Warm Fuzzies

The practice of medicine is actually related to cultivation. After Sydney's own cultivation has been improved, the use of immortal skills in medicine will naturally become more handy.

The most obvious of these is the snow melting technique.

Because the snowmelting technique itself can see the shape, once the cultivation level improves, the changes will be particularly prominent.

After the lotus flower in Xueli's hand became more real and delicate, her whole aura also changed, and it seemed to become stronger.

Shaoyin still looked at Xueli with satisfaction, and said happily, "Look at you, the movement of using the fairy technique has become smoother, and it looks easier. According to this, if you go outside to help other people heal their injuries, I don’t have to look at it from time to time, and I can feel relieved.”

"It's still far behind my aunt. I still have a lot to learn."

Sydney said modestly.

But even so, she was also praised by her aunt, her tail was raised up, and she shook happily in the air.

Shaoyin was really amazed at Sydney's progress. She treated Sydney as both a teacher and a mother, and her feelings were quite different. Seeing that Sydney was maturing, she was both proud and emotional, and couldn't help but patted Sydney's head.

Sydney was touched obediently by her aunt, and her two white ears were shaken by the touch.

After Shaoyin touched the pears, she calmed down and gave her medical advice.

Sydney lowered her head and listened intently, asking questions from time to time.

The master and apprentice came and went, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Two hours passed without knowing it.

It's just that after Shaoyin gave instructions, Xueli packed the needle and medicine box, but didn't move immediately.

Shaoyin saw that she seemed to have an idea, paused, and looked at her with eyes ready to listen.

Sure enough, Xueli plucked up the courage and said, "Auntie, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"what?"

Sydney said, "When the matter of Heiwu is settled smoothly... or after I am sure that everyone is safe and sound, I want to go to the mortal world and find Xuan Ri Yan Guo."

As expected, Shaoyin was taken aback, and asked inexplicably, "Why did you suddenly have such an idea? Xuan Ri Yan Guo, didn't I say that I would find a way for you?"

When Xue Li actually said this idea, she was a little hesitant. She has never left the fairyland since she grew up. Even if she went outside to listen to the snow wolf's speech, she only came back after a short while. Her concept of the outside world is all from Aunt Shaoyin, and she always feels that the mortal world is like a hazy illusion, which really exists, but is invisible and intangible.

Recently, as Big Snow Wolf told her more and more things, Xueli gradually realized that the world outside Xiaoxian was bigger than she imagined. She was so young, it was hard not to be completely curious.

Sydney said, "I can't tell, but I have a feeling that I want to know what is going on outside. I know that I will try my best to do what my aunt promised me, but I don't want to always be in the fairyland I am waiting for my aunt to come back, if I go out and have a look, I may have some new ideas."

Xueli spoke a little vaguely, but Shaoyin was silent for a moment after listening to her words.

She looked at Sydney in front of her, the little fox and little girl in the past, but now she has grown up and is a slim young girl.

It is not unexpected that Shaoyin will have such a day sooner or later.

When she was a child, Sydney didn't really like her leaving Wonderland for too long. Every time she went out, Sydney would show a very worried look. When she tried to go out at first, even if she only went to the sky, Sydney would follow her reluctantly until she was sent to the entrance of the fairyland, and then waited for her at the entrance every day until she came back.

At that time, every time Shaoyin returned to the fairyland, she would see a little white fur ball lying on its stomach at the entrance. The little fox was lying down listlessly, but as soon as he saw her come back, he would jump up and down happily.

Of course, Sydney will always be a child in her eyes. In fact, even now that she has grown into a young girl, Shaoyin still feels that she has not changed much. Just watching Xueli grow up day by day, Shaoyin would occasionally feel hesitant, whether she should try to let Xueli face the bigger world, but thinking of the unpredictable good and evil outside the fairyland, Shaoyin couldn't help but feel that she should try to let Xueli face the bigger world. Wait, or wait.

After waiting, I waited until today.

Shaoyin looked at Xueli's immature face, pursed her lips and asked, "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to go out?"

Sydney hasn't actually made up her mind either.

It was not an easy decision to leave the home where I grew up and live, to places I had never seen before.

She was anxious in her heart, and in front of her aunt, Xueli shook her head honestly, "...No, I haven't thought it through yet."

Shaoyin looked at Xueli's tangled face because of the difficulty of making a choice, sighed lightly, touched her head gently, and said softly, "It's okay, you think about it slowly, and come back to me when you think about it, okay?" ?”

Shaoyin's kind and gentle tone gave Sydney an unspeakable sense of security. She nodded seriously, thought about it, and suddenly wanted to act like a spoiled child. She went over and hugged her aunt's waist, and buried her head in her chest.

