The Fox Goddes Love Struggle
Chapter XXVI - Tianjin Academy

A breeze blew away every strand of black hair. Her hair looks plain unrobed and not tied to a ribbon. Making the night breeze so cold the more fun it is to play around with her hair.

Hands with skin as smooth as jade was cradling his body which was wrapped in plain white hanfu which became his trademark. The night feels cold even though this mortal nature has entered into the summer phase. Even the gentle breeze also caressed the skin of her white and smooth face without any blemishes.

Her clear eyes like sparkling pearls stared at the moon that accompanied her that night. The stars scattered around it and added to its own impression. The strong beauty of that night had removed the black clouds that were blocking it.

While the left is a view of a towering mountain that almost pierced through the clouds. It looks dark because the moonlight is not too bright.

Tonight Yi Changyin could not fall asleep, nor could he focus on cultivating. There was still one thing that continued to run in his heart, which he kept thinking about. Looking at the moon on the roof may be the best decision to soothe a little of her discomfort.

An all-blue man appeared in empty air, behind Yi Changyin's back. The man sat down next to him. "Why haven't you slept?" Ask Shen Lan.

Yi Changyin briefly gasped at Shen Lan's sudden arrival, before he finally smiled. "I just can't sleep. You take it easy, I can rest as much as possible in the spiritual dimension space."

Shen Lan looked at Yi Changyin's face which revealed discomfort. He slightly understood, "is there maybe something you want to ask?"

Yi Changyin turned his head towards Shen Lan. Right, he had forgotten something important, which of course Shen Lan had to ask. "Right, hit Xuan Chen's feet. Can you explain it to me?"

Shen Lan turned her face, looking at the moon. "I don't really want to say it. But, it seems like it should be told."

"Why are you hiding it?"

"My accolade is longer than yours. Doing so will make you tired and hurt. So, let me just." Shen Lan advised.

"I don't care."

*Note: The length of cultivation can also be called asceticism. Since the plant and the divine/spirit beast in this novel had no cultivation, so its power was calculated based on the amount of time it was ascetic. For example the hermitage Shen Lan who used tens of thousands of years more to focus on asceticism and obtain human form.

Shen Lan looked at Yi Changyin in disbelief. He let out a rude sigh, "you are so stubborn. To make a person sealed standing must wear illusions that drain spiritual energy. Once every hundred days one had to rearrange the illusion. You'll never be strong." Clearly while grumbling.

"Why indeed?" Yi Changyin looked at the moon with a smile, making the dim light envelop his face until it looked pale. "Either why do I feel. What I have will be in vain if I do not give it to others."

"Even your life?"

"As long as I don't mind, I'll give it to you."

Shen Lan looked at Yi Changyin with a complicated look on her face. Is that really what the girl said? Looks like he has to prove it. If it had been inscribed in the destiny stone, Shen Lan would not have been able to prevent it. Even if the girl was destined to die young, she could not prevent it. Maybe it was Xuan Chen who was going crazy.

"You're this.." Shen Lan sighed again, she did not know what to say anymore. "Actually, what was your problem in your past life up to this in your present life?" He looks like a big smile.

"You kidding? I'm sure this has nothing to do with the past." Yi Changyin replied sure. "I just want to feel how to sacrifice for someone."

Shen Lan snorted. "Say you love her."

Yi Changyin lowered his head, hiding his merry face. "Fell in love what? I'm just doing my job as a subordinate to his contract."

Shen Lan chuckled softly, she did not mind that anymore. "Remember, don't show yourself tomorrow."

"I understand."

Shen Lan stood up, about to leave the girl. "Don't forget to rest."

Just as he was about to disappear, suddenly the man felt something unusual. And Yi Changyin. The aura around him looked gloomy, so pressing. Like the coming of a demon. But manamaypossible!

Yi Changyin turned his head down, he could see a girl dressed in blue walking alone towards the inn. The girl was not suspicious, even being greeted by the senior guarding the front earlier. He probably has that aura. Even the senior who was still on guard was neither suspicious nor vigilant.

"Is there something?" Shen Lan asked as she looked down.

"Freak, she's just an ordinary female cultivator. It was impossible to have such a huge aura."

Shen Lan seemed to think for a moment. "Have it, you'd better go back to the spiritual room. rest well."

Yi Changyin nodded obediently. "Good."

While Shen Lan returned to the inn room, Yi Changyin walked into the spiritual dimension room. He could see Feng'er picking those precious fruits. Heilong was fishing and Xiaobai was meditating. Yi Changyin only smiled as the two of them greeted him.

In this spiritual dimension space will never be dark, forever bright. It's not an illusion either, and it's all real. But when it's time to fall asleep, humans or whatever lives there will feel sleepy.

Yi Changyin walked over with his sleepy face. After being hit by the cold night winds, he felt miserable. Yi Changyin was able to see Xuan Chen who was still fast asleep there. It seemed like he had just finished cultivating, his aura felt different. The man had already risen to level seven, definitely his aura looked golden and elegant.

