The two-story wooden house was wrapped in spider webs and was almost deserted. I cleaned it silently, just as if the people in the house were still living.

Yun Jin and I live in Zhuoyun Xiaozhu. With the help of Cang Rong Sword, I gradually recovered and had no effect except for occasional chest tightness. Life was dull, so dull that I had time to constantly recall everything that happened in the past. Since I returned to the forest of depression, my mother's figure often appeared in my mind. The bloody scenes appeared again and again in my dreams. I seemed to see my mother's soul entangled in pain, and she was in peace in the chaos. The repeated fears made me begin to have to fulfill my oath again.

I began to search for traces of monsters again, kill them, and eat their true energy. Sometimes I felt that this seemed just a vicious cycle. Even though I had not yet lost my true energy, in essence, what is the difference between me and those demons? But my mother's sealed soul always makes my heart uneasy. How could I let her continue to suffer in chaos and not be able to reincarnate?

I slowly discovered that only by wearing the Cang Rong Sword around me could I suppress my demon poison. Once I left for too long, my chest began to hurt again, so apart from going out to kill the monsters, I could only stay at Zhuoyun Xiaozhu most of the time.

"Yun Jin, it would be great if you could talk to me."

Life alone is too light, and there are always some worries in my heart but no one can express them. At first I would tell Yun Jin that it would rely on me to act coquettishly to show comfort, but how can one-sided communication relieve the sorrow? Yun Jin seemed to know that he could not help me relieve my sorrow, and lay there sobbed with grievances all the time. Even if I caught the monster it liked to eat the most, it couldn't be happy. I had to touch its back and comfort it. In fact, it had already given me great help.

Gradually I discovered that Yunjin was not like an ordinary spirit beast. It seemed that it could sense my emotions and even accompany me to be sad. Although it could not speak, there were also people's joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness. Sometimes, in order to make me happy, it would also use plants to make some strange things give to me, just like a friend, caring about everything about me.

Although Yunjin cannot speak, it can always understand what I say and understand what I mean. I suddenly felt very kind to it, as if there were many words to say to it, but I don’t know where to start. I have vaguely guessed that it should have a close connection with Aokita, or its previous owner was Aokita, so when it touched my Holy Spirit Spring, it suddenly became quiet. It should also recognize me as Aokita. The little memories of Aokita buried in my heart also ripples from time to time. When I calmed down, I suddenly wanted to know Aokita’s past and what connection she had with me.

So I gradually got used to the life of Zhuoyun Xiaozhu and began to fall in love with this special stability. However, I always had a thought in my heart, that is, the owner of the wooden house. I cleaned every day, but every day it was just a desolation of the room. The nearby orchards gradually grew weeds, winter went and spring came, and even the buds were slowly dying. I couldn't help but wonder, is the owner of this house really not coming back? Or are all the memories of my own fantasy, where did the poison in me come from? Or, like Xiaolu, he also lost his memory, so I can't remember everything between me and him?

On this day, I came to the cottage again and sorted out the furnishings in the house as usual. In fact, who would move those things in a house without anyone living in?

"I was poisoned and could survive until now? It's amazing!"

A sound that made people feel enchanting when they heard it came from outside the house. This sound was extremely clear in my memory. The fox demon, she, was her, who almost lost my life.

I didn't plan to go out to check it out, because the sound came from the air again, and she didn't dare to appear in front of me at all. But her sudden appearance really surprised me. There seemed to be nothing she coveted on me.

"You still dare to come?"

"Why don't you dare to come? Since I didn't kill you, the last time I did not have to be afraid, of course I don't have to be afraid."

"Then why not come directly to me?" I said coldly.

"Hmph..." She chuckled, still as charming as she was, "I'm just blaming me for being too beautiful, so beautiful that all women will be jealous. I'm not afraid of you taking revenge, I'm afraid you can't stand it. I'm more beautiful than you."

Such excuses only sound funny.

"Then what are you doing?"

"How about we make a deal?"

Is this the measurement of the fox demon?

"You might as well tell you that last time, the bad woman named You Ruojun forced me to do it. However, I wouldn't let her be so satisfied. She wanted me to poison you, so I just wanted to take a turn to let the man she cares most be with other women. So, it's a bargain. Otherwise, how could I be willing to poison that man who looks so pretty? I would rather enjoy it myself."

"You really gave me such a big 'benefit'?"

"I know you are not stupid. No matter what, we are the same kind of people, so we naturally have to take care of each other." She smiled again, but the smile could not hide a smell.

"What kind of deal do you want to do with me?" I felt a little impatient.

"Okay, I won't go around with you anymore. I want you to help me deal with that bad woman You Ruojun."

"Treat her? Why?"

