Even though it was not the first day that Zi Lan was with Xue Li, they were together very often and they kissed and hugged each other a lot, but Zi Lan still felt a sense of strangeness at this moment.
Is this a girl
Xue Li feels so different from me.
He had feelings for Xue Li that were different from those for other people, and now that she was so close to him, his emotions were surging and unbearable.
If you count it carefully, this is the first time they have been so close in such an ambiguous atmosphere and such an ambiguous place. Moreover, neither of them is in animal form, but in human form. He can feel Xueli's breath in his arms, with the fragrance after bathing and the faint fragrance of her long-term immersion in herbs.
Zi Lan's own breathing became disordered.
He still held Xueli's hand, which he had just caught, in his palm. Compared with his, her palm also looked very small, delicate and cute.
Xue Li was also shocked when she touched Zi Lan's body, because she felt that Zi Lan had taken a cold spring bath. She was worried that he would catch a cold at night. She was afraid that he would be too tired and too cold keeping watch, so she wanted him to come to the bed and sleep with her. It would be warmer for the two of them under the quilt, and Zi Lan could also rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, Zi Lan's body was so hot that not only did she not need to keep warm, she could even use it as a stove to cover her hands.
It's only early summer now, and the feeling of two people snuggling together is just right.
Xueli then buried her head in Zilan's chest and rubbed it, then raised her head and kissed his Adam's apple with satisfaction, saying, "Then I'm going to sleep, you should also go to bed early."
Zi Lan: “…”
There was a brief silence.
Zi Lan said: "Yeah."
He pulled Sydney towards him, letting her settle into a comfortable position and cradling her carefully in his arms.
Feeling inexplicably calm and content, Zi Lan could hear her heart still beating strongly, a beat of happiness.
In the darkness of the night, the two of them lay in each other's arms, clothes on.
Zi Lan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms.
Xue Li was obviously at ease. Exhausted from a whole day of rituals, she soon fell into a deep sleep with steady breathing sounds.
Zi Lan's eyes could see clearly even in the dark. He stared at Xue Li's sleeping face quietly for a long time, but as the night grew darker, he finally closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
All is well and good night's sleep.
From this day on, Zi Lan and Xue Li became an engaged couple.
They are both capable of subtle changes in life.
Not only did the atmosphere between the two of them become more harmonious and sweet, and the two of them became closer, but sometimes the attitudes shown by other people could also make Xue Li feel the difference from the past.
After officially getting engaged to Zi Lan, they spent even less time apart.
In the past, because they were just beginning to experience love and were not used to it, they were embarrassed to act too close in front of outsiders. They usually avoided people and only kissed, hugged, and cuddled together when they were alone. It felt like they were in a secret relationship.
Because of this, the wolf officers had actually been guessing their progress for a long time, until they announced their engagement, it felt a bit sudden.
But after they officially got engaged, their relationship became open and honest. They could walk hand in hand, eat and practice together every day without anyone thinking it was wrong, and even when Xueli was alone, others would ask her about Zilan and even tease her about Zilan.
That afternoon, after Xue Li and Zi Lan had their meal, they walked side by side past the Wolf Palace's Xiantai training ground.
At this time, there were many young wolves practicing and sparring in the Xiantai training ground, and there were constant noisy shouts and sounds of weapons.
The training ground of the Wolf Palace is open. The Wolf Clan values martial arts and proper competition and cooperation. Therefore, the Wolf Clan disciples of the same age as Zi Lan will compete with each other every once in a while. In addition to daily training for the Wolf Palace guards, the training ground often has outstanding Wolf Clan disciples practicing and competing. Most of them are disciples of Wolf Palace Wolf Officers or outstanding disciples of the same generation in the Wolf Realm. Zi Lan is actually one of this generation of disciples. Although he is a special case as the young master of the Wolf Clan, he sometimes comes here to practice and also participates in the competition.
According to the wolf officer in the Wolf Palace, even though the young master had a cold, he had always been the number one among his peers in the wolf clan and had never been defeated. He was at a different level in terms of realm, and his participation was just a routine matter.
Zi Lan had not been out much in the past because of his cold, so he was not very familiar with the others, but after all, they were of similar age, so he knew some of them. Especially after he recovered from his illness, he went out to practice more frequently, and he had been spending more time with others recently, and their relationship seemed to have improved.
Today Zi Lan was going to meet the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, while Xue Li was going to learn cultivation from the Fairy Shao Yin who was temporarily residing in the Wolf Palace. They deliberately came out early so that they could take a detour and take a walk, and they happened to pass by the training ground.
As Xueli and Zilan walked by, Xueli heard a commotion in the training ground. Soon, someone ran to the side of the training ground and shouted jokingly at them: "Young Master! Young Master's wife!"
As soon as these two names were uttered, the other young wolves around began to snicker, and Xue Li's cheeks immediately felt hot.
Even though they were indeed engaged, it was still too early to call her "Young Master's Wife". The wolf officers still called her "Fairy Snow Pear" to her face.
