Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 23

Xie Xi was too cold to hear what Nine Tails was saying. This temperature was truly something that a flower couldn't withstand.

Fortunately, Nine Tails lifted him up and transmitted a steady stream of heat to him, easing the stiffness of Xie Xi's body.

Xie Xi finally wasn't cold but he still had no strength. He couldn't change back to human form.

Nine Tails whispered to him. "Are you feeling better?"

Xie Xi, "…" Sorry, roses couldn't speak!

Nine Tails didn't want him to respond. He just carefully controlled the heat so that he wouldn't burn the little rose.

In fact, Nine Tails found it difficult to generate heat. His cultivation was in the yin (cold) direction. If he wanted to generate heat, he had to reverse these exercises. This wasn't easy and was breaking off his own veins.

A few days ago, Nine Tails never imagined that he would do this for a small flower. He didn't care about offending his brother Houqing and didn't hesitate to warm up the flower.

As long as he brought the flower back to the palace, someone else would take care of him. However, Nine Tails couldn't bear to see the small rose uncomfortable for even half a minute.

Why? They just met. Why did Nine Tails care so much? It was like he was stunned and lost his sanity.

Xie Xi wilted in Nine Tails palm and didn't bother acting. This powerless appearance wasn't much different from how he felt.

Nine Tails took him back to the palace and found someone to bring him the Warm Pill.

The foxes sent over a jar that contained a lot of Warm Pills. Nine Tails unexpectedly poured them all out and piled them around the rose like a quilt.

Xie Xi, "…"

The fox, "!" How wasteful! This was their thrifty Ancestor Nine Tails!

Nine Tails asked Xie Xi, "Are you still cold?"

Xie Xi moved his lower petals in a way that meant: Take away the Warm Pill. I feel uncomfortable.

Nine Tails smiled and relaxed. "It's fine as long as you aren't cold."

Xie Xi, "…" A flower was really unable to communicate with the fox!

After turning into a flower, Xie Xi didn't have much concept of time. He always felt it was a moment when a day had actually pa.s.sed. This was a lack of energy caused by physical weakness and it entered Nine Tails' eyes.

The small rose had shut himself off. Nine Tails might've saved the flower but the flower didn't want to face reality.

In the past few days, Nine Tails found countless doctors to check on Xie Xi. The doctors told him, "The flower doesn't have any problem with his body."

Nine Tails asked, "Then why isn't he changing back?"

The doctor sighed, "It is he who doesn't want to change."

Xie Xi heard this sentence and really wanted to spit out: Quack! He wanted to transform but he had no strength!

Nine Tails felt melancholy and sighed with relief  Then he picked up his spirits and carefully accompanied Xie Xi.

Xie Xi felt this was useful and liked Nine Tails' intimate care. Of course, Jiang Xie always treated him well but that guy was essentially a naughty monster. It took him only three seconds to lose his seriousness. He was never as careful as Nine Tails.

Xiao Xie thought that the souls were really cuter than the body.

Seven or eight days pa.s.sed and Nine Tails brought a bunch of jade bottles. He eagerly said, "It took some effort but I've obtained them. It is your favourite drink."

Xie Xi, "…" Should he pretend to be touched?

How could a flower show such complex emotions? It was too difficult!

This jade dew was estimated to not be a simple ingredient. Once a few drops fell on Xie Xi's petals, he felt the strength of his body doubling and he changed back to a human body.

Nine Tails' eyes were bright and his voice was slightly nervous. "Do you want to drink some more?"

Xie Xi was touched by this scene. After all, it was all personal. He looked at the jade bottles and frowned lightly, his face pale. "I don't want to drink."

Nine Tails was surprised for a moment. Xie Xi turned away, not having the strength to even look at the bottles.

Nine Tails' heart was bitter as he persuaded Xie Xi, "These are very good for your body. You…"

Xie Xi shook his head and didn't say anything. Nine Tails ruthlessly asked, "Are you no longer concerned about the world after leaving Houqing?"

Xie Xi's lips trembled as he heard this name and his eyes darted around, highlighting his desire to escape.

Nine Tails held down his shoulder and stared at him. "He used you as a subst.i.tute for other people. He isn't looking at you. Do you want to give up your life for such a person?"

These sentences brutally opened the rose's festering scars. It was cruel but it was also a type of detoxification.

Sometimes things that weren't said were only evaded. After escaping, there would be an even more explosive outburst after a long time pa.s.sed. It might be very painful now but it was better than breaking to pieces later!

Xie Xi shook his head, face still pale. "Shut up, don't say it…"

Nine Tails stared at him. "If you want to live a lifetime being deceived, I can send you back."

Xie Xi suddenly looked up. "No, I don't want to go back!"

Nine Tails looked distressed. "Forget him. He doesn't deserve your love."

