Qin Jing lay on the carpet, with Xiao Kui hugging him and whispering to him.
Meanwhile, Qin's parents looked at Su Jiu and asked, "What do we need to do to cure this child?"
"As long as things remain as they are now, let him stay at home for a while," Su Jiu said.
"Huh? Is that all? Is there no medicine or some kind of treatment?" Qin's father asked.
“Right now, for Xiaojing, the love of her family is the only medicine,” Su Jiu said.
“Even if you don’t say it, we will do it. Teacher Su, please make sure you cure Xiaojing. You said you would take good care of Xiaojing before we agreed to let her go.” Qin’s father bowed to Su Jiu.
Su Jiu helped Qin's father up and said, "Don't be like this. It was my fault this time. I promise I will do everything in my power to save my disciple. Please believe me."
But the prerequisite for curing him is a relaxing and restful environment. You are this child's greatest support, so please don't think the worst. Take good care of Xiaojing and wait for me to come back.
"Yes! Please take care of me, Teacher Su." Qin's mother said, holding Su Jiu's hand tightly.
"Leave it to me!" Su Jiu assured them and then left. Although she had made such a firm promise to the Qin couple, she was actually powerless against the demon's curse; their only chance of salvation lay with them.
It is like a curse that you will abandon your own children.
Or overcome the curse and prove your love for your child.
It's all up to you now.
Su Jiu thought to herself, and could only offer her blessings in her heart.
Section 259, Chapter 75: The Monster's Daily Life at Home
Su Jiu left the Qin family and warned the surrounding monster inhabitants.
From now on, this is a matter for the Qin family alone; no monster is allowed to interfere or offer any assistance.
Because the monster was too big to fit in the room, Qin's parents cleared out all the items in the living room to make Qin Jing more comfortable, leaving only the carpet for the fox monster to lie on.
After discussing it for a night, the couple decided that Mr. Qin would continue to go to work to earn money, while Mrs. Qin would stay at home to take care of the children.
"After all, I have a son who eats a lot, so I have to work hard to earn money!"
Father Qin kissed his wife, hugged Xiao Kui, then hugged the big fox's head tightly, patted his head, and then went out.
The big fox was sleeping soundly on the carpet. A door to the veranda was open, and a gentle breeze blew in from outside. He used to sit there reading as a child, enjoying the cool and leisurely atmosphere.
I've been staying at home for several days, and apart from feeling a bit groggy and drowsy, everything feels great.
Staying at home really made him feel relaxed. The warmth of his family was different from the warmth of his friends, which made him feel more at ease accepting it.
Qin's parents took good care of Qin Jing, always giving him warm hugs.
When Xiao Kui came home from school, she would play with him. On holidays, she would even take a nap with him. He would use his tail as a blanket for her. The only bad thing about this girl was that she always liked to bite his tail after falling asleep.
But as the days went by, Qin Jing's memory grew thinner and thinner, and recently she had begun to forget the names of her familiar family members.
But the warmth these family members gave him remained unchanged; the monster deeply loved this warm family.
However, as her memory faded, Qin Jing became more and more like a monster. Sometimes, she would suddenly think of something and her body would move.
Its enormous body, in its cramped home, would occasionally bump into and break things.
With a loud bang.
The bowl that fell to the ground was shattered. Qin's mother smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, don't come over, Mom will take care of it."
He reached out and picked it up, but his hand was cut by a shard.
The fox monster stuck out its tongue to lick its mother, but when it opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, fear showed in the woman's eyes.
Qin Jing pulled her head back, lowered her body as much as possible and lay face down on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes.
He feared more than anyone that he would hurt his family, hated himself more than anyone, and cursed himself more than anyone for not dying and instead lingering here, causing endless trouble for his family.
Qin's mother saw the tears in his eyes, hugged her son tightly, and couldn't help but cry as well, saying, "Xiao Jing, it's not your fault. It's because Mom is too timid and cowardly. Even a mouse can scare me."
"So...it's definitely not your fault...I'm sorry, it's Mom's fault for hurting you."
"...God, why did my son have to go through something like this?"
Qin's mother sighed deeply. After her bout of crying, she held her son, patted his back, and coaxed him to sleep, just like when Qin Jing was first born, she held him and gently rocked him to sleep. Only, the baby was a little too big now.
The monster lost most of its memories, and its intelligence also declined. Gradually, it forgot many things, and once it forgot them, it could no longer understand them even if it encountered them again.
For example, why does the little girl who plays with the head of the household have to go out every morning and not come back until the afternoon?
And why does the woman who has always been by his side smile gently at him, but secretly shed tears when she is alone?
There are many things he just can't understand.
It was just a warm feeling, and I was grateful that he hadn't been abandoned.
He always couldn't control his noise, knocking things over and causing all sorts of trouble, but he was always tolerated, and after being scolded, he would be patted on the head and comforted.
'Mom? Dad?'
You can often hear that little girl calling out like that; it seems to be a name for those two warm-hearted beings.
I feel like these two words are the best way to express my gratitude.
For some reason, the monster felt an urge to open its mouth and make a sound, mimicking what the girl had said.
"Awooo... Awooo... Awooo."
The fox demon's throat structure is different from that of a human, but Qin Jing still tried very hard to pronounce those two words.
“Ma... Mo... Pull... Ba”
"Mom...Mom! Dad...Dad."
"Hey! It's Mom! Good boy/girl."
"Xiaojing, it's Daddy!"
The parents embraced the enormous child with tears in their eyes.
They were unable to experience the emotions that Qin Jing felt when she was young because their son was so precocious, but now they finally got to experience them all.
When his parents' tears fell on Qin Jing, some of the cursed filth on his body was washed away.
