On the third day when Zhong Minyan’s patience finally reached its limit, the purple fox woke up and the first thing she said was, “Damn it, how dare you bite me!”

Once she opened her eyes, she found a circle of people around her, staring at her with wide eyes, so she almost jumped up. Ting Nu hastily held her down and said with a smile, “Finally, you are awake, how do you feel now?”

The purple fox grimaced in pain and scowled miserably, and said in a muffled voice, “Where did she bite? …… must she bite such a place …… ah … It hurts like hell!”

After saying that, she looked down and saw that there was a piece of gauze wrapped under her tail. She was bitten on the buttocks by the snake demon. Everyone couldn’t help but laugh, and told the story of saving Ting Nu, the purple fox waved her tail contentedly and laughed: “It’s good to be saved! I’m so relieved now!”

Zhong Minyan said, “Now that we’ve rescued him, you should fulfill your promise and take us to Buzhou Mountain.”

Zihu sighed, “Of course I won’t forget this, but the snake demon’s poison is so powerful that I can’t walk far because my arms and legs are sore. I can’t leave until the remaining poison is cleared.”

He was about to argue with her, but was stopped by Yu Sifeng, who turned his head and said gently, “In fact, we only need you to show us the way, and we won’t bother you with anything else. As for rescuing Linglong, you don’t even need to do it.”

The purple fox muttered: “Although it is said so ……, do I really stand by and do nothing?”

Everyone stayed with her for some time, and gradually the barriers have become smaller, understanding that she is a typical knife-mouth and tofu-heart[1], although she is a demon, but for the convenience of movement she turned into a fox to go with them, but in their hearts, they have gradually treated her as a companion. The people were all a little moved by her.

Zhong Minyan rubbed his nose and said: “Then …… you just stand by and do nothing! This is really urgent, can’t delay any longer, so we can only wrong you.”

Zihu blinked, and finally nodded, “Okay, then you pack up. We can leave right away.”

The people buzzed, cheered and dispersed. Ting Nu stroked the purple fox’s fur and said softly, “Is it really okay? Do not try to be strong when you get to Buzhou Mountain.”

Zihu suddenly said: “I am actually also anxious to go. Although you have not told me, but now I have guessed.”

Ting Nu couldn’t help but startle, and Zihu said loudly, “He’s locked up in the underworld, isn’t he? You knew, but you didn’t tell me! I’m going there to get him out!”

Tingnu was silent for a long time, then said, “Don’t be ridiculous, what can you do if you go there? How many more powerful demons than you can not save him, how can you save? Not to mention going to the underworld, you may not even approach the gate before being killed by Shenshu.[2]“

Zihu said anxiously, “I just want to save him! Those demons can’t be saved because they are not sincere! Can you find a more sincere one than me in the world? I will save him even if he is broken to pieces!”

Ting Nu can not help but be silent, after a long time, suddenly pushed the wheelchair to open the door out, while faintly said, “You are no longer the previous naive little demon, you should have their own ideas, I will not interfere. But all the consequences are your own responsibility.”

After saying that he then closed the door.

Because the purple fox’s remaining poison was still unclear, and her hands and feet were still inflexible, so Xuanji tucked her at the front of her chest, only revealing a head to show them the way.

Ting Nu led them all the way to the outskirts of the city in a wheelchair. From a distance, they saw a person sitting in the grass, a pungent drunk smell wafting from him as they approached. Yu Sifeng leaned forward with surprise and joy, and the man laughed and jumped up from the ground with his messy hair and clothes, and it was Liu Yihuan.

“Brother Liu! You …..” Did you change your mind about going with them to Buzhou Mountain? Yu Sifeng looked at him with hope.

Liu Yihuan stumbled over to him, slumped on his shoulders, raised his hand, laughing, “I’m here to see the Little Phoenix off …… this trip …… is very dangerous, be careful …… I still have to wait for you to return to Qingyang to drink wine with me!”

Yu Sifeng could neither laugh nor cry, so he nodded. Unexpectedly, he hooked his neck and whispered close to his ear, “Come back quickly. Don’t keep fighting, understand?”

Yu Sifeng heart shivered and he looked at him, but he laughed, patted him on the shoulder and turned away.

“Little fox~~~ Where’s the little fox?” Liu Yihuan yelled like a ghost. When he turned his head, he finally saw the purple fox shrinking in Xuanji’s arms. He bared his white teeth, smiled wide and walked over.

