Yan Ze snapped his fingers, and Luo Jiu's disguise vanished completely.
It has fluffy rabbit ears, a soft tail like a ball of yarn, and blood-red eyes that never blink, looking adorably bewildered.
Yan Ze couldn't help but place his hand on it and rub it again and again, as if he had done it a thousand times.
"Your things?"
"How could this be? You're that fox? Impossible, you have a human body..."
Luo Jiu talked to herself for a while, then came to her senses and stared intently at Yan Ze with her red eyes, as if she wanted to bite him.
"You bombed me!"
Yan Ze laughed out loud, seemingly in a very good mood, and pinched her ear hard. How could she be so cute?
"You don't believe me?"
He met those blood-red eyes, slowly closed them, and when he opened them again, his black pupils held the unique patterns of a fox demon, causing Luo Jiu's heart to tremble.
"Then let me help you remember..."
"You stumbled into my cave in the heavy snow. I originally intended to eat you, but then I softened and let you go, asking you to help me... wash..."
"Hey hey hey..."
Luo Jiu recalled the series of shameful actions she had taken to save her life, and quickly covered Yan Ze's mouth as he spoke, her eyes darting around, her entire face turning the color of a peach.
"Stop talking..."
She murmured softly and shyly, which was incredibly cute.
Yan Ze couldn't help but pull her into his arms, and the cool scent instantly overwhelmed Luo Jiu's senses.
The man pressed his head against Luo Jiu's shoulder, his hot breath spraying all over her neck, bold and ambiguous, as if he had become the Crown Prince in her dream.
"I've finally found you..."
Why run?
Yan Ze couldn't understand why, when their time in the Enchanted Forest had been so warm and harmonious, she would leave with Wen Zhaobai without even a goodbye...
"I……"
Luo Jiu didn't know how to answer, so she opened her mouth but then fell silent.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Just stay by my side..."
"As long as you're still here..."
Luo Jiu sensed an extremely strong, intense, and passionate emotion from Yan Ze. He hugged her arm tightly, as if trying to melt her into his very bones, causing Luo Jiu to be momentarily flustered.
Luo Jiu didn't know how to respond to her. In that instant, memories of Yunshan, or perhaps her own intense emotions, overwhelmed her, causing Luo Jiu to involuntarily reach out and hug Yan Ze back.
Why did Master transform into the fox in the misty forest?
Luo Jiu tried to ignore the hands Yan Ze was holding, and met his gaze curiously to ask.
"As I told you before, during the great battle with the Demon King hundreds of years ago, I forcibly sealed him with my magic. I didn't expect him to have a backup plan, splitting off a wisp of his soul and letting it enter my body when I was weak..."
"I originally thought it would only damage my meridians, but later I learned that it would devour my memories, turn my body into a beast, and transform me into a fox. And I would lose that memory."
"So, when I saw you that time, it was actually your beast form?"
Luo Jiu cautiously examined Yan Ze, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
"What? You don't like foxes?"
Yan Ze narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a huge tail appeared behind him, wrapping around Luo Jiu's waist.
"No……"
Luo Jiu pulled off his tail, took a few steps back, and straightened her clothes.
"Master, you're quite different from before..."
"What? You don't like it?"
Yan Ze lifted Luo Jiu's chin suggestively and said in a gentle voice:
"There's nothing I can do about it... Now that you know all my secrets, you're mine now..."
Wen Zhaobai had already been awakened by the unusual spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Luo Jiu's room... only to later discover that it was Yan Ze's spiritual energy...
"Master?"
He leaned against the wall, but the dream of the dream-eating beast involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
He originally thought that his feelings for Luo Jiu were merely those between a senior and junior brother, and even if he had feelings for her, they were definitely not romantic love.
But one's state of mind shapes one's environment...
In his dream, Wen Zhaobai's love for Yunshan filled his entire life.
They had been inseparable since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and deeply in love. His fondness for spruce trees seemed to have become an essential part of his life.
Wen Zhaobai's love was intense and passionate, yet he was also cowardly and incompetent.
He recalled the spruce tree in his dream, but couldn't help thinking of Luo Jiu.
The girl he had brought out of the Misty Forest had gradually become his junior sister. He didn't know when, but every smile and gesture of hers had been deeply etched into his mind…
He unconsciously clenched his fist.
The master is in the room, what are they doing...?
Wen Zhaobai's mind became increasingly chaotic, with many fragments flashing through his mind, but one voice kept repeating in his head.
Should we hand her over again? Last time it was out of power, this time it's out of morality?
Wen Zhaobai, you're such a coward!
Thinking of this, Wen Zhaobai's eyes reddened, and he gripped the sword at his waist tightly.
This time I won't give up again. Luo Jiu was always mine!
At this moment, Wen Zhaobai could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams; intense love and jealousy overwhelmed him.
...
As dawn breaks, all things awaken.
With the secret recipe, it is believed that the epidemic in Luoxia City will soon be basically under control. However, there is an even more important issue at present.
The source of the epidemic may not be a natural disaster, but rather a man-made one.
Who exactly put the Dream Eater into the hands of this Grand Tutor Yu? What is their conspiracy...?
Yan Ze raised his hand, and a cloud of black mist floated in his palm.
With a "beep," the black mist gradually materialized into limbs, eyes, and a mouth. It floated in Yan Ze's hand, grinning, trying to escape, but was repelled by a white light the moment it touched the outside.
It wasn't giving up, and continued to ram its black head outwards, "bang bang bang," making it look painful to watch.
"Aaaaaah! Yan Ze! I'll kill you!!!"
Nothing is more despairing than giving someone hope only to extinguish it with your own hands.
Luo Jiu felt no sympathy whatsoever; it was its own fault for dragging her into that strange dream.
She reached out, wanting to tease the dark shadow, but just as she was about to touch it, the dream-eating beast bared its sharp fangs, trying to bite her... and was once again repelled by the white light.
"Pfft..." That's a bit silly...
Luo Jiu's eyes sparkled, a mischievous smirk playing on her.
"Okay, stop fooling around."
Yan Ze took the opportunity to grab her mischievous hand, his tone incredibly gentle.
Looking at the two hands clasped together, Wen Zhaobai's eyes darkened, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Yan Ze then changed the subject, addressing the black mist lurking in the corner:
"Dream Eater, you were sealed in the Demon Realm hundreds of years ago, why are you here now?"
