Fox Spirit: One Sword Sweeps the World

"I keep it with me and take it out to look at it from time to time, which is quite nice."

Before he finished speaking, he bent his arm, steadily supported Ya Ya's bottom, gently lifted her up, and then tucked her still red little feet into his wide robe.

The warmth emanating from his clothes instantly enveloped Ya Ya's icy toes, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "Mmm".

Even though she had repeatedly said that she was protected by ice magic and was not afraid of the cold, he always seemed to be afraid that she would get cold, and always thought of her in every way.

Tu Shan Ya Ya opened her mouth slightly, but before she could reply, her nose bumped into Mu Qing Han's chin, which was inches away from hers.

His breath gently brushed against her forehead, carrying a refreshing scent of grass and trees. Her heart warmed, and she couldn't help but raise her head slightly.

Soft lips, like a feather, gently landed on his cheek.

"I...I forgot..."

He only realized his mistake after kissing her, blushing, but then suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"No way! I've been thinking about pinching you, why don't you think about pinching me yourself?"

"I can even mimic your smile, so...don't you have me in your heart?"

Mu Qinghan was still reeling from that gentle kiss; the warmth of her lips seemed to linger on her cheek.

Hearing this, he looked up and saw Ya Ya puffing out her cheeks and furrowing her brows. Although there was still some grievance hidden in her eyes, she insisted on putting on a "fierce" look, like a little fox with its fur standing on end.

He couldn't help but smile faintly, and gently stroked her reddened nose with his fingertip.

"Yes, it's my fault. I'll go back and find some clay, and sculpt a beautiful you. I'll carry you in my arms during the day and place you by my pillow at night, okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

Ya Ya immediately lost her composure, a sly smile creeping onto her lips, but she quickly suppressed it, staring at him suspiciously.

"You've come here again... not to ask Tushan for help, are you?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

Mu Qinghan was somewhat surprised, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph! I knew it!"

Ya Ya abruptly turned her face away, her voice full of grievance.

"You didn't come to Tushan to find me at all! Every time, you're either looking for Sister Cui to treat someone's illness, or you're carried here to heal your wounds. You never come to me on your own initiative!"

Mu Qinghan looked at her drooping fox ears and her eyes that instantly filled with tears, and his heart softened. He was slightly taken aback, and then softened his voice.

"It was my oversight. I will definitely spend more time with you in the future, and I will only look for you, not anyone else."

He paused, then gently stroked her long hair. "But the real reason I came here this time is to take you to the human territory."

"You want to take me? To where you humans live?"

Ya Ya turned her head sharply, her eyes filled with surprise, "But...you humans..."

Could it be... that he wants to take me... to meet his parents?!

Isn't it... a bit too fast...?

Mu Qinghan interrupted her, his tone firm.

He reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"With me here, no one can hurt you in the slightest."

The person in his arms gently nuzzled his chest. He took a deep breath, his voice becoming softer and more solemn.

"After I've sorted out the mess within the Dao Alliance, I'll start working on promoting peace between the human and demon realms."

"When that day really comes... I will come to Tushan in grand style and marry you."

Tu Shan Ya Ya's pupils contracted slightly, and the entire demon froze.

The next second, immense joy crashed into her heart like warm sunshine. Her eyes instantly lit up as if filled with stars. She reached out and tightly hugged Mu Qinghan's neck, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Then you'd better hurry! You have to marry me soon! I've wanted to marry you for a long time!"

"Yes, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Mu Qinghan chuckled slightly as she squeezed his earlobe, gently rubbing her reddened earlobe with his fingertips, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Then... let's go now..."

"Okay, okay."

Chapter 99 I don’t even want to act anymore

"So...do they still need to knock?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya's voice was filled with confusion.

She blinked, looking at the two people sitting side by side by the stream not far away.

A breeze carrying the scent of grass swept by, causing the fox fur near her ears to tremble slightly.

The stream babbles over the pebbles.

Butai sat sideways, her skirt brushing against the dandelions on the bank, her pale fingers occasionally pointing to the small fish swaying in the water.

When you lightly touch the water with your fingertips, it will splash up tiny water droplets.

She always spoke with a faint smile, her lips curving upwards like a small crescent moon.

