The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 102
Chapter 102
The air in the room was filled with a sensual, peach-blossom-like fragrance.
The fox spirit exerted all her might, determined to bring the aloof Immortal Venerable down to the mortal world. Being caressed a few times wasn’t enough, and she boldly wrapped her large tails around the Immortal Venerable’s slender wrists.
The entire spring, the fox had been busy taking care of the young cub, suppressing her own heat cycle. Now, she intended to claim back what was due, with interest.
She leaned in, passionately kissing Tan Qingxuan’s lips. The rosy protrusion of Tan Qingxuan’s upper lip was repeatedly bitten until it was engorged, almost bleeding.
Tan Qingxuan’s long fingers stroked Cang Ran’s back, a faint gasp escaping her lips. She couldn’t help but tighten her grip, kneading Cang Ran’s fox tails.
A powerful surge of tingling sensation shot up to her tailbone. Cang Ran paused, softening her kiss slightly. Seeing the moist, pink tip of Tan Qingxuan’s tongue, her heart quickened. She parted Tan Qingxuan’s thin lips, using her own soft, slippery tongue to entice her.
As Tan Qingxuan’s tongue barely peeked past her red lips, Cang Ran gently sucked on it with her rosy lips.
The cool lips sucking on the soft tongue was like an electric current. Tan Qingxuan’s breathing instantly became rapid.
Cang Ran held the kiss without letting go, intertwining their tongues, lightly stirring, continuously swallowing, causing Tan Qingxuan’s cheeks to flush deeper and her body to become increasingly hot.
Cang Ran was a very dominant fox; she wouldn’t stop until she was satisfied, continuously sucking on the soft tongue, refusing to let go no matter what.
Tan Qingxuan pinched Cang Ran’s fox ear with her fingers, pulling the fox back slightly, and let out a light, hoarse whisper: “Lecherous fox.”
Cang Ran was so soft from the rubbing. She wrapped her arms around Tan Qingxuan’s waist, kissed her earlobe, and softly cooed: “But Qingqing, I’m not full yet.”
Cang Ran’s gentle breath misted against Tan Qingxuan’s ear. Her seductive posture pressed tightly against Tan Qingxuan, more alluring than any spirit.
Cang Ran’s hand landed on the soft fabric of Tan Qingxuan’s clothes, and she kept gently rubbing her cheek against Tan Qingxuan’s neck, pleading: “I want to eat.”
Tan Qingxuan’s heart skipped a beat. She lightly bit her lip: “No, that’s for the cub. The cub needs to eat tonight.”
Cang Ran blushed and kissed Tan Qingxuan’s slender, elegant neck: “The cub eats meat now; she doesn’t like it anymore. The big fox hasn’t eaten it. The big fox loves it.”
Tan Qingxuan saw the desire in Cang Ran’s eyes, the seductive outer corners of her eyes tinged with arousal, both charming and pure.
Cang Ran kissed her fair earlobe. The soft, warm breath hit her, causing Tan Qingxuan to bite her lip harder.
Tan Qingxuan tightened her grip on the fox tail, grabbed the back of Cang Ran’s neck, and flipped her over, pinning her to the bed.
Before Cang Ran could react to the world spinning around her, Tan Qingxuan kissed her sensitive neck. Cang Ran whimpered, her eyes misting over with moisture.
After several rounds of intimacy, Cang Ran nestled in Tan Qingxuan’s arms, licking the corner of her lips with a look of contentment. She knew Qingqing was the best.
They should have continued to snuggle, but Tan Qingxuan picked up her moon-white undergarment. Cang Ran hugged her slender waist from behind and softly asked, “Where are you going?”
The top of her undergarment felt slightly cool and damp in one spot where the famished big fox had bitten her many times. Tan Qingxuan retrieved a new garment from her storage artifact.
“The cub should be waking up soon,” Tan Qingxuan said. Drops of post-coital sweat still clung to her. Once she was dressed, she returned to her usual aloof demeanor. The moon-white inner robe made her exquisitely beautiful face look even more serene and distant.
Cang Ran was satisfied. She couldn’t resist kissing Tan Qingxuan’s well-defined side profile: “It can’t be that fast, can it?”
