Warm Fuzzies

So Sydney said shyly: "Auntie, let's go to bed, and you should go to bed earlier."

"it is good."

Shaoyin smiled at her, but closed her eyes slightly after saying "good", and then got up to let Licorice and Angelica tidy up the tea set, as if she was really tired.

Sydney and Zilan bid farewell and left.

Zilan seldom speaks today, although this is also due to the personality of the Snow Wolf clan, but Sydney can feel that he is dignified because of the topic of his aunt.

It was different from the situation when he came back to Xuelian Peak last time, this time Shaoyin came back, and after getting Shaoyin's permission, Licorice arranged the residence of the two of them in the inner palace.

Xueli and Zilan walked side by side to the resting place. Zilan sent Xueli to the residence first. Just before he was about to leave, Xueli came over and hugged his waist, rubbed his chin comfortably, and thanked him: "Fog Wu, thank you for today."

Zi Lan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Sydney said: "Thank you for accompanying me to see my aunt. Before that, the wolf officer said that you asked them to help pay attention to the news of my aunt's return to heaven, so the heavenly official will inform the wolf as soon as my aunt is about to return to heaven." Palace, so I can find out so quickly. You also specially prepared a fairy car to come with me."

"...All of these, no need to thank you."

Zi Lan replied slightly surprised. He did pay more attention to Sydney, but when he did it at the beginning, he didn't think much about it. He just hoped that Sydney could get the news of Fairy Shaoyin and see Fairy Shaoyin sooner, so that maybe Xueli would be able to get more attention. Feeling happy, at this time Xueli proposed it so solemnly and wanted to thank him, but Zilan felt a little embarrassed and blushed a little.

Sydney said: "What my aunt said today...shocked me."

Zilan replied: "Yes. I didn't expect your father to be Changyun Shenjun. I have heard of the name of this Shenjun. He is very good at breaking the wind sword, and he is also very good in the battle of fairy monsters." Famous. There is also Fairy Xuexin, whose experience is also touching."

Zilan's expression looked really shocked.

Just Sydney asked: "When you heard what your aunt said just now, you looked a little nervous?"

"…Ok."

Hearing Sydney talking about this, Zilan paused slightly, his eyes flickered, but he did not deny it.

He said: "I was just thinking, if Fairy Shaoyin tells you such an important secret, does it matter if I listen to it too?"

Zilan really cares about Sydney and wants to know everything about her. But he is also very clear that Changyun Shenjun and Fairy Xuexin are both Sydney's parents, and Shaoyin Fairy is Sydney's master and aunt. Seriously speaking, these are all Sydney's family affairs, and have nothing to do with outsiders like him . Fairy Xuexin's matter is serious, and Fairy Shaoyin must have made a lot of determination to tell Sydney all about it, and it is undoubtedly an "exception" to have him present at this time.

Fairy Shaoyin is a very calm and prudent person, it is very difficult for her to make an exception.

Zilan vaguely felt that he should have been honored by God Changyun back then, because there was a precedent of telling God Changyun about Fairy Xuexin and allowing God Changyun to enter the inner palace of Xuelian Peak, so Fairy Shaoyin would After thinking about it, I decided to make an exception for him. Now that I think about it, this point seems to have been mentioned in the discussion between Licorice and Angelica when they first came to Snow Lotus Peak. However, compared to Changyun Shenjun's four-year long guard, Zilan is really relaxed this time.

However, compared to Zilan's tightness, Sydney thought it was natural.

She asked, "Then will you tell it after hearing it?"

Zilan immediately promised: "Of course not! As long as you two don't instruct me, I won't say a word."

Zilan's gaze was firm, and there was no wavering or hesitation in her pitch-black pupils. Her gaze was like that of a wolf.

Xueli and Zilan have lived together for so long, she knows that the commitment of the wolf clan is very heavy, especially for the snow wolf clan. Sydney knew Zilan well, and he would definitely not confide a single word after he said that.

Thinking of this, Sydney couldn't help laughing, and said, "That's it."