Xie Xi subst.i.tuted himself into the scene and the emotions quickly fell in place. "It would be nice if he doesn't deserve it. How good would it be…"

Yes, being worthwhile or not had never been used to measure liking a person.

Who wanted to love someone who didn't love them back? Who wanted their hearts to tilt towards a destined tragedy? Who wanted to entrust their most pa.s.sionate feelings towards someone who wasn't worth it?

If this type of emotion could be controlled by reason, how could there be so many infatuated men and women in the world?

Nine Tails heard him say this and his heart was poked like a hornet's nest. Yes, if the rose didn't like Houqing then he wouldn't be haunted by this.

What if he had been deceived by Houqing for the rest of his life? A small rose's life was short. Wasn't it good to have a happy life? Why did Nine Tails want to wake him up? He also wasn't willing to wake up.

Intellectually, he knew what was best but emotionally it was different. Nine Tails did things for such grandiose reasons but it was still for the sake of his own desires. Finally, there was only an endless abyss that they couldn't escape from.

The two of them didn't speak again. They were so close but so far apart as they had their own thoughts.

Xie Xi could basically guess the direction of this drama. He couldn't bear to see Nine Tails sad and pushed the 'plot' forward.

"Lord Nine Tails…" Xie Xi whispered.

Nine Tails looked over, silver eyes reflecting all of Xie Xi. "Say it. As long as it is within my power, I will help you." Even if he wanted to be sent back to Houqing to continue sleeping in the fantasy…

Xie Xi whispered, "I heard you have a spell that can make people forget everything."

Nine Tails was stunned.

Xie Xi continued. "Can you help me?"

His words filled with despair and helplessness caused Nine Tails' fox heart to explode.

"Yes." He endured the bitterness rising in his throat. "I can help you."

Xie Xi smiled, eyes covered with a thin mist. "Thank you."

"There is no need for thanks."

This was the origin of the bewitchment. Houqing mentioning that Xie Xi was enchanted by Nine Tails should be because of this.

Of course, Xie Xi didn't know if he took the initiative to ask or if Nine Tails couldn't stand it anymore in the original setting of the souls.

In any case, this wasn't important. Xie Xi forgot Houqing and fell in love with Nine Tails.

Nine Tails' enchantment definitely wouldn't work on the present Xie Xi. In theory, he wasn't part of the painting and wouldn't be affected by the spells here.

Still, it was easy for him to adjust his mood. After all, whether it was Houqing or Nine Tails, they were all Jiang Xie and made him feel distressed.

"You woke up." Xie Xi forgot Houqing and saw Nine Tails smiling softly.

Nine Tails asked, "Little Rose, coming all the way to Nine Tailed Fox Palace, what do you want to do?"

Xie Xi froze.

Nine Tails smiled. "Are you lost and can't find your way home?"

Xie Xi inwardly called him shameless but a faint blush rose on his face. Thus, XIe Xi fell in love with Nine Tails.

Sadly, Houqing treated Xie Xi as a subst.i.tute and now Nine Tails had become Houqing's subst.i.tute.

When NIne Tails used the enchantment, he s.h.i.+fted Xie Xi's feelings and thoughts about Houqing to himself.

This was tantamount to a quenching thirst for him but also gave relief to Xie Xi.

The enchantment caused a loss of memory but once Xie Xi saw Houqing, he would instantly remember everything. His despair would double and it would be harder to face everything.

It wasn't the same when the emotions were transferred. Even if Xie Xi saw Houqing again, he wouldn't think anything. It was because he didn't forget but changed the person he liked.

This type of enchantment couldn't be broken by anyone unless Nine Tails was seriously injured.

Nine Tails didn't want Xie Xi to live in the dream of being deceived by Houqing. He chose to deceive himself and was incredibly sober about what he was facing.

Xie Xi's love, dependence and attachment to him was under the premise of treating him as post-Houqing.

How ironic. The so-called rational person was vulnerable in the face of such feelings.

Xie Xi and Nine Tails pa.s.sed a period of time where honey was mixed with oil but this didn't last long. Houqing had found them.

Houqing arrived and saw Xie Xi and NIne Tails kissing under a cold plum tree.

The silver-haired man was holding the waist of the rose while the rose's arms were wrapped around his neck as a kiss was accepted. His eyes were full of intimacy and love, as if it was enough if there was only this person in the world of ice and snow.

Houqing shouted, "Nine Tails!"

Nine Tails s.h.i.+fted and protected Xie Xi in his arms. "How dare you have to nerve to come looking for him?"

"You framed me!"

Nine Tails' expression was blank. "What could I do if you weren't guilty?"

Houqing's veins bulged with rage. "Let him go."

Nine Tails said, "I like him and only him alone. It isn't comparable to…"

He didn't finish his words because Houqing couldn't bear it anymore and attacked.

Nine Tails moved Xie Xi to the side and moved, the two brothers shattering the ground with their fight.

