Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

Will my existence prevent the world from becoming a better place?

The girl couldn't help but think that.

"Don't talk nonsense. Neither you nor I are any heinous villains. If death could accomplish our goals, how would our decisions be any different from those of the girl from the cave?"

Chen Ruoan lay quietly, yet felt a warm breath on the tip of her ear. Wei Shufen asked in an extremely soft and seductive tone:

"Knowing full well that we can't be together, why didn't you just refuse my request? Do you have some other kind of feeling for me?"

The fox replied, "I just don't want to lose."

"Who did you lose to?"

"I lost to this damned, ill-fated relationship. If there's no way to avoid it, then it's my destiny to suffer this calamity."

Wei Shufen said in a low voice, "Isn't it too obsessive to do this? Just like what you said about me back then."

"Who knows? Perhaps I'm just blinded by bad luck. But a few days ago I met a young monk who was very knowledgeable in Buddhism. His words gave me some food for thought, and now my faith has greatly increased."

Chen Ruoan explained, pointing to Liu Zhixing playing in the water not far away.

"Don't worry, our tribulation is further away than this guy's."

"Is Brother Liu going to get into trouble too?"

“What’s more terrifying than a tragic relationship is that he and Miao Xiang may have a brief romance, but it will end quickly.”

Wei Shufen asked doubtfully, "Can't we find a way to resolve this? The future can always be changed. I have always firmly believed in one thing: your appearance changed the original trajectory of my life."

Ok?

Following Wei Shufen's words, Chen Ruoan seemed to have discovered a bug regarding the Wishing Tree.

If you make a wish upon the golden scroll to change future developments, redirect the unfavorable trend represented by the black line, and dissolve karmic entanglements, then the black scroll that created those karmic entanglements can become a bright scroll for making your wish…

"You can give it a try, but you can only succeed, you can't fail."

"If we cannot defy fate for Brother Liu, then this karmic bond would be unfair to Miss Miao Xiang," the fox said.

Wei Shufen nodded in agreement: "It would make the young lady a widow, right?"

"Yes."

"Then we need to work harder."

···

Chen Ruoan transformed into human form and, along with Wei Shufen, half-squatted beside Liu Zhixing, who was preoccupied with his own thoughts.

"What are you two doing, looking at me like I'm a monkey?"

"Brother Liu, what do you think of Zhang Huaiyi?" Chen Ruoan asked.

Liu Zhixing was shocked upon hearing this: "What do you mean?"

“Don’t be afraid, I’m talking about his character.”

"He's not exactly honest. He only says half of what he means, and when someone sees through him, he scratches his head and laughs awkwardly, sweating at his temples." After spending the night together, Liu Zhixing was able to describe Zhang Huaiyi's personality fairly well.

"You're just like him now. You're usually so open and honest, why are you acting all coy today?"

Liu Zhixing pouted and said softly, "I'm telling you, but don't laugh at me, you two."

"No, no." Chen Ruoan and Wei Shufen waved their hands in unison.

Hi--

Liu Zhixing let out a long sigh and began to talk about the changes in his mindset.

"At first, I only felt sorry for Miao Xiang, but after I slapped her and made her cry, perhaps out of guilt, that feeling of tenderness and affection began to come over me."

"If you look at it from an outsider's perspective, she is all alone in the cave, her body is full of secrets, she is in love with a non-existent god, and she will die alone in her fantasy... But she is also very beautiful, and any man who passes through her world will be unable to resist wanting to save her."

“But her world is lonely and morbid, and I can’t take advantage of her vulnerability.”

As Liu Zhixing spoke, she tried to hug her knees with both hands, adopting a unique posture that only a thoughtful young girl would have.

Chen Ruoan hadn't expected that this corpse driver would be so naive and innocent.

In their youth, which boy didn't harbor a dragon he must slay, or a princess he must rescue?

Chen Ruoan patted Liu Zhixing on the shoulder: "If you ask me, what Miao Xiang lacks is a kind person who treats her sincerely."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I have to transport corpses. Considering the time it takes for the corpse to warm and nourish itself, I'd be lucky if I could stay for another five days. I can't take a girl over mountains and valleys, and she might not even like me."

"It's alright, trust the fox's judgment."

With a strong romantic connection as a safety net, pursuing a girl in five days is by no means a pipe dream.

Nowadays, relationships are much purer. Sometimes, a matchmaker's words, along with the phrase "you're a good person," are enough to seal the deal between two people.

Unlike in my previous life, when a matchmaker would open her mouth and the other party would immediately claim to be "divorced with two children and earning 25,000 yuan a month," or if they couldn't reach an agreement, she would simply say "you are a good person," and the relationship would fall through.

Before long, there might even be some truly fantastical cases. For example, your neighbor might come over, ask, "Do you want a wife?", and then deliver her to you along with the marriage certificate—and she'll be a beautiful, charming young woman...

Encouraged by this, Liu Zhixing began to consider it.

