"Thank you, Mumu... I need to confess to you that my coming into your world was not by chance; I came here to find someone."
"A man?" Mu Nanxun became alert and asked in an unfriendly tone.
Yi Yi hadn't noticed the change in his expression yet, and nodded, "Yes, a man."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun's face instantly darkened, his thick eyebrows furrowing into a deep frown. Which shameless man had known Yi Yi before him? Judging from Yi Yi's expression, did that man have some kind of history with her? Otherwise, why would Yi Yi be here?!
Damn it, Mu Nanxun clenched his fists secretly. No matter who it is, if he finds out, he'll make him disappear in a minute and never be allowed to appear in front of Yi Yi again!
Although that's what he thought, Mu Nanxun didn't dare show it too much on his face. He could only suppress his anger for the time being and patiently asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Yi Yi was completely oblivious to Mu Nanxun's increasingly sour expression, automatically ignoring his sullen tone, and lost in her own memories.
“A few months ago, when I was still in the jungle, I encountered a human. Somehow, that human angered several wild animals, and a fight broke out. The human was no match for the wild animals and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. He was badly injured, and just as the wild animals were about to rush up and tear him apart, I saved him.”
"You?" Mu Nanxun's tone was full of doubt. Although Yi Yi was very agile and had even won a boxing championship, her victory had a large element of luck. Mu Nanxun knew Yi Yi's strength; putting her in a head-on confrontation with a ferocious beast would be almost impossible for her.
Yi Yi knew he didn't believe her, so she explained, "It's not like you humans have weapons. Our spirit fox clan also has weapons to deal with wild beasts. I was lucky that day; I happened to have my weapons with me. I knocked the beast down and rescued that human from its jaws. Do you know what that human said to me?"
At this point, Yi Yi kept everyone in suspense.
Mu Nanxun raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "That jerk wouldn't say anything like 'I'll repay you with my body,' would he? If he really did, I'd kill him!"
"have no idea."
"Cough cough..." Yi Yi cleared her throat, trying hard to recall the scene, and said, "He was badly injured, covered in blood, and couldn't even open his eyes. But despite that, he still forced himself to say to me, 'Thank you for saving my life, brother. I will definitely repay you in the future.' Hahaha, isn't he stupid? He actually mistook me for a man! Hahahaha..."
Thinking back on it now, Yi Yi still can't help but laugh. How could someone be so silly as to mistake her for a man? But it's understandable. He was so badly injured at the time that he probably couldn't even see her clearly. He just assumed that someone who could repel a wild beast must be a big, burly man, so it's understandable that he thought she was a man.
"And then?" For some reason, Mu Nanxun felt a sense of déjà vu as he listened to Yi Yi recount this experience.
"Later..." Yi scratched his head, "Later I heard the sound of humans approaching, so I ran away. After that, I often thought of that human. It wasn't that I was really curious about that human, but I simply longed for the human world."
