Xiao Ning listened to You Rong Rouxue's words while trying to calm the fear and anxiety that surged in his heart. However, the fear in his eyes did not dissipate, but lingered like a dark cloud for a long time.
After a long time, he finally stopped retching and sat up with the help of Yourong Rouxue. He took a deep breath, as if he had used up all his strength, and tightly grasped Yourong Rouxue's hand, and said in an extremely firm tone:
"Sister Rouxue, thank you. I now clearly understand what I should do next."
Rong Rouxue looked at Xiao Ning, who looked resolute, and felt relieved. She nodded slightly to show her support and encouragement for Xiao Ning.
Then, she opened her red lips slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up. Then, she swung her right hand fiercely, with a clean and neat movement.
In an instant, a dazzling light suddenly rushed out from her palm, streaking through the void like lightning. The light was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch its trajectory.
As everyone was shocked, the light quickly faded, and a small and exquisite figure gradually emerged. This figure looked very petite and cute, as if it was condensed from the purest light in the world.
It jumped lightly, like a cheerful elf, and ran towards Xiao Ning. In the blink of an eye, it landed steadily on Xiao Ning's broad shoulders, stretched out its arms, and hugged his neck tightly.
Xiao Ning was stunned by this sudden change, and was at a loss for a moment. When he came to his senses and looked at the figure in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
“Honghong! You…why are you here?!”
He cried out, his voice full of surprise and joy.
At this moment, Honghong's appearance was clearly displayed in front of everyone. She was wearing an elegant green dress with fluttering sleeves, like an elf.
The most eye-catching thing is the two furry and soft fox ears on her head, which sway gently with her movements, making her look playful and cute; and the huge tail behind her keeps swaying from side to side, as if showing her inner joy to the world.
Honghong pressed her little face against Xiao Ning's cheek, rubbing it affectionately, and said word by word:
"Sister Su... agreed to let me follow you! Brother Xiao, Honghong... wants to stay by your side forever!"
Her voice was clear and melodious, as beautiful as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
Hearing Hong Hong's words, Xiao Ning couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, shook his head helplessly and said:
"What about your brother? How could your brother agree to let you follow me?"
At this moment, Rong Rouxue beside him smiled and reminded softly:
"Do you remember the bottle of wine that Heizi gave you before he left? In fact, there is a letter hidden in it. You might as well open it and you will know the answer."
After hearing this, Xiao Ning gently put Hong Hong on the ground, and then he took out the wine that Heizi gave him from his storage ring. The wine jar was tightly wrapped in a layer of white cloth, as if hiding some secret.
Xiao Ning carefully uncovered the white cloth, and inside, a piece of pure white rice paper lay quietly on the wine jar. He gently picked up the envelope and opened it, and the beautiful handwriting on it appeared before his eyes like a beautiful painting.
"Master Xiao, I'll leave my sister in your care! Although I haven't known you for a long time, I can feel that you are a good person. The clan leader also said that you have important things to do now. Honghong can help you."
Every word in the letter revealed Heizi's trust in Xiao Ning and his love for his sister.
"When you have time, bring Honghong back to see us. Honghong likes you very much, and I also approve of you as her brother-in-law!"
The last sentence made Xiao Ning curl his lips. He really couldn't understand why Heizi could so easily determine that he was his brother-in-law.
Rong Rouxue looked at Xiao Ning's expression and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahaha, that's how the fox tribe is. Once they decide on someone they like, they will never change and will only love one person for the rest of their lives. Ning'er is really popular!"
Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, as if she was happy about Xiao Ning's popularity.
Xiao Ning looked at You Rong Rouxue helplessly and sighed. At this moment, Hong Hong suddenly pounced on Xiao Ning's back and bit his neck. In an instant, a small tooth mark appeared on his skin.
"Why do you like biting people?"
Xiao Ning said helplessly. Hong Hong just smiled and didn't answer. There was a hint of mischief and innocence in her eyes.
Xiao Ning looked at Hong Hong's innocent smile, and the helplessness in his heart gradually dissipated. He tilted his head and said gently:
"Oh! Forget it, since Heizi and Senior Su have entrusted Honghong to me, of course I have to take good care of her."
He decided to accept this sudden responsibility and take care of Honghong wholeheartedly. Then, his gaze slowly shifted to Yourong Rouxue, his eyes full of confusion and expectation.
"Sister Rouxue, the letter says that Honghong can help me. What can she help me with?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Rong Rouxue looked at Xiao Ning, her eyes were gentle and firm. She said softly:
"Of course I'm helping your mother! The Heart-Eating Curse is, after all, a spell that can charm people's hearts, and charming people's hearts is one of the things the fox clan is best at. Sao Fox sent Hong Hong here to help Chu Qian break the Heart-Eating Curse."
When Xiao Ning heard this, his originally dim eyes suddenly brightened up, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness. He looked eagerly at Hong Hong, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
