The little fox was overjoyed; she no longer needed to steal Laozi's wine.
Centuries passed like this, and the little fox lived a very leisurely life, as long as he had wine to drink.
However, a thousand years is a tribulation for the little fox. She will be struck by lightning. Only by overcoming this tribulation can she acquire immortal roots.
If she fails to overcome the tribulation, she will be reduced to ashes.
As fairies, they face a calamity every thousand years.
The little fox was about to undergo her tribulation. Lightning and thunder chased after her all the way, and she was slightly injured, but she couldn't escape the heavenly lightning.
She hadn't thought that undergoing tribulation was that scary before, but she had heard that some people had been struck by lightning and died. She wasn't afraid of death, but she was unwilling to give up because she hadn't found a divine doctor.
A clap of thunder struck the sky, and the little fox fell to the ground, her face covered in dust. She was exhausted. Lying on the ground, a smile appeared on her lips. Perhaps the divine healer had not been reincarnated.
Otherwise, no matter how thoroughly she searched the records, she found no trace of the divine physician.
A white light flashed across the sky, and then a bolt of lightning struck down.
"Little fox!"
The little fox was lying on the ground when she saw a white shadow fly down from the sky and take a bolt of lightning for her before she could react.
She was shocked. When she saw his face clearly, she realized that he was an immortal.
"It's you! What are you doing?"
The immortal was struck by a bolt of lightning, his face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still smiled and said, "Are you alright?"
The little fox stared at him intently, not quite understanding: "Why?"
The immortal stroked her dirty cheek: "It's good that you're alright."
"But you're in trouble." The little fox never knew someone would shield her from divine retribution: "This could mean your soul will be scattered."
"I am a celestial being, and I can handle you better than a mischievous little fox like you."
The little fox's eyes reddened: "But you can't shield me. If they find out, you'll be punished."
The immortal said, "Don't forget that I am a respected immortal, and no one can punish me."
The little fox was still uneasy and tried to help the immortal, but the immortal pushed her away: "You should leave quickly. If you are discovered, I will be the one who will be punished instead of the one who receives the heavenly lightning."
"Then what are you going to do?" The little fox was at a loss. She had never imagined that the one who shielded her from the heavenly lightning was an immortal, even though they had no connection whatsoever.
The immortal said, "Someone will come looking for me. You must leave quickly!"
He made it sound very serious, as if her presence would only be a burden to him.
But she was a fox spirit, and she couldn't let him stay: "I won't leave, I'll stay with you."
She held the immortal close, watching bolts of lightning strike down from the sky, enduring the pain, determined not to leave him alone.
The immortal stroked her head: "Silly girl."
Finally, he exerted his strength, and the little fox fainted.
The little fox was supposed to be struck dead by heavenly lightning, but the immortal blocked the fatal blow for her, preventing her soul from being scattered.
Looking at the little fox that had turned into a fox, the immortal spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then the celestial beings descended from the heavens. Looking at the injured immortal who had shielded the fox demon from the lightning, they coldly said, "You have violated the heavenly rules by shielding the fox demon from the heavenly lightning. We have come to bring you to justice."
The immortal asked expressionlessly, "Is she alright?"
"The fox demon has already transcended her tribulation; she is in control of her own destiny. As for where she lives, that is entirely up to fate."
The immortal breathed a sigh of relief and was willing to accept the punishment: "I am willing to be punished."
The immortal was taken away and punished for shielding the fox demon from heavenly lightning. His immortal roots were removed, and he was demoted to a mortal, never to be ranked among the immortals again.
When Xiao Jinhan woke up, his mind was completely blank. His dream felt so real. He looked at Tang Yaoyao, who was sitting next to him, looking worried.
"sixteen."
"Fourth Brother." Tang Yaoyao stared at him intently, "You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Jinhan smiled at her and said, "I'm fine. I just had a very long dream."
"What did you dream about?" Tang Yaoyao asked.
"I dreamt of a little reddish-brown fox," Xiao Jinhan said. "I am the divine healer who saved the little fox, and also the immortal who shielded her from heavenly lightning."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yaoyao was stunned, staring at him intently for a long time, unable to recover from the shock.
The divine doctor and the immortal he mentioned were her past lives.
"Are you a miracle doctor?" Tang Yaoyao grabbed his hand. She saw that the miracle doctor who looked exactly like her was Huo Linfeng.
"Hmm, in my dream, the divine physician was actually an immortal. Isn't that strange? How could I have such a dream..."
Tang Yaoyao hugged him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "How did you fare after the immortal blocked the heavenly lightning?"
"He was banished to the mortal realm."
Tang Yaoyao couldn't help but cry. So that's how it is. It wasn't like what the immortal said at all. There was nothing he could do to him.
He didn't become a god, but instead became a mortal.
She never knew what became of the immortal, but instead became Xiao Jinhan.
And the miracle doctor was also him.
So he accompanied her through three lifetimes, but she never knew.
Tang Yaoyao was a little excited: "Fourth brother, you can't have anything happen to you in the future, I don't want to lose you again."
Xiao Jinhan hugged her and patted her head: "Yes, I will never leave you."
Just then, Ye Changfeng came in and reported the situation to her: "Miss Tang, the flowers have been removed. We checked the surveillance footage and found that Xu Wei disrupted the growth of the wine vines. She has been disciplined."
"So fast?" Tang Yaoyao hadn't expected it to be this fast.
Ye Changfeng said, "We also have to thank Mr. William. The potion he developed can inhibit the growth rate of the wine-tail flower."
"What about my seventh brother?"
“He went to rest. He said he needed to take a break for a while and visit his family.”
Tang Yaoyao wiped away her tears and looked at Xiao Jinhan: "Fourth brother, let's go home."
Xiao Jinhan said, "Okay, let's go home together."
He held Tang Yaoyao's hand. Whether the dream was real or not, whether the little fox was Tang Yaoyao or not, it didn't matter anymore. What mattered was the person in front of him.
Fortunately, Jiang Li's father was caught.
After sending Jiang Li to a mental hospital, he was afraid of taking responsibility and hid in the deep mountains. But the police were not to be trifled with and found him in two days.
He admitted that he was the one who poisoned him.
At first, Jiang Li and Fu Xiuchen corresponded. Jiang Li was originally unable to go on living because of domestic violence. After seeing Fu Xiuchen on TV, she had a new goal. Corresponding with him every day gave her hope to live.
She never talked about being abused by her father; she only talked to Fu Xiuchen about beautiful things.
It wasn't until Fu Xiuchen replied to his letter that his father saw it. His father became greedy and, considering Fu Xiuchen's status, wanted to blackmail him.
He forced Jiang Li to abandon his original intentions and write words that were extremely possessive.
Each letter was extremely insane and morbid, all forced by her father, who wanted Fu Xiuchen to take responsibility for his daughter.
After Fu Xiuchen stopped falling for the trap and ignored Jiang Li, his father's attitude also changed. He thought Jiang Li had climbed up to a powerful figure, but in the end, he completely ignored him.
