Seeing it looking at her ingratiatingly, its large tail wagging so hard it was almost a blur, she silently turned her head away.
Undeniably, it's cute and adorable, but considering its identity and the things it's doing now, she was speechless.
"Mengmeng, try not to be so greedy in the future," Xu Nian said meaningfully.
"Okay, okay." Yin Mengmeng blushed awkwardly.
Oh no, Xu Nian found out that she had stolen the roast chicken.
You can't blame her for that!
That's roast chicken! She hadn't eaten meat in ages, and she wanted to eat it as soon as she saw it. What could she do?
However, in reality, Xu Nian did not skimp on the meat Yin Mengmeng ate.
It's probably because Yin Mengmeng was starving before, and now that someone is suddenly feeding her, her suppressed true nature has been exposed.
She craves anything edible, even when she's full.
Despite her gluttony, her medical practices remained unchanged: she still didn't charge patients who didn't need money, and she would still give them free medicine.
Whenever they went to a new place, Yin Mengmeng would set up a free clinic, while Xu Nian would meditate and cultivate behind her. Sometimes, he would also go to the vicinity of the clinic to exorcise demons and monsters.
The two didn't talk much, but they were both doing what they liked.
Before we knew it, we had been together for more than half a year.
Yin Mengmeng was protected by Xu Nian and still had food to eat, so she was happy every day.
She usually did the laundry and cooking on a whim, and later it became a habit for her to take care of everything herself.
Because it was agreed that if Xu Nian got injured, she would take care of all the medical treatment.
However, after more than half a year, Yin Mengmeng had only treated Xu Nian's minor abrasions a few times.
Feeling that her efforts were not commensurate with her rewards, she took on all the chores she could handle.
She doesn't understand or can help with demon-slaying, but she can take care of Xu Nian's life.
She only hoped that, given how diligent she was, the other party would continue to provide her with meals.
Most importantly, having Xu Nian by my side really makes me feel much safer.
After being with her, Yin Mengmeng clearly felt that she was no longer being deceived by anyone.
Moreover, if any unclean things come knocking, Xu Nian can easily deal with them.
If she encounters something powerful, she will prioritize her safety before slowly taking care of those things.
Every time Yin Mengmeng saw Xu Nian make a move, she wanted to cheer from the sidelines, saying, "Sister is so cool, I love her so much!"
She's already become a devoted fan.
Yin Mengmeng doesn't even dare to think about how miserable her life would be if Xu Nian didn't accompany her one day.
...
We've arrived at another small village.
After explaining their purpose to the villagers, the two successfully found a place to stay in a small, dilapidated house.
The house is a bit dilapidated, but at least it can keep out the wind and rain.
When someone comes, Yin Mengmeng will treat them; when no one comes, she will go to the neighborhood to collect some herbs.
There were no demons or monsters in the village, so Xu Nian took the little white fox and Yuanbao hunting.
One night, while preparing poison, Yin Mengmeng suddenly asked, "Xu Nian, will you get married?"
She was terrified that one day some scoundrel would suddenly appear and seduce her benefactor.
"Yin Mengmeng, I am a Taoist priest." Xu Nian sat on a small wooden stool, wiping her peach wood sword, but her eyes subconsciously glanced in the direction of the little white fox.
"So what if you're a Taoist priest? Taoist priests can get married too! Sigh! Tell me, what kind of person do you like?" Yin Mengmeng put away the poison in her hand, walked to Xu Nian's side with a playful smile, nudged Xu Nian with her elbow, and her eyes were burning with gossip.
The little white fox in the distance also pricked up its ears when it heard Yin Mengmeng's question, looking over with such focused attention that it was afraid of missing Xu Nian's answer.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it." Xu Nian put down the peach wood sword in her hand, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.
She truly didn't know what she liked about that person, just as she didn't know what that person liked about her!
"Yin Mengmeng, what about you? What kind of man do you like?" Xu Nian turned her head and stared into Yin Mengmeng's eyes as she asked.
In the original story, Yin Mengmeng was not married. Before she met the fox demon king Mo Xuanfeng, did she ever have a girlish heart?
After she gets married, she can no longer follow her around and protect her like she does now. So how should this mission be judged?
"Me...!"
Yin Mengmeng narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, a look of longing appearing on her face. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "I like upright men who are responsible and dependable, and who can also fight for justice with me."
"Unfortunately, I have never met any of them. The men who had designs on me all felt that it was immoral for a young woman like me to be out in public, helping people with medical treatment and free clinics."
"Xu Nian, do you think I was really wrong?" Yin Mengmeng looked at Xu Nian with a confused expression.
She was clearly confused, or perhaps not confused, but rather felt that being rejected by so many people made her wonder if what she was persisting in still had any meaning.
"Yin Mengmeng, do you care a lot about what others think of you?" Xu Nian looked Yin Mengmeng up and down.
She lowered her eyes, her face showing vulnerability.
Someone who is usually so cheerful and strong can also be insecure.
“Xu Nian, what I care about more than myself is not being able to save more people.”
Do you think I'm conflicted?
"On one hand, I want someone to understand me and be there for me, and on the other hand, I don't want to give up my original idea." Yin Mengmeng looked up with melancholy. If there were wine at this moment, she would like to pull Xu Nian to have a few drinks.
"You have no contradiction!"
"You just want others to understand you and acknowledge you. When people are lonely for a long time, they want to find their own kind."
"That's not wrong, it's only human nature." Xu Nian's tone was flat, and her few dry words offered no comfort whatsoever.
