Chapter 2 The Demon Fox Rests

Thunderstorms come and go quickly......

I didn't have time to feel the changes in myself, so I immediately went to check on the old man sitting at the root of my tree......

His body is still rickety, his clothes are still ragged, but for some reason, after the thunderstorm, I seem to feel more and more powerful Buddha light in him, and that Buddha light seems to soothe my desolate body and mind after the thunderstorm, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although I have not appeared in my hundreds of millions of years of life, I have seen it - what is called "dead wood in spring", I used to think it was incredible, but now I clearly feel this process, but the difference is that my phenomenon is many times faster than that of dead wood in spring, my spiritual power, vitality, and body are quickly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, which makes me doubt my "tree life" for hundreds of millions of years......

As if by induction, the old man slowly raised his head and smiled at me, that smile warmed my heart, making me feel that all my efforts were worth it, but it was very strange that for the first time, I couldn't feel the soul and vitality in a person's body, why is this?! The old man - is he human?! I can't help but wonder, just one day of what I have seen and heard, constantly challenging my hundreds of millions of years of tree life.

The next day, the old man suddenly disappeared, leaving not a single word......

Suddenly coming, suddenly disappearing, if it weren't for the ravine on my body after the thunderstorm, I really thought that everything was my imagination out of thin air, because the old man really disappeared "out of thin air", is he really a person?! Why aren't there the most basic human qualities?! But if he is a demon, there is no reason why I, a eon-billion-year-old dryad, can't recognize him?!

……

"Hey, why do you say that you are doing this, for an irrelevant person, you have spent almost all your spiritual power!" When I was in a daze, my neighbor, the Ten Thousand Year Demon Fox, looked at my real body, and couldn't help shaking his head, his face full of pain.

"What if...... I said I didn't know why I wanted to save him, but I just felt in my heart that I had to save him, even if I sacrificed my own life—do you believe it?! I looked at Zi Xie weakly, and there was no focus in my eyes, because even I couldn't tell what kind of psychology it was.

I thought that Zi Xie would scold me for showing off my head, but I never thought that the angry scolding of the imaginary storm did not come, I raised my eyes and looked curiously, Zi Xie was thinking with a face, it is rare that this stinky fox who only knows coquettishness in my impression is so serious, seeing that he was stunned for a long time, I kindly asked: "What's wrong with you?!" ”

The fox hugged his chest with both paws very humanely, and caressed his chin with one paw: "I'm thinking, what kind of person will attract the punishment of heaven, so that your body for hundreds of millions of years has been almost half ruined, and you can only resist it...... You're a golden wood—the most resistant existence in the world, and I used to think that no one could shake you in the slightest! ”

The fox is really smart, even if he didn't experience the thrilling scene yesterday, just looking at my "miserable situation" can explain all the irrationalities in it, just like the problem he found at a glance, which is also where my doubts in the past two days lie.
