The purple fox only felt her body swaying, as if her soul was out of the body, not knowing where to drift.

Is she dead? Really dead? She died inexplicably before even entering the door to the underworld, somehow died …… so unwillingly. But it is good, after death, although she can not save him, at least she can accompany him in the underworld to suffer, better than him alone, going through thousands of years of lonely torture.

Just as she was thinking about it, her eyes suddenly opened but she didn’t react. Her body suddenly felt heavy and she fell to the ground with such force that her teeth almost broke.

“I’m not dead … ” she muttered, slowly getting up from the ground. However, her body felt as if it had no strength, her waist was aching, but it was the whip from Shen Tu that had grazed her, and although the injury was not serious, it was enough to make her immobile.

“Hey, which bastard blew out my candle? I must kill him later. I’ll kill him later. ……”

She couldn’t get up, she had to lie back down, staring blankly at the surrounding scenery. It was the altar of the gods, the bronze censer was still placed there neatly, five giant incense still burning, already burned by half. The black candles under the …… tripod are gone!

She was so shocked by this that she almost to jumped up, suddenly heard a person above her head said with a smile, “It’s actually a fox with shiny fur.”

The purple fox was stunned to see a head stretched out, looking at his from above. The man wore a green robe, long hair that almost fell down to her face, but the face wore a fierce Āxiūluō[1] mask. Behind the mask, his eyes burned, comparable to the stars in the sky.

“You ……” She felt familiar, suddenly remembered and screamed, “You are the people of the palace of Li Ze? You blew out the candles? I didn’t do anything to offend the palace, did I? Why would you do such a thing when we’re all family?”

The head belonged to the Deputy Palace Master. He smiled, lifted his hand and lifted her up, looked at her in front of his eyes, and laughed.

“Who is a family with a lowly fox demon like you?”

Although the words contained a smile, it was indescribably contemptuous and despicable. The purple fox was instantly furious, but her body was weak, and the skin on the back of her head was grabbed by him, so she had no power to fight back, and could only stare at him fiercely.

The Deputy Palace Master laughed again and said, “You will only be a hindrance if you stay, who thought you were lucky enough not to be killed by Shen Tu.”

The purple fox laughed in anger, and said sternly, “Yes, they didn’t kill me, do you want to help?”

The Deputy Palace Master tucked her into his sleeve and said gently: “Kill you? I don’t want to dirty my hands. It’s just as well that the Zanhua Conference is about to begin, so you can be the flower that gets picked, saving a lot of effort.

The purple fox was cursing in his sleeve, all of which were unheard of profanities that were unbelievable. The Deputy Palace Master was able to listen with a smile at first, but then he got a little bored and tapped on his sleeve, the purple fox only felt his true qi stabbing through the sleeve, a breath of air suddenly blocked in her throat, her eyes went black and she fainted.

“You can’t ruin a big event,” he whispered. Looking back at the black candle that he had moved behind the altar, after watching for a moment, he finally turned around and drifted away.

Xuanji woke up slowly from the darkness, only to feel that she didn’t have any strength, as if she was being swayed by someone on their back. The person’s footsteps were very soft, as if he was afraid of waking her up.

She moved slightly, the person immediately noticed and asked in a low voice, “Awake?”

It was Yu Sifeng’s voice. She opened her eyes suddenly and looked around. It was the same gloomy sky, the same full moon that could be plucked by just reaching out with a hand, and they were still on Mount Bu Zhou.

A man came from behind to hold her neck and said in a rude voice, “Don’t move if you’re hurt! Lean back!”

It was Zhong Minyan.

She leaned on Yu Si Feng’s back, pressed against his long hair, and felt empty in her heart. After a while she murmured, “Where are we … where are we going?”

Yu Sifeng said lightly, “Didn’t Zihu say that the old nest of the monsters is in the northwest? We will go there.”

When he mentioned the name of the purple fox, Xuanji heart was bereaved, her eyes felt hot and tears flowed down the hair of Yu Sifeng.

When everyone saw her crying so sadly, they felt sad as well when they thought that the fate of the Purple Fox was still unknown. After a while, Zhong Minyan sniffed and said, “I believe she is not dead, she must have been bounced back to the living world.”