Xie Xi could see it clearly and vaguely felt that Nine Tails was weaker. After all, their styles were different and the direction wasn't the same.

Nine Tails' enchantment was the root of his invincibility but the spell had a drawback. Using it would release the last cast. In other words, if he used an enchantment on Houqing, he would increase his chances of winning but the one on Xie Xi would be released.

Thus, he would never use it.

Houqing was full of hatred and his start was extremely heavy. He completely disregarded life and death. Nine Tails was pushed back and eventually smashed by Houqing who found a flaw.

Nine Tails flew back more than 10 metres and blood flowed from his mouth.

Houqing didn't intend to let him go, quickly moving forward and grabbing the fox's neck. "Remove the enchantment." Nine Tails' face was white but he sneered, "So what if it is released? He knows everything."

"Release it!"

Nine Tails chuckled. "No."

Houqing struck him in the belly. "As long as you are seriously injured, the enchantment will be naturally released."

They were brothers and knew each other very well. Houqing was also clear about the flaw in Nine Tails' spell. His so-called previous sentences were just the last feelings between brothers. Since Nine Tails was so stubborn, he would no longer have scruples.

How could Xie Xi see this and not understand? If this continued, Nine Tails would be beaten to death by Houqing. Killing yourself over this type of thing, Jiang Xie was probably the first!

After seeing that Houqing was about to strike again, Xie Xi rushed forward and stood in front of Nine Tails, taking the hit instead.

Time suddenly seemed to freeze and the sky and earth turned upside down as Houqing and Nine Tails let out a heartbreaking scream. "White 99!"

Xie Xi, "…"

This f.u.c.king hit, it hurt!

Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 24

Xie Xi fell into Nine Tails' arms but it was Houqing who coughed up blood.

The moment Xie Xi rushed up, Houqing forcibly stopped and suffered a counterattack, causing double of Nine Tails' injuries to fall on his own body.

If he hadn't done this, the rose would've long died. Even so, Xie Xi was falling apart and was half-dead.

The difference in strength was too big. The little aftermath alone quickly turned the fragile rose into a dead flower.

Nine Tails panicked. He trembled uncontrollably as he held Xie Xi's hand. "How are you, 99…"

Xie Xi was still able to speak. "It's great that you're okay."

Houqing's body shook when he heard these words. The sharp colours of his eyes were amazing, showing his obvious emotional fluctuations.

Nine Tails' heart was stabbed. "You… aren't afraid of death. Thanks to the enchantment, he was post-Houqing in Xie Xi's eyes. How much did Xie Xi love Houqing that he was willing to die without fear?

Houqing staggered forward in order to say something to Xie Xi. Xie Xi grasped Nine Tails' clothes, eyes full of wariness. Houqing stood still, his bleakness blending in with the world of ice and snow.

Nine Tails held Xie Xi and whispered, "it's fine, don't worry."

He picked up the little rose and walked towards Houqing. He was staggering past when Houqing stated, "…Give him to me."

Nine Tails' hoa.r.s.e voice was no better than Houqing. "What qualifications do you have?"

Houqing grabbed Nine Tails' arm, his hand red with rage as he sounded like a dying lion, "Take him…"

Before he could finish, Xie Xi spoke weakly, "Ancestor Houqing… please let us go?"

The words completely swept away all of Houqing's strength. He stared at Xie Xi with blood eyes. "Let you… you told me to let you go…"

Xie Xi closed his eyes in a tired manner. He was still holding onto Nine Tails' clothes, clinging to him tightly like he was afraid Nine Tails would disappear.

Nine Tails realized what it meant to self-inflict a wound. He was obviously holding Xie Xi but his ident.i.ty was replaced. He was post-Houqing and Houqing was him. Well, his ident.i.ty wasn't actually replaced.

Xie Xi only deeply loved Houqing. Nine Tails was the one with nothing. Nine Tails lost his soul as he left with Xie Xi.

Houqing stayed in place, staring after them in a stunned manner as his thin lips moved. "Xie Xi…"

Nine Tails heard this name and his back stiffened. He absolutely couldn't hand over the little rose to Houqing. That man's heart only had the dead flower G.o.d!

Xie Xi heard it too and froze…

He guessed that Houqing's white moonlight might be the flower G.o.d but… well… wasn't he the flower G.o.d in this setting? He became his own subst.i.tute… he must've been infected by Jiang Xie!

By the time Nine Tails took Xie Xi back to the palace, Xie Xi had pa.s.sed out. It was a miracle that he could still breathe with such a heavy injury.

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping. Once Xie Xi woke up again, he heard the conversation outside.

The red fox who was Nine Tails' personal attendant cried out, "Your Excellency, this is absolutely impossible!"

Nine Tails didn't say anything.

A green fox doctor added, "You only have two tails remaining. If you tear one of them off on your own…"

Nine Tails opened his mouth. "It isn't a real tail. I can restore it later after cultivating."