The clear sound drifted into Shi Kuan's ears, making him feel dazed.

It was as if time had turned back to an afternoon thousands of years ago: sunlight... a stream... willow catkins... small fish... a young girl...

He just smiled憨憨地, his mouth wide open.

He doesn't respond much; often, after Butai asks three questions, he will slowly reply with one or two words, his voice low but gentle.

But his gaze never left Butai's face.

Those eyes held a longing that had been precipitated over hundreds of years, an obsession that transcended the cycle of life and death, and a concern etched into the bones and branded into the soul.

At this moment, his beloved was so close that he could never get enough of looking at her, not even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled or the hair that swayed gently when she spoke.

It's as if this one glance is meant to make up for the gap of the past few centuries.

Mu Qinghan stood beside Ya Ya, his dark hair fluttering in the wind, a faint smile in his eyes.

Looking at Tu Shan Ya Ya's stunned expression, where she was holding her breath and even her ears were perked up, she couldn't help but reach out her fingertips and gently pinch her soft cheeks.

“I don’t know,” he said in a clear, gentle voice, with a hint of teasing. “Go ask around.”

"Hehehe, look at this big-headed fish, it looks just like you."

Butai pointed to a fathead fish slowly swimming in the stream, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

The fish had a round head, but its body looked unusually small. Its clumsy movements when it swung its tail fin made her laugh repeatedly.

"Huh? It's different, isn't it?"

Shi Kuan followed her fingertip and stared intently at the bighead carp, comparing it carefully. He subconsciously frowned and retorted.

"It has a big head and a small body, and I am..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he caught a glimpse of Butai covering his mouth and chuckling, his eyes and brows brimming with a sly smile. Only then did he belatedly realize what was happening.

She's making fun of herself.

However, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he chuckled foolishly and obediently agreed with his head down.

"Looks like I'm just as stupid as it is."

"No."

Butai gently punched his arm, his fingertips landing on his strong forearm like a feather brushing against it.

"You may look a bit dull, but you're actually very clever and insightful."

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke, reflecting the light of the stream.

"Um... do you still need to have your memories restored?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya's voice suddenly interrupted.

Shi Kuan and Butai turned their heads at the same time and saw that icy blue figure standing gracefully not far away.

The fox spirit girl crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents as she looked them up and down with great interest.

Behind Ya Ya, Mu Qinghan stood quietly like a pine tree, his white robes trailing to the ground.

He was surrounded by an aura as calm as a mountain. Although he was just standing there casually, he was like an invisible barrier, gently protecting Tu Shan Ya Ya in front of him. Even the wind seemed to want to go around the two figures.

Huh? Where did this fox demon come from?

Butai was taken aback at first, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, before he realized what was happening.

Oh, the dean said before that he was going to Tushan to seek help from a fox demon, this should be the one.

Her gaze swept over Tu Shan Ya Ya before returning to Mu Qing Han's face, and then she narrowed her eyes slightly.

A woman's intuition is always sharp, and the way these two people stood together at this moment suddenly gave her a thought.

The relationship between these two is definitely not simple.

Because Mu Qinghan's gaze seemed to be on Shi Kuan and Butai, but his eyes would always unconsciously drift to Tu Shan Ya Ya beside him in the next instant.

The gentleness hidden in those eyes was something Butai had never seen before.

Even more subtly, she could vaguely sense that Mu Qinghan's magical power was subtly surrounding Ya Ya.

Like a thin yet resilient veil, it silently enveloped that icy blue figure.

Butai was certain that if anyone dared to attack this fox demon at this moment, the dean would draw his sword and cut that person in two the instant that followed.

Unlike Butai, Shi Kuan was not as meticulous. He stared at the two people in front of him with some surprise.

Mu Qinghan actually invited the second-in-command of Tushan?

The demon queen Tushan Honghong has always protected this younger sister very well, so how could she let her run so far with a human?

However... there had been rumors that Mu Qinghan and the second leader of Tushan had a close relationship, but Shi Kuan had previously dismissed them as mere fabricated gossip.

He simply couldn't reconcile the aloof demeanor of the "number one genius of the human race" with the scene of "developing feelings for the second leader of Tushan".
