It wasn't until the Li siblings arrived in an ambulance to start the emergency rescue of Lin Zuzu that the special task force of District 14 belatedly dealt with the follow-up matters.

After saying that inexplicable sentence, the Grim Reaper disappeared, and this was the first time Lin Zuzu felt the abomination of the Riddler.

Breaking away from the unique space created by the spirit, the constant pain and dizziness from the analgesic pump continued to eat away at her will.

Lin Zuzu was covered with bandages all over his body, including his entire head, leaving only the place where his nose was left with a hose connected to the ventilator. She lay motionless on her back on the hospital bed, silently as if she had passed away, only the steady fold line on the ECG monitor at the bedside showed that she was temporarily alive.

The eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear, and the mouth cannot speak......

It was as if she was being locked up in a prison called the flesh.

Lin Zuzu's vaunted recovery ability failed.

It was as if all her strength had been exhausted, and after her body had recovered to the point where she could just live, whether in the rescue operation or in the postoperative coma, the healing ability that was unusual to ordinary people did not appear again, at least in a very slow and weak state, and her fighting spirit disappeared along with it.

To put it simply, Lin Zuzu became no different from ordinary people, and these were just because she suffered a thunderbolt.

For five days, she spent five whole days in this maddening darkness.

Despite the company, this loss of control over her body frightened her, because the vindictive spirit could not recover even the slightest.

She panicked.

If she can no longer pick up a knife to fight, the meaning of her life...... Is it gone again?

In order not to think about it, she kept recalling the despair when her mother was killed, the anger of being teased by Elise, the joy of regaining her life, and ...... Worries about Bai Jiu.

It wasn't until the seventh day that Lin Zuzu's five senses barely recovered, and then came the bad news that she didn't want to hear.

In the report of the 14th team, only one seriously injured Lin Zuzu and half of the charred shackles were found at the scene, so it was judged that the fox demon Bai Jiu was completely destroyed in the heavenly tribulation, and even the ashes were not left.

In addition, the space ring in Lin Zuzu's pocket was also destroyed in the disaster, as if to erase all the traces that Bai Jiu had existed.

In the hospital ward of Team 14, Yi Ting's evil shift asked Li Qin to rest, he had never seen such a weak girl.

"How could you be involved with an unregistered A-class fox demon?" How many months did you live together without telling the team?

Lin Zuzu didn't answer, she gently tilted her head to the side away from the man to show that she didn't want to say more.

"I'm not blaming you, it's just ......," Itin Xie explained.

"Master...... I think...... A ...... alone Stay for a while. Lin Zuzu spoke with difficulty, her voice hoarse and dry.

Ittingevil sighed, and as he walked out of the room, the girl's whimper came from behind him.

Somehow, he felt a little irritable, and an unknown feeling rose in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment, and walked quickly back to the bed.

"Lin Zuzu, we are all here, as long as you want, we will always be there." Itin Xie wondered how he could say such a thing.

"Okay."

The girl tilted her head deeper and answered indistinctly, tears soaking the gauze that covered her eyes.

***

In the midst of the abundant forests, there is a pool of spring water that reflects the blue eyes of the sky like the earth, and there are no fish in it, and a white bead sinks at the bottom of the pool. This is a treasure land with a particularly strong elemental aura, which is extremely suitable for those with spiritual abilities to cultivate here.

On a natural stone bench next to the spring, a beautiful woman is sleeping. She was dressed in an ancient purple dress of the Orient with graceful makeup of the same color, which made her feel majestic.

"Master, how long have I been asleep?"

A voice came from above the empty pool, and the woman's beautiful eyes opened slightly, revealing reddish-brown vertical pupils.

"It's not too long, it's only seven days." She spoke calmly, but the tone of the next sentence changed. "Although the body is destroyed, you kid can, you can really withstand the thunder."

A near-transparent figure distorted the air slightly, and if you carefully discern the outline, you will find that it is the real humanoid body of the fox demon Bai Jiu.

Under the last thunder, in the tragic pain, Bai Jiu somehow once again possessed the spiritual power to gather fox fire. So, he decisively abandoned his seriously injured body and tried his best to protect his demon pill, and before the special task force arrived, his master Zichan suddenly arrived to take him away and place him in this blessed land.

"Master, how did you come to the human realm in advance?"

According to the plan, Zichan should come to the human world to join Bai Jiu in eight years and help him survive the catastrophe as much as possible. If it fails, then bring the news back to the demon world.

"It's not because of Bai Heng's stupid ...... Your dad is hurt. At the mention of this name, Zichan was a little uneasy, but it was also in front of his son, so she changed her words.

Bai Jiu naturally knew his master's character, and asked, "What did the 'Hua' clan do?" ”

Zichan's expression was serious, indicating acquiescence.

The "Bai" clan has been able to serve as the patriarch of the fox clan for a long time, and has a certain right to speak when entering the Demon Clan Elders' Pavilion, all thanks to the secret technique "Fox Yin".

Of course, this was before Bai Heng shared the secret technique with the other clans in the clan.

