Chapter 220: The Fox Spirit (33)

Is this snake a snake that eats foxes? Is that why it kept staring at her? That's so unlucky! "Let's make a deal. I'll catch some other foxes for you, please let me go? You wouldn't want to eat me like this, right?"

The snake actually stopped, and Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is something that can be discussed, but how could she really stop to discuss it? So she ran even faster, and after seeing Gu Xuefeng, the snake that had been chasing her for a long time suddenly disappeared again.

Wen Yan: "..."

This snake was definitely treated differently.

They searched everywhere with Gu Xuefeng, almost turning the area upside down, but still couldn't find even a trace of the snake.

Wen Wan was almost in tears with anger. "What does this snake mean? Do you think it's targeting me?"

Gu Xuefeng, who was being stared at by Wen Wan, was speechless.

"This is strange. This snake might have some secret, so we have to catch it."

Wen Wan: "How do you catch it? It disappears the moment it sees you."

Looking at Gu Xuefeng suspiciously, Wen Wan asked, "You don't mean you want me to catch it, do you?" Seeing Gu Xuefeng remain silent, Wen Wan was exasperated. "Gu Xuefeng, are you serious? I was terrified when I saw it. I only survived because I ran fast. You want me to catch it? Why don't you just send me to my death?"

"I will conceal my presence not far from you, and when the snake appears, I will catch it. I will guarantee your safety."

Wen Wan: "No, what if you don't make it in time? You're not the sect leader of the Snow Sect here."

"Believe me."

I don't believe it.

Gu Xuefeng: "..."

“If you don’t hold on to it, you’ll be in danger the moment we separate.”

Wen Wan began to wonder if she could really stay by Gu Xuefeng's side all the time. The thought of something secretly watching her made Wen Wan's scalp tingle and made her restless.

"I'll think about it for a bit."

After a fierce internal struggle, Wen Wan finally convinced herself, "Okay, I'll be the bait, but you must make sure you get there on time."

Gu Xuefeng looked at Wen Wan with a firm gaze, as if it could soothe Wen Wan's anxiety. "I will definitely not let you get hurt."

...

After getting ready, the two began acting.

Gu Xuefeng pretended to leave and then quickly concealed his whereabouts, while Wen Wan stayed in the courtyard pretending to rest.

My palms were sweaty, and my heart was pounding.

Come quickly, or you'll be scared to death.

However, half an hour passed and he didn't come. An hour passed and he still didn't come. By the time Wen Wan had subconsciously fallen asleep, he was already asleep.

Wen Wan had a dream that she returned to her original world. She returned to the small apartment she had saved up to buy, where everything was bought little by little. She lay down on her soft and comfortable bed.

Afterwards, she took out her phone to order takeout, ordering a super deluxe KFC meal. The deliveryman arrived quickly. While eating the fried chicken, she turned on her computer and logged into her author account. Her account had received 99+ comments. Wen Wan didn't even need to click on it to know that the readers wanted to send her razor blades.

I outlined the main points and started writing. Here are two chapters updated today, both of them are heart-wrenching.

Comments surged rapidly. Wen Wan glanced at them and saw that they were all filled with readers' indignation because their beloved "white moonlight" character had been killed off in just two chapters.

Stepmother, you'll transmigrate into the book sooner or later.

Wen Wan saw a comment, and her heart clenched instantly. Then, the surrounding environment quickly faded, turning into a vast expanse of white. "Where is this?"

A rustling sound rang out.

Wen Wan looked over and saw a huge white snake. Instantly, Wen Wan's thoughts returned to reality. She could not possibly go back to her original world, so could this snake still control her dreams?

Wen Wan: It's numb, I really feel numb.

How is Gu Xuefeng supposed to save her now? This is simply impossible to defend against. Wen Wan adopted a defensive stance, asking, "Why do you keep bothering me?"

Snake: "The person next to you is too dangerous."

Wen Wan: "..." So the reason he's bothering her is because she's bad at cooking? Wen Wan is angry. How can even snakes be so pragmatic?

"Are you trying to eat me? My flesh is tough and dry, and it's also poisonous. My cultivation level is low, so I won't be of much use to you. Please let me go."

Snake: "I won't eat you."

Wen Wan: "???" She was about to launch into a tirade of pleas for mercy when she suddenly choked up. "If you don't want to eat me, then why are you following me?"

"You are the first person I have seen in thousands of years, so I am just curious."

Wen Yan: "???"

"Thousands of years? The master of this world failed to ascend a thousand years ago? Then you know the master of this world, right?"

"Yes, I am the Venerable One's spirit beast. You can call me Qiqi."

"That's not right. Gu Xuefeng said that this world would slowly collapse after a cultivator dies. You said you've been here for thousands of years, so how come this place still exists?"

"This place will disappear, but it will take several thousand years."

Wen Yan: "..."

So does this mean Gu Xuefeng is lying to himself?

Why? Wen Wan still didn't believe it, thinking that Gu Xuefeng herself might not know either. "Then can spiritual power be used in this place?"

The snake looked at Wen Wan, and Wen Wan felt, perhaps it was her imagination, that the snake was looking down on her intelligence. "If I can't use spiritual power, why should I fear your companions?"

Wen Yan: "..."

That makes a lot of sense. "Then can we go out?"

This time, the snake shook its head. "No, once you enter the inner world, you can't leave without a master."

