The little fox does not want to hide the cub

If it weren't for the innocent eyes and tone of the little fox, Jiang Shen would almost have thought he did it on purpose.

No matter how ignorant this little fox is, doesn't he understand that there are some places that cannot be touched?

Wasn't he a man?

Of course Li Ruan didn't do it on purpose.

He actually doesn't know much about mortals, and he doesn't know where to touch and where not to touch.During those years when he was transformed into a human form, Li Ruan spent more than half of his time practicing in closed doors.And the other half of the time, either trying to cross the tribulation, or recuperating after failing to cross the tribulation.

Where does he have time to study mortals.

In fact, he still doesn't quite know what to do with double cultivation.

He could only feel that the essence in this place was very strong, and after stepping on it twice, the smell became stronger.

It's really hard for monsters to resist this temptation.

Jiang Shen's face changed again and again, and he didn't speak for a while.Li Ruan raised his head and looked at him, his little paws couldn't help but want to step on it, but the next second, his body flew into the air.

It was Jiang Shen who picked him up.

With only one hand, he clamped his armpit and raised it straight to his eyes.

This should be the most humiliating moment in Li Ruan's life, to be controlled to death by a mortal with one hand.But there was no way, his legs were too short, he couldn't touch anything when he was lifted up to this height, and his pair of short legs kicked twice in the air in vain.

"What are you doing?" Li Ruan was a little annoyed.

"Are you still angry?" Jiang Shen laughed out of anger, and lifted him higher, "Are you still touching?"

Li Ruan hummed, but did not answer.

Jiang Shen stretched out his free hand and gently pinched his ear.

Li Ruan rounded his eyes.

How courageous this mortal is!

Li Ruan really didn't talk big before, before he was knocked back to his original form by the thunder, all the big and small monsters on Changming Mountain were somewhat afraid of him.Li Ruan always felt that if he hadn't been injured by Lei Jie, his cultivation level in his heyday would not necessarily be lower than that of Ashe.

Power has always determined status among monster clans. Before this, no one or monster had dared to lift him up like this and pinch his ears.

there has never been!

The little fox was so angry that he kicked his legs. Jiang Shen was afraid that he would fall, so he hugged him with both hands.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I won't tease you." Jiang Shen was not willing to say harsh words to the little fox, sighed, and said seriously, "But there are some places that cannot be touched randomly, and we can't do this again next time , otherwise... I won’t give you essence.”

The little fox still didn't speak.

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a moment, and the little fox's ears drooped: "Got it."

"If you don't touch it, don't touch it."

"It's really stingy..."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Why is he still wronged.

Is this a question of being petty or not?

For the first time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been strategizing, doesn't know what to do with this little fox demon.

However, one person and one fox finally reached an agreement. Although the little fox still reluctantly looked at the place for a long time after being put down, he did not touch it again in the end.

A few days later, Changming Mountain began to snow.A heavy snow fell from the night before to the afternoon of the next day. After the snow, it cleared up and the whole canyon was covered with a layer of silver.

Li Ruan lay silently in the snow, staring at the stream not far away without turning her eyes.

The rush of the stream was the only sound in the woods.

Suddenly, the little fox kicked his legs hard, jumped up, and ran towards the stream quickly.He borrowed strength from a rock in the middle of the stream, and slammed his front paws into the water.

A series of movements were sensitive and smooth, and when the little fox landed lightly on the other side of the river, he was already firmly stepping on a fat carp under his front paws.

He tilted his ears triumphantly, first slapped the still flopping carp unconscious with his paw, then lowered his head to pick it up, and threw it into the small basket prepared early in the morning.

This small basket is woven with rattan, and there are already five or six fish in it.

This thing was naturally made by Jiang Shen.The weaver's craftsmanship is obviously not very good, the gaps in the basket are big and small, if not all the fish are knocked out, maybe not a single one will be trapped.

But compared to the previous ones that could only move the food to the cave bit by bit, this thing still saves a lot of trouble.

After winter, it becomes more and more difficult to find food every day.If only Li Ruan himself is fine, he is a demon, even if he starves for a few days, he will not die.

But who made him raise a mortal now.

Even if he starved himself, he couldn't starve Jiang Shen.

After all, he had to rely on Jiang Shen's essence to recover his strength.

During this time, Li Ruan obviously felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Although there is no sign of mana recovering for the time being, the originally damaged meridian is repairing itself little by little, and...

Li Ruan lowered his head and licked the water-soaked paws clean, raised his front paws, and stretched them forward.

The short legs are obviously longer than before.

As an adult fox demon, Li Ruan naturally wouldn't look like this kind of young fox. Maybe it was because his cultivation base was severely depleted during the thunder calamity, and he returned to his juvenile form when he was beaten back to his original form.

It is extremely inconvenient.