I have to say that Bai Heng is really a great demon, he wants the fox clan to be strong, and he also wants the entire demon clan to be strong. But this selflessness is not only love and gratitude, but also the ambition of a wolf who is ready to move and plots against him.

The "Hua" clan led by Hua Guansheng was one of them, and after mastering the "Fox Yin", he joined other clans to strongly oppose Bai Heng's sharing of the secret art with other demon clans.

Bai Heng was unwilling to fight, but he still insisted on going his own way, and even let his only son go to the human world to avoid disasters and disasters.

Bai Jiu has never understood why after his mother's death, his father, who was obviously in pain, did not choose to go with his mother easily, but instead lived painfully with a heavy promise.

He remembered what the girl had said, and suddenly understood something, because it was his mother's wish—such a naïve but noble wish as "equality and harmony."

Therefore, giving up the ideal of protecting the mother with her life, leaving behind the son who is not yet in the climate and the clansmen who need to be protected, the pain caused by such selfish love is even more unbearable for the father, right?

"After you arrived in the human world, the "Hua" clan produced a genius known as a rare thousand-year-old genius, who made good use of fox fire, and had two tails in less than a hundred years of cultivation, and they used this to question your qualifications as the next patriarch, after all, ......" Zichan hesitated and did not continue.

"After all, the waste Bai Jiu is a soft egg who can only use illusions." The disembodied Bai Jiu chuckled lightly and naturally continued.

"But ......"

Bai Jiu's mind moved, and a blue-blue flame appeared out of thin air.

"What is this?" Zichan was stunned, she had seen fox fire of this color, when she was young.

"Well, another kind of heart fire spirit flame that was comprehended in the Heavenly Tribulation."

The white fox fire burns all entities, and the blue fox fire burns the spirits.

Not only that, but five fox tails loomed behind him.

In human game parlance - he jumped off.

"Ha, haha, the puppies of the "Flower" clan ......" Seeing this, Zichan couldn't control her expression for a while and laughed.

"By the way, Master, she ......," Bai Jiu asked hesitantly.

Zichan naturally knew who he was referring to, after all, in the ruins, it was impossible for her not to notice that there was a human who was seriously injured by the thunder.

"It is indeed a human being with courage, and he is willing to fight against the "heavens" for you." Zichan said, secretly glancing at Bai Jiu.

"Master, I'm ...... When are we going back? Bai Jiu looked left and right about him.

"Don't tell her you're alive? She was crying so sadly. ”

Ziyue spread out her palm to reveal a ball of light, which recorded the scene of the girl's death, rescue and waking up, which was what she asked the little demon nearby to do after Bai Jiu's condition stabilized.

The ball of light flew in front of Bai Jiu, and he stretched out his hand and hesitated for a long time, until the end, he didn't touch the scene that would shake him.

He didn't have the confidence that he would be able to leave without nostalgia after watching such a scene, not to mention that what he was going to do next was difficult and extremely dangerous, and he would really lose his life.

After all, I've already said it all over again.

So, let her just grieve for me this time.

But......

This is what I want most, but I can't be happier.

Bai Jiu felt some kind of pain permeate his spirit, making it impossible for him to continue to maintain this state.

"Master, I'll rest for a while."

Bai Jiu's consciousness retracted into the demon pill to cultivate, and he fell into a peaceful sleep under the interweaving of fatigue and pain.

Zichan withdrew the ball of light and decided to keep it for him for the time being. At this time, she noticed a strange object not far away, which seemed out of place in the natural scene.

Zichan gently waved her hand to put the object in front of her eyes, and carefully examined the half-burnt shackles.

This is a wonderful magic weapon. This is a container that can store a certain amount of spiritual power or fighting energy, which is very suitable for helping the demon clan survive the heavenly tribulation.

When the power is exhausted in the thunder bombardment, it can provide the demon clan with supplies like timely rain. The most important thing is that it can protect the demon pill, and it just so happens that Bai Jiu is good at illusion and other spiritual techniques, and can attach the complete consciousness of the primordial spirit to the demon pill.

The person who made this thing really had a heart, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed.

Zichan waved her hand again, and the shackles dissipated into powder and disappeared into the air.

***

In another property of the young rich man, Ye Cangyuan was reporting the latest information about Bai Jiu to Xuanye.

"Mr. Bai was rescued by his fellow clansmen and saved his life."

"Really?! It's really great! Genya excitedly tried to get up from the comfortable recliner, but failed because of his weak body, and there were still tears on his face.

"According to the speculation of the informant, Mr. Bai will return to the demon world to repair his body in the near future."

Xuanye's expression darkened, and he nodded and didn't speak again. The life span of the demon is so long, I'm afraid that we will never see each other again.

"In addition, there are more than a dozen interview ...... on the media side"

"All invitations were declined." Xuan Ye interrupted Ye Cangyuan's words, and then added, "Except for the insurance company." ”

The collection that Xuanya is proud of cannot be said to have suffered heavy losses, but can only be said to have been destroyed in one fell swoop.

But he took precautions and insured each precious piece of his collection.

Perhaps, after the mansion and collectibles destroyed by the thunderstorm, Xuanye's worth will multiply several times again.