Tan Qingxuan raised two fingers, pushing away her approaching forehead: “It’s been a long time. Change your clothes and open the window. The cub’s nose is as sensitive as yours.”
Cang Ran sniffed twice, her cheeks slightly warm. She helped Tan Qingxuan put on her clothes and tie her sash. She casually draped her outer robe over herself and went to open the window.
The Rising Phoenix Palace was built high up, with gently flowing clouds. Opening the window allowed her to reach out and touch them. A cool breeze swept in, carrying away all the intimate atmosphere in the room.
Tan Qingxuan received a message and went to the main hall to pick up the child. She also brought back a pot of chicken soup and a Cold Jade Watermelon ($Hanyu Xigua$). The chicken soup was prepared by Song Zhen’s order. The chicken meat was shredded into very small pieces for the little fox cub to eat when hungry.
The watermelon was something the little fox cub saw on the way. She pointed at the green melon field while in her Auntie’s arms and then rubbed against Song Zhen’s chin. Song Zhen stroked the little fox cub, calling her “Good Baby,” and had a disciple pick it from the capybara field, even paying the capybaras some spiritual stones.
Tan Qingxuan placed the melon on a slightly higher low table. The little fox cub snuggled obediently in Tan Qingxuan’s arms. She saw her fox mother leaning leisurely by the window, her nine beautiful fox tails wagging. She wiggled her little body, slid down from Tan Qingxuan’s embrace, and crawled toward Cang Ran.
Cang Ran watched the milky little fox cub crawl over. It was rare to see the little fox cub not clinging to Tan Qingxuan. She picked her up from in front of the couch: “My baby is back! Did you miss Mother?”
The little fox cub made a soft, indistinct cooing sound. Cang Ran kissed her rosy little cheek and automatically began supplementing the conversation: “You missed Mother very much, didn’t you? Mother missed you too. I can’t live without our dearest little fox cub. Let Mother give you a big hug.”
The little fox cub was hugged tightly by the big fox. Although she didn’t understand what the big fox was saying, the big fox seemed very happy. The lively little fox cub was content to be held and sniffed by Cang Ran for a long time.
Tan Qingxuan saw the big fox and the little fox cub playing happily. She picked up a jade slip to read and instructed: “Feed the cub some of the chicken soup that Junior Sister sent later.”
Cang Ran agreed. Of course, she would feed the little fox cub meat. At three months old, it was time to gradually wean her off milk.
Since the little fox cub was born, she had been feeding her spiritual cow milk. The little fox cub wasn’t picky, eating whatever she was fed.
The little fox cub vaguely knew that the milk from her niangqin (mother) was the best and wanted to cling to Tan Qingxuan. However, the overwhelmingly possessive big fox would always transform into her beast form and hug her. Forced to drink bottled milk while held in the big fox’s arms, she was still able to eat her fill.
Cang Ran transformed into a fox and played with the little fox cub for a while. She felt the little fox cub’s deflated little tummy and fed her shredded chicken mixed with fragrant chicken soup. The little fox cub ate so happily she sounded like she was awoo-ing.
Since transforming into a little fox, the little thing rarely changed back into her human form, perhaps knowing that her human form wasn’t as nimble as her beast form for crawling everywhere.
Her fox fur was still pale pink and would only turn redder as she grew. At three months old, she was a small, fluffy ball, her fox fur puffed up, and her nine fox tails were always held high.
After feeding the little fox cub, Cang Ran gave her a small hollow wooden ball. The little fox cub carried the wooden ball and played with it in the sleeping chamber.
The small wooden ball rolled back and forth. The little fox cub pawed the ball back and forth. Cang Ran sat next to Tan Qingxuan, offering her chicken soup: “Qingqing, drink some soup before you get back to work.”
Tan Qingxuan was reviewing jade slips. Seeing her approach, she glanced at the pot of chicken soup: “I’m not hungry. You drink it yourself.”
Cang Ran licked her lip: “I’m not hungry either. I can’t drink any more.”
Tan Qingxuan saw her look of reluctance and reached out to pinch her big fox tail: “It’s been a long time since you cultivated. Go and practice properly.”
Cang Ran chuckled, put down the soup bowl, and settled down to cultivate. She absorbed and inhaled the surrounding spiritual energy, practicing the top-tier cultivation technique from the Demon Emperor Seal. The spiritual energy circulated through her body.
