The little fox and Ye Tiancheng returned to the house and discussed their plans for a while. However, after only a few words, they thought of Ou Xiaoxue’s presence.
Because the little fox disliked having to spend a long time with Ou Xiaoxue, he couldn't help but ask Ye Tiancheng, "Brother Ye, what are you planning to do about Ou Xiaoxue? Are we going to live with her for all this time? How long do you think it will take to collect the fragments of the Fuxi Qin this time?"
As they spent more time together, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox understood each other better. Therefore, even if the little fox didn't say anything, Ye Tiancheng could sense that the little fox had some emotions.
However, Ye Tiancheng could also understand and would not blame the little fox for such things. Some people's personalities were just like that. The little fox was somewhat exclusive and didn't like to initiate contact with others, which was all very normal.
How people should treat people and things, as long as it doesn't violate public order and good morals and doesn't do bad things, the most important thing is to be comfortable oneself.
This time, there was no other way, and it was considered a preventive measure. In the future, there would likely be more such situations, so Ye Tiancheng felt it was necessary to properly appease the little fox. "Ou Xiaoxue will definitely have to live here until we get the Fuxi Qin fragments and can leave. Only then can we send her away."
"There's nothing we can do about this kind of thing, and I understand you. But this time, she's been drawn into it. Who knows what the situation will be like in the future? It's possible that such things will happen more often in the future. We can't do anything about it, so we'll just have to make do."
"But little fox, if you really don't like Ou Xiaoxue, you can spend less time with her. It doesn't matter. It won't affect us much, it will just be a little more troublesome to do certain things."
The little fox heard Ye Tiancheng say this, and he was actually just venting. Now that his relationship with Ye Tiancheng was getting better and better, if it were in the past, although the little fox had a desire to be close to Ye Tiancheng, his relationship with Ye Tiancheng was not that good. Even if he had some displeasure in his heart, he would not dare to complain to Ye Tiancheng.
At that time, the little fox would be worried that if he was so troublesome, Ye Tiancheng would find him troublesome and send him away.
The little fox now had a sense of security. He already knew Ye Tiancheng's most important secret, and Ye Tiancheng's attitude towards him was very good, so he slowly relaxed.
As for the other question the little fox brought up, Ye Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "But regarding the Fuxi Qin fragments, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a judgment until I get close to them."
"Because this kind of thing is really hard to confirm. Sometimes it's about collecting fragments, which takes time and requires waiting. But sometimes, after solving some problems, the fragments can be obtained immediately, and we can go find the next one."
Hearing Ye Tiancheng say this, the little fox's eyes lit up, and he said with some anticipation, "Then, could it be that this time, the Fuxi Qin fragments will be like the latter case you mentioned, Brother Ye? After we resolve the issues in Ou Xiaoxue's villa, we can take the Fuxi Qin fragments away."
Ye Tiancheng pondered for a moment, "Actually, I really hope it can be like this. After all, if we need to stay to collect the Fuxi Qin fragments later, it will become very troublesome."
"After all, if we need to stay to collect the fragments, we can't really keep the young lady locked in the illusion forever, but we can't ignore her either. Moreover, we might have to go to her house frequently to collect the Fuxi Qin fragments, which would be too troublesome."
The little fox was very excited and said, "Then let's go take a look tomorrow. I'll prepare more talismans and see if the evil spirits in Ou Xiaoxue's villa are easy to deal with."
Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but smile, patted the little fox's head, and said, "I completely understand how you feel, but aren't you too eager? It shouldn't be tomorrow."
"Did you forget? We still need to help Ou Xiaoxue get her things tomorrow. If we have to move back and forth a few times, we'll probably be exhausted. Will you still have the strength to drive away evil spirits? It's better to rest for a day. The earliest we can go is the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is probably not feasible. People's energy is limited."
"What if the evil spirits in Ou Xiaoxue's villa are quite powerful, and because you are exhausted, you can't defeat them and encounter any danger? What should we do?"
The little fox became a little dejected, but after thinking about it, he cheered up. He just hoped that this matter could go smoothly, preferably resolving the evil spirits in Ou Xiaoxue's villa in one day, and then leaving immediately. This was the little fox's greatest wish at this stage.
Ye Tiancheng frowned with some worry, "Actually, I hope this matter can be resolved as quickly as possible."
The little fox looked at Ye Tiancheng and vaguely understood Ye Tiancheng's worries. Indeed, Ye Tiancheng continued, "The speed of transfer this time is too fast, and some people have been drawn in. If Hou Mingzhu and the others find out passively, it will be very bad."
"If the matter can be resolved quickly, and the next location goes more smoothly, it will be much better. This way, we won't have to specifically tell Hou Mingzhu and the others, and we won't have to introduce Ou Xiaoxue to them."