The red fox protested, "You are a pure-blooded nine-tails, how can…"

He seemed to be glared at and the red fox shut up.

The fox family did have such a practice. Ordinary foxes devoted themselves to cultivation. The higher their cultivation, the more tails they had. However, looking at all of Demon Sea, there was never a fox who had cultivated to nine tails.

Their Ancestor Nine Tails was unique in the world. He was born with nine tails and didn't obtain them through cultivation!

Xie Xi wasn't surprised when hearing this.

Before entering the painting, he knew that Nine Tails had sacrificed his eighth tail to save Xie Xi's life. Now he knew the original story.

Another fox said, "If you cut off the eighth tail, I'm afraid the enchantment…"

Nine Tails' enchantment would be released if he was seriously injured. Losing his eighth tail, wasn't this a serious injury? It was having only one breath left!

Nine Tails replied, "It doesn't matter anymore. He will live and live well."

Xie Xi felt distressed and helplessly. Fortunately, Jiang Xie never experienced this in reality. Xie Xi wasn't weak enough for Jiang Xie to give up his life to save Xie Xi.

He would work harder to understand Jiang Xie and make real connections on the basis of mutual affection.

The next time Xie Xi woke up, he opened his eyes to see Nine Tails.

Nine Tails didn't look strange apart from being slightly pale. His silver eyes were gentle as he softly asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Xie Xi felt that his body was a bit heavy but it shouldn't be anything serious. "I'm much better."

Nine Tails kissed him on the forehead. "Don't do this in the future."

"I don't care. If Lord Houqing died, I will also…" He didn't finish talking and stopped.

Nine Tails clearly heard it and the blood in his face disappeared without a trace. Xie Xi was startled. He clearly wanted to say Nine Tails but it ended up as Houqing. Nine Tails' injury was too heavy and he was barely holding onto the enchantment.

Nine Tails acted like he didn't hear and changed the topic. "You are too badly injured and your meridians were almost completely broken. You have basically recovered but the strength of the medicine means your body might reject it. It will take time to merge."

Xie Xi frowned.

Nine Tails couldn't stay and reluctantly smiled. "You rest. Call me if you need anything."

Xie Xi avoided mentioning a name again and asked, "Your Excellency, how did you cure me?"

Nine Tail's body stiffened. "I have many treasures here that managed to cure a small rose."

He didn't say it and Xie Xi couldn't bear to ask. Xie Xi knew how much Jiang Xie loved saving face.

From that day onwards, Xie Xi didn't see Nine Tails when he was awake. Nine Tails hid from him in the daytime and only guarded his side at night.

Xie Xi knew he was there but couldn't open his eyes. He wanted to say words to comfort Nine Tails but didn't dare open his mouth, afraid his words would make Nine Tails sadder.

After seven or eight days, Xie Xi suddenly felt a pain in his chest. This was followed by a numbness in his lower body and he lost consciousness.

He heard someone come in and Nine Tails asked hoa.r.s.ely, "What the h.e.l.l is going on? Didn't you say that the rejection period has pa.s.sed?"

The green fox replied nervously, "He is a stranger after all. Your Excellency, your strength is too strong and he can't adapt so quickly."

"Is there any way for him to adapt?"

After a series of exchanges, a black fox suggested, "You should send him back to Rose Mountain. Rose Mountain is his birthplace and the soil elements there are h.o.m.ologous to him. It will definitely help his origin adapt to your strength."

Nine Tails was stunned.

The green fox added, "Your Excellency, you absolutely can't go to Rose Mountain. Your current body…"

At this point, Xie Xi was basically clear about what happened.

The white rose and Houqing fell in love. The rose found out that he was a subst.i.tute and fled Houqing before Nine Tails found him in the ice and snow.

Nine Tails used the enchantment on him to let him forget Houqing and the white rose fell in love with him.

Later, this was discovered by Houqing and the two men had a big fight. In order to save Nine Tails, the white rose almost died.

Nine Tails sacrificed his eighth tail to save the white rose, becoming extremely weak. However, the strength of the holy beast was too strong and the body of the white rose couldn't stand it. There was a rejection and Nine Tails had to send him back to Rose Mountain.

There was probably no rejection after returning to Rose Mountain but Nine Tails couldn't stay by his side.

The gradual decline of the Enchantment led to the white rose remembering Houqing. He left Rose Mountain to attend the Hundred Flowers event, suffering from the rejection of Nine Tails' strength again, was seriously injured and then rescued by Azure Dragon…

In order to save him, Azure Dragon used a medicine and the side effect gave him amnesia. Thus, the white rose forgot the past and went to the Holy Mountain.

This script… there were no problems. Xie Xi felt that the souls didn't have it easy. They also had to work hard to rationalize Xie Xi's slag behaviour.

What should Xie Xi do now? Just leave the G.o.d's wisdom? At this time, a prompt appeared in Xie Xi's lower right corner.

