Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

Inside the tower, everything was blood red.

Xie Linyuan's healed wounds reopened, but his eyes, unlike before which they were like a stagnant pool, now revealed a sharp edge.

The dead enemies around him were all like puddles of mud. After he painstakingly killed the last one, the corpses all turned into streams of quicksand, drifting in the air and disappearing.

His wounds, however, did not disappear.

The ancient voice exclaimed, "Excellent!"

Xie Linyuan's eyes were still reeling from the fierce battle, and he involuntarily gripped his longsword tighter upon hearing the earlier sounds.

"Being too fixated on something is never a good thing."

"But since you have a connection with the fox clan, I will make an exception and allow you to enter the Treasure Pavilion to take away a treasure."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chaos before his eyes seemed to be cleaved open, revealing a path that could only be passed by one person at a time.

Xie Linyuan thanked him and stepped onto it.

As he was about to enter the Wanbao Pavilion, the voice added softly, "There is a Heart-Seeing Mirror inside; young friend, why not take a look?"

Xie Linyuan took a step and entered the Wanbao Pavilion.

As soon as I stood still, before I could even observe my surroundings, I saw a mirror that looked both real and illusory floating in the center of the Wanbao Pavilion.

The mirror surface was smooth, yet it rippled automatically without any wind. The two characters “窥心” (peeping into the heart) were engraved in small seal script in the lower right corner.

Xie Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't want to go, but remembering the hint in the voice just now, he paused and slowly walked towards the mirror.

He stopped when he was about two or three steps away from the mirror.

His fingertips trembled slightly for some reason, as if... he was certain that what he was supposed to see would turn out differently.

He looked up.

On the flowing mirror surface, ripples first appeared, then slowly dissipated, and a splash of blood suddenly appeared. Xie Linyuan saw himself standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, his eyes filled with the bewilderment of having avenged his great grudge.

Xie Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

What he saw was exactly what he longed for deep within his own heart.

But as he turned around, he paused out of the corner of his eye.

The bloody scene dissipated like smoke, revealing a face etched in my memory.

Her clothes were half undone, and she stretched out her jade-like hand towards him. She slightly parted her lips, and although he couldn't hear her voice, he could tell what she wanted to say. She was saying—"Xie Linyuan".

Xie Linyuan's pupils contracted as he stared incredulously at the person in the mirror.

absurd.

*****

On the flying boat, a handsome cultivator squatted by a small stove without any regard for his image, with a plump little white fox squatting at his feet.

A net woven from spiritual energy was placed on the small stove, and on the net, a dissected chicken was emitting a burnt smell.

The little fox twitched its nose: "Dad, can you smell something burning?"

While trying to control the fire, Yu Chaojun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a flustered manner, "Father has already turned the fire down very low, how could it be burnt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a plume of black smoke rose from the roast chicken.

Little fox: "..."

She sighed, looked at her wise and powerful father, and said, "Father, have you... turned the page?"

Yu Chaojun immediately turned the tables.

The half of the chicken that had been facing the flames was now completely charred.

Yu Zhen's vision blurred, and the charred roast chicken had disappeared. Her father casually took out another roast chicken and placed it on the small stove in front of her: "...There was something wrong with that chicken just now, sweetie, don't be afraid. Daddy will get a new one, it will definitely taste better than the last one!"

Yu Zhen couldn't bear to hurt her father, so she could only say, "Okay, Father! I believe you!"

Then she watched as her father accidentally burned more than a dozen chickens.

A handsome young man had a layer of dust on his face. He had become increasingly competitive without realizing it, but because he had failed too many times, he dared not look at the cute girl's face. He looked at the chicken's face with a livid expression, as if he were looking at an enemy.

"Dad... I suddenly don't really want to eat roast chicken anymore..."

The little fox said quietly.

Yu Chaojun: "No, Father must bake one for my good daughter today!"

But Dad, your cooking skills really seem terrible.

"Senior... what's going on?"

Xie Linyuan?

Yu Zhen's ears twitched, and she looked towards the source of the voice, her eyes lighting up: "Xie Linyuan! You're out? How are you feeling? Did you get anything good?"

Xie Linyuan nodded and said, "I've gained something."

Then he squatted down and glanced at the roast chicken that was about to burn, and at Senior Yu's ashen face.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior. Leave the roasting chicken to me."

Thinking of Xie Linyuan's cooking skills, the little fox nodded frantically: "Yes, yes! Dad, you're tired too, let Xie Linyuan do the baking!"

She was afraid that her own stock wouldn't be enough for her dad to go crazy with!

Yu Chaojun coughed lightly and made way for her: "In that case, you can do it. Zhenzhen is really hungry, so hurry up."

Xie Linyuan nodded and took over Yu Chaojun's position. With a flick of his hand, various seasonings floated in mid-air and were evenly sprinkled onto the roast chicken according to his wishes.

The smell of burning meat in the air was replaced by a strange aroma of meat, and Yu Zhen felt her mouth water, wishing she could swallow it whole.

Yu Chaojun stood a few steps away, his hands behind his back, his face calm and undisturbed as if he were looking at the distant scenery, but his clenched fists revealed his turbulent inner state.

Yu Chaojun: ...Why is it that this kid can just casually roast something?!
