Chapter 294 Stealing Fragrance
Xiao Yu wanted to do this the last time he swore a blood oath, but due to his identity and limited movements, he failed.
This time I can finally stop her with a legitimate reason.
"That's fine, you're better." The fox fairy agreed. "What if she abandons you later? There's no point signing with her."
Xu Chuchu: “…”
Xiao Yu didn't care: "She won't."
The magic circle rose and a red light flashed. Both of them had experience, so they quickly swore a blood oath.
As long as Xiao Yu's arm heals, he must retrieve the Cang Yun Sword within a year, otherwise he will die painfully due to the backlash of his oath.
"Okay, you better get rid of that dampness in him, otherwise his arm won't be healed even if he goes up there." Xu Chuchu urged.
"Why are you rushing me? Women are always impatient." The fox fairy cursed. "Roll up your sleeves and remove the bandages. Hurry up, I need to sleep."
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu: "..."
The bandages were removed layer by layer, and without external support, the pain increased dramatically.
It is now evening. A whole day has passed since the last dressing change. Some rotten flesh has grown where the white bones and shoulders touch. It must be scraped off when the dressing is changed tomorrow.
The process of scraping the flesh was so painful that even if Xiao Yu didn't say a word, Xu Chuchu could feel it.
"Look..." Before Xu Chuchu could finish her words, she saw the fox fairy open her little mouth and blow a breath of fox fire towards Xiao Yu's arm.
The two were shocked and wanted to dodge, but they found that although the color of the fox fire this time was the same as before, it did not feel hot at all and could even be touched directly with the hands.
"How do you feel?" Xu Chuchu asked.
Xiao Yu felt it for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Very good."
The flames did not give him a burning sensation, but instead brought a warm feeling to his heart.
The biting cold that had been wrapped around him disappeared. Although there was still pain, it was more like an ordinary sword wound, not the continuous and unbearable one in the past.
"That's good." Xu Chuchu sighed.
"Is it almost done?" The fox fairy drooped his eyelids, quickly retracted the fox fire, and then burped.
This seemed to exhaust its strength again, and it fell limply onto the cushion.
"Hurry, hurry... help me..." It lay down and panted softly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chuchu's heart tightened, and he hurried over. "What do you want us to do for you?"
What if the fox fairy confessed himself to help them? How would they explain it to the fox clan?
The fox fairy struggled to open his eyes and stared at her.
"Tuck me in," he said.
"...Okay." Xu Chuchu resisted the urge to roll her eyes, carefully tucked the quilt in for him, and wrapped him into a ball.
The moment the quilt was tucked in, the fox fairy fell asleep completely, snoring softly and snoozing from time to time.
"It's really hard for Master to take care of it every day." Xu Chuchu shook her head and helped Xiao Yu tie the bandage.
"I think Master is kind-hearted and likes to take care of these poor little animals." Xiao Yu smiled.
"Yes, she used to be very nice to Daju." Xu Chuchu paused, "Do you really feel better?"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't change for the better, I will definitely pull the fox fairy out from under the quilt."
Xu Chuchu finally felt comforted: "That's good."
The two walked back together, and when they reached the fork in the road, Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu walked all the way.
"Why are you following me?" Xu Chuchu became alert. "Don't even think about it."
Xiao Yu chuckled: "What are you thinking? Am I that beastly? I'll see you off. It's dark and hard to walk."
You have.
What's so hard about going? To these fortune tellers, even the darkest night is as bright as day.
It feels good to be cared for, so Xu Chuchu finally acquiesced to his behavior.
"Okay, that's it." Standing at the door of her room, Xu Chuchu ordered them to leave. "Go back quickly. It's still more than an hour before dawn."
Xiao Yu hummed, but didn't move.
"Okay, go back." Xu Chuchu pushed him away helplessly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she grabbed Xiao Yu.
Before she could react, a familiar scent hit her face. Xiao Yu pushed her against the door and kissed her lightly.
"Well, you..."
The touch of the lips was soft and gentle, like a warm stream in spring, warm and moist.
Every time he got closer, he was cautious and stopped at just a few steps, for fear of her resistance and rebellion.
His body was lightly pressed against Xu Chuchu's. It was just a simple touch of clothes, but it gave Xu Chuchu a sense of tension and anticipation that he would get close to her at any time.
This guy is really good, isn’t he?
The kiss was not over yet. Xu Chuchu opened her eyes with great effort, but found that Xiao Yu had been looking at her with his eyes slightly open, with a hint of smile in his eyes, as if he was trying to judge from her expression what kind of kiss she preferred.
"Xiao Yu!" She pushed him away shyly, "Don't look at me at this time!"
Xiao Yu pursed her lips in aftertaste: "How do you look at me?"
"You..." Xu Chuchu was angry that he asked a question even though he knew the answer. She turned around and went back to her room, locking the door tightly.
"Go to bed early." Xiao Yu knew that she would not be really angry, but was more happy that the plan to steal the fragrance that she had been planning for several days had finally succeeded.
Neither of them slept that night.
…
The next day was the last day for Xia Wanqing to give Chen Zhao the ultimatum.
Chen Zhaozhi was busy for a few days, selling off the magical instruments he had hidden away before, and scraped together a decent amount of money for the betrothal gift.
He also contacted officials with whom he had been on good terms, asking them to revise a letter for him and speak well of Xia Shangshu - these officials were afraid of being eaten, so they all agreed.
Finally, he changed into a new robe and prepared to propose marriage.
He seemed very nervous and kept pacing around the yard, muttering to himself.
On the other side, Hu Shanshan walked out of the backyard with a small bag on her shoulder and the fox fairy and his basket in her hands.
"Mother, Grandpa? Are you going out?" Chen Zhaozhi was surprised.
"Yes, we are going back to Fox Mountain." Hu Shanshan answered sincerely.
"No..." Chen Zhaozhi was stunned for a moment, "Today is the day I propose marriage, you guys, don't you come and support me?"
In fact, his plan did not include letting Hu Shanshan and the fox fairy go to meet the Xia family, because they were pure demons and did not understand the twists and turns of the human world. He was afraid that they would scare the Xia family.
But I didn't expect them to leave today? At least stay and listen to the result!
"It's your business to find a wife. If you're capable of getting one, bring her back to Fox Mountain. If you're not, find another one." The fox fairy's face was full of disdain. "I've never heard of a fox needing its parents' help to find a mate."
