At this moment, the little white fox Tianyao just wanted to stay close to Ye Ying's warm embrace, as if that would allow it to pass on all its warmth and trust to her.

Ye Ying gently stroked the little white fox's silky soft fur, the sensation from her fingertips filling her with pleasure.

She felt the warmth emanating from the little white fox's soft fur, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

At this moment, the emotional bond between the human and the fox became even stronger.

She spoke softly, her voice like a warm spring breeze brushing against your ear:

"Little White, I sincerely hope you will remember these words. No matter where you wander in the future, you must always cherish your own life and respect every living being in this world. Only in this way can we live in harmony with this vast world and work together to build a bright and glorious tomorrow."

"Oh..." The little white fox blinked its clear and bright eyes, seemingly understanding what its young master Ye Ying had said, but also seemingly still somewhat puzzled.

Finally, unable to contain its surging curiosity, it eagerly asked, "But, little master, why do we have to stay here studying herbal knowledge? The outside world is so big, aren't there so many more fun things waiting for us to discover...?"

Ye Ying gazed quietly at the little white fox Tian Yao, her eyes flashing with a firm and powerful light.

She answered earnestly and solemnly:

"Because I am eager to acquire this knowledge, only in this way can I help more people. Just like that kind old man, I can use the magical power of herbs to alleviate the physical and mental suffering of patients."

"Moreover, I firmly believe that the herbs in this vast forest must hold countless potential energies. Perhaps one day in the future, we will discover even more novel medicines that can bring... a continuous stream of benefits to the world and our families."

Ye Ying's voice was soft yet firm, as if she were telling the little white fox about a beautiful dream.

The little white fox tilted its head and listened attentively. Although it couldn't fully understand Ye Ying's words, it sensed a deep sense of mission and responsibility in her eyes.

Finally, Ye Ying emphasized, "Xiao Bai, learning and accumulating new knowledge won't do us any harm. Who knows, we might need this knowledge someday! After all, it's always good to have more skills!"

After hearing these words, the little white fox's already large, watery eyes instantly became even brighter, as dazzling as the stars twinkling in the night sky.

Clearly, it had grasped the deeper meaning of Ye Ying's words and gained great inspiration and encouragement from them.

The next morning, just as the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds on the horizon, a faint glimmer of light appeared.

At this moment, the sun, like a shy young girl, hides behind thick clouds, seemingly unwilling to reveal its true face too soon.

However, Ye Ying showed no signs of drowsiness.

On the contrary, she was filled with irrepressible excitement and anticipation, and couldn't wait to start a brand new day.

So, without hesitation, she threw off the warm quilt, quickly got out of bed, dressed, folded the quilt, and then quickly finished her simple washing and grooming.