These wolf disciples were obviously joking with them by shouting like that. Although they meant no harm and were just being childish, it embarrassed the two of them.
Xue Li turned her head to look at Zi Lan, but saw that Zi Lan had turned his head sharply the moment he heard the voice. The tips of his ears were also red, but his eyes were fierce.
He put Xueli behind him, thought for a moment, turned around and explained to her: "These are people I know."
Pause for a moment.
He softened his tone and said to her gently as usual: "You go to Fairy Shao Yin with the wolf officers first. I will go over to say hello to them and will be back soon."
The Wolf Palace is now heavily guarded, with many wolf officers everywhere. Zi Lan is worried about her being left alone.
Xueli nodded.
Having said that, Zi Lan went to the training ground.
After Xueli came back from training with her aunt, the wolf officer told her that the young master had gone to "exchange ideas" with those wolf disciples who had been making trouble. The exchange lasted for half a day, and the young master won a great victory.
"Young Master has never lost in competitions with disciples of the same generation, even disciples who are much older than him."
The wolf officer said with relief.
"Now that the young master has recovered from his cold and successfully broken through, he can transform into a divine beast. In fact, it would be a bit of a bully if he competed with his peers. But they were making a fuss at the time. If I can't explain it clearly this time, I'm afraid they will often make fun of this in the future. The young master was afraid that you would mind. He was too embarrassed to explain, so he simply solved the problem from the source of the fuss."
Xue Li blushed when she heard this and shook her head.
She actually didn't mind it too much. After all, they were already engaged and would get married sooner or later. But she would definitely feel shy if she was suddenly called "Young Master's Wife". She wasn't used to it yet.
Instead, it was Zi Lan who thought of a solution because of this, which surprised and touched her.
However, at this time, the female wolf officer paused again and said meaningfully: "But those who made a fuss before were all very young wolves of similar age to the young master, and they were all male disciples. I guess in addition to teasing you and the young master, they were also a little envious."
Xue Li didn't understand the female wolf officer's hidden meaning for a moment, and tilted her head: "?"
The female wolf officer smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing."
But having said that, she looked at Xue Li's smile and couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder.
A beauty like Xue Li, when she first came to the Wolf Palace, would have attracted attention just by walking around every day. At that time, she had already gained some fame due to the attention of the medical immortals, and it was inevitable that the hot-blooded boys would take a few more glances at her.
Of course, the contents of the young master's love letter had been made public. She was the Snow Pear Fairy in the young master's letter, and the fact that she came to the Ninth Heaven specifically for the young master soon spread, and the little wolves immediately gave up. This kind of curiosity and temptation between men and women, unlike the solemn promise of a lifetime of wolves, is very easy to happen and very common, and it is impeccable, and it may only take a short time. However, the little wolves are all young wolves who have no partners and are even quite naive, and they envy the young master to some extent.
This kind of envy is not very obvious. Fairy Xueli has few interactions with these young wolves, so she probably didn't notice it. But the young master is different. He is also a wolf, and a divine beast, the Snow Wolf. As an admirer and a highly competitive pursuer of Fairy Xueli, he is very sensitive to this emotion and will mind it.
He is now finally engaged to Xue Li. This time he is finding trouble with her because he is afraid that Xue Li will mind, but he probably also wants to take the opportunity to resolve some historical issues and make potential competitors completely convinced.
After the female wolf officer finished chatting with Xue Li, she left the fairy palace to do other things. But before she had taken a few steps, she saw the young master coming back from the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen.
When Xue Li saw Zi Lan coming back, she was very happy and rushed over happily.
Zi Lan also quickly went forward, and both of them turned back to their original forms.
The wolf officer watched as the young master became extremely gentle, carefully putting away all his fangs and sharp blades, and the two white fur balls he and Fairy Snow Pear leaned against each other and wagged their tails. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head, thinking that Fairy Snow Pear would probably never know about this little episode.
“Ouch!”
At this time, Xue Li was happily climbing onto the big snow wolf and happily pulling his fur.
Zi Lan lowered her head and licked her ear gently.
…
After Xue Li and Zi Lan got married, probably in order to let them get along well and adjust to the new relationship, the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen tacitly did not disturb them with anything big, and silently gave them a three-day holiday.
But after a few days, everything was back on track.
Now is the critical period to find the nine-tailed fox and deal with the man in white. After the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen promised Fairy Shao Yin to find the nine-tailed fox, although they did notify the gods of all parties and other trustworthy gods in the Nine Heavens for help, there is still no clue for the time being.
This time, they specially gathered again to discuss the matter, and also brought Shao Yin and Xue Li along.
The Wolf Queen said, "As mentioned before, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan may still exist in the world, but they are hiding somewhere in some way, or they may have encountered an accident and cannot appear in the world. But it would be too difficult to search for them alone. What do you think?"
The author has something to say: Wolfqiuqiu: Even if it is a potential competitor who has already given up, I have to beat him again before I can feel at ease.
