Warm Fuzzies

If you say it like Sydney, it seems that it is indeed not impossible.

At the beginning, he accidentally landed in this small fairyland, and after he was able to move a little bit, Zilan himself once marveled at the tightness of this fairyland's barrier. At that time, he felt that this kind of barrier was definitely not something that ordinary gods could easily set up.

And the fairyland of Sydney is hidden in the jade pendant. If only the barriers placed on the jade pendant can be so powerful, if the barriers are directly arranged, they should be completely stronger. If the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan stayed under such a barrier, it would not be surprising that no one had found it for thousands of years.

But if this is the case, why would the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan suddenly hide like this? Why has there been no contact with the outside world for a thousand years?

Also, why did Sydney fall outside alone and be picked up by Fairy Shaoyin?

It seems that there are still many unanswered mysteries.

At this time, Sydney has already continued. She said in a daze: "I don't think I'm the only nine-tailed fox. At least not all nine-tailed foxes died out a thousand years ago. After all, I'm only seventeen years old. If the nine-tailed fox died a thousand years ago It’s all gone, so how can I be there? The jade pendant I opened Little Wonderland also has the words of the fox clan, I should have parents, although it’s too small to remember..."

Sydney remembered the singing she would sing when she was ignorant.

It sounded like a woman's voice, which made people feel safe and gentle. Sydney felt that it should be her mother.

However, Xue Li seemed to be not very sure about this guess. Her little ears shook up and down uneasily, and she said shyly: "But this is just my random thought, I don't know if there is anything wrong, yes Isn't it fantastic?"

"Do not…"

Unexpectedly, Zilan pondered for a moment, but said seriously: "I think it is indeed very possible."

"real?!"

Sydney's eyes lit up.

"Ok."

Zilan nodded.

But he also said: "However, no one has found traces of the nine-tailed fox for thousands of years. Even if they really still exist in the world, they are probably hidden very secretly, or they have encountered some very difficult circumstances to show up. If you want to find them It's going to be difficult...and we're not sure we'll ever find it."

"I know."

Sydney flicked her nine tails like a fan. She also knew that if she wanted to find a nine-tailed fox, it might not happen overnight, but just because Zilan confirmed her guess, Sydney was already very happy.

She happily ran forward, and affectionately rubbed Zilan's side twice.

Zilan also lowered her head, and handed her head to the little fox to rub.

Xueli walked around Zilan lively, because Xueli was in a good mood after being affirmed by Zilan, and her state was obviously much more positive. She picked up the small wooden bucket and ran to the water's edge.

They're very upstream now, and it's good to want to fetch water.

Xue Li took the wooden bucket to the river. She was probably a little thirsty. She put the wooden bucket aside, looked down at the water, and then lowered her body to drink.

The little nine-tailed fox hangs her head lightly on the surface of the water, her paws stick to the shore, her white fur is gently blown by the breeze, and she looks very leisurely. The water in the small river is slow and clear, and from the side, you can see the dangling reflection of the little nine-tailed fox in the water, as well as her short-lived little tongue as she elegantly licks the water surface.

Zilan likes to watch the life of the little nine-tailed fox, but at this moment, Xueli seems to want to drink the water near the center of the river, so she leans forward slightly, and her feet seem to have stepped on the bank by accident. Sliding forward on the mossy cobblestone, Xue Li let out a panicked "Wow", but before the "Woo" sound was finished, the whole little fox rolled into the water with a thud.

"Aww—!"

Zilan was terrified on the spot, and quickly jumped into the water with a "boom", blocking the river, for fear that the little nine-tailed fox would be washed away by the water.

A snow wolf as big as Zilan, jumping into the river made a lot of noise. There were splashes several feet high in the air. The water droplets shone brightly in the sun, and the grass on the bank was sprinkled with water. halfway.

Zilan frantically looked for the little fox in the water, it was still winter, even though it was warm in Little Wonderland and the water wasn't so icy, he was still very worried.

After fishing for a long time, Zi Lan finally brought up the drowned little fox, and carefully placed her on the shore with the most gentle movements.

Both of them were soaked through, with their white hair sticking wetly to their bodies, they were in a state of embarrassment.

Zilan lowered her head worriedly to see the state of Sydney.

Xueli stood up, spun her hair vigorously, and splashed all the water away, then raised her head to look at Zilan.

Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Zilan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Sydney was very energetic. Not only was she not frightened, but she also thought it was fun to fall into the water like that. She jumped on the grass a few times, and then jumped into the water happily. Paddle back and forth, and by the way, use the little fox claws to slap water in the direction of Zilan, to splash the big snow wolf.

She is small and weak, even if she tried her best to slap the water, it only splashed on the big snow wolf's chest and body, but the little fox still seemed to be having a good time.

Zilan watched Xueli patted happily, and wanted to play with the little nine-tailed fox. The tail behind him was already wagging, but he looked at his big paws and was really hesitant.

In the end, Zilan thought about it, but couldn't hold back the joy in her heart. She raised her paw carefully, trying to control the strength, and gently pushed the water.

The river flowed against the current and made a wave!

Then the little nine-tailed fox was washed away by the waves.

"Aww—!"

Zilan panicked and wanted to pick up the little fox again, but before he rushed over, Xueli had already swam back happily.

Sydney swam to his side, squinted her eyes happily, and fetched water "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo", as if having a good time.

Seeing that Zilan was frozen in place, she pushed him strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Let's play in the water together?"

