Xiaokai was suddenly at a loss, but Xiaoxian was not flustered. Her watery eyes turned around Xiaokai's face, and she even seemed a little excited, walking over obediently, wanting to hook Xiaokai's arm.
"Move, step aside." Ning Qing ran over with anger and pushed Xiaoxian away, fiercely grabbing Xiaokai's arm.
Xiao Yun also looked at Leilong coldly, "What do you mean by doing this in front of me?"
"I… I didn't mean anything," Leilong was in a dilemma today, after hesitating for a long time, he finally struggled to say, "Mr. Yan, I will come to make amends another day. Today… today, I'll leave first."
"Wait," Xiao Yun shouted after Leilong's back, "You don't need to send the real person, but please send the Happy Goddess over."
"Uh… alright." Leilong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left without turning back.
"Eh, Shijie, why do you want that thing?" Xiaokai was puzzled, "You don't think I'm that kind of pervert, do you?"
"Of course not," Xiao Yun said fiercely, "This kind of thing harms the country and the people. When he sends it over, we will destroy it immediately."
When Xiaokai returned home, the two fox spirits had already prepared a hot meal, they pulled Xiaokai to sit at the dining table, arranged the dishes for him, handed him the chopsticks, and tied a napkin around his neck. They watched him wolf down the food, and after he finished, Xiaoxin went to tidy up while Xiaoyue came over to massage Xiaokai's shoulders. In every possible way, they served him attentively. These fox women, who were naturally good at pleasing men, once they decided to wholeheartedly please a man, it was truly a great fortune for that man. Xiaokai had protested to no avail for a few days, but he gradually tasted the sweetness and no longer resisted.
That night, when it was past eight o'clock, Leilong indeed sent someone to deliver the Happy Goddess. This was the first time the two fox spirits had seen such a lifelike jade, and they marveled at it. They carefully inspected it from top to bottom, and when they looked at the abdomen, their faces blushed, and they seemed absent-minded. Suddenly, Xiaoyue said, "Strange."
Xiaokai, who had been observing the rules for a long time, didn't dare to look at this jade statue. It wasn't until Xiaoyue spoke that he leaned over. However, he saw Xiaoyue pointing to the most intimate part of the goddess, and he felt quite embarrassed and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"
"It's a bit strange," Xiaoyue said with a harsh tone, "This thing is a national disaster. When he sends it over, we'll destroy it immediately!"

"It's a bit strange," Xiaoyue said with a harsh tone, "This thing is a national disaster. When he sends it over, we'll destroy it immediately!"
This person and fox, you look at me, I look at you, feeling extremely strange. After a long time, Xiao Kai finally said, "Why don't you try again?"
Xiao Yue looked a bit fearful, but unwilling to oppose Xiao Kai's wishes, she bit her lip and said, "Okay."
This time, she extended her middle finger. Xiao Kai suddenly recalled some inappropriate scenes from certain movies, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yue strangely. Xiao Yue blushed and scolded, "Master, what are you thinking?"
Xiao Kai chuckled, dispelled his evil thoughts, and focused all his attention on Xiao Yue's actions.
Xiao Yue's finger went deep, and she suddenly felt a bite. Her body trembled slightly, but she resisted her fear and didn't pull out her finger. Instead, she pushed it in a little deeper. At this moment, the distance had reached the limit of her finger. Suddenly, she felt emptiness in front of her, and the tip of her finger had reached a place that seemed neither heaven nor earth.
Xiao Yue felt strange and was about to move her finger to feel the situation inside when her whole body suddenly trembled and she froze.
"Xiao Yue, what's wrong?" Xiao Kai immediately felt her trembling.
"I'm fine," Xiao Yue's expression changed rapidly, showing surprise, suspicion, confusion, and an undisguised excitement. After a moment, her voice trembled, "Master, I... I..." She stuttered and couldn't finish her sentence.
Xiao Kai, in his urgency, didn't have time to think about whether it was a scorpion, a snake, or some ancient monster inside. He grabbed Xiao Yue's wrist, pulled it out with a "swoosh," and suddenly pulled her finger out of the hole. The fingertip not only had water stains but also had a few spots of deep red, resembling blood stains. Xiao Kai felt a sudden pain in his heart, put Xiao Yue's finger in his mouth, licked off the redness, and then carefully examined the wound. He regretfully said, "It's all my fault."
"Master, I'm really fine," seeing Xiao Kai's concern, Xiao Yue's voice softened, "I was just surprised because I felt the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth."
Xiao Kai shook his head, thinking that the sweetness of the redness he licked off didn't seem like bloodstains. He casually said, "Oh, isn't the spiritual energy of heaven and earth present in many places? What's so special about it?"
"Master, it's different," Xiao Yue took a deep breath and said, "Do you remember why our fox clan wants to steal the elixir of life?"
Xiao Kai thought for a moment and finally grasped the essence, "You mean... similar to the water spiritual energy inside the Cold Jade Bed?"
