Xue Li's whole body was stiff. After a moment, she jumped up high as she realized what was happening!

He licked me

Did he just lick me

Why does he lick me

Xue Li's head tilted slightly when she was licked.

Her face was full of confusion, and she jumped back and forth quickly on the spot, looking at the snow wolf in front of her in horror.

At that moment, she truly felt the fear of being eaten.

Of course Xue Li knew that the big snow wolf probably had no ill intentions.

But he was so big, much bigger than Xue Li and other small animals. He had the calm and deep eyes that are unique to wild beasts, as well as sharp teeth and claws. He moved very quickly, and the fairy aura on his body revealed a hint of power. When he leaned over to lick her just now, Xue Li didn't even react!

If the snow wolf really wanted to eat her, it might just swallow her in one gulp.

For the first time, Xue Li realized so clearly that the size difference between the snow wolf and herself was so huge. If she was not in the fairyland and was just an ordinary little fox without a nine-tailed fox, she would probably have no power to resist.

Xue Li was so scared that she ran around everywhere.

Zi Lan watched the little nine-tailed fox run around shyly after being licked by him. He felt a little embarrassed himself and turned his head to the side embarrassedly and wagged his tail.

Zi Lan certainly didn't expect that just licking the pear would scare the little fox so much.

Licking each other's fur is a very normal way for animals to express affection or intimacy, not just between men and women. Licking fur can also be used to express family affection, friendship, or simply to express gratitude and love.

It wasn't just Zi Lan who licked Xue Li this time. Xue Li herself would often lick the white deer and rabbits. Sometimes she would even roll around on the grass with other small animals. So what Zi Lan was thinking at this moment was, it shouldn't be too much for him to lick Xue Li in this situation, right

He and the little nine-tailed fox have been together for such a long time that they should be in a relationship where they can lick each other's fur.

It was normal for him to lick the pear now. It shouldn't make the little nine-tailed fox aware of his feelings immediately, right

When Zi Lan licked her just now, there was indeed an impulsive factor involved. He felt a little annoyed when he thought about it now.

It's not that he doesn't want to confess, but now is obviously not the right time. They have only known each other for a short time, and he doesn't know whether the little nine-tailed fox likes him or not. If he expresses it directly now, it seems like he is too eager.

Thinking of this, Zi Lan felt even more shy, and her face under the white hair felt a little hot.

He tried to straighten his expression again and reminded himself that he needed to repay the favor, that repaying the favor was his main purpose.

Zi Lan looked at the little nine-tailed fox seriously.

At this moment, Xueli jumped around wildly for a long time, and finally calmed down from the shock of being licked.

She danced so much that her legs became weak and she looked at the snow wolf with trembling hands. She saw the big snow wolf standing there majestically with a focused expression.

Xue Li calmed down a little. She comforted herself, it was just a lick, just like being licked by a rabbit. The big snow wolf must have just wanted to get close to her. Even if he grew a little bigger, he didn't look like he wanted to eat her at all.

Xue Li forced herself to calm down, and then turned the topic back to the cave, asking: "So, do you like this cave? If you are interested in this cave, you can stay here for a night and try it. Although you are not fully recovered yet, your movements are basically unaffected. It should be no problem for you to sleep outside alone for a night."

The Snow Wolf's injuries healed quickly under Xue Li's careful care. It was not a big deal even if he ran and jumped a lot. If he wanted to try sleeping in the cave for a night, as long as he was careful, he would be fine. Xue Li could move his mattress and other things over.

In order to make the big snow wolf understand what she meant, Xue Li deliberately went over and pushed the snow wolf into the cave. Of course, her strength was too small and she couldn't push it in.

Then Xueli felt that this should have conveyed her message clearly, so she left the snow wolf in the cave and started to walk out. She thought that if the snow wolf was still satisfied with the cave, she would probably stay.

However, Zi Lan just thought that the little nine-tailed fox ran over and rubbed against him. Then he saw the little nine-tailed fox walking out of the cave. Naturally, he thought that the little nine-tailed fox didn't want to play anymore, so he followed it.

"Ouch?"

Xue Li was stunned for a moment when she saw the big snow wolf following her without even thinking.

She said, "Don't you like this hole? Don't you want to stay here for a night and try it out?"

Zi Lan looked at Xue Li turning around and howling at him, tilted his head in confusion, and then answered her: "Awoo-?"

A wolf and a fox looked at each other.

Xue Li's heart skipped a beat.

In Xue Li's opinion, this cave was really perfect. Even if the Snow Wolf was still dissatisfied with something, he should not follow her without any consideration.

Xue Li suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Xueli has lived in the fairyland for a long time. In the fairyland, except for her and Aunt Shaoyin, all the animals cannot transform into human bodies. They live in caves or nests according to their original habits. Aunt Shaoyin is a mortal who practices cultivation and has no original form. It can be said that Xueli has never encountered an animal that can transform into a human body except herself. Therefore, even though she vaguely realized that the big snow wolf should have a strong fairy spirit before it was injured, she never thought that he could transform into a human body, and never thought that this wolf did not live in a cave.

Xueli tried to run back to the hole and continued to explain.

She rolled on the ground, then lay down, pretending to sleep, and then pushed the snow wolf into the cave, prompting: "Woo!"

Then the Snow Wolf just looked at her quietly. When he saw Xue Li return to the cave, he followed her in.

Xue Li stood up and walked out again.

Seeing this, the Snow Wolf also slowly walked out.

Xueli pricked up her ears and finally realized something was wrong.

It seemed that the wolf had never thought of treating this cave as his home. He just followed her simply.