It was impossible to sleep alone there with a human form. Yi Changyin quickly changed his form into a fox. He immediately slept with Xuan Chen's hand made into a cushion. Very comfortable, he also slept. Unknowingly, Xuan Chen hugged the petite hairy and nine-tailed body. Its thick and soft fur, delivers its own comfort to it.

.......

The sun is back to bring warmth after the cold of the night. Prospective students of the academy with his spirit went to the designated hall. Two of Yi's sisters, Xuan Chen and Shen Lan went hand in hand. They are an inseparable group.

These prospective students were numerous. Even meet the small streets of the village foot of the mountain even though it is a bit tenuous. There are individuals, two people and a group. Unfortunately, most of them have to go home tomorrow with the news of failure.

As he leisurely walked while looking around, it was suddenly just that the dappled grandmother that Xuan Chen had been afraid of had recently confronted them. Who else if not Wei Qiao. Still with her clothes full of golden pearls and thick makeup. Her face is beautiful, but most are not natural or wear makeup.

When he saw Yi Changyin's naturally beautiful face and potluck jewelry, he snorted. So envious, why could anyone else be so beautiful even without expensive clothes and jewelry?

"What's the need Miss Wei?" Shen Lan's question sounded a little mocking. Even Yi Xuemei was smiling at her sideways, making the girl slightly pursed her lips with a hostile face.

"That's right, why is the noble lady stopping us mediocre? Do you want to blackmail us?"

Wei Qiao's face looked displeased. "Look at how disrespectful the villagers are. I came to greet you guys, really have no ethics. Is this your attitude as a prospective student of Tianjin academy?" Said scornful.

Everyone just shrugged their shoulders. While Yi Xuemei was smiling obliquely as she provided both of her hands. "Didn't you also come just to greet my sister-in-law? Is that being polite to me and Mr. Shen who is older than you.

Everyone was shocked especially Xuan Chen. It could be that the girl had clearly mentioned it indirectly. Yes, regarding that Xuan Chen would marry Yi Changyin one day.

"Sister, this.."

"The plan is that after graduating from Tianjin Academy, they will get married. Take it easy, I'll invite you." Added Yi Xuemei who made Wei Qiao heat up even more, she had managed to pump it up.

"What's the point of me lying?"

As Yi Xuemei spoke, Xuan Chen caught another move behind. He remembered who the man who was about to head towards him was. Yes him! He was the one who stared and touched Yi Changyin at will. Although he could not reveal, it was obvious that Xuan Chen's heart felt jealous.

In a hurry, he said goodbye. "I don't have much time. I gotta go.." He said while pulling Yi Changyin away from there, without caring about everyone.

"Eyeh! Mr. Ji.." Call the neglected Wei Qiao.

Yi Xuemei smiled, she felt even more pleased. "Miss Wei do you know, they can't wait to do something under the tree. You can't prevent them. Or you'll get the stone."

"You?!

"Shen Lan, let's go!" Said Yi Xuemei while rushing away, not caring about the girl with soaring anger. Shen Lan gave a slanted smile before she finally left.

"You people!! YOU POOR PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ETHICS!!"

The shout was so loud, it deafened the ears of the servant beside him. It even invited many eyes to look at him, with a mocking look. After all Wei Qiao was quite famous, but they now saw the downside.

"Miss.don't invite the attention of many." The waiter gave the advice carefully.

Wei Qiao stomped his feet in annoyance. Perhaps if it was a little stronger, the dirt road would tremble. Her face was flushed with embarrassment like a boiled crab, not even caring about her reputation as a young miss from an unusual family.

.......

.......

.......

The hall at the foot of the mountain was already crowded with prospective disciples from various regions. The number is quite a lot, but not up to the number one hundred. They are provided with a seat with an increased arranged position, left right. In the middle there is a large enough circle, in the limit of spiritual protectors so as not to harm anyone when there is competition.

In the main part, several teachers and elders had already gathered with seats according to their levels. Most of the teachers had cultivation levels from level five to star level crystals. They wear equally flat clothes, plain white, giving the impression of being majestic and holy.

Even Yi Changyin was able to see more special ones there. There are elders who have already reached the early stage Gods! He was not young, his beard was waist-length and his hair was white. Wearing all-white clothes with domineering aura without stressing anyone. I don't know how many hundred years he was.

After listening to the stale bases for quite a long time, Yi Changyin finally knew a lot about the academy in this mortal realm. The rules here were obviously very unsuitable for noble misses and young masters like Wei Qiao. Because of using an older respect system, do not look at the degree or family background. If it was a lifetime, then it could be seen from its cultivation level.

The lessons here are only five, but they all have to be completed and mastered for three years. Each lesson has two teachers of course, male and female. Their ages were no less than thirty to forty years old. If the elders, of course more than fifty years old. Usually the teachers here were mostly born from superior disciples who had studied at Tianjin academy.

