Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 225 Slapping the Face of the Heartless Cultivator 3

Leng Yuexing knew his teeth were sharp, so he simply held Huangfu Ming's neck lightly without using any force.

Upon hearing Huangfu Ming's cold shout, Leng Yuexing unconsciously released her mouth.

Huangfu Ming lifted Leng Yuexing off his shoulder and gently pried open his mouth to check, "Are you hurt?"

Leng Yuexing was puzzled.

Huangfu Ming said in a low voice, "I have a protective technique. Luckily, I released my force just now, otherwise my instantly hardened skin might have hurt your teeth."

Leng Yuexing's eyes were filled with speechlessness. He licked his teeth with his tongue. After hearing what Huangfu Ming said, he really felt a little pain in his gums.

Huangfu Ming looked at Leng Yuexing's teeth with some heartache, and only felt relieved when he saw that there were no signs of injury.

He instructed the servant beside him to bring some easily digestible food, and then he picked up a comb and began to groom Leng Yuexing.

As he combed Leng Yuexing's soft, white fur, he asked her, "What's your name?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing gazed out the window. Huangfu Ming followed his gaze and looked out, where the bright moon hung in the sky and countless stars twinkled.

Huangfu Ming didn't quite understand Leng Yuexing's meaning, and he looked at Leng Yuexing with a puzzled expression.

Leng Yuexing simply stood up, grabbed the brush from Huangfu Ming's table, and drew a full moon and several stars on the rice paper.

Looking at the simple drawing on the Xuan paper, Huangfu Ming said, "Moon...stars?"

Leng Yuexing nodded emphatically.

Huangfu Ming chuckled and said, "Moon and Star."

Leng Yuexing stuck out her tongue and licked Huangfu Ming's cheek in response.

Huangfu Ming felt the softness on his cheek, chuckled, and gently stroked Leng Yuexing's soft fur. Then, under Leng Yuexing's puzzled gaze, he took his tongue into his mouth and gently bit it.

Leng Yuexing: "!"

He jumped back a step, his fur standing on end, his large, watery amber eyes filled with disbelief.

Huangfu Ming chuckled softly, "It's just a matter of reciprocity."

"Eek!" Leng Yuexing's beautiful eyes were full of accusation.

Huangfu Ming rested his chin on his hand. "We're partners now, isn't this normal?"

Leng Yuexing blinked her watery eyes. That's right... but he's in beast form now!

As the two were locked in a stalemate, a servant brought out a set of exquisite dishes to the table next to them.

"Your Majesty, these are easy-to-digest scallop and shredded chicken congee, braised bamboo shoots, and other side dishes," a servant said respectfully, bowing beside him.

"Step down," Huangfu Ming commanded after nodding.

All the servants withdrew, leaving only the man and the fox in the room.

Leng Yuexing nimbly jumped onto the dining table, hesitating whether to lower his head and lick the scallop and chicken porridge. He hadn't eaten in his beast form for a long time, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Huangfu Ming walked over, took the bowl and spoon in his hand, and prepared to feed Leng Yuexing by hand.

He scooped up a spoonful of scallop and shredded chicken congee and slowly brought it to Leng Yuexing's lips. Leng Yuexing hesitated for a long time, but finally stuck out her tongue and happily licked it.

The scallop and shredded chicken congee was sweet and delicious. After finishing one bowl, I wanted to eat more. However, Huangfu Ming picked Leng Yuexing up and said, "The doctor said that you have just recovered, so eat small meals frequently and don't eat too much at once."

Leng Yuexing nodded upon hearing this, her eyes still filled with longing for the scallop and shredded chicken congee.

Huangfu Ming chuckled and scooped up another spoonful, then put the chicken porridge into his mouth.

Under Leng Yuexing's questioning gaze, Huangfu Ming personally fed him the food.

Leng Yuexing's skin, hidden by hair, instantly turned crimson. He let out a soft moan, closed his eyes, and then accepted the last mouthful of sweet chicken porridge.

