Li Yundong listened, dumbfounded, to the sounds drifting from the living room. No way, he thought, are they singing lyrics that explicit? Who taught them? It couldn't have been Su Chan again, could it?

Li Yundong sprang up, yanked open the door, and headed downstairs. The little foxes had just finished singing. They were now sitting cross-legged in a circle on the floor, their eyes glued to the forty-seven-inch plasma television in the living room, completely oblivious to Li Yundong’s arrival.

Seeing their innocent expressions, which belied any suggestion of mischief, he thought: Who taught them that song? Could it be... I misheard? No, that can't be right.

Li Yundong stood watching them for a while. They were so engrossed that they didn't even notice him standing right beside them. He secretly thought: Good heavens, if an assassin tried a sneak attack right now, even a child could take them all down! Are those Calabash Brothers really that captivating? What TV station has such poor taste as to air such an ancient cartoon?

Li Yundong looked up and gasped, sucking in a cold breath: CCTV Children's Channel! Hah, they really are still little ones!

Just then, the scene appeared where the Calabash Brothers were captured by the Snake Demon and the Scorpion Spirit, being stripped and urinated on as a form of mockery. The most hilarious part was that a small block of mosaic obscured their critical areas!

The little foxes immediately piped up, "What is that blurry patch?"

Another little fox immediately laughed and scolded, "Idiot, that’s what men have down there, you don't even know that?"

"Oh, oh, why is it blocked like that?"

"I don't know, ask Senior Sister Su Chan, she has extensive worldly experience, she’ll definitely know."

Su Chan had no idea what 'mosaic' was. Seeing all the little foxes look to her, and unwilling to show weakness in front of them, her eyes darted around. As her gaze shifted, she spotted Li Yundong standing nearby.

The young girl saw him as a savior, beaming happily as she said, "The Sect Leader is here, ask him! Let him answer."

Li Yundong wore a look of deep confusion and shot Su Chan a glare under his breath. He cleared his throat and said, "This, this thing is actually called mosaic. It’s used to cover, cough cough, to cover certain, certain very intimate areas. Uh, yes, something like that."

Li Yundong, usually a man of sharp wit and effortless eloquence, felt a bead of cold sweat break out on his back while explaining this issue in front of a room full of beauties. He stammered terribly!

After he finally finished his explanation, the little foxes suddenly understood: "Oh, so that’s what it is!"

Su Chan also looked enlightened, but her expression quickly shifted to confusion. Her gaze involuntarily drifted down towards Li Yundong’s lower regions, and she asked, "But why isn't yours covered with mosaic?"

Li Yundong instantly went frantic, wishing he could just grab Su Chan and spank her five hundred times!

The other little foxes, seeing Su Chan’s question, all turned their gaze towards Li Yundong’s lower half, their expressions unusually suggestive, punctuated by suppressed giggles.

Li Yundong glared at Su Chan in frustrated anger: "Are you a pig? Why would you ask a question like that!"

Su Chan looked genuinely bewildered: "Huh? What’s wrong with that question? Is there something wrong with it?"

Seeing her still looking completely lost, Li Yundong grew even more exasperated and couldn't help but shout: "You can actually ask a question like that? You truly are a pig, as dumb as a pig!"

Su Chan, scolded publicly by Li Yundong, immediately pouted high: "But I didn't know! If I don't know, I ask, what's wrong with that? I am not a pig!"

Li Yundong burst out laughing in anger: "You’re not a pig? That’s highly unlikely! Yes, from now on your name is changed to Zhu Cai Guai [Literally: Pig Is Unlikely]!"

Su Chan stomped her foot in indignation: "You’re the pig, I’m not a pig!"

Li Yundong let out his pent-up frustration, roaring with triumphant laughter: "Zhu Cai Guai, you are Zhu Cai Guai!"

Su Chan was furious, baring her teeth and claws, ready to pounce on Li Yundong, when Zi Yuan, Ruan Hongling, and the other members of the Fox Zen Gate leaped in from the balcony.

Li Yundong said, torn between laughter and exasperation: "Can't you people use the door? There is a thing in this world called a door!"

Zi Yuan smiled slightly, while Ruan Hongling made a face at him: "What's the difference? Isn't that also a door? Just the back door!"

Li Yundong sighed: "The Chinese habit of taking the back door is deeply ingrained, even among cultivators! I have no words left!"

His remark caused the group to cover their mouths and laugh.

At this moment, Zhou Qin, Cao Yi, and others also descended from upstairs, and the spacious living room quickly became crowded.

Li Yundong looked at Zi Yuan and asked, "Did you all come for something?"

