The two-story wooden house is entwined with cobwebs and is almost deserted. I silently cleaned it as if the people in the house were still there.

Yun Jin and I lived in Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, and with the help of the Cangrong Sword, I gradually recovered, except for the occasional chest tightness, there was no effect. The days passed uneventfully, so uneventful that I had time to constantly recall everything that had happened in the past. Since returning to the Lush Forest, the figure of my mother has often appeared in my mind, and the bloody scenes have appeared in my dreams again and again, as if I saw my mother's soul entangled in pain, and there was no peace in the chaos. Fear after fear made me start to have to fulfill my vows again.

I started looking around again for the monsters, killing them, and eating their true elements. Sometimes I feel that this seems to be just a vicious circle, even if I haven't faded my true essence, but in essence, what is the difference between me and those demons? But my mother's sealed soul has always disturbed my heart, how can I let her continue to suffer in chaos without reincarnation?

I slowly discovered that only by wearing the Sword of Cangrong by my side could I suppress my demon poison, and once I left for too long, my chest began to ache again, so in addition to going out to kill monsters, I could only stay in Zhuoyun Xiaozhu most of the time.

"Yunjin, it would be nice if you could talk to me. ”

A person's life is too light, and there are always some troubles in his heart but no one to talk to. At first, I would say to Yun Jin that it would rely on me to "woo" and be coquettish to show comfort, but how can unilateral communication relieve my sorrows? Yun Jin seemed to know that he couldn't help me relieve my sorrows, and he lay down whimpering with grievances all the time. Even if I caught its favorite beast, it couldn't be happy, so I had to touch its back and comfort it, in fact, it had already helped me a lot.

Gradually, I found that Yunjin is by no means like an ordinary spirit animal, it seems to be able to sense my emotions, and even be able to accompany me to be sad, although it can't speak, but it also has people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Sometimes, in order to amuse me, he will make strange things out of plants and give them to me, just like a friend, caring about everything about me.

Although Yunjin can't speak, he can always understand what I say and understand what I mean. I suddenly felt very close to it, as if I had a lot to say to it, but I didn't know where to start. I had vaguely guessed that it must be inextricably linked to Aoki Taku, or that its previous owner was Aoki Taku, so it would suddenly quiet down when it touched my Holy Spirit Spring, and it should have recognized me as Aoki Taku. The little memories of Takumi Aoki buried in my heart also rippled from time to time, and when I calmed down, I suddenly wanted to know Taku Aoki's past, and wondered how she was related to me.

As a result, I slowly got used to the life in Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, and I also began to like this special stability. However, I have always had a thought in my heart, which is the owner of the wooden house. I cleaned every day, but every day was just a desolate room. The nearby orchards are also gradually overgrown with weeds, and even the buds have slowly died as winter turns to spring. I can't help but wonder, is it true that the owner of this house will not come back again? Or are all the memories of my own fantasy, so where did the demon poison in me come from? Or, like Xiaolu, he has also lost his memory, so I don't remember everything between me and him?

On this day I went to the hut again, and put in order the furnishings as usual, and in fact, who would move the things in a house where no one lived?

"It's amazing that you can survive until now after being poisoned!"

There was a bewitching voice outside the house, but it was very clear in my memory. The fox demon is her, who almost lost my life.

I didn't plan to go out to check it out, because the voice was coming from afar, and she didn't dare to appear in front of me. It's just that her sudden appearance really surprised me a little, and I didn't seem to have anything on me that she coveted.

"You still dare to come?"

"Why don't you dare to come, since I didn't kill you, and what happened last time was not my intention, of course I don't need to be afraid. ”

"Then why don't you just come to me?" I said coldly.

"Hmph......" she chuckled, still the same charming, "It's just that I'm too beautiful, so beautiful that all women will be jealous, I'm not afraid of your revenge, I'm afraid that you can't stand that I'm more beautiful than you." ”

Such an excuse sounds only comical.

"And what are you going to do?"

"How about we make a deal?"

Could this be the measurement of the fox demon?

"I might as well tell you, the last time I was forced to do it by that bad woman named You Ruojun. I'm not going to let her do that, though. She wants me to poison you, so I'm going to make a detour and let the man she cares about the most be with another woman. So, it's cheaper for you. Otherwise, how could I be willing to poison that man who is so good-looking? I'd rather enjoy it myself. ”

"You've really given me a great 'benefit'?"

"I know you're not stupid, no matter what, we're the same kind, so naturally we have to take care of each other. She smiled again, but in that smile, she couldn't hide a commotion.

"What the hell are you going to do with me?" I felt a little impatient.

"Okay, I won't go around the bend with you, I want you to help me deal with that bad woman You Ruojun. ”

"Deal with her?

"Because, she's a demon catcher. ”

"Demon Catcher?" I was surprised, but it seemed that it only validated some of my suspicions.

