Chapter 195 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 45
Ayao's lips curled slightly as she raised an eyebrow at Aqing beside her, looking at her with a half-smile.
Ah Qing understood immediately and quickly took over the conversation, saying, "Sister, the Demon Lord is the head of the Demon Realm, and his status is extremely revered. How could he be such an ungrateful person? In my opinion, he would never do such a thing."
Just then, as if by chance, A Yao turned her head and her gaze fell on a figure not far away, dressed in a black robe and standing tall and straight like a pine tree.
Her face lit up with surprise, and she hurriedly turned to look at Bai Jingjing beside her, asking excitedly, "Sister, look over there! Isn't that the Demon Lord standing there?"
However, Bai Jingjing seemed not to hear, only wiping away the tears that kept sliding down her face, refusing to raise her head. Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs: "How...how could it be him? You two don't have the nerve to try to fool me with something like this. I...I absolutely will not believe it!"
Despite Bai Jingjing's words, A Yao and A Qing were extremely excited and urged in unison, "Sister, please open your eyes and take a look!"
Finally, after repeated persuasion from the two, Bai Jingjing slowly raised her eyes and looked in the direction A Yao was pointing.
In an instant, her previously dull eyes lit up like stars.
But then she shook her head and muttered to herself with a self-deprecating tone, "I guess I miss him so much that I'm hallucinating."
But just as she finished speaking, the figure she had been longing for—Yan Shuo—had already walked quickly in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Ayao and Aqing quickly bowed and greeted him in unison, "Greetings, Lord Demon Lord!"
Yan Shuo nodded slightly, then said, "You two may step back for now. This Demon Lord wishes to spend some time alone with Jingjing."
"Yes!"
After Ayao and Aqing left, Bai Jingjing quickly wiped away her tears.
"Brother Shuo, you really came to see me!" Bai Jingjing exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm! How have you been lately?"
"Thank you for finding me two little girls to keep me entertained. With those two clever little devils around, the day goes by in no time." As she spoke, Bai Jingjing's face beamed with a smile.
Yan Shuo felt gratified, but at the same time, another figure involuntarily appeared in his mind—Wanwan, whom he longed for.
Thinking back to the days I spent with Wanwan, every day was so beautiful yet so short.
Time seems to fly by unnoticed, yet their lives are always filled with laughter and joy.
Those heartwarming moments they shared became the deepest and softest memories in his heart.
He had dreamed countless times about the future, imagining spending the rest of his life hand in hand with Wanwan, surrounded by the fruit of their love, a happy family enjoying the bliss of family life.
But now, his beloved little fox is in a deep sleep. If he cannot revive Wanwan within forty-nine days, even if Hua Tuo were reborn or Bian Que were resurrected, it would probably be too late.
Whenever Yan Shuo thought of this, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart, and he felt as if he were dying.
But he knew he couldn't give up so easily. No matter how slim the hope, he had to do everything he could to save his lover.
"How about you? How have you been lately?"
Bai Jingjing's concerned voice interrupted Yan Shuo's thoughts. He snapped out of his reverie, forced a smile, and said, "It's not bad..."
But the sadness and worry hidden behind that smile could not be concealed.
Yan Shuo slowly walked to Bai Jingjing's side and then gently sat down.
His deep gaze was directed towards the distant horizon, as if trying to see through layers of clouds to the unknown end.
Compared to the last time we met, he looked unusually haggard, and his once handsome brows now showed signs of fatigue and worry.
"I'm fine...it's just..." Yan Shuo hesitated, his voice low.
"What is this? Are you facing some insurmountable difficulty?" Bai Jingjing asked anxiously, her eyes revealing deep concern, as if she cared a great deal about Yan Shuo's current situation.
Hearing Bai Jingjing's anxious question, Yan Shuo hesitated for a moment before finally mustering his courage and saying, "Jingjing, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingjing's expression instantly turned dejected. She gave a self-deprecating laugh and replied bitterly, "Your Majesty, the Demon Lord, you're quite the joker! Look at my current state, how could I possibly be of any ability to help others? Even if I wanted to, I'm afraid I'd be powerless to do so."
As he spoke, Yan Shuo suddenly turned around, reached out and tried to grab Bai Jingjing's arm, his eyes full of pleading, hoping that she would agree to help him.
However, his hand grasped nothing but empty air.
Because at this moment, Bai Jingjing was merely a remnant of her soul, and could not be touched like a normal person.
Nevertheless, Bai Jingjing said softly, "But since the Demon Lord has spoken, perhaps my shattered soul might actually be of some use."
Yan Shuo nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then spoke his request in an extremely heavy tone.
It turned out that his beloved Mu Wanwan had been cursed by a vicious forbidden technique, and her life was in imminent danger.
He tried everything but couldn't find a way to save him, so he thought of seeking help from Bai Jingjing.
"Jingjing, my wife Wanwan has been affected by a forbidden spell and is currently in a deep sleep. If she cannot be rescued within 49 days, she will surely die."
I know you can break this forbidden spell, so I came to ask for your help to see if I can wake Wanwan up.
Bai Jingjing feigned sudden realization, "So, you came here today because you need something from me. You wouldn't have come if it weren't for this, would you?"
Yan Shuo wanted to deny it, but what she said was also true.
"Jingjing, I'm sorry, I really had no other choice but to come to you."
"Brother Shuo, as you know, I would do anything for you, even die."
Yan Shuo dared not look into her eyes. "Jingjing, I have always regarded you as my good friend, my good sister, and my good comrade-in-arms. I have never had any romantic feelings for you."
"I know! So it's just wishful thinking on my part!" Bai Jingjing lamented to herself.
"So, Jingjing, can you save Wanwan?"
Bai Jingjing looked troubled; now that the opportunity had arrived, she felt conflicted.
Xin Yue's feelings for him were indeed one-sided, and saving her despite the danger to her life was her own decision.
"It's not impossible!"
Seeing that there was hope of saving the person, Yan Shuo was extremely excited. "Jingjing, tell me what to do, and I will fully cooperate with you!"