"What's going on?" The demon serpent in a certain cave suddenly trembled, feeling that the curse it had cast had weakened a bit.
"Of course, your curse is wrong again." At this moment, Su Jiu and Qiongqi appeared in the cave and said.
"It's really strange. Whether they're monsters or humans, have they all lost their selfish nature? How can they still maintain their emotions when facing such ugly beasts?" The demon snake couldn't understand it at all.
"There's only one last step," Su Jiu said.
"Hehehe, the Sage of Monsters and the Headmaster are both here, what a lively show!" At this moment, the Red Devil also jumped out from the ground.
"Red Devil, wanna make a bet?" Su Jiu asked.
"A bet? Sure! Sure! Hehehe! The devil loves these dirty tricks the most. Sage of the Demon, what new tricks do you have that can fool me?" the Red Devil said with a grin.
“No, this time I’m only betting on the outcome, on whether this child can win in the end,” Su Jiu said, pointing to the monster in the mirror.
"Hehehe, then I'm sure to win, right? Even a cunning fox can make a fool of itself sometimes, hehehe, I'm betting!" Red Devil said with a wicked grin.
"Don't be too happy yet. He's passed the test of friends and family, even if those around him are all saints and sacred beasts of noble character. But the last test, human nature is so complicated, how could he possibly pass it?" The demon snake flicked its tongue, its vertical pupils staring straight at Qin Jing in the mirror, and said in a gloomy tone.
"It's because we all believe that humanity has infinite possibilities that we approached Qin Jing. You were wrong from the start," Su Jiu said quietly as she passed through the spatial portal.
After that, Su Jiu came to the Qin family alone.
In the living room, the big fox was wagging its tail and playing with the little sunflower that was pouncing on it.
"We've overcome this hurdle. Thank you for your unwavering support of this child," Su Jiu said with a relieved and approving smile. Xiao Jing must have been able to get through all this so smoothly because she has parents like these.
"This is the natural thing for parents to do. Teacher Su, have you found a way to save this child?" Mr. and Mrs. Qin asked anxiously.
“Now there’s only one hurdle left. I’ll take this child with me now,” Su Jiu said.
Where are you taking this child?
Kindergarten.
"Eh?"
Section 260, Chapter 76: Qin Jing in Kindergarten
A stunningly beautiful woman with long black hair, revealing the gentlest and most approachable smile in the world, extended her hand to the giant fox and said, "Xiao Jing, come with me!"
The fox turned its head away and looked back at its parents.
"..." Su Jiu smiled and withdrew her hand, but her elegant and noble demeanor still couldn't hide her previous embarrassment.
Qin's parents stepped forward and stroked the big fox's head.
"Woof?" The big fox looked at its family members, who seemed different today, with a puzzled expression.
"Go for it, good luck!" Qin's father encouraged him.
"Listen to your teacher, don't roll around on the ground, and don't pee or poop anywhere," Qin's mother said, repeating the instructions several times with some concern.
"Seriously, Nini, you'd better hurry up and get into elementary school, otherwise Kui will be going to middle school soon," the girl said, patting the fox's body.
This time, the big fox understood his family's meaning, agreed, and followed Su Jiu. Although he didn't quite understand, his subconscious knew that following his kin was the right choice.
As Su Jiu spoke, a massive spatial portal unfolded behind her.
Su Jiu led the monster through the spatial portal and arrived at the Sunflower Kindergarten, which he used to know very well.
"Awooo?" The monster scanned its surroundings, finding them somewhat familiar, yet unable to quite place them.
"Who on earth is visiting this place?" Sensing the eerie atmosphere, Principal Gao and Teacher Hong rushed over.
"Lord Su Jiu?" Teacher Hong recognized the visitor.
"This is truly an unwelcome greeting. What brings you here?" the stone demon, Director Gao, asked, bowing respectfully. Although he did not belong to Penglai, he admired the deeds of this sage demon.
"Look at this child, can you still recognize who he is?"
"That familiar... aura?" Director Gao asked, opening her narrowed eyes.
Teacher Hong walked straight over and touched the monster's head, exclaiming with heartache, "Xiao Jing? What happened to you!"
Because the monster contained her essence and blood, she instantly recognized its true identity.
"Aww?" The monster looked at the red-haired female in front of it, feeling that she was somewhat familiar, but it couldn't remember who she was, and gently rubbed her face.
"What happened? How did this child become like this?" Teacher Hong asked, looking at Su Jiu.
"It's a long story," Su Jiu said.
"Then please wait in the back courtyard to sit down and talk. Xiao Jing will be fine here." Teacher Hong said, whistling, and walked inside.
Just then, a white dog ran over.
"Wang Wang."
"Ow."
"Wang!"
"Ow."
The dog saw a large creature with a familiar scent and ran over to greet it.
The monster fox also called out and responded with a few words.
Teacher Hong invited Su Jiu to sit down and brought her a plate of dried fruit, while Principal Gao brewed her a pot of fine tea.
"Thank you." Su Jiu accepted the tea.
"Then please tell me what exactly happened," Teacher Hong asked.
Su Jiu recounted Qin Jing's experiences and the curse to the two compatriots.
"I understand. Then let the child stay." Teacher Hong agreed without much thought.
"Sigh... Even if I wanted to persuade her, there's nothing I could do. Besides, Qin Jing is a rare good student who remembers her alma mater." Principal Gao sighed, but didn't object.
“What are you talking about? As that child’s teacher, now is the time for us to help him,” Teacher Hong said.
“But, as for the other children… I know. Anyway, I’ll take turns with you to watch over Qin Jing,” Principal Gao said.
"I don't think we need to worry about that," Su Jiu said, looking outside.