Xue Li said: "My aunt asked you to listen together. She must have trusted you and believed in your character to do so. You spent a lot of time with us in Little Fairyland. When the fairyland was invaded by the rainstorm of the men in white , It was you who gave your life to save us, even though you are fine now, but at that time you were really close to death, these aunts saw it..."

At that time, Sydney was still ignorant of Zilan's actions, but after listening to other people's explanations and descriptions on Jiuchongtian, and listening to Xuanwu Beijun's statement at the palm star meeting, she understood clearly, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. , and his feelings for Zilan became more and more moved.

Xue Li said: "After going through all this, it is impossible for my aunt not to believe you. Besides, you are not an outsider, you and I..."

Speaking of this, Sydney suddenly blushed.

She shyly said: "Don't say it! Anyway, I just want to thank you, you go back to sleep, good night!"

After finishing speaking, Xueli stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed the corner of Zilan's mouth. Then, as if she had been burned, she dragged her tail and ran away in a panic. She disappeared behind the door and closed it with a "boom". Door.

Because Xueli's movements were too fast, Zilan was still dazed for a while.

He froze for a while, and after a long time, he raised his hand belatedly, and touched the place where Xueli had kissed quickly just now, and then couldn't help but blushing the tip of his ear.

Zilan was stiff and excited, and after a long time, he pursed his lips. Although he was still calm on the surface, the tail behind him revealed his emotions. Reluctantly, Sydney had already gone back into the room, and he stood there for a long time before finally walking towards his own residence with his wildly wagging tail.

After Xueli ran back to the room, she kept secretly hiding behind the window to observe Zilan's reaction. Her own nine big white tails were also shaking uncomfortably, and she shyly retreated into the room obediently after confirming that Zilan had left.

Xueli turned back into a little white fox, slipped into bed, and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Xue Li rubbed back and forth on the bed and wagged her tail, because of what her aunt told her earlier, her head was too energetic to fall asleep.

However, Xueli soon discovered that the room arranged this time was different from the last time. Not only was it in the inner palace, but her aunt also put some small pillows and dolls on the bed for her. She smelled a different smell, it was the familiar smell she smelled on those small toys last time, which was a bit like her own.

It's a mother's breath...

Her aunt prepared a lot of things left by her former mother for her.

Xueli paused for a moment, pulled a little puppet on the bed into her arms, and sniffed it lightly. The same aura somehow reassured her inexplicably.

Very pleasant smell.

Xue Li couldn't help hugging Ceng Ceng, and buried herself in the quilt and doll, her drowsiness gradually became stronger, Xue Li buried herself in the warm and soft bed, and fell asleep without knowing it.

…

Like Xueli and Zilan, they decided to temporarily stay in Aunt Shaoyin's Snow Lotus Peak for a few days.

Zilan wrote a letter back to the Wolf Realm to inform the Wolf King and Queen of the situation.

The wolf king and the wolf queen were mentally prepared when they learned that Zilan and Xueli were going to pick up Fairy Shaoyin back to heaven. Fairy Shaoyin is very famous in Jiuzhongtian. The daughter of Fairy Shaoyin's family, their master and apprentice have been separated for a long time, and it is normal for them to live together in the future. Zilan must be reluctant to part with the little fox who just got into his arms. It is completely understandable to want to stay together, so the wolf king The wolf queen readily agreed.

This is not the first time for Xueli and Zilan to come to Snow Lotus Peak. Compared with the last time, the feeling of Snow Lotus Peak is much different this time.

When Sydney woke up and came out of the room, she happened to see Licorice and Angelica happily cleaning the yard and tending herbs.

Licorice saw Xueli coming out, her eyes flickered, she coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said hello awkwardly: "You're up!"

Dang Gui held a straw basket not much smaller than others, and smiled shyly at Sydney.

Licorice and Angelica are obviously more energetic than when they came last time, and they also try to show kindness to her.

Xue Li nodded and thanked: "Well, I haven't thanked you for this meeting. Thank you for helping us last time."