"It's not that I'm afraid of being misunderstood. After all, we've already figured out how to tell them about these things, and how to make them believe our various reasons for not being able to go back. But I still hope they can know about this later."
Ye Tiancheng knew very well that if a person knew that they could never obtain something, they might resign themselves to fate and slowly choose to accept the fact.
But if Hou Mingzhu and the others suddenly had hope, thinking that he and the little fox could go home before the New Year, and then in the next second, Ye Tiancheng had to shatter their hope and tell them they couldn't, that would be too cruel.
Although Hou Mingzhu and the others were supposed to know about this, if they knew later, at least not before the New Year, Hou Mingzhu and the others originally thought that Ye Tiancheng couldn't go home for New Year this year.
But if they suddenly thought Ye Tiancheng could go home for New Year, and then suddenly shattered this hope, and told them that Ye Tiancheng not only couldn't go home for New Year this year, but also couldn't go home for a long time in the future, Hou Mingzhu and the others would definitely be very upset.
Ye Tiancheng knew them. Perhaps they wouldn't complain or say anything about him, but they would definitely worry about him. If Ye Tiancheng saw this, he would also feel uneasy.
Even things like the Nuwa illusion were not foolproof. Even if they were attached to the formation, they could still not prevent external invasions. For example, the big lizard before, or the current evil spirits and Ou Xiaoxue. If there was an accident, and a more powerful one came, even the Nuwa Stone couldn't stop it.
Otherwise, if they wanted to bring Fatty and Hou Mingzhu in, or occasionally allow them to come and see him, it wouldn't be impossible. When danger occurred, the people around him were not there, the less they would be dragged down by him. And if those people followed by his side, they would often be the first to suffer.
Ye Tiancheng had experienced so much, and he had not forgotten any of the people who had met with misfortune. Even Hou Mingzhu and Fatty. If Fatty hadn't had the Nuwa Stone this time, he might not have come back. Even if he was standing there intact now, it couldn't erase the fact that he had experienced all those things.
And Hou Mingzhu was dragged down by him. The most recent time was Ye Tiancheng's curse. He thought that by finding his destined woman, he could break the curse. Who knew that the curse would transfer, and it would harm Hou Mingzhu and his disciple.
Even his daughter Ye Qingcheng, if she wasn't his woman, perhaps just Hou Mingzhu's daughter with an ordinary man, wouldn't have suffered from that strange illness of falling into a deep sleep like before, which couldn't be cured anywhere and could only be treated by Ye Tiancheng's true qi and the Nuwa Stone.
All of this was just because Ye Qingcheng was his daughter. She hadn't even stayed by Ye Tiancheng's side, and she had been implicated by Ye Tiancheng. How could Ye Tiancheng not care?
"Then I also wish that this time, after resolving those evil spirits, we can get the Fuxi Qin fragments and leave here quickly. Next time, I hope we can go to a place where there are no people, at least not before the New Year, so that Sister-in-law Hou Mingzhu and Brother Fatty don't know about those bad things."
The little fox could see Ye Tiancheng's worries, so he made a wish for Ye Tiancheng. He also sincerely hoped so. Fatty had treated him very, very well before, and Hou Mingzhu had also treated him very well. Although it was because of Ye Tiancheng, Hou Mingzhu herself also liked him quite a bit and often took care of him.
So, if possible, even the little fox hoped that everyone could be well.
Ye Tiancheng just sighed and didn't say anything more. There was no use in saying so much now. The most important thing was that he still needed to call Hou Mingzhu. It was almost time to report his safety.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng about to make a call, the little fox considered that Ou Xiaoxue was still outside, so he took the initiative to go out. If it were usual times, the little fox wouldn't need to avoid anything. Even now, he wasn't leaving to avoid anything, because sometimes when Ye Tiancheng called Hou Mingzhu and the others, the little fox would also say a few words with them.
The main reason was that the little fox was worried that if Ou Xiaoxue suddenly came looking for something and interrupted Ye Tiancheng's phone call with Hou Mingzhu, forcing Ye Tiancheng to tell Hou Mingzhu the bad news in advance, it would be very bad.
The little fox felt that it was necessary for him to go out and keep an eye on Ou Xiaoxue, to make sure that whether she had something to do or not, she wouldn't come into the house and disturb Ye Tiancheng's phone call.
Ye Tiancheng understood the little fox's intention and accepted the little fox's good intentions. After the little fox walked out of the door, he picked up his phone and dialed.
After leaving the room, the little fox looked around. Ou Xiaoxue was not in her camping tent. The little fox thought for a moment, then worried that Ou Xiaoxue might be doing something private, and he might accidentally stumble upon it, which would be very troublesome and awkward.
Therefore, the little fox walked around the house and the camping tent area, in the parts that did not involve privacy, and let the Nuwa Stone help him watch. When Ou Xiaoxue returned or came from any direction, he would be notified in time so that he could prepare to intercept her.
