Shao Yin spent a quarter of an hour telling the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen in detail about Xue Li's original idea.
Xue Li's thinking was actually well-founded and made sense if you thought about it carefully. It could also stand up to scrutiny, which is why Shao Yin thought more and more about it afterwards and felt that it was more and more possible, and was successfully convinced.
After hearing this, the wolf king and queen were also persuaded.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
The Wolf Queen asked, "Since Xueli had this idea before, why didn't she tell us?"
Shao Yin said: "She is still young and doesn't know much about the Nine Heavens. I think she thinks such an idea is too far-fetched, so she doesn't dare to say it in public."
Furthermore, for a junior like Xueli, the effect is not strong enough and may not be useful. But Fairy Shaoyin is different, she is the one who can make the decision.
The Wolf Queen hesitated and said, "But when the Nine-tailed Fox disappeared a thousand years ago, the Nine Heavens did search for it, but no clues were found..."
Shao Yin said, "The Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe may be hiding in a secluded fairyland like the one Xueli lives in. We have never thought about this in the past. A small fairyland like Xueli's is very secluded from the world. We have not deliberately hidden it for more than ten years, and no one has discovered it. If the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe lives in such a fairyland for some reason, it is possible that no one has noticed it for a thousand years. But now we have a clue. If we consciously and carefully look for it, we may be able to find it."
Fairy Shaoyin paused for a moment before continuing, "Now all the 28 tribes of star-controlling beasts have lost their own beasts, except for the Nine-tailed Fox tribe, which is different in that its entire tribe has disappeared. And by this calculation, the Nine-tailed Fox tribe was the first to suffer among the 28 tribes of star-controlling beasts. If the Nine-tailed Fox tribe is still alive, they might know something. Now that we have no clues about the man in white, since we are just searching blindly, why not look for the Nine-tailed Fox as well?"
Fairy Shaoyin was right. The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen were willing to look for the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. When they heard Fairy Shaoyin think there was still a chance, they were naturally persuaded. Moreover, the man in white did not have any good clues. They were just searching in a carpet-style manner. It would be more realistic to look for the Nine-tailed Fox. If they searched for both sides at the same time, it would not be troublesome.
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen simply discussed it, and the Wolf King said to Shao Yin, "In this case, we will contact other gods and immortals through letters, asking them to pay more attention to the man in white, and see if they can find the fairyland or other traces of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan."
"Thank you, two gods."
Shao Yin smiled happily and thanked the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen solemnly.
The search for the nine-tailed fox clan was thus smoothly settled.
Having said that, Fairy Shaoyin took a short break, exchanged glances with the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen in a relaxed atmosphere, took a deep breath, and then said, "Then the official business has come to an end. In addition to the matters of the Nine Heavens and seeking refuge, I came to visit the Wolf Realm this time to discuss other important matters concerning my children with the two God Sovereigns. I think the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen have already guessed it—"
Fairy Shao Yin was halfway through her speech when the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen smiled and the atmosphere immediately eased.
When Xue Li and Zi Lan returned to the Wolf Palace, they explained the general situation to the Wolf King and Queen, and were mentally prepared for the intentions of Fairy Shao Yin.
As expected, when Fairy Shao Yin saw the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen laughing, she couldn't help but smile as well.
Shao Yin said: "I came back this time for Xueli and Zilan's marriage."
…
On the other side, Xue Li and Zi Lan were having fun in the garden.
The two fur balls snuggled up to each other, licking each other's fur and rubbing against each other. Xueli clung to Zilan's chest, squinting her eyes and wagging her tail to rub against him. Zilan carefully protected the little nine-tailed fox in his fur, letting her do whatever she wanted and letting her cling happily.
Just at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the garden.
When Xueli and Zilan heard someone coming, they hurriedly separated and became two white fur balls, one big and one small, standing side by side awkwardly and stiffly.
Soon, a wolf officer hurriedly appeared at the corner of the garden.
When the wolf officer saw the two of them, his eyes lit up and he said happily, "Young Master! Fairy Xueli! So you two are here. The Wolf King, the Wolf Queen, and Shao Yin Yuanjun are inviting you two to come over!"