[The first puppet is completed and is ready to be used.]

The puppet was ready! Xie Xi and the other roses had to be thankful! Then… he soon became aware of a problem.

He was in a painting. Why did the system still give him the prompt? Could this puppet still be used in the painting?

Xie Xi hesitated for a moment and didn't use it for the time being.

There should still be another arc in the memory of the G.o.d's wisdom, which was when Nine Tails came to Rose Mountain to find Xie Xi.

After all, the point of time that matched with reality had almost arrived.

Xie Xi didn't use the Puppet Technique because he was afraid that Nine Tails would suddenly appear and see two Xie Xis, raising his suspicions.

According to the previous line of thought, he should now go out for a stroll and meet the small silver fox among the fireflies. However, Xie Xi didn't go. He didn't follow the direction of the G.o.d's wisdom and found himself a place to hide.

He didn't want to leave the G.o.d's wisdom because he hadn't found a name for Nine Tails yet.

In the G.o.d's wisdom of Azure Dragon, Xie Xi had no experience and was only afraid he would be trapped inside. He followed every scene and was finally bounced out.

If he didn't follow it step by step this time, could he make some changes? What would happen?

Xie Xi hid in an empty house, locked the door, closed the window and used the Puppet Technique.

A person who looked exactly the same as him appeared in front of him. This was much more bizarre than looking in the mirror. After all, it was three-dimensional.

Xie Xi poked the puppet and the puppet was motionless. It didn't even blink. That's it? What was the use?

At this time, he found a prompt in the lower right corner.

[A low-level puppet can only perform simple commands and communicate with less than three words.

It is an independently re-shaped puppet and your body won't be damaged after its death.

If the original body suffers an injury, the puppet can act as a subst.i.tute (ignores distance but must be in the same quasi-world).]

Xie Xi saw the prompt and felt very disgusted.

Less than three words, was there a need for any command? Just order it to go and sleep! Siri was much better than it!

Then he saw the second part and didn't react much. If his puppet died and his body was actually damaged, this privilege would be too bad!

It wasn't until he saw that third part that Xie Xi remembered he seemed to be the emperor of luck.

He didn't know if it was his illusion but he always felt that after being together with Jiang Xie, his luck had run away towards the abyss and hadn't come back.

The puppet could be used as a subst.i.tute. This was much more powerful.

He might have Roast Pork Bun which allowed him to be painlessly immune to three fatal injuries but he had no way with ordinary injuries. Like before when Houqing had hit him. If there had been the puppet, Xie Xi wouldn't have needed to grit his teeth in pain.

Xie Xi left the puppet in this room and ordered it to be on standby.

This G.o.d's wisdom belonged to Nine Tails and there was no need to coax other souls for the moment. Thus, the puppet's greatest use was bearing injuries.

Xie Xi wasn't sure if there would be any danger but he didn't need to worry with a talisman.

As he left, Xie Xi started to make the next puppet.

To his surprise, the second puppet was much faster than the first one. Perhaps it was faster because there was a mould? Of course, this speed still required a few days of hard work.

Xie Xi wasn't in a hurry since he needed to find a way to discover Nine Tails' name.

According to the progress of the G.o.d's wisdom, Nine Tails finding him on Rose Mountain would force him out. If he didn't want to go out, he had to change the 'past.'

Xie Xi decided to take the initiative and go to Demon Sea to find Nine Tails!

At this time, Nine Tails hadn't sent the betrothal gift yet. Going to the Demon Sea wasn't easy but Xie Xi wasn't afraid to delay time in the G.o.d's wisdom and walked on foot.

After walking for three days, he experienced the rejection and his whole lower body was stiff with pain.

Fortunately, there was the puppet. Xie Xi directly transferred the damage and stiffly continued.

He used Roast Pork Bun to explore the way and tenaciously walked for 20 days before arriving in the Demon Sea.

He arrived at the Demon Sea but was still far away from Nine Tailed Fox Palace. Fortunately, Xie Xi wasn't in a hurry. Presumably, Nine Tails was looking everywhere for him.

Sure enough, he was discovered by the fox family as soon as he stepped into the Demon Sea.

"Oh my G.o.d," a green fox exclaimed. "Did you come from Rose Mountain?"

Xie Xi had long s.h.i.+fted the damage but he still pretended to be in pain. "Can I see Lord Nine Tails?"

The green fox replied, "Lord Nine Tails sent you back to Rose Mountain to let you heal. You…"

He didn't finish when Nine Tails appeared. He held Xie Xi in his arms and gasped out in distress, "Why did you do something so nonsensical?"

The 'weak and powerless' Xie Xi leaned in his arms and whispered, "I wanted to see you."

Nine Tails, "!"

The green fox hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, let's go back to Nine Tailed Fox Palace. You can't stay here for a long time."

