Chapter 189: Compromise
At this thought, Su Yan said, “Of course we’re friends.”
This was not only a means to appease her but also what Su Yan truly thought in his heart.
Although the little fox had imprisoned him, it had always provided him with good food and drink and had not caused him any harm.
And at that time, when he had encountered danger in the snow mountain, if it weren’t for the fox mother’s appearance, he would have been taken back by the rabbit. Who knows what would have happened then? He would not forget this kindness.
“I’m relieved to hear you say that.”
Hu Xiaoyu smiled. Although she was very reluctant to let him go, at this point, this was the best choice.
After all, if she insisted, Xiao Wu would make a move, and the matter would become irreversible. Su Yan would be sad. This was a completely helpless move.
At this thought, Hu Xiaoyu said, “Hurry up and leave before I change my mind. But you have to remember, I won’t give up. I’ll come and find you again one day.”
A temporary compromise did not mean giving up. When she became a better version of herself, and she met him again, there would definitely be a happy ending. Hu Xiaoyu firmly believed so.
Xiao Wu was listening from the side. At this moment, her face was about to turn green. It was undoubtedly a good thing that Hu Xiaoyu could be persuaded to change her mind, but what did these words mean? She still had designs on her junior brother? She still wanted to come and find him in the future?
“I’m still here!”
Xiao Wu said with a dark face, pulling Su Yan’s hand to declare her sovereignty.
Su Yan was a little nervous. Hu Xiaoyu had just managed to change her mind. Don’t provoke her anymore. What if she saw the two of them being intimate and suddenly went back on her word?
Hu Xiaoyu’s brow furrowed. She looked at their clasped hands, her heart feeling extremely uncomfortable. To be cuckolded in front of her… any woman would find it unacceptable, right!?
But she had no choice but to force herself to ignore it.
“Of course I know. But what does it matter?”
Hu Xiaoyu would go and find Su Yan in the future. This had nothing to do with anyone’s thoughts; it was entirely her own will. As for the relationship between the two of them as a couple?
“They won’t be together so easily.”
Remembering the several senior and junior sisters around Su Yan, Hu Xiaoyu thought to herself.
And so what if the two of them were together? A demon beast was not a human and would not care about human moral concepts. She didn’t mind digging her corner at all.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu was about to die of anger. But the current environment was special, and it was not the time to act up.
“Let’s go quickly!”
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Su Yan was worried about complications and quickly tightened his grip on Xiao Wu’s hand.
Xiao Wu shot Hu Xiaoyu a cold glare, took a deep breath, and then reached out to hold his hand in return, disappearing into the dark night.
Watching Su Yan’s figure disappear, Hu Xiaoyu felt empty in her heart. Although she would not give up and did not care that he already had a girlfriend, because the person standing by his side in the end would be her, but during this period, he would definitely be bullied hard. This was certain to happen.
Just thinking of this made Hu Xiaoyu’s head feel heavy, and she could hardly breathe.
…
Escaping from the Heavenly Fox clan’s territory was a very smooth process. Perhaps it was because this kind of thing had not happened for many years, or perhaps Xiao Wu’s magic treasure was powerful, or perhaps the guards were slacking off.
In short, Su Yan and Xiao Wu successfully escaped. After traveling for dozens of miles under the cover of night, Su Yan was finally completely at ease.
“We succeeded! We finally escaped from that place!”
Su Yan clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.
However, compared to Su Yan’s excitement, Xiao Wu’s performance was a little flat. She didn’t speak, just a light “mm.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
After the excitement, only then did he realize that something was wrong with Xiao Wu. Su Yan asked with a puzzled expression.
“It’s nothing. You’re overthinking it.”
Xiao Wu shook her head, but her words were clearly insincere.
Su Yan looked at her unpleasant face and, after a little thought, realized.
He had gone out for a trip, and she had gained a rival in love. Putting himself in her shoes, this matter would be unacceptable to anyone.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to either.”
Su Yan quickly apologized. Although it wasn’t his fault, the matter had ultimately started because of him. He felt a little sorry for Xiao Wu and was very guilty in his heart.
“You don’t have to apologize.”
Although Xiao Wu was depressed in her heart, she also knew that this matter was not Su Yan’s fault. It was useless to be angry at him.
“It’s all those women. Why are they all coveting my junior brother?”
Xiao Wu just thought for a moment and got the answer. It was all because Su Yan was too beautiful. Hadn’t she also taken a fancy to his beauty at the beginning and then pursued him?
“How can I stop this from happening again? Should I have my junior brother hide his appearance every time he goes out?”
Xiao Wu had this idea in her heart, but thinking carefully, this method only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. She could guard against outsiders, but what about those at home?
“Since they don’t care about the relationship of a couple, then if we go a step further…”
Marriage required her mother’s consent. She had been very busy during this period, and she couldn’t even see her.
And even if she did, the procedures were very troublesome. After all, she was not from an ordinary family.
Xiao Wu thought a lot. She couldn’t get married in a short period of time, but breaking the bottom line was very simple. If she and her junior brother had a substantial relationship, would the situation be much better? But if she did that, what about her junior brother’s reputation?
Having sex before marriage… if this matter got out, the impact would not be good.
Xiao Wu was conflicted in her heart, but her steps did not stop.
Because the spiritual energy in Su Yan’s body was sealed, he was no different from a mortal at this moment, so he could only be carried by Xiao Wu. They hurried along the way, and sweat gradually dripped from her forehead.
“Let’s stop for a while. This is already very far. We’ll rest here tonight.”
Seeing Xiao Wu panting from exhaustion, Su Yan said with heartache.
This place was still thousands of miles away from the Transcendent Immortal Sect. It would take several days to travel. There was no need to be in such a hurry.
Xiao Wu thought so too and nodded.
After landing, Su Yan simply collected some branches and started a bonfire on the ground.
The orange-yellow flames rose, dispelling the cold of the winter night. But just a fire was not enough. He also had to get something to eat.
“I’m a little hungry. Let’s eat something.”
Because of Hu Xiaoyu, he hadn’t eaten all night. Now his stomach was empty. Su Yan wanted to fill his stomach.
Xiao Wu nodded, opened Su Yan’s storage ring, and took out the seasonings for roasted meat. As for the meat, it was completely ready-made.
Xiao Wu opened her divine sense and easily found prey.
“It’s actually a rabbit!”
Su Yan saw the rabbit, and fire immediately rose in his eyes. If it weren’t for the rabbit, how could he have gone through all this!
At this thought, with new and old hatreds, he skinned and deboned this rabbit.
“Junior Brother’s fingers are getting more and more nimble.”
Seeing Su Yan handle the rabbit so quickly, Xiao Wu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
