Shen Aoshan looked in the direction of the white fox with anticipation...
If it's not Ling'er, how can I explain why it only sticks to me and doesn't get close to anyone else?
How else can we explain the fact that it refuses to eat raw meat and insists on eating cooked meals like humans, and that its interests and hobbies are exactly the same as Ling'er's?
How do you explain that it only needs to bathe itself and must wear clothes?
How else to explain the fact that it knows its own belongings and preferences so well that even without being told, it can still understand and find the place very accurately?
Not only that, it also knew many of her private secrets: where she hid her money, how she sorted her herbs, and even that golden object...
Most importantly, when it saw Night Owl and Bai Muchen, it acted very familiar with them, as if they had always lived together. This was a stark contrast to its awe and resistance towards the prince.
Finally being recognized, Yan Miaoling burst into tears of joy and nodded without hesitation, accompanied by an excited "嘤嘤嘤"...
Hey sister, you've finally gotten smart. It's worth all my hints and all the hard work.
Ye Xiao and Bai Muchen were extremely confused to see the man and the fox communicating so well. Especially Ye Xiao, he took two steps forward, squatted down and took a closer look, "Ah, you are not a dog but a fox..."
He looked so stupid that Yan Miaoling rolled her eyes.
"Oh, you little thing can even glare at people... Hey hey hey, why are you biting people..." He quickly shook him off.
Shen Aoshan finally recovered from her shock, rushed over, picked up the white fox, and put her face close to it, "Ling'er! Ling'er, why have you become like this? Wuwuwu..." The heroine who should have been aloof and cold, but the tears came as soon as she said it, and the tears flowed like a river...
"Ahhh!" She stamped her feet in pain, shaking her body as she hugged Yan Miaoling tighter and tighter, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Are you cursed? Wuuwuwu..."
This outpouring of true feelings finally made Ye Xiao and the other two face up to the truth.
Bai Muchen stepped forward, "Junior sister, you said it was Ling'er? What's going on?" His junior sister was rarely so excited, and there must be a reason for her to behave like this.
The cries caught the attention of Xuanyuan Mingchen, who had just returned from the army. He also stepped forward to listen...
A good person suddenly turned into a fox. This was definitely a secret. Xuanyuan Mingchen shouted everyone away, and several people came to his room.
Shen Aoshan slowly explained the reasons for her suspicions. Every time she said something, Yan Miaoling would nod in agreement, or hum in a friendly way.
Bai Muchen interrupted, "Ling'er, do you remember how you became like this?" He was still skeptical. It was truly unbelievable. He had been practicing medicine for years, and his mother, a time traveler, had told him countless fairy tales. But he had never witnessed anything involving gods or ghosts.
Yan Miaoling was anxious. She jumped from Shen Aoshan's arms and onto the candlelit table. She pointed with her claws, pretending to be struck by the light, then rolled over and pretended to faint...
It's so spiritual that one has to believe it.
Later, Ye Xiao and Bai Muchen asked a few more questions. They were all private, the kind that no one knew except the person involved and Yan Miaoling. Unexpectedly, the little white fox could express himself in various ways.
This time, everyone believed it completely.
Then...
A variety of emotions were revealed.
Shen Aoshan cried bitterly and kept asking how to recover. But Yan Miaoling didn't know. If she knew, why would she live with the body of a fox for so many days?
Night Owl felt heartbroken, angry, and regretful. He didn't know what he was angry about, perhaps because he shouldn't have gone to deal with the wolf that day, or should have just followed it.
Bai Muchen felt heartbroken and guilty. It must have been his confession that had caused Ling'er to be punished. Otherwise, he would have been struck by thunder. He lowered his eyes slightly, veins bulging in his hands...
Our King Chen's emotions were even more complex. Heartache, yes! But certainly not as much as the three above. After all, he wasn't in love yet. Instead, regret, guilt, and embarrassment lingered in his mind.
I quietly looked up at the bottom of the fox's tail...
Well!
He's not a human! Not only did he see her naked in human form, he also forced her to see her gender in fox form...
Suddenly stood up.
Even a prince can be silly sometimes. He said to the fox, "No matter how you became like this, I will be responsible for you to the end! From now on, I will never leave your side!"
What?
Yan Miaoling is crying...
The first thing that comes to mind is, you're always with me, so you don't want to fight anymore?
It was amazing. After knowing that the white fox was Yan Miaoling, Xuanyuan Mingchen could immediately understand her inner thoughts. "Even if we have to fight, I will keep you by my side."
Yan Miaoling strayed off track, instantly recalling the clinking of iron hooves and the galloping of thousands of horses. The heroic and imposing King Chen, riding on horseback, led the troops at the forefront, sword raised, and engaged the enemy in battle.
Then, she, a little cannon fodder, was tied to him and tossed around. The pungent smell of blood, saltpeter from artillery fire, and maybe even sweat...
Eh——
The white fox stamped its feet in disgust.
The thought of the enemy's spears and marbles possibly accidentally hitting her made her even more unwilling to do it. She quickly retreated and hid behind Shen Aoshan. Don't be too obvious about your disdain.
The other three people cannot understand Xuanyuan Mingchen's train of thought, so why should you, a prince, be held responsible?
Treat us as dead!
Ye Xiao stood up, and the two men of similar height were on edge. He made the final decision, "No one can compete with me for Ling'er. Ling'er is mine! No matter what she becomes, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."
After saying that, he moved closer to Shen Aoshan and reached out to hug her.
Avoided by the white fox.
"Mmmmm..." You were going to kick me, but I didn't want you to. You idiot!
Ye Xiao understood her very well and understood her rejection. He squatted down and coaxed her, "Be good, come to me, I will hunt wild game for you every day."
These words made the white fox's ears stand up and its eyes moved around smartly, obviously showing interest.
Shen Aoshan always felt that something was wrong and looked at Bai Muchen who was keeping his eyes downcast and silent...
Strange! Senior Brother cares so much about Ling Er, it's impossible for him to know about Ling Er's misfortune without saying anything...
What exactly is the reason that makes him hesitate?
Bai Muchen didn't let her guess for too long. He suddenly said, "Neither of you should touch Ling'er anymore. For the sake of convenience, I'd better leave Ling'er to my junior sister's care!"
Night Owl was not satisfied.
I visited him in the middle of the night to ask why. Bai Muchen was drunk, his worries unresolved. Thinking that Night Owl was also part of the mission, he no longer hid anything. With red eyes and a surging voice, he said, "Night Owl, it's all my fault that Ling'er was harmed! It's me, and you too. You're also a troublemaker. Staying away from her from now on is the best way to protect her..."
His voice choked with sobs. He revealed the secret that the two of them were characters in Yan Miaoling's mission, and that if they developed a romantic relationship, Yan Miaoling would be punished.
This was both a way for Bai Muchen to vent his emotions and a test. He wasn't sure if revealing Yan Miaoling's secret would lead to her being punished again. Therefore, he chose only Ye Xiao to reveal it.