Of course, provided that the insurance company does not go bankrupt.

"After all, it's a shemale...... "Xuanye sighed and leaned back into his chair.

"As far as I know, the demon clan has a secret technique that can transform humans into demons, so as to obtain an extremely long lifespan."

"How could I not know?" Xuanye seemed to say to himself, "Grandpa just gave up this opportunity back then, not to mention ......" himself is not the object of the teacher's use of this precious opportunity.

That's it......

After being silent for a long time, Xuanye suddenly spoke: "Ye Cangyuan, you can also go." ”

"Yes."

Ye Cangyuan bowed slightly to Xuanye, after more than two years of living as a deacon, he naturally knew the meaning of his master's words.

"Wait, do one last thing for me before you go."

After explaining everything, Xuanye took a sip of red wine and recalled the scene before the girl's arrival-

"You don't want your shallow game to be punctured too quickly, do you?" Genya showed a grim and sarcastic look.

However, Bai Jiu saw through Xuanye's disguise at a glance, how could he not know that he, a student, would not lie since he was a child.

"Xuanye, do you love me?"

"I ......" Xuan Ye blushed and hesitated, and then said with determination: "Yes, teacher, I ...... Love you. This is the first time he has not used an honorific title.

"Then try not to let her take my heart." Bai Jiu said with a chuckle.

Just, does the teacher really love that girl?

He was skeptical, though she was really special.

If you really love her, will you do these dangerous things to make her frightened and put yourself in danger?

He wanted to figure out the answer, so he improvised a play with Bai Jiu, although he acted as a vicious villain.

The answer is obvious.

So, what about myself?

In fact, this is not the first time that Genya has seen Bai Jiu in so many years.

He knew that the teacher would occasionally go to the front of the curtain to worship on the day of his grandfather's death, so he would always hide from a distance and take a look, and he would be satisfied.

But when did things change?

Xuanye unconsciously rubbed the ring, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the touch of his hand.

It was a delicately carved epiphany ring, but now the main body is broken for some reason, and the ring has burnt marks.

By the way, it seems that it wasn't long after I got this ring? The seller said that it was made from the bones of a certain god, saying that it would bless the owner to discover the true desires in his heart. It sounded interesting at the time, so I bought it casually.

For Bai Jiu's Heavenly Tribulation, he spent a lot of money to find famous craftsmen and forgers at home and abroad to jointly create an exquisite magic weapon. Of course, in terms of styling, he made some requirements.

So, my shackles called "love" can be regarded as helpful, right?

Waiting, remembering, giving, loving...... I've done everything I could.

Next, whether it's letting go or saying goodbye, the story with the teacher is finally coming to an end.

I don't know if my so-called love is because of the free teacher, or because of his longing for freedom......

After all, isn't the expectation that grandpa poured into himself a kind of bondage in the name of love?

So, I'll take a look around.

Not for teachers, not for business, only ...... For yourself.

Wish...... It's going to be a free and worthwhile journey. Xuanye smiled with relief and drank all the wine in the cup.

***

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the moonlight is shining.

"You can't cry anymore, it will affect the recovery of the wound."

The nurse told the girl to change the gauze for the third time today.

"I'm sorry......," Lin Zuzu said softly. Her eyes were open, but she could only feel the faint light in front of her. "Is it already night?"

"That's right, it's almost twelve o'clock, let's rest early." The nurse fixed the gauze, checked the ECG monitor, and left.

Although Lin Zuzu couldn't see it, she could imagine the gentle and bright moonlight, because it was under such a clear light-

Bai Jiu squeezed into the online taxi to follow her home, officially breaking into her life.

Bai Jiu used a warm illusion to fulfill Wutong's wish.

Bai Jiu treated her wound and asked her "Does it hurt"?

Bai Jiu smiled lightly, comforting himself in pain.

……

Still, it's time to say goodbye.

Lin Zuzu had thought about parting with Bai Jiu more than once, after all, he was so free and casual, she just didn't expect to contribute to such an ending in such a way.

……

Oops, it's time to change gauze again.

Bai Jiu would do such a stupid thing is actually a foreshadowing, as is the sudden and somewhat disobedient emotions of other characters (in short, it is not Abbe who forcibly pulls the progress). Bai Jiu's distortion and paranoia about "love" also comes from the story that happened to his father.

From beginning to end, Xiaobai was a very important existence to Zuzu, and when she found out the truth hidden by Team 11 and fell into darkness, only he reached out and grabbed her. So whatever his purpose, that's what has happened - he gently pampers the broken maiden.

It's just that no one will always accompany anyone, and his exit will also allow Zuzu to continue to grow and move forward.

Of course, Bai Jiu can continue to stay in the human world, fight against the Iting evil, and turn this drama into an ordinary love triangle with the posture of a bitter male second, which Abbe doesn't want to see.

Bai Jiu has more important things to do as the young patriarch of the fox clan, although his main story may appear in the form of extras. Of course, he will continue to appear in the story of Zuzu. Because in the face of disaster, the fates of the two worlds will always be intertwined.

So, that's all for the "Farewell Chapter"~ Please look forward to the next chapter~ Thank you~
