Young Master, Come and Possess Me!   

Chapter 48: Someone saw her ears

---

"Hmm?" Who was she talking about?

"Your wife." Tang Cheng Cheng asked him with a knowing look in her eyes, "You are 1,480 years old, so you must have already been married with several wives, right?"

When Tang Cheng Cheng asked him that question, her heart suddenly squeezed so hard that she felt her body becoming stiff with an unknown tension. She just couldn’t understand why she was so bothered by this fact.

"Did you mean that I would get married every time the last one died over and over again?" Fox glared at her.

"Well, if you married an ordinary fox, their lifespan will not be as long either." She didn't know how long an ordinary fox lived anyway.

"Master has only ever had one wife." 

Lynx who was perching next to them felt incredibly left out by the conversation and she didn’t want to be a bystander so she interrupted them again. 

"She’s the only one."

"You don't need to yap so much." Fox shot his head towards Lynx and gave her a fierce look.

"Master became so powerful because of ZhuoJing[1]." Lynx continued to gossip and told Tang Cheng Cheng his past.

"ZhuoJing?" Tang Cheng Cheng widened her eyes at Lynx in surprise, "You mean that you're not a woman?"

"I'm a woman!" Lynx scratched her head because she didn't understand what Tang Cheng Cheng was hinting at when she acted like this.

"But you just said that you have a ZhuoJing. Did young master end up liking your wife instead?" 

Dear lord, why is the demon world so chaotic!

"Stop your nonsense!" Fox’s hands itched to flatten both of them now.

He first corrected Lynx's wording, "You only call someone ZhuoJing if she’s your own wife, and the correct term to call my wife is Madam."

"Oh." Lynx rubbed the top of her aching head.

"And what are you thinking about inside that head of yours?" Fox glared at Tang Cheng Cheng.

"I thought that you could share your wife between masters and servants in the demon world... aiyo!" 

She shuddered violently when she thought of it again.

"Your skin must be itching badly enough." Fox's fists were definitely itching to land a punch.

"Then why do you want to be powerful for your wife?" Tang Cheng Cheng was really curious about what Lynx had told her.

"It’s none of your business!" 

He didn't want to mention his past at all, let alone blurt it all out in front of a human female.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it then!" Petty monster!

Suddenly, a pale golden light glowed from the middle of Jackal's palm which then condensed to become a mass of flames. His eyes blazed like balls of fire as they widened eerily, causing that golden flame in his hands to shoot out and disperse all around him.

Xuu Xuu Xuu—

Like a smoky mist, it spread out until it became a ray of fine golden light and blanketed the whole residence in it’s glorious cast.

"Wow—" 

Tang Cheng Cheng looked at his performance with fascination glimmering in her excited gaze. She clapped her hands happily while opening her mouth wide in awe and ended up looking like a person who went dumb by the enchantment.

Li Hai Jiao's beautiful face had always been stunning like an angel, only she was capable of making his appearance look like a fool.

Fox sighed in his disappointment.

"It's so beautiful—" 

Tang Cheng Cheng lowered her head and said that to Lynx.

That feminine lilt made Fox roll his eyes in annoyance.

"Get in here."

Fox grabbed Tang Cheng Cheng's arm and stepped into the house.

"Let me remind you that you are a man now! You have to act like a man. You are not allowed to shake your hips when you walk, you are not allowed to raise your pitch at the very end of your speech, and that hand… you are not allowed to raise your pinky finger."

"I didn't do all that."

She was drinking a cup of tea and Tang Cheng Cheng immediately put away her little finger like a guilty thief.

"You still dare to deny it?!" Fox mimicked the way she always spoke, "I didn't do it... Did you hear what you just sounded like?"

"Maybe it’s a little bit like that." After speaking, Tang Cheng Cheng couldn't help but burst out giggling at the way he was acting.

That darn way the laughter was displayed on her face looked exactly like how a coquettish maiden would react.

Fox really wanted to bang her to death with his head... No, why would he endanger himself when he was supposed to hit her to death? If someone had to die, Tang Cheng Cheng should be the first one pushed to the forefront of the list of people who should die!

"You better speak in a serious manner from now on! Don't you even want to guard the image of Li Hai Jiao in public? You better act like a young master by hook or by crook."

"Oh."

"Now practice walking for me."

