Don't be angry, don't be angry
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned. She suppressed the urge to point her finger at herself and asked in disbelief, "Do you really know what I want to say?"
She herself doesn't know...
She had just opened her mouth in surprise, but didn't know what to say, so she closed it again... and the fox said it knew what she wanted to say?
And what strange things does this fox say? What does "I am not such a casual fox" mean? ? ?
Why are we talking about this...? Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but look confused.
"Hmph..." The red fox raised his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "I know everything, so stop pretending." He opened one eye and glanced at her proudly, saying, "You thought I was going to refuse, so you pretended not to understand... You're such a pretentious person..."
Jiang Jingyuan: "???"
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. This fox might not be very smart..." Jiang Jing took a deep breath and thought to himself.
After calming down, Jiang Jingyuan was about to ask the fox what it understood when she saw the fox in front of her stand up, raise its head towards her and say, "Alright, I didn't refuse you. It's too early to pretend you don't understand now! Come with me, and keep up!"
As soon as the sweet voice fell, the long-haired fox trotted forward on all fours on the thick snow. Jiang Jingyuan looked at it and it looked like a ball of blazing fire running and burning in the snow.
Jiang Jingyuan paused for a moment, then raised his foot to catch up with the red-haired fox that was jumping nimbly in the snow.
…………
As the snow fluttered, rows of small plum-shaped footprints gradually appeared on the vast snowfield. Then, traces of people walking began to appear next to the plum-shaped footprints.
Walking between the bare black tree trunks, Jiang Jingyuan raised his head and suddenly saw a simple but not shabby wooden house in front of him.
There was a thin layer of snow on the roof, and the cottage stood tall in the white snow, as if isolated from the world.
"Crack..."
A flamboyant red figure stretched out its claws and pushed open a window of the hut. The whole fluffy red fox jumped into the window nimbly and agilely.
Jiang Jingyuan stood outside the house and watched.
Not long after, a furry fox face biting an ancient scroll pushed open the window and jumped out.
The fluffy red fox shook its fur and landed on all fours in the snow. It had a bundle on its back. It took the scroll from its mouth with its paw and handed it to the girl in front of it.
"Hmph..." The red fox raised his head proudly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and said, "Seeing how eager you are, I can't refuse you, but you must do what is written in the scroll!"
Jiang Jingyuan paused, then reached out to take the scroll but didn't open it. She was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is this place? Is this the Grandma Forest Center?"
"Grandma Forest?" The red fox was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded with a curled lip, "Yes, this is the inner area of Grandma Forest, but we usually call this place..."
"The ruins of the gods."
Sure enough... Almost at the same time Jiang Jingyuan heard these words, the tall statue and the graceful figure beside the statue unconsciously emerged in her mind.
Jiang Jingyuan glanced at the wooden house in front of him, nodded, opened the scroll in his hand, and looked down.
The first sentence on the scroll read:
1. Attention! The fox in front of you is extremely precious!
Jiang Jingyuan paused and looked up at the fox in front of him. The red fox was sitting upright on the snow, with its head tilted back and eyes squinted, the corners of its mouth raised wildly, as if it was fantasizing about some beautiful vision.
Jiang Jingyuan lowered his head and continued to look:
2. You need to provide this precious fox with a dry, quiet and spacious environment, and change its bedding and clothes every day.
3. You need to provide the fox with candied fruits, spiritual beasts, qi-nourishing pills, and high-level magic tools to nourish its soul every day.
4. Do not interfere with or restrict the fox's whereabouts. You need to prepare flower soup for the fox to bathe every day when it returns home, and comb its fur at least twice a day.
Jiang Jingyuan's gaze paused when she saw this. She calmly glanced at the ancient scroll hanging from her hand, which was so long that it was dragging on the snow, and suddenly rolled it up.
She clutched the scroll. Although she already had a guess in her mind, she still looked up at the fox in front of her and asked cautiously, "What do you mean? Why did you give me this scroll?"
The red-haired fox opened one eye, glanced at her, snorted, and said, "Isn't it just that you saw I couldn't walk? Do you really have to tell me? Don't you just want to make a contract with me? If you do what's written on the scroll, I can go out with you."
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
So you really want to make a contract with me... Jiang Jingyuan felt a complicated feeling in her heart. She took a deep breath, handed the scroll in her hand forward, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'm too poor to do this."
The red fox in front of them, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed, was caught off guard by the words and was stunned. He opened his big, watery black eyes like grapes and looked at the girl in astonishment. He opened and closed his mouth, and finally said, "Uh... Actually... Actually, there's no rush for those things on the scroll. Since you're so poor, then you can work hard in the future. When you have money, you can talk about the things on the scroll later..."
