As Xu Nian's consciousness faded, her last action was to have Yuan Bao put her shield on Yu Chen as well.
She's dead, but not completely dead.
Yuanbao squatted down at Yu Chen's feet and tears streamed down its face. It was all its fault for doing things wrong.
Yu Chen checked Xu Nian's condition. Her heart meridian was indeed broken, but there was still a breath of life, which was sustaining the little fox's life.
Seeing Yu Chen's furrowed brows, Yuanbao then used its paws to write words on the ground.
"You mean her consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep?" Yu Chen was surprised. If it weren't for the fact that this little fat pig didn't have any demonic aura, Yu Chen would have thought it was a sentient pig demon.
After nodding, Yuanbao continued to write and draw on the ground.
"Will she really wake up?" Yu Chen stroked the little fox's fur, remaining unusually silent.
Yuanbao nodded. The host would definitely wake up because she had been locked up by the main system, but it didn't know how long she would be locked up.
"It's good that there's hope." Yu Chen's biggest fear was that the little fox would never wake up again.
Now that there is hope, he can wait for the little fox to wake up, no matter how long it takes.
"Little pig, keep up with me. I won't be responsible if you get eaten by demons." Yu Chen held the little fox in one arm and formed a hand seal with the other, starting to clear out the rat demons around him.
Without the demonic accusation, these rat demons were just ordinary rat demons, making it much easier for Yu Chen to deal with them.
Yuanbao followed closely behind Yu Chen, its clever appearance catching Lu Chen's eye. This little fox pet was truly extraordinary.
It can write and understand human speech, but apart from not being able to speak, it has no demonic aura and looks just like an ordinary little suckling pig.
After a day's work, Yu Chen finally managed to rid the village of all the evil spirits.
Seeing the villagers' corpses scattered all over the ground, Yu Chen thought of the little fox's pitying expression and had no choice but to pile the corpses together and bury them.
From this day forward, Qingshi Village will cease to exist.
After taking care of everything, Yu Chen, carrying his little fox and followed by a chubby pig, left the village.
Yu Chen walked for a long time and searched for a long time before finally finding a satisfactory paradise.
The scenery here is beautiful; if we plant a whole grove of peach trees next year, the little fox will surely love it.
Yu Chen built a wooden house here, and the little fox lay on the wooden bed inside.
Yuanbao would sometimes come to visit Xu Nian, and sometimes help Yu Chen dig the ground to plant peach trees.
"No wonder the little fox likes you so much." Yu Chen looked at the little fat pig who was trying his best to dig a hole with all four paws and a smile appeared on his lips.
But in an instant, his spirits plummeted again. "Little fox, when will you wake up? You've been asleep for a year."
"Awooo!" Yuanbao ran over and howled at Yu Chen.
"What's wrong, little fat pig?" Yu Chen asked curiously. This little fat pig had never grown up. It looked the same when it arrived.
Yuanbao started writing on the ground, then looked at Yu Chen expectantly.
"Is this evil spirit absolutely necessary to be eliminated?" Yu Chen frowned. Why did the little fox bring him to exorcise the evil spirit in the first place?
"Awooo!" Yuanbao nodded and pointed in the direction of the wooden house with its paw.
"Alright! I understand. She'll definitely be unhappy if she wakes up and sees this world ravaged by demons!" Yu Chen put down his hoe, returned to the cabin, picked up the still-sleeping little fox, and, led by Yuanbao, went out to exorcise demons.
The places to exorcise demons vary, and sometimes it takes several months to travel there, and sometimes even a year to return.
Yu Chen repaired the log cabin again and again, and the number of demons he exorcised also increased.
At the same time, he discovered that he had a mysterious protection over him. The little fat pig said that it was given to him by the little fox, who was afraid that something bad might happen to him.
The little fox is so stupid. Why doesn't it use such a good thing for itself? Now it can only sleep all day and can't even get up to play.
Little fox, I miss you so much. Please wake up and talk to me.
Yu Chen stroked the little fox, and his eyes welled up with tears again.
Time passed, and Yu Chen's life consisted of nothing but exorcising demons and returning to this paradise to plant peach trees and repair his house.
The expectation on his face faded, and besides waiting day after day, he didn't know what he could do.
Little fox, when will you wake up?
I've waited for you for ten years.
If you don't wake up soon, your husband will grow old.
Yu Chen, who has already started growing a beard, is basking in the sun while holding a little fox.
His hair was tied up with a fox-shaped hairpin.
He made two hairpins when he made this one, and he kept the one with the little fox close to his body.
He longed for the little fox to wake up so he could personally put the hairpin in her hair.
Little fox, the peach blossoms are so beautiful this year, it's a pity you don't want to wake up and can't see them.
Little fox, the peach tree has yielded a lot of peaches this year, and your little fat pig goes to bump into the peach tree every day to pick and eat the peaches. You need to keep an eye on him.
Little fox, I brewed a lot of peach blossom wine this year, but I didn't expect your little fat pig to have such a keen nose. It dug up several jars of my wine and drank them all, turning itself into a drunken pig.
Little fox, I've vanquished another great demon today, and now I'm thanked wherever I go.
Would you be happy and like me if you saw me like this?
Little fox, you've been sleeping for so long, why aren't you awake yet?
Your husband is really getting old.
Yu Chen looked at the gray hairs starting to grow on his head and smiled bitterly. "Little pig, do you think I can wait until she wakes up?"
Yuanbao lowered its head, unsure whether Yu Chen would be able to wait for Xu Nian.
But there is still hope; it has seen everything Yu Chen has done over the years.
Yes.
Even though Yu Chen knew that the little pig had written it out of reluctance to disappoint him, the mere two words on the ground brought a hopeful smile to his face.
"Little pig, do you think the little fox will be disgusted with me if he sees me like this now?"
No, it won't.
"Little pig, I'm old, don't lie to me."
I'm not kidding you.
"Little pig, has the world settled down now?"
Yes.
"So, does that mean I can just stay by her side from now on and not have to go out and catch demons anymore?"
Can.
The two simple words made Yu Chen smile. He lay down on the recliner he had made, holding his little fox, and began another day of sunbathing.
In the days that followed, he raised a flock of chickens and cultivated a vegetable garden.
Every few days, Yu Chen would catch a chicken to practice cooking, trying to learn how to make chicken in various flavors.
Yu Chen almost killed all the chickens several times.
Little fox, I have something to tell you. Today I learned how to make roast chicken, and tomorrow I'll learn how to make Sichuan-style spicy chicken.
Little fox, I've learned how to make Sichuan-style spicy chicken. How about we make steamed chicken tomorrow?
Little fox, I've learned more than a dozen ways to cook chicken, why aren't you awake yet?
Little fox, if you don't wake up soon, you won't get to eat the chicken I made myself.
Yu Chen kept talking to the little fox, but when he got tired, he started crying again.
Little fox, my time is really running out. Don't you want to wake up and look at me one last time?
