Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Kafka listened to the voices from Silver Wolf's side, leaning lazily against the wall, looking quite relaxed.

"Don't be so nonchalant! You know I was the one who recommended that account to you! When your identity is exposed, you'll be exposed too!"

"Ok, I know."

It was just that it was rare to see the little silver wolf so flustered, and it was quite novel.

"Then let Sam help you. As for me, well, I really don't have time to help you resolve this crisis."

After all, it would take some time to control the demonic body of the blade until those people arrived, so the spellcasting could hardly be stopped.

So Kafka really didn't have time to help with this.

However, before hanging up, Kafka gently reminded Silver Wolf, "Be lenient with her, Silver Wolf, you're just a kid."

"Varied...!"

Before Silver Wolf's furious words could fully reach the other end, Kafka maliciously ended the communication session.

Then I saw voice messages, each exactly sixty seconds long, being sent over.

Hmm, I feel like what they're going to say is really vulgar, so I'm not listening.

"What about the fox?"

Blade sat to one side with his eyes closed, seemingly having overheard her conversation with Silver Wolf, and asked a few questions nonetheless.

"It's nothing, just kids playing around. Why, do you want to go see that little fox?"

Blade didn't speak.

"Let's go take a look before we leave, because it might be difficult to meet again later."

Kafka chuckled lightly, naturally understanding Blade's thoughts, since he was one of the ones who brought Yulan back.

In a sense, I've watched that child grow up to this point.

"Hmm." He responded with his eyes closed, then remained silent.

They had to continue following the script given by Elio, and for the time being, they couldn't find the time to accompany Yuran, who had been forcibly brought back by Kafka.

After Pinocchio, who knows if they'll have time to continue secretly watching the little fox?

Moreover, they didn't even know if Xilan would continue traveling with the Starry Sky Train, and Elio the cat refused to say anything.

It simply kept its black, kitten-like face licking its paws elegantly, seemingly ignoring their questions.

Kittens don't understand what you humans are saying.

Then, in protest, Tianren stopped the other party's after-dinner meal.

As for the matter concerning Silver Wolf, it will be left to Silver Wolf and Firefly to handle, although it would be best if they didn't reveal their identities.

While Silver Wolf and Sam, who was waiting nearby, were secretly chatting, Silver Wolf seemed much happier after they started exchanging ideas, while Sam looked dejected and seemed to want to continue the conversation.

She then looked down at the game console in her hand, which she could easily crush at any moment.

It feels even more difficult than changing Xilan's diapers when she was a baby.

"....Why."

She glanced at the terminal in her hand, then looked up at Silver Wolf's happy departing figure, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

Never mind, as long as they are happy.

She sat awkwardly on another sofa, using the mecha's hands to operate the game console.

Sam, who had only occasionally played games, was not very good at controlling the small game console in his hand, even with the help of Silver Wolf (who cheated).

After taking a nap, Xi Lan slowly sat up after discovering that Silver Wolf was missing. Her clothes were loose, and she looked at the empty living room with a somewhat confused expression.

This somewhat relaxing afternoon nap, however, caused Xi Lan to sleep until nightfall.

Xi Lan's eyes were somewhat blank as she looked into the dark room, only able to vaguely see the light coming from outside.

.....

It felt like I was back on that night when I was abandoned.

Uncontrollably and inevitably, Xi Lan's breathing became slightly rapid, yet she silently curled up her body, trying to control herself.

The most familiar person or doll, the familiar comforting scent, are no longer by your side.

It's not here, it's not here, it's not here at all...

Have I been abandoned again?

She could only silently hug her fluffy tail, helplessly watching everything in the night.

Stop thinking about it, stop thinking about it... I'm a big fox now, not the child who couldn't do anything.

They're not here, I can leave... I want to get out of here...

"Stay far away from them..."

She murmured softly, "I want to... find... find Jade, Jade... Lady Jade..." but her voice was tinged with sobs, unable to control her longing for her.