Jiang Jingyuan didn't respond, but kept handing the scroll to him and said, "I'm sorry."
In an instant, the red fox's pair of black eyes began to tremble wildly and uncontrollably. It looked at the indifferent girl in front of it, and its body began to tremble gradually.
The girl in the snow lowered her head and eyes, and did not see the red-haired fox in front of her with a pair of big black eyes filled with crystal tears.
The girl just looked down but was actually indifferent. She stretched out her hand and handed over the ancient scroll without saying anything else.
The red fox trembled all over, angrily raised its paw to slap the scroll out of Jiang Jingyuan's hand, turned around and ran away.
It knows that people are very smart.
If it really just didn't want to meet the requirements on the scroll, then the person in front of it would most likely pretend to agree when it compromised. As for whether they had the money or could meet the requirements later, that was all up to them... But the person in front of it didn't do that. Even after it said that, the person in front of it still didn't agree... That was...
That is...
I really don't want to make a contract with it...
A red-haired fox, like a ball of blazing fire, ran across the snow, tears streaming down its face. "Pah..." The small bundle on its back suddenly fell apart, and plump, red persimmons fell onto the snow, rolling a few times. The cloth wrapped around the persimmons fluttered down onto the white snow...
The red fox subconsciously looked back in panic, but it saw the girl standing not far away. It hardened its heart and turned around with tears in its eyes and continued to run away.
In the white snow, the bright and fiery figure disappeared from Jiang Jingyuan's sight in an instant.
Jiang Jingyuan withdrew his gaze indifferently, bent down to pick up the scroll in the snow, and walked towards the messy pile of persimmons.
Directly rejecting the Red Fox wasn't a good option. If she were a bit more ruthless, she could simply agree to the contract and take him away as a helper, or else she could figure out a way to leave and then part ways with the Red Fox...
But she is not that cruel after all. She has always been indifferent, not cruel.
What she wants is the Blood Seal, and she will fight for it unless she dies - this is a murky place, full of blood and killing, and no one knows whether to live or die.
She only wants to control her own destiny and not care about other people. Not caring means being indifferent, and in many cases, indifference is also a kind of soft-heartedness.
Jiang Jingyuan picked up the persimmons one by one, wrapped them up with the cloth, and placed them on a huge rock together with the scroll.
She straightened up and looked up at the wooden house in front of her.
As for the fox…was it a helper? Jiang Jingyuan didn't know. But she knew that she couldn't take care of herself, so if she took it out, it would be a tool. Whether it was bitter or sweet, whether it was hurt or wronged, it had to lick it alone.
Since you live in this paradise and since you are a precious fox, you should not easily set foot in the mundane world which is like a deep abyss and a quagmire.
——This is Jiang Jingyuan’s indifference, but also her softness towards beauty.
Jiang Jingyuan turned and walked away, stepping on the thick snow and looking for a way out in the drifting fine snow.
Behind her, behind a thick black tree trunk at the side of the wooden house, a fluffy red head poked out, looking in the direction where Jiang Jingyuan was going away, its tearful eyes trembling slightly.
The red fox retracted its gaze only after the girl's figure disappeared in the vast snow scene. After a pause, it saw the small bundle and scroll placed on the boulder.
The tears in the red fox's eyes suddenly burst out again.
…………
Jiang Jingyuan climbed over two small hills and walked in one direction, but what he saw was always the endless snow scene.
The wind and snow blew off the plush hood of her cloak. Jiang Jingyuan stopped and turned her head to look around.
"Not surprisingly... Without the right method, you won't get out of here by just walking forward." Jiang Jingyuan thought, "Since this is the ruins of a god, it's naturally impossible to leave by walking alone. Just like when I got here, I also relied on teleportation or some secret method of space folding..."
"We've been walking for so long, and the only living thing we saw was the fox. It should know how to leave here..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan sighed.
She had just rejected the fox like that, and now it didn't know where to hide and sulk, so it definitely wouldn't give her directions.
Although Jiang Jingyuan felt somewhat helpless, she didn't have much regret. The main reason was that she hadn't been provoked and was quite normal. She wouldn't do something so heartless as to use someone and then abandon them...
Jiang Jingyuan silently consoled himself: "If there is one, there will be two. If there is a fox here, there must be other living creatures. I just haven't encountered them yet."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded secretly and made a plan in his mind: "If I meet a strong one, I will run away. If I meet a weak one, I will either trade with him or beat him up and then interrogate him..."
After figuring it out, Jiang Jingyuan raised her hand and pulled up the fluffy hood to cover her head to block the wind and snow. She was about to continue walking forward when she suddenly heard a "Hmph!" from behind.
A ball of fiery red ran past her, glanced back at her, and then leaped into the snow and ice ahead.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned.
