Xing Ruyi looked at the fox's eyes, and he didn't fall behind the occasional flash of loss in his eyes. She understood why he was lost, just as she understood why there was so much sadness in her heart.

At this moment, a sentence that she used to think was funny somehow came to her mind: "People are born of people, and demons are born of demons." ”

So, what will be born of humans and demons?

If it had been before, she would have laughed and said, "It's either a shemale or a demon, what else can there be?" ”

But now, she looked at the child next to the tiger sister, and she also had her own answer in her heart.

Most of the children born of humans and demons will only be mortals, at most they will be mortals with a trace of monster blood flowing in their bodies.

The children born to Master Yun and Bai Jiao are like this.

The child born to Tiger Sister and her husband is like this.

Even in myths and legends, the children born to the White Lady and Xu Xian are the same.

Therefore, Xing Ruyi felt that the child born to him and the fox would definitely not be able to escape this established arrangement.

So, she raised her hand, touched the fox's handsome face, and gently tugged the corners of her mouth again.

"In the past, I was stubborn that our children, both male and female, would necessarily be just like you. But it wasn't until I met Tiger Sister that I realized that the child of the original human and demon may be a demon, but it is more likely that he is an ordinary mortal with a short lifespan of just a few decades like me. I had hoped that if our child imitated you, at least he would be with you after I was gone. But if he were like a tiger cub, just an ordinary mortal like me, I would rather not have him. Because I don't want you to see me go through another life and death decades later. So, fox, will you fulfill my selfishness? Our children, only Yin Yuan is good. ”

The fox silently hugged Xing Ruyi, and did not say a word for a while.

He once told Ruyi that Tiger Sister and her children have lived to the era when Ruyi came, an era when more than a year later was still prosperous but things were wrong. He didn't lie to Ruyi, but he hid something from her.

The child of the tiger sister will never live for that long. Even if he started cultivating from this moment, if he didn't have the reincarnation of the eighth and ninth lifetimes, it would be difficult for him to achieve positive results. Yes, Tiger Sister only guards her children after each reincarnation.

Those eyes that were once alive became dry and discolored in the cycle of Tiger Sister's searching, gaining, losing, and searching again and again, until the Qingqiu riot, and Tiger Sister died tragically under the sword of the mob because she saved him. At that moment, what he saw in the tiger girl's eyes was not her reluctance, nor her resentment, but a long-lasting relief.

She said, "Brother Chen, I finally don't have to go to him anymore. ”

The tiger sister said that she was the child who had a lifetime of blood connection with her. Because she couldn't let go, she guarded him all his life and life; Because she was reluctant, she watched him reincarnate again and again; And because she was afraid that she wouldn't find him, she would use her magic to leave a mark on his body every time he left.

Before the Qingqiu riot, she found the child for the last time, but the child just looked at her with disgust and said, "There is only one mother, even if I was once your son, I am only the son of your life." Your attachment means nothing to me. Please leave, and don't bother me again, you crazy crazy woman! ”

Crazy woman, that was the last thing the child said to her.

Because of the thousand-year-old search, the tiger girl no longer has the heart to cultivate, and because of the thousand-year-old search, she has spent all her cultivation and become like a withered tree, just like the mothers-in-law you see picking up garbage on the street. But the child she has guarded for thousands of years, and the child who has worked so hard to protect her is so disgusted with her, and feels that everything she has done is meaningless.

She returned to Qingqiu with endless loss and regret, and used her nearly rotten body to help him stop the mob when he stabbed the poisonous sword at him.

In her most tragic way, the tiger girl let go of her endless obsession with the child, but she permanently engraved that scene in the fox's heart. Because of the tiger sister, the fox never dared to imagine his and Ruyi's child, and because of the tiger sister, when he saw her in the market who was pregnant in the cage and became a white tiger, he would temporarily abandon Ruyi to save her.

In fact, the fox is also selfish, and he wants to dispose of the tiger girl before he gives birth to the child. But Tiger Sister didn't want to. Even after listening to those descriptions, she insisted on giving birth to the child in her womb.

She said, "Brother Chen, you haven't been a father yet, so you won't understand." I think the reason why I have been obsessed with it for a thousand years must be because there are things I can't let go, and I finally chose to let go, and it must not be just because of disappointment and sadness. People will eventually die, and so will demons, just see if it's worth it. ”

The fox doesn't know if the tiger girl is worth it, but he understands that people have obsessions, and demons also have obsessions. Therefore, he respected Tiger Girl's choice and turned back to the market to find Ruyi to help her.

The fox admits that when he blurted out that he didn't want children, he was far from thinking so deeply. He just felt that the child was troublesome, and if he was born to Ruyi, he would definitely occupy most of the territory in Ruyi's heart. In his selfish heart, he didn't want to share his wishes with anyone, even if that person was his own child.