Looking at the little fox's dark eyes, Zilan was completely relieved, and the tail of the wolf behind him wagged even more.

"Aww—"

He gave a long roar to the sky, and couldn't help jumping in the water excitedly, and high waves suddenly set off in the small river!

But Xue Li didn't seem to care much, and still had a lot of fun, fetching water lively, and splashing water with Big Snow Wolf in the small river.

Two white fur balls, one big and one small, had a water fight.

Xueli laughed happily, but she soon realized that her original form was really not enough for Zilan, even if Zilan could control her strength, it was still a bit difficult for her. So she resolutely changed back to her human body, and played with him again. Seeing this, Zi Lan also changed back to her human body, only threw Bai Qiu on the shore, and continued to play with Xue Li.

The two were soon soaked through again.

While hiding from the water splashed by Zilan, Xue Li looked for an opportunity to splash him back. Sometimes when she was splashed, Zilan hugged her from behind while hiding, and when she touched an itchy spot, she couldn't help but "giggle" Laughing, frantically brushing away the broken hair that fell to his face after being wet with water.

Zilan picked her up and put her on the bank, and the two of them fell to the bank together, and they both fell to the ground, with him propping up on top of her.

Suddenly the four eyes met.

Because the situation was so sudden, Xueli was still laughing just now, but when she met Zilan's deep and focused wolf eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

The surroundings seemed to be silent all of a sudden.

Sydney's clothes were soaked in clear water. Although it was winter, she was still in the fairy world. She didn't even look up. The light cloud-like fabric was attached to her body, and she seemed to be able to vaguely see the smooth and delicate skin on her shoulders behind the collar.

Xueli and Zilan looked at each other, her gaze slightly dodged, she felt nervous for some reason.

It's a very ambiguous atmosphere, and both of them can feel the tension between them.

Xueli could feel Zilan's hands tightening slightly on both sides of her arms, and she knew that he felt flustered too, but just when Xueli felt that Zilan might politely avoid her eyes as usual and get up hastily, or just be reserved When she gently kissed her forehead or the side of her face, she felt Zilan lower her head.

He quietly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The shallow kiss was slightly cool with water vapor, only the breath was warm, as light as a feather, but still sweet enough to make one's chest tighten.

He lightly clasped her shoulders, held her cheeks in one hand, and covered the blush on her side with his sleeves hanging down. Even though no one else was watching, he subconsciously wanted to keep Sydney within his protection.

After a while, he raised his head slightly, but maintained his original posture, still staring at her motionlessly.

Sydney's cheeks were hot.

She raised her hand and covered her lips in a daze.

Xue Li panicked, "Why do you..."

Zilan asked, "Can't you?"

Sydney said: "That's not true, it's just..."

Just startled.

Sydney's heart was beating so fast that she didn't know how to put her hands and feet.

Apart from the last time in a dim room, this was the first time they kissed. After the kiss was over, both of them were a little strangely at a loss.

Sydney pursed her lower lip, feeling sweet.

She didn't know what to say, so she buried herself in Zilan's arms, buried her face, and rubbed his chin.

Zi Lan hugged Xue Li, but felt that she was covered in water and her clothes were cold.

He hurriedly took the white fur that was thrown on the shore earlier and put it on for her, it was the only dry clothes on both of them now.

He hugged Xueli through the white fur, but the two of them didn't want to go back yet, and because of that kiss, they were a little silent.

Zilan hugged the little fox in her arms and watched her quietly for a while. Because in her own fairyland, Xueli didn't tuck her tail on purpose, Zilan could see her eartips moving.

At this time, Zilan paused, not only to relieve the atmosphere, but also said in surprise: "Speaking of which, it is obviously winter, but the water here is still much warmer than the water in other places."

After the cold and evil spirit on Zilan's body was removed, his perception was much more normal than before. If it was the past, it would be unthinkable for him to go to the river with Sydney to play in the water like this in winter.

But even so, Zilan could still tell that the water was warm, warmer than other places, but it was a bit of winter coolness, which could even be ignored.

It's not just water, the fairyland in Sydney seems to be much warmer than other places, even warmer than the wolf land, at least it snows in the wolf land, and there is a shallow layer of grass on the ground here.

Xue Li also nodded and said: "It seems so, this year is a warm winter in Wonderland."

She touched the grass on the ground, and said with a warm and nostalgic tone: "The weather here is sometimes like this, sometimes the summer is not too hot, and the winter is not too cold, usually there are very few bad weather, all year round It's all like spring."

"I also sometimes vaguely feel like someone is taking care of me," she said.

The grass in the fairyland is very soft, and Sydney will make a soft "rustling" sound when you touch it.

Zilan looked at Sydney, and made a deep sound.

In fact, he did feel this way. Sydney obviously put a lot of effort into carrying that piece of Lingyu with him. Whether it was the protection of the invisible barrier from the outside or the comfortable and pleasant environment in the fairyland, he could feel a kind of silent feeling. guard. If it was true what Xue Li said, and that there were nine-tailed foxes in the world, her family must love her to the extreme, and it was because of a serious situation that they had to let her live outside alone.

Zilan's throat twitched, he was afraid that saying such unspoken words would make Xue Li feel more sad, so he swallowed the words back.

But he lowered his waist, unconsciously lowered his voice, held her tighter in his arms, and whispered solemnly in her ear: "I will protect you too."
