The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1257 - 125: Clumsiness, Entanglement (Extra)

Demon Night, Xiao Fox (Extra Story)

Changling, Yunyun left.

They were the same as before, yet also somewhat different.

Demon Night alone kept vigil by Xiao Fox’s side, caring for her while pondering over the recent events.

The cold arrogance in Changling’s eyes had disappeared, the sense of inferiority in Yunyun’s heart had vanished.

They loved each other deeply, overcoming numerous obstacles to be together.

Whether in Ancient Times or during this encounter, he was always an outsider, a passerby thrust into the midst of their relationship.

Looking back, from beginning to end, the one who always followed him, entangled with him the most, was actually Xiao Fox.

It had always been this foolish and silly fox.

When he was glorious, Xiao Fox silently followed by his side; when he fell from grace, Xiao Fox fearlessly stood in front of him to protect him; even as he dissipated into ash, she still pursued him.

This entanglement spanned lifetimes.

He thought he was indifferent towards Xiao Fox, yet when he saw her about to die before his eyes, his heart ached.

At his birth, the heavens and earth changed, mountains crumbled, and lands split, some prophesized that he would bring catastrophe to his clan, leading his parents to abandon him; As he grew up, friends betrayed him; when his Divine Power Mastery was achieved, his subordinates feared him, enemies envied him...

But only Xiao Fox, as always, stayed by his side, loving him.

If even Xiao Fox disappeared, then he would truly be all alone.

In the vast world, through the long years, all would be silent.

"Cough cough!" Xiao Fox coughed non-stop, groggily, "Water, water..."

Severely injured, Demon Night could move, but could no longer be as he was before. With no container at hand, he picked a big leaf from a tree, folded it, and scooped up water from the brook.

With one hand holding the leaf filled with water and the other cradling Xiao Fox, he gently fed her the water.

Xiao Fox sipped the water, and her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Thirsty, Demon Night fetched water from the brook.

Hungry, Demon Night picked fruit from the trees.

Xiao Fox didn’t treat her own wounds, nor did Demon Night.

They both awkwardly felt the changes happening between them.

Every time she saw Demon Night clumsily helping her, Xiao Fox felt both happy and conflicted.

Why did Demon Night seem to change his mind just as she was about to give up?

Every time she thought about forgiving Demon Night, the pain from the past would resurface, and she would hold back.

Naturally reticent, as Xiao Fox healed, so did his heart, as if coming back to life.

Who knows how much time had passed, but both had completely recovered.

"Demon Night, you really don’t need to feel guilty. I understand that you don’t love me," Xiao Fox said, "I want to leave this place, to go out and see the world, and I won’t bother you anymore."

Demon Night was startled, as if his heart was pierced by a needle, that once unyielding heart now bore deep cracks that couldn’t be mended.

"Must you leave?" Demon Night couldn’t express eloquent words of affection; even in agonizing heartache, he couldn’t utter words to keep Xiao Fox.

"Mhm, the Human Realm is so vast, I want to see it," Xiao Fox said with a light laugh, "I want to experience the environment that changed Yunyun, Changling. Maybe after seeing more, I’ll change too!"

You really don’t need to change!

Demon Night thought bitterly.

"Mhm." Demon Night nodded; he owed Xiao Fox too much before, even if he didn’t want her to leave now, he couldn’t stop her if she wished to go.

Xiao Fox turned to leave, and in the end, he still let her go.

Xiao Fox’s face was streaked with two lines of clear tears that trickled down her pale cheeks.

Xiao Fox’s figure vanished from Demon Night’s sight.

Demon Night wanted to chase after her, but he feared that Xiao Fox would despise him.

However, the thought of being left alone on this desolate island made him feel more desolate, so he pursued her in the direction where she disappeared.

Xiao Fox had chased him for so long before, now it was his turn to chase after Xiao Fox.

No matter to the ends of the earth, he would follow her, just like Xiao Fox once chased after him.

When Xiao Fox appeared on the streets of the Human Realm, looking lost and confused at the surrounding service and strange passersby, Demon Night also appeared behind her.

Xiao Fox’s long hair cascaded down her back, long and flowing with the wind.

Demon Night was dressed all in black, holding a long knife in his hand.

Just as Xiao Fox was greedily gazing at the surrounding skyscrapers and strange metal boxes, the pedestrians nearby were also chattering.

"Wow, are they filming a period drama?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

"It seems so, but why are there only these two people? Where are the cameras and video recorders?"

"That woman is really pretty, and her clothes are so elegant..."

"Wow, that guy is not bad either!"

"Mmm, long legs, slim waist, big nose, I like..."

Xiao Fox and Demon Night looked at each other, puzzled. Is this Changling where Yunyun is?

"Why did you follow me here?" Xiao Fox was even more curious about Demon Night, who had never cared about where she went before.

Demon Night felt a bit embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Wherever you go in the future, I’ll go there too!"

Xiao Fox was startled, raised an eyebrow at Demon Night. Now he was doing the opposite of before, and she felt a secret thrill in her heart, but more than that, she was afraid—afraid that Demon Night couldn’t keep up for long. She was even more afraid that Demon Night would give her hope, only to lead her to despair.

The two of them walked one after the other on the main road.

They did not understand those strange metal boxes, red lights, or street lamps.

Soon, the two acting oddly were invited to the police station.

Changling had previously mentioned that if they came out, they couldn’t kill anyone; otherwise, they would incur divine retribution.

The two of them merely came out to have a look around, but they were caught by the Government Officials of the Human Realm.

"Chief Wu, these two don’t have ID cards, and we can’t find any information about them. They don’t understand what we’re saying." The young officer Xiao Ma was getting anxious. After confirming that the two weren’t mentally ill, intellectually disabled, nor actors, he didn’t know what to do.

Chief Wu was startled and began to doubt the intern Xiao Ma’s ability to do his job.

"Such a small matter, and you come to ask me?" Chief Wu scolded. Xiao Ma was his nephew, and in front of others, he couldn’t show favoritism. When it was time to reprimand, he couldn’t be lenient.

"Chief, if you don’t believe me, go and take a look." Others might be scared, but Xiao Ma wasn’t, because the famed Chief Wu was his uncle after all!

Chief Wu came over, asked a few questions, and also came up empty-handed.

In the end, Chief Wu asked, "Do you have any friends? Maybe they can come and verify your identities!"

Friends?

Xiao Fox and Demon Night exchanged looks. Their friends seemed to be only Changling and Yunyun.

"Changling, Yunyun," Demon Night replied. Even if they were friends, at least they knew him.

Xiao Fox rolled her eyes and quickly added, "It’s Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian!"

"What?" Xiao Ma exclaimed, "He Tiantian? The swimmer?"

Xiao Fox blinked her bewildered big eyes. What on earth was a swimmer?

Xiao Ma was a super fan of He Tiantian and took out a large poster from the drawer. It featured He Tiantian wearing the Chunyu Project’s work uniform, taking a group photo with everyone.

Xiao Ma was one of the volunteers for the Chunyu Project and had the opportunity to take a photo with He Tiantian.
