confusion.Suddenly, the miss lady let out a soft exclamation: "I get it!!""What do you understand" asked the cousin."What he meant was, if one matter is not discovered, it might affect other matters....Chapter 269 A Lifetime of Waiting (1)
"This seems to be real, not an illusion!" Xianyun came to a conclusion.
If someone else heard this conclusion, they would find it quite absurd and wouldn't understand what Xianyun was thinking. Of course, this is real; how could it possibly be an illusion
However, if Xianyun were to hear such thoughts, he would probably say that in the middle of nowhere, finding a small courtyard like this feels eerie, almost as though one has encountered a fox spirit. And since there's someone here in the small courtyard, they might just be a manifestation of the fox spirit.
Of course, Xianyun is aware that these are all stories, but the situation fits so perfectly; it’s no wonder he would suspect as such!
"What are you doing"
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Xianyun's ear. At the same time, a person appeared beside him, an exceptionally handsome youth who left quite an impression due to his sharp ears.
That’s right; this handsome youth had somewhat unique and sharper-than-normal ears. Either he was a particularly exceptional human or...
"A fairy"
"..."
This attractive young man stared at Xianyun for quite some time before saying coolly, "You are an interesting person; you said I was a fairy upon meeting me. But to be honest, you were right—I am a demon.
It was now Xianyun’s turn to remain silent. He had just blurted out the word 'fairy,' but since the other party confirmed that they are a demon, a demonic entity who can transform into human form usually has at least an Emperor-level strength. If they wished to kill him and cover up their tracks, he would be in trouble.
Although this was a remote area, it’s abnormal for a demon to be here. If the demon feared being discovered, such possibilities could occur.
However, what Xianyun cared about now wasn’t whether this place is normal or not; rather, he wondered why a demon would be here!
"Do you find it strange that I am here as a demon I will give you an answer. But standing like this is rather silly. Why don’t we go inside and talk" The handsome young demon smiled.
His smile could surely captivate many girls and even make some men心動, but Xianyun felt nothing; he had no such interest.
Upon the youth’s invitation, Xianyun entered this small courtyard. Having come so far, it would be troublesome to leave now anyway. Perhaps staying here might be better, as demons aren’t necessarily violent beings.
When Xianyun stepped into the room and saw what was before him, he froze for a moment and then said irritably, "I can't believe you, little glutton! You've already started eating!"
"Eat eat!"
Inside the house was a table piled with food; Eat Eat was buried in this pile of food. If it weren’t for Xianyun’s sharp eyesight, he wouldn't have even seen her.
"She is your companion Very adorable and has great potential!" The young demon smiled as if they were old friends.
Xianyun guessed that the reason this youth was being so courteous to him might be because Eat Eat is his kind. His attitude towards Eat Eat seemed very affectionate.
From what the young demon said, he referred to Eat Eat as Xianyun’s companion rather than a pet as others would say, and there lies the difference.
In addition, it was easy to understand that she is cute, but why did he mention having great potential Is it true then that all demons who sign contracts with humans have greater potential
"Potential" Xianyun asked directly about his confusion. "I don’t see any potential in this little glutton!"
"Eat eat!" Eat Eat jumped up to protest and resumed eating among the food.
“Haha, your relationship is truly enviable!” said the young demon.
Xianyun shrugged his shoulders. "What’s there to envy She just won’t leave me alone."
"Eat eat!" Eat Eat protested again and continued eating her food.
“Being able to stick with someone is a kind of happiness, too; I should have stuck with you back then…” the young demon’s eyes glazed over as he seemed lost in thought.
Xianyun didn’t disturb him but only observed the room. The furnishings were simple yet very tidy and comfortable to look at.
Considering that this was a demon's residence, it felt too human-like; perhaps there are other humans living here as well
"My surname is Chen, my name is Xi, Chen Xi. What’s yours" the young demon suddenly asked.
Xianyun paused and replied, "I am Xianyun, my surname is Yue, Yue Xianyun. Did you choose your own name"
Generally speaking, while demons have names, they are mostly named after natural elements from the universe rather than having surnames. The fact that this demon has a surname is quite unusual.
"I have a story to tell you. Once upon a time, there was a girl..."