Xuanji heard him say so confidently and couldn’t help but stare at him, her black and white eyes seemed to be asking, ‘Really?’

Zhong Minyan turned away and said dully, “It must be like this! Why are you crying? It’s so ugly! How can you cry when you’re hurt? You didn’t look good even before!”

Xuanji was yelled at and she couldn’t cry anymore, she just sniffled and looked at him helplessly.

Yu Sifeng sighed, “Xuanji, next time …… you can’t be so reckless. That’s a God …… it’s a miracle you survived this time.”

The blood she spat out is still imprinted on her chest, a shockingly large piece that has dried up and stuck to her chest, making her heart palpitate for no apparent reason. The fact that she woke up so quickly and was able to speak, can’t help but say that she is lucky.

Xuanji was silent for a long time before saying, “I …… I don’t know how, an impulse, on ……”

Ruo’Yu, who had not spoken yet, suddenly smiled and said, “In my opinion, Xuanji is not that easily defeated. You forgot? Shen Tu seems to know her, and even called her General! Xuanji in the past like must have been a remarkable person.”

As soon as he said this, Xuanji was speechless, Zhong Minyan’s expression changed drastically, and only Yu Sifeng said indifferently, “Ruo’Yu, that is unfounded. Why would you say so?”

Ruo’Yu smiled lightly, “Why is it unfounded? We all saw and heard it just now, didn’t we?”

Zhong Minyan said sharply, “I didn’t see anything! I didn’t believe it even if I saw it! Those two gods must have mistaken the person!”

Xuanji reluctantly said, “Yes …… Yes, isn’t it said that this Beng Yu is a divine weapon? Maybe they thought I was the previous owner of this sword ……”

By the way, in their mouth, this sword is not called Beng Yu, but Dingkun. Dingkun, Dingkun …… Why is she so familiar with this name?

Ruo’Yu didn’t speak anymore.

Yu Sifeng walked with Xuanji on his back for a while, only to feel that she seemed to have improved a lot, so he asked her softly. “How do you feel? Where does it hurt?”

Xuanji shook her head, “I just had a terrible chest pain but I’m fine now.”

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head and breathed warmly on her lips. Xuanji’s face was red and she lowered her head.

“Don’t be so impulsive anymore, or sooner or later I will be …”

He sighed and then stopped after half a sentence.

Xuanji nodded slightly and whispered, “I … I will definitely listen to you next time … “

She can hear him laugh softly, like a soft little hand, touching her aching heart twice. Itchy but very comfortable. She could not help but want to groan, in the end she has thin skin, the whole face felt as if burning hot. She raised her hand to hold his neck, close to the ear lightly said, “I …… very heavy, right? Now I’m fine, I can walk by myself.”

Yu Sifeng’s long eyelashes trembled slightly and he whispered, “I won’t let go.”

After a pause he said, “I regretted it four years ago, why I didn’t carry you on my back?”

Xuanji suddenly remembered that more than four years ago they all went to Lutai Mountain to catch the Gu Diao[2]. At that time, she was very useless and knew nothing. She was stabbed in the foot by ground thorns and the person who carried her was the reluctant Zhong Minyan. Now he brought up this old story, but she has many emotions for no reason. At that time, they were the iron triangle, later Ling Long joined and they became the iron quadrangle, four people what all together, vowed to be good friends for a lifetime.

A lifetime ……

“Even if I am driven out by my father, I will not regret coming to Bu Zhou Mountain to save Ling Long.”

She spoke firmly in a low voice.

Yu Sifeng did not speak. The cold moonlight reflected on the side of the young man’s face, long eyelashes and eyebrows, extremely moving. The endless mountains stretched to the end of the sky, invisible to the eyes and the moon at the top of the sky was overhead, as if it could be easily picked by reaching out.

Such an eerie scene, for some reason, made Xuanji a little reluctant.

Leaning on his broad back, swaying gently, there is no sound around, only the heartbeat of two people. She only hoped that this road will be a little longer for the time being and then a little bit more longer, so as not to end so fast. Let her be quietly with him and walk a little bit more.
