"Just tell them that!" Zhang Moyan's eyes were filled with determination. "It doesn't matter if it's a little exaggerated, as long as it can help you take a few hits!"

Xiao Xingyu's throat lurched, impressed by her innocence. After a moment's pause, he rubbed his nose, "But lying isn't a good idea, especially to an elder. I was just teaching the child to be honest and upright! How can you not do that yourself?"

Zhang Moyan calmed down: "What should I do? I really feel responsible for this matter. Oh, if only I could turn back time."

Although her reaction time was a bit slow and she only just realized that Xiao Xingyu was going to face caning, once she realized it, she was genuinely worried about him and became completely panicked.

Xiao Xingyu saw this and sighed, looking up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle: "There's no escape, so I can only face it bravely! In fact, I've been troubled by one thing for a long time."

Zhang Moyan turned her head: "What's the matter?"

"That's right," he said slowly, staring into space as if trapped in a city of worry. "I still don't know what mistake I made in Heaven that forced me to descend to the mortal world to experience tribulation."

Zhang Moyan was stunned, and it took her at least half a minute to process what he had said. How could this guy switch so naturally from serious to nonsense?

But the self-blame and worry in my heart did ease a lot.

She smiled suddenly: "You said you are an immortal man? Why do you have to be an immortal man?"

Xiao Xingyu didn't expect to be rejected. He quickly frowned and approached angrily: "If I'm not an immortal man, then what am I?!"

Zhang Moyan was stunned by his face that suddenly enlarged in front of her. At a distance where she could hear his breathing, her voice became unstable under his gaze.

"Can't you just... be a vixen?"

Xiao Xingyu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up as if he found it very interesting. He approached her again: "Yes, I am a vixen. Are you afraid of being eaten by me?"

Such a dangerous and grand capture of the atmosphere!

Zhang Moyan shrank back in fear, not knowing what to say. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Haven't you already eaten?"

Xiao Xingyu was choked and speechless, and suddenly he felt as if his own design had backfired on him.
