We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? Chapter 460: You Are Never Allowed to Change, Ever

Night fell.

In an exquisite little courtyard filled with flowers and plants,

Tushan Jingci, who was supposed to be reflecting on her mistakes behind closed doors, was staying in her room, seated on a cushion.

She held a picture book in her hands, leaning forward with her whole body sprawled over a low floor table as she turned the pages one by one in utter boredom.

The snow-white fox tail behind the little girl drooped limply across the floor, looking utterly listless.

“So boring...”

“So boring...”

Tushan Jingci yawned, set down the picture book, and swept her tail back and forth across the ground like a little broom.

“I hate being confined the most. Being confined is no fun at all...”

As she spoke, the fox-eared young lady rolled over and lay on the floor, clutching her big white tail in her arms. Like a snowy little dumpling, she kept rolling around on the ground.

As she rolled,

Tushan Jingci’s mind could not help drifting back to the little boy she had met the night before, the one called Xiao Mo.

Everyone else in the residence, whenever they saw her, stayed far away. They respected her and feared her... and did not dare play with her...

But that little boy, who was about the same age as she was, was different.

Not only was he good-looking, he also did not seem afraid of her.

“Maybe he is not like the others. Maybe he really is willing to play with me?”

The more she thought about it,

the brighter Tushan Jingci’s eyes became, until she suddenly sat up from the floor.

“That is right! I do not have to sneak out of the residence again, do I?”

“If I just go find him to play, that should be fine, right?”

Tushan Jingci said to herself inwardly.

Having decided on a new goal, Tushan Jingci immediately took off her little socks, climbed onto the bed, and called to the maid serving nearby, “Sister Yueshi, I am a little sleepy. I am going to sleep now. You should rest early too.”

“Yes, Young Lady.”

Yueshi could not help smiling inwardly.

For the Young Lady to be going to bed this early, she was definitely planning to stir up trouble again.

But since Madam had already said to turn a blind eye, then she would simply pretend to know nothing.

Half an incense stick’s time later, Tushan Jingci lay motionless on the bed, her chest rising and falling steadily, just as if she had truly fallen asleep.

When Yueshi saw that the Young Lady had “fallen asleep,” she also removed her outer skirt and went to sleep in the outer room.

After the midpoint of the hour of Hai, Tushan Jingci opened her eyes. Her bright, watery eyes turned quietly left and right.

Tushan Jingci tiptoed out of bed and walked out of the inner room.

After taking one look at Sister Yueshi sleeping in the outer room, Tushan Jingci covered her little mouth and secretly laughed, feeling that she really was clever after all. She had fooled Sister Yueshi just like that.

“Sister Yueshi, I am going out to play now.”

The little girl called softly, then proudly walked out of the room.

After Tushan Jingci left, Yueshi gently shook her head and followed behind the Young Lady.

In the courtyard, Tushan Jingci skipped along with happy little steps, her feet seeming to shatter the soft moonlight beneath them, her little tail lifted and bobbing as she ran forward.

“Is that not the direction of the kitchen courtyard?”

Following behind Tushan Jingci, Yueshi furrowed her brows and wondered what the Young Lady was going there for.

Before long, Tushan Jingci arrived in front of a woodshed.

Tushan Jingci looked left and right first. Only after confirming that no one was around did she raise her hand and knock on the door.

Inside the woodshed, Xiao Mo, who had been awakened by the knocking, rubbed his eyes, got down from the pile of firewood, and opened the wooden door.

The instant the door opened, moonlight poured through the doorway and fell across the little girl’s silvery-white hair and fluffy tail.

The bright glow outlined the fox-eared young lady’s skirt. Her big, watery eyes blinked again and again, holding the quiet light of the moon.

At that moment, she looked like a spirit beneath the moon.

“Young Lady? Why have you come here?” Xiao Mo asked in surprise.

“It is me, it is me.” Tushan Jingci nodded happily.

“You still want to sneak out of the residence?” Xiao Mo asked.

“Of course not.” Tushan Jingci puffed out her little lips. “I came to find you to play tonight.”

“To find me to play?” Xiao Mo’s expression showed a little hesitation.

“What is it?” Tushan Jingci looked at Xiao Mo’s somewhat troubled expression, and the happiness on her face could not help dimming. Even her swaying tail drooped. “You do not want to play with me?”

“Of course that is not it. It is only that... is it really all right for the Young Lady to come out so late at night? I am afraid the Young Lady will be punished again,” Xiao Mo explained.

“Do not worry, it will be fine. Even though I have not yet stepped onto the path of cultivation, I still know a little of the fox clan’s innate divine abilities. Sister Yueshi is silly. She would never notice that I ran out. I will only play for a little while and then go back. It will definitely be fine. I used to do this all the time.”

Tushan Jingci waved her little hand, still wearing that adorably self-assured look.

“But, Young Lady... I am human...” Xiao Mo said helplessly.

“Is there a difference between humans and demons?” Tushan Jingci tilted her head slightly. “Do you not look just the same as me? You just do not have a tail, that is all. It is fine. I do not mind that you do not have a tail.”

“All right then.” Hearing the little girl’s words, Xiao Mo smiled and stepped aside. “Then please come in, Young Lady.”

“Mhm.”

Tushan Jingci walked into the woodshed.

“What would the Young Lady like to play?” Xiao Mo asked.

“Eh? That is right, what should we play?” Tushan Jingci bit her finger, and her fox ears twitched. “Xiao Mo, what do you usually play?”

“Usually, after I finish working in the kitchen courtyard, I come back to my room to rest, or I listen to Master Niu and the others chatting. There is generally nothing to play,” Xiao Mo replied.

“Ah... then... then what do we do... what is there that is fun...?” Tushan Jingci lowered her little head, looking as though she were thinking very hard.

“Ah, I know!” The fox-eared young lady’s tail suddenly sprang upright, and she said happily, “How about this, Xiao Mo? Why do you not tell me about the things Master Niu and the others talk about?”

“Well...” Xiao Mo looked troubled.

The main problem was that what those rough fellows like Master Niu talked about was all things like “the dairy cow’s chest,” “the cat demon’s waist,” and “the hippopotamus’s backside.” How was he supposed to tell her any of that?

“How about... I play tic-tac-toe with the Young Lady?” Xiao Mo suddenly thought of something.

“All right, all right. As long as someone is playing with me, anything is fine. But Xiao Mo, what is tic-tac-toe?” Tushan Jingci asked curiously.

“Tic-tac-toe means drawing this kind of grid. The Young Lady draws circles on it, and I draw crosses on it, like this...”

Xiao Mo picked up two little twigs and handed one to Tushan Jingci. Then he crouched down, drew out the grid on the ground, and taught her how to play.

“It sounds fun. Let us play this.”

Because the rules were very simple, Tushan Jingci understood them all at once.

“All right.” Xiao Mo smiled and nodded. He drew another grid. “Young Lady, you go first.”

“Mhm.”

Tushan Jingci nodded her little head and was just about to place her mark.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, the little girl looked up at Xiao Mo.

“What is it, Young Lady?” Xiao Mo asked.

“Xiao Mo, if we are playing a game together now, does that mean we are friends?” Tushan Jingci asked expectantly.

Xiao Mo smiled softly. “If the Young Lady is willing, then I can naturally be the Young Lady’s friend.”

“Really? You said it yourself!”

Tushan Jingci’s beautiful fox eyes curved into crescents.

“Then from now on, you are my friend for life.”

“You are never allowed to change, ever.”
