Warm Fuzzies

Chapter 22

Views:

The girl in front of him was wearing a light-colored spring dress, embroidered shoes with flowers on her feet, and her long black hair cascaded down behind her like a waterfall.

She has nine snow-white fox tails trailing behind her, and pointed snow ears standing in her hair. Her skin is as white as the bright moon, her eyebrows are dark, and her almond-shaped eyes are clear and bright, as if containing starlight. She is untainted by makeup, but has a unique and elegant temperament. Her plain clothes cannot conceal her elegance, like a bright moon floating among light clouds.

Zi Lan was stunned.

Xueli was more comfortable getting along with the animals in her original form in the fairyland. Since her aunt went out, she was more used to running around in fox form. Although she sometimes had to transform into a human to do her aunt's homework, Xueli had to take care of the snow wolf's injury recently, so she was much busier during the day than before. Although she never slacked off on her homework, Xueli almost always did it secretly under the moonlight after late at night.

Zi Lan's injuries had not yet healed. At first, he was drowsy for most of the day. Although he has been better recently, he still needs to sleep longer than normal. The tonic medicine Xue Li gave him every night has a calming effect, and Zi Lan hardly wakes up at night. During this period of time, he almost forgot that the little nine-tailed fox could transform into a human body.

If you think about it carefully, this was actually the first time Zi Lan saw her in human form.

Xue Li was tiptoeing cautiously, with slender hands and light sleeves hanging down her arms. She took down the spiritual fruits she had picked in the morning from the shelf, and then selected herbs and medical tools one by one. When her eyes moved, her long and thick eyelashes were like the fluttering wings of a cicada.

Zi Lan somehow recalled the jokes that the Wolf Officer had casually mentioned in the Taoist room before leaving the Wolf Territory, as well as the picture of the star beast with a cross in it, which belonged to the nine-tailed fox.

The wolf officer said that before the Nine-tailed Fox clan disappeared for no reason, every member of the clan was a beauty more beautiful than the moon and the flowers. Now, the Jade Rabbit clan and the Pheasant clan can still argue about who is the most beautiful in the Ninth Heaven. In the final analysis, it’s just that no one has seen a Nine-tailed Fox.

Zi Lan was speechless.

He could not describe what he saw.

He felt that he was not a person who cared about appearance, and his liking for Xue Li was because she helped him in times of crisis, but even so, he was still caught off guard and shocked.

The combination of beauty and elegance is just right, with nine floating tails like fairy clouds. She is wearing very simple clothes, but she is so elegant and beautiful that she doesn't seem to be real in this world.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a transparent beauty in the world. Even in the ninth heaven, it makes people feel as if it is unreal.

Zi Lan has now really seen the nine-tailed fox with his own eyes, but if the wolf officer asks him about it after he returns, he is afraid that he will not know what words to use to describe it to him.

At this moment, the girl turned around with the things in her arms, noticed that it was Zi Lan who came in, and said with a smile: "You're back?"

Zi Lan heard the little nine-tailed fox in human form say something to her.

The beauty of fairy language lies in its mysterious rhythm and spirit, not in the sound. Therefore, after she turned into a human body, she no longer spoke in a woooo-woo sound. However, since Zi Lan did not understand the language in this fairyland, he naturally could not understand what Xue Li said. To him, the sound Xue Li made at this time was like the syllables of a string of wind chimes, ringing softly, and some of them sounded like the tones of ancient fairy language, but it was not a complete sentence and was difficult to understand.

She smelled faintly of herbs, just like she had when she was a little fox.

Zi Lan smelled the scent of Xue Li and suddenly became a little anxious.

He could roughly guess that the little nine-tailed fox was probably greeting him as usual.

He has seen Xueli's human form now, so Zi Lan feels that he should reciprocate and let Xueli see his human form as well. After all, he is pursuing the little nine-tailed fox, who has only seen his wolf form. If she doesn't see his human form, it may be difficult for her to have a further understanding and affection for him.

However, his spiritual energy had not yet recovered, and his wounds were still in the process of healing. Under such circumstances, he could not transform into a human form. Zi Lan was so anxious that he was turning around in circles.

"You have a beautiful body..."

Zi Lan moved his mouth and tried to explain: "But I can't transform into a human form yet. I will recuperate for a while, and when I can transform into a human form, I will show it to you as soon as possible."

Big Snow Wolf: "Awoo—Awoo—Awoo—"

Xueli: “?”

Xue Li didn't quite understand why the big snow wolf suddenly looked a little impatient.

She tilted her head, and her snow-white fox ears moved to the side with her movement, looking very confused.

But Xue Li didn't care about it for too long, as it was about time for her to start practicing.

She gathered the things in her arms, and sat down in her fixed seat with her medical tools and herbs.

