Chapter 93 — Pawed by a Fox (2/2)

The little fox looked at the deep bottomless cliff and then to the mischievous phoenix eyes of Zi Yi. Suddenly, it had a bad feeling in its heart.

It suddenly does not want to practise Light Footwork. Can it just go back to sleep?

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Master, you're not going to throw disciple'er down, are you?

The little fox felt its right eyelid twitching, then its left eyelid was twitching, and back again its right eyelid was twitching. It was a disaster ah!

Zi Yi looked down at the little fox in his arms. His slender fingers gently went down through the snow-white fur on its head and his mischievous smile became slightly softer.

”Little disciple'er, don't be afraid. Master will protect you and won't let you die horribly.”

The little fox was alarmed in its heart. It was still truly afraid. Just what's going to happen next?

The little fox shook its head fiercely at Zi Yi. No, no, no, this fox should not learn Light Footwork. This fox is sleepy, this fox should sleep…… Let's go back to bed.

Zi Yi positioned his hand that was holding the little fox above the cliff's opening and his fingers loosened. The little fox's claws held onto Zi Yi's fingers desperately and shook its head in fear.

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Master, don't do it, don't do it, fox don't want to learn Light Footwork, so let's not do it okay?

Zi Yi's thin lips spit out two words… No way.

Zi Yi's other hand grabbed the little fox's claw that was holding on to his finger and gave it a soft flick, so a certain little fox fell down sadly.

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Zi Yi, you're not my master anymore……

Hearing the squeaks of the little fox, Zi Yi's thin lips stretched wider. He watched as a certain little fox plummet with four feet facing straight down. After a while, Zi Yi spread out his arms and like a gorgeous purple bird, he dived down.

Zi Yi fell twice as fast as the little fox, and soon he caught up with the little fox. He noticed that a certain little fox had its eyes shut tight in fear as the wind rushed madly past its snow-white fur, and proceed to give a gentle poke to the little fox's cheek with his finger.

The little fox shook its head, refusing to open its eyes.

Zi Yi let out an inaudible sigh and opened his thin lips, ”Little disciple'er, open your eyes.”

The little fox's ears twitched, it opened its eyes a crack, and saw its hateful master. In a flash, the little fox's eyes opened wide with its front claws fiercely slashing at Zi Yi.

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Bad Master! Do you want to kill fox ah?!

Zi Yi's mischievous smile returned, ”How could master want your life? Master still wants his sleeping companion, which is you. Little disciple'er, master will now pa.s.s on to you the mind scripture, you must follow them earnestly.”

Mind scripture?

What mind scripture?

The little fox blinked its eyes. The wind was whistling loudly past its ears and its eyes were starting to hurt.

The voice of Zi Yi articulating the mind scripture was transmitted directly into the little fox's ears. It immediately followed along silently. After refining a paragraph of the mind scripture, the little fox felt that the speed of its descent got slower. The little fox was amazed and simply could not believe.

Zi Yi continued with the second paragraph of the mind scripture and this time the little fox could clearly feel its descending rate slowing down.

After Zi Yi completed the third paragraph of the mind scripture, the little fox felt its body floating lightly like a balloon. Its heart was full of excitement, which was hard to control.

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Master, I seem to have learned to do Light Footwork!

Right after the little fox said that, its body fell sharply and smashed onto the ground. The little fox's jubilation flipped into sorrow.

Zi Yi picked up the little fox from the ground and pats away the dust from its fur. When he saw the little fox's closed eyes, looking like it had fell to death, he flicked his finger at the little fox's nose.

”Don't pretend to be dead, your soul won't die.”

The little fox suddenly opened its eyes. Huh? It almost forgot that this was in a dream, not reality, so it cannot fall to death……

”Little disciple'er, remember the mind scripture that master taught you? If you practice hard, you will soon be able to leap onto roofs and vault over walls.”

Zi Yi patted the head of the little fox encouragingly. Holding a certain little fox, he once again took to the sky. The little fox looked at Zi Yi's handsome like a deity face, and then to the sky above. Zi Yi is very powerful ah! Is this meant to bring it straight to the sky?

Who would have expected!

Zi Yi took it up the cliff and threw it down again…

On that night, the little fox was thrown repeatedly by Zi Yi. In the end, the fear it felt originally was gone. Instead, it felt numb. Right, only numbness.

When the little fox woke up, it could still hear Zi Yi's voice floating in its mind.

”After a night of practicing Light Footwork, the courage of master's little disciple'er has gotten bigger.”

Its courage got bigger, well… How the f*** can it stay the same after going through such torture?!

The little fox woke up feeling weak all over. This feeling…… was worse than not sleeping at all.

The little fox gasped for breath. As it wanted to get up, it discovered that the room was still dark. The sky outside has yet to break into dawn. Suddenly, the little fox noticed someone lying on the other side of the pillow, breathing shallowly, with an arm situated right next to its paws.

The little fox's heart thumped heavily. This is… this is…

Notes!

Light Footwork = Qing Gong

Might as well turn it into an english name ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sellychi: I usually try to avoid using informal words, but it's just so convenient that the english verb ”paw” had another meaning~

It's always nice to see a hot guy being ”pawed” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