Beladiri is the most important thing here. It consists of weapons science and deep energy, each taught twice in seven days. The science taught will be very rare and different from other academies, therefore this academy became the most popular even though closed.

Students will be taught the use of every weapon in the world. Until perhaps mastering one is even better entirely. While for the inner power is learning to control the respective elements and the science of spiritual energy.

The third most important thing is formation. Then Alchemist science and lastly literature. In addition to martial arts and Alchemist science, Tianjin academy also teaches art.

Whether you master it or not, all students must learn. In order to make them graduate as a superior seed of human development. Even if they couldn't, the teachers wouldn't force it excessively. They will be taught very well.

The competition began, the students must have their own willingness to move forward. They would fight spirit beasts that were equivalent to his cultivation level. Then lastly they will fight monsters from the afterlife, and must be helped by each animal contract them. If it were alone, no one would be able to resist it.

The martial masters and elders judged the candidates from his shrewdness to play the sword, must win as well of course. In view of his faces, the teacher and elders here were not arrogant and arrogant. They had very dignified and friendly faces, would definitely play fair.

A prospective male student who first volunteered. His cultivation was at level seven gold, the aura he exuded was elegant gold. Just like Xuan Chen. The weapon he used was a whip. Exactly with the stealth lash, made Yi Changyin want to laugh from nostalgia. He recalled the events in the great palace of the Xuan empire.

The spirit beasts that were being expelled were not very strong. If for the golden level, it would fight spirit beasts with hermitages for nine hundred more years. It must have been very powerful although it was not comparable to that of a crystal that had to fight a spirit beast with a thousand-year hermitage.

The fight was so fierce, the whips kept drifting at the strange-shaped spirit beast. Everyone looked at him seriously. With the exception of Wei Qiao who kept glancing at Xuan Chen who was opposite him. Sometimes he felt furious when he saw Yi Changyin clinging to the man.

Yi Changyin who was aware of Wei Qiao's gaze, only smiled pettyly. He increasingly became the glue that stuck to Xuan Chen's body. Even the man didn't bother about it. Instead he was slightly flushed even though he was held.

The gazes the two girls met, Yi Changyin smiled at Wei Qiao. That smile was like a mockery to him. So he just snorted and turned his face away.

Suddenly a girl dressed in light blue came towards Yi Changyin. Coincidentally beside the girl was an empty chair. Yi Changyin who was aware of his presence just stared in surprise. It seems he recognized the woman. She was the girl he had seen last night, along with that strange aura coming. Surprisingly, the girl's demeanor was very hidden.

But unless the demon race saw it, they would instantly recognize and bow respectfully. He is Aoyi Jinqi! What's he here for? Ah maybe, he came for Yi Changyin. Recalling his promise to the demon lord, Zhang Bixuan was to protect the girl whom Bai Suyue thought was reincarnating from the Gaoqing Dijun people.

"Miss, may I sit next to you." He said kindly.

Yi Changyin smiled, "of course."

Aoyi Jinqi sat down gracefully. She did not look like the Demon Queen when she was in that hateful realm. Even his smile was not as cold and haughty as them.

Yi Changyin continued to watch the woman from the side. I don't know why he feels so familiar. But he had no idea who the shadow of his mind meant. It was as if the woman was someone who had been present in her past life.

Suddenly Aoyi Jinqi turned her head, Yi Changyin flinched and immediately turned her gaze away. He must be very embarrassed!

Aoyi Jinqi was still smiling. "Miss, looks like we're a good fit. May I meet?" Her question made Yi Changyin turn back to her, surprised. Fits here is suitable for friends? Certainly is. Even Xuan Chen and the others were shocked to hear the girl volunteering to get acquainted.

Without waiting for Yi Changyin who was still struggling with her chaotic thoughts due to feeling familiar, Aoyi Jinqi pulled the girl's hand to shake hands. He smiled kindly, "i'm Xiang Jinqi, may I know your name?"

Yi Changyin smiled awkwardly, he also started introducing everything. It doesn't hurt to be friends, does it? "I'm Yi Changyin. This is my friend, Ji Xuan Chen, this one is my older brother, Yi Xuemei. And the one on the other end is our friend too, Shen Lanxiu."

Yi Changyin introduced them under a pseudonym..Of course Aoyi Jinqi knew that. Even he could see the nine tails on the bodies of Yi Changyin and Yi Xuemei. Then a shadow of a blue rose on Shen Lan's back.

After a few words of their pleasantries, Yi Changyin was able to instantly get familiar. He chatted warmly with Aoyi Jinqi, even forgetting about Xuan Chen and the match there. Although Yi Changyin's heart was still uncomfortable when he saw the pair of black pearls, he still acted ordinary.

The woman, as if there were many mysteries she had hidden. Once again, Yi Changyin felt familiar!
