The girl secretly glared at him, but then turned her head away, pouting, "Don't be angry! I just got my life saved, what's there to be angry about! Humph!"
"Pfft..."
Shen Yunhao chuckled softly, but stopped teasing her. He looked up at the ceiling and quietly squeezed the girl's small hand. "Zi'er, do you know... how scared I was back then?"
"..."
Mo Yan's body trembled slightly, but she stubbornly looked away and did not turn to look at him.
“When I saw you trapped in the great formation, I felt like… the world was collapsing. I thought that after experiencing so many life-and-death situations, even if the sky fell, I could face it calmly. But when it happened in front of me, I realized… I am nothing at all. Although Ling Huanzi acted cowardly, at least he could save you. I…”
"Enough!" Mo Yan finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily, "What makes you think you can extort an elder from Medicine King Valley when you're just a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator? Don't give me that nonsense! It's so cheesy... Hmph..."
Even so, the girl's hands remained clenched tightly, without loosening their grip at all.
Shen Yunhao smiled at her, "I won't touch Ling Huanzi, I just want to... do everything I can to protect you, that's very important!"
"So!" Mo Yan turned around and glared at him fiercely: "So you're just transferring one person's pain onto everyone else, right? Do you know what those people around you will think of me if you die?"
It goes without saying that although everyone will not openly blame Mo Yan, they will definitely attribute Shen Yunhao's death to her in their hearts.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Yunhao sighed and said, "Who can predict so much once it happens... Do you expect me to watch you die in front of me...?"
"..."
As he spoke, Shen Yunhao leaned forward and nuzzled the girl's nose: "So, they can all be angry with me about this, but you... Zi'er, you can't be angry with me, or I'll be all alone!"
Shen Yunhao wasn't exaggerating; he had almost deliberately anticipated that after this incident, Ning Yuyao and even the White Dragon would hold a grudge against him for a while...
Especially the little girl, who was there at the time and witnessed everything.
"You!" Hearing this, Mo Yan was caught between anger and indignation. In the end, she angrily bit Shen Yunhao's nose. "I'll bite you to death!"
"Ouch...it hurts!"
Halfway through their playful fight, Mo Yan suddenly realized something, hurriedly pulled away, and stood behind him, her face reverting to Qing Teng's innocent expression.
The next moment, the wooden door of the bedroom, which was carved with intricate patterns, creaked open from the outside, and Milk Tea excitedly grabbed a woman's hand and skipped in.
The woman was dressed in snow-white clothes, with a slender figure and an exquisite face, especially her pair of pink peach blossom eyes, which possessed a natural charm that was captivating and alluring.
In the past, every time Shen Yunhao saw her, he couldn't help but be teased by her subtle glances.
This time, however, Shen Yunhao did not receive this "treatment".
As soon as Bai Xiaoruo entered the room, her beautiful eyes locked onto Shen Yunhao, who was leaning against the headboard. She curled her luscious red lips, her eyes showing no joy at their long-awaited reunion, but rather a clear and unmistakable sarcasm. She spoke in a cool tone:
"Oh? Isn't this our renowned hero Shen, who's famous throughout the continent? What's he doing lying here, half-dead?"
"..."
The woman moved gracefully to the bedside, looking down at him. "The whole continent is buzzing with the news that you, Shen Yunhao, are incredibly powerful, having colluded with the righteous path, the demonic sect, the Dark Abyss, and the demon race. You even dared to publicly challenge the Tai Xuan Dao Sect and kill the Void Realm cultivator, Thousand Crane Daoist! You are undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation! How did you end up in such a pathetic state..."
Shen Yunhao's lips twitched, but he was too weak to argue with her. He forced a slightly strained but gentle smile and replied in a hoarse voice:
"Xiao Ruo...it's been so long..."
Seeing his weak and forced smile, Bai Xiaoruo felt a pang of heartache. She gave a curt snort, but ultimately sat down on the edge of the bed, her tone still harsh:
"Come on! Didn't you used to call me 'stinky fox' all the time and it sounded pretty good? How come you know it sounds nice now?"
"What stinky fox, you're using such foul language..." Shen Yunhao chuckled dryly, "We're like brothers, we've been through thick and thin together..."
As he spoke, he reached out to take Bai Xiaoruo's small hand, which was resting by the bedside.
Bai Xiaoruo's face flushed red, and she subconsciously glanced at Qing Teng, who was watching from the side, and at the chubby cat with its head tilted, looking like it knew nothing.
After all, the relationship between her and Shen Yunhao had never been publicly revealed to anyone else.
After struggling internally for a long time, she finally couldn't resist the flutter in her heart. She only made a symbolic, very slight, feigned movement to pull away, and then let his slightly cool fingers hold her hand.
But he still wouldn't let it go.
"Tch! Don't try to get close to me!"
She forced herself to remain calm, turning her slightly flushed cheeks away. "This time, to get Uncle to save you, I used every favor I had in the world. Consider that repaying the favor you did for me and the demons at the Dragon Blood Sect last time. Don't ever say I'm ungrateful again..."
As if suddenly remembering something important, she whirled around, her pink peach blossom eyes glaring at him: "Oh right! I almost forgot! Where's my tail? Where did you hide it? Give it back to me right now!"
These words instantly froze the smile on Shen Yunhao's face.
broken!
Back in Wanren City, in order to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Flow Formation to save Mo Yan, he directly threw out the Ink Cloud Copper Ring, and the fox tail was inside the copper ring!
It's highly likely that Ning Yuyao or Guan Yingying picked up the ring later.
But if I were to tell the truth now, "I just threw it away," this stinky fox would probably fly into a rage on the spot...
In a flash, Shen Yunhao made a quick decision, putting on an even weaker, more pitiful expression, his voice barely audible: "Cough cough... Why are you asking me for things as soon as we meet... I'm injured like this, have pity on this employee, okay..."
Bai Xiaoruo immediately sensed something was wrong, narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and sneered:
"Heh! Shen Yunhao! You really just wanted to steal my tail! Let me tell you, without my consciousness to guide it, that tail will soon completely lose its spirit and become an ordinary fox tail. Why are you still keeping it?!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Yunhao simply pouted, adopting a matter-of-fact expression:
"Keep it as a memento... When I miss you, I can take it out and touch it, and remember you by looking at the object..."
