Just in case, Zhuyou raised his hand and set up a level barrier around them.

He and Chen Shuang stood a few steps away, keeping a close eye on what was happening on this side.

"Let me apply the cream to your chin first."

Xu Wan spread the ointment along the direction of the scar, "If it hurts, just say so, don't bear it."

Fox Jiu responded with a "okay" and lowered his head to cooperate with her movements.

The flickering firelight illuminated her face, and Hu Jiu tightened his grip on her lower back.

"Wanwan, you look so beautiful."

"Do I look better now or before?"

"They all look good."

She lowered her head and rubbed some more into her palm, a slow smile playing on her lips. "Tch, it sounds like a lie."

"That night, among the three of us, who was the prettiest?"

Xu Wan stopped what she was doing and looked up to meet his smiling gaze.

"Intentional?"

Fox was in a good mood. "Hmm~ Didn't Wanwan say I was the most handsome male? Why are you hesitating?"

Seeing that he didn't react much, Xu Wan felt a little relieved and was in the mood to joke with him.

"Really? I don't remember that."

Something wrapped around her waist. She looked down and saw it was Fox Jiu's tail.

"Tail!"

Her eyes lit up, and forgetting that there was still ointment on her hands, she reached out to touch it.

The fiery red tail nimbly dodged, yet each time it would come close again just when she was about to give up.

It's as if it's saying: You're almost there, come and catch me!

"Fox Spirit~"

Xu Wan laughed in exasperation, and was about to pinch his face to "threaten" him, but before she could touch him, her laughter stopped.

Foxy's brows were almost furrowed, but when she saw her looking over, he tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"We've been discovered..."

Ignoring the tail, she hastily wiped her hands clean on the animal skin skirt and cupped his face in her hands.

"Fox Spirit, how are you feeling?"

Before she could get an answer, a soft object was squeezed into her palm.

She subconsciously pinched it twice, and then heard the fox in front of her start panting.

"Wanwan..."

Fox Jiu's expression gradually changed from restraint to pain.

He braced himself with his hands behind his back, his face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

But when he looked at her, he forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

The corners of her upturned eyes were glistening with moisture, whether from tears or sweat, it was hard to tell.

The small mole on his right cheekbone added to his broken appearance, making him look pitiful.

With no obstruction around her chin, Xu Wan could clearly see the entire process of the spiritual spring water working on the scar.

The dead flesh seemed to come back to life, constantly moving, searching for where it was meant to be.

Fox Jiu bit her lower lip and groaned, leaning her upper body back, but her tail held tightly around her waist.

He raised his hand to cover his face, "It's ugly, don't look at it last night..."

Xu Wan quickly grabbed his raised wrist, "Don't touch it, just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."

When he didn't respond, she noticed something was off about his gaze.

"Fox Lake, Fox Lake?"

Fox Jiu's gaze began to wander; he seemed to see again the female holding a stone spike, grinning maliciously as she slid it down toward his face.

"I'm going to tear your face apart!"

The female's sharp voice rang out, and he instinctively raised his hand to resist.

No, I will never let you hurt me again!

He gripped the female by the neck, a hint of madness flashing in his fiery red eyes.

"You want to kill me? Die!"

He tightened his grip, feeling immense pleasure as he watched the female about to die in his hands.

But when he felt a chill on the back of his hand, he paused.

As consciousness gradually returned, the female before him had changed.

His once fleshy face had shrunk to the size of a palm, and his icy blue eyes were looking at him with heartache.

"Fox Spirit...it's me..."

Looking down, his hand was gripping the little female's neck.

Realizing what he had done, he quickly withdrew his hand.

The little female's fair skin was stained with finger marks; a little more force and she would die.

"Wanwan..."

He looked at Zhuyou, wanting him to carry the person away.

Before he could speak, Xu Wan had already wrapped her arms around his neck.

"It's me, I'm here, Fox Spirit, it's alright..."

He used quite a bit of force just now; her voice was broken and noticeably hoarse.

Even so, she still chose to comfort him immediately.

My mind is a mess.

The female who left without looking back when he was a child, Xu Wan who said she would slash his face, and... Wanwan who is hugging him now.

"Wanwan..."

He leaned against her, feeling somewhat exhausted.

The fiery red tail wrapped around her waist, with the excess portion hooking around her legs.

The hair touched her skin and it itched a little, but she couldn't care less about that right now.

Intense pain can cause hallucinations, and she was now only glad that she had only applied it to his chin.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to speak before he strangled her to death.

But the situation isn't much better now; Hu Jiu is holding her tighter and tighter, clearly the effects of the spiritual spring water haven't worn off yet.

This can't go on. She raised her hand and wrapped it around Foxy's neck.

This body has too little spiritual power, so she can only mobilize the supernatural abilities within her body, just like last time.

Fox Jiu closed his eyes, forcibly enduring the stinging pain coming from his jaw.

But a gentle melody rang in his ears, like a river, and saved him from being burned to a crisp.

"Wanwan..."

"Yes, it's me."

After a brief response, she continued her attempt to comfort her.

After many days, Xu Wan once again felt as if her body had been hollowed out.

But the pain from the spiritual spring water persisted, so she gritted her teeth and increased the output of her supernatural power.

The light around her grew stronger and stronger, enveloping her and Fox Jiu.

Chen Shuang looked at the scene before her and felt like she had seen it somewhere before.

He froze in place, as if struck by a thought.

Isn't this the light that illuminated the sky when Yun Shu and Mira conducted their second test?

He had never seen it, but he had heard the elders in his clan talk about it many times.

Remembering the prophecy about saving the Canglan Continent, he looked at Xu Wan in the center of the light.

Could it be that the powerful mental strength tested back then was actually Wanwan's?

If that's the case, then why is her mental strength so weak right now?

And that prophecy is something that a modern female could never accomplish.

Chen Shuang felt her heart churning.

He didn't know where to begin his thought process, so he turned to look at Zhuyou.

The other person didn't seem too surprised.

He was taken aback. Did Zhu You already know?

Xu Wan was unaware of Chen Shuang's current brainstorming session; she only felt that she was reaching her limit.

The excessive output of mental energy and supernatural power caused her vision to go black in waves, as if she were back in the physical fitness test running.

My vision was blurry, and I could still taste the metallic tang of blood in my throat.

[System, do you have any medicine to quickly restore mental energy? If you don't help, your beloved host is going to die...]

Before she could finish speaking, the string in her mind snapped, and she fell backward.

"Wanwan!"

Someone caught her.

In a corner of the system space, something is shakily emerging.