Xiaoyao fell silent. Hearing the beginning of this story, he realized that it was about himself. It might be the reason why his mind wandered earlier and also the origin of his name.
"This girl was kind and beautiful. One day, she entered a forest where she encountered an injured little fox..."
The story continued with the little girl's overflowing kindness as she saved the little fox, took it home to care for it until its recovery, and they lived happily together. The little fox then left because of certain circumstances but couldn't bear to part from the girl, leading them to miss each other deeply...
Xiaoyao guessed that he had heard this story somewhere before, which turned out to be true. However, this was just the beginning and not what Xiaoyao expected.
The reason why the little fox left was because it was a spirit beast that needed to return for its修煉傳承。原本以為這次離開不會太久，於是小女孩和小狐狸約定，小女孩會在一個地方等它回來。
冇想到這一彆就是數百年之久，而小女孩的生命卻冇有那麼長，早已離開了人世。
當小狐狸歸來時發現這一點後感到無比悲痛，後悔當初為什麼要離開，冇想到一彆就成為永訣。
更讓小狐狸悲痛的是，那個小女孩一直在一個地方等待它的迴歸，直到生命的最後一刻...
"This place is here. This stone records her whole life, and these things were built by her!" At this moment, Chen Xi from the妖族had already led Xiaoyao to the courtyard, staring blankly at a huge rock in the middle of it.
Initially, Xiaoyao thought that this rock was just for decoration. Now he knew otherwise; this stone had its own story written on it, with some small inscriptions carved into it.
When Xiaoyao saw these words, his entire being froze. Perhaps at first, he felt the story cliché, but upon seeing these little words, only gratitude and a deep emotional touch filled his heart.
As Chen Xi said, here was recorded the life of that little girl, her feelings as she waited for the little fox's return, despite never receiving any response. She remained hopeful without any disappointment or despair, believing in their promise wholeheartedly.
These small words were like melodious heartbeats,震撼著每一個看著它們的人，包括逍遙。
現在，逍遙彷彿看到了當初小女孩和小狐狸相遇的情景，看到了小女孩守候在這裡慢慢變老直到死去，始終帶著微笑與期盼，相信總有一天能在這個地方看到小狐狸。
這是多麼令人感動的畫麵，就連一個外人都如此動容，可想而知當事人的感受……
或許，這小女孩的一生還有其他的牽絆，有自己的家庭，但這絲毫不會減少這份感動。讓人感動的不需要太多，隻要一件事一段感情就已經足夠了。
當然，逍遙也知道這個當事人是誰，眼前的陳曦——
"And I am that little fox!" Chen Xi gazed at the starry sky, recalling the girl's face. Although it had been many years since then, her visage was still clear in his mind as if it were yesterday.
Clearly, after all these years, Chen Xi had continued to guard this place without leaving!
"How long have you been here" Xiaoyao asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know. To me, every day is the same." Chen Xi replied calmly.
Every day was the same...
Xiaoyao seemed to understand Chen Xi's meaning: for him, he would guard this place for his entire life; time no longer mattered.
"Judging by these inscriptions, at least a few hundred years have passed. You've been guarding here alone all this time" Xiaoyao was rather impressed. How many people could maintain such consistency over centuries, even if they were spirit beasts
Soon, Xiaoyao realized that the several hundred years did not fully encapsulate the timeline; it had been much longer!
"Yes, a few hundred years... It might have been longer. I remember recently saving an injured person; however, he didn't recognize my identity as a spirit beast. His name was Dugu Yidao." Chen Xi recalled.
“What! Dugu Yidao” Xiaoyao was shocked by the name.
"How so Do you know him" Chen Xi asked in surprise.
"I've heard of him. Does he carry a broken sword" Xiaoyao asked.
“Broken Sword It seems like it; his sword was snapped.” Chen Xi said, "Later on, he seemed to have領悟了一套劍法，叫不斷。”
"That's right! That’s him!" Xiaoyao nodded.
Dugu Yidao, although called ‘Yi Dao’, used a sword. The ‘one slash’ was part of his name rather than his preference; many people had misunderstood this...iful young girl who would dazzle everyone, if we were to talk about brightness, this kind of brightness might blind your eyes!Everything was perfect, from her actions to her gestures, every detail rev...
