This Is My Planet - Chapter 141 - Chapter 141 – Resonance
On the surface, this hexagram seems to symbolize unity and magnanimity. Given the context of the Fox King wanting to tear apart the heavens and act independently, this reading is actually quite fitting and accurately reflects his own choice.
But it’s not about that, it’s about the mother-daughter matter with the little fox, so this hexagram seems inexplicable.
Xia Guixuan could only force himself to say, “Comparison here refers to kinship, it’s more or less about harmony with family members.”
Yin Xiaoru was delighted and hugged him, giving him a peck on the cheek, “I understand.”
“What do you understand?” Xia Guixuan glanced at her sideways, “Have you decided on whether or not to take responsibility?”
“Not yet,” Yin Xiaoru replied with full confidence. “Why should I decide now? Maybe it’ll all be resolved soon, and I can just be a little princess!”
“…,” Xia Guixuan rubbed his forehead, “Keep dreaming. Until now, you don’t even know the other party’s intentions, and yet you’re imagining maternal love and filial piety… Honestly, I don’t even want to initiate this plan for the time being. Priestess Shang will try to communicate with the Fox King’s remnant soul first, and then we’ll discuss it.”
Shang Zhaoye was almost speechless at this point, not knowing what to say.
But then again, Yin Xiaoru’s performance… made her feel a bit soft.
Before meeting the other person, she was just a “conscious vessel,” a “dream memory,” something to be erased without a second thought.
But after meeting her, seeing such pure and innocent sincerity, any cultivator of the Dao would find it hard to bear, and develop a fondness.
Whether it was the Fox King herself or Shang Zhaoye, they were not practitioners of the demonic path.
It’s truly odd—how could Yin Xiaoru, raised in the melting pot of human society, maintain such purity? And she’s supposed to be a “capitalist” too!
Emmmm… this one couldn’t reach the level of a capitalist, at most just a happy little bourgeois, still struggling with overtime. If she really became the Fox King, wouldn’t she regress into an old feudal monarch? Even more backwards?
Shang Zhaoye’s mind wandered through these anthropological concepts, almost making herself laugh. She finally said, “I’ll head back first and try to communicate with the former king’s soul… Then I’ll report to the Divine Creator.”
Xia Guixuan waved his hand, “Go ahead.”
Shang Zhaoye didn’t say much more, turning into light and shooting into the dark night, disappearing like a meteor.
Xia Guixuan watched her go, sighing heavily.
Yin Xiaoru smiled apologetically beside him, “This sighing… did I cause you a lot of trouble…”
Xia Guixuan said sternly, “What do you think?”
“Just by hearing what you said, I already feel like it’s going to be very troublesome, but…” Yin Xiaoru bit her lip, “I didn’t tell her everything just now… Actually, I…”
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “I also wish I had a mother.”
Xia Guixuan could understand.
It wasn’t clear what led Yin Xiaoru to become a young lady of the Yin family, but it was obvious she had been orphaned from a young age, bullied, and ostracized by her family. Even when Xia Guixuan first emerged from his seclusion, she was still being harassed by her family.
Her deepest desire, which she had kept hidden in her heart, was to find her true family… When she was cultivating her “Qin Xin heart,” her clarity of mind was directed toward that very desire.
The little fox who longed for her mother, upon learning that her “mother” was still alive, even if she wasn’t really her mother, might still consider it true. Xia Guixuan had initially thought of it as an excuse to placate her, but what did it matter if she accepted it?
Even if it’s deception, the reasoning behind it is solid… So as long as she is willing to consider her as a mother, then she is a mother.
This silly girl has always been very good at finding her own little happiness.
Yin Xiaoru knew that Xia Guixuan understood her meaning, and asked somewhat embarrassedly, “I’ve caused you so much trouble… How about I treat you to something nice?”
Xia Guixuan remained expressionless, “Until the matter is resolved, it’s just a live porn. Besides, I don’t want you to use this kind of thing as a trade-off. Do you think that’s what I want from you?”
“Don’t you? It’s very sweet…”
“…”
Yin Xiaoru stopped acting cute, and asked cautiously, “Is there anything I can do to help?”
“The difficulty isn’t high, but it’s somewhat tedious. We’ll need to track down some troublesome items. But now, Gongsun Jiu has become the highest authority among humans, and Priestess Shang rules over the divine descendants, so it’s relatively easy to find some things. But it will take time; this might be a long and slow process… Don’t feel burdened by it. This proposal was something I came up with on my own, so you could say I just want to do it—it’s not necessarily to help you.”
