Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

As soon as he landed, Chen Lianshu found himself teleported to a mountain forest.

Moreover, there was no one around, so it was clear that Mu Qianxue had been teleported elsewhere by the secret realm.

Xiao Xueyan was not separated from him because of a temporary contract made by his master.

Looking at the unfamiliar scenery around me.

Ancient trees that block out the sky, a winding stream, and the distant, faint roars of beasts.

All of these things reminded him that he had already entered the secret realm.

"It's more primitive than I imagined."

Chen Lianshu couldn't help but sigh softly, and then decided to explore the surrounding area.

"Meow!"

But the little snow flame in her arms suddenly bristled, staring intently at the bushes to her left, as if something was approaching.

Chen Lianshu instantly became alert, gathering spiritual energy in her palm, ready to fight at any moment.

The next second, the bushes shook violently.

As he approached step by step, a first-tier rabbit-shaped monster suddenly darted out in a panic and disappeared in a flash.

The man and the beast then temporarily lowered their guard and turned to look elsewhere.

But then a rustling sound came from the bushes behind them.

And it was getting closer and closer, as if something was rushing towards them.

"Is there anything else?"

Chen Lianshu summoned the Qinghe Sword and looked warily behind him.

He hadn't forgotten the instructions given before entering the secret realm.

There are many monsters here, and you could get into trouble if you're not careful.

However, what sprang out of the bushes was not the ferocious monster he had imagined.

Instead, it was a small fox that was pure white with light pink markings on its fur and a fluffy tail.

"fox?"

Before Chen Lianshu could even check the system information...

The little thing rushed over at an astonishing speed.

Not only did she suddenly pounce into his arms, but she even pushed Xiao Xueyan down!

Not only that, she wrapped her tail around his arm and tried desperately to hook her claws onto his clothes.

But the clothes seemed to be woven from some kind of tough spiritual silk, which her claws could not catch or even break through.

"Waaaaah..."

The fox's cry contained surprise, shock, grievance, and accusation...

Although these complex emotions seem to be brewing a thousand words, yet…

"...?"

It was obvious that Chen Lianshu could not understand.

He glanced down at Xiao Xueyan, who had been pushed to the ground and looked completely bewildered.

He then looked at the little fox that had appeared out of nowhere in his arms.

Both the man and the beast fell silent, simultaneously lost in bewilderment.

"Waaah..."

At this moment, Su Jiu'er's heart was breaking.

Just now, when my husband held that spirit beast, his posture was so natural and intimate, it was as if he were holding her...

No, even tighter than hugging her!

What gives this vixen the right to be called a vixen?!

She's his wife!

My lawfully wedded wife!!!

Although that was something from a past life;

Although the other party may not know her yet;

Although...although...

but--

Su Jiu'er let out a very aggrieved fox cry, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitifully at Chen Lianshu.

The look in his eyes was more like that of an abandoned puppy than a little fox.

"?"

Chen Lianwen's expression revealed doubt.

I don't understand what's going on with this little thing.

"!"

When he glanced at the system information interface, his attention was immediately drawn to the top of the other person's head.

【Jade-Faced Spirit Fox】

[Affection Level: MAX (Willing to die for each other)]

This little thing even has a special favorability display?

A red heart, identical to her tail and with nine tail feathers, hung above her head.

And the color of the red heart is also unique.

It was more like a pink peach heart than a red one, which perfectly matched her petite appearance.

"..."

However, since it displays a special affinity, why didn't a new simulated line pop up this time?

"?"

Suddenly, Chen Lianshu seemed to sense something and snapped out of his thoughts.

He held the little fox in one arm and then switched arms.

A trace of blood seeped from the spot where she had been supported.

Are you injured?

"?"

Su Jiu'er herself was unaware of her injury; she was simply lifted up by her husband without knowing why, and her whole body was carefully examined.

Chen Lianshu quickly noticed the wound on her hind leg.

"Eat this."

He took out a healing pill from his storage bag and held it to the little fox's mouth.

"It can heal your injuries."

"?"

Su Jiu'er swallowed it without hesitation.

The moment the pill entered her stomach, a gentle spiritual energy slowly spread out, nourishing her overdrawn body, and her wounds began to heal.

really…

Her husband was still her husband.

I'm always willing to be good to her.

Sure enough, no one could take it away.

"Ugh!"

She immediately raised her head, gave her husband a soft call, and her tail wagged happily.

Chen Lianshu found this scene inexplicably funny.

Just a moment ago, he looked like he was about to die, but after taking this pill, he became so happy.

Sensing that the other party seemed to have recovered somewhat, Chen Lianshu put the little thing down, squatted down, and asked softly:

"Were you injured by a demonic beast?"

The little fox nodded vigorously.

Seeing that the other party could indeed understand human speech, Chen Lianshu continued to ask:

"Are you a spirit beast?"

Su Jiu'er shook her head vigorously.

She is not a demon beast! She is a jade-faced spirit fox! He is his wife!

