"Little Lord?"
Hearing the young master's firm judgment, the immortals looked puzzled, but they didn't understand what he meant.
However, the little snow wolf just stared at the white fur in his hand in a daze.
The leading female fairy felt very sorry to see such a young master standing in the rain. Even though the rain could not hit him, she couldn't help but feel pity for him when she thought that he was so young but had to fight the cold since birth.
She squatted down and held the young master's shoulders, comforting him: "Young master, don't worry. It is indeed very difficult to go against the will of heaven and find Fairy Shao Yin... But even if we can't cure it for the time being, we can still find other immortal medicines and medical methods to reduce the impact of the cold disease. If we practice well over time, it will not affect our daily life sooner or later. Then, when Fairy Shao Yin returns after her tribulation, we can completely eliminate the coldness in our body."
The little snow wolf paused for a long time, put away its white fur, and said "hmm" obediently.
The immortal who had held him before picked him up again and protected him tightly.
The young master was already weak, and as soon as he returned to his arms, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The group rose into the wind again, and soon disappeared into the sky in a mighty manner.
…
Three years later.
In a hidden wonderland.
It’s warm spring, flowers are blooming and water is warm.
The sun is warm and gentle, the fairyland is covered with green grass, gurgling springs, chirping insects and birds, blue sky and white clouds, everything is bright and harmonious.
"Oooooh! Oooooh! Oooooh!"
Lin Shao used Taoist magic to build a small wooden house on a flat place near the water. After three years of constant renovation and repair, it has become very complete and fully equipped with a house, a courtyard and everything else you need.
At this time, the little white fox was playing outside the house, chasing butterflies lively and jumping around happily.
Lin Shao was sitting in the house sewing. She mended the clothes on her knees, bit off the thread ends skillfully, and wound up the excess thread. While doing so, she called out, "Baby, come back! It's almost time for dinner."
“Woo woo!”
The little fox who was playing outside turned around when he heard her voice, let the poor butterfly go, ran back to the house briskly, and shouted "Ah!" happily to Lin Shao.
Although the house is not big, it is spacious enough for two people to live in. The small house is simply divided into two rooms, which serve as bedrooms for the two. The kitchen is located elsewhere. In the large house connected to the outside, several simple wooden shelves are neatly arranged against the wall. On the shelves are bottles and jars with a faint medicinal smell and stacked herbs. Next to them are pharmaceutical supplies and some medical tools. On the other side are daily necessities.
Since there were no guests or outsiders, the layout was very casual.
Lin Shao watched the little white fox run in.
Three years ago, she was forced out of her master's sect and had nowhere to go. By chance, she picked up this little white fox and accidentally opened this paradise-like wonderland.
This was a way out for her. Moreover, the fairyland was also part of the fairy world, which mortals like her could not normally enter. Therefore, when she first stepped in, she was stunned for a moment.
But she had no time to waste and hurried to see the little fox who was in danger.
This was not a good look, as Lin Shao then discovered that this little fox actually had nine tails.
It was not known whether she had not noticed these nine tails before, or whether they appeared only after entering the fairyland, which frightened Lin Shao again.
However, the jade pendant carried by this little white fox can actually open the fairyland, which in itself proves that it is not an ordinary fox. The nine tails only further illustrate its identity. Saving her is still the most important thing.
Lin Shao immediately found a way to settle down in the fairyland. He kept the little white fox warm and found water and food for her.
However, even so, the little white fox still fell seriously ill after experiencing a rainstorm.
Fortunately, Lin Shao was originally from the Xinglin Mountains and was very proficient in Qihuang medicine. When she was at Xinglin Peak, she had never encountered a patient that she couldn't cure. Although there were no people in this fairyland, wild fruits and herbs grew luxuriantly. It didn't take Lin Shao much effort to find the right herbal medicine and save the little white fox.
From then on, the two of them began to depend on each other. The little white fox had nine tails, was smart and spiritual, and could transform into a human body. When she grew up, she could speak. The little fox was very curious and playful, liked to roll around and run around, and had a little temper. Except that she preferred to run around in her original form, she was almost the same as an ordinary child.
But strangely enough, after entering this fairyland, Lin Shao felt some strange changes happening to himself.
For example, she vaguely remembered that her real name should be Shao Yin, and she preferred to call herself that;
For example, she seemed to be able to use only another language in the fairyland, and could not use human language. She seemed to have known this language in the past, but she could not remember when she knew it. The little fox could also speak this language;
For example, she suddenly could understand the words on the jade pendant, which she clearly couldn't understand in the mortal world... The words "Xue Li" were written on the jade pendant. This jade pendant seemed to be used to indicate identity. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the name of the little white fox.
Little Sydney, so cute.
At this moment, the little fox had entered the house, ran to Shao Yin obediently, shook his ears, and asked curiously: "Aunt, what are we eating today?"
Shao Yin came back to her senses, put away her needle and thread, and went to the kitchen to get lunch. As soon as the tight wooden lid was opened, the fragrance of wild vegetables wafted into her nose along with the aroma of rice.
The most common wild vegetable stewed rice.
The little white fox had been following her around. It was very happy to see today's food and kept jumping around excitedly.
Shao Yin said to her helplessly: "Go sit down and I'll take it."
“Ouch!”
Little Xueli ran back with her tail dragging. She obediently jumped onto her little chair, retracted her paws, curled her tail in front of her, and sat very straight.