"Yes," Xiao Yue seemed quite excited and took a deep breath before continuing, "That kind of water attribute spiritual energy is the lifeline of our fox clan!"
Only then did Xiao Kai understand, "Are you saying that this goddess statue can revive the legacy of your fox clan?"
"It's possible," Xiao Yue said, "We need to fully understand this goddess statue before drawing a conclusion."
"That's great," Xiao Kai was also happy, "If it really helps you, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Yue's eyes were teary, and she took two steps back, bowed deeply, and choked up, "Thank you, Master."
Xiao Kai chuckled. Although he didn't speak, he was also happy for them. The two little foxes had been so caring to him, and finally, he could do something for them.
But at this moment, the scolding voice of the erudite man resounded in his mind, "Idiot! Fool! Silly fool! This Happy Goddess is a rare human-shaped blood jade, and the Ice Soul Crystal inside is a treasure comparable to the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Iron. It's more valuable than the Cold Jade Bed by a hundredfold! And you want to give it to a few worthless foxes?"
"Damn, how do you know everything?" Xiao Kai said, "And if you scold me again, be careful I won't be polite to you."
The erudite man didn't dare to offend Xiao Kai and grunted a few times before saying, "You know, the Ice Soul Crystal is the purest gold energy between heaven and earth. Although it's mysterious and unpredictable, it tends to be too rigid and lacks softness, while the Water Energy Crystal is the purest water energy between heaven and earth. If it can be fused with the pure qi of the Celestial Ink Sword, it can create a unique treasure under the sky. With this item, not only flying with the sword will be possible, but even going to the heavens, entering the earth, and overturning rivers and seas will be absolutely achievable."
Xiao Kai shook his head, "Why do I need such a good treasure? No matter how good the treasure is, it's not as important as the lives of dozens of foxes. That's my principle; don't try to persuade me."
"Hmph! Hmph!" The erudite man was obviously truly angry, sneered several times, and scolded, "You, with a weak mind, can't distinguish between friends and enemies, behaving with excessive kindness, and talking about principles indiscriminately. If you continue like this, what achievements can you have?"
Aware that the erudite man was truly looking out for him, Xiao Kai didn't get angry but firmly said, "I've decided to give the Ice Soul Crystal to the fox clan."
The erudite man sighed deeply and fell silent.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Kai smiled and said, "Erudite Sir, you have lots of knowledge, so don't be mad at me. By the way, I heard you've been very interested in reading recently. I'll bring you a bunch of books in a few days, how about that?"
After a few minutes of silence, the erudite man finally took the bait, "Do you still have the book 'Traveling to the Unknown'?"
"Yes, yes, of course," Xiao Kai nodded repeatedly, "That book has come out a lot recently. If you want it, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
The erudite man said coldly, "Alright, in addition to 'Traveling to the Unknown,' I also want 'Tales of the Demon God,' 'The Chronicles of Ali Buda,' 'I am a Great Wizard,' and 'Unusual Heroes.' Buy them all for me tomorrow. Otherwise, don't expect me to tell you the secret of the Ice Soul Crystal!"
Xiao Kai was overjoyed and naturally promised immediately.
After that, a night passed in silence. The two little foxes were extremely excited, making a lot of noise all night. Xiao Kai woke up in the middle of the night and could still hear them tinkering with the Happy Goddess statue in the living room.
The third bet with Ning Yu didn't happen the next day, so there was nothing to do. Xiao Kai was too lazy to go to work and went out early to buy a pile of novels and threw them into the No Word Library. He waited until evening when he finally received a summons from the erudite man.
The erudite man's eyes were bloodshot like a rabbit, which startled Xiao Kai, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I've been reading all day," the erudite man yawned, "Let me tell you about the human-shaped blood jade and the Ice Soul Crystal."
"The human-shaped blood jade is not a very advanced thing, and its function is not particularly noble," the erudite man said, "In essence, the harmony of yin and yang is the most basic principle in the world. From the lowest level of intercourse to the higher level of dual cultivation, these are typical manifestations of the harmony of yin and yang. Of course, there are some evil techniques involving replenishing yin with yang or vice versa, although they violate the principles of heaven and earth, they can greatly increase the yin and yang energy in the short term, rapidly improving one's power. Regarding these, I won't say much. What you need to know is that the most fundamental way for all things in the world to become strong and advanced is to achieve the harmony of yin and yang. Apart from humans, there are many mountain spirits, water demons, and beasts in the world. They don't have the physical advantages of humans, so there have been other strange things in the world to assist them in balancing yin and yang, and the human-shaped blood jade is one such thing."
Xiao Kai was completely confused, "Can you simplify it?"
"Don't be impatient, we are about to get to the main point, and it's essential for you as a cultivator to know these common principles. Let me tell you, so you can avoid many detours," the erudite man said, "In short, for monsters to cultivate, dual cultivation is also a good method, but it's much more challenging for them to find suitable partners for dual cultivation than it is for humans. At this point, the human-shaped blood jade can help them."
