Chapter 24: Top Quality Equipment

  After resolving the matter of Wan Guifei, Fei Dian suddenly remembered the insect eggs that Ying Wuzong had given him to eat. He could only continue reading the medical book he hadn't finished earlier, but the night's busy work made his eyelids so heavy they couldn't be lifted. Finally, he couldn't hold on and fell asleep with his head on the table.

  A cool, cool breeze blew in from the window that hadn't been closed properly after the storm, and the intricately carved window sash creaked back and forth with a soft "creak-creak" sound.

  His breathing was even and smooth, his long eyelashes trembling slightly with each breath, the candle beside him had burned to its last section.

  At this moment, a pair of slender and gentle hands suddenly stretched out from the dark, slowly stroking Fei Dian's cheek.

  "Your skin is still so good~~~" The owner of that hand whispered in praise.

  "Keep your voice down," came a voice from the darkness, "what if you wake him up?"

  The person who was criticized felt a bit wronged, pouted, and reluctantly removed his hand from Fei Dian's face. He then took out an embroidered box from his bosom and placed it next to Fei Dian's computer bag.

  "Let's go," said another one.

  That man nodded and was about to turn around and leave when Fei Yan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the man's hand.

  That man was startled and hastily turned his head, exclaiming in surprise, "Fei Dian, how did you wake up?"

  Fei Yan didn't respond, looking at the two beautiful women in front of him. Earlier when he was sleeping, he had a strong feeling of familiarity, but when he opened his eyes, he found that he didn't know these two women at all.

  "Who are you?" Fei Dian asked coldly.

  "Hey, you heartless little scoundrel," the woman he was holding onto pulled her hand back and then pinched Fei Dian's face with both hands, "you've only been here a few days and you don't recognize your sisters anymore?"

  "..." Another woman sat down beside Fei Dian, resting her head on his leg, "Sister is so heartbroken, Fei Dian has forgotten us so quickly..."

  Fei Dian was somewhat at a loss, although he really didn't know these two beautiful women, but the smell on their bodies and the tone of their speech were really like his own long-lost two sisters...

  "My sister Yuan Yue and Guan Shi are not like you... " Fei Dian said weakly while pushing away the woman who was lying on his leg.

  "Stupid kid," Yan Yue rubbed Fei Dian's head, "Sisters are powerful fox demons, what can't be transformed? Although our original appearance is also very beautiful, but after all, we have come to the human world, naturally we should adapt to local customs and become the kind of appearance they like here."

  "......Are you really Big Sister and Second Sister?" Fei Dian asked with some doubt.

  "Hum, you heartless little brat," Guan Shi stomped his foot in anger, "doubt my sister again and I'll beat you up!"

  Fei Yan saw Guan Shi like this and finally believed that these two people were her own sisters.

  "Why can you use magic among humans but I cannot?" Flying Electric keenly sensed where the problem lay.

  "Because your sisters aren't here to fulfill a mission, they're just here to deliver something to you and then they'll be leaving," said Yan Yue, "right, my dear little sister?"

  "Yes," Guan Shi replied, picking up the brocade box on the table and handing it to Fei Dian, "This is something Grandma asked us to give you, saying it would help the little emperor fall in love with you quickly. Is that right, my dear sister?"

  "But..."

  "Not at all," Yanyue took over, not giving Feidian a chance to speak, "Feidian, you don't take your mission seriously at all. You're running around every day for the sake of that female ghost. Your sisters will think you've fallen in love with her, my mischievous little brother~"

  "But..."

  "Alright, alright," Guan Shi interrupted Fei Dian's words and rubbed her hair, "Put your mind on the Little Emperor, make him fall in love with you, so he'll give up everything for you. Then you can return to Yun You early. Your sisters all miss you and don't want you to suffer in the mortal world, living with these lowly creatures day and night."

  "I said..."

  "Yes, Fei Dian," Yanyue interrupted again, "Grandma gave you that book, didn't you lose it? That's Grandma's ***, after Grandpa passed away, Grandma relied on that book to survive for so long, you must take good care of that book~"

  "Hey, sister, look at us, Flying Electric, we didn't say a word, did we already understand?"

  The two sisters obviously didn't give him a chance to speak at all!

  "I think we're smart enough to understand," said Yan Yue, "Sister, let's take advantage of the little time we have left to go to the mortal world and play with a man."

  "Alright, my dear sister~~" Guan Shi stretched out his hand towards Yuan Yue.

  "We're off!" they chimed in unison, and then a puff of green smoke rose up, and the figures of Duan Yue and Guan Shi vanished before Fei Dian's eyes.

  "But... " Fei Dian reluctantly picked up the brocade box, "How is this thing used...?"

  It was already late at night, and Fei Yan had completely lost all sleepiness. He held the brocade box and turned it over to take a look. The entire box was in a gaudy red and yellow color, with two fish staring at each other on top, mandarin ducks entwined at the bottom, and four circles of intricate cloud patterns, locked with a small lock.