"But Gu Xuefeng said that if we find the key, we can leave, right?"

The snake looked at her with that same look it gave her, as if she were an idiot. "Are you stupid? If it were that easy, why would I be here? I would have left long ago. I don't even know where my master's key is, what it looks like, or how to get it."

Wen Yan: "..."

A feeling of despair washed over me.

If even the pets she spends every day with, the spirit beasts that know their masters in the inner world best, can't get out, how could she and Gu Xuefeng possibly get out?

We're doomed.

She's really going to die here, and so is Gu Xuefeng. Forget about following the plot; even if she gets out, the female lead's granddaughter and granddaughter will probably be out by then. And the system will probably be destroyed by then due to mission failure.

Wen Wan slumped to the ground. "Qiqi, you really won't eat me?"

Qiqi: "My master forbids me from doing evil and eating people. Although you are a demon, you have cultivated into a human, so you also fall into this category."

Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wouldn't be eaten by the snake, so she was safe for the time being.

"But I'm curious, you weren't originally from this world, so how did you come to be here?"

Wen Wan didn't doubt that the spirit beast had probably invaded her dream and seen some things from the modern world, "because of some coincidences."

"What's that yellow thing you're eating? It looks delicious."

"Fried chicken, you should try it sometime, it's incredibly delicious."

"Okay, I'll catch chickens for you then."

At this moment, Qiqi suddenly panicked, "I have to go, your man is coming looking for you, we'll meet again someday."

Wen Wan: "Hey—"

The dream shattered the next second, and Wen Wan woke up instantly. She was still in Gu Xuefeng's arms, and Gu Xuefeng was still touching her face.

Wen Yan: "..."

He quickly stood up. "What's wrong?"

Are you asleep?

Wen Wan originally wanted to tell Gu Xuefeng everything that happened in her dream, but when she thought about how Gu Xuefeng had lied to her about so many things, she suddenly got angry. "If you want to sleep, then sleep. I'm going to sleep now, hmph~"

He then went back to his room.

Gu Xuefeng: "..."

He didn't know what had happened at first, but he soon found out. Seeing Wen Wan take out the beef jerky from her storage space and eat it, and also change her clothes, what didn't he know? Wen Wan knew he had lied to her.

Wen Wan looked at him and said, "Oh, this animal skin clothing is really ugly."

Lin Qingshui: "I'm sorry."

"Oh, how could the great Sect Master of the Snow Sect, a legendary Tribulation Transcending expert, apologize to a mere fox spirit like me? I was deceived, so be it. It was my fault for misjudging people, for being stupid and foolish."

When it comes to being sarcastic and eccentric, Wen Wan is a professional.

"Ah Yuan~" Gu Xuefeng had a headache.

Wen Wan looked at Gu Xuefeng accusingly, "I trusted you so much, I believed every word you said. How could you betray my trust? Let's break up. Goodbye."

With that, Wen Wan slammed the door shut.

Then she ate beef jerky in her room, angry, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "Gu Xuefeng, you deserve to be single forever. You'll never find a wife. I'm so angry. I've been so good to you, and you actually schemed against me."

He viciously bit into the beef jerky, pretending it was Gu Xuefeng.

In the following days, Wen Wan ignored Gu Xuefeng, treating him like air, and even became friends with Qiqi. Gu Xuefeng almost killed Qiqi at first, but Wen Wan stopped him, explaining Qiqi's identity and harmlessness.

Wen Wan and Qi Qi were eating snacks. Qi Qi had been in this place for so long and had no idea what the outside world had gone through, so she had never eaten these snacks before. But once she tried them, she fell in love with them.

"Ah Yuan, you really won't forgive him? I don't think you're that angry. He's so capable, maybe he can rescue us." After all, who can eat well and sleep soundly when they're angry? Once the door is closed, they're just a useless little thing.

Wen Wan shook her head. "Even if we're going to forgive him, we have to make him realize his mistake. The more guilty he feels towards me, the better he'll treat me in the future. I have to keep a respectable facade for now."

Qiqi: "..."

I really don't understand the thinking of these young people.

Every day, Gu Xuefeng would cook delicious food for her. Since Wen Wan would not see him, he would secretly place the food at Wen Wan's door. After the lie was exposed, Gu Xuefeng would release the model of the Qianxue Palace.

He didn't even know why he lied to Wen Wan. Maybe it was just a fleeting thought. But during this time, he liked and enjoyed the process. It was really... unacceptable to Xue Feng. If others knew, they would never believe that the sect leader of the Snow Sect would be greedy for the life of an ordinary person. He should stand high above the clouds, on the high snow mountain, as a god to everyone.

Wen Wan's anger lasted for more than half a month before it "dissipated".

Wen Wan instantly felt herself stand up straight, completely switching places with Gu Xuefeng, "Will you dare to lie to me again in the future?"

Gu Xuefeng: "..."

Qiqi: "..." Is this really something this little good-for-nothing should say? Gu Xuefeng could kill this powerless little fox demon with a single finger.

In Qiqi's heart, Wen Wan was just like her, a pet kept by her master. Although her master liked her quite a bit, her master was her master, and she dared not speak to him like that.

Gu Xuefeng: "There won't be a next time."

This little fox was as petty as it was narrow-minded; Gu Xuefeng was experiencing the meaning of the phrase "spoiled and arrogant" for the first time.

Qiqi: "!!!"