Zi Yuan nodded: "Yes. We secured the shop space yesterday. Why don't we go get the business license for the storefront today? And while we’re at it, we can all brainstorm a name for the shop."

Hearing this, everyone became excited, especially the little foxes from the Fox Zen Gate. They chattered excitedly, starting to discuss.

"Hey, what do you think the shop name should be?"

"I say, let's call it Fox Fragrance Tea House!"

"Are you an idiot? You want everyone to know the Fox Zen Gate runs this tea shop? Aren't you worried about people from other sects causing trouble?"

"How about we call it Panshi Tea House! Naming it after our Ancestral Master, what do you think?"

"What's good about that? It’s worse than the first suggestion! Panshi Tea House, how ugly!"

They bickered incessantly. Li Yundong couldn't find a gap to interject. Cao Yi, noticing the scene, cleared her throat, drawing the attention of the little foxes before reprimanding them: "What kind of demeanor is this? Are you the ones who get to decide the name? Of course, the Sect Leader makes the final decision!"

Li Yundong chuckled slyly: "It’s fine, let everyone offer their opinions one by one. We'll choose the best one later."

Li Yundong turned to Zi Yuan: "Zi Yuan, you put in the most effort on this whole matter. What name do you suggest?"

Zi Yuan smiled gently and demurred: "I haven't thought about it. Why don't you all suggest names?"

Li Yundong then looked at Ruan Hongling: "Hongling, what name do you propose?"

Ruan Hongling wasn't reserved. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I remember when Senior Sister Zi Yuan performed that tea ceremony last time, the scene was misty and swirling, like an immortal realm on earth. How about we call it Cloud Mist Tea House?"

When she finished, Li Yundong laughed: "Cloud Mist is a type of tea. If you name it that, people who actually want to drink tea will think you only sell Cloud Mist tea."

Zi Yuan smiled wryly and teased: "Then we should call it Guanyin Tea House, since the vast majority of our teas are Tieguanyin!"

Ruan Hongling pouted: "You ask me to name it, and then you two team up to mock me! You're really acting like a devoted couple! Annoying!"

Zi Yuan immediately flushed bright red and glared at Ruan Hongling with feigned anger. Li Yundong also looked quite awkward. He coughed abruptly and quickly shifted his target to Zhou Qin: "Zhou Qin, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhou Qin smiled: "How could I possibly have any good ideas?"

Seeing she was unwilling to speak, Li Yundong realized Zhou Qin was new to cultivation and likely cautious, fearful of saying the wrong thing. He smiled and didn't press her, letting his gaze drift away.

Su Chan, by this time, could hardly contain herself. She raised her hand high, shouting: "I, I, I have a great name!"

Li Yundong glared at her with mock anger: "Zhu Cai Guai, quiet down! You're too clumsy, we won't listen to your name!"

Su Chan's face immediately fell. She shouted indignantly: "Hmph, you’re Zhu Cai Guai!"

Li Yundong fought back a smile, deliberately not looking at her, and instead turned to Cao Yi: "Senior Aunt Cao Yi, what name do you think we should use?"

Cao Yi smiled: "Sect Leader, this is a shop you are opening; it’s hardly up to us to name it."

Li Yundong waved his hand and chuckled: "That’s not entirely true. This is also our Fox Zen Gate—oh, wait, this is a joint venture between our Fox Zen Gate and the Ling Palace Faction of the Zhengyi Sect. Since the Fox Zen Gate has a stake, you do too. Senior Aunt Cao Yi, please don't be so modest."

When Cao Yi realized she couldn't refuse, she thought for a moment and said, "Since it’s a tea house, and one situated in the bustling mortal world, I suggest a name that is both elegant and accessible. How about 'Lin Xian' [Approaching Immortality]?"

The petite and exquisite Liu Yuehong, standing nearby, suddenly smiled: "'Lin Xian' is indeed good, implying that drinking tea brings one close to immortality, nearing ascension. But I think 'Deng Xian' [Ascending to Immortality] might be better?"

Zhuang Yating added her opinion: "I think 'Tong Xian' [Connecting with Immortals] is best. The Tang Dynasty poet Lu Tong once wrote: A bowl moistens the throat and lips, / The second bowl dispels isolation’s gloom, / The third bowl scrapes the withered intestines, / Leaving only five thousand scrolls of writing. / The fourth bowl brings forth a light sweat, / All the unjust things in life, / Dissipate through the pores. / The fifth bowl cleanses the muscles and bones, / The sixth bowl connects with immortal spirits. Calling it 'Tong Xian' perfectly captures the poetic meaning, both common and elegant—isn't that just right?"

