The little fox does not want to hide the cub

The night fell completely, the fire in the cave was burning brightly, and the crackling of the firewood covered some messy and rapid breathing.

Jiang Shen lay on the bed of hay, raised his arms to cover his eyes, his chest rose and fell sharply.

Before coming to Changming Mountain, he actually rarely did such things by himself.

Jiang Shen doesn't think he is a person with heavy desires, and this kind of extremely happy and easily addicted thing is a kind of danger to him.

After coming to Changming Mountain, the little fox always asked him to take medicine, but occasionally he couldn't completely absorb the yang qi. Most of the time, Jiang Shen needed to relieve the medicine effect by himself.

But he just realized today that doing some things by himself is completely different from letting others do it.

It can be said that the little fox has no experience in this matter. At the beginning, he only kneaded or squeezed lightly, so Jiang Shen had to teach him personally.

I can't learn dictation, so I hold his hand together.

Jiang Shen liked the little fox's hands very much, the slender and slender fingertips were a little powdered, and there was a faint light on the fingertips when casting spells, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

With such hands, doing other things is equally pleasing to the eye.

The little fox has a small frame and small hands, Jiang Shen can hold him completely with only one hand.It's just too soft, as if it was weak and boneless when pinched, Jiang Shen didn't dare to pinch him too hard.

The little fox learned quickly, and even learned to draw inferences from one example and play other tricks in a short time.

This gave Jiang Shen another reason to believe that the fox monster clan really has the talent to learn things without a teacher.

Jiang Shen slowly recovered his breathing, and there was a rustling sound beside him, it was the little fox that jumped to the ground.

"What?" Jiang Shen's voice was hoarse and lazy.

Li Ruan was full of energy and seemed very happy: "I want to refine the essence you gave me. Today is a lot, thank you."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Can't be too much, the little fox got too close when it was done, and finally got all of it on the face.In the past, it was the little fox who calmed down Jiang Shen by absorbing essence. Obviously, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation today, so he stayed where he was for a while.

Then, he raised his fingertips and ate it clean.

That scene almost made Jiang Shen not be a man again on the spot.

Jiang Shen's ears were slightly hot, but Li Ruan ignored him, and sat cross-legged on the ground, falling into samadhi.

This picture looks a little weird.

For the first time, Jiang Shen felt that he was really a stove that was captured by monsters and brought back to the cave for mending.

It's nothing.

As the night darkened, the unattended fire slowly dimmed.

Jiang Shen tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

Turning his head to look, Li Ruan still maintained the posture just now, sitting on the spot without moving, even his tail was hanging on the ground safely, as if he was going to sit like this until dawn.

Li Ruan turned into a fox when he practiced.He is actually very playful on weekdays, whether it is Jiang Shen telling him stories or going out for food, he is easily attracted by other things, and he often goes to play without doing much business.

It is different when you can practice.

When he practiced, his expression was focused, as if even if the sky fell, it would not affect him in the slightest.

Jiang Shen breathed a sigh of relief silently, got up and added some firewood to the fire.

The fire gradually rose, and the dancing flames reflected on the little fox's face, making the facial features more and more vivid.

Jiang Shen looked at him fixedly.

The little fox's attitude towards him was actually right.

They are people from two worlds. When the little fox's cultivation level recovers and the situation in Beijing and China stabilizes, Jiang Shen should go back to be his prince.They met in Changming Mountain in this cold winter, which should have been the only intersection in this life.

Therefore, the less fetters between them, the better.

It should be so.

but……

Jiang Shen was lost in thought for a while, he was still holding the thin firewood in his hand, holding it for a long time, the fire burned up along the firewood, burning him.Jiang Shen let go of his hand suddenly, his fingertips were reddish and hot.

But not just hands.

His face and heart were all hot.

Jiang Shen raised his hand to press on his heart, that heart was alive and beating violently.

He didn't know if Yaozu also had such a mortal heart, and whether they would also beat for others.

But...he seems to have been planted.

Planted completely.

The next day, Jiang Shen woke up very late.

Maybe it was because he finally figured out something, or it was because he finally dared to face his heart honestly, Jiang Shen only felt a burst of relief in his heart, and it was rare for him to sleep well for the first time since this period of time.

Then when he opened his eyes, he was taken aback by the head lying beside him.

Li Ruan tilted his head and smiled at him: "Good morning."

Jiang Shen: "..."

The little fox has a pretty smile, and Jiang Shen has never seen anyone with a prettier smile than him.But in this situation, he just felt numb.

Jiang Shen asked: "What time is it now, why didn't you go to practice?"

Li Ruan still smiled: "I'm waiting for you."

Laugh suspiciously.

Jiang Shen asked tentatively again: "You...do you want to say something?"

Li Ruan blinked: "No, I'm just waiting for you."

As if to prove that he was absolutely innocent, he pulled Jiang Shen to sit up, and asked with concern: "How is your body feeling today? Is there any discomfort? Do you have a fever? Are you tired?"

The whole one is too hard.

I don't know what bad idea I'm playing again.

Jiang Shen frowned slightly, and nodded following his words: "I'm fine, I'm not feeling sick."

Li Ruan asked: "Then can we do it again?"

Jiang Shen choked, "...what?"

"Just the one from last night." Li Ruan glanced under Jiang Shen, then looked at his face, his eyes sparkling, "Give me some more, okay?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

Of course, the little fox demon has no bad intentions.

He just refined the essence overnight and discovered that the essence obtained in the way last night was actually hundreds of times stronger than the essence he usually absorbed.

His progress in this night's practice was more than the sum of the previous month.

Li Ruan felt heartbroken.

It has been more than two months since Jiang Shen lived in his cave, what has he been doing for these two months, why did he not discover such a good method until yesterday.

