Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

In the woods, beside a stream, a big boy was walking along the river with a little girl on his back.

The woods next to it slowly retreated and became sparse.

It was Lan and Dongfang Qinlan.

Because Dongfang Qinlan's ankle was bitten by a poisonous snake, even though Lan sucked out the poison, her ankle still became swollen.

I couldn't walk these days and had to let Lan carry me.

What’s strange is that Dongfang Qinlan’s originally chattering mouth seemed to have suddenly become silent these past few days.

I didn't hear her say a few words along the way, but her heartbeat was very loud.

Lan didn't care. After all, some toxins were still remaining in her body. Although her life was not in danger, her weak body would still react to it.

Maybe it's because of the toxin that made her become like this. Of course, this is good.

But the reality is...

Dongfang Qinlan's mind was still echoing with the face and feeling of Lan sucking out the toxin for her that night, and her cheeks blushed from time to time.

She was on Lan's back, pressed against his body, and could clearly hear his rhythmic heartbeat.

Looking down, you can see the fine hairs on Lan's smooth face. This kind of skin will remain red for a long time if pinched.

"Qin Lan?"

"exist!"

Lan's sudden voice startled Dongfang Qinlan.

"It's okay, don't sleep, we're almost there."

Lan spoke up to check if she was still alive.

She was acting very abnormally along the way. She used to be lively, but now she was silent, making it hard not to worry about her.

Watching the surrounding trees gradually become sparse and slowly be replaced by bamboo forests.

Lan realized that he had finally reached the bamboo forest at the foot of Shenhuoshan Villa.

The last time I saw the trees disappear and the bamboo forest appear was twenty years ago, when I sent Dongfang Gu Yue back by boat.

Now, it is time to send Dongfang Guyue’s daughter back. It is truly a cycle of fate.

“Nothing has changed here…”

Lan muttered to himself.

Just like it was twenty years ago, the bamboo forest is still standing here, but things and people have changed. Twenty years is just a passing cloud for monsters, but it is too long for humans.

I can no longer see the figure cleaning and waiting in the bamboo pavilion.

"Brother Lan...you...have you been here before?"

Because Dongfang Qinlan was close to Lan, she could hear Lan talking to himself.

"Well...I came here a long time ago."

This time, it seemed like he had opened up the conversation again.

"Brother Lan...how did you and Dad know each other?"

"In Longwan, at that time...your father was beaten to death, and I rescued him."

"As now, I escorted him back to be reunited with his wife."

Lan explained.

"Mom? Brother Lan... have you ever seen my mom?"

Dongfang Qinlan said in shock.

She was influenced by her mother who passed away shortly after she was born.

Although she was spoiled since she was a child, she had never seen her mother.

Only in her dreams did that hazy figure make her feel very familiar.

"Well, your mother...is a very gentle person."

Lan's memory was pulled back to the time when he first came into contact with Luo Yinyue.

It was the first time he was hugged, the first time he was needed, the first time he no longer had to kill to survive.

It turns out that you can’t meet someone too amazing when you are young. In the two hundred years before meeting Luo Yinyue, Lan lived in Longwan like a puppet.

In order to avoid being the one who was killed, he killed other lives. If Dongfang Gu Yue had not been saved at that time, he would probably still be living like a puppet in Longwan now.

After that, Lan saw a new world, met new people, had a family, and found people he cherished. His blade was no longer wielded for hunting.

It's a pity... the more you cherish something, the easier it is to lose it...

If he had not saved Dongfang Qinlan by accident, he would probably still be looking for the so-called method of resurrection, or the traces of the Huangquan Clan.

It was not until now that he truly understood what Tushan Rongrong had said.

[“Although Tushan cannot obtain information about the reincarnation of non-continuing people, it is not certain in other places. There may even be a way to revive others.”]

The true meaning of this sentence is in the following:

"I've lived for so long, why not regain my confidence and continue living?"

When Lan thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

Ruolan's guess was correct. Luo Yinyue left behind two descendants.

One was the girl he rescued ten years ago, called 'Miss'.

There is another one, Dongfang Qinlan, whom he is carrying on his back now.

As fate would have it, he accidentally saved the two daughters she left behind.

This might be... a foreshadowing of something.

Since I failed to protect my beloved family, I will protect her descendants.

For all eternity!

Lan is a monster, his life span is more than a thousand years. In that case, he will protect them for a thousand years!

"I've never seen my mother..."

Dongfang Qinlan muttered.

When Lan heard this, ripples arose in his heart and he glanced at Dongfang Qinlan's little face leaning on his shoulder.

She, who used to be fearless and had a determined look in her eyes, now had mist in her eyes, as if pearls were about to fall in the next second.

Lan couldn't help feeling distressed. He held Qin Lan's small body with one hand and touched her big head with the other.

"It's okay... I'm here..."

Unlike before, his tone was now full of tenderness.

"With me here... no one can hurt you!"

Lan said in the middle.

But Qin Lan couldn't hear it, she only heard the words "I'm here..."

The little face turned red in an instant.

