Abyss Walker

Chapter 3 The Will to Preserve the Fox

As Yun Muhan stroked it, the little fox gradually relaxed and began to purr softly, a sign of its satisfaction and comfort with the intimate contact.

The little fox's nose twitched slightly as it sniffed Yun Muhan's scent, as if trying to memorize and confirm his aroma.

When the little fox transformed into human form, its change was both sudden and natural.

There stood Xi Ling, dressed in a snow-white gown, graceful and elegant, like a blooming lotus flower, pure and refined.

Her figure was graceful and lithe, so light that she seemed as if she might drift away on the wind at any moment. Her face was beautiful, her skin as smooth as jade, her eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, and her eyes like deep lakes, sparkling with a captivating and mysterious light.

At this moment, the whole world became exceptionally beautiful because of her existence, as if everything in the world was there to highlight her breathtaking beauty.

Xi Ling's figure was light and graceful, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her eyes sparkled with cunning and wisdom.

She gestured exaggeratedly with her fingers in the air, trying to make Yun Muhan feel the terror of the giant dragon.

Xi Ling had a mischievous smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth.

Her movements were crisp and melodious, with a hint of playfulness, but also a hint of seriousness, reminding Yun Muhan of the potential danger.

A smile appeared on Yun Muhan's lips. He didn't seem afraid of Xi Ling's warning; instead, it only fueled his curiosity.

The rustling of leaves, the distant chirping of birds, and the babbling of the stream all added a touch of mystery and fantasy to the scene.

The prerequisites for a monster to take human form differ in each era. In Yun Muhan's previous life, the monster needed spiritual energy to transform, and it was extremely rare for a monster to possess intelligence at such a young age.

Xi Ling's voice carried a hint of playfulness and ease, and her eyes sparkled with a lively light, as if she were telling an adventure story.

Her fingers moved lightly in the air, mimicking the tension of running away and the caution of hiding. Her exaggerated and funny movements made people involuntarily infected by her liveliness.

Yun Muhan's smile was like a spring breeze, and his eyes revealed a gentle understanding and tolerance.

His voice was deep and magnetic. When he mentioned the aura of the Ancestral Dragon, a hint of pride and profundity flashed in his eyes, as if he were telling an ancient legend.

When Xi Ling heard Yun Muhan's question, her eyes immediately lit up, as if she had found an opportunity to show off.

She straightened up, a smug smile on her face, as if to say, "This is one of my specialties."

Xi Ling flicked her fingers lightly in the air, simulating that mysterious power. Her movements were light and mysterious, making people curious about the unique abilities of that race.

When Yun Muhan hesitated, a hint of urgency flashed in Xi Ling's eyes; she didn't want Yun Muhan to miss this opportunity.

Her eyes were fixed on Yun Muhan, filled with anticipation and longing.

When she saw Yun Muhan finally nod in agreement, she couldn't hide her joy. A bright smile bloomed on her face, as if she had received the most precious gift in the world.

Xi Ling's jump was full of youthful energy; her body was as light as a swallow, and her long hair drew a beautiful arc in the air with her movements.

She held Yun Muhan's hand in a natural and intimate gesture; her hand was warm and strong, conveying her enthusiasm and expectations.

Her steps were light and quick, leading Yun Muhan through the dense forest, as if guiding him into a mysterious new world.

Xi Ling's voice echoed through the forest, her words filled with love and pride for her home.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and her finger pointed towards the valley ahead, her movements revealing a childlike eagerness and anticipation.

The sunlight cast a soft glow on her face, making her look even more vivid and lovely.

Yun Muhan followed Xi Ling's footsteps, his gaze drawn to the beautiful scenery of the valley.

He looked up and saw that the green trees in the valley were like a thick velvet carpet covering the earth, and the stream weaving through the shadows of the trees made a pleasant babbling sound, as if it were the most beautiful movement of nature.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, scattering golden glints on the stream, making the entire valley appear even more tranquil and mysterious.

As they approached, the scenery in the valley became clearer.

Yun Muhan could see that the trees in the valley were not only dense, but also of many different kinds. Some trees were tall and straight, while others were short and lush.