Licorice obviously knew that she didn't treat Sydney well when they met last time, so she was embarrassed now, but Xue Li knew that they were all protecting their aunt, so of course they didn't care.

Licorice was not at ease when she heard her thank you like this, and said, "You're welcome. Fortunately, Mr. Yuan Jun told you everything, and we didn't make a wrong judgment, otherwise we will be to blame."

Sydney asked: "Do you know where my aunt is now?"

Licorice pointed to the outer palace and said: "Master Yuan Jun started at the fixed hour every day when he was in Xuelian Peak. There are no patients and guests who came to visit today. Most of them are already doing morning work. I have prepared breakfast. Since you When you wake up, go and eat by yourself. By the way, Master Yuan Jun said that he hopes you will go to her when you wake up, and you can go to eat something good."

Sydney quickly responded.

Sydney ran to the dining hall to have a look, and saw licorice made pastries. The licorice cooking skills are amazing. The red, white and white rice cakes are all made into the shape of flowers. Let her come and eat by herself.

Sydney likes to eat sweet things, and this kind of sweet rice cake is very suitable for her taste. She happily ate several pieces, her ears dangling, and then she went to find her aunt.

Snow Lotus Peak in the early morning is very quiet. Walking outside, you can see mist and snow-capped mountains. The scenery is far and quiet, and there is a sense of etherealness, more like a fairyland than a fairyland.

Xueli went to knock on the door of Licorice Finger's aunt's practice room.

"Come in."

Shaoyin's voice came from inside the house.

When Xueli stepped into the room, she realized that the place where her aunt usually practiced was very energetic. Xueli had never been to this room last time. Not to mention that she was in Xinglin Peak back then. The aunt herself is the master of the Asgard, so there is no need to be surprised.

There is a medicine cabinet and a pill furnace in the house. Medical books and all kinds of herbs are neatly arranged in several rows. In the middle is the place for studying and practicing. There is a large space, covered with wooden mats, cleaned spotlessly, and medical equipment familiar to Sydney. , Shaoyin was sitting in the middle.

Shaoyin pointed to the seat opposite her and said, "Sit down."

Sydney hurriedly sat down on the opposite side.

Shaoyin said calmly: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I've been in the mortal world during this time. I don't know how you are doing in the Nine Heavens. Today, let me check your homework first."

As she spoke, she took out dozens of herbs and put them in front of Xueli one by one.

Xue Li glanced up and recognized most of these herbs, including spiritual ginseng herbs from the mortal world, and rare and precious fairy herbs that can only be found in the Nine Heavens.

At the beginning, some spiritual ginseng and fairy grasses were also planted in the Little Fairyland, but the varieties were limited. Like this rare fairyland spiritual plant, it is not that Shaoyin has never taught Sydney, but most of them are simply taught by drawing or legends, and they are displayed brightly. It has never happened before, and the questions given to her by her aunt this time are undoubtedly a bit beyond the outline.

Sydney scanned it roughly, and found that there were about seven or eight kinds of herbs that he couldn't recognize quickly. Because he didn't want to disappoint his aunt, he felt a little anxious. She forced herself to settle down and calm down, starting from the simple ones, and then reported the names of the herbs, their properties, and the methods of treatment and use.

Shao Yin sat quietly opposite, listening very quietly.

But in the middle of the exam, Xueli couldn't keep up with her turmoil after all, her voice gradually became quieter, and her movements of picking up herbs stopped.

Shaoyin noticed something strange about Xueli, and asked, "What's wrong? Is it too difficult?"

"no."

Xue Li blushed and shook her head. She was indeed a little worried about those herbs that she didn't recognize, but this was not the key point, and there were other reasons.

"I've been thinking about what my aunt told me yesterday, and I can't calm down," she said.

"…I see."

Shaoyin could understand and nodded lightly.

Seeing that her aunt was not angry, Sydney felt a little relieved. But she paused, and couldn't help asking: "Auntie, my parents... what kind of people are they?"