"Brother Lan, will you live in Shenhuoshan Villa from now on?"

Her voice was very soft, as if she was speaking only to herself.

"Maybe not..."

Lan said.

Shenhuoshan Villa is known to the outside world as a family of demon hunters. Although the Demon Alliance and the Taoist Alliance now coexist, the relationship between humans and demons is not as life-and-death as it was a hundred years ago.

But it’s not that good. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!

The human race still cannot fully accept the demon race, and most of the demon race also look down on the human race.

The establishment of the Demon Alliance is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

As a monster, Lan's living in Shenhuoshan Villa is bound to cause dissatisfaction among people all over the world, especially the Taoist Alliance.

For Shenhuoshan Villa to establish its prestige, there are only disadvantages and no advantages.

"Then...will we meet again... later?"

Qin Lan's eyes dimmed a lot, but she still asked weakly.

"Yes, I will come whenever you need me."

Lan said in a deep voice.

He planned to live on the top of the mountain and stay with Luo Yinyue at her grave.

This way, not only is it close to Shenhuoshan Villa, but you can also get there as quickly as possible if something happens.

Another thing is... I can accompany Luo Yinyue all the time.

"Then how can I tell you that I need you?"

"Just call my name."

"Oh~Brother Lan."

"I'm here."

. . . . . .

In front of the vast bamboo forest, a bamboo pavilion was built again, built beside the water. It is the dividing line between the Huai River and the bamboo forest, and also the boundary between them.

On top of the bamboo pavilion, there is a woman wearing green clothes and a flower hairpin on her head.

With melancholy eyes, she looked at a group of migrating geese flying in the sky, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.

"Qin Lan... where are you..."

The woman is Dongfang Huaizhu. Ten years have passed, and the beautiful girl from a small family has become a real lady from a wealthy family.

Her every gesture exudes an air of elegance, which contrasts beautifully with the bamboo forest behind her and the Huai River in front of her.

Ever since she encountered a powerful monster while collecting herbs in the wild and got lost with Qin Lan, she immediately returned to Shenhuoshan Villa.

When Dongfang Guyue learned that Qin Lan was missing and her life or death was unknown, he was immediately furious!

He immediately sent his elite disciples and his most proud disciple to the Southern Kingdom to find Qin Lan.

Dongfang Huaizhu wanted to go with him but was rejected and was confined to her home. This was not only to make her reflect on her mistakes, but also a form of protection for her.

If something happened to her again, Dongfang Gu Yue, who already had a hidden illness, might die on the spot.

'Tread, step, step'

Just when Huaizhu was still worrying about whether his sister was dead or alive and where she was, footsteps were heard nearby.

Dongfang Huaizhu immediately became alert and turned around to check, only to see a man in a black cloak walking towards them with a little girl on his back.

“That’s…Qin Lan?!”

When Huaizhu saw the girl the man was carrying, how could she not recognize that she was her long-missed sister!

"Evil spirit?!"

She did not go forward mindlessly, but observed the strange guy carrying Qin Lan on his back.

Huaizhu felt a faint demonic aura from him.

Obviously, it was a monster!

This reminded her of the scene when she and Qin Lan separated, and it was because of the monster with many eyes.

With anger rising, Huaizhu immediately activated his magic power and rushed towards Lan.

With pure Yangyan in hand, any monster will have to avoid it!

"Ok?"

Lan stopped.

His combat EQ and heartbeat were ringing like an alarm bell. Is this, an enemy attack? !

"Brother Lan, why did you stop?"

Dongfang Qinlan noticed that Lan stopped and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Qinlan!"

At this moment, Huaizhu's voice sounded, which surprised Qin Lan very much.

"elder sister!"

'boom! '

At this moment, Dongfang Huaizhu slapped Lan in the heart.

Lan immediately flew backwards, and the pure yang flame was absorbed by the fire-proof bead on his waist.

"Sister! What are you doing?!"

Qin Lan was pulled into Huaizhu's arms, but her eyes were still fixed on Lan.

"Damn youkai! I'm here!"

Dongfang Huaizhu made some hand gestures and his body was immediately surrounded by red-gold flames.

"Sister! No!"

Dongfang Qinlan grabbed Huaizhu's wrist, and because her ankle was still swollen, she couldn't stand steadily.

He directly knocked Huaizhu down.

"Qin Lan, what are you doing?"

"Sister, it was Brother Lan who rescued me and escorted me all the way back."

Qin Lan said anxiously.

"what?"

Dongfang Huaizhu was a little surprised. Would the monster escort humans back?

"Brother Lan, are you okay?"

Qin Lan looked in Lan's direction anxiously, but all she saw was a pool of blood, with no trace of Lan.

"Hey, where's Brother Lan?"

"Qin Lan, I'm glad you're okay. I was so worried about you."

Huaizhu hugged Qin Lan and expressed his concern.

"Sister, me too..."

Qin Lan felt the embrace of her sister and did not go looking for Lan again.

In the depths of the bamboo forest that the two sisters had never seen, a black figure saw this scene, smiled slightly, and disappeared on the spot.