Various exotic flowers and herbs grow under the trees, emitting a faint fragrance that mixes with the fresh air of the forest, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The valley became even more lively because of Yun Muhan's arrival. Children chased and played on the grass, while the elders sat together and talked in hushed tones.

Sunshine, green trees, streams, and laughter create a harmonious and beautiful scene, making one exclaim that this is the true paradise on earth.

Xi Ling, like a proud hostess, introduced each member of her tribe to Yun Muhan, her voice filled with pride. Her smile was radiant, and her eyes sparkled with love for her tribe and trust in Yun Muhan.

She knew that Yun Muhan's arrival would bring new stories to the tribe, and she would be the storyteller of those stories.

With a smile on her face, Xi Ling enthusiastically began to tell Yun Muhan: "This is our clan's highly respected Second Elder, Hu Duan. Grandpa Hu Duan has dedicated his life to researching the clan's special abilities. If you are really interested, you can ask Grandpa Hu Duan for some advice."

"And that beautiful woman over there, she is a talented woman in our tribe. She can not only sing and dance, but is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

As Xi Ling introduced the place, Yun Muhan's gaze followed the directions she pointed to.

At this moment, Xi Ling brought Yun Muhan to an old man and proudly introduced him, "This is our clan leader, Grandpa Hu Jin."

Fox Jin looked at Mu Han with a smile on his face, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Yun Muhan bowed respectfully to Hu Jin, who smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be so formal.

"Welcome, young man. Since Xi Ling brought you here, you must have some connection with her. You are welcome to look around freely, or even stay here permanently. If you have any needs, please feel free to tell us." Hu Jin's words made Mu Han feel very warm.

Yun Muhan continued to cooperate with the little fox Xi Ling: As for this tribe, they have no hostility towards me, and it's not impossible for me to stay here for a long time, but...

At this moment, a radiant smile bloomed on Yun Muhan's handsome face, like the warmest sunshine in spring, illuminating the world around him.

Night quietly descended, the sky was tinged with a deep purple, and the stars began to twinkle in the sky, as if telling of the tranquility of the night.

Yun Muhan and Xi Ling bid each other farewell in the afterglow of the setting sun, their shadows stretching long in the soft light, creating a heartwarming scene.

Yun Muhan waved gently, his gesture conveying politeness and respect. His eyes held a warmth that seemed to silently tell Xi Ling that he had enjoyed their time together.

Xi Ling stood there, watching Yun Muhan leave. A hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes, a longing for friendship and a cherishing of companionship.

Her fingers gently caressed the hem of her clothes, a small gesture that revealed her inner turmoil and reluctance.

Only after Yun Muhan's figure disappeared into the night did Xi Ling slowly turn around, her steps heavy, and return to her room.

The next day, as dawn broke, Xi Ling skipped and hopped like a cheerful little bird to Yun Muhan's residence.

Her steps were light, and her face was beaming with a bright smile, as if a good night's rest had given her plenty of energy.

Her arrival broke the tranquility of the early morning, bringing a refreshing atmosphere to Yun Muhan's residence.

Yun Muhan opened the door and saw Xi Ling's energetic figure, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Xi Ling's closeness made him feel warm and happy, and their interactions were full of ease and joy.

Xi Ling took Yun Muhan's hand and began to recount her dream from the previous night. Her words were full of childlike innocence and imagination, which involuntarily infected people with her emotions.

The two frolicked in the courtyard of their residence. Xi Ling's laughter was crisp and melodious, and her movements were light and full of energy.

Yun Muhan accompanied her with a more mature and steady attitude, his eyes revealing a sense of protection and care.

Their interactions are like a harmonious painting, allowing people to feel the purity and beauty of friendship.

As they played around, the sun rose higher and higher, and Yun Muhan and Xi Ling decided to go for a walk.

They strolled through the mountains and forests, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of nature.

Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead, with faint sounds of fighting.

Yun Muhan and Xi Ling exchanged a glance and then went forward together to search.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of bandits attacking an injured fawn.
