This Xuanriyan fruit is about the size of a hand-held lantern, bright orange-red, oval, octagonal, with prisms at each corner and small burrs. If you lay it flat and look at it from the tip of the oval, the shape is a bit like a star, and a bit like a small orange sun with a flash.
When you put your hand on the surface of the Xuanri Yan Fruit, you can feel a unique warmth. It is not as scorching as the real sun, but it is enough to eliminate any degree of frost. It is always comfortable and just the right amount of warmth.
When the little tiger brother saw Xueli holding the fruit, he came over curiously, sniffed it with the tip of his nose, and tried to pick it with his claws. After discovering that the fruit was actually warm, he was so scared that he screamed "Ah!" and immediately flew away with his tail between his legs, and huddled in a corner, staring at it warily.
The more Xueli looked at the fruit, the happier she became.
She happily grabbed Zi Lan's wrist and asked him to put his hand on the Xuan Ri Yan Fruit, saying, "Feel it! Is it warm?"
Zi Lan paused slightly when he felt Xue Li's fingers touching his wrist, but immediately let Xue Li pull his hand to touch the Yan Guo.
Zi Lan's palm was guided by Xue Li to touch the Yan Guo, and he unconsciously widened his eyes slightly.
Zi Lan was born with a cold body due to the cold air entering his body, and there were few things that could truly make him feel warm. However, as soon as this small piece of fruit touched the palm of his hand, he immediately felt the warmth penetrating deep into his internal organs. It was not just the heat on the surface, but the warmth penetrated deeply into his breath, as if the coldness that had accumulated in his body for many years was melted away.
Zi Lan couldn't help but blurt out: "Very comfortable."
"right?"
Seeing that it seemed to be working miraculously, Xue Li's expression brightened.
"This should be just the right medicine for your cold. I will refine it and use it to dispel the cold evil hidden deep in your body and replenish the immortal energy damaged by the cold. Then I will use the snow melting technique to maximize the effect and you will be cured... Oh, right!"
Xue Li made the process sound very simple, but in fact it was much more complicated. But halfway through her speech, she seemed to suddenly think of something and showed a surprised expression.
The Xuanriyan Fruit given by Xinglin Peak is not just a fruit, there is also a small branch attached to the end of the fruit with two or three leaves. Perhaps the medical practitioners in the mortal world do not understand the use of this fruit, so they dare not touch it easily. It was preserved in the same state as the ancestor in heaven gave it to Xue Li.
Xueli decisively picked the fruit leaves, then took out a fist-sized sachet from her small brocade bag. Xueli poured out some of the spices in her sachet, folded the fruit leaves without damaging them as much as possible, carefully stuffed them into the sachet, and tied the bag tightly.
She handed the sachet bag to Zi Lan and said, "Here!"
Xueli said: "It will take a few days to refine the Xuanri Yan Fruit, but the leaves of the Yan tree are also effective in resisting body cold. Before that, you can hug this, it will also be warm!"
Xue Li spoke sincerely, and she really felt that she had come up with an idea.
However, Zi Lan looked dazed when she saw the sachet she handed to her.
He knew that this was something Xueli brought out from the fairyland. Most of the things she and Shaoyin Fairy used in the fairyland were made by themselves. The pattern embroidered on the sachet also looked like Xueli's needlework. She was not as proficient in embroidery as in medicine, but because her fingers were flexible and she was good at using medical needles, her flower embroidery was simple but very delicate.
Zi Lan couldn't help but ask: "Can you really give me this sachet?"
Xueli nodded generously: "Of course, this size is just right for holding leaves."
But she noticed that Zi Lan's expression seemed not quite right, he seemed to be staring at the sachet in a trance. Xue Li tilted her head unconsciously, thought about it, and saw that the sachet seemed a little old, and the edges of the sachet were frayed, then she suddenly realized.
Xueli said, "Do you think this sachet is a bit old? Sorry, I don't have another one of the right size... How about I ask the immortal officials here if they can find a newer one?"
"Don't-"
When Zi Lan heard Xue Li say this, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "No, I like this very much."
"real?"
"real."
Xue Li didn't quite understand why Zi Lan said that she liked such an old sachet very much, and blinked in confusion, but Zi Lan looked at the gift very happily.
After all, this was the first hand-sewn gift that Xue Li gave him, and it was a sachet that had some romantic connotations between men and women. This ambiguous feeling was better than anything else. Although he knew that Xue Li might not be aware of this way of expressing love between men and women by giving each other gifts, he couldn't help feeling happy.
He immediately hung the sachet around his waist.
Xue Li was right. The leaves of the Yan tree did have the effect of dispelling cold. Although not as obvious as the Yan fruit, as soon as he hung the sachet around his waist, he immediately felt the coldness in his body dissipated a lot.
Zi Lan was extremely delighted. He rubbed the surface of the sachet with his fingers and said, "Thank you."
He wanted to take out some token of love and hand it to Xueli right then and there, to signify their love for eternity. But when he thought about it, he had already given her the pair of swords, and he couldn't come up with anything decent right now. He was also afraid that it would be too grand and scare Xueli, so he paused and asked casually, "Is there anything you want? A comb? Or rouge and powder? I'll give it to you as a return gift for the sachet."
Xue Li didn't suspect anything and just thought that Zi Lan was afraid that she would not be used to the Ninth Heaven, so he wanted to give her something.
Xueli thought about it and said a little embarrassedly: "Well... I want new herbs, and if possible, I also want to eat peaches."