Perhaps because she is a nine-tailed fox, little Xueli grows much slower than normal foxes. Instead, she is more like a human child. At three years old, she is still only a little big, obviously a young fox. Her feet are so weak that she can't run steadily and often falls and bumps into things.
Shao Yin took a homemade wooden spoon to feed her. The wild vegetables in the fairyland were very tasty and steamed with rice until fragrant. When she fed her a spoonful, the little fox would open its mouth and eat obediently, squinting its eyes and moving its ears in satisfaction from time to time. It was very easy to raise.
However, Shao Yin also steamed other vegetables in the rice. When she fed the little fox the radish, the little fox refused to eat it. He closed his mouth tightly and his eyes and hid behind the spoon.
Shao Yin couldn't feed him, so she said fiercely, "Open your mouth quickly, being picky about food is bad for your health."
"woo woo woo woo."
The little fox refused to open its mouth, and made a humming sound from its throat to express its rejection. It shook its head, closed its eyes tightly, and hid back with its head and ears pressed against the back of the chair. When it realized it couldn't escape, it tried hard to tap the spoon with its little paws.
Shao Yin would never let her take a picture of her, so she suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "Ah, the rice cakes are ready."
"Ouch?"
Xiao Xueli likes to eat pastries. When she heard this, she subconsciously opened her eyes and looked towards the kitchen.
Shao Yin was quick-witted and quick-handed, and while she was making a sound, she stuffed the spoon into her mouth.
Little Xueli took a bite of the radish unexpectedly, and her mouth was full of the taste of radish. She immediately showed an indescribable expression and looked like she wanted to vomit.
Shao Yin rubbed her head and said, "Be good, I'll give you some rice cakes after you finish your meal."
Little Xueli hesitated for a while, but finally chewed the radish in her mouth and swallowed it reluctantly. However, after eating the radish, the little fox became obviously much weaker and its ears even collapsed.
Shao Yin continued to rub her head and praised: "Well done, well done, our Xueli is the best."
Shao Yin and the fox fed Xue Li the food mouthful by mouthful, and they finished eating soon.
The little fox's unhappiness came and went quickly. After little Xueli took a small bite of the rice cake as a reward, she immediately forgot about her aunt feeding her radish and ran around the house in a good mood again.
Little Xueli said: "Aunt, I'm going out to play!"
Shao Yin said, "Go ahead."
Little Xueli ran out of the house with her little feet and played happily in the yard. But she was probably full, so she started to feel sleepy soon and ran back to lie down on the porch of the cabin.
Shao Yin was cleaning up the dishes. After feeding the little fox, she ordered some food herself and then sat in the house to prepare the herbs, occasionally glancing at what Xiao Xueli was doing.
After a while, the little fox lay on the porch and began to hum a tune.
The little fox’s singing voice is very nice. Her voice is still the tender and crisp voice of a child. She sings “Awooo awooo”. There is no human language in the lyrics, but the tune is gentle and moving, with a melodious and clear taste.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s a nine-tailed fox, but as soon as she started singing, small animals began to poke their heads out of the woods and gathered around curiously.
Shao Yin was originally sorting the newly picked herbs with her head down. When she heard the tune of the little white fox, she was stunned and couldn't help but raise her head.
In fact, the little fox loved singing since she was a child. When she was still able to lie in a bamboo basket, she would often hum in an ignorant manner. As she grew older, the melody became clearer and clearer.
She had never taught the little white fox to sing any songs, but when she heard the tune of this song, she felt inexplicably nostalgic.
She couldn't help but ask, "Xue Li, where did you hear this song?"
"Woo?"
Little Xueli looked over and tilted her head.
Little Xueli couldn't remember where she heard it, but the melody often rang in her mind, which gave her a warm feeling, as if someone had held her in his arms and sung to her in a low voice in her ignorance.
Xiao Xueli thought about it carefully and replied, "I can't remember it. It seems to have always been in my mind, as if I have heard it a long time ago."
"… Yeah."
Shao Yin couldn't help but lose her concentration.
She looked out the window and saw that there were already several small animals in the corridor of the wooden house, including a little white deer, many little rabbits and sparrows.
They are all cubs, only the sparrow's wings are slightly fuller. None of them have any intelligence, they are just ordinary creatures.
At this time, they all looked at Xiao Xueli with inquiry and friendliness.
When they first came to the fairyland, Shao Yin checked it out inside and out. The fairyland was not very large, with only a forest and a stream. There was no one else except them, but there were some animals in the forest. The forest was not small, and there were both carnivorous and herbivorous animals. The ecology was not much different from the outside.
These little animals that came over were all born when they first entered the wonderland, and were about the same size as little Xueli.
I don’t know if it’s Shao Yin’s illusion, but when Xiao Xueli sings, they often come to listen, and they are becoming smarter and smarter, almost like they have gained intelligence.
Fawn even gave them presents last month.
Not only that, since Xue Li came to this fairyland, other creatures in the fairyland began to change.
The carnivorous beasts gradually stopped eating meat. In the first year, Shao Yin even saw a tiger hunting animals. After that, they started eating fruits.
The reproduction rate of animals in the forest has slowed down significantly, with fewer cubs born each year. Animals that should have multiple births often only have one child. Bird nests are often empty, occasionally with only one egg.
At the same time, the growth rate of the cubs that have been born has become very slow. Similar to little Xueli, these animals that were born about the same time as her are still in the form of cubs.