They headed back. Then Nine Tails' voice was hoa.r.s.e as he spoke to Xie Xi. "You should've remembered it."

He was getting weaker these days and the enchantment was releasing. The little rose should've remembered the past.

Xie Xi paused before nodded lightly. Nine Tails stiffened and barely smiled. "Then you came to the Demon Sea to find Houqing?"

Xie Xi shook his head. "No, I came to see you."

Nine Tails avoided his gaze. "Do you need my help? Just say it and if it within my power, I will definitely help you." Even if it was helping him return to Houqing.

Xie Xi told him, "Of course you can do it. Only you can do it in this world."

Nine Tails' eyes lowered. "Do you want me to use the enchantment on Houqing? In fact, as long as you return, he will definitely…"

What was this fox thinking? Xie Xi was here to feed him sugar. Who would think that this guy would shove a.r.s.enic into his mouth first?

"I don't want to go back to Houqing." Xie Xi directly cut off his thoughts.

Nine Tails froze.

Xie Xi glanced at him and told him seriously, "I have remembered it and won't confuse you with Lord Houqing. You are you and Lord Houqing is Lord Houqing. I just want to be with you."

Nine Tails stared at him with disbelief.

Xie Xi knew this wasn't the direction of the G.o.d's wisdom. It was a very different ending but he was going to try it! Who said that the finished ending must be the real ending?

Xie Xi said, "Lord Nine Tails, I want to be with you. It might only be two or three hundred years but it is my life!"

Nine Tails' thin lips trembled. It seemed that he had many words in his mouth but in the end, he only said, "Don't lie to me."

Xie Xi didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence.

Don't lie to me.

Don't lie to me.

Don't lie to me.

What exactly did Jiang Xie doubt?

Xie Xi wrapped his arms around Nine Tails' neck and kissed him. Nine Tails was stunned and took a long time to recover. Then he took back the initiative and crazily kissed Xie Xi. By the time the two of them separated, they were already panting.

Xie Xi asked, "What's wrong with your body?"

Nine Tails paused.

Xie Xi pressed him. "Was it to save me?"

Nine Tails' really had the m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic brain circuit. "You don't have to blame yourself. There is no need to compensate for anything. I saved you because…"

"What are you talking about?" Xie Xi shouted. "Do you think I will give up my whole life for compensation?"

Nine Tails was stunned.

Xie Xi added, "Can you show me your body?"

Nine Tails nodded and turned into a silver fox. Nine Tails' silver fox was very large and it was said that his nine tails spread out could cover the sky. Now he was very small, like a real fox. He was so small that Xie Xi could easily pick him up.

Nine Tails' voice was m.u.f.fled. "Don't worry, I will recover after I spend some time cultivating."

Xie Xi's heart was pained. "How long will it take?"

Nine Tails, "…"

Xie Xi didn't push and changed the topic. "Your Excellency, do you still have your tails?"

It might be internal alchemy but it was only the power released from the tail. Presumably, the tails were still there.

The silver fox wilted. "I threw them aside."

"Then they still exist!" Xie Xi's eyes brightened.

Nine Tails told him, "It's useless. They have left me and it won't be too long before they disappear." He didn't want these ugly things to be seen by the little rose.

Xie Xi asked, "I heard you were heart before. Was it repaired by the flower G.o.d?"

He thought it was a sure thing but Nine Tails actually told him, "That is just a rumour among the flower family. I have never seen the flower G.o.d so how can I be repaired by him?"

Xie Xi never thought it would be like this. "You have never seen the flower G.o.d?"

Nine Tails didn't hesitate. "I've never seen him."

Xie Xi was startled. "But they all said…"

"The flower G.o.d is very prestigious but things weren't so exaggerated. He didn't show grace to White Tiger and Houqing but later, White Tiger and Houqing broke apart and the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea separated. The things related to the flower G.o.d are just rumours."

It was a rumour? The so-called repairing Azure Dragon's scales, Vermilion Bird's feathers and Nine Tails' tails… they were all rumours?

The flower G.o.d hadn't met them? Xie Xi felt there was something wrong but he temporarily couldn't think about it.

Nine Tails saw that Xie Xi was in a daze and felt restless. "Houqing treated you as the flower G.o.d."

Yes, he didn't forget to emphasize this even after becoming a little fox.

Xie Xi hesitated. He was worried about his Repair skill. Would Nine Tails think he was the reincarnation of the flower G.o.d and become more uneasy? After all, Nine Tails didn't know the flower G.o.d before but the flower G.o.d was involved with Houqing.

Nine Tails thought he was worried about the tail thing and lazily lay in Xie Xi's arms. "You don't have to worry. I can spend a lifetime with you even if I only have one tail."

It was worthy of being from the 'same source.' The dragon and fox thought the same. It was as if Xie Xi's life was their life and the extra time was irrelevant.

Xie Xi sighed softly and confessed, "Maybe I can fix your tail."