My aunt has a herbal smell similar to hers, and Sydney has always liked it.

Shaoyin gently smoothed Shun Xueli's long hair.

However, at this time, above the clouds in the sky outside the fairyland, a figure dressed in white appeared.

He is tall and tall, with a handsome face, and his temperament is like the moon in his arms, but his eyes are extremely hollow, and his aloofness makes people daunting.

His eyes moved slightly left and right in the cold eyes for a moment, as if he was looking at the scene here, and then a cloud of black air gradually gathered in his hands.

He indeed found this place when he was looking for Snow Wolf.

At the beginning, he planned to shoot him down from the cloud platform as before, and then take him away from Jiuchongtian, but he didn't expect that when he chased him down from the cloud platform, the snow wolf had disappeared.

It is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air. If something goes wrong, there must be a reason.

The man spent some effort and searched in various ways, and he found an extremely hidden little fairyland here.

This small fairyland was well hidden, and there was a very deep protective barrier. With his cultivation base and his efforts, he could only allow a small part of the black mist to pass through the barrier and enter the fairyland. In this way, although he can detect the environment of the fairyland, his strength in the fairyland will also be greatly reduced.

However, there are two palm-star beasts in this fairyland, one of which is a nine-tailed fox. Just because of this, it is impossible for him to give up here.

The moon was about to rise.

Today should be a full moon.

The man waved his sleeve, and the mist immediately sank down along the cloud.

Where the black mist touches, the world is suddenly covered with dark clouds, and there are faint electric sounds of "click" and "click" in the dark clouds.

The black mist fell into the air, groping in the air like a person without vision, and soon, it finally found a crack, passed the most favorable protection, and slipped in silently.

The torrential rain in Xiaoxian territory suddenly fell at dusk.

When the incident happened, the little animals in the fairyland saw that the big cloud was suddenly blackened and turned into a dark cloud, with lightning in it, and the rumbling thunder kept shaking people's eardrums.

Because everyone had prepared in advance, as soon as the sky turned dark, the small animals scattered all over the forest rushed towards the direction of the wooden house. For those who are small in size, you can often see a scene like a cheetah carrying five or six rabbits and rushing away desperately. Everyone almost rushed back to the protection area they had set up in Sydney before the first lightning strike.

After returning to the edge of the wooden house, everyone raised their heads together, looking up at the frighteningly gloomy black clouds in the sky, as well as the constantly flickering thunder.

The torrential rain poured down with a bang.

Zilan was sitting face to face with Xueli in the room, and he was trying his best to teach Xueli to speak the common fairy language, because she hadn't learned much yet, and her speech was a bit babbling.

The moment the cloud turned black, Zilan happened to notice the aura he had noticed several times in the room, and immediately stood up!

Sydney's sense of smell is not as sensitive as Zilan's, but she also feels abnormality from the momentary darkening sky outside the window.

The two hurried out of the house together.

All kinds of animals are rushing to the protected area of ​​Xianshu, and the scene outside the house is like a large-scale migration scene.

White deer, rabbits, monkeys, wild boars and other animals that have been enlightened for a long time are desperately directing other animals to run to a safe place.

"Sydney, what should we do?"

Everyone could see that the weather this time was worse than the thunderstorm last time. At least the last time the sky was never so low and the sky was not so dark. Bailu and the other animals were all panicked. When they saw Xueli approaching, Bailu stamped his hooves and asked Xueli for help.

It was too late to say it, but as soon as Bailu finished speaking, he saw a bolt of lightning strike straight from the sky!

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but this time the fierce thunder obviously didn't give them a chance to prepare too much, and it directly hit the barrier that Sydney and the others had set up for the wooden house before!

The supposedly transparent and invisible barrier was flickered and fluctuated by the powerful lightning strike!

The small animals on the ground immediately made a panicked noise, and everyone ran around, and those who could find shelter immediately found a house and got in.

Xueli has always been afraid of thunder, and she can't shrink back at this time. Although she still stands upright, her body can't help but tremble for a moment.

However, Xueli's trembling hadn't finished yet, she didn't even realize it, and was quickly shoved into her chest by the people around her.

Zilan covered her ears.

Zi Lan was still wearing a thick fur robe, Xue Li was buried in the soft fur on his chest, the skin on his face felt soft, and the surrounding seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.

Zilan leaned down gently, leaned into her ear and said, "Don't listen, don't be afraid."

Xue Li calmed down strangely, Big Snow Wolf's voice seemed more gentle than usual, she nodded unconsciously.

Seeing the girl in his arms gradually calming down, Zi Lan gradually felt at ease. He likes Sydney and knows that she is afraid of thunder, so he is worried.

