She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 33: Children’s unique thinking patterns

The two had only known each other for a short time, so why did their feelings become so deep?

Xie Lian didn’t understand at first, but he finally understood. It turned out that the little white fox grew up in the mountains and forests. Although he had a group of elders who loved him, he had no playmates of the same age.

Zhuang Yan was the first friend he met in his life, and he often played childish games with him.

The little white fox said with disdain, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

He has a simple mind and of course he regards Zhuang Yan as a good friend.

But the problem is that Zhuang Yan may not think so.

Although Zhuang Yan liked the little white fox before, that was because he didn’t know that the little white fox was a monster. If he knew, he might not have the same opinion.

Does Zhuang Yan know about this now?

Obviously he knows.

When Xie Lian nodded that day, he had a vague guess in his mind.

If it wasn't a monster, how could it have left a letter for him?

So the question is, can Zhuang Yan accept the little white fox as a monster?

He had a strict upbringing. His father was not pedantic, but he was a relatively decent man. For him, making friends with monsters was somewhat unorthodox.

And the most important point is whether he is afraid of monsters.

Even though he usually likes the stories about gods and monsters told by Xie Lian, he may not be able to bear it if it really happens to him.

Xie Lian had to find out whether he was just "Ye Gong who loves dragons" or he really wanted to be friends with the little white fox.

"After all, I am the elder of this child. If he is afraid of the true identity of the little white fox, then we don't need to see each other again. If we cut off our relationship early, we won't have any regrets in the future... If he doesn't care about the boundary between humans and monsters, then I won't be a bad person and let him and the little white fox continue their relationship!"

Xie Lian decided to fully respect Zhuang Yan's own ideas.

In fact, like the little white fox, Zhuang Yan’s childhood was incomplete as he lacked a playmate with whom he could play.

If they both feel that this relationship is precious and are unwilling to give it up, then Xie Lian will make it happen.

She has now embarked on the journey of spiritual practice and has a deeper understanding of the little white fox. In her opinion, there will be no risk in the two of them getting along with each other. What really hinders them is the obstacles in people's hearts.

Zhuang Yan thought for a long time and finally spoke.

"Aunt Lian, is the little white fox willing to recognize me as a friend?"

This question made Xie Lian puzzled.

Could it be that the reason why Zhuang Yan hesitated was not because of fear?

"Why do you think so?"

Xie Lian was curious.

"The little white fox is a demon, he must have magical powers and can do many incredible things, but I am just a mortal. Will he despise me? Will he think that my games are too childish..."

Zhuang Yan said with a conflicted look on his face.

"So this is what you're worried about."

Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What on earth was this? Was it a child’s unique way of thinking? Or was this child born to be bold?

"As far as I know, the little white fox won't dislike you. He doesn't say it, but in his heart he thinks of you as a good friend... But I don't understand, you know the little white fox is a monster, aren't you afraid?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan grinned.

"I believe the little white fox won't hurt me, and besides, isn't there Aunt Lian?"

He raised his head, his eyes filled with trust.

It turned out to be the case.

Xie Lian had never expected that he was the one who gave Zhuang Yan confidence. It seemed that this little fellow was indeed a smart person and knew that she, who had dealt with the little white fox, was not an ordinary person.

"Since you have made your decision, I will take you to see the little white fox."

Xie Lian held Zhuang Yan's hand and walked out of the city.

Zhuang Yan's face was full of excitement.

For him, it was not only about seeing his good friend that he had been thinking about for a long time, but also because a magical world that he had never come into contact with and had only seen in legends and picture books was slowly unfolding the tip of the iceberg to him.

The two walked towards the mountains.

It was a long way for a child, but Zhuang Yan, who had been strictly educated by Zhuang Mochen since childhood, did not complain about the hardship and always maintained enough enthusiasm. A thrush saw the two from a distance, but it flapped its wings and flew back like a stream of light.

"Here we go, senior is here!"

The thrush chirped.

But it was the clear voice of a little girl.

Before, she had not yet refined her transverse bone and could not speak human language, but now her Taoism has improved and she can speak human language like other monsters.

But the bird still couldn't change its habit and it was very noisy when talking.

"Are you sure it's Senior?"

The white snake looked nervous and asked the thrush that was assigned as sentry.

"It's exactly the same as the portrait drawn by the little white fox. The senior is wearing a green dress and looks plain and simple. Who else could it be but her? But she's also holding a little baby."

Whoosh!
A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and it was the little white fox that rushed out and said excitedly.

"Aunt Thrush, are you sure there is still a little baby?"

The fox mother said.

"Could it be that the good friend you're thinking about is also here with you?"

The little white fox blurted out.

"It should be."

But then he became proud again and said with his hands on his hips.

"Who is thinking about him? I never did! In my opinion, that little kid is very childish. He actually treats me as an ordinary fox. If I suddenly speak, he will definitely be scared!"

The monsters were speechless.

The white snake ignored the little white fox and said.

"Get ready, get ready, and welcome the seniors."

The tension in her voice became more and more obvious.

All the monsters felt that the eldest sister, who was usually calm and composed, was not in good shape today.

But they all understood.

The one who came is...a senior!

"Aunt Lian, is the little white fox's home in the mountains?"

Zhuang Yan saw the endless sea of ​​forest and asked while standing at the mountain pass.

"It's in the mountains. We may have to look for the exact location."

Xie Lian felt the little hand holding his tighten slightly, and knew that Zhuang Yan was getting nervous.

In fact, she also had a bit of a headache.

The little white fox is really unreliable. The mountain is so big and he didn't tell her the exact location. How can she find it?

But at this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the forest.

It was as if some huge monster had crushed it.

The next moment, a giant tiger as big as a hill emerged from the woods. Its head alone was as big as a calf, and it was very intimidating.

"Oh my god, what a big tiger!"

Zhuang Yan screamed immediately, and as a human instinct, his legs subconsciously went weak.

But soon Xie Lian's calm voice was heard.

"You are the Uncle Tiger that the little white fox mentioned, right?"

The giant tiger nodded, knelt down on its two pillar-like front legs, and said respectfully.

"Tiger Power greets the senior!"

……

The giant tiger was so huge that even when it was kneeling down, it still felt oppressive.