Then, then he wouldn't have thought about moving out in the future, but instead planned to live with her forever, right

Xueli showed a surprised expression.

It was too difficult to keep this big snow wolf at home all the time, and her aunt was not at home at the moment, so she had not yet obtained her aunt's consent. Although her aunt never restricted her from interacting with her friends in the forest, she also did not say that she could keep other people's small animals at home on her own initiative!

Xueli's mind was a little confused, she realized it too suddenly, and she couldn't sort out the clues for a while. But she looked at the wolf sitting on the ground in front of her and waited for her obediently. Thinking that both of them hadn't eaten lunch yet, Xueli couldn't bear to let the big snow wolf sit here and wait for her. After struggling for a while, she stood up and led the big snow wolf back home, planning to think about it slowly tomorrow.

However, starting from the second day, Xue Li found that things were becoming increasingly wrong.

She got up from the bed as usual, with her tail tucked up and stretching. But as soon as she ran out of the room, she found that Snow Wolf had already arranged for her the things she usually needed in the morning.

He brought out breakfast, a cloth towel, a wooden basin, and even a medical box and placed them next to the wolf's den.

The big snow wolf sat in the middle of the room, looking at her obediently.

Xueli: "Ouch?"

She washed, dressed and ate as usual in a daze.

Then after breakfast, the big snow wolf began to follow her silently.

Xue Li didn't think anything was wrong at first. After all, they ate breakfast together and their activities were very small, so there was nothing wrong with staying together all the time.

However, not long after, she wanted to go to the forest to look for any fresh spiritual fruits that could be picked to make elixirs, so she went into the forest with a basket in her mouth, and the big snow wolf followed her quietly without saying a word.

Normally in situations like this, Sydney would come to the forest alone.

On the one hand, the big snow wolf had been in poor health before and had to lie in its den most of the time to recuperate. On the other hand, after her aunt went out, Xue Li had been collecting herbs alone. She was very familiar with the fairyland, and other people didn't recognize the herbs, so there was no need for someone to accompany her.

Because she was very concerned about the big snow wolf behind her, Xue Li couldn't help but look back from time to time.

At this time, Zi Lan was indeed following Xue Li.

After he made up his mind yesterday, he decided to repay the favor to the best of his ability.

During this time, Guang Zilan lived in the fairyland and gradually discovered that there were far more animals without intelligence than those with intelligence. Many of them were ferocious beasts that lived deep in the fairyland and would rarely come out to listen to Xue Li singing.

They grew much bigger than ordinary beasts in the mortal world under the nourishment of the fairyland's aura. Although these beasts basically stopped hunting and preying due to the changes in the fairyland, they were still unintelligent beasts after all, and were not as peaceful as the small animals that were born to eat plants. Zi Lan was worried that they might scare the little nine-tailed fox when they were angry, so when she saw Xueli go out, she followed silently, to protect Xueli and to warn other ferocious animals not to get close.

When the animals in the forest see a wolf as big as Zi Lan, of course they won’t approach easily.

Zi Lan was quite satisfied.

However, this situation seemed very strange to Xue Li.

She walked in the forest with a basket of spiritual fruits in her mouth, and the big snow wolf followed her silently.

She walked to the left, and the big snow wolf followed her to the left.

She walked to the right, and the big snow wolf followed her to the right.

Xue Li tried to turn her head back, and then she found that the big snow wolf had been waiting for her there for a while, so she turned her head back and followed silently.

Xueli was a little confused as to why he was following her, and was wondering if he was out for a walk and was just passing by.

In order to find out what was going on, Xue Li thought about it and suddenly ran forward quickly, dragging her tail!

She wanted to try to see if the big snow wolf was following him.

“Ouch!”

Xue Li looked back while running.

This way he shouldn't catch up, right

The big snow wolf behind her seemed not to have expected her sudden acceleration. It stood there in a daze, and in a blink of an eye, it was left a long distance behind by Xue Li.

When Zi Lan saw Xue Li suddenly running without any warning and ran so far in an instant, he was indeed stunned for a moment.

But he immediately started thinking flexibly.

Why did the little nine-tailed fox suddenly run so fast

Is there anything ahead

Did she want to play with him

When Zi Lan thought of this, and then saw the little nine-tailed fox looking back at him while running, he immediately understood.

The little fox must be trying to compete with him to see who can get home first!

Zi Lan pricked up his ears in excitement! He looked calm, but his tail couldn't help wagging.

Wolves fight in groups, and although the lone wolves of the Snow Wolf clan are as capable of fighting as other beasts, they still have the instinct to compete and play with their companions. When Zi Lan saw the little fox actually invited him to run together, he couldn't help but feel indescribably excited.

“Ooooooooooo!”

Zi Lan howled to the sky, and then instantly spread his legs and rushed out nimbly like an arrow!

However, Xue Li only heard an excited wolf howl behind her, followed by a series of "boom boom boom" sounds, and it was getting closer and closer at an alarming speed. It sounded like a herd of cattle were chasing her!

Xue Li was startled by the sound and turned around subconsciously. Then she saw an extremely tall snow wolf spreading its four legs at an extremely fast speed, approaching her aggressively at a terrifying speed, and was about to catch up with her!

“Oooooh, oooo???”

Xue Li was immediately frightened and let out a miserable "owl". Her mind went blank as she looked at this horrifying scene. She didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly accelerated, rushing forward for her life!

Xue Li: "Ahhh! Ahhhh! Don't come over here, ahhhhh!"

Zi Lan: "Awooo-Awooo-Awooo!"

The big snow wolf was chasing her happily from behind!

A fox and a wolf ran like crazy!