“What are you doing?” Zihu stared at him vigilantly, only to feel that he stretched out his big hand and lifted her up. The smell of the wine engulfed her face and she shrieked.

“Let me look at you again … it will be hard to see in the future!” Liu Yihuan said, kissing her furry face so hard that she froze in shock.

“Well, take care of yourself too, little girl.” He threw the stiff purple fox to Xuanji and smiled at her, “People can always be saved, don’t be too anxious.”

Xuanji nodded blankly and saw him walking towards Zhong Minyan again. Zhong Minyan has never shown him a friendly look. Seeing him staggering towards him, he immediately wanted to leave. Who knew he just looked at him, sneered, did not speak and then walked past him to Ruo’Yu.

“Well, you are still a smart person.” Liu Yihuan patted Ruo’Yu on the shoulder, smiling a little strangely, “Smart people don’t do bad things …”

Ruo’Yu smiled indifferently, clasped his fist and said, “Big Brother Liu is exaggerating.”

“You have no end ……” Zhong Minyan muttered. Liu Yihuan widened his eyes and said loudly, “Too lazy to talk to you fool! The most pathetic thing about a fool is not that he is a fool, but that he is so stupid that he thinks he is a smart person! You idiot!”

Zhong Mingyan was furious, and his face turned red as he tried to argue with him, but Liu Yihuan waved his hand, turned and pushed Ting Nu away, saying, “Take care of yourself! When you come back to Qingyang, I’ll invite you all to drink wine.”

“This person is absolutely hateful!” Zhong Minyan was furious and flew away with his own sword first, Ruo’Yu smiled and said, “Brother Liu is also kind, Minyan don’t worry too much.” After saying that, he also flew up with him.

On the ground, Xuanji and Yu Sifeng face each other, purple fox has very good sense to pretend to sleep and not make a sound. After a while, Yu Sifeng said softly, “Lets go.” Xuanji hurriedly went over to grab his clothes and said urgently: “Wait a minute! I still don’t understand what you said to me last time,”

Yu Sifeng did not speak and she said again, “I ……I don’t want to separate from you! But why do you have to say, what, absolutely …… I really do not understand what you mean! Sifeng, are you determined to return to Lize Palace? We can never see each other again?”

The thought of him going back to the palace, perhaps another ten or eight years without seeing each other, she only felt an infinite sorrow in her heart. If it was forced by others, she could stand up and snatch him back without hesitation, no matter what hardships she encountered, she didn’t care. But what if he wanted to leave? How can I get him to stay? How …… can I let him know how much I want him to stay?

Yu Sifeng’s eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, “The person who doesn’t understand should be me.”

Seeing him turning around to leave, Xuanji couldn’t help but hug him from the front and said anxiously, “Don’t go! You …… hear me out!”

The purple fox almost fainted by being crushed between them, and squeaked anxiously, “Let me down first, okay? You two lovers want to talk about love, do you want to find a spectator?”

Both of them were taken aback, watching the purple fox climbed out of their arms with difficulty, trembling a few steps, lying on the side of the grass and looked back breathlessly, said, “When you leave …… then come to call me. Now …… you do as you please, as if I do not exist.”

After being interrupted in this way, there was nothing else the two of them could talk about, and they are stunned for a while, Xuanji suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, her eyes felt hot, a stomach filled with words that she did not know how to say, so she turned around and picked up the purple fox and left.

Yu Sifeng suddenly whispered from behind, “Okay, I won’t go. I will stay.”

She turned her head hurriedly but saw him looking serious, and said solemnly, “It’s just that if I stay, I will never leave again. You must not regret it.”

Xuanji stared at him as he walked over, raised his hand to raise her chin, stared straight at her and whispered, “Even if you regret it again, I won’t leave.”

Xuanji slowly smiled, with tears still in her eyes but her face was already smiling like a flower. People often describe a woman with tears as pear blossoms with rain, but now he realized what kind of beauty this is, and for a moment he is stunned.

“Who, who said I would regret it? I’m too happy!” She wiped away her tears, grabbed his hand childishly, and said urgently, “Are you sure you won’t leave? You can’t lie!”

Yu Sifeng smiled faintly, patted her forehead lightly and said in a low voice, “Don’t lie, never leave.”

Xuanji was now so satisfied that she could not wait to fly to Bu Zhou Mountain and save Linglong, so that she could be at ease and never have to worry about anything again.
