The moonlight on the rainy night casts a thin veil over the earth, highlighting the pitiful appearance of the young man lying on the ground.

A slim figure appeared behind Lei Dianshi and held an umbrella for the young man.

Despite the influence of the invisible force, the raindrops could not hit Lei Dian Shi at all.

Noticing the overlapping shadows on the ground, Lei Dianshi turned his head suddenly.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Lei Dianshi had an unbelievable guess in his heart.

The evening breeze blew the woman's clothes. The little white fox escaped from Lei Dian Shi's caress and jumped onto the woman's shoulder.

Lei Dianshi didn't care about it and forced himself to stand up.

"who are you?"

Raidenshi stumbled back a few steps, protecting the bodies of Zhen and Ying.

No matter who the woman in front of you is, it is never nice to talk to her while kneeling.

Moreover, Lei Dian Shi will not allow anyone to infringe upon the remains of Zhen and Ying.

"Ashi."

The woman did not answer Lei Dianshi's question, but called out Lei Dianshi's name, then flicked her fingers lightly, and the oil-paper umbrellas in her hands lightly but quickly passed over Lei Dianshi, covering his true figure and flashing a red light.

A magical thing happened. Zhenying's body disappeared out of thin air, and then the oil-paper umbrella flew back into the woman's hand.

"What are you doing? Sister Sonoko!"

That's right. Combined with the familiar address and tone of the person before him, and his striking resemblance to Sonoko, he could almost be sure his guess was true. However, facing Sonoko's sudden action, Lei Dian Shi waited until the oil-paper umbrella returned to Atom's hand before reacting.

"Please introduce myself again. I am the current patriarch of the Baichen clan. My name is Qianhu Yuan."

Although what Qianhuyuan said surprised Lei Dianshi, Lei Dianshi still gritted his teeth and asked:

"Sister Sonoko, do you really like to avoid my questions?"

Even though the identities of both parties have undergone tremendous changes, Lei Dianshi still likes to call Qianhu Garden by its old name.

"Don't worry, I will answer all your questions."

"You asked me why? Well, I said I was helping you protect the remains of your two dear sisters. Do you believe me?"

Qianhuyuan asked back, emphasizing the word "sister".

"I believe."

In fact, even if Lei Dian Shi didn't believe it, it would be useless. He didn't know what Qianhu Garden was trying to do, but if it was possible... would that kind of thing really work?

Qianhuyuan seemed quite satisfied with Lei Dianshi's answer and added:

"This umbrella creates a small space within itself, which can temporarily protect the body and make it immortal."

At the same time, perhaps to relieve some of the burden, Thousand Fox Garden stretched out its eight fox tails, lifting her up in the air. Her relaxed posture was out of place in this ruin.

"Anything else you want to ask?"

"of course."

Lei Dianshi felt waves of fatigue and aches throughout his body, and sat down on the muddy ground without a care in the world.

"I suppose you were there when those monsters invaded the village?"

"Why didn't you save them?"

"They clearly believe in the Baichen clan so much!"

"You clearly have the strength to easily defeat those monsters!"

Lei Dianshi's words were filled with excitement.

“I’m not in the village.”

This is how Qianhuyuan explained it.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

"It's just a coincidence."

"Do you think I believe it?"

"You have to believe it."

Qianhuyuan's uncompromising words made Lei Dianshi shut up.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Lei Dianshi's eyes.

The trembling lips and clenched hands all showed that Lei Dianshi was trying his best to suppress his sadness.

After a long while, Lei Dian Shi adjusted his emotions and asked again:

"One last question, do you have any way to save Zhen, Ying and the others?"

"I beg you to give me a real answer. They have lived with you for so long."

"I don't believe you really don't care about their lives. I don't believe that the Sonoko-san I know is such a cold-hearted person."

"So, please, please save them, okay?"

Lei Dianshi supported himself on the ground with his hands and lowered his head, looking extremely dejected, but this did not move Qianhuyuan's cold face.

"Life and death are destiny. I cannot reverse death."

"Like this?"

Lei Dianshi's tone seemed to have calmed down a lot.

"Are they really dead?"

Qianhuyuan seemed to have heard some interesting answer, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"if not?"

"Why did you save me then?"

Lei Dianshi asked a strange question.

If Qianhuyuan is really just a village doctor and asked him to bring a child back from the wild to raise, then there would naturally be no problem.

