Please be my partner.

Being extremely intelligent, it naturally understood what "pregnancy" meant, but what puzzled it was that it had not mated with other male foxes. How could it become pregnant out of thin air?

Feeling the little life growing in its body, the little fox suddenly realized that this might be related to the ball of light it swallowed.

Part of the original ball of light was digested by it, but some of it remained in its body, combined with its blood, and now became its offspring.

It was naturally happy that it was about to give birth to offspring, but soon things went wrong.

The child she was carrying was rapidly devouring its power.

The little fox thought of many ways to try to alleviate the situation, including attacking the two-legged beast's city at night, dragging everyone into a dream, and absorbing the scattered mental energy of hundreds of thousands of people.

But, it's all useless.

Gradually, the little fox understood that the root of all this came from the ball of light. It was not the child in its body that was devouring it, but the ball of light that was trying to restore its wholeness.

After understanding this, the little fox also knew the way to solve its growing weakness, which was to kill the baby in the womb, so that the light would have no support and would naturally merge with it again.

Struggle, hesitation, confusion, helplessness...

Maybe, maybe not.

The little fox's final decision was to allow the little life growing in its body to devour it.

After all, that was its child, how could it possibly bear to hurt it?!

In this way, in the constant pursuit and escape, the little fox's vitality became weaker and weaker, but a belief supported it and prevented it from dying like this.

Because, after it dies, what will happen to its children?

During this period, it had no intention of leaving the forest, perhaps because of its attachment to home, or perhaps because it was fantasizing about encountering light.

Just then, a young man appeared in front of it.

how to say?

This young man was very strange. He did not shout or kill after seeing it. Instead, he had an aura that made it extremely comfortable and couldn't help but want to get close to it.

With its magical ability, the little fox can see the two dogs following the boy, and their closeness and attachment to the boy. It can even recall some of the boy's experiences based on the breath it captures.

This made it understand the boy's attitude towards other lives.

Isn't this the trustee it has been looking for?

After reading the last memory, Melen understood what the little fox in front of him meant.

He glanced at the ball of light above the little fox's head, which had turned into a gray-black attribute ball. He understood that this meant that the latter's origin had been completely depleted. Even the omnipotent spiritual energy or the transformation into a fairy-tale life could not save it.

In this case, there is no point in worrying about the disaster caused by the little fox in Xigamali City.

So Melen said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

After getting the answer he wanted, the little fox looked relieved.

Then, the light in its eyes disappeared, and the gray matter on its body quickly spread. In a few breaths, it turned into a stone sculpture. When the breeze blew, it turned into powder and dispersed with the wind.

There is a tiny life squirming in the powder.

Mellen's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. Above that little lifeform was also a glow of attribute, mostly green. But in the center of this green glow, there was a different kind of brilliance. It was a...

Deep purple color!

Chapter 169 Little Liuli and the Secret Realm

Gently brush away the dust to reveal the little fox inside.

Holding it in the hand and observing it carefully, this little fox is fiery red all over, with red behind its ears and a wisp of white fur between its eyebrows. At this time, it curled up like a small ball of fur.

The moment he saw the little fox, a strange picture vaguely flashed through Mellen's mind...

In the inexplicable light, a holy and noble fox appeared and disappeared, and the nine tails behind it intertwined into layers of phantoms, covering the sky and the sun!

When Melen blinked again, the images had disappeared, and the little fox was still in his hand.

At this moment, the little fox woke up from the haze. It was confused for a moment, and then saw Melen.

The little fox narrowed his eyes slightly, his clear pupils seemed to be sparkling, and he stood up shakily and wanted to walk towards Mellen.

Melen quickly used his other hand to protect the little fox to prevent it from falling. Although this little thing had just been born, it was about 20 cm long and almost occupied his entire palm.

Being held in Mellen's palm, the little fox seemed extremely comfortable. It spread out its limbs and lay down completely.

Melen gently touched the little fox's head, and the latter made a humming sound in comfort.

It appeared, the crying monster!