"Isn't she using demon water to deal with you?" The fox demon's voice began to be a little timid, naturally, when it comes to demon water, no demon will not be afraid.

Demon Water ...... Suddenly I had a strange turquoise liquid in my head, and that peculiar rancid smell. Yes, since You Ruojun has demon water, it is not surprising that she is a demon catcher. But my associations seem to be more than that. I was suddenly interested, because if I really found You Ruojun, I seemed to be able to find a lot of answers. For example, the source of the demon water, and for example, the mortal who has always been unforgettable to me-Meng Yunzhong......

"With your cultivation and spiritual power, the demon water shouldn't pose too much of a threat to you, right?"

There was a brief silence.

"But I'm still a little interested in your trade. Why don't you come out and talk to me in person?"

There was a brief silence, but the surroundings of the hut began to blur a little, as if the air around them was shaking, and then an ethereal figure gradually took shape.

First a soft curve, then an illusion with a rough outline, then a pair of eyes so deep that one can sink into them. While I was still carefully observing those eyes, the fox demon had already appeared in front of me, she was standing by the door of the wooden house with a bewitching twist, the corners of her pink mouth were slightly raised, but there was not a single wrinkle on her white and flawless skin, as if she was born with this charming expression. Some of her legs were still looming, and the poke of fluff on the top of her head looked unusually dazzling through the sunlight. She is indeed very beautiful, whether it is a man or a woman, it is inevitable that she will be moved by her appearance, what adjectives such as closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, sinking fish and geese, for her, can only be touched by the skin, as if there are no appropriate words to describe her beauty in this world. I'm afraid that even the gods will envy her perfect face.

It's just that she suddenly reminds me of a person, a person who also has extraordinary beauty and a bewitching figure. It's just that as soon as this person walked into my memories, I immediately gave birth to a lot of resentment and pain. This person is the soft wing that Nalan reminded me again, she won my favor with her beautiful appearance, won my sympathy with her weak body, and won my trust with her pitiful expression, and in the end, she gave me a heavy knife and forcefully reversed my fate in another direction. Seeing the charm of the fox demon, I suddenly felt in my heart that this kind of beauty and coquettishness were just disguises, which made me so unhappy. So, I checked my face and didn't want to linger on this beautiful face again. Could it be that trading is the usual trick of such women?

"Oh, why don't you look at it? others are fascinated by it!" she seemed to be a little surprised by my reaction. Indeed, no one who sees her will take their eyes off her for a while.

"Hmph. I snorted coldly, "I just want to be interested in your trades." ”

"If you kill You Ruojun for me, I will tell you a secret. ”

Listening to her words, I almost laughed out loud: "The terms of your deal don't seem so appealing to me." ”

"Really?" she twisted into the room, but the smile on her face never disappeared, "What if this secret has something to do with the man and you?"

I suppressed my smile and my heart pounded so fast that my heart was pounding. What secrets do he, and I, have?

The fox demon smiled softly again and continued: "That's it, I'll suffer a loss, and I'll tell you a secret." This one is about you and your mother. ”

My mother's secret?

I went from throbbing to horror. What kind of secret is she talking about, or maybe these things have never been associated with the word "secret" to me. I was confused for a moment, and I felt the urge to bring You Ruojun to her immediately, because I really wanted to know what secrets she knew.

"How?

She looked at me seductively, and I stared at her, but my heart was already surging, and a series of vague questions began to entangle.

Naturally, she saw my abnormality, and was able to guess my final decision, so, as soon as I came back to my senses from the chaos of my thoughts, her figure changed back to an illusion and disappeared in front of me, except for a distant voice from outside the house:

"You Ruojun lives in Mengjun Villa in the nearby town, and if you want to find me, go to the orchard next to the wooden house. ”

I settled down, only to feel a dull pain in my chest, and the demon poison began to attack again, and I realized that it had been a long time since I left Zhuoyun Xiaozhu.

"Yunjin, do you think I should do this? If this continues, will there be results? My mother once told me that demons can't be with mortals. Moreover, You Ruojun is a demon catcher after all, and I don't know how capable she is, will it be ...... to fight her rashly?"

When I returned to Xiaozhu, Yunjin rushed to my side excitedly, but I was not happy at all. The thought of the secret mentioned by the fox demon, and her bezeing smile, made me think intricately.

I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, but the two secrets that the fox demon said could not be forgotten. Yun Jin didn't know why I was bothered, so he could only hum mutteringly on the side, as if he was in a hurry. The crisp sound of flowing water around Zhuoyun Xiaozhu has become a heart-wrenching restlessness at this time.

That's it, with the current state of mind, I can't figure it out anyway, I stroked Yunjin, breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to go back to the house to rest with the sword of Cangrong.
