Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 18 Holding the Yingying Immortal Zhizhi in vain
  The setting sun reflects on the mountain.

The little fireflies that had faded away from Lu Chenran's body slowly emerged as the words fell, floating quietly around him.

The fireflies under the stone monument are getting bigger and bigger, and their purple petals are gradually stretching and lengthening, swaying slightly in the wind and snow, as if they are attracting the scattered fireflies.

"Tap-tap-"

There were messy footsteps behind him. It was the escort from the caravan who followed Snow Tiger:
  "Little Prince"

"It's the young prince. The young prince is indeed there!"

"Xiao Wang."

Li Zijun turned to look at them, stretched out his index finger and made a "shush" motion, stopping the shouts of the escorts.

Look at the eye-catching snow tiger that is more than ten feet long. It has already been on all fours, hiding its roar, and squatting obediently on the snow. The tiger's eyes are staring at Mr. Lu without blinking.

The red clouds set off the heavy snow in the sky.

The firefly mushroom floated slowly into the air, pulled out its roots deep in the ground, and left the land where it had grown for several decades.

In the blood-like afterglow, the dim mountain forest suddenly appeared a little bit of luster, one cluster after another. Then there were a series of fireflies all over the sky, embedded in the red sky.

Everyone stared at this scene blankly, holding their breath.

The cedar is deep, and in the light of countless fireflies, you can vaguely see the fox fur floating in the air, swaying in the wind, and its wrinkles are showing like a fairy.
  Lu Chenran raised his head, looked at Yinghuozhi, and asked:
  "You want to come with me?"

"."

The breeze fluttered the robe of the young man in fox fur, and the branches hung over his hair. The evening sun was always shining on his back. As he walked with it, the jade was warm and glowing.

The sky and the earth are also silent, and you can hear the falling snow.

Hearing Lu Chenran's words, the body of the Tiger Mountain God squatting far away trembled suddenly. The widened tiger eyes were full of disbelief. The slightly twitching tiger beard explained the dissatisfaction in its heart at this moment. calm.

How could that one medicinal herb have such a magical connection? Can I always be by Mr. Lu’s side?
  The tiger's claws subconsciously rubbed against the snow. At this moment, the jealousy and envy of a medicinal herb reached the peak of tiger life, and he anxiously recited in his heart:

"Hurry up and agree. This is a fairy fate that you can't cultivate even with a small elixir for a thousand years."

"."

The firefly mushroom floated around Lu Chenran's body twice, and then turned into the size of a palm, gathering up the fireflies all over the sky, and landed on his shoulder.

The title page of the Golden Book floated slowly in Lu Chenran's mind:
  【Getting connected with Firefly Zhizhi: (2/10)】

【.】

This gave him a bit of a surprise. It seemed that Yinghuo had been with him before and was considered a part of his relationship.
  The place became calm again, and the last trace of light shone.

Lu Chenran looked at the caravan escorts coming in front of him, with a bit of guilt on his cheeks, he clasped his hands and said softly:

"It is Lu's fault that he took the young prince away without authorization and made everyone worried."

"."

"Where is it? Without Mr. Lu, how could we see such a fairyland?"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lu Xiao? How can we roughnecks endure this?"

"Yes, yes."

"."

"Ho-Tiger."

Suddenly, a low roar of a tiger startled everyone. Previously, the Tiger Mountain God had been too well-behaved, making everyone forget its existence. This roar of a tiger instantly brought everyone back to reality. Everyone looked towards him in fear. He retreated, fearing that the tiger would pounce on the food and become its prey.
  Lu Chenran turned his head to look at Hushan God, and saw that his tiger eyes were full of resentment. He vaguely knew what he was thinking, and he curved his mouth:
  "Is Mr. Lu the kind of person who breaks his promise?"

"Tiger, don't worry."

"."

After finishing his words, seeing the resentment on Qihu's face not diminishing, he laughed out loud.

It seems that this snow tiger is very concerned about the fate he mentioned for more than a month.

He slowly walked into the tiger spirit, used the technique he used to pet cats in his previous life, rubbed its huge tiger head, and said gently:

"Okay, okay, if you travel far next time, Lu will inform Mr. Hu in advance."

"It's Lu's fault that makes Mr. Hu worried."

"."    The fur on the tiger's head was not as rough as Lu Chenran thought. Instead, it was warm, smooth and shiny.

Snow Tiger's eyes flashed slightly, and there was a somewhat humane look on the tiger's face. The "snoring" sound came out of its throat unconsciously, shocking everyone onlookers. Swallowing his saliva, he felt a deep sense of awe towards this strange man, Mr. Lu Xiao.

After a while, a guard from the prince's palace reminded him:

"Young Master, Mr. Lu, let's go back quickly. Manager Wang and Manager Liu may be in a hurry."

"."

Li Zijun nodded, looked at each other with Lu Chenran, and then the team walked towards the official road down the mountain.
  The young prince came back safe and sound, and Wang Bo and Uncle Liu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they heard that the young prince almost died next to the mountain temple, the two of them were nervous and their palms were filled with sweat. Fortunately, they were saved by Mr. Lu in time, which was really a blessing among misfortunes.

Uncle Wang raised his head and looked at Mr. Lu sitting cross-legged next to the snow tiger from a distance. The flying snow was rushing towards his face. One person, one tiger and one fox, there was no sense of disobedience at all.

In my heart, I felt even more grateful and awed towards this man who came down from the mountain.

Such a person who can eliminate demons and specialize in miraculous arts does not know where he studied. Even when he arrived at the prince's palace, he would probably be treated as a guest by virtue of the young prince's relationship.

"Uncle Wang, the caravan will leave tomorrow."

"Now that I'm lucky enough to be back, let's have a warm meal with everyone in the caravan tonight."

"."

Li Zijun straightened the snow on his body and suggested.

Uncle Wang held his long beard, nodded and smiled:
  "Well, just listen to the young prince and eat Wen Ding!"

"."

The crescent moon is about to rise, and the cool moonlight shines on the snow all over the place.

Li Zijun walked towards Lu Chenran who was still meditating, and then quietly sat next to him, leaning on his hands, looking at his profile without making a sound.

After a while, Lu Chenran woke up from meditating and turned around. Looking at the dazed young prince next to him, he smiled and joked:

"What are you looking at? Zhu Yingtai?"

"Oh? Who is Zhu Yingtai?"

"It's a story. I'll tell it to you when I have time."

"Do I look like this person?"

"A little bit, but you and she are fundamentally different."

"Is the story good?"

"Well, it's quite touching. Most people will cry when they hear it."

"Then I'm not an ordinary person, I won't cry."

Li Zijun smiled softly.

However, no one knows how much sadness is hidden behind her understatement. The tears may have been shed from the moment Li Zijun was born as a daughter in the prince's palace.

"Well, you are an ordinary person."

Lu Chenran blinked at her.

"Pfft."

The young prince burst out laughing, his beautiful face instantly melting like ice and snow, and thousands of flowers blooming.

Then, she suppressed her smile and returned to that 'light smile'. She put her hands behind her back, stood up and said:

"Let's have a meal together. This meal is very special. I guarantee you haven't eaten it before!"

"Why is rice so mysterious?"

"Wen Ding."
