"It smells so good, Nine-tailed! What delicious food are you making?" Ning Xuan exclaimed, catching the fragrant aroma from afar.
"Welcome back, Master. I made you a three-color mushroom soup, grilled matsutake fish, and crystal egg-wrapped meat. Is there anything else you'd like? I can make whatever you want," Nine-tailed said, overjoyed by Ning Xuan's praise.
"YIP YIP YIP..." The Little Fox leaped into Ning Xuan's arms, its little paws gesturing frantically.
Ning Xuan looked at the Little Fox and patted it. "Easy now, I know. You want some dried fish, right? Alright, there are some ready in the dining tent. I'll go get them for you."
Ning Xuan said to the Little Fox, her voice full of affection.
"YIP YIP YIP..." The Little Fox put its paws together and gave Ning Xuan a little bow.
"Master, how can you understand what it's saying?" Nine-tailed asked curiously.