When Xue Li and Zi Lan heard someone calling them over, they unconsciously turned to look at each other, and then when their eyes met, they were both a little flustered and looked away in embarrassment.
Both of them already had an idea of the reason why the Wolf King and Queen and Fairy Shao Yin asked them to do so.
Zi Lan and Xue Li both transformed into human forms.
Soon the two were led to the hall where the Wolf King, Wolf Queen and Fairy Shao Yin were.
When they entered, the three elders looked at them with smiles, and such kind smiles made both of them feel indescribably shy.
Fairy Shaoyin took the initiative to greet them and said, "You two should come and sit down. We are just about to talk about your lifelong affairs."
Xue Li and Zi Lan walked to the seats that belonged to them and sat down side by side.
Both of them seemed a little stiff and awkward. After they sat down, Xueli felt Zi Lan gently holding her hand under the table.
Her fingertips couldn't help but shiver and her heart pounded, but she did feel a lot more at ease because of Zi Lan's company.
The Queen of Wolves said apologetically, "Speaking of this matter, it should have been the Wolf King and I who took the initiative to go to Snow Lotus Peak to raise it. It is really rude to bother Fairy Shao Yin to come here in person."
Shao Yin smiled and said, "We in the Immortal Realm do not need to be bound by these empty rituals and customs. The most important thing is that the two children are in love and can live happily and smoothly."
Shao Yin said, "I see that the two children have been together for quite some time. Although time is long in the immortal world, they have experienced more since they met than many couples who have been together for thousands of years. Their feelings are even beyond the reach of ordinary immortal couples. It just so happens that they both agree, so I think we should officially settle the matter."
Xue Li and Zi Lan were holding hands under the table. When Fairy Shao Yin was talking to the Wolf King and Queen, they both blushed, lowered their heads quietly, and listened silently to the parents of both sides discussing the most important things.
The wolf king and the wolf queen smiled kindly at the two of them, and the smile on their faces was so bright that it could melt the ice and snow.
The Wolf King smiled and said, "Of course this is perfect. Fairy Xueli has lived in the Wolf Palace for a long time. Everyone in the Wolf Palace praises her highly. Lan'er is older now and likes to go out with Fairy Xueli. This time, she should have stayed at the Fairy's Snow Lotus Peak for a while. They will always be together, and having a formal status is good for both of them."
"But compared to other immortal couples in the immortal world, they are still a little young."
Fairy Shaoyin suggested kindly.
"Besides, I also want to keep Xueli by my side for a few more years. I think they should get engaged first and then choose a date to get married formally in the future. What do you think?"
The wolf king and his wife had no objection and praised it repeatedly.
When the elders had almost finished their discussion, the Wolf Queen turned her head to look at Xueli and Zilan, and asked them with a slightly teasing smile, "What do you two think?"
Obviously, they were the first two to discuss it, but at this time, Zi Lan and Xue Li's faces were so red that they didn't feel comfortable answering and just nodded silently.
"puff."
The Wolf Queen thought they were so cute that she couldn't help but chuckle.
After the Wolf Queen laughed out loud, the Wolf King and Fairy Shao Yin couldn't help laughing either. The Wolf King smiled lightly, and Shao Yin covered her face with her sleeves, smiling very elegantly.
The house was suddenly filled with a festive atmosphere like that of the New Year.
Zi Lan and Xue Li both dragged their tails, their white hair swaying secretly behind them.
…
The engagement date for Zi Lan and Xue Li was soon set.
The good news of their engagement spread quickly inside and outside the Wolf Palace. Because many divine beasts and gods had been traveling to the Wolf Realm during this period, after learning that the young master Zi Lan of the Snow Wolf Clan and the fairy Xue Li of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan were getting engaged, they all looked delighted and came over to offer their blessings in a friendly manner.
It goes without saying that the Golden Dragon Clan and the Pheasant Clan, which had a good relationship with Xue Li in the past, also had a great relationship with the Jade Rabbit Clan. When the princess of the Jade Rabbit Clan heard that Fairy Xue Li was going to get married so soon, she burst into tears on the spot and Xue Li went over and comforted her for a long time before she calmed down.
Of course, the news that Xueli was going to get married was immediately sent to Xiaoxianjing by letter.