Nine Tails didn't take it seriously. "How can you fix it? Will you give me a petal as a tail? Oh, I can't bear it." Once there wasn't any drama, his poor mouth was exposed.

Xie Xi explained about what he had done on Rose Mountain and as expected, Nine Tails was stunned. "Repair?"

Xie Xi nodded. "Yes."

Nine Tails' eyes flashed. "Like the flower G.o.d?"

"I don't know because I have never seen the flower G.o.d."

Nine Tails, "…"

Xie Xi could basically guess what he was thinking and softly comforted him. "I don't know how I got this ability but I know who I am and what I want."

Nine Tails stared at him. "What do you want?"

Xie Xi's eyes curved. "I want to be with you."

Nine Tails trembled as he turned back into his human form. He hugged Xie Xi and kissed him on the forehead. "In fact, repairing my tails doesn't matter. In any case…"

Xie Xi wondered, "What if I live for more than two or three hundred years?"

Nine Tails was stunned.

Xie Xi added, "…Please don't live me alone."

These words were good and gave Nine Tails infinite power. Two or three hundred years was quite long for mortals but for Nine Tails, it was like two or three months. If a couple could only stay together for two or three months, how tragic would it be?

How could he not be willing to stay together for a longer time?

Previously, Nine Tails hadn't dared think about it. Once there was the possibility, the desire was like a magic bean that rooted itself and grew into a towering tree.

He wanted to be together forever, he wanted to make every moment eternal!

Nine Tails wondered, "Is there any harm to you?"

An injury was unavoidable. He had almost fainted from physical exhaustion when repairing Azure Dragon's scale. This time, it was estimated to be worse.

However, Xie Xi didn't say this. "It's fine. I have repaired thousands of flowers and don't think anything will happen."

Nine Tails was cautious. "Then we'll try it first. If you feel uncomfortable, immediately stop."

Xie Xi felt very soft. "Your Excellency, can you not think about me first?"

Nine Tails was surprised and then his lips curved. "I don't think about you all the time but my heart is full of you."

These familiar words of love caused Xie Xi to chuckle. "Then you should also give me a chance to think about you."

He smiled so sweetly that he fed sugar to Nine Tails. Nine Tails hugged him hard and said, "Don't do that."

Xie Xi wondered, "Hrmm?"

"It is so beautiful…I always feel like I'm dreaming."

Xie Xi was stunned and the warmth in his heart decreased. In a way, this was truly a dream. The past had long gone and Nine Tails gave everything only for the white rose to forget him.

He became a subst.i.tute for the white rose, only for the white rose to forget him. This was extremely cruel.

"It isn't a dream." Xie Xi slowly spoke from within his arms. "As long as the two of us are real, it isn't a dream."

It was a dream but the two people were the truth.

Jiang Xie had spoken these words to Xie Xi after Dream Come True and now Xie Xi told him the same words.

Their truth was proven by each other, and this was the truest truth.

Xie Xi tried to fix Nine Tails. To his surprise, he finished one tail and didn't feel too tired.

Was Nine Tails' injury lighter than Azure Dragon? This wasn't right. One was a tail and the other was a scale. The scale shouldn't be any lighter than the tail.

Or perhaps it was because of the painting? This wasn't really a repair? It shouldn't be. Then what the h.e.l.l was going on? Did he experience a surge of power overnight?

After fixing a tail, Nine Tails nervously asked him, "How do you feel."

Xie Xi smiled. "I feel that you can cover the sky." This was teasing him because in the Demon Sea, it was rumoured that once Nine Tails spread out his tails, he could cover the sky.

Nine Tails smiled.

Xie Xi's thoughts changed. "I think it might not be covering the sky but a peac.o.c.k opening his tail."

The young fox doctor present laughed out loud. Nine Tails stared at him before glancing back at Xie Xi. "Naughty."

Xie Xi started looking forward to Nine Tails' open screen!

Once he got to the third tail, Xie Xi knew why he didn't lose power. It was because…

Hint in the lower right corner: [The number one puppet has reached its limit and has been destroyed.]

Xie Xi was silent. Had he accidentally killed the first puppet with exhaustion?

It was shameful… Xie Xi solemnly apologized. 'Number one, you are much better than Siri!'

The puppet was exhausted after repairing three tails. It seemed that he couldn't see Nine Tails' screen today. He repaired one more tail and drooped.

Nine Tails immediately noticed. "What's wrong?"

Xie Xi rea.s.sured him, "Don't worry. I just used a bit of strength and will be fine after some rest."

The green fox doctor hurriedly said, "This is already a miracle. Someone can fix the tails of Nine Tails! The legendary flower G.o.d…"

He didn't finish his words before Nine Tails glared at him. The green fox shut up.

Nine Tails ordered, "Go bring some jade dew over."

The green fox bowed and rushed out.

