Zi Lan's words sounded like a promise.
"… Thanks."
Xue Li grabbed the lapels of Bai Qiu's coat. She could feel Zi Lan's strength in his embrace and couldn't help blushing.
Then she raised her head and gave Zilan a quick kiss on the chin.
The two of them hugged each other for a while, until the sky started to change slightly, and then Xue Li stood up.
She wrapped Zi Lan in her white fur coat and said, "It's almost time for us to go back! We'll go after we get some water!"
"Um."
Zi Lan responded and stood up together.
Xue Li was actually a little embarrassed. The two of them had been together for so long that the water on her body was almost wiped dry by Zi Lan's fur coat.
Xue Li pulled her fur coat tighter to her chest and happily went to fetch water, but just as she picked up the bucket, she felt someone take it from her hand.
Zi Lan silently took her bucket and silently bent down to fetch water.
Xue Li watched Zi Lan fetch some water for her, and the two of them walked side by side back towards the cabin.
The area around the cabin was very lively, with several leading princesses and the little white deer there, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. The foxes arranged their residence not far from Sydney's cabin, so that it would not interfere with her residence, but also not too far away to be unpopular. In just half an afternoon, it already felt like the prototype of a town.
The little white deer was very smart and had a talent for management among small animals. This time, as the host, she played a very important role. She was very satisfied with the results of her work and was strolling around with her head held high. When she saw Xueli and Zilan coming back, she was so happy that she wanted to stamp her hooves at them. But when she got closer, she found that they were both soaked like drowned rats.
The little white deer was shocked: "How did you get it like this? Why did it get so wet?"
Xueli was too embarrassed to tell anyone about their water fight, so she said sheepishly, "I fell into the river, and Zilan came down to rescue me, and he ended up like this."
The little white deer pushed them both into the cabin anxiously, saying, "This won't do. Quick! Go inside and change your clothes. You'll get sick if you stay wet like this!"
Xue Li blushed as she handed the bucket in Zi Lan's hand to the little white deer. Then she and Zi Lan were pushed back into the cabin by the little white deer, who also closed the door for them.
It was bustling outside, but the cabin was quiet. There was no one in the cabin, even the little tiger had gone out to play.
Xueli moved her heels uneasily and said, "Then I'll go to the inner room to change clothes!"
Zi Lan said, "Well, I can just use the outer room."
After Xue Li finished speaking, she hugged Bai Qiu and hurried back to her room.
The cabin was really small. Apart from the big room at the entrance, there were only two small rooms where Xueli and Shaoyin Fairy lived respectively. Moreover, they were originally a master and a disciple, so there was not much space between them. There were no doors in the two small rooms, only a light curtain to cover them. Although it was said to be divided into two rooms inside and outside, in fact the separation between them was not obvious.
Because of this, changing clothes in such a room was a bit embarrassing for Xueli and Zilan.
Although they could no longer see each other, they could still hear the rustle of each other's clothes.
When Zi Lan heard the slight noises coming from Xue Li's room, she couldn't help feeling a little confused, and the tips of her ears involuntarily turned slightly red.
He forced himself to calm down, shook his body, and began to take off his wet clothes.
They came here prepared to stay for a few days, so Zi Lan prepared some spare clothes when he arrived. Unexpectedly, they came in handy on the first day.
Zi Lan changed into a set of neat and dry clothes and fastened his belt. Then he heard Xue Li knocking on the wall from behind the inner room and whispered, "Wu Wu, are you okay?"
Zi Lan straightened his sleeves and said hurriedly, "Okay."
Then he saw Xue Li's two snow-white pointed ears popping out from behind the edge of the door frame, followed by her eyes and half of her face. She blinked, and when she saw that Zi Lan had indeed changed her clothes, she jumped out from behind the door with the white fur coat in her arms.
Xue Li also changed into a dry dress. She always dressed simply, just the dress she usually wore when practicing medicine. Her black hair was draped behind her without any decoration. When she suddenly appeared from behind the door, she looked refreshing.
Xueli brought the white fur coat to Zilan and said shyly, "I just got your fur coat wet. You can't wear it now. I'll put it in the sun and return it to you."
Zi Lan held Xue Li's hand and said, "It's okay."
Xue Li didn't want that. She was about to run out with her clothes to dry in the sun, but Zi Lan didn't let go of her hand and stopped her when she was about to leave the cabin.
Zi Lan called out, "Snow Pear."
"Um?"
Xueli looked at him.
Zi Lan's dark eyes were staring at her deeply.
He held her wrist tightly, and his pair of sincere and deep wolf eyes seemed to contain eternal affection as he stared at her.
Zi Lan said: "What I said in the Wolf Palace before was sincere."
Xueli was stunned and asked, "What?"
Zi Lan replied: "I want to marry you and spend my life with you."
Gods and immortals are not subject to birth, aging, sickness and death, so the promise is even more solemn. The life of gods and immortals is eternal, from generation to generation.
Zi Lan stood straight in front of her, like a straight bamboo standing in the wind. His eyes did not avoid her at all and were extremely sincere.
Xue Li couldn't help but blushing, and the nine tails behind her also started wagging.
Zi Lan had also said the same thing last time, but he didn't say it so directly, which caught Xue Li off guard and made her feel uneasy.
