As the bronze door closed completely, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but reveal a hint of despair.
"It's all your fault! I told you not to come in, but you insisted! I knew there was something wrong here!"
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
"Oh ho! You're threatening me! Just tell me if it's your fault or not!"
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
"If you keep muttering, I'm leaving you to fend for yourself!"
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
"Chao! What a sly fox!"
Shen Yunhao grabbed the fox's ears with his other hand and pulled them outwards.
The little fox closed its eyes, looking completely relaxed.
"Hey? So ears can do that too!"
Having discovered this secret, Shen Yunhao tried to let go of the tail.
"Awoo!"
A moment later, Shen Yunhao looked at the extra bloodstains on his arm, his face filled with despair.
"The fox's tail must not be allowed to run!"
As soon as the tail was released, the left hand that was pinching the ears suffered the consequences.
Just then, the fox below suddenly shook its head, uttering Bai Xiaoruo's weak voice, "My head... my head hurts so much... my tail... you bad guy, don't use so much force..."
"Xiao Ruo! You're awake!"
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. But when he looked down, the clarity in his fox eyes was immediately covered by a scarlet color!
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
"Chao! It was only awake for a short while, and it's gone again!"
Shen Yunhao cursed under his breath, but a thought suddenly struck him.
"That stinky fox suddenly waking up just now doesn't seem like a coincidence! There must be a reason!"
He looked at his bleeding right hand. "Could it be because of my blood? That shouldn't be the case. When he bit my neck, I bled quite a bit too. Why was I only conscious for a moment this time?"
What's different about this blood compared to the last one...?
Just then, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck my mind!
"The Heart of the Vast Ocean! The Heart of the Vast Ocean can dispel this negative state..."
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao did not hesitate, and his left hand, which was pressed on the little fox's forehead, emitted a series of soft blue lights.
Amidst the overwhelming red light, this small patch of azure blue resembled an oasis in a vast desert, quietly calming the despair in one's heart.
only……
The water shimmered for a while, but the little fox below remained motionless.
"It's useless? How could it be..."
"Stop pinching me..."
"Um?"
"I told you to stop pinching me..."
The fox turned its head, and a pitiful look appeared in its pink peach blossom eyes. "I have no strength left..."
"!!!"
Shen Yunhao's face lit up with joy, and he bent down, "You're finally awake!"
"Hmm..."
The little fox quickly turned its head away, not daring to meet Shen Yunhao's gaze.
"Um?"
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening. After looking around and finding no danger, he released his tail and rolled off the big fox.
"It's a situation I have to deal with... Don't be angry..."
Only then did Bai Xiaoruo turn her head and look at the wounds on Shen Yunhao's neck and shoulder.
"Does it hurt...does it hurt?"
"ah?"
Shen Yunhao hadn't expected that the little fox's first concern upon waking up on this perilous third level would be his injuries. He immediately shook his head and said, "It's nothing! I have the Vast Ocean Heart; this little injury is nothing to worry about!"
"Han Haixin... she even gave you this?"
The little fox's voice carried a hint of disappointment.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. This space is completely sealed off, we need to..."
"sorry……"
"Forehead?"
The little fox kept its head down, its dejection barely concealed. "I know everything that happened during my madness. I was too arrogant. I never imagined I'd hurt you like this..."
So she was blaming herself for this...
Shen Yunhao sighed, "There's no point in talking about this now. We need to figure out how to get out of here first!"
"So...you really don't like me at all?"
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Shen Yunhao froze on the spot once again.
After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it against the fox's forehead, releasing blue light.
"I understand now. It must be that the red light's effect is too intense. You need to keep using the Ocean Heart to maintain your sanity..."
The little fox lay on the ground, letting Shen Yunhao stroke its head, just quietly watching it.
"You should be fully awake now, right?"
"do you like me?"
"It seems not yet..."
"..."
Another half a day passed.
"And now?"
Do you like it or not?
"Damn it, is this never going to end?"
Shen Yunhao said angrily, "Let me tell you, if you don't want to use your seductive arts to control me anymore, even if I have feelings for you now, it's all due to the seductive arts. Don't expect me to admit it!"
It's that familiar excuse again.
With this excuse, both sides can back down gracefully, and can then maintain this seemingly absurd yet undeniably real... ambiguous relationship without any scruples.
However, this time...
The little fox looked at him, its fox eyes sparkling with unprecedented seriousness.
"I don't know any seductive arts! And I've never used any seductive arts on you. I swear on my demon soul!"
"..."
She's breaking through that barrier!
It was as if a judge wanted to tear apart all of Shen Yunhao's pretenses, leaving no room for anything else!
She wanted to expose his heart completely to her!
Faced with Bai Xiaoruo's resolute attitude, Shen Yunhao actually felt a sense of fear.
