Chapter 207: The Fox Spirit (20)
Tired from playing, Wen Wan's stomach started to rumble. She took out a spirit stone and started chewing on it, while Gu Xuefeng took out a model-like object and threw it on the ground. Instantly, the model transformed into a beautiful house, looking exactly like the house in Qianxue Palace. Wen Wan's eyes widened in astonishment. Was this the world of cultivation? This was too amazing!
Wen Wan ran inside and found that every plant and tree was just like Qianxue Palace, except that there was no snow that could be seen all year round. Instead, the peach blossoms made it seem like spring was exceptionally warm.
Standing in the courtyard of Qianxue Palace, Gu Xuefeng's brows also took on a warmer hue, as if a high and mighty snow mountain immortal had suddenly been possessed by a peach blossom spirit, and suddenly became alluring.
Wen Wan swallowed unconsciously.
"Stop looking at me like that, you're just a fox now, he's the heroine's official love interest."
Gu Xuefeng quickly brought out some barbecue grills and ingredients, which shocked Wen Wan.
The fire was quickly lit, and then Wen Wan watched as Gu Xuefeng, who usually held a pen or a sword, actually held a skewer of barbecue and began brushing seasoning onto the meat.
Wen Wan: "!!!" Was she so craving barbecue that she was hallucinating? How could she possibly imagine Gu Xuefeng grilling meat for her? How could she even think of that?
"come over."
Wen Wan ran over and saw Gu Xuefeng bring her a skewer of grilled meat. The taste was absolutely amazing. Wen Wan swallowed and couldn't help but bite off the meat from the skewer. The meat was tender, cooked to perfection, and the sauce was fragrant. In short, it was the best grilled meat she had ever eaten. Even Si Xun's grilled meat was not as good as Gu Xuefeng's.
"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious, delicious, absolutely amazing!" Wen Wan nodded and said.
After that, one person fed the fox, and when Wen Wan was full and stuffed, she remembered that Gu Xuefeng had been grilling for her and she hadn't eaten yet when Gu Xuefeng handed her the meat. So she stretched out her paw and pushed the grilled meat in front of Gu Xuefeng.
"You eat."
Gu Xuefeng opened her mouth and took a bite. Wen Wan watched Gu Xuefeng eat the barbecue with such an ethereal air that she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Is this what they call being able to feast one's eyes on something beautiful?
Gu Xuefeng ate a few skewers and then stopped.
"Do you think my grilling is better than Si Xun's?" Gu Xuefeng suddenly asked. Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, and finally had a somewhat unlikely thought. The reason why Gu Xuefeng brought her here and even made grilled meat for her was because he knew that she had eaten grilled meat at Si Xun's place? So he was jealous? A man and a fox are both jealous. He really is the male lead.
"Yours is delicious."
Wen Wan said decisively, "That's the truth, not a bit false."
Gu Xuefeng felt much better, and then reached out and took out a demon core. Wen Wan was shocked when she saw the demon core, and her hair stood on end in fright.
What does the male protagonist mean? Why did he take out a demon core? Could it be that he knows his true identity, cooked him a barbecue to make up for the pet relationship they've been having for so long, and then intends to kill him in the name of righteousness?
No way, really?
"This is good for your health, eat it."
Wen Yan: "???"
Wen Wan stared at Gu Xuefeng in shock. Gu Xuefeng looked at her and said, "You think I don't know your identity? Aren't you underestimating me?"
Wen Yan: "..."
There was no other way but to run. Wen Wan turned and ran, crying out, "System, help me! I'm going to die!"
Gu Xuefeng frowned and grabbed him in her hand. "Why did you run? I won't kill you."
Wen Yan: "???"
What did the male lead say? He won't kill her?
But she's a demon, so why isn't Gu Xuefeng killing her?
"real?"
"This is a demon core. If you eat it, you can continue your cultivation. However, you must stay by my side. If you dare to escape, I will definitely kill you. If you dare to do evil, I will not let you go either. If you behave, I will naturally spare your life."
"You're not lying to me?"
Wen Wan knew that Gu Xuefeng never lied, and she didn't think that a useless fox like herself was worth Gu Xuefeng lying to. So this must be true; Gu Xuefeng really didn't intend to kill her.
That's good. As long as she's not killed, anything is fine.
Looking at the demon core in Gu Xuefeng's hand, Wen Wan was still hesitant to eat it. After all, she had just eaten a portion of the demon core from the thousand-year-old fox demon that Yao Ye had given her. If she ate the demon core from some unknown demon, wouldn't there be a problem? What if the male lead let her go, but she died from food poisoning? That would be such a waste!
Gu Xuefeng reached out and examined Wen Wan's body. Suddenly, he frowned. The next second, a beam of white light entered Wen Wan's body. Wen Wan felt a sharp pain, and then several small demon cores were sucked out. Wen Wan's eyes widened.