  Fei Yan looked at the small lock again and searched carefully, making sure his sisters hadn't left anything that could be inserted into it.

  Fei Dian put the box on the table, clasped his hands together and rested his head on them, muttering to himself, "What's inside this thing? How can I open it?"

  Fei Dian thought for half a day without any clue, "Is it related to the book Grandma gave me?"

  He suddenly thought of this and hurriedly got up from bed to fetch Grandma's book.

  The paper of this book presents a faint yellow color that has been distant for a long time, and although the edges are very worn out, they have been neatly arranged. On its cover, there are four big characters: Extreme Joy Treasure Mirror.

  It sounds like a cultivation manual or a treasure-hunting story.

  Fei Yan quietly turned to the first page, which read: Chapter 1, The Infatuated Son Enters the Realm of Cloudy Worries, The Little Fox Spirit First Falls into the Tribulation of Clouds and Rain.

  Look at the title of this chapter, it's about a lovesick person who enters the clouds and mist from his dreams and falls in love with a fox demon. Fei Dian scratched his head, why did Grandma make him read romance novels?

  Fei Dian thought for a moment, his grandmother had always been the person he respected the most, everything she did had her own reason, this book must have very profound inner meaning. Fei Dian felt that he must study this book carefully and learn from it how to seduce the Little Emperor and make him fall in love with himself.

  The electric continued to turn the page, and on the second page, there was only one picture. The picture depicted two... naked men, judging by their physical characteristics. One of the men was in a posture of animalistic mating, crouching down with his buttocks raised high, his head tilted back in a daze. Behind him, the other man grasped his erect lower body, seemingly about to insert it into the front man's anus.

  Fei Dian has been a diligent and studious good child since he was young, but in the fox tribe education he received from an early age to adulthood, no teacher has ever taught what this behavior expression means, and his grandmother has not taught him either, nor have his older brothers and sisters.

  But there is only this picture on this page, and no words at all.

  Fei Dian looked at the picture with a pure and innocent face, looking left and right but couldn't find any clues, then turned the book over and looked again, still didn't discover any secrets.

  "Alas, I'm still too inexperienced after all. No matter what, I just can't grasp Grandma's profound intentions." Fei Dian muttered to herself, propping up her chin with her hand. "However, that's only natural. If it were so simple for me to discover the way to entice the young emperor, then any ordinary fox spirit could do it too. Where would that leave my noble existence?"

  A strong desire for knowledge prompted Fei Dian to flip through a few more pages, only to find that every single one of them featured two naked men posing in various positions and engaging in activities whose meanings Fei Dian couldn't quite grasp.

  Finally, Fei Dian closed the book with a sigh of regret and lay weakly on the table, struggling inwardly for a while.

  Is this really the best we can do?

  No, the noble self cannot lose face to the equally noble Fox tribe. For the goddess Nuwa, for his grandmother and the honor of his clan, he cannot give up like this.

  So, I'll take these two completely unknown tools and reference books given by Grandma to find Yin Sheng. Maybe in front of him, I'll suddenly have a clue, and I can guess the meaning of this book and the use of this brocade box just like guessing who killed Wan Guifei.

  Fei Dian made up his mind, looked out at the still dark sky and decided to go find Yin Sheng right away.

  ……

  The air tonight is exceptionally good, probably due to the heavy rain this afternoon.

  Jing walked aimlessly in the palace with his head down, thinking of the past, thinking of Yin Sheng's mother, this kind-hearted woman, who had saved him from the mountain bandits on the way to marry into the royal family, and Jing had followed her out of gratitude.

  She was a woman unsuitable for the imperial palace, after giving birth to Yin Huan, she let go of worldly affairs and at that time, the immature Jing could only protect the six or seven year old Yin Chen and the newly born Yin Huan as they escaped from the palace. At that time, Jing felt that his life was now dedicated to Yin Chen. From then on, even if it meant being flayed alive, he would ensure that Yin Chen lived a carefree life.

  But later he finally understood that as a person born to be an emperor, being carefree was impossible. He could only retreat and do his best to keep him safe and happy.

  He saw more worry in one day than Yin Sheng had in years, and he felt uncomfortable until just now when he found Yin Huan, a smile finally reappeared on Yin Sheng's face.

  Jing felt useless himself, and yet he had allowed Yin Chen to have such feelings...

  He lightly kicked the grass still wet with rain, but felt a strange sensation.

  It seems like I kicked something.

  "Meow..." A faint mewling sound came from the thing that had been kicked, and Jing parted the grass to see a cat with all four limbs bound up, on its last breath.

  "Isn't this Your Majesty's cat......" He picked up the bedraggled cat, untied its rope.

  The little yellow chicken, who had just regained its freedom, trembled and shrank into Mirror's arms, looking up at him with a weak cry.

  "Who tied you up?" Jing was somewhat angry. "Don't be afraid, come back with me and have some hot soup, poor little thing."

  Jing said, carrying Little Yellow Chicken towards where she lived.
