Xue Li ran wildly towards home for a long time because a wolf was chasing her. She did not dare to stop when she saw her own cabin, but turned a corner and continued running.
Of course Zi Lan thought that she kept running because she hadn't run enough, and she chased her even more happily.
This fierce race was in full swing and the scene was exciting.
The snow wolf ran very fast, but the nine-tailed fox was not slow either, and the little nine-tailed fox had a strong desire to survive. The closer the snow wolf got, the harder she rushed, creating a situation of equal strength. She almost cried when she ran to the back.
As a result, the two of them ran around the wonderland three times.
Xueli couldn't run anymore and finally slowed down. She fell to the ground with a "woop", and spread out dejectedly like a fox blanket.
Xue Li gave up on herself.
The wolf can chase as much as it likes.
She doesn't want to run away.
“Woo—?”
When the Snow Wolf saw Xue Li stop, he also slowed down his pace, circled around the collapsed little nine-tailed fox, and touched her with his nose worriedly.
The snow wolf tilted its head and looked at him asking, "Don't you want to play anymore?"
Xueli replied weakly: "Ahhh..."
The snow wolf looked at the little fox with heartache.
In fact, Zi Lan was quite surprised that the play would develop to this point today. He originally thought that the little nine-tailed fox would not run very fast, but unexpectedly, Xue Li could run much faster than he thought. You know, although Zi Lan had been sick since he was a child, he was the son of the wolf king and the divine body of the snow wolf. After more than ten years of hard training, he was considered very strong among the divine beasts of the same generation.
Zi Lan was quite surprised that Xue Li could compete with him for three full laps at this speed.
He looked at the little nine-tailed fox lying on the ground exhausted with admiration. He lowered his head and licked the back of Xueli's neck soothingly to help her breathe and rest.
“Ouch!”
When Xue Li saw the wolf head coming so close, she couldn't help but turn over and slap the wolf's fur with her paws to express her anger and dissatisfaction.
At the same time, she couldn't help but look at the big snow wolf in front of her with surprise.
This wolf's physical strength was too good. After running for such a long time, she had already fallen down, but the wolf looked fine, not even out of breath, as if it could continue to run for a long way. It was even injured.
But even so, Xueli still felt a little aggrieved after running for so long, and couldn't help but stretched out her claws and struggled to slap twice.
Xue Li was afraid of hurting him, so she didn't hit him hard. Zi Lan felt that her strength was even smaller, so it was just like a light touch. It was completely like Xue Li was comforting him.
Zi Lan felt warm in his heart and went over to lick her again.
Sydney: “…”
Xueli knew that the wolf didn't understand what she meant and probably had no ill intentions, but this time it really scared her, so Xueli didn't want to be too angry with him.
Xue Li looked at the big snow wolf's clear and concerned eyes, and gradually she stopped being angry.
At this time, her physical strength gradually recovered. Xueli adjusted her breathing, stood up from the ground, and said, "Let's go back and think about what to do next when we get home..."
Xueli said as she stood up.
But she had been running for so long, it was impossible to say that she had no reaction at all. It was fine when she was lying down, but as soon as Xue Li stood up, she found that her four fox feet were soft and her four paws were shaking, and she couldn't even stand steadily.
She took a few steps with difficulty, swaying from side to side.
Zi Lan watched the little nine-tailed fox take firm steps from the side. He really couldn't bear to see the little nine-tailed fox walk back like this.
Since he decided to repay her, of course he would help her as much as possible.
So Zi Lan slowly walked forward, went behind Xue Li, gently bit the back of her neck, and picked her up in one bite.
"Ouch?!"
Xue Li never thought that she could be picked up in the mouth. She was suddenly caught off guard and her four feet were off the ground. She opened her eyes wide in shock.
She looked at the big snow wolf in fear.
But Zi Lan did not notice Xue Li's reaction, because he was holding a little fox in his mouth. Zi Lan walked more carefully than usual, for fear of bumping her. But if you look closely, you can still see the lightness in his steps.
Zi Lan carefully brought Xue Li back home and put her on the bed.
Xue Li stepped onto the soft bed and finally felt at ease.