"What is this? Who gave it to you?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"Who have you seen?" Gu Xuefeng's face darkened, and the oppressive aura emanating from him nearly terrified Wen Wan. She froze, too scared to move, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Gu Xuefeng suddenly stopped.
He should be the one who's angry, right? This little thing is acting like it's wronged?
"This demon core is too full of demonic energy, and the owner of the demon core must have been extremely bloodthirsty and committed many sins in his lifetime. If you swallow the whole demon core, you will become a demon without conscience, who only knows how to kill."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
That Yao Ye is definitely no good; he's actually waiting here to trick me.
Wen Wan was so frightened that she grabbed Gu Xuefeng's arm, "Save me, I don't want to become an evil demon."
"So don't trust everyone in the future, or you'll end up being betrayed without even knowing it."
Wen Wan nodded. Gu Xuefeng disposed of the thing. "This demon core is the Snow Demon's demon core. I have already removed most of its demonic nature. You eat it."
Wen Wan: "Won't I explode and die if I eat this?"
"Believe me."
Wen Yan: "..."
The system hadn't returned yet, so she didn't dare to eat, but looking at the male lead's face, she didn't know how to refuse.
"You're not trying to kill me, are you? You're not lying to me, are you? I'm only in my twenties, I have a long life ahead of me, and I haven't done anything heinous. I don't want to die."
Gu Xuefeng: "..." This fox is muttering something strange to itself.
So he directly injected the demon core into the fox's body. Wen Wan instantly felt a chill enter her body, as if her body temperature had been instantly drained, and her whole body became stiff, as if even her blood had stopped flowing.
Is she really going to die?
If she dies before the system returns, the mission will fail, and the system will have no chance of coming back.
She's so pitiful.
However, the next second, a comfortable feeling entered her body from Gu Xuefeng's hand, easing her frozen body. Wen Wan felt herself slowly coming back to life.
After a very long time, Wen Wan felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but fall asleep.
While channeling spiritual energy into the fox to soothe the fusion between the demon core and the fox's body, Gu Xuefeng also had to prevent the demon core from consuming its owner. After all, the demon core still contained a trace of the original owner's soul, and many who consumed demon cores would suffer a backlash, resulting in numerous deaths.
The event lasted for about three days. Wen Wan had many dreams in her sleep, sometimes dreaming that she was still alive in her past life. In fact, her life was really ordinary and boring. Her childhood was tragic, but she was much luckier than many people because she met many good people.
As I grew up, I didn't achieve anything remarkable, nor did I see anything particularly extraordinary. My life was ordinary, without anything special about it. Who would have thought that I, who thought I would live such an ordinary life, would be struck by lightning and die?
This is definitely the biggest joke that God has ever played on her.
I dreamt of some strange things, of snow covering the mountains and fields, and of a figure traveling through the snow-covered mountains.
Give me your body.
Wen Wan was so frightened that she tried to wake up, but the figure followed her closely, trying to take over her body.
"Help!!!"
A warm feeling wafted over, and the snow-white, ghostly figure slowly dissipated. She was sleeping very soundly, but she knew that she was safe now, lying in a warm place.
When Wen Wan woke up, she felt lazy and comfortable all over. The sun was shining brightly and there was a sweet fragrance of peach blossoms. She lay in bed while Gu Xuefeng sat beside her reading a book.
The moment she woke up, Gu Xuefeng looked over and asked, "Awake?"
Wen Wan: "Mm."
"The demon core has already fused with you, but if you want to cultivate, you will need to recuperate for a period of time. I have sealed the demonic energy on your body, and no one but me can break the seal on you."
Wen Wan nodded. That was fine; at least she didn't want to become a demon.
"We've been out for too long, it's time to go back."
Gu Xuefeng carried Wen Wan in his arms and then flew away on his sword, leaving behind the house that looked just like the Qianxue Palace on the island.
Back to Xuezong.
Upon entering Qianxue Palace, Wen Wan seemed truly unafraid of the cold, as she hadn't taken any cold-resistant pills. Gu Xuefeng remarked, "You won't need to take any more from now on."
"Now that you're ready to cultivate, you shouldn't go out to play all the time."
Wen Yan: "..."
Although it was good that her life wasn't in danger, she didn't know how the demon race cultivated, and she didn't know how!
Gu Xuefeng shouldn't know this, after all, he's a cultivator, how could he know the cultivation techniques of the demon race? So she'd better wait for the system to come back before making a decision.
Wen Wan spent several days by Gu Xuefeng's side before the system finally returned, and then she was shocked.
[Host, what's wrong?]
Wen Wan told the system about the recent events, and the system was shocked.
[You mean the male lead found you a demon core, helped you fuse with it, and didn't kill you with a single sword strike? He even kept you by his side?]
Wen Wan nodded. "System, now I can cultivate. Do you have any teachings for demons on how to cultivate? I don't have the original owner's memories, so I don't know how! If I cultivate, will I be able to turn into a human? How long will it take? I also don't know what the original owner looked like. I'm really looking forward to it."