Xiao Kai's eyes widened, "Are you saying that they... mate with the human-shaped blood jade?"
"That's right. This is the rule of heaven and earth. You don't have to feel awkward. Accurately speaking, they need to directly copulate with the human-shaped blood jade to achieve the purpose of balancing their Yin and Yang," the erudite man spoke confidently, "The human-shaped blood jade has a human form and complete structure and can serve as a substitute for a female body. The most wonderful thing is that this thing, which is born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can continuously accumulate and nourish the yin and yang energy. While the living being can be enhanced by copulating with it, the blood jade's own yin and yang energy can also be greatly improved. Therefore, the more it is used, the stronger the human-shaped blood jade becomes. The finest human-shaped blood jade can be highly valued even by loose immortals."
"What about this human-shaped blood jade?" Xiao Kai was very curious about this strange thing. "It... It seems to have blood inside..."
"This blood jade is very strange," the erudite man furrowed his brow, "From my observation, it's only a thousand years old, and it should have been a very low-grade blood jade. But this blood jade has already condensed the 'true Yin,' and what you call blood is its true Yin. The human-shaped blood jade with true Yin is the finest among all human-shaped blood jade."
"What is true Yin?" Xiao Kai, who had heard so many new terms in one go, as a typical outsider, was glad to have a chance to learn some knowledge.
"True Yin is the purest yin energy within the blood jade's body, so concentrated and pure that it has substance. This makes it the most nourishing yin energy for cultivators, almost incomparably potent," the erudite man pondered, "To my estimation, it should be due to the presence of the Ice Soul Crystal inside the human-shaped blood jade that it has acquired such a miraculous change!"
"Phew..." Xiao Kai let out a breath, "Finally, we're talking about the Ice Soul Crystal."
"The Ice Soul Crystal is countless times more precious than the human-shaped blood jade. As the purest water energy between heaven and earth, its status is comparable to that of the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Iron. It is one of the most fundamental forces between heaven and earth. The human-shaped blood jade is a collection of yin and soft water energy, and precisely because the Ice Soul Crystal has entered the human-shaped blood jade's body, it has transformed this ordinary human-shaped blood jade into the top-grade one," the erudite man sighed, "I can't understand why someone would stuff such a priceless treasure as the Ice Soul Crystal inside the human-shaped blood jade and leave it there for a thousand years!"
Xiao Kai was startled, "Does no one discover the Ice Soul Crystal inside the human-shaped blood jade during this thousand years?"
"They can't discover it; the current cultivators are too weak," the erudite man sighed, "The combination of these two treasures creates such a seamless concealment that no one, be it a Buddha, a demon, or a cultivator, can detect their presence. As a result, this super treasure has been rolling around in this mundane world for a thousand years, enduring untold desecrations by worldly people. It's really a lamentable situation!"
Xiaokai's conversation with Great Scholar was unknown to Xiaoyue and Xiaoxin. They saw Xiaokai sitting motionless and thought he was meditating. They watched him intently, not daring to disturb him. After waiting for about half an hour, Xiaokai finally came to his senses and nodded to Xiaoyue, saying, "Alright, let me first explain the origin of this treasure to you, and then you can return it to the fox tribe."
After Xiaokai finished explaining the Blood Jade and Ice Crystal, Xiaoyue and Xiaoxin's eyes were moist. They looked at each other and nodded, feeling that they had never seen anyone like him before, someone who would easily give up the most precious thing in the world for a few monsters. Despite lacking any qualities worth pursuing or befriending, these monsters had led Xiaoyue and Xiaoxin to fall in love with him unreservedly. They were willing to do anything to please him and protect him, even if it meant sacrificing everything.
That night, Xiaokai felt the emptiness of the room. Sitting on the sofa, he felt uncomfortable with his shoulders and realized that the person who had been massaging him every day was not there. As he lay down in bed and tucked himself in, he discovered that the person who had been turning off the lights and closing the door every day was also absent. Xiaokai stared at the ceiling, suddenly feeling somewhat lost.
Early next morning, Xiaokai walked into the bathroom, rubbing his sleepy eyes. As he picked up the mouthwash cup, he was surprised to see it already filled with warm water, and the toothbrush lying quietly beside it with a neat line of toothpaste on top. "Xiaoyue, Xiaoxin, are you back?" he called. It was quiet outside, and without thinking much, he quickly finished his routine and went out.
As soon as he stepped out, he was shocked. "Master, we're back!" Xiaoyue and Xiaoxin smiled and approached him, each grabbing one of Xiaokai's arms. This action had become quite habitual lately, and Xiaokai didn't resist as much as he did at the beginning. He looked down and blushed at the sight of the two little foxes, who seemed a bit uneasy. Xiaoxin stuck out her bright red tongue and said softly, "Master... you won't be mad at us, will you?"