Xue Li skillfully took out a few herbs, put them into the mortar, and crushed them. She lightly grabbed with her fingers and sprinkled a handful of petal-like dry herbs that had been prepared long ago. Then she opened a fresh spiritual fruit that she had picked specially today, took out the juice quickly, dripped it into the mortar, and then mixed it with the pestle and pounded it again.

Xue Li is very familiar with the materials and can tell the quantity just by touching it. She is very precise and doesn’t even need a scale.

Zi Lan was originally regretting that he could not transform into a human at this moment, but soon he was attracted by Xue Li's actions and could not help but look over.

The human body's operation on pharmaceutical production can naturally be much more precise than the original form. Even though Xue Li often likes to be lazy when it is not important and just use the original form to get things done, but when it really needs to be done seriously, she will definitely use the human body.

It was the first time that Zi Lan saw Xue Li perform her medical skills in person.

He watched her select and pound the herbs with natural and smooth movements, carefully handling each herb, using many small tools alternately, each tool having its own delicate and unique use. But Xue Li's skill in using them was beyond imagination, and every move was extremely quick and decisive, like flowing water and clouds.

When Xueli was practicing medicine, she felt a little different from the little white fur ball that usually jumped around.

Her expression was focused, and her almond-shaped eyes were always focused on the movements of her hands. Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows. Most of the time, Xue Li only moved her hands, with her body almost motionless. Only occasionally did she move back and forth as she carried something far away, and the ups and downs were very small.

In such scenes, although Zi Lan is an outsider, he can see that Xue Li's medical training is very good and unique. Many of her methods of using medicine or practicing are different from those of the medical immortals Zi Lan usually sees, but it is obvious that Xue Li's methods have been improved and are more sophisticated.

Thinking of this, Zi Lan became curious about Xue Li's master.

This small fairyland is so small and has great restrictions. To practice here, one still needs a lot of materials such as medicinal herbs and actual medical experience. It may be very difficult to train a disciple like Xue Li.

However, Zi Lan watched for a long time and could not see any clues. Instead, Xue Li had finished refining the medicine. She picked up the newly prepared medicine according to the different medicine papers and strings as usual, and then turned back into a little fox, squinting her eyes and shaking her fur comfortably.

Xue Li's process today was not difficult. If her claws were not so tired that she could not even jump, she could have done it directly using her fox body.

Zi Lan was originally watching her practice, and when he saw Xue Li finish so quickly and then regain her familiar fox form, he paused for a moment, then came to his senses and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Xueli's human body, he seemed to be more familiar with the fox body of the little nine-tailed fox. Especially since he couldn't transform into a human body yet, when Xueli stood in front of him, he didn't know how to get along with her.

At this moment, Zi Lan was looking at the soft and fluffy original form of the little nine-tailed fox with affection. The more he looked at it, the more adorable it was. If he wasn't afraid of appearing too eager in front of Xue Li, he would have wanted to lick it.

Zi Lan asked, "Does your foot still hurt? Do you want me to take you to your room to rest?"

"Oh?"

When Xue Li heard Zi Lan's howl, she didn't react for a moment and raised her head in confusion.

However, Zi Lan knew that she didn't understand, so when she saw the little fox standing there without moving, she assumed that she agreed, so she immediately lowered her head and bit her neck!

Sydney: “…”

The neck is a very vulnerable place. Although the back of the neck can be bitten, it is very scary to have a big wolf so close to her. Xueli's fur tensed up for a moment!

However, Zi Lan was completely unaware.

The force he used was very light, the lightest one possible. If it were a human, it would probably be like holding her in his chest with great tenderness, not even wanting to hurt her while hugging her.

Zi Lan carried Xue Li to the bed in her room and gently put her down.

After Zi Lan put it away, he told Xue Li, "You should have a good rest. I won't go far. If you need anything, call me."

Xue Li had no idea what these words meant, but she landed steadily, and her tense body finally relaxed.

She jumped happily on the bed, yelled a few words to Zilan, and then lay down comfortably.

Xue Li thought she had almost gotten used to living with the big snow wolf. Things like being licked or carried a few steps away should happen occasionally, and she just needed to get used to it.

Little did he know that Zi Lan's journey of repaying his gratitude had just begun.

The next day, in the afternoon, the breeze was warm and gentle, and Xueli felt that the sun was very comfortable, so she took out the mat from the house, spread it on the porch and took a nap.

But before long, the big snow wolf followed her.

He watched her sleep for a while, then watched the sunlight for a while.

Then the big snow wolf lay down on its side beside her, glanced at the little fur ball sleeping peacefully on the mat, and then used its claws to pull her into its own fur.

Xue Li suddenly woke up: "???!!!"