However, the fox didn't expect that his momentary words would lead to so many feelings in Ruyi's heart. He was a little distressed, but more just helpless.

Xing Ruyi sniffled, and couldn't bear to continue to immerse himself and the fox in this topic. She tugged at his sleeve and told him, "When I was buying medicine, I met a man on the street. An ordinary mortal man, about twenty-four or five years old, covered in blood. When it comes to the point, the smell of his blood is exactly the same as that of the tiger girl. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in the fox's eyes, "It's just a stranger." Leave him alone! ”

Before the words fell, the child who had been sleeping well next to the tiger sister actually cried "wow".

The fox and Xing Ruyi looked at the child in unison, but found that the tiger girl who should have been asleep also had her eyes open.

"Sister Tiger, are you awake? How does it feel? ”

"I woke up when the tiger slept next to me. I just saw my brother talking to my sister-in-law, and I couldn't bear to disturb it. What Brother Chen said and sister-in-law said, Sister Hu didn't mean to listen. Tiger Sister said, pausing: "The person my sister-in-law just said, how is he?" ”

"You mean the one in the cage?"

"Cage?" The tiger sister looked at Xing Ruyi suspiciously.

"Oh, I forgot to tell your brother. The man was kept in a huge iron cage. Listening to an onlooker, an eldest brother said that the people in the yamen seemed to treat him as a monster, saying that he ate his wife and children alive. ”

"He didn't!" The tiger girl couldn't hide her excitement and sat up: "He didn't eat me, let alone the child." Aren't Hu'er and I here for life? What will happen to him? Will it be killed? ”

Mortals pray for the protection of the gods, but they are afraid of the monsters who can also use magic.

Tiger Sister knows what will happen to a rumored monster that eats people if it is caught.

"I heard that eldest brother say that the people in the yamen don't plan to deal with him."

"That's good."

Tiger Sister said, relieved. When he looked up, he saw that Xing Ruyi looked like he wanted to say something, and the heart that had just fallen was raised again: "Sister-in-law, is she still hiding something from me?" If the people in the yamen were not disposed of, why was he locked up in that iron cage? ”

"If you already know it in your heart, why do you need to ask me? Those injuries on your body are also because he knows the identity of your tiger sister, so he is ruthless, right? The father-in-law who shares the same bed treats his wife like this, how do you think those onlookers should treat the monsters who eat people in their eyes? ”

"But those people have never seen him eat people."

The tiger sister defended, but this defense was also a little lacking.

"And has he ever seen you eat people?"

Xing Ruyi asked.

Tiger Sister shook her head.

"No!"

"Then has he seen you hurt people?"

Xing Ruyi asked again.

Tiger Girl still shook her head.

"No!"

"He has never seen you eat people, and he has never seen you harm people, why is he afraid of you, and he is willing to want to kill your mother and son with a knife when you are pregnant?"

"Because I told him that I was from Qingqiu, and I was transformed by a white tiger. The child in my womb, though he is like him, will be made into the likeness of the flesh, but when I give birth, I will be made into a prototype because of weakness. I told him in advance that I just wanted him to be mentally prepared so that he didn't have to be afraid. Also, there is no need to rush to ask for any stable woman, because it will definitely frighten the stable woman who delivered the baby. I told him that we could give birth to our child on my own. ”

"What about him? Not only was he not moved, but he was afraid to die, wasn't he? ”

Tiger Sister nodded, and then argued: "He, he's just an ordinary mortal!" It's normal for him to be scared. ”

"I'm mortal too!" Xing Ruyi whispered five words: "When I met your brother Chen, I, like your husband, were ordinary mortals who couldn't be more ordinary. And at that time, I was still timid, not to mention a monster, even a fierce dog could scare me into a detour. But I was so timid, when I saw the true identity of your brother, I was only a little stunned for a while, a little scared, and then happily accepted. ”

"I'm a Qingqiu nine-tailed fox!"

"What about the nine-tailed fox, isn't it still a fox family? At most, they just have a few more tails than others. Xing Ruyi snorted lightly and pointed at the fox: "I admit that I was mainly tempted by his beautiful face, so I relaxed my guard and accepted him easily and happily." But I have to admit that I like him, whether he is a human, a demon, a ghost, or a monster. Moreover, I trust him, and this trust is based on the knowledge of him, and I know that no matter what your brother is, he will not harm me. Tiger girl, you have been in the mortal world for so long, you should understand. Demons, sometimes it's easier than people, and there is only one reason why your father is afraid of you, and that is that he doesn't love you enough. In other words, his love for you is not enough to bear everything, including the way you are. ”

"So, I never blamed him!"

Although the tiger girl said this, tears still flowed involuntarily.