Melen said: "Since your mother has entrusted you to me, you will follow me from now on."

After thinking for a moment, he said to himself: "Fox, Nine-Tailed Fox? In that case, why not call you Ahri? No, no, I'll just call you Liuli from now on, little Liuli."

After confirming the little fox's name, he suppressed these thoughts and looked at the former's attributes...

【Name】：Glass

[Race]: Red-eared Fox (Dark Green Elite)

[Racial Level]: Zero

[Racial Skills]: Charm

【Evolution direction】：→???

【Status】: Unknown origin digesting

……

……

[Charm]: The red-eared fox is born with unparalleled charm, which can win the favor of any intelligent or non-intelligent life. It can weaken the hostility of the opponent and significantly reduce its mental resistance.

Its attributes are very simple. Apart from the somewhat peculiar racial skill [Charm], it seems to be just an ordinary red-eared fox that has awakened to extraordinary power.

If it weren't for the strange light seen in Liuli's mother's memory, and the deep purple hidden in the attribute light ball, who would have thought of the specialness of this little fox?

But it's ordinary...

Although little Liuli is just a tiny newborn, she vaguely reveals an elegant and noble temperament, just like a...little fairy.

Melen looked at the [Status] in Xiao Liuli's attributes, which showed "digesting unknown origin". This should refer to the strange light. Is that some kind of origin?

However, this seems to be reasonable. If it were not for the magical origin, it would be impossible to transform an ordinary little fox into a terrifying existence that can instantly pull hundreds of thousands of people in a city into dreams in a short period of time.

According to the little fox's performance, this origin should be more like dreams, illusions, souls, etc. As for why, we need to wait until little Liuli digests it before we can really see the clues.

But all of this is for the future. Now...

Mellen looked at little Liuli, who was lying comfortably on his shoulder with her little tail wagging slightly, and smiled slightly.

Now, let the little fairy enjoy her childhood.

Thinking of this, Mellen was suddenly stunned and looked at Spike.

Speaking of which, whether it is Xiao Honglian, Garuru, or Xiao Liuli, they have all followed him since childhood. That is why Melen will let them have a childhood and play freely as much as possible.

Only Spike has been so sensible since he followed him that it makes people feel distressed. More importantly, when Mellen signed the contract with the dog, Cheng saw its miserable childhood.

Thinking of this, the pain in Melen's eyes almost overflowed.

Spike looked at Mellen, with a big question mark floating on his head. He always felt that the boy seemed to be thinking about something strange.

After tidying up, Melen walked away slowly with Xiao Honglian standing on one shoulder and Xiao Liuli lying on the other.

That's right, compared to his normal movement speed, this time it can indeed be called "slow walking".

Originally, he wanted to put Xiao Liuli in the fairy tale kingdom, so that she could be taken care of by Spike and Xiao Honglian.

However, as soon as little Liuli left Melen, her "mother", she started crying and making a fuss. Melen had no choice but to keep it with her. In order to prevent it from falling off her shoulders, it was natural for her to slow down her pace a little.

A few days later, a team of pursuers arrived here carefully. After staring at the remaining dust traces for a long time, the expressions of the pursuers in the team gradually became extremely excited.

Even though the news of the Dream Fox's death was blocked by the top leaders of the Fox Hunter Alliance, it still quickly spread within the alliance and even throughout the entire West Gamali City. For a moment, both factions in the alliance were silent.

…………

Melen didn't care about the subsequent development of the Fox Hunter Alliance in Xigamali City. After simply harvesting some good-looking bloodlines in the mountains and forests, he went directly to the north.

Although the whole journey was through the wilderness, it had nothing to do with wilderness survival.

Possessing the dreamlike power of a fairytale kingdom, he can create a fairytale cottage with his bare hands at any time. Occasionally, when he encounters a place with beautiful scenery, he will stop to rest.

The only thing that gives Melen a headache is that the new fairy in the team is quite noisy and extremely clingy. She can hardly leave Melen for a moment. In addition, there is Harulu who likes to destroy the house, and even Xiao Honglian occasionally becomes an 'accomplice'.

