Warm Fuzzies

Chapter 7

The little nine-tailed fox was just as pure and elegant as he had seen before. Her snow-like fur was shiny and glistening. A little white fox like this suddenly ran out from the sunlight and ran in front of him. Even Zi Lan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he understood a little bit about the beauty of the legendary nine-tailed fox that the wolf officer had mentioned.

Xueli was very happy to see the big snow wolf wake up. She jumped over and asked him, "Are you awake? Are you okay? Is there any discomfort in your wound?"

Zi Lan was stunned for a moment when he saw the little white fox suddenly run up to him and howl happily. Then, despite the effort, he still said politely, "I am... the son of the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen of the Ninth Heavenly Wolf Realm. My name is Zi Lan. May I ask where is this place? Are you the one who helped me heal my wounds?"

What Sydney saw at this moment:

Big Snow Wolf: "Awooo-Awooo-Awooo-Awooo-Awooo? Awooo-Awooo?"

Xueli: “?”

The wolf and the fox looked at each other for a while.

The white deer and rabbits around looked at them nervously.

After a while, Xueli turned to the others and said, "This wolf... doesn't seem to be able to speak?"

This shouldn't have happened. Just now she felt a very strong immortal energy coming from this wolf, much stronger than the white deer and the little rabbits, and even stronger than her aunt who was a mortal cultivator. It didn't make sense that this wolf couldn't speak even though it was so seriously injured and still had such a high level of cultivation.

But Xue Li didn't know much about the world outside the fairyland. She was not sure whether there were living beings out there that were full of fairy energy but unable to communicate, just like the fairy grass that could not open up spiritual consciousness.

Thinking about it this way, Xue Li was not sure whether this huge snow wolf was really intelligent.

The little rabbit at the side asked worriedly: "If he can't speak, is it possible that he can eat meat?"

Xueli said, "Don't worry, I'll try again."

Zi Lan watched the little nine-tailed white fox, a white deer and several rabbits whispering to each other, "Ahh" and "Woo", and frowned slightly.

This scene, in Zi Lan's eyes, was a completely different picture.

There are many kinds of star-controlling beasts in the Nine Heavens. Each beast has its own small fairyland in the lower fairyland in addition to its own fairyland in the Nine Heavens. Unlike the upper fairyland where all the beasts are of the same clan, the lower fairyland is inhabited by various spirit beasts and fairies. Occasionally, even foreign beasts will accidentally break in and slowly awaken their spirits in the fairyland.

The origins of the numerous star-controlling beasts, the timing of their deification and becoming immortals, and the reasons for their control of stars are all different. Their cultural languages are completely different, and it was difficult to get along with each other at first. The residents of each small fairyland naturally follow the main beast and speak the language of their main fairyland, so it is difficult for the fairylands controlled by different star-controlling fairylands to communicate.

The language these little animals were speaking was something Zi Lan had never heard before in the Ninth Heaven. He had been diligent and hardworking since he was young, and was gifted. Although he could not speak all the languages in the Ninth Heaven, he had heard most of them and could speak several of them. However, the language he heard now was different from any language he knew. It sounded a bit like the old language from thousands of years ago, and it was vaguely mixed with words from ancient languages.

The nine-tailed fox disappeared thousands of years ago, and during this period the language has changed dramatically. Five hundred years ago, the Nine Heavens selected the common language of the Nine Heavens, and not everyone in the lower fairyland can speak it now. If the one in front of him is really the nine-tailed fox that has been extinct for thousands of years, and he has really fallen into a fairyland ruled by the nine-tailed fox, it is normal that the people there cannot understand the common language.

Zi Lan has not yet recovered from the shock of having seen a nine-tailed fox.

In other words, he really knew very little about the situation he was in.

How come the nine-tailed fox is still alive

Where exactly is this place

How come this little nine-tailed fox is here alone? Is she the only one

Countless questions lingered in his mind, but when he lowered his head and saw the herbs that the little white fox brought to him, he was stunned again.

This was obviously something she had found specially for him. It was indeed the magical herb for healing wounds that Zi Lan had seen in the Wolf Realm. It seemed to have been dug from the mountain by the little fox himself. This fairyland did not look very prosperous, and it was unknown how much effort it would take to find such a magical herb for him.

A warm current flowed through his chest, and Zi Lan couldn't help but feel moved. Seeing this magical herb, it became clear who had patiently treated all the wounds on his body.

But the most urgent task is to find a way to communicate with the little white fox and the others.

Zi Lan thought for a moment, closed his eyes and looked for something on his body.

Faced with the language barrier between the fairylands, the Nine Heavens are not completely helpless.

Immortals and divine beasts naturally have their own ways of storing things, and Zi Lan soon found the elixir he wanted in his own divine realm.

This is the Tongyu Pill used for communication in the Nine Heavens. After taking it, people can understand each other even if they don't speak the same language. However, there are very few people in the Nine Heavens who don't know the common language. Zi Lan is not far from the Wolf Territory, so he doesn't have many opportunities to use it. He only has the pills he put in there a long time ago for emergency use. There are only three pills left in total.

It was obviously the most important thing to figure out the situation between him and the fairyland now. Zi Lan immediately took out one and let it appear directly in his mouth.

The Tongyu Pill melted in his mouth, and Zi Lan felt a sweet taste flowing through his throat. Then, the sounds coming into his ears changed immediately.

The little nine-tailed fox is talking to the white deer.