Yin Xiaoru filtered out most of what he said and was deeply moved. “Sindy… you’re so good to me…”
“…I said it’s something I want to do because I have my own selfish reasons too.”
“Huh?”
“If I were to simply treat them as enemies, deal with them, or even kill them…” Xia Guixuan clasped his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, “You’d lose your mother, and I’d lose my horse.”
Yin Xiaoru: “???”
Xia Guixuan turned his head, his eyes showing a hint of fox-like cunning, “You’ve corrupted me, little fox.”
“Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. You being attracted to women is my doing too.” Yin Xiaoru didn’t bother arguing about what he meant; instead, she giggled and leaned closer. “Hey, are you sure you don’t want to? She said the resonance isn’t constant; it only triggers with intense thoughts or stimulation, right?”
“It could have been constant originally because you had already initiated the awakening process, but I suppressed it…”
“Come on, I mean now.”
“Now, indeed, it would take a strong intention or stimulation to trigger it…”
Before he could finish, Yin Xiaoru was already on her tiptoes, fiercely pressing her lips against his.
Xia Guixuan closed his mouth.
“At the very least, just wanting to kiss you won’t be seen as lewd.” Yin Xiaoru mumbled vaguely, “I’m addicted to it…”
Xia Guixuan was getting a bit addicted too.
It was like a taut string that she kept pulling on, day after day, until it snapped.
And once it snapped, there was a sense of release, a guilty pleasure, and an underlying unease.
This feeling of indulgence and guilt made him want to push further, to see what would happen if he crossed the line completely.
Earlier, he almost crossed that line—her soft and tender demeanor had truly struck a chord. If he hadn’t been worried that severing the soul resonance might cause harm, he might have isolated it and then… foxes would mate.
That complete, utter descent…
But he still retained some reason, after all. He wasn’t ruled by his lower half, so he halted his actions, called Shang Zhaoye over, and tried to resolve things first.
Now that it seemed the decision was settled, he relaxed a little… If the little fox was so clingy, was there still a need to avoid her, to be stern, to pretend it would affect cultivation?
He had kissed her, touched her, used his fingers—there was no issue with his cultivation!
Yin Xiaoru was enjoying the kiss when she realized something was wrong… The passive Sindy was starting to act up.
His breathing grew heavier, and then he began to show off his skills.
“Hey, no…” The little fox couldn’t even finish saying “no” before she was already being held down.
… She couldn’t say anything, becoming limp as she leaned against the balcony, and as Xia Guixuan leaned in to kiss her, she bent back like a willow, yielding to him.
From a sweet, gentle kiss on tiptoe, it quickly escalated under his domineering control into something more intense and teasing.
Indeed, he was an annoying man who wouldn’t let others have the upper hand, always taking the initiative, from body to heart.
For the first time, the little fox wanted to stop him, realizing that he might have forgotten about the resonance being like a live porn. But she hadn’t forgotten! She just wanted to kiss him—how did it turn into this… But her small hands, pushing against his chest, couldn’t move him at all. The pressure from him was like a mountain, conquering and leaving her helpless.
Her little struggles and wriggles seemed more like she was giving in…
Then… his hand…
Mmph…
The little fox shivered.
Finally understanding why Sister Yan stuttered when she spoke that day… how could she not stutter?
Far away, tens of thousands of miles in the sky, a meteor suddenly jerked violently mid-air, the streak of light transforming into a centaur that screeched to a halt.
Shang Zhaoye’s chest heaved violently, her cheeks flushed to the roots of her ears.
“Foolish, king… enchantress, concubine…” Shang Zhaoye ground her teeth, mumbling the words without knowing who each one referred to. As she cursed, her eyes suddenly widened, and her entire being plunged into the sea below.
“Cough, cough!” Shang Zhaoye poked her head out of the water, her despair beyond words. “I can’t live like this anymore!”
At the same time, Yin Xiaoru also felt the strong resonance from that side and finally pushed Xia Guixuan away in embarrassment. “You… you… we were seen!”
She quickly pulled down the fox pajamas that had been lifted up and bolted away, leaving no trace behind.
Shang Zhaoye, soaking wet like a drowned rat, stood there for a moment, realizing that everything had calmed down…
Angrily wiping her face, she resumed her flight towards the place where the former Fox King once secluded herself for cultivation.
It would be easier to communicate with the Fox King’s soul there.
If this matter isn’t resolved, how am I supposed to live after this!?
