Chapter 1694: Chapter 1690: The Enraged Tea Egg (Part 1)
In his previous life, Xue An wasn’t just an Immortal Venerable in cultivation level, he also gained a batch of like-minded good friends.
Among them, the best relationships were with Huyue, Ye Hanshang, and Zhuge Cang, among others.
However, Zhuge Cang and Huyue were acquainted even earlier.
In fact, not only with Huyue, Zhuge Cang also had very good relations with several Great Elders of the Qingqiu Fox Country.
According to Huyue, that old bull-nosed Taoist would often come to Qingqiu Fox Country to eat and drink as a freeloader, which was really annoying.
But because of this, Hu Ying got to know Zhuge Cang from a very young age.
At the time, Hu Ying, with just newly awakened intelligence, rarely saw outsiders in the Qingqiu Fox Country, so every time Zhuge Cang visited, she would pester him to hear stories of the outside world.
Zhuge Cang was quite fond of this little fox who often followed him around, so he frequently brought her little trinkets from the outside world.
But later, as Hu Ying gradually grew up, her personality became more mischievous, especially after meeting Xue An, when Hu Ying often used playful methods to tease Zhuge Cang.
Zhuge Cang, of course, didn’t mind, thinking it was just a child’s innocent playfulness.
Until one time, Zhuge Cang was drinking with the Great Elder of Qingqiu Fox Country, and ended up completely drunk.
It was a normally acceptable occurrence.
But unexpectedly, Hu Ying managed to find a razor made of Fine Gold somewhere.
Such an item is usually used in the Buddhist Sect to shave the heads of Great Demons who convert, renowned for its sharpness.
No matter how tough the hair, it could scrape it clean.
Hu Ying had always been very interested in the small bun behind Zhuge Cang’s head, but Zhuge Cang wouldn’t allow her to touch it.
Therefore, in a fit of pique, Hu Ying scraped Zhuge Cang’s hair completely clean.
Even his prideful beard was left without a trace.
Throughout the process, Zhuge Cang, being dead drunk, didn’t perceive anything at all.
Until the next morning, when Zhuge Cang gradually awoke and sensed something amiss.
Why does the top of my head suddenly feel so chilly?
Upon touching it with his hand, Zhuge Cang realized his head was remarkably smooth.
Zhuge Cang was immediately jolted awake and leapt up from bed, rushing over to the mirror where he was nearly infuriated to death.
Because his prideful hair and beard were all "gone without a trace".
Only a round, shiny bald head remained, brightly reflecting more light in the room than before.
It must be said, Hu Ying’s craftsmanship was quite good, and worried that Zhuge Cang’s head might not be shiny enough after shaving, she even applied walnut oil to polish it, hence the current appearance.
At that moment, Zhuge Cang was absolutely burning with rage, screaming and rushing out to confront the Qingqiu Fox Country about it.
The several Great Elders of Qingqiu Fox Country rushed over upon hearing the news and... burst into laughter on the spot.
Because normally, Zhuge Cang looked down upon Monks a lot, frequently mocking them, thinking their bald heads were simply too ugly.
Who knew he’d turn bald so suddenly himself.
Seeing the crowd laughing so hard they were clutching their sides, Zhuge Cang was infuriated and almost dropped dead from anger, roaring for an explanation from Qingqiu Fox Country as to why his hair vanished overnight while he slept.
The Great Elders of Qingqiu Fox Country knew laughing like this was most disrespectful, but they couldn’t help it; it was just too funny!
Especially when Zhuge Cang was shouting, wisps of smoke were rising from his gleaming bald head, truly resembling an enraged tea egg.
Just as Zhuge Cang was about to sever ties with Qingqiu Fox Country on the spot, Hu Ying, knowing she was at fault, timidly stepped forward and admitted she did it.
At this, Zhuge Cang could only swallow down all those harsh words he was about to say.
No way, could he, as the Multiverse’s foremost divine seer, possibly argue with a small, immature fox?
So, he had no choice but to look at Hu Ying with frustration, ultimately stomping his foot with a sigh.
"You child... sigh! You shave my head, fine, but you even shaved off my eyebrows, what’s up with that? How am I supposed to face people now?"
At the time, Hu Ying cheerfully pulled out a wig from behind.
"Bull-nosed Grandpa, I’ve already thought it through, with no hair, you can wear a wig! As for the eyebrows, should I draw two for you?"
Zhuge Cang was practically on the verge of tears just then but couldn’t act out, instead bitterly smiling and shaking his head, hurriedly leaving the Qingqiu Fox Country.
No choice!
At the time, more and more fox demons came to watch the excitement, each laughing so much it hurt.
Zhuge Cang could only leave the Qingqiu Fox Country in humiliation and rage, then sought an uninhabited world to dwell in for over a year until his hair grew back, before daring to show himself again.
But ever since then, Zhuge Cang kept a respectful distance from the mischievous Hu Ying.
Whenever he heard she appeared, Zhuge Cang would hide far away.
Who would have thought he’d run into her again here?
This is why Zhuge Cang reacted so strongly upon seeing Hu Ying just now.
No choice, he had already developed a psychological shadow.
Hu Ying just smiled and said, "Bull-nosed Grandpa, I notice your hair seems to have thinned quite a bit again, I’ve heard a folk remedy that says if you shave your hair clean, it’ll grow back thicker next time! Should we... try it again?"
Zhuge Cang shook his head like a fan, "Forget it, forget it, let it fall naturally!"
Hu Ying found it amusing but also felt somewhat apologetic inside.
She indeed was exceedingly naughty as a child and did many laughably absurd things.
But now she’s grown up and certainly wouldn’t do such things anymore.
Saying it now was just to tease Zhuge Cang a little.
She didn’t expect Zhuge Cang’s reaction to be so strong, it seems she really was a bit excessive back then.
At this, Xue An also couldn’t suppress his laughter, but seeing Zhuge Cang’s constipation-like expression, he couldn’t help but intervene, "Alright Ying’er, stop messing around! No matter what, he’s your elder, it’s not right to repeatedly tease him!"
These words sounded nice, but Zhuge Cang felt no gratitude at all because Xue An was the one laughing heartily the entire time.
At this moment, Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, those two little girls, scurried up to Zhuge Cang and, tilting their small heads curiously, asked, "Old grandpa, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Yeah! Why does your face look so bad? Are you going to die?" Nian Nian added with piercing innocence.
Zhuge Cang: "... ."
But facing this pair of enchanting little girls who seemed to have stepped out of a painting, Zhuge Cang couldn’t muster any anger at all.
Even though he’s the Multiverse’s foremost divine seer, at his age, seeing these adorable children fills his heart unconsciously with affection.
Moreover, these two little girls are the daughters of his close friends.