She whispered, "I, I understand. I will think about it carefully."
Zi Lan said, "I understand. Let's wait until Fairy Shao Yin comes back. I will wait for your reply seriously."
Zi Lan's natural response, as if such a long and patient wait was the most normal thing, made Xue Li feel vaguely guilty.
Xue Li also has a strong liking for Zi Lan, but they have only been in love for a short time. Xue Li does not have the decisiveness of the wolves who, once they fall in love, want to settle down immediately. She always feels that they should stay together for a while like now.
Just looking into Zi Lan's eyes, she sometimes had the urge to just agree to him.
But at this time, Xueli wagged her tail again and couldn't help asking: "But there is one thing..."
"What?"
Zi Lan asked.
Xue Li whispered, "I am a nine-tailed fox, and you are a snow wolf. We are from different tribes. If we get married, will there be any problems?"
Xue Li had been thinking about this question for several days. She had not thought about it so much when she lived in the small fairyland. However, during the time she lived in the Ninth Heaven, she found that most of the couples she met, whether they were the Wolf King and Wolf Queen, the Dragon King and Dragon Queen, or the gods of other tribes, were married to the same tribe, and their children were also from the same tribe. Xue Li had never encountered inter-race marriages, and when she thought about herself and Zi Lan, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Zi Lan was also startled when he heard Xue Li ask this, but he immediately replied, "No."
In the twenty-eight star-holding beasts and the related star-holding fairyland, most of the marriages are indeed between the same clan. But it is not because different clans cannot intermarry, but because the gods and immortals of each clan mostly live in their own fairyland and manage the affairs of their own fairyland. Even the star-holding meeting is only held once every ten years, and the number of participants each time is not large, and most of them are relatively old and respected gods and immortal officials. Naturally, each clan has more opportunities to meet the same clan.
Situations like his and Sydney's are rare in themselves.
Although Xue Li got a simple answer, she still looked a little worried and said, "But..."
Zi Lan explained the situation to her briefly, paused, and said, fearing that Xue Li would be upset, "It is you and only you that I admire, nothing else, and I cannot change to anyone else. Not to mention that there will be no problem, even if we are not of the same race and cannot marry each other, there is no way, I will not retreat."
Xue Li's heart beat even faster, but Zi Lan's words did put her mind at ease.
Her tail kept wagging behind her and she couldn't help but respond, "Me too... I like you, too."
After the words were spoken, both of them lowered their heads, wagging their tails facing each other, with only their clasped palms feeling hot.
Zi Lan lowered his head and tentatively kissed Xue Li on the corner of her mouth again.
“Woo.”
Xueli tilted her head slightly but didn't hide.
The two men's tails wagged faster and faster.
Xueli said shyly: "We have stayed in the house for too long, why don't we go out?"
If they didn't go out, Xiao Bailu and the others would probably think that something had happened to them in the house.
"Um."
Zi Lan responded.
The two walked out together, but just as Zi Lan opened the door, she heard an unexpected noise—
"Ahh! Ahhhhh!"
Brother Tiger ran around the yard in a state of excitement, and from time to time he hunched his body and let out a low, gurgling growl from his throat in a certain direction.
The yard was filled with small animals, making a mess.
Xueli hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"
When the little white deer heard Xueli's voice, he looked towards her. His ears trembled with joy and he said, "Xueli, look! Didn't I say I had good news for you? Here it is! Little Tiger Sister is back from patrolling outside! Look, little Tiger Sister can already transform into a human!"
Xue Li was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction the little white deer said.
Xueli then noticed that there was indeed a little girl standing in the direction that Xiao Bailu said. The two little tigers were four years old this year, but probably because they were born without spiritual intelligence, and were nourished by the spiritual energy of the fairyland, the tiger sister's human form was older than her actual age, but far from the standard of an adult tiger, about six or seven years old, and looked about the same age as Xiao Longnu.
Sister Tiger was wearing a coarse cloth dress from the fairyland. Probably because Xueli and Aunt Shaoyin were not in the fairyland, the little animals did not make it well. It was much rougher than what Xueli wore when she was a child, but it looked good. She also had two small tufts on her head. Compared with the dignified, well-behaved and a little weak Xiaolongnu, Sister Tiger looked quite lively and healthy.
As soon as the little white deer said that, Xueli sensed that the little girl indeed had the aura of little tiger sister. However, big tiger brother seemed to find it difficult to accept this fact, and the direction of his low roar was towards little tiger sister.
Sister Tiger was embarrassed by the yelling, but she was still very happy to see Xueli. She could actually recognize Xueli and said happily when she saw her come out: "Sister Xueli! Look, I can turn into a human!"
Xue Li nodded to her hurriedly, but before the two of them could talk more, they were interrupted by the growl of the little tiger brother.
"Ah! Ah! Ululululu..."
Brother Tiger was not polite to his sister at all, and showed his ungrown fangs without hiding his hostility.
Sister Tiger was at a loss and said, "Look, brother, I am your sister! I have not changed, I just gained spiritual wisdom and can transform into a human form!"
The author has something to say: Fox Qiuqiu: Did you make little tiger sister’s clothes with your hooves and claws
Little White Deer (joyfully): I can become a human too!
Foxball: Oh?