"Eh, do I really need to practice walking?" Tang Cheng Cheng stared at him in surprise .

"Walk!" Fox ordered her sternly.

"Alright."

Tang Cheng Cheng was about to get up to practice walking when she saw Qi'er walking into the courtyard.

"Didn't you say that no one can enter the barrier now?" She asked in surprise. "Could it be that Qi'er is a monster who had practiced cultivating her powers for more than 500 years?"

This was really too appalling to think of!

"It's the evil spirits or beings with mana that can't get in!"

Dear father in heaven, should he just master the spell of silence so that he could just seal this woman's mouth.

"I thought even humans wouldn’t be able to get in." Tang Cheng Cheng was extremely apologetic by her outburst.

If that was the case, it wouldn't matter if she drinks her tea with her pinky finger up in the air when she was inside the house!

Qi Er walked in with a bag in her hand and looked a little unhappy when she saw that everyone was seated around the table.

"Tang Cheng Cheng, as a maid, how dare you sit at the same table with the young master?"

Hearing Qi Er's stern question, Tang Cheng Cheng automatically stood up, because she had forgotten that she was "Li Hai Jiao" now.

Fox just drank his tea and didn’t bother to heed what Qi Er had just reprimanded him for.

"Tang Cheng Cheng!"

"Yes." Tang Cheng Cheng quickly responded to her name anxiously.

"Young master?" Qi Er was puzzled as to why when she called Tang Cheng Cheng's name, the young master had responded to that name instead.

"Err... oh," Tang Cheng Cheng hurriedly sat back down again when she finally remembered her current appearance. "It's me, I was the one who let her sit here."

She was afraid that if Qi'er just simply blamed Fox for something so minor, it would make Fox really unhappy later on and end up landing all of them in hot water.

"Tsk!" Qi Er glared at Fox who had no idea how to spell the word "etiquette" in this context.

Fox could feel the heated gaze of her glaring eyes, so he glared back because he did not want to be outdone by an insignificant maid.

Normally, ordinary people would be so frightened by Fox's glare that their hands and feet would go weak then they would scramble away with pee dripping down their thighs. Yet when Qi Er saw him glaring back at her, her gaze sharpened like a sword instead. She looked like she wanted to use the sharp arrows in her gaze to pierce Fox’s (Tang Cheng Cheng’s appearance) heart with them.

Hmmph! How dare this maiden actually ignored the fierce fires in his eyes... No, he had forgotten that he was now just a mortal harmless maiden who couldn't be describe further than the word “ordinary”. Even if these eyes fell to the ground after glaring at her so intensely, it would not hold even one ounce of threatening vibe.

This feeling of suffocation...

When will the full moon be arriving?!

"Maiden Qi Er, what's the matter with you?" Tang Cheng Cheng hurriedly intercepted between their battle of gazes.

That overly gentle and polite tone made Fox roll his eyes in annoyance.

"Yesterday, your honorable uncle sent some nutritious bird's nests for Madam to consume, so Madam sent this servant to deliver this to the young master." 

Qi Er presented the precious bird's nest politely with both hands.

"This is for Madam to drink, how can you just give this to me?!" Tang Cheng Cheng pushed back the item immediately.

"Madam still has a lot back at her own residence, so please don’t worry, young master." 

Qi Er smiled sweetly as she pushed back the case to her, 

"Since young master had returned safely back to the manor, Madam's illness has mostly been cured. Young master must take care of your body well so that Madam will be at ease."

"Then I will accept it."

Not only had Tang Cheng Cheng never eaten bird's nest in her whole life, she didn't even know what bird's nests actually looked like.

She had heard that this delicacy was sweet and delicious and it tasted just like honey. Was that rumor actually true?

"We also want to drink it, we also want to drink it, meow." 

Lynx leaned over and peeked at the case with interest.

"Ughh!" 

Qi Er had put all her attention on both Tang Cheng Cheng and Fox just now so she had only just realized that there was another girl in the room, and her head... were those ears on her head?!

"You...you you you you..." Qi'er's hand trembled as she pointed at Lynx.

Tang Cheng Cheng turned her head in confusion, and her expression changed into utter horror when she finally realized what Qi Er had meant when she saw the ears on Lynx's head that couldn't be changed due to her lack of skill.