The white deer said, "Xue Li, do you really want to keep this wolf to heal its wounds?"

The little white fox said, "Yes! He is so badly injured, we can't just leave him alone, or he might die."

Zi Lan was stunned. He didn't expect to hear the little nine-tailed fox talking about him with the white deer after taking the Tongyu Pill. He was inevitably a little embarrassed. He had never been with girls since he was a child, because Han Bing couldn't leave home too far. He was a little reserved for a while.

But he still tried to speak again: "Hello, I am the son of the Wolf King and Wolf Queen of the Ninth Heavenly Wolf Realm. My name is Zi Lan. I ended up here by accident. May I ask where this place is?"

Xue Li was originally discussing with Bai Lu what to do next, but she didn't expect that the big snow wolf was so weak that it still managed to open its eyes and look at her, and called out "Awooo-Awooo-Awooo" a few times from its throat, and the sound sounded very similar to the previous one.

Xue Li tilted her head in confusion and blinked at him.

The white deer asked in confusion: "Why is this wolf still howling even though it is so badly injured? Is it feeling unwell?"

Xueli said: "I don't know, he seemed to be shouting like that just now, maybe he was feeling uncomfortable."

Zi Lan was slightly surprised when he heard their conversation. He thought that after taking the elixir, he would be able to communicate with the little foxes and the others. He could indeed understand their conversation, but their reactions to what he said were still as if they did not understand anything at all.

Xueli and Bailu didn't understand Xuelang's reaction and continued talking.

The white deer said, "But this is such a big wolf, and we don't know if it has any intelligence. If we leave it in the forest like this, wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

Xue Li thought for a moment and replied, "When he recovers and can move around, you can leave him at my house..."

The conversation suddenly came to an abrupt end here. When Zi Lan was listening to this, the little nine-tailed fox had only finished half of the sentence, and the rest of the sentence turned into an irregular "Awooo Awooo".

Zi Lan was caught off guard and the conversation was interrupted, which was even more unexpected, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

He never expected that the effect of Tongyu Pills would be exhausted after just a few words.

Normally, in the Ninth Heaven, the effect of a Tongyu Pill would last for at least one day. However, in this place, it was not even effective enough to drink a cup of tea, but only lasted for three or four short sentences.

Not only that, the Tongyu Pill should be able to enable conversations between people on both sides, but now it has become one-way and only he can understand it.

Zi Lan originally thought that although three pills were few, they were definitely enough to clarify all the basic problems, but such a sudden change caught him off guard.

Is it because of the special circumstances of the Nine-Tailed Fox Wonderland that only the person who takes the pill can understand what the other person is saying? Or is it that the pill is not suitable for the Nine-Tailed Fox

Zi Lan couldn't figure out the situation, but he didn't dare to use the pills rashly. He was in poor health and very weak. He had just arrived in a completely unfamiliar place, and his mind was not as clear as usual. The remaining two Tongyu pills suddenly became precious. Zi Lan didn't dare to use them indiscriminately in this situation, so he had to put them away and planned to use them at a critical moment. Although he only heard a few words just now, he was able to infer some information.

but…

It turns out her name is Xueli.

Zi Lan was distracted slightly.

Thinking of how the little nine-tailed fox had just said firmly that he could not be left here, and even told his friends that he was willing to let him live in his home, Zi Lan couldn't help but feel agitated, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart, which was both unexpected and touching.

He was at his most helpless and injured moment in history. At this time, someone could lend him a helping hand selflessly, which was like sending charcoal in the snow. Moreover, the little white fox was so determined. She didn't even understand his words and didn't know that he was the young master of the ninth heavenly wolf realm, but she was willing to heal his wounds, find herbs for him, and fight for him from his friends.

He didn't know any girls his age, and no girl had ever done anything like this for him.

Zi Lan was both confused and shy. He knew that the other party probably didn't have any special thoughts, but he couldn't help feeling at a loss and cast a grateful look at Xue Li.

Xueli didn't notice the Snow Wolf's gaze. She was still explaining to the White Deer seriously, "... If we let him live in my house, it will be convenient for treatment and you don't have to worry too much. If we confirm that he is not dangerous, after his injuries are healed, we can let him find a cave in the forest and let him live there. It won't cause any trouble."

After hearing what she said, the white deer knew that she had her own ideas and was not afraid of the huge wolf. So although the white deer was concerned about Xueli, he still nodded and said, "Well, if there is anything you need our help with, you must tell me."

"Oh! I know."

Sydney wagged her tail.

As she spoke, Xue Li remembered that she had not given the herbs that she was supposed to feed to the snow wolf yet, so she lowered her head, pushed the herbs to his mouth, and gently touched him with her little paw.

Zi Lan knew that this herb was to be taken orally, so he opened his mouth and took it.

Xue Li originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to make the wolf understand what she meant, and she had already prepared herself to take a bite first to signal her intention. However, she did not expect that the wolf would eat it so easily, and was instead surprised.

Zi Lan's injuries were not optimistic. Even after being bandaged, it was already his limit for him to stay awake until now. After he finished taking the herbs, he felt sleepy and closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

After Zi Lan fell asleep, Xue Li still couldn't help but circle around him with interest.

In fact, it was not just Xueli. Other animals were also shocked when they first saw such a huge alien creature. It was just that their fear and vigilance outweighed their curiosity, so they were unable to take a good look at it before.
