Chapter 360: Chapter 77: Me and the Fox on the Deserted Island
The ocean.
Again, the ocean.
Long Long had no particular feelings for the ocean, because Luo Yan had spent too long in the East Sea of another world.
However, it was probably the first time the little fox had seen the sea, so much so that she was still excitedly running barefoot around the beach at dusk.
Long Long flew around the huge tree several times on his Flying Sword, thoroughly scouting the surrounding environment.
There were no noteworthy demonic beasts.
Indeed, other than this huge tree, there were no other demonic beasts on the island.
Strangely, from the branches to the top of the tree canopy, there were uniformly styled man-made buildings everywhere, clearly suggesting that a Sect Residence had once been here.
Or rather, it might have been the territory of a demonic beast clan.
Considering the ambiguous stance of the Golden Crow clan, he had roughly guessed the vague answer.
Loud exclamations from Long Hu came from below, and Long Long immediately descended with his Sword Light, only to see Long Hu caught off guard by the rising tide and knocked over, then being swept out to sea.
“Long Long, save me!” the little fox screamed.

Long Long leisurely controlled his Sword, observing Long Hu thrashing about in the sea as she sank down, and then quietly floating back up.
“Why aren’t you saving me!” Long Hu suddenly popped her head out of the water and shouted at Long Long in anger and grief.
She had just swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater, both bitter and salty.
“A cultivator who can still drown should consider giving up cultivating as soon as possible,” Long Long said with a smile.
“I don’t care!” Long Hu was complaining with an aggrieved look when suddenly her expression changed, and she said anxiously, “Long Long, there seems to be something tugging at my tail below!”
Long Long: ?
What kind of lewd sea creature is this? Damn it, only I am allowed to touch my little fox’s tail!
He hastily suppressed the Sword Light and moved closer to the sea surface, sweeping his Divine Sense beneath Long Hu into the water below.
But then Long Hu suddenly reached out, grabbed Long Long who was standing on the Flying Sword, and pulled him into the water as well.
Even as he plunged into the sea, Long Long didn’t realize that he had just been duped by the fox.
Still playing pranks, Long Hu coiled her tail around Long Long’s waist and dragged him down relentlessly, shouting:
“That’s for saying I’d drown! That’s for saying I’d drown…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt her tail suddenly loosen and grasp at nothing.
Long Long had already undone the Transformation Secret Technique reveal his True Body as a Water Viper, thin and long. With a deft flick of the tail, he escaped from Long Hu’s clutches.
Long Hu had not yet reacted when her waist was gripped by Long Long’s tail, and she was dragged into the sea.
After who knows how long, she finally emerged from the water, her expression sour as a bitter melon, and she spit out several mouthfuls of seawater.
“So only you have a tail?” Long Long surfaced beside her, head held high, flicking his forked tongue, and spoke proudly.
He was then immediately caught in the mouth by the irritated little fox and flung around.
The two of them frolicked in the sea for quite a while before it inadvertently turned into a fish-catching contest, seeing who could catch more fish.
Soon, two piles of fish appeared on the beach.
The sun had already set below the western horizon of the sea, and the daylight slowly extinguished, plunging the whole world into a faint hush.
Long Long started a bonfire on the beach and leisurely began to grill the fish.
The little fox, on the other hand, was planning to dive into the bushes to change out of her wet clothes.
“No peeking, okay?” She said earnestly.
“Of course not,” Long Long replied nonchalantly.
“You really mustn’t peek,” Long Hu emphasized again, “otherwise, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
“If you are so worried, I suggest you change into a fox before changing clothes,” Long Long suggested.
Long Hu thought carefully, and it made sense; after all, she wasn’t wearing clothes when transformed into a fox, and he had already seen everything…
Nonsense!
Can the fur of a fox be the same as the bare skin of a human?!
“Just don’t peek!” Long Hu threw down a final word and hurriedly dived into the bushes.
Long Long, utterly bored, was grilling fish without the slightest desire of peeking like in the past.
What a joke. A noble gentleman like myself, would I stoop to such sleazy and despicable acts?
He meticulously marinated the remaining ungrilled fish with spices, one after another.
Once again, a startled cry from the little fox came from the bushes, but this time Long Long didn’t rush over to check. He certainly wasn’t about to be fooled in the same place twice.
Hmm?
Wait, could it be real this time?
Long Long quickly scrambled up from the sand and drew his Dragon Chant Sword, dashing toward the bushes.
In the corner, Long Hu in her maiden form, was frantically covering her body, pointing at a caterpillar on the ground and screaming.
A caterpillar…
Long Long couldn’t help but laugh and cry; with a flick of his sword, he sent the caterpillar flying away, saying,
“Long Hu, are you okay?”
Before he could finish, an embarrassed and irritated Long Hu threw a twig that hit him in the face.
“Get lost! Get lost! Don’t look! You lecherous snake!”
So, I’m not a snake, I’m a dragon!
Biting back the urge to retort, Long Long also forgave her for being ungrateful and simply turned away coolly.
It wasn’t long before Long Hu, now changed into new clothes, shyly stepped out.
She was still maintaining her lovely maiden form but now wore a pale yellow dress and her hair was tied into two simple buns at the back of her head.
Long Long always felt that the hairstyle was designed to conveniently hide her animal ears inside the buns.
With her hands on her hips, Long Hu stared at him with a puffed-up anger, as if she was about to explode, but then her dainty nose twitched for a moment.
Um, it smells so good…
She ran over to the campfire, gazing at the fish roasting on sticks secured by stones, and kept asking,
“Hey, Long Long, is it ready? Can we eat now?”
“Not yet,” Long Long said leisurely, “unless you want to eat raw fish.”
Long Hu smacked her lips and sat down beside him, hugging her knees and resting her chin in the crook of her elbow, with the two buns on her head trembling slightly.
As Long Long added wood to the fire, he noticed from the corner of his eye the movement of the two buns.
She was indeed hiding her animal ears inside the bun hairstyles.
“Is it ready now?” Long Hu urged once again.
“Not yet,” Long Long pulled out a date, “if you’re hungry, eat this first.”
“What’s this?” Long Hu wiped it with her sleeve, took a bite, and exclaimed, “Ugh, it’s so sour!”
She spat out the half-eaten date in her mouth, examining it carefully in her palm:
“What kind of fruit is this, can you eat it?”
“Not sure,” Long Long watched her face intently, ensuring there were no signs of poisoning, then leisurely added, “It looks free of toxins, should be edible.”
The little fox expressionlessly squeezed her hand, crushing the date inside.
“Long Long,” she said with a sweet smile, “is the grilled fish almost ready?”
“Almost,” Long Long adjusted the stick with the fish on it, “just wait a little longer and it’ll be ready.”
“Then there’s no need to keep you around!” All of a sudden, Long Hu pounced from behind, hugging Long Long’s neck, attempting to bite his ear.
Long Long quickly turned his head in fright.
It seemed as if something soft and fragrant, and slightly warm had brushed against his lips.
Coming back to his senses, they were sitting by the campfire, carefully scraping off the burnt skin from the fish.
“The burnt parts are not tasty, I’ll take them off for you,” Long Long said.
“Okay,” Long Hu murmured softly.
Her chin was lowered modestly, her cheeks a shade of red, tinged with a certain youthful embarrassment.
Long Long’s heartbeat quickened slightly, but being no novice, his thoughts swiftly shifted and he suppressed all whimsical notions, simply focusing on removing all the burnt skin from Long Hu’s portion of the fish.