Cang Ran hadn’t been cultivating for long when she suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling. She quickly withdrew her technique and looked over with Tan Qingxuan. The little fox cub was standing on her hind legs, pawing at the fabric of the low table. The large watermelon rolled off and split into two.
The little fox cub pressed her front paws together, hopped right next to the cracked watermelon, her pink little paw pads covered in red watermelon juice. She began licking the chunk of watermelon.
Cang Ran was about to let out a sharp cry. She darted over and quickly picked up the little cub.
“Ah ah ah, I can’t handle this! You naughty little cub, why are you so mischievous!”
Cang Ran shook the little fox cub up and down several times to shake off the watermelon juice. The little fox cub didn’t understand what the big fox was saying. She clung tightly to the watermelon flesh, licking it in small mouthfuls.
The little fox cub’s mouth was covered in red watermelon juice, with ink-jade-like watermelon seeds stuck to the corners of her lips. Seeing Tan Qingxuan walk over, she grabbed the sweet melon flesh, intending to offer it to her niangqin.
Tan Qingxuan couldn’t help but smile, wiping the watermelon seeds from the little fox cub’s mouth: “Mother won’t eat it, Xiang Bao. You eat it yourself. A’Ran, I’ll clean up the watermelon on the floor. You take the cub to wash up.”
Cang Ran started getting a headache: “Naughty little cub! The moment I look away, you start causing trouble!”
Cang Ran rolled up her sleeves and spanked the little fox cub’s soft, bouncy bottom a few times. The little fox cub’s eyes welled up from the spanking, and she let out a tearful whimper.
The little fox cub was already about to cry. When the fierce big fox took away the sweet watermelon, she let out a Waa-ooh sound and started crying very loudly, transforming back into her human form.
The little fox cub’s eyes greatly resembled Tan Qingxuan’s, like a miniature version of her, looking exceptionally intelligent and lovely. Cang Ran was originally going to throw away the watermelon chunk, but her heart inexplicably softened, and she had to put it back into the little fox cub’s hand.
With the sweet watermelon back in her hand, the little fox cub immediately stopped crying, her watery eyes blinking like the cutest, most well-behaved baby in the world.
Cang Ran could only tell herself repeatedly: She’s my biological child. I can’t throw her away. She took the little fox cub to wash her up. When they returned, Tan Qingxuan had already cleaned up the hall, restoring it to its previous immaculate state.
The little fox cub held the watermelon and again wanted Tan Qingxuan to hold her. Tan Qingxuan refused, so the little fox cub offered the messy watermelon to the big fox.
Cang Ran never expected to become the cub’s designated trash can one day. She put the watermelon into her storage pouch, intending to feed it to the fish later. After wiping the little fox cub’s hands and mouth clean, she finally handed her over to Tan Qingxuan.
Cang Ran said irritably: “Naughty little cub! When there’s something good, you don’t think of Mother, but when you don’t want to eat it, you think of Mother.”
Tan Qingxuan held the little fox cub, stroking the big fox’s head: “The cub is still small. She’ll be better when she grows up.”
The little fox cub, nestled in Tan Qingxuan’s arms, was as well-behaved as a good baby, her soft fox ears twitching twice. What else could Cang Ran do but spoil her?
After the hot summer passed, the ‘Autumn Tiger’ heat arrived. The little fox cub was getting bigger day by day. Cang Ran discussed it with Tan Qingxuan and wanted to take the little fox cub back to Fox Mountain for a while.
The little fox cub had started growing small canine teeth and liked to gnaw on things everywhere. Various objects in the Rising Phoenix Palace were gnawed on, and even the Emerald Verdure Palace suffered damage.
Auntie Song Zhen was exceptionally doting on the little fox cub. When an ancient medical book was bitten, she would say it didn’t matter, she could transcribe it again, and even turned around to criticize the big fox for fussing over such a small matter with the little fox cub.
Cang Ran could only express her exasperation. She took the mischievous little fox cub to another place while Song Zhen was busy. There were many small animals on Fox Mountain. Cang Ran’s fox den had furniture carved from jade, which the little fox cub couldn’t bite through, and her habit of gnawing for teething finally disappeared.