But while they were talking, several thunderbolts struck down in succession, as if there was something attracting them, all the thunderbolts struck straight in this direction, striking **** their barrier.

The three-layer barrier kept flickering under the heavy blow, and the outermost one was quickly split open.

Zi Lan said in a deep voice, "It's the things from before."

The little tigers seemed to be very sensitive to thunder since their mother died. Everyone else was running towards the wooden house and Aunt Shaoyin’s new house, but these two little tigers were rushing out desperately. On the edge of the barrier, he lowered his body and bared his teeth in a fierce offensive posture, and let out a young but desperate growl from his throat, as if he wanted to rush out of the barrier and fight to the death with lightning and thunder.

Xueli grabbed Zilan's fur coat, and her mind went blank for a moment.

They didn't know much about the black mist that Zilan was talking about. In fact, Sydney had never seen that thing at all, but just heard from Zilan. But just looking at the dark scene, Sydney also knew that the situation was unusual.

The two little tigers have been very docile since they moved, and they have never put on such a posture, as if seeing a **** enemy.

After the wooden house set up a barrier, the raindrops could not enter the protected range, but they roared desperately at the rain outside the barrier, and were extremely emotional.

Xueli straightened her mind, forced herself to calm down, and said, "I'll help my aunt and Xiaolu let the other animals go back into the house right away!"

Zi Lan nodded his head, but his brows never loosened, like taut strings.

At this moment, another thunderbolt fell, and with a loud "click", the outermost barrier shattered!

Sydney was stunned.

There are only two layers of the barrier left.

They added three layers because one layer might not be enough, but they didn't expect the first layer to be broken so quickly! Couldn't bear a few thunderstorms at all.

The outermost layer was set up by Aunt Shaoyin. Although Auntie is a mortal, she tried her best to protect the fairy. Sydney watched her rest for several days after finishing the arrangement.

The string between Zilan's eyebrows also closed even deeper.

He has a better understanding of things outside of this little fairyland, and has a more accurate judgment of the strength of outsiders.

The opponent is very strong.

At that time, Zilan only saw a cloud of black mist and couldn't make a clear judgment, but now he can see clearly that the opponent is far more difficult than he imagined.

Although I still don't know what the other party is, but judging from the power of these few thunders, it probably has enough power, enough to support the lightning strikes day and night for several days and nights.

In addition, it might be able to sneak into the Nine Heavens without a sound, and it can also pass through the strict protection of this small fairyland, and its strength is unprecedentedly terrifying.

...If you just stay here and wait to die, sooner or later all three layers of barriers will be shattered.

Zilan fell silent.

In the blink of an eye, Zi Lan made a decision.

At this time, Xueli said anxiously, "I'll help Xiaolu and the others go back to the house! Then I'll come back to make up the magic spell! Big Snow Wolf, wait here for a while..."

Xueli hadn't finished speaking when the big snow wolf grabbed her wrist.

Zi Lan said, "I set up the innermost barrier, and it should last for a while."

Sydney didn't respond for a moment.

Zilan continued quietly, "You also go back to the house with the others as soon as possible, and stay with Fairy Shaoyin."

The air was silent for a moment.

Sensing something wrong in his words, Sydney blurted out and asked, "What about you?"

Zilan said, "I'll go out and have a look."

Zi Lan's words were very flat and firm, but after hearing it, Xue Li felt a strong tug in her heart.

Seeing the terrible torrential rain outside the barrier, and the continuous falling thunder, Sydney knew that this must be very dangerous.

She said hurriedly, "I'll go with you! I'll bring some medicine, it should help you—"

However, before Xueli finished speaking, Zilan shook her head.

In fact, if his previous guess is correct, the strength of the people outside the clouds may be far above him, even more disparity than imagined.

He couldn't protect Xue Li, it was too dangerous to take her out.

What's more, his plan is to try to find the other party first, and if he really can't beat him, he will lure the other party away, giving Sydney as much time as possible to escape.

In other words, he knew in his heart that he was probably going to die.

But of course this cannot be told to Sydney.

Zi Lan said, "Your cultivation level is not high, it may affect me, I can't take you. And you stay in the fairyland, other people need your protection and care."

He paused for a moment, and then exhorted, "Wait a while, if the rain doesn't stop, but the rain becomes smaller, you can take everyone to leave the fairyland immediately when the rain is light, and run to the east, understand?"

The rain didn't stop, which means that he failed to subdue the opponent, but as long as he can lead the opponent away, the rain will become weaker.

Xueli was stunned, but still asked, "What about you?"

Zilan said, "I'll be back to meet you in a while."

Sydney asked again, "Then the rain has stopped?"

Zilan replied, "It means it's safe."

Zilan paused for a moment, then asked repeatedly, "Have you remembered all these? Don't forget."

