Fox Demon Jade Face

Fang Quan looked at the stone in his hand, then thought of his own name, and couldn't help but say a few words, but he immediately realized that there was something wrong with his words.

"well?"

Landu couldn't help but feel curious when listening to what Fang Quan said. Although she didn't quite understand what she said, she still couldn't help but wonder.

"Oh, it means the girl is very beautiful..."

Fang Quan felt a little embarrassed. He explained the "meaning" to Landu guiltily, and the latter nodded doubtfully.

"Then Fang...Quan, are you praising me?"

Landu looked up at Fang Quan and said with a smile. The gleam in her eyes made Fang Quan dazed for a moment.

When he heard Landu calling out his name directly, he was a little at a loss, and suddenly remembered to change the subject.

"Miss Landu, please forgive me for any offense I caused you just now."

Fang Quan didn't dare to continue talking to Landu, because if he continued, he didn't know what would happen. So when he realized that something was wrong, he changed the subject in time.

"It's okay, Fang Quan, I still want to thank you, but... um!"

Landu was about to continue speaking, but suddenly, she seemed to sense something. She immediately turned her head and looked into the depths of the forest. After half a second, she became a little flustered.

"Oh no, mother is looking for me!"

Landu was very worried. If her mother found out that she had secretly run away without telling her, she might be scolded to death.

"Well, Fang Quan, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Bye!"

When Landu thought of Lan Xi's instructions to her, she immediately wanted to go back to the woods, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Fang Quan and ran into the depths of the woods with the civet cat.

"Ah? Miss Landu..."

Fang Quan looked at Landu, who was chatting with him happily, and suddenly left in a panic. He was confused for a moment, and looked down at the stone in his hand with Landu's name engraved on it. He squeezed it tightly, and then put it in his arms.

"It's really... interesting..."

Fang Quan muttered to himself as he looked at the direction where Landu left, and then he remembered the purpose of his coming to the woods.

Looking at the bamboo shoots that had just emerged around him, he also squatted down and picked the bamboo shoots with a hatchet and his hands.

……

"Hurry up! Little Tanuki!"

Looking at Landu, in order to get back to the center of the forest before Lan Xi finds her, she is now running back as fast as she can. Even the raccoon cat that she couldn't catch up with before is now left behind by her.

"Meow!"

Seeing this, the raccoon cat also sped up and ran back quickly following Landu's speed.

Landu had said before that if Lan Xi caught him, he would have to attack her first.

“Ah, here we are!”

Finally, with the unremitting efforts of one man and one cat, they finally left the south side of the forest and returned to the center of the forest.

"Huh, luckily mother hasn't arrived yet..."

After Landu arrived at the center of the forest, she immediately stopped to rest. She ran so far in one breath that even though she was a demon, she found it a little too much to bear.

"Meow~"

The civet cat also collapsed next to Landu. It turned over very dissatisfiedly, but in the next moment it was stunned, and then its body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Humph, it's all your fault, Xiaoli. If you hadn't tempted me, I wouldn't have gone to the south..."

"Oh ~ going south?"

Just when Landu was congratulating herself on her good luck, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Mother...mother..."

When Landu heard the familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for several seconds, she turned around stiffly and looked at Lan Xi, who was staring at her with her hands on her hips.

As for the raccoon cat, it has been lying on the ground pretending to be dead since it discovered Lan Xi was here...

Lan Xi looked at the innocent look of little Landu in front of her and was too lazy to say anything for a moment. After educating him, she didn't say anything else.

"By the way, little Landu, did you encounter anything when you went out?"

After educating Landu, Lan Xi stared at Landu for a while and asked again.

"Ah, no, no..."

Landu was also stunned when she heard Lan Xi's question, and then she immediately thought of Fang Quan's figure in her mind. However, she thought that if Lan Xi knew that she had contact with humans outside, she would be furious.

So she quickly denied it, but even though she had never lied to anyone, her lies were full of loopholes.

"Little Landu..."

Lan Xi couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Landu who was trying hard to lie and deceive her.

She stroked little Landu's head with her hand and stopped asking him to answer her questions.

"Xiao Landu, you have to understand that since you have chosen to go out, you must prepare for the worst..."

Lan Xi said earnestly that she no longer wanted to restrain Landu. Since Landu had already seen the outside world, it would be a bit disgusting to do these meaningless things.

However, when she looked at Xiao Landu who was deeply remorseful, she still felt a little confused. Xiao Landu was really too naive...

"Well, I understand, mother..."

When Landu saw that Lan Xi was no longer restraining her but reminding her instead, she was actually a little happy for a moment, as she was finally able to go out and play openly.

"How could you understand..."

Lan Xi looked at Landu who was very happy, and she also knew that Landu had no idea what she meant.

All of this will only be understood after Landu experiences it himself.

Lan Xi looked at Landu for a while, and after giving him another instruction, he left and went home.

"Alas, it seems that mother is really a little angry, but at least, I can go out and play in the future."

Landu felt a little guilty when she saw the direction Lan Xi left, but she immediately became energetic again because Lan Xi had run away to play by herself!

"Hey! Xiaoli! Stop pretending to be dead, you are so mean!"

After feeling happy, Landu turned around and suddenly saw the raccoon cat still pretending to be dead on the ground. She was immediately furious.

You little fox, you didn’t tell me that your mother was coming just now, and you just pretended to be dead, right?

See how I deal with you!

Suddenly, the laughter of a man and a cat could be heard in the woods again.

……

"Well, these bamboo shoots should be enough!"

In the bamboo forest that Landu had just left, Fang Quan was very pleased looking at the full bamboo basket of bamboo shoots. Looking at the injuries on his hands from picking bamboo shoots, he also felt that it was not easy to get this basket of bamboo shoots.

He took out the stone in his arms and looked at it again. Finally, he looked towards the depths of the forest and began to pack it up.

"call--"

Fang Quan put the hatchet into the bamboo basket together with the bamboo shoots, then adjusted its position. After taking a few deep breaths, he picked up the bamboo basket and slowly walked in the direction he came from.

"mother……"
