Three years later, deep in Qishan lived a family of three: a young couple and their young daughter.
Those who occasionally went into the mountains to hunt only knew that the family of three were like immortals, so the village at the foot of the mountain had a rumor that immortals came from Qishan.
Little did they know, the gods everyone was talking about were arguing.
"You little burden, you think you're so great? Believe me or not, I'll leave right now and I don't want you anymore!" A pleasant female voice came from the thatched hut.
"Tch, go if you want, don't go if you don't want to!" Then came a childish voice, sounding very young, but the tone was extremely arrogant.
"You... I'll beat you to death!" The woman was very angry, and then the sound of chasing could be heard.
"Beautiful Daddy, save Nine-Tailed Fox~" The childish voice rang out again.
"Nine-Tails, stop right there!" a male voice rang out. "Who's the strongest in this family?"
"My beautiful daddy is the best!" the little boy said in a fawning voice.
"No, the most powerful person in our family is Mother, you can't bully her!" After saying that, the man hugged the woman again. "Alright, Yueyue, calm down, why bother arguing with a child?"
"Hmph, you'll just have to protect her. Sooner or later she'll get the better of me!" the woman said angrily. She glared at the little child, panting, while the child hid behind the man and stuck his tongue out at her.
This person who fell asleep was none other than Leng Yue Qian Chen, who also had a burden named Nine-Tailed Fox. Why would Leng Yue call Nine-Tailed Fox a burden? It's entirely because Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't be given away for adoption, and the Anywhere Door's poop once again became capricious, ignoring them.
In other words, they are now trapped in this world again, unable to leave, and without any goals. They can only live in seclusion to raise the Nine-Tails.
“Actually, it’s not necessarily because of the Nine-Tails, is it?” Qianchen hugged Lengyue and rested his chin on Lengyue’s shoulder.
"If it wasn't her, then what could it be?" Leng Yue had already figured it out. This child was no ordinary person. At such a young age, she not only knew how to counter any move but also how to cause trouble at the right time. She was clearly a transmigrator who had been reborn.
“The Anywhere Door originally had its own consciousness. It must have wanted to tell us what’s here, otherwise it wouldn’t have stayed here.” Qian Chen also knew about Leng Yue’s prejudice against the Nine-Tailed Fox, but he was more rational, so he thought about it more deeply.
"I know, I know, I'm just worried about Zero." Leng Yue had long understood this, but she didn't like Nine-Tailed Fox pretending to be stupid and not knowing what she was thinking.
Having been married for so long, Qian Chen probably knew some of what Leng Yue was thinking. He gently chuckled in her ear, "Perhaps she doesn't trust him enough, and is afraid, that's why she's like this." Then he turned to look at Jiuwei, "Maybe one day, she'll be willing to tell me herself."
"I hope so." Leng Yue sighed as she looked at Jiuwei. Jiuwei lowered its head, its eyes no longer showing its innocence.
"Do you think the problem might still lie with the Immortal Spirit Pearl?" Leng Yue had already suspected it was related to the Immortal Spirit Pearl, but they had no connection with it, so she turned her attention to the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Qianchen shook his head, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Everything has its own destiny, so let's just get some rest."
“But I’ve rested for three years,” Leng Yue said, hugging Qian Chen. “I’ve had enough rest and I really want to see Ling soon.”
"Sigh, I also want to end all of this as soon as possible!" Qianchen sighed. It seemed that they had always been pushed forward by an invisible hand, never able to make their own choices. It was a terrifying thing. He still couldn't figure out who was controlling their lives.
"Let's leave Qishan. We should go and explore the mortal realm." Leng Yue suddenly looked earnestly into Qian Chen's eyes. "We won't get any answers here. Shall we go look for the Immortal Spirit Pearl again?"
“Alright,” Qianchen agreed after thinking it over. They hadn’t searched in the human world for long before because the Nine-Tails’ ears made things very inconvenient for them. But now that the Nine-Tails’ ears could retract freely, it was time for them to leave.
"Beautiful Daddy, are we leaving here?" Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly grabbed Qian Chen's sleeve, its big, wet eyes blinking, making people's hearts soften.
Leng Yue stood in front of Qian Chen, "Yes, Nine-Tailed Fox, we're about to leave this place and go find your biological father."
"No, no, no, Nine-Tails' father only has one beautiful father." Nine-Tails shook its head desperately, refusing to let go of Qianchen even at the cost of its life.
Leng Yue chuckled and couldn't help but tap Nine-Tailed Fox's forehead. "You, you really don't hide your obsession with good looks at all! If that's the case, why can't you tell us your secret?"
Nine-Tailed Fox released its grip, bowing its head in silence. Qianchen turned and went inside, not interfering.
Leng Yue sighed, "Alright, alright, it's not like we have to tell you. We just want to help you. If we can get out of here, maybe we can even take you home!"
Leng Yue thought, if the Nine-Tailed Fox really was a time traveler, wouldn't her family be very worried? In that case, wouldn't it be better to send her back? This place is not safe at all. Her own mother was killed, and the Nine-Tailed Fox is not tolerated by either the human or demon races, so wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
However, since Kurama herself was unwilling to say, she couldn't force her.
Leng Yue held Jiuwei in her arms, smoothing her hair with one hand, and said softly, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. We welcome you anytime you're willing to talk. As you know, we're not ordinary people. Although we may not be powerful enough yet, we might be able to take you home!"
"Alright, alright, are you two ready?" Qianchen came out carrying a package.
"Whether you believe it or not, we mean you no harm, but if you don't want to talk, we won't force you." Qianchen said the same thing as Lengyue. The Nine-Tailed Fox still didn't respond. Qianchen and Lengyue exchanged a glance and sighed, "Let's go, let's go for a stroll in the human world."
Qianchen carried the package the whole time, and Lengyue asked curiously, "Why don't you just put it in your Qiankun bag?"
"To avoid attracting attention." Qian Chen smiled. "Once we're in the human world, it's always better to be extra careful."
Leng Yue nodded, "You're so thoughtful. We probably won't be coming back to this thatched hut, so let's leave it for passersby to stay overnight."
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. I didn’t close the door, and I left a note on the table.” After Qianchen finished speaking, the two smiled at each other again; they had indeed thought the same thing.
Nine-Tailed Fox nestled in Leng Yue's arms, secretly watching the tender moments between the two, her eyes filled with envy. She rested her head on Leng Yue's shoulder, gazing at the thatched hut receding into the distance, a sense of inexplicable loss welling up inside her.
This is the first place in her life that she has ever felt like home. And it will surely become the place she cherishes most in the future.
"Shall we go to Shili Pavilion again?" A gust of wind blew by, and Leng Yue added a cloak to Jiuwei.
"Okay." Qianchen nodded.
“Let’s go visit Biluo first, and let her meet the Nine-Tailed Fox while we’re at it,” Leng Yue said again.
"Okay, my wife is right..." The group gradually walked away, and from then on, there were no more immortals in Qishan.