Now, even Spike would avoid these little creatures.

Fortunately, although the little ones are naughty, they are still obedient and do not develop into naughty children.

A few days later, Melen arrived at the strange valley mentioned in Nomi's diary.

This place is quite hidden. From the outside, it looks like a small hill. Only when you reach a certain angle can you find a crack leading to the inside.

There is a road about a few kilometers south of the valley. When Nomi was young, he passed by here for repairs and was accidentally chased by a wild beast. He accidentally discovered this place.

The area of the valley is not large and looks very desolate. Melen explored the surroundings inside and out but did not find anything special.

According to the diary, Nomi always entered the strange valley at night, but not every night, and even the dates were not fixed.

He once spent nearly three months here, but gained nothing.

The few times I entered, although they were all at night, were not at the same time. Sometimes it was just after dark, and sometimes it was late at night.

The length of time one can stay in the Strange Valley is not fixed, but it is generally more than an hour.

Looking at the ordinary valley in front of him, Melen fell into deep thought.

If we rule out the option that Nomi set a trap in the diary to deliberately harm later comers, then the current situation is most likely some kind of secret realm.

Melen had also read about the so-called secret realm in books in college.

The essence of the secret realm is some scattered spaces that are attached to the world and free.

These spaces can be captured by people with relevant abilities, and then fixed link channels can be established to form secret realms.

After the spiritual tide dried up and the extraordinary became less visible, the inheritance of most powerful forces was cut off, which gradually disconnected the original secret realms.

However, when the spiritual tide returns, these original secret spaces may reconnect with the world due to spiritual attraction or some other reasons.

Of course, these links are likely to be random and intermittent.

After understanding this, what Mellen had to do next was very simple.

Or, he would just wait here and see if 'good luck favors fools', waiting for the secret space that might be connected again.

Otherwise, he could only try to locate the connection point of the secret space and then force his way through.

Although Mellen has plenty of time, he won't be so foolish as to choose the first method.

The second one seems quite difficult, but it is not completely impossible.

Since that secret space can be linked to here several times, it at least means that it is nearby in the spatial sense.

After the incident at Nomi's Puppet Manor, Melen had a new understanding of the spatial application of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, so if he wanted to do this, it shouldn't be difficult as long as he tried a few more times.

Next, Melen settled here. During the day, he would play and rest, and at night he would use the power of the fairy tale kingdom to penetrate the space and explore.

It is worth mentioning that according to some current research in the world, if the world is compared to a plane, then in terms of space, the spiritual world is usually located "below" the world, while the free space has no fixed direction. As for "above" the world, there seems to be a special world that is similar to the spiritual world and is equally vast. According to some religious people, the great existence they believe in comes from there.

Of course, the above knowledge is only based on the current understanding of the world and is not absolute.

In this way, several days passed by in a flash while I was playing and studying.

That day, near dusk, Melen was cooking delicious food.

In fact, Mellen didn’t have many hobbies. Fishing, which he had developed on the island, was one of them. But he couldn’t dig a pond himself in this remote wilderness.

Well, it's not impossible, but it really doesn't make much sense.

Not far from Mellen, Spike was lying there practicing his branding skills.

Xiao Liuli and Garuru were running around outside the house, while Xiao Honglian was taking care of them.

This place is already in the north, and the temperature is quite low in this month. Garuru and Xiao Honglian naturally don't care about this. One is a mechanical dog and the other is very powerful, so they can basically ignore the influence of the external environment.

Little Liuli, on the other hand, was quite uncomfortable at first, and even moved her usual position from Mellen's shoulders to his arms.

However, the little fairy's growth rate is quite amazing. In just a few days, her body has grown a lot bigger and her hair has become thicker, enough to withstand the severe cold outside, so she became noisy again.

After enjoying dinner, Melen took the dogs into the fairy tale kingdom. Little Liuli was very reluctant to leave, but after so many days, it also understood that it could not be with its "mother" all the time. As a good child, it naturally had to listen to its "mother".