After the two finished eating, it was already late at night, and Leng Yuexing let out a big yawn.

After Huangfu Ming undressed, he gently pulled Leng Yuexing into his arms and laid her down on the bed.

Just as Leng Yuexing was about to close her eyes, Huangfu Ming pressed his lips to Leng Yuexing's forehead, and a stream of pure spiritual energy mixed with a trace of dragon energy was transferred into Leng Yuexing's body.

"I will transfer spiritual energy and essence to you so that you can quickly take human form," Huangfu Ming said in a low voice.

This pure spiritual energy was equivalent to what Leng Yuexing absorbed in a week, and Leng Yuexing was worried that this would affect Huangfu Ming's cultivation level.

Huangfu Ming sensed Leng Yuexing's worry through the partner contract. He gently kissed Leng Yuexing and said, "Don't worry, there are many spirit stones in the palace, enough for you to take human form."

Leng Yuexing was relieved to hear Huangfu Ming say that.

Huangfu Ming chuckled and prepared to continue transferring his vital energy to Leng Yuexing.

Leng Yuexing seemed to shyly cover her eyes with her front paws, curiously peeking at Huangfu Ming through the gaps in her claws.

Huangfu Ming chuckled softly as he watched, his eyes dark and unfathomable...

After absorbing enough essence, Leng Yuexing felt warm all over and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Huangfu Ming got up at dawn to prepare for court. Leng Yuexing was still fast asleep, lying on the bed like a tiny ball, looking exceptionally soft and adorable.

Huangfu Ming, who had intended to let Leng Yuexing sleep peacefully in bed, couldn't help but gently pick him up and take him to court.

Huangfu Ming was born to a concubine whom the late emperor disliked, and there were six princes before him.

However, after Huangfu Ming was born, all six previous princes died due to various unforeseen circumstances, leaving only him as the sole remaining prince.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that the deaths of the previous six princes were related to Huangfu Ming, everyone believes that Huangfu Ming was involved.

Because he was the only prince remaining, Huangfu Ming ascended the throne after the death of the previous emperor.

After that, he began to implement sweeping reforms to the government, and a series of policies and measures were quickly introduced.

He carried out a comprehensive overhaul of the bureaucratic system, purging some corrupt and incompetent officials and selecting a group of talented and honest individuals to serve the royal family.

While his methods weren't exactly cruel and inhumane, they were certainly ruthless, and the entire court practically became Huangfu's personal fiefdom.

All the court officials were used to Huangfu Ming's cold-bloodedness, but they never expected that one day they would see him holding a little white fox as he entered the court.

The courtiers exchanged glances, all completely baffled.

They went to court with trepidation, more vigilant than ever before, fearing they might make a mistake. But they never expected that His Majesty would be so easy to talk to today, almost gentle.

The ministers who thought of this word all trembled on the spot. They felt that the word "gentle" coming from His Majesty made them even more frightened.

Among them, when Zhao Wang Huangfu Yi saw the little white fox in Huangfu Ming's arms, he showed a strange expression.

He was afraid that Huangfu Ming would notice his unusual behavior, so after glancing at the little white fox again, he quickly lowered his head.

At this moment, King Zhao was filled with doubts. A month ago, his teacher brought back a demon core, saying that it was dug out from a white fox that had cultivated for a thousand years. In order to absorb the inner core, he went into seclusion, saying that it would take about half a year before he could come out of seclusion.

At this moment, Huangfu Ming is so concerned about a little white fox. Could this white fox be related to the white fox that his teacher mentioned?

King Zhao, Huangfu Yi, was lost in thought until a minister behind him gently nudged him, bringing him back to his senses.

"What is your opinion on this, Imperial Uncle?"

Huangfu Ming's voice rang in his ears. Huangfu Yi didn't know what Huangfu Ming was asking, so he could only say ambiguously, "Your Majesty's thoughts are the same."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Huang."

What can I do for you?

Huangfu Yi looked puzzled and glanced subtly at the ministers behind him.