She stomped her feet on the bed, then hooked a small rag doll on the bed with her tail, rubbed it in her arms, and lay down comfortably with her eyes closed.
But after a while, Xueli seemed to remember something. She suddenly jumped up from the bed, turned around anxiously, and found that there was nothing around her. She looked panicked and cried anxiously.
The little fox's expression was really easy to understand. Her tail was drooped, her ears were drooped, and she looked anxious and like she was about to cry.
Xueli was about to jump under the bed.
Zi Lan quickly stopped her.
Zi Lan almost understood what the little nine-tailed fox was doing. She was probably looking for the basket she had taken out before. The basket contained the spiritual fruits and herbs she had picked from the forest that morning.
They were racing so hard just now that Xue Li's basket fell down at some point, and she was so focused on the snow wolf that she didn't even notice it.
Zi Lan said, "You can't walk anymore, just rest at home first, I'll go out and help you find it."
Zi Lan looked at Xue Li and gestured to her several times repeatedly, until Xue Li seemed to understand and went back home, then he got up and went out.
Zi Lan walked back along the path they had taken before, and soon found the fallen basket of herbs by the side of the trail.
The spiritual fruits were scattered all over the ground, but fortunately they didn't roll too far.
Zi Lan simply picked up the fruits and took them back to find Xue Li.
Xue Li was waiting anxiously on the bed. When she saw the big snow wolf bring the basket back in its original state, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Li let out a low "wooo" and ran over to put the snow wolf in the basket beside her bed, curling up against it and rubbing it in surprise.
Then she quickly picked out the fruits and checked them one by one to see if any of them were broken.
Zi Lan could see that Xue Li attached great importance to the herbs she picked.
Because he had been ill since childhood and had to take medicine since he was young, he had a lot of contact with the medical immortal. He had heard the medical immortal say before that the details of making many immortal medicines were very complicated and demanding, and the requirements for medicinal materials were also very high. If there was just a slight difference, the effect might not be as expected.
The little nine-tailed fox was obviously extremely careful. He looked at each one very carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems with them all.
Seeing that the little nine-tailed fox seemed to have finished the inspection, the snow wolf felt relieved, took the basket away for her, and walked out of the room.
Xue Li was stunned when she saw the big snow wolf take away her basket. She was relieved just now because the fruits were fine, but she was shocked again and raised her tail in confusion.
…
Xue Li had injured her muscles from running so hard that day, so she had to rest for a while. However, the behavior of the big snow wolf in the past two days sounded a wake-up call for her, making her full of doubts and forcing her to think more.
So when Bai Lu came to play with Xueli that day, he saw Xueli, a little nine-tailed fox, lying miserably on the bed with its four paws so tired that it could not move, but its face was still serious, as if it was lost in worry and thought.
Bai Lu was startled by Xueli's appearance and asked, "What happened? Why do you look so worried?"
Xueli said solemnly: "I wonder if this wolf can't move out..."
"ah?"
Bai Lu didn't know the whole story and looked at her in confusion.
Xue Li then told him everything that had happened in the past two days.
Xue Li has been thinking about the future residence of the big snow wolf in her mind recently.
Her original plan was to let the big snow wolf live in the forest by himself after he recovered from his injuries, but this snow wolf was now too close to her.
Wherever she goes recently, wolves follow her; if she needs something, the wolves will bring it to her; even when she goes out to drink water, the big snow wolf will quietly guard her not too far away, just like a white shadow that will never leave her side.
Xue Li never expected that the big snow wolf would be so clingy.
The current situation was as if the snow wolf had already treated her as a family member or something else. Xue Li was worried that the wolf would really follow her and plan to live with her. It was not that she was unwilling to live with the snow wolf, but it was too difficult to keep such a big wolf in a small wooden house for a long time, and she had not anticipated this situation before.
However, now it seems that the wolf has no intention of leaving.
Thinking of this, Xue Li couldn't help but let out an "Ah!" in annoyance and rolled over twice on the bed.
Bai Lu was also surprised when she heard Xueli's description. She asked, "Does the wolf have no interest in choosing a cave? Does it have no intention of living there?"