The little fox cub and little Hedgehog Auntie chased butterflies everywhere, carrying small baskets to the creek to catch river shrimp. She slept in the squirrel’s little wooden house. Her little paws dug out the field mouse’s stored food, putting it into a small beast skin pouch Cang Ran made for her, and brought a full bag back to Tan Qingxuan.
Cang Ran had to take the little fox cub, the mountain bully, to apologize to the field mouse spirit. She also made some stir-fried foods like pine nuts for the little fox cub, put them in her small pouch for her to gnaw on, and for her to share with her small animal friends.
In the evening when the sun set, the big fox carried the dirty little fox cub to the small pond where the big fox used to bathe, for a cool rinse.
Tan Qingxuan took turns grooming the big fox and the little fox cub. After the little fox cub’s fur was groomed, she imitated the big fox, shaking her body, which caused her to wobble unsteadily and created a small shower of water on the ground.
The big fox’s fur, which had just been dried, was dampened by the mischievous little fox cub’s shake. So, the big fox shook her own fur, wetting the little fox cub. The little fox cub shook her head and did the same back. The mother and daughter started a water fight by the small pond.
Finally, Tan Qingxuan held one fox in each arm, dried their damp fur, and brought them back to the fox den.
The night sky in the mountains was beautiful, filled with stars. Cang Ran set up three hammocks between two large trees. Tan Qingxuan set up a barrier to keep out mosquitoes, snakes, and other beasts. The big fox and Tan Qingxuan lay side-by-side in the hammocks, enjoying the moonlight. The little fox cub wouldn’t sleep in her own little hammock and jumped back and forth between Cang Ran and Tan Qingxuan’s arms.
The big fox used a big paw to pat the little fox cub back into her own arms and gently held the little fox cub by the scruff of her neck. The little fox cub finally settled down, nestling obediently in the big fox’s arms. She fell asleep soon after.
The big fox kissed the sleeping little fox cub several times, carried the sleeping cub, and squeezed onto Tan Qingxuan’s hammock. She didn’t know why they bothered setting up three hammocks. Tan Qingxuan gently patted both the big fox and the little fox cub, coaxing both foxes to sleep.
When winter came, they returned to the Grand Profound Sect. When it snowed lightly, Cang Ran took the little fox cub and began building a snowman outside the Rising Phoenix Palace. The little fox cub’s own fur wasn’t dense enough, so Tan Qingxuan had already put thick clothing on her.
The little fox cub wore a red fox-head hat hand-knitted by Cang Ran and a scarlet little cape. From a distance, she looked tiny, following behind Cang Ran, covered in snow, looking more like a little snowman than the actual snowman. No, she was a little dwarf snowman.
Cang Ran squatted down, handed the little dwarf a small bucket and a small shovel, and assigned her the task.
The little fox cub, who couldn’t even walk steadily yet, happily ran off to help shovel snow.
Tan Qingxuan, fearing the little fox cub would tire, had already gathered the snow into piles. The little fox cub could fill a small bucket with a casual scoop of her shovel.
With mother and daughter working together, a small snowman was quickly built. The little fox cub was afraid the snowman was cold and tried to take off her own warm little cape to put on the snowman.
Cang Ran and Tan Qingxuan exchanged a glance and chuckled, shaking their heads: “Good cub, the little snowman doesn’t need clothes. Give her your little bucket as a hat. Little Hedgehog Auntie will make you a new little bucket.”
The little fox cub reluctantly gave up her beloved little bucket to the little snowman.
During the snowy days, the little fox cub fell in love with building snowmen. She and the big fox lined up about a dozen small snowmen outside the Rising Phoenix Palace, with a super small snowman standing right in front. Each snowman had a different posture.
The little fox cub even named the snowmen: the larger ones were her two mothers and various aunties and sisters, and the smallest one was herself.
Anyone who came to the Rising Phoenix Palace to find Immortal Venerable Qingxuan was always shocked by the field of little snowmen the cub had built. The little fox cub would even take her small shovel every morning to reinforce the snowmen.
Before spring arrived, to preserve the cub’s achievements, Cang Ran and Tan Qingxuan drew many talismans together to protect the snowmen, counting it as a new skill acquired.
