Signed.

Yun Xi: "..."

Li Zixiao, who was quietly playing skewers, seemed to have noticed everyone looking at her. She raised her head and met Yun Xi's eyes.

When their eyes met, the atmosphere suddenly became silent and peaceful.

Between heaven and earth there is only the sound of burning firewood and wind blowing leaves.

Li Zixiao glanced at Yun Xi's empty palms, then at the empty barbecue grill, and immediately understood what Yun Xi meant.

Her spiritual power flashed slightly, and dozens more skewers of meat that had not yet been grilled flew out of her storage ring and were neatly placed on the grill. Then she continued to eat the skewers in her hand.

Everyone: "..."

The little fox looked at Li Zixiao in surprise as if he had seen something rare.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were still on him, Li Zixiao looked calm and looked at Yun Xi with a little doubt.

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing and asked: "How is it? Does it taste good?"

Li Zixiao nodded: "Yeah."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Yun Xi thought that in order to close the relationship with Li Zixiao, she used barbecue skewers. To this day, Li Zixiao must be inseparable from her craftsmanship.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a little proud.

‘When you have time, I can teach Zixiao how to barbecue, but she probably won’t learn from me...’

Yun Xi thought about these in her mind and started grilling skewers again.

At midnight, the barbecue was over and everyone began to practice separately. Yun Xi put the last ten skewers of barbecue into the storage ring and got up to leave.

"Xiao Xi."

There was a slight call from behind. Yun Xi turned around and saw Xiao Lingyuan walking over.

"I'll go with you." Xiao Lingyuan said.

She knew that Yun Xi was going to deliver skewers to Xiaoying.

Yun Xi nodded and whispered: "Don't disturb everyone."

Xiao Lingyuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The stars shone down and the two disappeared into the woods.

Just as the two of them left together, Ye Nianhan, who was sitting by the bonfire with her eyes closed and meditating, opened her eyes. She quietly looked at the direction in which the two disappeared, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

Next time, I must take action before Xiao Yuan...

Of course she was not the only one who opened her eyes, Li Zixiao also tried to find the disappearing figure.

She looked at the darkness in the distance with an expressionless face, her mind seemed a little heavy.

……

"Why don't you practice with everyone?"

In the forest path, Yun Xi asked with a smile.

Xiao Lingyuan hugged her arm and smiled naively: "Hey! I want to be alone with Xiao Xi for a while."

Yun Xi wanted to give her a snap and teach her not to think wrongly.

But if you think about it carefully, since they came to Hunyuan Prefecture, they are indeed busy with different tasks, and they rarely get together so peacefully.

Therefore, the hand that was supposed to snap fingers temporarily turned into a gentle caress.

The moment Xiao Lingyuan saw Yun Xi reaching out, she subconsciously shrank back and instinctively closed her eyes.

However, the expected snap of fingers and chestnuts did not appear. She only felt a soft and warm hand gently caressing her head.

Xiao Lingyuan opened her eyes and saw Yun Xi's gentle eyes.

She gently stroked her head and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work these past six months."

A simple sentence made Xiao Lingyuan's nose sore, and a little sparkle appeared in her smart eyes. She hugged Yun Xi's arm tightly, and her smile bloomed under the bright starry sky.

"For Xiao Xi, nothing is considered hard work!"

Yun Xi also laughed. She took her hand out of Xiao Lingyuan's arms, and when the latter was confused and at a loss, she took the initiative to hold her hand.

"Walking with arms crossed is too tiring."

She explained.

"No, this way we can get closer to Xiao Xi!"

As Xiao Lingyuan said this, she held Yun Xi's hand tighter with her backhand.

The two of them waved their clasped hands and strode along the road paved with stars and tree shadows. Their joy and relaxation did not require any gestures or sounds. They could see it just by looking quietly from behind them.

Feel it clearly.

"Hey, Xiao Xi."

"What's wrong?"

"You said I worked so hard, should you reward me with something?"

"Oh? What reward do you want?"

"Xiao Xi, let's post it!"

Snap!

"Oh! Xiao Xi, it hurts so much."

"Who told you to be immoral?"

"This is the most serious thing!"

"Really? Then I really don't dare to imagine what an improper request would be like!"

"Does Xiao Xi want to agree to my inappropriate request?"

"Which of your ears heard that I wanted to agree?"

"Well..."

After walking out of the woods, the sky becomes vast, filled with stars like the Milky Way, magnificent and full of the unique beauty of nature.

Xiao Lingyuan's beautiful eyes are filled with stars.

"Hey, Xiao Xi."

"Huh?"

"Can we be together forever?"

"That won't work. Human life is limited."

"Then...then again..."

"Listen to me. A person's life is limited, so it is impossible to be forever. I will make a promise to you first that I will never leave you in this life.

But...if there really is an afterlife, I will still find you."
