When the little rabbit pounced on her again, Ning Qing scooped her up in her arms.
He lowered his head and kissed those pink lips.
After the kiss, Ning Qing's eyes were filled with a smile.
"It's getting dark, let's go back."
The little rabbit's eyes flickered, and it reached out and tugged at Ning Qing's sleeve.
"How about we don't go back to the inn?"
Ning Qing stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with inquiry.
"Don't you want to go back to the inn? Where do you want to go?"
The little rabbit tilted its head back and kissed Ning Qing's chin.
"I still prefer to run freely in the mountains and forests."
Ning Qing understood. The little rabbit had lost interest in the excitement of the human world and wanted to return to its little wooden house in the mountains.
With a slight smile, he uttered a single word: "Okay."
With that, he turned and headed towards the mountains and forests.
Back in the cabin, the little rabbit continued its daily routine of catching a pheasant for Ning Qing to roast and eat.
The two of them would always sit on a large rock and eat together.
Two figures, one slightly taller and the other slightly shorter.
One person was gnawing on a chicken, while the other was nibbling on wild vegetable leaves.
An occasional glance and a smile exchanged between them exuded warmth and tenderness.
After the meal, the slightly taller figure would take out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wipe the other person's mouth.
The slightly shorter figure would laugh and jump into the other's arms, acting cute and asking for a hug.
The slightly taller figure lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with affection, and gently flicked the tip of his nose with a slightly bent finger.
He jokingly scolded, "You little lazybones."
As he spoke, he picked up the person in his arms, stood up, and walked into the house.
The lifespan of most monsters in this world that can transform into human form is around two hundred years, and this one has already come to an end.
The little rabbit was no exception; he lived for a total of two hundred and eighty years.
Even as his life came to an end, his appearance remained unchanged; he was still the same cute and playful young boy he once was.
Ning Qing, having cultivated a special technique, lived with the little rabbit for over two hundred years.
He looked exactly like the little rabbit, with no change in appearance.
When their lives came to an end, they lay side by side on the large bed in the wooden house.
Holding hands, they turned to look at each other and smiled, just like the two boys who first met.
As they looked at each other, their eyes were filled with an intense and unyielding affection.
The little rabbit looked up and gazed intently at Ning Qing.
After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Master, do you believe in an afterlife?"
Ning Qing paused slightly, and also gazed intently at him.
"believe".
The little rabbit's face lit up with a bright, sunny smile once again.
With effort, he gently scratched Ning Qing's palm with his fingertips.
"Then... in the next life, let's be together again, okay?"
Ning Qing looked at the smile on his face and nodded with difficulty.
I held tightly the slightly restless little hand in my hand.
He parted his thin lips slightly, "Okay, let's be together again in the next life."
The little rabbit's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Then let's make a pinky promise, just like humans do."
Ning Qing slowly extended her little finger and gently hooked it with his little finger.
A satisfied smile instantly appeared on the little rabbit's face.
His gaze remained fixed on Ning Qing, not shifting even for a moment.
He smiled again and slowly asked.
"In the next life, will you come to find me first, or will I come to find you?"
Ning Qing saw the expectation in his eyes.
"Just stand here and wait for me to come find you and protect you for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, the little rabbit seemed rather displeased and pouted its pink lips slightly.
He glanced at Ning Qing with difficulty before speaking.
"Will you protect me in the next life? Don't you love me anymore?"
Ning Qing's eyes were filled with doting affection, and she chuckled softly.
I wanted to raise my hand and rub his little head, but I couldn't move it, so I had to give up.
He coaxed her softly.
"Love, I will love you for a lifetime in the next life and protect you from all worries."
Upon hearing this, the little rabbit slowly closed its eyes in satisfaction.