Xie Xi knew that Nine Tails didn't want to know about the flower G.o.d and didn't mention it. He only said, "I can repair your other tails after two days of rest."

"There's no hurry. There is plenty of time."

Xie Xi didn't agree. "That time is for enjoyment. I don't want you to be affected by pain."

"However, I'm enjoying this moment."

Xie Xi, "…" He couldn't say anything to the soul.

The second puppet was soon created and Xie Xi knew his upper limit was three tails. Thus, he stopped after repairing two.

Unfortunately, there was no way to selectively consume his strength. Otherwise he would consume his own physical strength instead of the puppet and could repair three without the puppet dying.

In any case, it wasn't urgent. There were only two tails left and he could recover his physical strength after a few days.

Once all nine tails were repaired, Xie Xi stared at Nine Tails' body.

Nine Tails was still in the mood to tease. "Do you want to see me open a tail screen?"

"No."

"Okay…" Nine Tails was Jiang Xie and he leaned closer to Xie Xi. "A peac.o.c.k only opens his screen in courts.h.i.+p. You have to take responsibility."

This shameless flirty fox!

Then Xie Xi saw an extremely shocking scene.

The real Nine Tails wasn't a weak fox. Once he recovered, he was dozens of times larger and his tails unfolded, making Xie Xi realize what it meant to cover the sky.

The large amount of silver light was very beautiful and strong. Even the sunlight receded like it was difficult to compete with him.

Xie Xi was stunned and as he stared into the silver eyes, he couldn't help wondering, "What's your name?"

Nine Tails stared at him with clear silver eyes, his voice seeming to ring in the depths of Xie Xi's heart. "I have no name."

Xie Xi involuntarily said, "Fox Nine."

The nine-tailed silver fox c.o.c.ked his head.

"I will call you Fox Nine in the future, okay?"

As Xie Xi's voice fell, a strong pull hit him. He realized that he would be ejected and looked at Nine Tails as Nine Tails shouted, "Where are you going? Xie Xi, where the h.e.l.l are you going?"

Xie Xi left the G.o.d's wisdom. He returned to reality but his soul still hadn't returned.

Jiang Xie… where was Jiang Xie? He entered the G.o.d's wisdom with Jiang Xie next to him. He couldn't help looking around to find him. However, Jiang Xie couldn't be found.

Xie Xi was stunned and stared at the G.o.d's wisdom. He found that the painting on the scroll had changed. It was no longer the Nine Tailed Fox Palace in a world of ice and snow. Instead, it was a lifelike nine-tailed silver fox with his tails unfolded in a majestic manner.

He stared at Xie Xi with silver eyes full of attachment. Xie Xi couldn't help stepping forward to take the painting. There was a bang and the painting fell, becoming a small book. Xie Xi picked it up and saw the words: Nine Tailed Fox Nine.

Xie Xi tried to open it but it was like there was a ward on the book. It couldn't be opened. What was going on? Where did Nine Tails go?

Xie Xi stared at the system prompt in the lower right corner.

[Side Task: The nine tailed fox ill.u.s.tration has been collected. The completion degree is 100% and the total progress is 50%.]

Xie Xi opened his roster and at the same time, the small book turned into a scroll that was incorporated into the roster. Then the ill.u.s.tration of the nine tailed fox emerged. He looked at Xie Xi as if asking, 'Where are you?'

Xie Xi reached out and touched it, full of doubts. What was going on? After collecting the ill.u.s.tration, Nine Tails was sealed into the G.o.d's wisdom? What was the G.o.d's wisdom? What happened once an existence was sealed?

Unfortunately, Nine Tails wasn't here so Jiang Xie wasn't either. He couldn't discuss it with Jiang Xie.

Then there was a loud scream from Red Two outside the door. "99! Something big is happening!"

Xie Xi's nerves tightened and he hurriedly opened the door. "What happened?"

Red Two took him by the hand. "We must hurry and get out of here!"

Xie Xi followed him and asked, "What's going on?"

Red Two ran as he explained, "Sage White Tiger suddenly launched an attack on Demon Sea and is fighting with Ancestor Houqing!"

Xie Xi hadn't figured out Nine Tails' location and now these two were fighting?

Red Two added, "It's really wicked. I don't know where the white rose came from. He actually hooked up with two demon ancestors from Demon Sea and also fascinated the heart of Sage White Tiger, causing him to be furious and filled with the desire to slaughter all of Demon Sea."

Xie Xi didn't dare be careless. This was very much like something that Old Three could do!

In Atlantis, Xie Xi discovered that the soul with the highest combat power was the third prince (White Tiger), followed by the sixth prince (Houqing). If these two people fought, it would really be a catastrophe in various ways.

Xie Xi said, "I will go and see." He couldn't let them fight or the whole quasi-world would collapse!

Red Two wondered, "What's the use of you going? The most important one is the white rose."

"I am the white rose."

Red Two, "???"
