For some reason, seeing him like this, I really couldn't bear to say or do anything to him.
"Liu Yuan, stop listening to his nonsense. Quickly take him in!”Zhou Xiaoyan urged.
I slowly raised the Demon Concealing Bottle, but seeing that he was still caressing his tail in a daze, I really couldn't bear it, but I couldn't stand Zhou Xiaoyan's constant urging. After struggling for a while, I finally put down the Demon Concealing Bottle and said to Zhou Xiaoyan,"Forget it, Xiao Yan. Anyway, he doesn't have his inner core now and can't use any yao arts to harm me. Besides, look at his current appearance, he's quite pitiful.”
"Dong Han can be released, but he definitely can't!”Zhou Xiaoyan said," Don't believe him. He's pretending to be like this for you to see because he knows that you're soft-hearted. As long as he acts pitiful in front of you, you'll let him go. This is exactly what he wants! Fox demons are very good at bewitching people. Have you forgotten how miserable you were bewitched by him?
You were unconscious for five days! If you weren't lucky enough to meet an expert, you might have already become a dead person! Also, have you ever thought that if you let him go now, it's hard to guarantee that he won't find other demons who are more powerful than him to help him snatch back his inner core after he leaves? Do you think I'm a match for them? Moreover, if he snatches the inner core back, do you think he will let us go when he recovers his magic power?”
After hearing what she said, I thought about it and felt that she was right.
Thus, I slowly raised the bottle again.
"Ye Fan, you can't take him in. Although he's a nine-tailed fox and although I used to be enemies with him, I've known him since 500 years ago. How could I not know that he's really an immortal who was ordered by the Heaven Realm? That's why you can't take him in. Taking him in is equivalent to committing the death penalty of harming a heavenly deity! And if you let him go now, it's the same as letting yourself go!”
"Shut up!" Zhou Xiaoyan scoffed." The two of you are accomplices. Of course, you will speak up for him. But what I don't understand is that you are clearly a human being. Even if you have cultivated an evil aura, you don't look like a wicked person. How can you be in cahoots with this scheming and willful Nine-Tailed Fox Demon?”
Tang Yu suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at Zhou Xiaoyan." I originally thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that from the moment we stepped into the Non-Phase Village, we directly fell into the trap you set up in advance. Speak! Who instructed you?"
"Ridiculous!" Zhou Xiaoyan smiled coldly and said righteously,"Demons run amok and harm people. As long as they have some ability, they will be killed. Moreover, you want to steal my fiancé's soul. Not only will we ensure my fiancé's safety by taking you in, but we will also maintain justice and peace in the world. Do we need to be instructed by anyone?”
Then, she urged me again,"Liu Yuan, don't listen to any of their words, and don't hesitate anymore. If you don't get rid of the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze! Hurry up! Hurry up and subdue him!"
Unable to withstand Zhou Xiaoyan's repeated urging, I could only make up my mind to take him in!
A white light rushed out of the Demon Collecting Bottle and enveloped Tang Yu within.
"Dong Han, don't forget what you promised me! Take care!" Tang Yu had just finished speaking when he was sucked into the Demon Concealing Bottle.
Before I stuck the seal talisman on it, Tang Yu said one last thing from inside the bottle,""Ye Fan, you have to wake up within three days. Otherwise, it's too late!”
"Tang Yu!" Dong Han glared at me angrily," Ye Fan, you heartless fool! Do you know what you've done?”
I glanced at Dong Han and lightly said,"You should be glad that you're a human and not a monster, otherwise I would still take you in."”
I handed the bottle to Zhou Xiaoyan. She took a few steps back nervously and said unnaturally,"Put the bottle back into the wooden box and close the lid before giving it to me.”
I did as she said and handed the wooden box to her."How do you plan to deal with this Nine-tailed Fox and its inner core?”
"That demon fox is no longer a threat to us, but we can still release it. Let's seal it first and talk about it later. "As for this inner core…" Zhou Xiaoyan smiled in confusion."I have use for it."
"What's the use?" I asked curiously.
"You will know, but not now. Liu Yuan…" She took my hand and looked at me with burning eyes." Let's get married?”
"Alright." I nodded in agreement.
"Three days later, on the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, I will worship the heavens and the earth, okay?”
Three days later? Qixi night?
Something seemed to flash in my mind. I really wanted to capture it, but I couldn't find any clues.
"Liu Yuan? What are you thinking about?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked.
"Oh, nothing much." I smiled awkwardly." I just wanted to say that you can do whatever you want. I'll listen to you."”
She smiled and nodded." Let's go. I'll bring you out of the dream."”