What a waste of so much time.

Fortunately, it's not too late to find out.

Li Ruan tugged at Jiang Shen's arm, his voice sounded soft as if he was coquettish: "Give me some more, I'll restore my cultivation as soon as possible, so I can help you find the secret letter as soon as possible, right?"

Jiang Shen was silent.

Actually, it's not impossible, because according to last night's experience, the little fox made him very comfortable.

But if it continues to develop like this, it will definitely not work.

The little fox is getting close to him now only to get the essence from him, so as to restore his cultivation.And once his cultivation is fully recovered, his role will be gone. Judging from the current situation, the little fox probably won't bother him anymore.

How can this work.

Jiang Shen thought for a while, and made a look of embarrassment: "But that thing is not available every day, you already ate it all last night."

"Ah?" Li Ruan was astonished, "Is it so few? When will there be?"

"At least..." Jiang Shen thought for a while, "at least seven days."

Li Ruan counted on his fingers: "That's too long, is there a way to make it faster, such as taking some medicine?"

"No." Jiang Shen didn't change his expression, "It will be slower to take the medicine."

Li Ruan thought about it, and it seemed to be true.

Jiang Shen had been taking medicine some time ago, but the situation like last night never happened.

Maybe it's because of the medicine.

He was dejected, and even the pointed ears in his hair drooped: "Then remember not to take medicine anymore, save your things well, and save a little more."

Jiang Shen: "...OK."

He resolutely stopped talking about this matter with Li Ruan, looked at the sky outside, and said: "The weather is good today, since you don't practice, do you want to go out with me for a walk?"

From falling off the cliff to now, Jiang Shen stepped out of this valley for the first time.

On the day he came to Changming Mountain, he went up the mountain overnight, and then was trapped at the bottom of the valley. In fact, he never had the opportunity to see the whole picture of Changming Mountain.

If the little fox hadn't healed his leg yesterday, he wouldn't have had the chance to step out of this valley.

Jiang Shen stands on the top of a mountain with a handrail, the distant mountains are empty and bright, and there are many mountains and hills, all of which are snow-white.Looking through the layers of mountains, a corner of the city farther away can be vaguely seen.

That is the direction of the capital.

There was a rustling sound behind him, the shadows of the trees moved slightly, and fine snow fell one after another, sprinkled Jiang Shen's head.

He turned his head, and the boy behind him had disappeared at some point, and a voice came from above his head: "I'm here."

The young man was sitting on the top of a tree, with his bright red clothes hanging down, still without shoes on his feet, swinging around leisurely.

"If you want to go down the mountain, you can go through this mountain path." Li Ruan raised his finger in the direction, "When you didn't come before, I was waiting for someone there."

Jiang Shen looked in the direction he pointed, but only glanced once, then looked away.

Jiang Shen asked him: "You healed my wound and showed me the way down the mountain. Are you afraid that I will leave you and run away?"

Of course, these words were just to amuse him, but unexpectedly, Li Ruan suddenly asked seriously: "Do you want to leave?"

Jiang Shen looked up at him, but didn't answer.

Li Ruan said: "Axue told me that most mortals are selfish, so let me not treat your wounds, and don't let you leave that valley. Otherwise, you might leave me and run away."

"But I don't think that's a good idea."

His tail swayed with his body, and his eyes seemed to be filled with crystal frost and snow: "It should be your wish to ask others to help. If you really don't want to double cultivate with me and want to leave, I can't stop you ,Right?"

If someone else said this, Jiang Shen would only feel that the other party was testing him.

But he knew that his little fox didn't have so many thoughts of beating around the bush, that's what he thought in his heart.

If he said he wanted to leave now, this stupid fox would probably not stop him.

Jiang Shen smiled and said, "I'm not unwilling."

Li Ruan blinked.

Jiang Shen took half a step back and opened his arms: "Come down."

Li Ruan jumped down from the treetop.

When he fell, he took advantage of the breeze to relieve a little force, so that Jiang Shen could catch him steadily.

Li Ruan hooked Jiang Shen's neck, and felt that Jiang Shen took two steps forward, pushing him under the tree.The tree trunk was hit like this, and many snowflakes fell, sprinkled on the two people's hair.

"What are you doing..." Li Ruan looked at Jiang Shen.

The latter looked at him with gentle eyes, but also a little helpless.

"You." Jiang Shen pinched the tip of his red nose and asked, "You talk about double cultivation with others, do you know what double cultivation means?"

"Of course I know." Li Ruan said, "Isn't it just two people practicing together, and I have already memorized the formulas of the exercises."

Jiang Shen: "What about the process?"

"The process..." Li Ruan hesitated, and said truthfully, "Axue said that the process is not easy to learn, let me just memorize the exercises, and cooperate with the other party when the time comes. He said that you mortals are self-taught in this matter. Yes, no one wouldn't."

Speaking of this, he suddenly understood something, and asked: "You have been unwilling to double cultivate with me, is it because you don't know how?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

This stupid fox.

Jiang Shen said patiently, "I didn't want to...not for this reason."

Li Ruan said "Oh", as if he was a little relieved, and then asked: "What is the reason?"

They had been out for a while, and the wind on the mountain was very strong, which made Li Ruan's face flushed, which was very cute.

Jiang Shen was silent for a long time.

He looked down at the person in his arms, and after a long time, he said softly: "In the mortal world, if you don't really love each other, you can't do this kind of thing."

Li Ruan tilted her head, as if she didn't understand the concept: "Then how can we truly love each other?"

"I also want to know."

He picked up a strand of the little fox's hair, a little helpless, and seemed a little funny: "I also want to know, what should I do to make you, a stupid fox... like me more."