When she finished, Li Yundong immediately clapped and praised: "Excellent, Senior Aunt Zhuang Yating is truly learned. This name is wonderful."

At this point, Zhou Qin, who had been reluctant to voice an opinion, nodded slightly and added: "The storefront we rented is quite large. I propose we can set up three separate tea rooms: one called Lin Xian, one Deng Xian, and one Tong Xian. These three names perfectly represent the three levels of experience one gains from drinking tea. We can establish a three-tiered VIP tea room system, with Tong Xian being the highest, serving the finest tea, and so on. What does everyone think?"

Li Yundong looked at her with great appreciation: "Impressive. As expected of a daughter from a noble family—silent until it matters, then stunning. This idea is excellent!"

Encouraged, Zhou Qin was secretly delighted. She continued: "We can also set up three tiers of VIP cards, similar to Silver, Gold, and Diamond cards, with the customer’s spending determining their level."

When she finished speaking, everyone else praised her. This decision respected the input of the three seniors from the Fox Zen Gate while clearly outlining a management strategy for the tea house.

Zi Yuan glanced at Zhou Qin and smiled: "This is a truly good method. Li Yundong, you have taken on a fine disciple."

Cao Yi also laughed: "With such a capable disciple, Sect Leader, you won't need us anymore."

Zhou Qin smiled modestly: "Everyone praises me too much. I merely synthesized everyone else's ideas; there is nothing worth boasting about."

Li Yundong burst into hearty laughter: "Alright, stop flattering each other. It’s settled then."

Ruan Hongling suddenly asked with confusion: "Settled? What’s settled? The names of the three tea rooms were decided, not the name of the tea house itself! Are we going to hang all three names outside the shop at once? That would be chaos!"

Her question made everyone else realize the issue. They exchanged looks.

Li Yundong also pondered: "Yes, you are right. I hadn't thought of that."

Su Chan, having finally seized an opportunity, smirked triumphantly at Li Yundong: "See! You called me a pig, but you're the pig! So stupid!"

Li Yundong glared at her: "Yes, I am a pig, and you are Zhu Cai Guai! Zhu Cai Guai, do you have a better idea?"

Su Chan stomped her foot in fury at being spoken to like that in front of so many people: "You are Zhu Cai Guai!"

Li Yundong roared with laughter: "Then you come up with a good name, and I will admit you are not Zhu Cai Guai!"

Zi Yuan and the others watched Li Yundong sparring with Su Chan. Li Yundong seemed to always get the better of her in every sentence, yet Su Chan remained oblivious, following his lead foolishly. They all had to cover their mouths to keep from laughing.

Su Chan didn't realize Li Yundong was teasing her. Seeing that Li Yundong was asking her for a name, she was overjoyed, put her hands on her hips, and said proudly: "Finally remembered to ask me for a name? With my ice-cold intelligence and brilliant insight, I will certainly come up with a wonderful name!"

Li Yundong stifled his laughter and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Zhu Cai Guai, hurry up and give us a name!"

Su Chan stomped her foot and scolded loudly: "Stop calling me Zhu Cai Guai!"

Li Yundong was nearly splitting his sides laughing: "Okay, I promise I won't call you Zhu... Cai Guai."

Su Chan didn't catch the subtle shift in meaning created by Li Yundong's drawn-out pronunciation of the words. Seeing Li Yundong fall silent, she shook her head grandly and declared: "The three senior aunts just mentioned three immortals: Lin Xian, Deng Xian, and Tong Xian. In my opinion, why don't we just call our tea house 'Di San Xian' [Earthly Three Delicacies]!"

Li Yundong couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter: "Di San Xian? Isn't that a dish? Why do you only think about eating? You claim you aren't a pig, but what are you then? Right, you're not a pig, you are Zhu Cai Guai!"

Su Chan felt her proposed name was brilliant. She had looked expectantly at Li Yundong, waiting for praise, but instead, Li Yundong humiliated and mocked her. She immediately became enraged with shame and shouted: "I am not Zhu Cai Guai!"

This set off an uproar. Everyone in the room burst into collective laughter, and Li Yundong laughed so hard he nearly fell over.

Su Chan stared blankly at the laughing crowd, still not comprehending. She felt wronged and sad deep down. Why were they laughing at the wonderful name she came up with?

Especially that damned Yundong, leading the laughter!

Su Chan felt a grievance deeper than Dou E’s. Her eyes welled up, she sniffled, and started to cry, choking out: "I really am not Zhu Cai Guai..."