"Because, she is a demon hunter."

"Catching the Demon?" I was surprised, but it seemed that this only verified some of my guesses.

"Has she not used the demon-transforming water to deal with you?" The fox demon's voice began to feel a little timid. Naturally, when it comes to the demon-transforming water, there would be no fear without demons.

The water of transforming into demons... The strange green liquid suddenly appeared in my mind, and the special rotten smell. Yes, since You Ruojun has the water of transforming into demons, it is not surprising that she is a monster hunter. But my association seems to be more than that. I suddenly became interested, because if I really found You Ruojun, I seemed to be able to find many answers. For example, the source of the water of transforming into demons, and for example, the mortal who has always made me unforgettable - Meng Yunzhong...

"With your practice and spiritual power, the demon-turning water should not pose too much threat to you, right?"

A brief silence.

"But I'm still a little interested in your dealings. Why don't you come out and talk to me in person?"

There was another brief silence, but the surroundings of the wooden house began to become a little blurred, as if the air around them was shaking, and then a vague figure gradually took shape.

First, it was a soft curve, then it became an illusion with a rough outline, and then, it was a pair of deep eyes that could make people fall into it. When I was still observing those eyes carefully, the fox demon had already appeared in front of me. She stood beside the door of the wooden house with charming twists, her pink mouth slightly raised, but there was no wrinkle on her snow-white and flawless skin. It seemed that she was born with this charming smile.

.She still had part of her legs hidden outside, and the poke of her head looked extremely dazzling through the sun. She was indeed very beautiful. Whether it was a man or a woman, she was inevitably moved by her appearance. Adjectives such as closing the moon and shy flowers, sinking fish and falling geese, for her, she could only be touched by the fur, as if there were no appropriate words in this world to describe her beauty. I am afraid that even the gods would envy the perfect face she had.

However, she suddenly reminded me of a person, a person who also has extraordinary beauty and charming figure. However, as soon as this person walked into my memories, I suddenly felt a lot of resentment and pain. This person was the soft wing that Nalan made me remember again. She used her beautiful appearance to win my favor, her weak body to win my sympathy, and her pitiful expression to win my trust. Finally, she gave me a heavy blow and turned my fate into another direction. Seeing the charm of the fox demon, I suddenly felt that this beauty and charm were just disguises, which made me very unhappy. So, I tested my face and didn't want to linger in this beautiful face anymore. Could it be that trading is a common trick for such a woman?

"Oh, why don't you watch it? Others get fascinated by watching it!" She seemed to be a little surprised at my reaction. Indeed, no one would turn their eyes off her when they see her.

"Hmph." I snorted coldly, "I just want to be interested in your deal."

"If you kill You Ruojun for me, I will tell you a secret."

After hearing her words, I almost laughed out loud: "The conditions for your transaction do not seem to attract me so much."

"Is that?" She twisted her body and walked into the house step by step, but the charming smile on her face never disappeared. "What if this secret is related to that man and you?"

I stopped my smile, and my heart suddenly thumped very fast. What's the secret between him and me?

The fox demon smiled softly again and continued, "Forget it, I'll suffer a little, let me tell you a secret. This is about you and your mother."

My mother’s secret?

I changed from the throbbing just now to the horror. What kind of secrets are she talking about? Or, these things are never related to the word "secret". I was confused for a moment, and I had the urge to bring You Ruojun to her immediately, because I really wanted to know what secrets she knew.

"How? This condition will satisfy you?"

She looked at me charmingly, and I stared at her tightly, but my heart was already surging, and a series of vague questions began to entangle.

She naturally saw my abnormality and was able to guess my final decision. So, when I just came back to my senses from my chaotic thoughts, her figure once again turned back into an illusion and disappeared in front of me, but a distant voice came from outside the house:

"You Ruojun lives in Mengjun Villa in a nearby town. If you want to find me, you will come to the orchard beside the wooden house."

I calmed down and felt a little pain in my chest. The demon poison began to attack again. I realized that I had been away from Zhuoyun Xiaozhu for a long time.

"Yun Jin, do you think I should do this? Will there be any consequences if this continues? My mother once told me that demons cannot be with mortals. Moreover, You Ruojun is a demon hunter after all, and I don't know how capable she is. Will fighting with her rashly?

When I returned to Xiaozhu, Yun Jin rushed to me excitedly, but I couldn't be happy at all. When I thought of the secret mentioned by the fox demon and her charming smile, I felt complicated guessing in my heart.

I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, but the two secrets that the fox demon said could not be removed. Yun Jin didn't know why I was worried, so he could only hum a dull moan, as if he was very anxious. The crisp sound of flowing water around Zhuoyun Xiaozhu turned into heart-wrenching restlessness at this time.
