My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

When Joey heard this, she felt a mix of laughter and sadness, unsure how to describe it.

Because she knew that derivatives were beings that had to be eliminated.

Once all of Hua Ran's bodies have returned, the derivative forms will be an outrage against nature.

Just like those illusions, even ten flower-colored flowers will eventually disappear.

Hua Ran spoke first.

"I think you'd better leave this place."

"what do you mean?"

Hua Ran didn't answer but instead asked a question.

Do you know about the fake City of the Dead?

The white fox shook his head, but then suddenly paused.

“I’ve heard that woman talk about it, but she never tells me the specifics.”

"There, she wanted my head to take my place, which means if she succeeded, then you were useless and would be killed and discarded."

But she didn't succeed. I don't think she'll replace me with an illusion of my heart, because if she could, she wouldn't be looking for my head.

So……"

The white fox immediately shuddered.

"You mean, she'll contact me again?"

Hua Ran nodded.

"So by staying here, you will harm others, and harm the people you cherish."

This time, Qiao Yi looked at Hua Ran with new respect.

Wow!

Ranran wasn't always so delicate.

There's also such a serious side to him, making it hard to look away.

The system couldn't help but complain again.

"When have you ever looked away? By the way, this flower dyeing is so proper, should I take a picture and screenshot it for you?"

"Um... never mind that, because I feel like Hua Ran is sad, and I don't want to see Hua Ran looking sad."

In reality, Qiao Yi used to hold Hua Ran's hand.

"you're right."

Tears immediately welled up in the white fox's eyes, and he shook his head.

"I... I finally got to live a normal life, and I finally found someone I truly love..."

He pressed his hand to his chest.

"Don't think I'm lying! I know I don't even have a real physical body now, but that feeling is unmistakable!"

Seeing her smile at me makes my heart feel so sweet!

The white fox said he would consider it and didn't need Hua Ran to meddle.

With that, he ran off.

Joey raised her hand and tossed a talisman over.

"If you encounter trouble, or if you want to protect someone, go to the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Bianliang to find me."

There was no reply from the white fox, nor any indication of anything, but he accepted the talisman.

Hua Ran stood to the side with her arms crossed.

"My lady...you don't have the constitution to fall in love with every girl you meet, do you?"

"or……"

Hua Ran couldn't help but mutter, "Does the wife like any guy who has my face?"

Joey reached out and pinched Hua Ran's little nose.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's because... I saw the dark aura on that little girl's forehead."

"Ah this..."

"The blackness has already traveled from the forehead to the nostrils and philtrum, a fatal blow. Even if I force the white fox to leave, something else will still happen..."

Hua Ran's expression turned sour upon hearing this.

But Qiao Yi still leaned close to Hua Ran and whispered, "Don't think about anything else. Let's go home first and see the baby. Life and death are not something I can decide."

Hua Ran also understood.

So he put on a smile.

"Mmm~ Baby! Let's go back to see the baby!"

Under the blue sky and white clouds, Qiao Yi held Hua Ran's hand and walked towards the place she had been looking forward to.

"My lady, when are we going to find my heart? Speaking of which... my heart is in the Shadow Monster's hands now, just thinking about it is disgusting!"

"I think the Taoist nun sister of the Dog God is about to be reincarnated. If we find her, we'll know where that guy is hiding."

A gasp of surprise came from afar.

"Oh dear, I should have stopped that white fox and asked her where the Shadow Monster was!"

"You're overthinking it. Even if he knew, his body would be subject to certain restrictions, just like that giant snake, which exploded and died before he could even speak."

"That's true~ My little one is so smart!"

Before long, Hua Ran and Qiao Yi were back in that dilapidated temple in Bianliang County.

Old Man Qiao and the others were startled when they saw them.

Qiao Dawang stood at the very front of them all and said, "Wait a minute! Let me take a closer look first, lest one swindler leaves and two swindlers arrive."

Joey raised an eyebrow.

"Handsome, who are you?"

Although Joey was looking at the large screen in the system and knew the situation here, she only had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"I am Qiao Dawang!"

Lu Qianye was still troubled by Qiao Dawang's household registration problem.

Since the child's name has already been reported, how do we explain this boy's name to the household registration authorities?

Hua Ran wrinkled her little nose and smelled the aroma.

That's right, it's Qiao Dawang.

But he also lost his temper.

"You, you, you... how can you be so handsome! I knew you would grow up to be a handsome man. I shouldn't have let my wife bring you along in the first place!"

Qiao Dawan sighed and gave up his resistance.

He said to the people behind him, "It can't be fake, this is definitely a vixen, absolutely! Since the vixen is real, then my master must be real too."

When Inugami saw Hanazono's expression, he touched his nose and breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Man Qiao started getting busy again, saying that Qiao Yi hadn't eaten well outside, so he quickly went to make something delicious.

Hua Ran stood there, her mouth slightly open, stunned.

"Hey...don't go, I haven't finished talking yet, hey!"

Late at night, Joey and Hua Ran finally went back into that very safe little house.

Hua Ran pouted.

"My lady, what do you think of Qiao Dawang... do you think he's good-looking?"

Joey raised an eyebrow. This is a death trap!

She already understood the "life-or-death" question: it meant not being able to make a choice within the question.

Neither "good-looking" nor "bad-looking" is the correct answer.

The correct answer is to step outside this circle.

"Whether he's good-looking or not has nothing to do with me. The point is, Ranran, didn't you see the way he looked at you? Qiao Dawan's eyes kept glancing at Lu Qianye; he might have other ideas on his mind~"

Hua Ran listened and thought it made sense.

Seeing this, Joey quickly stretched and changed the subject.

"Ranran, I'm a little sleepy~"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran noticed Qiao Yi's tired expression and quickly laid out the bedding, massaging her shoulders and comforting her as she lay down.

"My lady, you should get some sleep."

Then, Hua Ran nestled in Qiao Yi's arms; it had been a long time since either of them had fallen asleep so quickly.

It means I've truly entered a dream state, literally.

Because the two of them saw their baby together.

Because Hua Ran had once had a dream about her unborn child, she naturally knew that the little baby standing in the clouds was her daughter.

“Baby~ You’ve come to visit Daddy in a dream again? Daddy is fine, don’t worry, Daddy will definitely make sure you are born healthy.”

Joey was still standing there, dumbfounded.

"This is...this is our baby?"

Hua Ran quickly ran back to Qiao Yi's side and pulled her over.

"Yes, my wife, this is our baby. I told you it would be a girl! Isn't she adorable? Doesn't she inherit the best features from both of us?"

Joey was incredibly surprised that she had met her daughter before she was even born.

Until that little bundle of joy called out in a sweet, childish voice, "Mama~"
