Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Enchanting Little Fox Monster vs. Justice-Obsessed Female Taoist (Part 10)
The little fluffy Little Fox fell asleep at some unknown time, lying softly at his feet. Yuan Xiu even noticed her smack her lips in apparent satisfaction.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
For some reason, upon seeing this Little Fox, he felt a sense of closeness in his heart.
Buddhism emphasizes the importance of fate, and he does not resist this feeling.
On the contrary, he’s willing to embrace this instinct and get close to this little creature.
He gently picked her up from the ground and placed her in his arms.
Faintly aware of her body being moved, Gu Shengyin drowsily opened her eyes, seeing him. She found the embrace genuinely comfortable and drifted back to sleep once again.
Yuan Xiu found her appearance both pitiful and adorable, yet he couldn’t help worrying: being this trusting of others, what if she encounters bad people in the future?
After much thought, he concluded that he could only put extra effort into looking out for her.
Such a silly little creature. He couldn’t resist tapping her gently on the head.
Gu Shengyin, somewhat annoyed, extended her paw and slapped the offending hand on her head, then continued her dream.
She slept soundly, straight into twilight.
When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by Yuan Xiu’s flawless handsome face. The sun hadn’t set yet, but its rays softened into a gentle orange on Yuan Xiu’s face, creating truly unparalleled beauty.
As a fox, faced with such allure, how could she resist?
Gu Shengyin boldly sat up and planted a kiss on Yuan Xiu’s face.
Yuan Xiu was momentarily speechless. He touched the spot on his cheek and glanced down at the Little Fox.
Seeing the unabashed pride in her eyes, his initial surprise vanished: she’s just a little benefactor; it seems she merely wants to assert her dominion over things she fancies.
Then, am I something she likes?
Considering this possibility, a hint of amusement flickered in his gaze.
Looking at the sky, he said to Gu Shengyin, “Little fox benefactor, it’s getting late. If you don’t go home soon, your family might worry.”
Gu Shengyin thought for a moment, realizing that indeed if Yun Shu couldn’t find her, she might cry.
She gently bit Yuan Xiu’s sleeve.
Yuan Xiu looked at her in confusion.
Feeling anxious, Gu Shengyin suddenly brightened upon spotting the paper and pen on the table.
She bit the tip of the brush and finally managed to scribble a word on the paper.
Yuan Xiu studied it for a while and finally recognized it was the word “road.”
“Are you saying, you’re lost?” he asked.
Gu Shengyin nodded.
Yuan Xiu pondered a moment: “If you’re lost in the temple, nod once, and I’ll lead you out. If you’ve forgotten the way home, nod twice.”
Gu Shengyin nodded once; she simply couldn’t distinguish the paths within the Lotus Platform Sect.
Upon hearing her say she could still find her way home, an inexplicable sense of loss surged in Yuan Xiu’s heart. Moments ago, he was considering that if this little creature had no home, having her stay by his side would be wonderful.
In the next moment, he was startled by his own selfish thoughts.
How could he harbor such thoughts?
“Amitabha,” he quickly pressed his hands together and recited a Buddha’s name, hoping the Buddha would forgive him.