She even regretted refusing Jade during their previous phone call.

Like a child wanting to go back to their parents, Xi Lan forcibly controlled the trembling in her body, but her breathing became more and more rapid, and she was obviously overbreathing.

As she staggered to the door and barely managed to grasp the doorknob, the door was opened on the other side.

Xi Lan was caught off guard and stumbled back a few steps. She then lost her balance and, if the silver wolf hadn't grabbed the man's wrist with lightning speed and pulled her back with all its might, the large fox in front of her, who seemed to have lost its soul, would have already collapsed to the ground.

With one hand tightly gripping Xi Lan's wrist, and the other hand turning on the room's light, Silver Wolf was able to see Xi Lan's current condition immediately.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, making her look like a bullied child; even the snow-white fox ears on her head began to droop.

Her light purple eyes, as if just coming to their senses, looked at the silver wolf who had grabbed her with teary eyes.

"Where have you been?"

Her voice was muffled and nasal, clearly indicating that she had just woken up and had been crying.

It seems that Xi Lan no longer cares about her image or her dislike for the Star Core Hunters.

It's like returning to the state of a young child, constantly exploring their 'family' in the darkness.

But now she has found it.

Silver Wolf seemed to sense something, glanced out the window, and realized it was already night.

It naturally brings to mind the night Xilan was abandoned.

I was really born! Why didn't you turn on the lights before you left?!

Silver Wolf was at a loss. His usually eloquent mouth was at a loss for words. His lips opened and closed, but no words came out.

Xi Lan sobbed, not letting the silver wolf speak, but instead taking the initiative and hugging the small silver wolf in front of her with even more force.

At this moment, the woman was tightly embracing the silver wolf, as if afraid that she would leave, and the force she used was as if she wanted to melt her into her body.

Silver Wolf wanted to explain something, but upon hearing Xi Lan's words the next second, he froze, completely speechless.

"I thought, I thought, that you didn't want me anymore..."

With tears welling in her eyes, Xi Lan, still immersed in her nightmare, whimpered pitifully.

"Don't abandon me...don't leave me..."

Chapter 109 You're such a good person

All right.

Now we don't have to worry about being exposed.

Now, Silver Wolf needs to figure out how to win over the fox lady in front of him.

After all, from the moment Xi Lan came to her senses until she crawled into bed, it seemed like almost twenty minutes had passed.

Silver Wolf's gray eyes were fixed on the large, bulging quilt, where even a single tail was hidden from view.

It seemed she was recalling the rare vulnerable look Xi Lan had shown in front of her earlier.

Hey, can't we really bring Xilan back? Bring her to stay with them?

Although Silver Wolf really wanted to ask the boss about this, he would probably just pretend to be clueless and then have the old man stop giving him cat treats!

"Um...why don't you want to come out and say something?"

Silver Wolf stretched out his finger and poked at the blankets where Xi Lan was hiding.

The result seemed to be that the other party just squirmed a few times, then silently wrapped themselves in blankets and kept a distance from the other party.

Clearly, Xilan doesn't really want to talk to Yinlang right now.

If she could, she would love to get back on the train as soon as possible, or even have Ms. Emerald bring people to pick her up.

The events of this period have left Xi Lan completely exhausted, especially after saying those shameful things to that guy.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

How could I have said those things?! Even if I were to say them, I would only do so in front of Lady Emerald!

Xi Lan, who was beginning to doubt her fox-like existence, buried herself in her blankets again, seemingly unwilling to face reality for the time being.

Especially when facing that guy outside, he even wanted to punch himself to make himself lose his memory, so that nothing had happened!

But the silver wolf outside clearly didn't think so!

She even wanted to call me out for a chat! How terrifying!

A cunning and wicked fellow!!

Even with its tail tucked into the blankets, Xi Lan couldn't help but wag its tail, flapping it wildly.

Even his face turned red from holding it in under the covers.
