Chapter 162 Sakura Ring
evening.
At dusk, the setting sun pours down like molten gold, smearing the sky into brilliant crimson.
In the quiet back hill of the village, a little fox covered in pure white flawless fur was quietly hiding among the luxuriant grass.
It lowered its body, its dark eyes like stars in the night, locked tightly on Wang Lu who was walking not far away, shining with vigilance.
The tip of its slender nose trembled slightly, as if catching some subtle breath in the air. Every subtle twitch revealed its keen awareness of the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, the white fox slowly straightened up, moving lightly and cautiously. It slowly retreated and merged into the denser grass.
The tip of its nose twitched rapidly a few times again, as if it was confirming something. Then, it turned its head resolutely and looked in the direction of the distant and warm village. There was an unconcealable panic and helplessness in its clear eyes. .
"Aunt once asked me to take good care of Bai Bai, but I... I lost him. Aunt, what should I do..." I murmured secretly in my heart, the fear and self-blame for failure, It flooded into my heart like a tide, adding a bit of warmth and sadness to this simple scene.
The white fox looked in the direction of the village with anxious eyes. The white fox spoke human words and whispered secretly.
"Then the human village is very dangerous, very dangerous. Is Bai Bai already in trouble..."
It wandered anxiously in place, each step revealing the uneasiness in its heart. From time to time it raised its head, looking through the gaps in the forest, casting endless concern for the distant villages.
Time passed quietly in anxious waiting, until at a certain moment, some kind of determination seemed to be ignited in the white fox's eyes, which was a kind of desperate courage and determination.
It lightly stomped its left front paw, bit its silver teeth slightly, and then its entire body turned into a white lightning bolt, cutting through the forest and heading straight for the village at the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, relying on the keen memory of the old atmosphere, the white fox shuttled between dense forests and fields, and finally came to the outskirts of a human compound.
Through the narrow gap, the white fox's eyes were sharp and clear, and he captured the figure of a human man. He was lowering his head and fiddling with the wooden block in his hand attentively, with a hint of mystery in his movements.
Although the curiosity in his heart is like a cat scratching his paw, the white fox knows that the most important thing at this moment is to find his Bai Bai. So, it resolutely turned its attention and devoted all its attention to the house that exuded a familiar atmosphere.
Its sensitive nose trembled gently in the air, and the familiar and comforting smell pulled its heart like a magnet. It lay quietly at the edge of the yard, its eyes piercing the mists of time, staring at the door that might be hiding something in vain.
Time flowed slowly in silence, and just when the white fox could hardly contain its inner anxiety, a gentle human woman slowly walked into its sight. In her arms, she was holding tightly the figure that haunted the white fox - Bai Bai.
At that moment, the white fox felt an indescribable joy in his heart, as if the first ray of sunshine in spring had penetrated the severe cold of winter. It could hardly restrain its inner impulse and wanted to rush into the yard immediately and snatch Bai Bai away from the human's arms.
However, just when it was ready to go, an inexplicable vigilance extinguished its impulse like cold water.
It suddenly noticed that a gaze was quietly falling on itself, clear and sharp.
It hurriedly turned its head, and where it could see was the human man who was carving something out of wood with his head down.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a bit of teasing hidden in that smile, and the white fox couldn't help but capture the subtle emotions in it.
"I just happened to get a cute little red panda. I never thought that now I will get a smart white fox. What an unexpected surprise. Not bad, not bad."
Lin Qingzhi's words were full of joy. Before he finished speaking, he gently raised his hand and made a waving gesture.
White Fox suddenly felt an inexplicable force envelope him, and his body involuntarily left the ground, floating lightly in the air. The surrounding air seemed to solidify due to this sudden change.
The white fox's heart is now tightly gripped by fear. Its future is like a path in the fog, unknown and full of dangers.
It is worried about the fate it is about to face. Perhaps, it will die tragically at the hands of this human warrior hiding in the shadow of the village. The demon skin will be peeled off and the demon core will be taken away;
Or perhaps, he will be nurtured by him until he has cultivated enough and transformed into a human form, but he will only become that person's object of appreciation.
From the few words of the sisters in the clan, the white foxes have long known that humans seem to have an indescribable obsession and desire for their fox clan.
This knowledge pierced into its heart like ice.
It tried its best to regain control of its body, but all its efforts were like candles in the wind, swaying for a few times before falling silent.
It could only watch helplessly as it approached the human man step by step, and every step was like stepping on a sharp blade.
It can also clearly see the human face and what he was just making.
Lin Qingzhi clapped his hands and held the white fox flying in front of him in his arms. The next moment, he reached out and brushed the hair on the white fox's back.
Bai Hu suddenly felt as if his tense heart began to relax.
Immediately afterwards, a scent floated into the tip of his nose. The scent made him feel close to the man, as if he was standing in a familiar forest.
The white fox mustered up the courage to raise his head and look at the human man who was looking at him with a smile.
I saw the man stroking its hair and saying:
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. You will live here from now on. Anyway, you are being hunted and are in danger. Here you can not only accompany your relatives, but also avoid danger."
Listening to Lin Qingzhi's words, Bai Hu was shocked.
How did this human man know that he was being hunted?
Has he ever seen himself being chased, or...
This man is the legendary secret master of mankind.
A mysterious human race who specializes in calculating heavenly secrets.
"Little guy, don't think too much. Just stay here and don't think about escaping." As if he saw the thoughts in Bai Hu's mind, Lin Qingzhi reached out and flicked Bai Fox's forehead.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
After being flicked lightly, the white fox couldn't help but shout.
The voice was like that of a three or four-year-old girl, immature and innocent.
"Tell me! Little guy, what's your name..."
Lin Qingzhi put the little white fox on the ground and asked curiously.
"I don't call you little guy, I call you Yinghuan..."
