Chapter 697: Chapter 656: Go to Jiangnan (2)
"Safe travels, sir!"
Lin Xiaosu walked back to the backyard with measured steps, the Seventh Princess jumped up and hung onto his shoulder.
Hong’er and Qing’er bowed their heads directly, and several maids pruning flower branches in the backyard also hurriedly bowed their heads to work, trying not to steal glances.
"Seventh Princess, you..."
"Don’t call me Seventh Princess, if outsiders hear it, they’ll think you’ve abducted the Imperial Princess." The Seventh Princess whispered in his ear, which was probably the advantage of her always being close to Lin Xiaosu upon meeting him. When the two were together, they mostly spoke in hushed tones, so others couldn’t hear.
Lin Xiaosu thought her reasoning made some sense.
The title "Princess" was thrown around carelessly in this world, both races and the Imperial Family had princesses. Being a government official himself, calling someone who was always hanging onto him a princess could easily cause misunderstandings.
"Then what should I call you?"
"You can call me Fu Fu..."
"Fu Fu? Isn’t that a bit corny?"
"That really is my name, my elder sister is called Fufeng, and I’m called Fu Fu."
If the elder sister is called Fufeng, then she’s the concubine of the Seventh Prince.
Now Lin Xiaosu basically understood why this concubine insisted on visiting with the Seventh Prince, while also bringing a very obvious scrutinizing gaze when looking at him. This had a dual nature: on the one hand, she was examining a compatriot of her Prince; on the other, she was evaluating her future brother-in-law.
"Fu Fu? That’s actually your name, it feels so perfunctory..."
The Seventh Princess giggled and explained.
The main reason was that she had too many siblings, thirteen brothers and six sisters, the names like Fufeng, Fugyu, Futian, Fudi, Fudong, and Fuxi were all used up. When it was her turn to be born, her father mused aloud: "Fu... Fu Fu..."
He didn’t immediately come up with a suitable name, and the elder in charge of records already noted it down: "The clan leader names the Seventh Princess: Fu Fu."
The clan leader hesitated for a while, embarrassed to admit he had a mental block, clapped his head, and decided to go with it.
Thus, she was named Fu Fu.
"Alright, Fu Fu!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Tomorrow I’m heading to Jiangnan, you should..."
"I’m going to Jiangnan with you!"
Lin Xiaosu was slightly stunned, "Isn’t that inappropriate? I’m leading troops, bringing a wombat with me seems a bit unrealistic."
"No worries, I’ll disguise myself as a man and become your attendant student. In the day, I’ll make tea and pour water for you, and at night... at night... it’s up to what my Brother Su likes." Fu Fu’s cheeks turned red, her voice quivering.
This little vixen!
Oh well, going to Jiangnan is a tough journey, having a charming girl by his side would be quite delightful.
Lin Xiaosu nodded.
As he nodded, Fu Fu immediately sat on his thigh, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rubbed her pointed chin on his shoulder, "Hey, where’s your senior sister?"
"She went back!"
"Brother Su, did you ever do anything beastly with that senior sister?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"I kind of don’t believe it. I saw your senior sister looking at you very fondly."
"Is it as captivating as the way you look at me?"
"No, no one in the world loves my Brother Su more than I do!" Fu Fu’s little mouth gently moved closer, "Brother Su, shall we kiss?"
Lin Xiaosu glanced around, the girls were all busy working.
"Well, idle hands are the devil’s playthings..."
Savoring it slowly...
Fu Fu’s body softened inch by inch, while Lin Xiaosu was the opposite...
The day was short and time flew quickly in the tender embrace of Fu Fu.
The night was long, Fu Fu didn’t want to go next door, insisting on cuddling in his arms to sleep.
As she snuggled in, two little figures in Lin Xiaosu’s mind fiercely debated all night, one said: Damn the legend, her legendary ancestors haven’t evolved the Heavenly Fox physique in three thousand years, what’s the use of expecting anything from her as a five-tailed Spirit Fox? Just do what needs to be done. The other said: It’s easy to do it, but if the Tianhu Ancestor demands you return her palace sand tomorrow, do you have that defying skill?
And so it repeated until dawn...
When dawn broke, it was the day Lin Xiaosu set for going to Jiangnan.
Fu Fu wrapped her arms around his neck, and her lips came up to his: "Brother Su, from now on I’m the attendant student! We can’t be affectionate during the day."
After finishing, Fu Fu gently raised her wrist, and a bracelet emitted a mystical light.
Her figure changed into that of a green robed scholar.
To the naked eye, all traces of Fu Fu were gone.
This transformation technique was a different branch entirely. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a transformation technique, but rather an illusion technique.
"Fu Fu, this bracelet of yours is quite miraculous," Lin Xiaosu marveled.
Even though she transformed into a student, there was no need to change her name, as Fu Fu had a highly nonchalant nature and was unisex.
Fu Fu smiled lightly, "My grandmother left this to me, my mother wasn’t willing to give it to me back then, but I insisted. It has many marvelous uses, disguise technique being the most common, and with this method of disguise, even a Great Power of Tao might not see through it."
Is that right?
Lin Xiaosu activated his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye.
Upon activation, Lin Xiaosu was stunned.
He could see her true form.
Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye could perceive the world, which was normal for him, but previously, without a point of reference, he didn’t know how impressive it was; now he had a benchmark.
She said this transformation technique couldn’t be seen through by a Great Power of Tao.
But he could!
Does this mean the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye surpasses Great Power of Tao?
The skills acquired at Liu Lin Temple back in the day: Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, Human Tao Orchid Heart, are indeed high-end, appearing increasingly sophisticated.
And these two abilities are just two drops from the dew falling off thirteen leaves.