But the words that were meant to be a rebuttal turned into an incomprehensible fox cry.

She was so anxious that she kept stamping her paws.

This wretched seal!

Those despicable demon hunters!!

But she was rendered speechless at the most crucial moment!

"Not a spirit beast? Could it be a demon beast?"

The little thing shook even harder.

This made Chen Lianshu even more puzzled.

However, because of the little fox's reaction, a thought of testing him arose in his mind.

"All right."

He tentatively reached out, wanting to touch Su Jiu'er's head, but deliberately stopped in mid-air.

Sure enough, the other immediately reached out to meet his hand, feeling her husband's caress, and wagged her tail even more happily.

"Since your injuries have begun to heal, I'll be leaving now."

Before Su Jiu'er could react, he finished speaking.

Chen Lianshu then picked up Xiao Xueyan, who had been pushed aside earlier, and made a move to leave.

"?"

Seeing her husband holding the beautiful little snow flame, Su Jiu'er felt even more jealous.

She was clearly the original wife!

She's clearly the legal wife!

She traveled thousands of miles in search of her husband, facing countless dangers, and finally found him, only to discover that he had already been kidnapped by other beasts!

"Ugh!"

Seeing that her husband was about to leave, Su Jiu'er became anxious.

With her last bit of strength, she bit down on his trouser leg.

Don't go!

She finally found her husband after a long and difficult time!

"Well…"

The moment Chen Lianshu's trouser leg was grabbed, a smile appeared on his lips.

That was the smile of a successful plan.

But he quickly stopped smiling, turned around, and looked at the little guy behind him:

"Little brat, what do you think you're doing?"

"Waaah—"

Su Jiu'er didn't know how to express herself for a moment. Her ears drooped down, and the whole fox looked listless.

Looking at this little fox with its incredibly varied emotions, Chen Lianshu cruelly added another sentence:

"Shall I go then?"

Just as he was about to get up.

Su Jiu'er seemed to remember something and immediately dropped her disguise.

What was originally a single tail instantly transformed into nine fluffy, soft tails, spreading out like cotton.

This also corresponds perfectly to the style of the favorability display above her head.

The moment the nine-tailed fox came into view, a system notification sounded at just the right moment—

[Ding! Detected that the host has encountered a predestined tribulation, touching upon deep-seated entanglements]

[New simulated tribulation progress triggered]

[Demon Extermination Rate: 1%]

"?"

Chen Lianshu was slightly taken aback.

I never expected that a new simulation would be triggered in this way.

Judging from the literal meaning, it seems that I am a cultivator who controls demons in this simulation?

In this light, it makes sense why the little fox is so close to him.

It should be a spirit pet that I had previously contracted in the simulation.

Having achieved his purpose of testing, Chen Lianshu no longer maintained his composure.

He took the initiative to speak:

"Do you want to come with me?"

"Ugh!"

Su Jiu'er's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

Yes, yes, yes! Take her with you! We must take her away!

"Alright then..."

Chen Lianshu looked down at the trouser leg that had been bitten, and said with a mixture of laughter and tears:

"Let go first, I'll carry you."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiu'er immediately loosened her grip, obediently squatted down, and wagged her nine tails merrily, almost turning them into nine flowers.

"Xueyan, come up onto my shoulder first."

"It's injured, so it shouldn't be moved around too much for now."

Little Snow Flame, however, is not like a vinegar jar.

It paid no attention and lightly leaped onto Chen Lianshu's shoulder.

"!!"

Su Jiu'er's eyes lit up even more.

Her husband wanted to hold her!

He even chased that little imp off the stage so he could use his hands to hug her!

As expected, her husband still loves her!

As Chen Lianshu bent down, he took the initiative to pick up the little fox that had "given away for free" and "delivered itself to his door."

I didn't have time to fully appreciate it before, but I'm only now realizing it after getting my hands on it.

This little guy is surprisingly light?

Moreover, the fur is incredibly soft and extremely comfortable to the touch.

And the moment it was in my arms.

Su Jiu'er nestled into his arms naturally, gently rubbing her head against his chest and letting out a satisfied whimper.

All these movements were fluid and natural, as if it were the first time.

finally…

She was finally back in her husband's arms.

Although the journey was arduous, although it was fraught with hardship, and although other fairies vied for favor...

But it was all worth it.

"..."

Chen Lianshu looked down at the little fox in his arms, who had instantly calmed down, and couldn't help but sigh:

This little thing is even more affectionate than Xueyan.

"let's go."

Having said that, he picked up the newly found little fox, with Xueyan perched on his shoulder, and walked deeper into the mountains and forests.

"Hmph~"

Before she could stay still for long, Su Jiu'er glanced triumphantly at Xiao Xueyan perched on Chen Lianshu's shoulder and let out a soft snort.

Those eyes, that expression, really did have a bewitching, seductive quality.

As if to say:

I am the rightful wife; you're just someone who's trying to get my attention.

"..."

The little snow flame on her shoulder rolled its eyes in response.
