Chu Xixuan felt pain and loosened his grip. The little fox jumped out of Chu Xixuan's arms and ran back to Lan Ziye.

Xiaobai felt like he was facing a great enemy. All the cat hair on his body stood up and he bared his teeth and roared at the little fox.

Lan Ziye squatted down with a helpless look on his face, picked up Xiaobai and said, "Don't be like this, this little fox doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions!"

"Meow--" Xiaobai looked at Lan Ziye with eager eyes, called out cutely, nestled in Lan Ziye's arms, and closed his eyes contentedly.

But the master is its owner, so the little fox can't even think about being held by the master. (???_??)?

The little fox looked at Xiaobai with a pair of fox eyes. This white cat was still the same as it was three thousand years ago, stupid and annoying. It seemed that he had to find a way to get rid of this damn cat.

This was the first time Chu Xixuan was bitten by a fox in his life. The key point was that the bite hit his chest, which hurt so much that he grimaced and took several deep breaths to suppress the pain.

Looking up and seeing Xiaobai already nestled in Lan Ziye's arms, Chu Xixuan breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, he felt that the stupid cat was not bad.

Before reaching the cave entrance, Lan Ziye spotted the fox lady standing guard, peering around. She hurried forward and apologized, "We wandered a bit far yesterday. I hope we didn't miss dinner time, did we?"

"No, I'll take you there now!" said the fox lady kindly.

Chu Xixuan looked at the fox lady's enchanting figure and charming face, and when he thought that this was Su Muhan, he almost vomited: Too perverted! I have known this guy for so many years, but I didn't expect him to be so perverted! ⊙﹏⊙

Lan Ziye nodded and followed the fox lady towards her long-lost 'home'.

Seeing the gatekeeper, Lan Ziye was surprised and asked, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu?"

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were two orphans she rescued when she was out for training. Later, she became the second brother's disciple. She didn't expect to see Xiaowu and Xiaoliu in this secret realm.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu didn't seem to recognize Lan Ziye and looked at the fox lady in confusion.

The fox lady leaned forward slightly and saluted, saying, "This is the benefactor I mentioned. The patriarch agreed to let me bring her in!"

"So you are the distinguished guest, please come in!" Xiaowu and Xiaoliu immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped aside to salute and make way.

"They don't recognize me?" Lan Ziye said disappointedly. When she saw Grandma Cha recognize her yesterday, she thought Xiaowu and Xiaoliu would recognize her too!

"This isn't the Lan residence, this is a secret realm!" Xiaobai felt like this mission was going to be exhausting. Not only did he have to guard against that stinky fox, but he also had to prevent his master from being bewitched by this secret realm. It was too difficult! (???????)

Lan Ziye smiled bitterly. Yes! She missed home so much!

Walking into the Lan family mansion, the furnishings, decoration, every blade of grass, every flower and every tree were exactly the same as they were back then. Lan Ziye even had the illusion that he had really returned to the Lan family.

Lan Ziye followed the fox lady with mixed feelings and walked forward.

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her from behind. Lan Ziye turned around and saw the familiar face of her third brother.

"Xiaoye, it's really you!" The third brother said excitedly, "Xiaoye, you're back?"

Lan Ziye was stunned. This 'Third Brother' knew her?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you up to some bad idea again?" 'Third Brother' walked forward, gently tapped Lan Ziye's forehead, and said lovingly.
