"You care about me so much, how could I bear to let you die?"

Zhang Yan came up to Meng Qingyin and spoke in a frivolous tone.

Meng Qingyin couldn't help herself and punched him in the face: "Just talk, why are you standing so close to me?"

Zhang Yan covered his face and looked at her in disbelief: "You woman, you really are... How could you have the heart to do that to such a handsome face of mine?"

Meng Qingyin sneered: "If you come up to me again next time, it won't be as simple as just a fist."

Zhang Yan was annoyed: "I understand. I won't get so close to you next time. Is that okay?"

He rubbed his face and said, "You, woman, hit me too hard. My face is swollen..."

Meng Qingyin didn't want to say more to him, so she turned around and left.

Back on the original road, Meng Qingyin began to think about "no feeling".

This poison is as deadly as strychnine.

This further strengthened her guess that "insensibility" was most likely obtained through the use of abilities.

How many powerful props like this does Zhang Yan have?

…

At night, Meng Qingyin had another dream. In the dream, she returned to her childhood.

[White Fox] was in the room, quietly waiting for her.

Seeing her coming, it said casually: "I guess you have a lot of questions to ask me, ask."

Meng Qingyin immediately said, "Regarding the cub, Master Meng Er said that the moment I signed the contract with the cub, its soul entered the divine beast egg. But I clearly didn't make a contract with the cub, and... the timing is just too coincidental."

The [White Fox] nimbly walked up to her, jumped into her arms and found a comfortable position before saying, "Yes, I did it."

"When the last Taotie died, I extracted its soul and raised it, waiting for the right opportunity."

"That drop of your blood is the contract. The moment your blood dripped into the divine beast egg, I released the Taotie's soul, allowing it to parasitize the divine beast egg. From that moment on, your contract was officially established."

Meng Qingyin's guess was correct. It was the White Fox that played a role.

"You can actually extract, preserve and release the soul?" Such power is too terrifying.

[White Fox] explained: "We, the White Fox clan, are born with a keen sense of perception and smell of spirits."

Meng Qingyin stroked its fur. "But why did you do this? Why did you put Taotie's soul into the divine beast egg and let it form a contract with me?"

Ever since she knew that the White Fox posed no threat to her, Meng Qingyin was no longer afraid of it.

It looked so much like the little white cat she had when she was a child that she couldn't help but pet it as if it were a little white cat.

[White Fox] squinted his eyes, looking very comfortable, but did not answer her previous question.

Meng Qingyin was puzzled: "White fox?"

Is this guy asleep?

[White Fox] corrected: "Call me Xiaobai."

Meng Qingyin was stunned.

noob?

That was the name she gave to the little white cat. Why did [White Fox] let her call it Xiaobai?

"Why are you..." Meng Qingyin looked at the White Fox in a daze.

The white fox swept its furry tail across her hand, and said in an accusing tone, "You really have forgotten me."

There was a hint of grievance in its red eyes. Apart from the color of its eyes, the more Meng Qingyin looked at it, the more she felt that it looked like Xiaobai.

Meng Qingyin was shocked: "Are you the Xiaobai who accompanied me at that time?"

[White Fox] glanced at her, "Did you finally remember me?"

Meng Qingyin just felt incredible: "But, Xiaobai's eyes are not red, your eyes..."

She once suspected that the [White Fox] was the little white cat, but the little white cat's eyes were as pure as glass, not the bright red like the [White Fox].

The White Fox lowered his head, his tone inexplicably downcast. "In the White Fox Clan, red eyes represent bad luck, while the purer the color, the more popular it is. I've overused my abilities, and there's no going back."

"So, do you also like the way I was in the past?" The white fox suddenly looked up and asked her.

There was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in its crimson eyes.

"You accompanied me through those most difficult days," Meng Qingyin touched the white fox's ears, her voice filled with the joy of reunion. "No matter what color your eyes are, you are my most important friend. The only thing that bothers me is that your red eyes make it difficult to confirm your identity."

"At the time, I thought I was dreaming," she paused, hugged the white fox and rubbed its head, "...After all, where can there be a little white cat that can talk?"

The white fox was delighted, but couldn't help but correct him: "I'm not a little white cat, I'm a white fox."

"Okay, you're my Xiaobai."

The white fox's beautiful tail rubbed against her arm. "So you haven't forgotten me?"

Meng Qingyin said seriously: "I always remember you."

The white fox was happy and looked up at her, "Okay, then I forgive you for not recognizing me that day."

Speaking of this, Meng Qingyin couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what were the last two words of the sentence you said that day?"

The white fox lowered its head a little embarrassedly and said, "I said you are a fool." A fool who forgot about it.

but……

It turns out she hadn't forgotten it.

Meng Qingyin was helpless, "Okay."

White Fox: "Okay, let's get back to business. Do you have any questions?"

Meng Qingyin touched its chin and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

And she has too many problems.

The white fox said seriously, "There are not only creatures from the Blue Star here. The potential of the Taotie is unlimited. Compared with the divine beast, it can protect you better."

Meng Qingyin's eyes were moved: "Why are you so nice to me?"

When she was locked in that room as a child, the white fox brought her water and medicine. Even when she entered the highway survival game, the white fox still thought deeply about her.

What qualifications does she have?

The white fox did not answer this question, and a trace of sadness flashed across its red eyes.

Meng Qingyin was more of a sigh when asked this question. Since Baihu didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions.

"You have checked Zhang Yan's memory. Have you found anything abnormal? For example, has he lost a certain memory?" Meng Qingyin suddenly remembered what Lear said about "awakening."

White Fox: "Zhang Yan's memory is complete and continuous. From the time he was born to the time he entered the game, he remembers everything that happened clearly, without any gaps. There is no such thing as amnesia as you mentioned."

Meng Qingyin pondered, what exactly did Lear mean by "awakening"?

Seeing her thoughtful expression, the white fox asked, "Why, is there any progress?"

Meng Qingyin said, "I pretended to be Zhang Yan. Li Er once said that she would help me wake up. What do you think she meant by waking up?"
