A little white rabbit, fluffy, with red eyes, curled eyelashes, long ears, and a short tail.
As it saw the crowd approaching, it kept shrinking back, clinging tightly to the iron cage.
Qi Wenye squatted down, his voice softening, "Little white rabbit, you are that demon."
The little rabbit glanced at him timidly, then immediately lowered its head and buried it between its legs.
Its two long ears swayed back and forth, as if to say: It wasn't me.
Chen Zhao observed carefully, "The little rabbit is afraid of you. Do you have any food? Use food to lure it out."
Qi Wenye pulled out a carrot from the side. "Your favorite carrot, come out quickly. We won't hurt you. We want to ask you some questions."
The little rabbit curled up into a ball, refusing the temptation of the delicious food.
Qi Wenye turned around. "Madam, what do we do now?"
“I’ll personally invite Rabbit out.” Lin Xi reached out and grabbed the little white rabbit by the scruff of its neck.
She moved so fast that the little rabbit hadn't even had time to react before she was outside.
My legs were lifted into the air, and my buttocks felt chilly.
Just as the little rabbit was about to resist, a powerful spiritual force swirled around its fur.
"Dare to bite, and I'll burn your fur!"
A threat! A huge threat!
Is this a request?
Violent little humans, humph!
The little white rabbit dared not move, so it closed its eyes and pretended to be dead.
Seeing this, the colorful creature on the tree branch immediately spread its wings and rushed towards the forest stream.
"Giggle, let go of my friend!!"
Lin Xi glanced at it coldly, "Want to fight?"
"Screech—!!" Wu Cai braked suddenly, turned around, and returned along the original route.
If you don't run now, all your feathers will be plucked.
Haha, my friend, good luck to you.
The little white rabbit was speechless.
What use is this cowardly parrot as a lackey?
It continued to play dead.
Lin Xi grabbed the little white rabbit's ear with one hand and its tail with the other, then suddenly lifted its bottom up.
"Let me see, are you a little rabbit sister or a little rabbit brother?"
? ! !
What a scoundrel! How dare he flirt with an adorable rabbit!
The little white rabbit clenched its hind legs tightly, its fur standing on end, and cried out, "Human scoundrel, let me go!"
Her voice was soft and sweet, yet carried a hint of fierceness.
Lin Xi stroked the bristling fur and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So it's a little rabbit."
The little white rabbit's face turned red with anger, and its cheeks puffed out.
Mother was right. Humans are cunning and treacherous; simple rabbits can't outsmart them.
"It's been discovered," the little white rabbit readily admitted, "I'm a rabbit spirit, and I've never harmed anyone."
It shrank back in fear, its neck shortening. "Human scoundrel, you...you can't kill me."
Lin Xi said calmly, "Human scoundrels, huh?!"
The little white rabbit immediately cowered and pleaded in a high-pitched voice, "Pretty sister, can you let go of the rabbit? Righteous humans shouldn't kill demons indiscriminately."
Qi Wenye spoke up for it, "Madam, that's true. The little white rabbit didn't hurt me; on the contrary, it helped me a lot."
While exercising in the mountains, he unexpectedly found a little rabbit.
At that time, the little rabbit's hind leg was injured by a trap, and it lay on the ground whimpering.
The bunny was so cute, it's such a shame it died.
Qi Wenye took the rabbit home and cured its leg.
From then on, the white rabbit became a member of the Qi family. It was timid by nature and hid in its burrow every day.
Qi Wenye never expected that the demon would be it.
This story was all too familiar. Lin Xi asked, "What was your purpose in pretending to be injured and sneaking into Qi Wenye's house?"
"I..." The little white rabbit was silent for a moment, her red eyes looking at the man beside her.
“My mother said that rabbits should know how to repay kindness. You saved me, so I’m here to repay your kindness.”
Qi Wenye said directly, "I don't need your gratitude."
The little white rabbit's ears drooped, its red eyes welled up with tears, and its voice was filled with the sound of sobbing.
"My benefactor, you want to send me away."
Qi Wenye panicked, "That's not what I meant. You can stay as long as you want, and you don't have to do housework."
The little rabbit was even more upset. "I'm sorry, what did I do wrong to make you angry?"
"I'll change, okay? Don't chase the little rabbit away."
Qi Wenye stammered, "No, you did very well, I, um..."
Lin Xi looked at him, then at the little rabbit, and roughly understood the whole thing. "He thinks you did a great job and is worried that you've been working too hard."
The little white rabbit's dim eyes suddenly lit up. "My benefactor, I'm willing to do these things. I'm not tired at all. Please give me a chance."
Qi Wenye didn't know what to do, but his wife comforted the little rabbit with a single sentence.
Listen to your wife, you can't go wrong.
He nodded. "Yes."
The little white rabbit was overjoyed, "Can I stay?"
Qi Wenye: "Mm."
"Can I continue to repay this kindness?"
"Um."
Qi Wenye transformed into a ruthless repeating machine; for every question the little white rabbit asked, he would simply respond with an "uh-huh."
"Hey..." The little white rabbit looked distressed. "My benefactor, your finger is injured. Shall I treat it for you?"
"Uh-huh?"
The next second, I felt a warm, moist touch on my fingertips.
Qi Wenye's face froze, and he looked down.
The little white rabbit pressed its hand against his palm and slowly licked the bloodstains.
This feeling is so strange...
Qi Wenye quickly withdrew his hand, his face turning bright red. "What, what are you doing?!"
The little white rabbit looked completely innocent. "Treatment for wounds."
Qi Wenye's eyes widened. The bloodstains on his fingertips had faded considerably and were about to disappear in the next second.
He completely ignored the injuries he sustained while boxing in the underground yesterday.
The little white rabbit said weakly, "This is my talent. Lick it three more times, and the scar will disappear immediately."
"No, no need!" Qi Wenye hid his hands, his panic visibly evident.
Thinking about it carefully, my wounds have been healing exceptionally fast lately. Could it be that the little white rabbit licked them?
Ouch! The injuries aren't just to my fingers, but also my chest, abdomen, and thigh...
Holy crap! He's been licked all over by that little white rabbit!
Qi Wenye was practically going crazy, his voice trembling, "You used to lick my wounds too?"
The little white rabbit shook its head, then nodded. "You'll be unhappy if I don't do it in this life. Tonight I'll apply herbs to your wound, and I'll secretly wipe them off before dawn."
Qi Wenye breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the little rabbit changed the subject, "But a long, long time ago, you taught me not to lick other people's wounds or expose my own talents."
Qi Wenye was very surprised, "I'm only twenty-three, where did I get this 'past' from?"
The little white rabbit drooped its ears, looking extremely dejected. "You really don't remember."
Chen Zhao sensed something was amiss and asked with a hint of jealousy, "Madam, isn't there something a little ambiguous between this person and the rabbit?"
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. "A love affair spanning two lifetimes, of course it's ambiguous."
The small animal trap couldn't harm the rabbit spirit; it deliberately sneaked in to repay a debt of gratitude.
The so-called benefactor is not the current Qi Wenye, but him from his past life.