But Qianhuyuan’s real identity is the Fox Lord of the Baichen clan, so he definitely did this not for fun, but for other purposes.

"That's a really hard question to answer. Just think of it as me just thinking about finding a 'toy' on a whim."

"Toy, what a sad answer."

"Then let me change the question."

"As a Fox Lord, you wouldn't be unaware of Zhenying's true identity, would you?"

"You must be well aware of their talents. Their future is promising!"

Lei Dianshi almost roared out these words.

"The future is promising? Yes, the future is promising. What a good reason."

Qianhuyuan shook his head and laughed.

Lei Dian Shi seemed to have thought of something.

"Are you afraid they will threaten your position?"

Qianhu Yuan maintained a faint smile and just stared at Lei Dian Shi.

Lei Dianshi felt a chill running through his body.

This was so different from the future he remembered.

Thousands of years later, the relationship between the two Fox Lords of the Baichen clan and Zhenying is like that of sisters!

Could it be that everything was disrupted because of the flapping of the butterfly wings of Lei Dian Shi?

A cold wind blew by, and Lei Dian gave him goose bumps all over his body.

No, it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense at all!

He is the biggest suspect!

Don't trust everything Qianhuyuan says.

Lei Dianshi tried hard to support his body which had been tossed around badly in the cold night, and reached out to grab Qianhu Yuan's clothes.

Qianhu Garden would certainly not let him succeed. With just a simple small move, Lei Dianshi almost fell to the ground.

"Sister Sonoko, your answer is full of loopholes!"

“It’s always been like this!”

"I can be a chess piece, but I want to know which piece I am!"

Lei Dian Shi suddenly swung his fist and hit Qian Huyuan's abdomen.

However, even Qianhuyuan didn't make a move in this attack. The little white fox on his shoulder flicked its tail, and Lei Dianshi flew backwards.

After his body fell to the ground, Lei Dianshi felt dizzy, his blood was churning, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Although Lei Dian Shi knew that his attack was like an ant trying to shake a tree, he didn't expect that even a little fox could easily defeat him.

Shouldn't you say that I'm just a chess piece, unable to resist or disobey?

"Heartbroken" is the best way to describe Lei Dianshi's mood at the moment.

Qianhuyuan came in front of Lei Dianshi.

A strange force made Lei Dian Shi float and at the same time healed his injuries.

Qianhuyuan lifted Lei Dianshi's chin and brought him closer to him, breathing on Lei Dianshi's face.

There was a mysterious light in her eyes, as if she could see through all of Lei Dianshi's thoughts.

Lei Dianshi frowned, his cheeks slightly red. He wanted to break free from Qianhu Yuan's hand, but found that he seemed to be imprisoned.

He looked at Qianhu Garden:

"In the end what you want?"

Qianhuyuan ran his fingers across Lei Dianshi's cheek.

"Make a deal with me."

"Okay, they live, no, hehe..."

There was a gleam in Lei Dianshi's eyes. He certainly knew that this deal was definitely not a good thing.

But the weak have no choice, there are things he must do.

"You know I won't veto it. Tell me, what's the deal?"

"Go to the Tengu clan and help me obtain a treasure."

"The name of the treasure is—the Crown of Wisdom!"

Lei Dianshi began to search his memory.

In previous games, this thing could be used to increase the character's talent level.

In this real world, does Qianhuyuan want to use this thing to improve his own strength?

Lei Dianshi didn't think much about it. No matter what the Crown of Wisdom was used for, since it was a treasure, it was definitely not something he could obtain easily.

This is a rather troublesome and fatal transaction.

Qianhuyuan didn't care what Lei Dianshi thought. He withdrew his power and Lei Dianshi fell to the mud.

"I'll provide you with some small help."

The little white fox on Qianhuyuan's shoulder jumped down, but he seemed to hate the filth on the ground and chose a slightly cleaner place - Lei Dian Shi's head - to lie down.

"She will lead you to the Tengu clan's base..."

The words fell softly, and finally became ethereal, disappearing into a stream of light as the Thousand Fox Garden turned into a stream.

Lei Dian Shi stared at the sun rising in the east after the Thousand Fox Garden disappeared, and remained speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until he realized there was a little fox lying on his head that he slowly spoke:

"Master Fox Fairy, please show me the way."

……

"Chess pieces?"

"I am just a bigger chess piece."

"I really hope that one day you can jump off this chessboard and become the chess player."

Qianhu Garden looked up at the sky, which was the root of everything.