Li Ruan never knew that it was so effective to absorb the essence of mortals, and even the body could grow up again.

But if this is the case, why did Ah Xue tell him that only by dual cultivation with mortals can he recover his cultivation?

I have to go to Ashe to ask about it another day.

Thinking so, Li Ruan dragged the small basket back.

The heavy snow fell intermittently for several days, and the woods were covered with a thick layer of snow.Before he had gone far, Li Ruan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

As if he had sensed something, the hairs all over his body stood up, his back slightly arched.

After a while, someone came out from behind the tree.

That's right, "people".

It was a boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, his facial features were still very immature, between boys and teenagers.He is slender and has untied long hair. On this cold winter day, he only wears a thin light yellow blouse.

He didn't wear shoes, and stepped on the snow with bare feet, with a slender ankle exposed under his trousers.

The boy grinned maliciously, revealing two sharp canine teeth: "Li Ruan, long time no see."

Li Ruan had never seen this young man, but he recognized the smell.

His eyes narrowed slowly: "Are you here to fight with me?"

Li Ruan's current appearance is actually not imposing, a small ball of pompom, even if you look at it harshly, it doesn't really bluff people.But the boy obviously didn't think so.Li Ruan only took half a step forward, and he subconsciously backed away immediately, losing all momentum in an instant: "Yes, so what?"

"Let me tell you, I can already cultivate a human form, and I will never lose this time!" The young man yelled, not as if speaking to Li Ruan, but as if to encourage himself, "I will definitely be able to take the cave today!" return!"

This boy is a weasel spirit, the original owner of the cave where Li Ruan lives now.

Li Ruan went to Changming Mountain 300 years ago, and he liked the aura in this canyon, and now he lives in a cave here to settle down and practice.But at that time, the weasel had encircled the whole territory of the canyon and was unwilling to give it to Li Ruan.

Li Ruan simply fought with him, beat him away, and occupied his cave.

Territory competition is actually very common in Yaozu, and the loser will change to a cave to practice.

The same is true for the weasel spirit, as far as Li Ruan knows, he has already found another cave in the mountains.

But this weasel has a good face, thinking that as long as he practices diligently, sooner or later he will be able to defeat Li Ruan and take back his cave.So in the past 300 years, he came to provoke Li Ruan every once in a while, and was beaten up by Li Ruan every time.

This time Li Ruan was beaten back to his original form, he naturally would not let go of this rare opportunity.

Li Ruan pushed aside the small basket containing the fish, and looked up at the young man in front of him.

"bring it on."

When the little fox went out to look for food, Jiang Shen was sitting outside the cave, reading a book.

If you were someone else, unable to walk freely due to a leg injury, and could only be trapped in this small cave, you would probably feel that life is very boring.

But Jiang Shen didn't think so.

On weekdays, the little fox would accompany him in the cave, play and talk with each other, or learn to make some gadgets that are convenient for life together. Every day is very fulfilling.

When the little fox went out, he read a book outside the cave to pass the time.

The sun after the snow did not feel much warmth on his body, Jiang Shen put on a black cloak with fur edges, the cool wind blew, he wrapped the robe tightly around his body, and pressed the center of his eyebrows.

In the past few days, for some reason, I always feel that my body is more easily tired than before, and I am more afraid of the cold.

Jiang Shen was in poor spirits and lost interest in reading.He threw the book aside and looked up at the distant woods.

It was very quiet in the woods, except for the faint sound of running water, no other sounds could be heard.

Although Jiang Shen enjoys the recent leisure time very much, but without the little fox who is always by his side, he can't help but feel a little lonely.

Today...has it been too long?

If you don't come back, it will be dark.

Jiang Shen thought for a moment, took the crutches that were put aside, got up and walked into the forest.

Jiang Shen lived in this cave for less than half a month, and has almost figured out the way around here.The terrain in the canyon is fairly flat, but there is a relatively steep col in the direction of the valley, which is why Jiang Shen has been unable to get out of the canyon.

He remembered that the little fox had said before leaving that today he was going to catch fish by the stream in the forest, so he walked towards the stream.

After walking a certain distance, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.

Jiang Shen was very familiar with this smell, he raised his eyes and saw that there were spots of blood in the snow in the distance.

This piece of snow has been trampled badly, and the blood color is extremely dazzling on the snow, drop after drop, until it continues into the woods.

Jiang Shen hurriedly quickened his pace.

The snow made the originally flat mountain road a bit difficult to walk. Jiang Shen walked forward with his crutches, and finally saw the bright red figure.

He squatted in the forest with his back to Jiang Shen, the fluff on his body became messy.

There seemed to be some blood on the tail.

Jiang Shen's heart tightened.

As if aware of the movement behind him, the little fox turned his head and tilted his head in doubt after seeing the person coming: "Jiang Shen, why are you here?"