The little white deer, sister tiger and other small animals were quickly picked up by the wolf officer of the wolf realm.
Zi Lan and Xue Li's engagement was a rare happy event for the Star-controlling Divine Beasts in this tense atmosphere. Moreover, one of them was the young master of the Snow Wolf Clan, and the other was the only nine-tailed fox, which was of great significance in itself.
The highly respected God Xuanwu personally matched the horoscopes for Xueli and Zilan, selected the nearest auspicious day, and wrote the eight words "harmony between the lovebirds, a match made in heaven", indicating good luck and prosperity.
Before deciding to get the two children engaged, the Wolf Queen had already intended to personally choose a dress for Xue Li, and now Fairy Shao Yin has joined in.
Fairy Shaoyin was naturally very dedicated to Xueli's affairs. She was 8,000 years old, and her taste and vision were excellent. She had been practicing medicine and helping people at Xuelian Peak for so many years. In fact, there were still several pieces of fairy cloth and divine brocade hidden in Fairy Shaoyin's palace. Some gods in the Nine Heavens were grateful to her for sending them. Fairy Shaoyin specially asked Gancao and Danggui to go back and get them all. Once they were spread out, they were colorful and the formation was not inferior to the inventory of the Wolf Palace.
Then Fairy Shao Yin and the Wolf Queen excitedly surrounded Xue Li and played with her like a doll.
Sometimes they gestured to see what kind of style this kind of fabric was suitable for, and sometimes they discussed what color and pattern would suit her best. It couldn't be too plain and simple to lower the style of the engagement ceremony, nor too grand and ostentatious to steal the limelight of the future wedding gift.
After going back and forth like this for several days, even Xueli herself was dazzled by the choices. Finally, her aunt and the Wolf Queen happily decided on the fabric and pattern of the dress, and went to find someone to make it with satisfaction.
At the same time, the two of them carefully put away the other piece of cloth brought by Fairy Shaoyin.
"This piece of cloth will be used only when we have our wedding ceremony."
The Wolf Queen said with both joy and admiration, "You are worthy of being the Shaoyin Immortal Lord. I never thought that even such a rare Nine Heavens Treasure Cloud Flying Brocade would have such a large piece. The immortals who weave this kind of brocade regard every inch of the cloth as a treasure and exchange it for half an inch. I have never seen so much in a single go in thousands of years. I am afraid that even the Four Directions Divine Lords may not be able to get it."
The piece of cloth they put away was indeed the most beautiful of all the brocades. All the brocades in the room could not overshadow its dazzling brilliance, which made people unable to take their eyes away at just one glance.
However, when Fairy Shaoyin heard Queen Wolf mention this, she was stunned for a moment, a sad look flashed across her face, and then she smiled and said, "That was when I was practicing medicine with an old friend, and I happened to help a few fairies heal their injuries. They gave it to me as a thank you. We didn't make many clothes when we were at Snow Lotus Peak, so I kept them until now... It's just right for Xueli to use."
As she said this, she smiled gently at Xue Li without any expression.
Of course, when Xueli heard her aunt's words, she knew that the old friend she was referring to was the fairy Xue Xin. In a sense, the cloth was also a gift specially selected by her aunt and given to her on behalf of her mother.
Xueli had never had the opportunity to meet her biological mother, and when she understood her aunt's intention, she couldn't help but feel a little moved and sad. She secretly wiped her slightly red eyes, and then smiled back at her aunt, indicating that she understood.
Shao Yin looked very pleased.
…
The preparations for the engagement ceremony lasted for a long time.
Time flies, two months passed in a flash, and before we knew it, the spring breeze was getting warmer and the summer flowers were blooming.
They finally got to the day of their actual engagement.
The author has something to say: Here I come, here I come!
Maybe it was because the weather was too cold so I turned on the air conditioner, causing the mechanical keyboard to get damp and break. I tried to fix it for a long time but failed, so I had to turn on a small computer to type.
Don’t worry about any unexpected situations, we will continue to update as normal in the future qaq.

Congratulations to Fox Qiuqiu and Wolf Qiuqiu on becoming an engaged couple from now on!