But what should we do?

"Can you two give me some advice? What do you usually do?"

Wei Shufen replied, "I read literature occasionally."

"and then?"

"Refining Gu," Chen Ruoan added.

"That's it?"

"Let's discuss the Dao!" the two said in unison.

"That's enough, that's enough. I knew you couldn't help." Liu Zhixing waved his hand to stop, gazing at the vibrant mountains and fields, and said, "Anyway, I'll send the flowers over first, that should be fine."

The fox blew the wind through the mountains and fields, and some flower seeds were blown down by the wind, which in turn stimulated life. Gardenias with white petals and yellow stamens, wild lilies growing in twos and threes, and lively and clever "daughter flowers" bloomed on their own by the stream.

"Choose whichever you like."

Thanks.

Wei Shufen stared blankly at the pink, white, and yellow bouquets.

The atmosphere became heavy again.

Chapter 100 The Fox Paints Plum Blossoms

"You've never sent me flowers..."

Wei Shufen squatted beside the blooming flower field, using her right index finger to poke at a delicate wild lily, causing the pale white flower to sway precariously.

Chen Ruoan glanced at her and replied, "Isn't it a bit tactless to send flowers after you've clearly expressed your needs?"

"A little?" Wei Shufen wasn't sure what she was thinking either.

"Then, after you've forgotten about it, I might present you with a bouquet someday."

"That's fine too." Wei Shufen smiled upon hearing this, and stopped teasing the poor little lily with her fingertips. Her heavy aura dissipated, and the warm early summer sun shone on the flower field, warming the flowers and bathing the fragrant bushes in its light.

After getting to know her for a while, Chen Ruoan seemed to have figured out how to get along with the girl in front of him.

A girl who can regulate her aura is like an air conditioner.

The fox had no choice but to learn the skills on its own and try to become a remote control.

Liu Zhixing picked the flowers, held the bouquet, and adjusted his clothes by looking at the reflection in the stream. Then, he asked the two people next to him in a panic, "Do I have any corpse aura on me?"

"Ordinary people can't smell it."

The corpse was full of corpse energy, and after being refined, there was no smell of decay at all. Liu Zhixing was completely overthinking it.

"I'm going." Liu Zhixing walked into the house holding the flowers.

Wei Shufen remembered Zhang Huaiyi, who had been traveling with her all along, and asked, "Where is Master Zhang?"

"Ignore him, he's guarding the body."

Chen Ruoan handed over the umbrella, and Wei Shufen hugged the fox, using the umbrella to shield herself, and they followed forward together.

For the people of Jidong, offering flowers to the Luodong woman was an incomprehensible act.

Miao Xiang's grandparents were terrified and at a loss, but they dared not say anything in order to give the fox face. They also dared not refuse. The old couple simply pretended to be blind, just like Dora who loved to explore.

"I have something to give you." Liu Zhixing hid the bouquet behind his back and stood awkwardly in front of the door.

"Is it a flower?" Miao Xiang asked.

"How did you know?"

"I smelled the fragrance of flowers, including wild lilies, gardenias, and impatiens, all of which are flowers that grow in the mountains and fields."

Liu Zhixing was taken aback: "You're really amazing, you even guessed the type of flower correctly."

"Hmm. The scent of wild lilies is cool and refreshing, not sweet or cloying; gardenias have a warm, sweet, and milky fragrance, sometimes strong, but not unpleasant; balsams have a very light, fresh grassy scent, mixed with a faint, sweet aroma, and they smell even better when the petals are crushed."

Miao Xiang explained calmly.

Shocked, Liu Zhixing felt a surge of inexplicable bitterness.

With nothing to do in the mountains, Miao Xiang must have picked flowers and smelled their fragrance more than once, pouring out her heart to the wildflowers. But the flowers would only sway in the wind and wither away in her memories before she died.

Liu Zhixing picked the flowers and handed them over.

Wei Shufen stood by the window peeking in, the fox in her arms gripping the windowsill with its front paws, stepping on the girl's arm with its hind legs, and peering into the window with its sharp snout.

"Brother Liu is frank and generous. Are you a straightforward person or a joker?"

The fox looked inside the house, but Liu Zhixing didn't look at Miao Xiang; instead, he noticed a hole in the roof.

“Your place leaks when it rains, let me fix it for you.”

Oh, so you're an action-oriented person.

Chen Ruoan saw Liu Zhixing leave the room to prepare tools for repairing the roof. Miao Xiang tried to refuse but to no avail, so she put the flowers away and went to prepare water and food.

The fox waited quietly and discovered that throughout the day, Liu Zhixing had helped repair the roof, prepare firewood, and offered suggestions to make up for the economic deficit caused by the sacrifice.

Miao Xiang prepared food and water, and would hand over a coarse linen cloth for wiping sweat. She would spend the rest of the time under the wooden ladder, waiting for help, or offering to help Liu Zhixing wash his clothes…