"You are—"

Jiang Shen looked forward, and there was another animal in front of the little fox.

It was an adult weasel, twice the size of the little fox, and the fur on its body was even messier than that of the little fox. There was an obvious wound on the front leg, and even a piece of baldness on the back of the neck.

He's crouching under a tree, eating...?

The string of blood that Jiang Shen saw continued to the weasel's feet. It was a hare that had been bitten to death.

Jiang Shen: "..."

Jiang Shen closed his eyes: "What's going on?"

Li Ruan pointed to the weasel in front of him: "He asked me to fight, but he didn't win, so I beat him up."

The weasel gnawed on the hare absently, and almost jumped up when he heard the words: "I'm hungry because I haven't eaten today!"

"Then are you full now?" Li Ruan narrowed his eyes and asked ferociously, "Do you want us to fight again?"

The weasel suddenly wilted.

He glanced at Li Ruan, then at Jiang Shen next to him, and said, "No more fights, no more fights, there are two of you, two against one, it's not fair."

"Besides, you don't have magic power now, so it's meaningless to win against you." Weasel said, "There's a saying for mortals, a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others' danger."

Jiang Shen: "...a gentleman does not take advantage of others' danger."

"Yes, yes, yes." The weasel twitched its ears and transformed back into a human form.There was a long and deep wound on the young man's arm. He raised his hand to cover it, and made a magnanimous look, "When your mana recovers, we will fight in human form, and the winner will be decided sooner or later."

After speaking, he limped away.

The little fox called him: "Your rabbit hasn't finished eating yet, don't you want it?"

The boy didn't turn his head back, and his back looked like he was running away.

Soon only Jiang Shen and Li Ruan were left in the woods.

The little fox was still squatting on the spot, wagging its tail proudly at Jiang Shen: "How about it, am I very powerful? This weasel spirit has 300 years of cultivation."

Jiang Shen sighed, and asked, "Does your leg still hurt?"

The little fox froze for a moment, and pretended to be stupid: "What are you talking about, my leg is fine."

Jiang Shen looked at him steadily.

The little fox looked away, retracted his tail guiltily, and rolled himself into a pompom.

It was true that he won the fight, but the little fox was accidentally bitten by a weasel on his hind leg, so he kept squatting all the time, not wanting to be seen and injured.

"A fight is all about momentum, you need to have enough momentum!" On the way back, the little fox lay on Jiang Shen's shoulder and emphasized.

Jiang Shen supported his cane in one hand and the small fish basket in the other, and said with a smile, "Okay, you are the most imposing."

It's obviously a good face.

Hearing the perfunctory in his words, the little fox propped up his body: "I'm serious, this kind of cultivation level little monster, I can hit three more no problem hiss—"

He flailed his claws to get involved in the injury, twitched in pain, and almost fell off Jiang Shen's shoulder.

Jiang Shen hurriedly supported him.

"Don't move around." Jiang Shen said, "Does it hurt, is it bleeding again?"

The pain is a bit painful, how can it not hurt when you are injured, but this pain is far worse than Tianlei.Li Ruan originally wanted to say that he was fine, but when she looked up and saw the man's worried expression, she suddenly had some bad thoughts.

He buried his head on Jiang Shen's neck, and rubbed it pitifully: "It hurts so much."

Jiang Shen usually didn't even dare to hug him hard, seeing that he was bitten so big, of course he was very distressed: "I will give you medicine when I get back, don't run around in these two days, and take care of your wounds."

"If I had mana, this skin injury would heal immediately." The little fox seemed to be very sad, with his head buried low, and his voice was crying, "I'm useless, am I?"

Now, even Jiang Shen felt something was wrong.

He turned his head to look over, and he really saw that although the little fox buried his head, he was still observing his reaction from the corner of his eye.

Not to mention that there is not even a little water in the eyes.

This little fox doesn't even know how to act, so he used too much force.

Jiang Shen guessed what he wanted to say, and deliberately made a sad look: "Then what should I do, Shuangxiu will help you restore your mana?"

He originally thought that the little fox would climb along the pole, but unexpectedly the latter shook his head: "No."

"I'm injured, so I don't want to practice for the time being." The little fox looked at him reproachfully, "If you're injured, you should rest. I didn't even force you to practice with me when you were injured. How could you force me?"

Did not think of the answer.

Jiang Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He asked again: "Then what do you want?"

Li Ruan observed Jiang Shen's expression and said, "I want to eat some essence."

Jiang Shen: "Okay, I'll give it to you tonight."

"Then..." Li Ruan whispered, "Can I step on that night?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

He knew that the little fox looked cute on the outside, but he was holding back evil in his heart.

It's a matter of principle, how could he—

Jiang Shen turned his head and met those clear and beautiful red eyes.

Little Fox: "Oh."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Jiang Shen: "...step on step on step on step."
