Deep in the dark jungle, suddenly appeared before him, Arno's grandmother's face contorted with rage.
Yi was startled. How did she end up in the jungle? Wasn't she in the human world, at Maple Riverside?
Her hand was being pulled by another strong hand. She turned her head and saw Mu Nanxun looking at her and smiling.
Mumu came too.
"You brought this human into the jungle, are you trying to kill all of us?!"
Grandma Arno angrily pointed at Mu Nanxun behind her and yelled at her.
Yi shook her head repeatedly, silently shielding Mu Nanxun behind her. "No, no, Grandma Arno, this is Mumu. He's very good. Although he's human, he's not cruel or cunning at all like you described. He's very good to me, and he'll be good to all the spirit foxes. He won't hurt us..."
"Shut up! All humans are the same; they are the most cruel and cunning creatures! No one is an exception. He is just using you and deceiving you. He will kill you, and he will kill all our kind!"
Grandma Arno approached them step by step, and her kind gradually gathered around her. Her best friends, Chen Dudu and Yu'er, were also among the group, looking at her with unfamiliar, disappointed eyes.
Yi Yi suddenly felt lost and helpless. Here, no one stood with her. All her former kindred spirits were now on the opposite side.
"No, no... Listen to me, Mumu wouldn't do this to us... I've known him for so long, and he's never hurt me. Similarly, he wouldn't hurt you..."
“There was no harm done before, we just hadn’t found the right opportunity. We can’t gamble with the lives of our entire race. In short, you can only choose one: him or this human. Either he dies, or our entire race is killed by this human. Tell me, who do you choose!”
Yi Yi felt a fear she had never felt before. She gripped Mu Nanxun's hand tightly and retreated step by step, preventing any of them from getting close.
"I won't choose. I don't want Mumu to die, and I don't want you to die either. Grandma Arno, Dudu, Yu'er, please listen to me, Mumu would never hurt you."
"Stop talking, we won't trust such cunning creatures as humans! Since you don't want to choose, then I'll choose for you!" Grandma Arno stopped and took a sharpened stone tool from her subordinate behind her.
"Yi Yi, come here quickly and stand with us. We are your family." Chen Dudu called out to her anxiously.
“Yes, Yi Yi, Dudu is right. Don’t break ties with all the spirit foxes for the sake of one human.”
Chen Dudu and Yu'er were also trying to persuade her.
She just shook her head. How could she leave Mumu alone?
Grandma Arno handed her the stone tool. "Use this to insert into this human's heart. Kill him, and you can return to your home."
"Plug it into his heart, plug it into his heart!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Almost all of her kind raised their hands, indignantly demanding that she end Mu Nanxun's life herself.
Without even thinking, Yi refused. "I don't want to, I don't want to!"
Arno's grandmother warned impatiently, "Yi Yi, this is your last chance. Even if you don't kill him yourself, we'll make sure he doesn't live."
"I will not allow you to hurt him, absolutely not!"
Yi Yi stood firmly in front of Mu Nanxun, saying, "If you want to hurt Mu Mu, you'll have to kill me first!"