Sydney nodded.

She felt relieved, but seeing Zilan's expression, Xueli always felt that something was wrong.

Xue Li's eyes shifted, and suddenly she thought of something, and hurriedly said, "That's right! Just wait a moment!"

Zilan was puzzled.

I saw Xue Li hurried back into the house, and then hurried back again, stuffed a handful of grass into his mouth, then she held her breath, gathered her immortal energy, and then quickly tapped the acupuncture points on Zilan's chest a few times, silently recited the formula in her heart, Inject immortal energy into his body.

Zilan suddenly felt a warm current flowing into her body.

Sydney used fairy magic on him.

Xue Li explained, "This fairy art is used to protect your body! I learned it from my aunt before, but I didn't have a chance to use it... As long as you have this fairy art, you can be invulnerable, and you can also resist the claws and teeth of wild animals. Your body is less prone to injury."

Sydney said it a little shyly.

This is the best effect on protecting the body among the fairy arts that Sydney has learned so far.

Immortal doctors in the fairy world don't just treat illnesses and injuries, they can do far more than ordinary doctors.

However, such an important fairy art consumes a lot of fairy power, and Xue Li was afraid of wasting too much time, so she used the fastest speed to perform it, and she looked weak.

Zi Lan was startled when he heard Xue Li's words, and he stretched out his hand and placed Xue Li's hand on the acupuncture point on his chest. He could feel the warmth of Xue Li's fairy air flowing into his body.

He said "Thank you."

Sydney worried, "You're welcome. You must be careful!"

Zilan looked at Xue Li's worried and uneasy expression, paused, and couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her face.

Xueli's cheeks are very warm, Zilan always feels cold all over because of the cold, and warmth is a very desirable luxury for him.

He looked at Xue Li with nostalgia, as if he wanted to keep her in his heart. After a while, Zi Lan said, "Then I'll go."

Sydney nodded at first, but then, she couldn't help but feel uneasy again.

Big Snow Wolf had already taken a few steps forward, Xueli stood on tiptoe worriedly, grabbed his hand and said, "Da Snow Wolf... Wuwu! You have to come back quickly. If you haven't come back for too long, I will Go find you."

Zi Lan was taken aback when she heard Xue Li addressing him.

Speaking of which, because of the hasty teaching of the fairy language, up to now, Sydney still can't remember his name.

Zilan knew that Sydney didn't understand the danger of the black mist outside, and he probably didn't know what it meant for him to leave, but he had admired Sydney for a long time. If Sydney didn't know his name until he left, it would be too much. sorry.

Zilan was already about to leave, but thinking of this, she turned back.

He closed his eyes, opened the Divine Realm, took out the female sword of his pair of swords, and stuffed it into Xue Li's hand.

Seeing Zilan handing her her weapon, Xueli was stunned and said, "Why are you giving me this?"

Zi Lan said, "For you."

His pair of swords are divided into female swords and male swords. The female sword is engraved with the word "heart" in jade, and the male sword is engraved with the word "shou".

The wolves have always been single-minded, and have the habit of holding pairs of tokens of love. When these two swords are used by one person, it means "to abide by the original heart", but when two people hold them together, it means "to be united and stay together forever".

The wolf king and the wolf queen put in so much effort to create this pair of exquisite double swords. The weapons are not in shape. The wolf king and the wolf queen knew that he could not use such precious weapons every day, so they specially made a pair of double swords. Giving it to him actually meant that he would give one of the swords to his sweetheart in the future.

Xueli was still dizzy after getting the sword, she asked in confusion, "But you gave me the weapon, what are you fighting with?"

Zi Lan replied, "This time I will fight directly in my original form, and I don't need a weapon. You keep this sword, and I will put the other one in my divine realm, and I will never leave it for the rest of my life."

Before Xueli understood what Zilan meant, the next moment, Zilan suddenly stuffed something into her mouth.

Sydney blinked.

What Zilan fed her was the last Tongyu pill.

They are almost able to talk now, the Tongyu Pill is no longer as effective as it was in the beginning, and now it is quite a critical moment, Zilan is afraid that if she does not use it again, she will have no chance to use it again.

The Tongyu Wan melted in her mouth, before Xue Li had time to react, after a burst of bitter sweetness in her mouth, she felt a "buzz" in her head, and her ears seemed to be clearer than ever before.

Xueli didn't know what was going on, and looked at Zilan in surprise and confusion.

At this time, Zi Lan stared at her motionless, with her back straight and her eyes focused. He cleared his throat, and said clearly and solemnly, "I am the son of the wolf king and queen in the Ninth Layer Sky Wolf Realm, and my name is Zilan."

He said, "I adore you."
