Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1133: Postscript: Two or Three Daily Matters of the Demon Realm

Eastern Emperor Realm, capital city Divine Dragon Tower.

Early in the morning, Chen Guanshui leisurely woke up and casually felt a few fox tails.

From saving files in Kunlun to the Eastern Emperor Realm, the biggest difference was that, in Kunlun, Junior Sister Xu took care of everything, leaving Chen Guanshui to just educate a few disciples.

However, in the Eastern Emperor Realm, the little fox completely left things unchecked. When her husband returned, she dumped all the state affairs on him and became a happy, domesticated fox.

But after all, she was the king of ten thousand demons… There was no choice. Chen Guanshui could only help with the state affairs as best as he could, passing decisions to his regent father-in-law Ying Long for review, and then implementing them.

This resulted in him either dealing with state matters or playing with the fox every day in the Eastern Emperor Realm, wishing he could split the twelve hours of the day into twenty-four to use.

Stepping softly down from the bed, Chen Guanshui approached the desk and nimbly took out the ministers’ memorials:

“Alright, let me see who is rebelling today…”

Sure enough, the most tumultuous was indeed the Azure Dragon of the Eastern State.

The Azure Dragon had originally been willing to support the Long Hu because there was no Immortal Rank ancestor behind the Jiaolong Clan affiliated with Long Hu, so they had to rely on the Eastern State.

However, as soon as Long Hu entered the Cultivation Realm, she immediately brought back two Immortal Rank ancestors, causing the Azure Dragon Clan to completely lose its original advantage—since the Jiaolong now had their own ancestors, why rely on the Azure Dragon?

But now everyone pledged allegiance to the capital, and whoever rebelled first would definitely be the one to bear the brunt, so the Eastern State dared not rebel openly, although their moves in private were quite numerous.

Heavy-handed measures! We must strike hard! Let Father-in-law harshly punish them!

“Whee-whee-whee!” The Long Hu on the bed began to call again.

“What are you doing?” Chen Guanshui didn’t even turn around.

Hmm, the Xuan Gui of the Northern State also showed some signs of movement. What does that mean? Oh, worried that they would be resented by Father-in-law for conspiring with the Qilin to undermine the Jiaolong back then, so they’re preparing both hands, right?

A warning, they must be warned!

“Come back quickly.” The Long Hu rolled on the bed, her tail swaying back and forth.

“Hold on, I’ll finish these memorials first.” Chen Guanshui continued looking at the memorials.

The White Tiger Clan of the Western State felt…

“Oo-oo-oo ah-ah ah whee-whee-whee-whee-whee!” The Long Hu began to toss pillows, completely turning into a dog.

Chen Guanshui was out of options and had to get up and return to the bedside to comfort his little wife.

At this moment, the Long Hu had completely lost any imperial dignity, simply clinging to his pillow and biting it nonstop, her smooth, delicate legs peeking out from beneath the quilt, her tail tucked away under the covers.

Chen Guanshui sat at the bedside, stroked her legs for a while, then his hand reached in to find the tail.

Although Long Hu tried her best to hide the tail, the fluffy and large thing was soon successfully caught by Chen Guanshui, who then gave it a few rough strokes.

Hmm?

“Hu,” he said in surprise, “You’re shedding?”

“It’s my shedding period recently,” Long Hu replied pitifully, “You don’t care about me at all!”

“Cultivators also have a shedding period?” Chen Guanshui was puzzled.

“Well, actually, there are secret techniques in the tribe to prevent shedding,” Long Hu sighed and explained, “But only pure-blood Celestial Foxes can learn them.”

“You’re not a pure-blood Celestial Fox? Oh… alright.” Chen Guanshui finally realized.

Long Hu was, of course, not a pure-blood Celestial Fox. She was originally a hybrid of dragon, fox, and human. After being reblooded through the Jiaolong Secret Method, she should now be considered a new bloodline.

She has both the tail of the Celestial Fox and the pupils of the Jiaolong, with new powers flowing in her bloodline, neither dragon nor fox, but a completely new species, naturally unable to use the spells of the Celestial Fox Clan. The higher the bloodline requirement, the less usable it becomes.

“Is shedding troublesome?” Chen Guanshui asked considerately, thinking that among the five wives, Long Hu was probably the most outrageous. Not only did he need to handle her state affairs and breeding season, but now he also had to deal with her shedding!

“Of course, it’s troublesome!” Long Hu began to explain, “The spots where the fur drops from the tail will be very itchy, and once you start scratching, it itches more, and more fur will fall off, getting all over the pillows and blankets. It’s such a hassle.”

“Why not just shave all the fur off the tail…” Chen Guanshui merely suggested, only to be met with a fierce glare from his little wife:

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, nothing,” Chen Guanshui quickly changed his words, “Why not just transform the tail away? I remember you can choose whether or not to show the tail, right?”

“I can, but…” Long Hu was a bit reluctant, “But without a tail, wouldn’t it be strange?”

“Strange in what way?”

“Think about it. I’m a fox,” Long Hu said, “Isn’t a fox supposed to have a tail?”

Since Long Hu wanted to keep her tail, Chen Guanshui, as her “Long Long,” naturally had to solve the problem for his wife.

So the two played under the covers for a while again. Once Long Hu fell asleep, Chen Guanshui got up to find a solution.

Hmm, covered in fox fur, this indeed needed to be resolved.

First, he found Hu Li to inquire about the fur shedding issue of the Celestial Fox Clan, and saw that Hu Li asked warily:

“Why are you asking about this?”

Chen Guanshui was not foolish enough to tell the truth. After all, if Long Hu didn’t mind letting Hu Li know, she would have asked her little aunt for help herself, so he merely smiled and said:

“I’m just curious and wanted to know how the Mao Clan solves this problem.”

“You’re from the Human Race and don’t have shedding issues, so why bother about this?” Hu Li thought for a moment and replied, “Each tribe has different solutions. For instance, our Celestial Fox Clan refines the pores with the essence of the Yin Moon to keep them flourishing, so they don’t shed.”

“Or, for example, the White Tiger Clan uses a certain Wind Blade Secret Technique to seal all the pores in their bodies in advance. This way, they won’t shed. Also, when needed, they can eject wind blades from their bodies, which can harm enemies.”

After listening to Hu Li’s explanation, Chen Guanshui thought to himself how hard the Mao Clan cultivators must have worked, developing so many secret techniques just for a shedding issue.

“Can I take a look at the specific mental method incantation for the Celestial Fox Clan’s secret technique?”

“I can write one for you.” Hu Li pulled out a jade slip, “But it’s only usable by the Celestial Fox Clan. Other tribes can’t freely manipulate the essence of the Yin Moon like we can. Here, take it.”

Receiving the jade slip, Chen Guanshui returned to the study to meticulously research.

Looks like I’m not only dealing with state governance, but also getting involved in academic research now.

Concerning the Demonic Race’s bloodline supernatural powers, Beiming Fanyang holds very profound research, so Chen Guanshui quickly summoned Elders Long Xi and Long Yuan to come and help.
