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

Joey immediately turned around.

But the distance was too far, and she couldn't see clearly; she could only see that there was indeed a man standing there.

However, she knew that Hua Ran was absolutely right.

Foxes have better eyesight than humans, and besides, Hua Ran is a fox spirit.

"It's about time. After all, the guy with the white fox ears said that the male ghost is in Yunxian Village. If he's not in a village where time has passed, then he's only in this village."

Joey then looked at Inugami.

“I brought you here because I thought you might be destined to meet that Taoist nun again. And now it is indeed so, but the timing is not right. So now, you stay in this village and protect her while we go to solve the mystery.”

Inugami suppressed his anger and ultimately said nothing, only nodding.

When the girl woke up again, the dog god was just sitting beside her, saying, "You're awake. Did you hurt yourself? We were merchants who had mistakenly entered Unsen Village. We saw you fall down the hillside as soon as we came in..."

The girl shook her head, only to feel pain in her neck.

Could it be that the fox ears and the severed finger were just a dream I had after I fell?

She looked at Hua Ran again, and Hua Ran no longer had the broken fox ears on her head.

Hua Ran covered her face with her sleeve and leaned against Qiao Yi.

"Little sister, don't look at him like that. He already has a wife~"

The girl quickly stood up and said that she had overstepped her bounds.

Joey asked the girl to find her a place to stay.

They even offered snacks from outside as payment to lure the girl into telling the truth.

In short, the girl doesn't remember anything from before, but she has a vague feeling that she has been here since she has memories.

When Joey and his group entered the village, they found it was full of young people, none of whom were more than thirty years old.

This stands in stark contrast to the elderly people in the neighboring village.

But the words he spoke carried a sense of age.

For example, the young lady next to the girl would call Joey and her group "kids".

“Girl, you want to stay here? Sure, you can stay as long as you want. Oh, I don’t want the fine grains you give us. We have enough to eat and drink here. What would we need your stuff for? You’ll have to go out eventually. This village is quite far from the nearest town. Keep the fine grains for when you leave.”

In short, the conclusion after an afternoon of this activity is that the people in this village are kind!

People become younger when they do good deeds.

For example, the way they talk to the young lady in this house makes her seem several years younger.

As night fell, Hua Ran, her long black hair flowing freely, carried a basin of water and said, "My lady, come on, soak your feet and relax~ I've washed them all clean, then we can... hehe, we can do anything together~"

"cough!"

Joey rubbed her kidneys.

"If I remember correctly, we just... we just... did it yesterday, right?"

"Hmm...that's right, but my wife, it's a rare opportunity for us to be alone. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"

Joey quickly took the basin of water and washed her feet herself.

He said, "But aren't you nervous being in this strange village?"

"Don't be nervous. The wooden planks in the room they gave us are very thick, which is quite soundproof. More importantly, it's spacious, unlike the small, dilapidated temple, which is basically just one big room divided into several smaller rooms. And the people here are very nice. Unlike the previous village, where time seemed to pass and there was a sense of oppression from the evil people."

Qiao Yi coughed again. At this moment, Hua Ran had already scooped her feet out and carefully wiped them in her arms.

Then he simply pushed the basin away.

She climbed onto the bed and lay there in an extremely seductive pose, blinking her foxy, alluring eyes.

He pulled his trousers up to his knees again, revealing his fair calves, and wrapped one of his calves with his reddish-brown fox tail.

"My lady~ Come to sleep~"

"I'm not a child...you don't need to coax me like that..."

"Then..."

Hua Ran tossed her long, black hair back and said, "You rascal, come to sleep~"

"puff!"

Joey felt like she was being superfluous in responding to that comment.

I am a child, and I need to get enough sleep.

The system then said, "That 'dead bastard' seems to be one of the four flower dyes..."

"I can see it."

Qiao Yi rubbed her forehead, but Hua Ran felt somewhat uncomfortable at that moment.

I feel physically tired and have some tinnitus.

My head is spinning and my vision is blurry.

He shook his head, remembering how he felt when he first encountered his severed limb.

Could it be the work of a severed limb?

Hua Ran didn't take it seriously and patted the bed again, "Goodness, look how dizzy I am. I might have chest pain soon. I need yang energy to circulate throughout my body~"

Joey raised an eyebrow.

"Really? I seem to remember that once the yang energy flows through the whole body, it can last for several days!"

"Ouch...ouch, it just happened...my chest is starting to hurt! Even if you don't consummate our marriage, you should at least kiss me and hug me, right?"

The system told Joey to stay calm.

Now we're being manipulated!

Joey answered consciously, "Okay, I'm going up."

"What? Honey, did you even hear what I said? You've been completely captivated! Ahhh, you've blurted out your true feelings again!"

Joey cleared her throat.

"No, what I mean is that it's not wrong to appease them a little. They've already changed the standard to kisses and hugs."

Actually, Joey was a little awkward too.

She felt a lump in her nose, the kind that's caused by inflammation, and it hurt when touched.

My finger joints also hurt a bit.

However, since she is born with a purely Yang constitution, would she also suffer from rheumatoid arthritis or other heat-related ailments?

Qiao Yi went to the bed, cupped Hua Ran's little face, and kissed her.

The two then kissed.

It's very simple, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Hua Ran immediately pushed Qiao Yi away and coughed, tilting her head to the side.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough!"

Hana was coughing so badly that she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Joey patted Hua Ran's back.

"What's going on all of a sudden?"

She got out of bed again to pour water for the flowers.

Hua Ran wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was surprised to find that her voice was very nasal when she opened her mouth to speak.

"My lady...I'm in pain..."

Upon hearing this, Joey asked again, "Can souls catch colds too?"

"What is a cold?"

"Ah...it's just a cold!"

Hua Ran shook her head and said that it had never happened before.

When Qiao Yi kissed Hua Ran's forehead again, Hua Ran suddenly started coughing.

"strangeness……"

Hua Ran pounded on the bed with her hand, showing a little temper.

"Why do I feel like coughing when I kiss you, and why is my dizziness getting worse? I can't even handle a kiss on the forehead..."

Joey immediately assumed that Hua Ran had a cold.

She was secretly pleased with herself.

Today, my kidney was saved!

Then she hugged Hua Ran and slept, gently patting his back and whispering in his ear.

"You've caught a cold. You've been through a lot today, so it's normal to catch a chill. Just stay warm and get some sleep. You'll feel better once you sweat it out."

Hua Ran could only nod.

But what they didn't know was that a line of children was watching them from a small patch of clouds in the sky.