"Ye Fan! You ungrateful, heartless bastard, idiot! To think that Tang Yu, a respected heavenly god, paid such a price for you, but you actually believed this female ghost's nonsense so easily. You really deserve the few times he saved your life! I, Dong Han, was blind to have recognized the wrong friend!……”
I was pulled by Zhou Xiaoyan to a place that was white but very bright. I didn't pay attention to Dong Han's scolding behind me.
"Ye Fan, no matter what her motive for marrying you is, you have to wake up as soon as possible. What Tang Yu lost is also what you lost, and you will definitely regret it…"
I shivered and sat up with a start.
"Liu Yuan." Zhou Xiaoyan was beside the bed, gently smiling as she wiped the cold sweat off my forehead.
I grabbed her hand and said in panic,"Xiaoyan, I-I had a dream just now…"
She suddenly stretched out her index finger and gently pressed it between my lips. She stopped smiling and looked at me seriously." It was a dream, but everything in the dream was real.”
"Really?" "Tang Yu and Dong Han really came to look for me in my dream?" I asked incredulously.”
She nodded.
Is Tang Yu really a Nine-Tailed Fox?"
She nodded again.
"Tang Yu really wants to use yao arts to harm me?”
She still nodded.
"Did I really seal Tang Yu in the Demon Concealing Bottle?”
She continued to nod.
" Then Tang Yu, he…"
"Are you done? Is that damn vixen more important or me?”Zhou Xiaoyan was half angry and half aggrieved." It wasn't easy for him to save you from that vixen, but you didn't even ask him if he was alright or if he was injured. Instead, you kept asking me about Tang Yu. You're making it seem like I'm not your fiancée." I really don't know if you have no conscience or if your soul was lured away by him and didn't come back from him?”
"…Xiaoyan, what was I thinking? I was just a little curious and surprised, so I asked a few more questions. Why was she crying? Aiyo, alright, stop crying. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. At most, I won't mention it again, okay? Don't cry anymore, okay?" I hugged Zhou Xiaoyan, who was crying her eyes out.
"That's more like it."”
Then, she wiped her tears and went to bring the food that she had prepared for me into the house.
I got out of bed and sat at the table. Looking at the delicious food, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and pick up my chopsticks impatiently.
Just as she was about to bring the dish to her mouth, she suddenly smelled an indescribable smell." Why does this dish have a strange smell? Is it broken?"
"No way. These are all fresh vegetables that my mother personally picked out and made by my mother and me.”As she spoke, she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and sniffed it before putting it into her mouth." Other than the fragrance of the food, there's really no strange smell. Is your sense of smell wrong?”
When I saw her putting the food into her mouth with her chopsticks, I also felt that there must have been a problem with my sense of smell just now, so I didn't think too much about it.
However, when I picked up another piece of food and put it into my mouth, my entire mouth was instantly filled with a strange taste.
This strange smell…seemed to be…a rancid smell?
Although I don't know what the rotten smell is, this smell is indeed in the dishes I eat. No matter how delicious these dishes look, once this smell is mixed in, no one will have the appetite to eat it anymore, right?
I quickly spat out the food in my mouth and drank some water to rinse my mouth.
"Liu Yuan, what's wrong?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked with concern.
"Why do I feel that there's a rancid smell in this dish?”I looked at her in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xiaoyan put on a straight face and quickly ate a few mouthfuls of each dish. Then, she threw her chopsticks heavily on the table and said angrily,"Where is the rancid smell? Am I not eating well? Speak! Are you deliberately slandering my cooking because you dislike the food that my mother and I cook?”
"…" I broke out in cold sweat.
Could it be…that there is something wrong with my sense of smell and taste?
No way!
I quickly apologized to Zhou Xiaoyan with a smile and said a lot of nice things to coax her. Only then did she restrain her anger.
After that, I thought about it and felt that I should meet my future mother-in-law and father-in-law. After all, the impression I had of them in my mind…seemed to be very faint, so faint that I only remembered their vague outlines and some vague scenes…
Thinking about it, I mentioned it to Zhou Xiaoyan.
"Our parents are out shopping at the night market," she said with a smile."They probably won't be back until the night market is closing.”
"Night market?" "Why don't I remember there being a night market in this village?" I asked curiously.”
"That's because you were seriously ill before, so it's normal that you can't remember a lot of things after you wake up. However, I believe that you will slowly remember everything.”Zhou Xiaoyan said.
"Oh, I see. Hmm…Then let's go to the night market too. Maybe we can meet the two elders or meet some acquaintances who can remind me of more things from the past?”
Zhou Xiaoyan was troubled." But you haven't fully recovered yet. Have a good rest tonight. I'll bring you there tomorrow night."”
"But, firstly, I'm a little anxious to see them. Secondly, I also want to quickly recover the memories I lost about our village.”
Zhou Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to take me to the night market.