When talking about peaches, Xueli's ears swayed slightly, with a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Neither of these two requests was difficult to meet, and could even be said to be very simple, but they were a little different from Zi Lan's expected exchange of engagement gifts, which made him feel a little depressed. However, looking at Xue Li's expectant expression, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
Zi Lan had no choice but to say, "Okay."
Having said that, Zi Lan has decided that when he really brings the herbs and peaches to Xue Li, he will secretly bring in other things that can be preserved for a long time.
It was said that the Wolf Queen happened to come to see Xue Li and Zi Lan at this time. She had intended to greet them directly, but she happened to see Xue Li giving a sachet to Zi Lan and heard their conversation. She couldn't help but stop and simply listened outside the house. When she heard that Xue Li wanted peaches, the Wolf Queen couldn't help but chuckle, and as for her own son, the Wolf Queen could naturally guess what he was thinking and found it interesting.
So she couldn't help but laugh softly twice. As soon as Zi Lan finished speaking, she heard her mother's laughter coming from outside the door, and then she heard someone knocking on the door.
The door was half open, and the Queen Wolf knocked on the door and stepped in, saying with a smile: "Herbs and peaches, what's so difficult about that? If you want them, list the herbs and I'll have the Wolf Officer bring them to you in a while."
"real?"
Sydney surprise.
But then she looked at the Wolf Queen in confusion and asked, "Why is the Wolf Queen here?"
The Wolf Queen replied naturally, "I heard from the Wolf Officer that you and Lan'er have returned, so I came to see you."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, you will be living in the Wolf Palace for a long time. I want to personally take you around and let you get familiar with the environment."
"So that's how it is."
Xue Li answered with immediate understanding. Indeed, during the few days she stayed in the Wolf Palace, she had spent most of her time looking after Zi Lan and had never left the small garden, so she really didn't know the way.
The Queen of Wolves smiled and patted Zi Lan's shoulder: "Lan'er, it's almost time for you to ask the Medical Immortal to change the medicine. Go ahead and change the medicine. Leave the little nine-tailed fox to me. I will make sure nothing happens to her."
When Zi Lan heard that the Wolf Queen was going to take Xue Li for a walk, his first reaction was a little nervous. He subconsciously didn't want to let Xue Li out of his sight, but he was stopped by the news that the Wolf Queen was changing the medicine.
When Xueli heard that Zi Lan was going to change the dressing, she unconsciously wanted to run over and help him change it, but was stopped by the Queen of Wolves. The Queen of Wolves smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. Zi Lan has been taken care of by the medical immortals in the Ninth Heaven these days. Their medical skills are very good, and changing the dressing won't be a problem. You can take a rest today, we will be back soon."
Xue Li thought about it, and although she was a little reluctant to leave Wu Wu, since the Wolf Queen had said so, she nodded.
The Queen of Wolves happily took Xueli with her and took her around the Wolf Palace. It was actually impossible to tour the entire Wolf Palace in a short period of time, but I could briefly introduce a few places that were more important to Xueli.
"That's the main gate. If there are important guests coming, they will come in through there. You've walked past it several times, so you should know it."
"That is the main hall, where guests are often received and matters are discussed."
"That's the study room. The Wolf King and I usually handle official business there. If you need to find us urgently, you can go there."
"That's the Medical Hall. Most of the medical immortals usually stay there. In fact, ordinary guests don't often go here, but I thought you might be interested..."
The Wolf Queen took Xue Li to a high altitude and showed her several fairy palaces that Xue Li might want to know about. She then took her down to actually walk around and familiarize herself with the way. Although she might not remember it after one or two times, she would definitely become familiar with it as long as she stayed for a few more days.
But after introducing the Fairy Palace, the Queen of Wolves paused for a moment, her voice became more steady, and she said to Xueli, "By the way, Fairy Xueli, besides this, I have something else to tell you. Can you come with me to the study?"
Xueli also heard that the weight of what the wolf said was different from usual. Although she didn't know what it was, she nodded.
So the Wolf Queen took her to the study.
When she arrived at the study, Xue Li discovered that the Wolf King was there too, and when he saw her, he bowed to her.
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen gathered together just for her and said they had something to tell her. Xue Li couldn't help but become nervous and seemed to have tensed her back.
The wolf king said quickly: "Don't be too scared, sit down first."
Xueli sat down tremblingly.
Seeing her like this, the Wolf Queen also smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. We don't want to cause you any trouble. We just have something to explain to you. Come, have some snacks."
As she spoke, the Wolf Queen actually took some snacks from the table and gave them to her.
The Wolf Queen looked quite kind and always took good care of her. When Xue Li heard her say that, she relaxed a little.
But after getting to the point, the seriousness in the eyes of the Wolf Queen did not diminish. At this time, she paused and said, "We called you here this time to ask... Xueli, you are a nine-tailed fox, right?"
Xue Li had never hidden this fact, and she had even wagged her tail in front of the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen and many medical immortals. Not knowing what the Wolf Queen wanted to do by asking this, she could only nod while holding the snack.
The wolf queen sighed and said, "I won't hide anything from you. Let me get straight to the point... Xueli, you are the last nine-tailed fox we know of now."
Go ahead and tell me, the Wolf Queen took out the picture of the star beasts that was treasured in the study and unfolded it in front of Xue Li.
The author has something to say: The Wolf Queen: You are very endangered, do you know that? Be careful of poachers.
