Luo Jiu complained inwardly, but her hands remained very gentle.
Foxes are always good at enjoying themselves, especially with Luo Jiu's special care.
It slowly lay down on the haystack, its long, narrow fox eyes fixed on the busy figure in front of it.
This little creature has a unique affinity that makes it feel warm and extremely comfortable when it gets close, which is why it didn't eat her at first.
Since she has gone to such lengths, it wasn't in vain that I went to rescue her. So I'll allow her to stay by my side as my personal pet.
As the fox pondered this, it slowly closed its eyes, basking in Luo Jiu's caresses. Its nine long tails drooped down, making it look like a large, harmless plush pet.
As the days passed, the fox's wounds gradually healed, but it became increasingly lethargic. It slept even longer than during its hibernation period, but this did not affect Luo Jiu, who continued to eat and sleep as usual.
On this lush green grassland, only Luo Jiu and the fox demons lived, seemingly in seclusion in a paradise, disappearing from the sight of the world.
Two quarters of the year had passed, and just when Luo Jiu was so bored that she thought she had been abandoned by the system, a long-lost voice appeared in her mind.
[Host, according to the plot, the male protagonist has already gone to the western forest for training. Mission progress: zero percent.]
The voice belonged to 09, and Luo Jiu immediately recognized it. And 007…
[Ding! Keep up the good work, Master!]
Luo Jiu: "..."
I worried for nothing; I underestimated this broken system.
There are quite a few benefits to Luo Jiu following the great fox. With the guidance of the powerful demon, Luo Jiu is no longer the little fairy who would freeze to death in the cold weather.
She cast a spell and was instantly teleported to the western forest.
This is the forest where she was lured here by the butterfly last time; it's the territory of the snake demon.
The snake demon's threat was still fresh in Luo Jiu's mind, so she didn't dare to be careless. She cast another spell, and her originally snow-white fur turned gray, turning her into a gray rabbit.
If she gets targeted by that snake demon again this time, it's all the fault of this damn system. Why does it have to malfunction at this crucial moment? If she dies and goes to hell, this broken system won't have an easy time either.
As dawn approached, the towering trees enveloped the entire western district, bringing a chilly atmosphere.
It's getting late, the fox will wake up soon. If no one brushes its fur then, it might get all puffed up.
Hopefully you won't smell bad when we meet again.
Thinking of this, Luo Jiu smiled faintly. Looking at the misty forest in front of her, a sense of loss welled up in her heart.
I've only lived here for a few months, but I'm already a little reluctant to leave.
Indeed, habit is the most terrifying thing.
She wagged the rabbit's tail and hopped into the grass.
The Misty Forest to the west is home to many demonic beasts and rare treasures. A hundred years ago, it was taken by a powerful being who built a barrier to serve as a training ground for disciples of immortal cultivation.
The secret realm opens once every ten years. Luo Jiu waited for a long time on the snowfield, and finally the day the secret realm opened.
Needless to say, the protagonist is definitely among this group of cultivators. Luo Jiu only needs to get closer to find out who the male protagonist is.
What she's currently anxious about is how to get the male lead to lead her out of the secret realm without suspecting anything.
As she thought this, she dodged the attacks of the cultivators.
Ordinary cultivators are not interested in a minor demon like her with low spiritual power, but there are always some cultivators who like to eat rabbits, not for spiritual power, but simply to fill their stomachs. If she were eaten like a rabbit, Luo Jiu would be so angry that she would die.
Compared to those cultivators, the powerful demons in the deep mountains are actually easier to get along with. As long as you don't accidentally wander into the territory of a powerful demon, no one will suddenly come out to attack Luo Jiu, this little rabbit demon.
As she wandered aimlessly through the forest, the scent of fox and rabbit mingled with the fragrance emanating from her and slowly spreading throughout the misty woods on the breeze.
A dark green python lurked in the woods, following the scent, and slowly approached Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu was perched behind a large tree, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
The black snake opened its yellow eyes, taking in everything before it. Seeing that Luo Jiu was off guard, it swiftly attacked.
Snakes don't sense things by appearance; their tongues are exceptionally sensitive, able to distinguish tiny scent molecules in the air. As for Luo Jiu, this rabbit with a fox-like scent, Qingye had already etched that scent into its very bones.
"ah!"
Luo Jiu had just transformed into human form and was about to rest for a while under the big tree when the snake's tail wrapped around her body.
The cold touch, the hard scales, the dark green body, and the golden snake eyes.
When Luo Jiu met those eyes, she almost fainted from fright.
It's true what they say, what you fear most is what happens.
"Little thing, I told you, you can't escape."
Aoba's voice came through, carrying the pride of a victor.
He flicked his forked tongue, his slimy tongue tracing across Luo Jiu's face.
Luo Jiu's face turned pale.
Could it get any more disgusting? Let go of me, and I'll throw up right here!
"The unpleasant smell of the fox is finally gone."
Qingye transformed into human form in a good mood, but her tail remained wrapped around Luo Jiu, showing no intention of leaving.
"What exactly does that stinky fox see in you? Your flat body doesn't seem to have any use to you."
The snake demon scanned Luo Jiu from head to toe, finally revealing a contemptuous smile.
Luo Jiu: "..."
"But none of that matters anymore. You're really bold to actually come here. It seems that fox didn't think much of you. Tell me, if I eat you, will that fox even come back to collect your corpse?"
Seeing Luo Jiu's angry but speechless expression, Qing Ye burst into laughter.
"Oh, I forgot. We snakes never spit out bones when we eat."
A malicious smile appeared on his lips. With a flick of his snake tail, all that remained in front of Luo Jiu was a gaping, blood-red maw.
"Help!"
Aside from this word, Luo Jiu really didn't know how else to express the despair in her heart.
The system is the most useless thing.
As the snake's mouth drew closer and closer, Luo Jiu's thoughts drifted to a few fragments within those few seconds.
As expected, there was no escaping it after all, was there?
Luo Jiu closed her eyes in despair, awaiting the impending torment.
Just then, a pure white sword slashed through the sky, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound. Luo Jiu abruptly opened her eyes.
The longsword flew past Luo Jiu, aiming precisely for the snake demon's eyes.
The snake demon narrowed its eyes, its reaction incredibly swift. It twisted its body to dodge the incoming sword, and with a flick of its long tail, Luo Jiu was thrown heavily to the ground.