Xueli shook her head worriedly.
The white deer couldn't believe that there was an animal that had no interest in such a nice cave. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Could it be that the snow wolf has some other habits that make it unaccustomed to living in a cave?"
Xue Li had considered this issue before, but seeing that Snow Wolf was willing to live in her house as long as she laid a mat, she felt that the possibility was not high.
She shook her head again: "I don't know, but I don't think so."
Bai Lu could only look at Xue Li with sympathy: "Then I don't know what other reasons there are. He might really be following you."
"Ah..."
When Xue Li heard the answer, she lay down dejectedly.
Bai Lu found her appearance funny.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it was Xue Li who treated the big snow wolf's injuries at the beginning, and later it was Xue Li who had been taking care of him. Wolves are a species with a strong sense of family and group, and it is said that they are also very affectionate. After Xue Li took care of him like this, it is not surprising that the big snow wolf would regard her as a companion and follow her.
Thinking of this, Bai Lu's heart moved.
She said, "If it really doesn't work, why don't you just let him live here forever! Although we have been helping Snow Wolf find a new home, he has grown so big after all, and everyone is still a little afraid of him. It is most reassuring for him to live with you."
"But my aunt is not here now, and I haven't told her anything yet. Besides, such a big wolf..."
Xueli moved her paws, hesitant about the current situation.
Besides, she was not sure that her guess was correct. Maybe the Snow Wolf simply did not understand what she meant.
Bai Lu understood Xue Li's dilemma. She looked at Xue Li with concern, pondered for a while, and said considerately, "How about this? I'll go back and discuss it with the others. We can help find a suitable cave during this period. Maybe the cave just doesn't suit the Snow Wolf's taste. We can just try a few more times. Anyway, there are still more than ten days left before the one-month deadline! Xue Li, you can slowly think of a solution."
"Yes! Thank you."
At the moment, it seems that we can only try another way. Xue Li was very grateful to Bai Lu for coming to discuss the matter with her, and wagged her tail at her embarrassedly.
"You're welcome!"
The white deer jumped twice with its front hooves in joy.
She said, "Then I'll go find someone else first!"
"Be careful on the road!"
The white deer waved its short tail happily at Xueli and hopped away.
Xue Li watched the white deer leave, and after the white deer's figure disappeared in the bushes, she looked out the window elsewhere.
The big snow wolf was not in the house at the moment. While she and the white deer were chatting in the house, the snow wolf was wandering alone outside the house.
He is actually very quiet when he is alone. He either lies down to rest or walks slowly, and sometimes he helps to put things away.
Seeing that Snow Wolf was still hanging around outside, Xue Li thought for a moment and felt that it was getting a bit boring just resting in bed, so she simply ran out and planned to start doing the homework left by her aunt.
Although Xueli didn't like eating radishes, she took most of what her aunt said seriously, especially when it came to medicine, which Xueli knew was very important.
The spiritual fruits she picked from outside today were specifically for her homework.
Xue Li ran to the cupboard and wanted to take down some fruit to grind the medicine, but she found that the fruit this time was the one that Xue Lang had put there before and was placed in a very high position.
It would have been fine for Xueli to jump up and grab it, but she had run so hard today that her four little paws were still trembling. She jumped a few times but it was too much of a stretch. After a pause, Xueli turned into a human form.
On the other side, Zi Lan knew that the little nine-tailed fox and the white deer were chatting in the house, so he waited patiently outside the house without going in to disturb them.
But at this moment, Zi Lan saw the little white deer coming out of the wooden house, and the little nine-tailed fox should be the only one left at home. Without hesitation, he immediately walked into the wooden house, intending to see how the little nine-tailed fox was resting.
Who knew that as soon as I stepped into the door, I saw the little nine-tailed fox jumping around in front of the shelf, trying to take something on the shelf, but couldn't reach it.
Zi Lan hurried over, ready to let the little white fox climb onto his head to get it, but before he could get closer, a faint light suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The little nine-tailed fox transformed into a human.
The little fox was no longer in the house, and the one waiting there was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
