The End Times as a Song

Chapter 339 Are you worried about me?

"Young Master Tushan, you flatter me..."

After hearing the voices of the snow elf and the fire elf, Huang Yunlan politely bowed, offered a few flattering words, and then prepared to slip away.

"It was all a misunderstanding. I mistook the young master of the One-Tailed Fox Clan for Miss Huanhuan. I'm truly sorry. If there's nothing else, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I'll invite you both to have a drink at the Wilderness Family Night Mountain another day."

"Do as you please..."

“Ah Yan…”

"Li Luo, don't worry, my words and actions do not represent the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. I am just a wild fox from Fangcao Village."

"Then, Young Master Huang Yunlan, please don't mind..."

"It's alright, we'll continue our story another time."

"See you again someday..."

Huang Yunlan bowed respectfully in farewell, then turned and ran away; he was truly terrified of the snow and fire spirits. Li Luo returned the bow, staring blankly at Huang Yunlan's retreating figure. Tu Shanyan called out to Li Luo, puzzled.

"Li Luo, Li Luo, what's wrong?"

Since Huang Yunlan left, Li Luo had been lost in thought, her expression blank. Tu Shanyan shook Li Luo anxiously, trying to wake her. During their conversation, Huang Yunlan had inadvertently revealed the connection between the nine-tailed fox and the one-tailed fox, and Li Luo had been pondering this matter ever since.

"Ah Yan, I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

Li Luo calmly shook her head, indicating that she was alright. Tu Shan Yan didn't believe her. He suddenly walked up to Li Luo, cupped her face in his hands, and looked her over from left to right, speaking gently as he did so.

"But you don't look like you're alright. Li Luo, what are you thinking?"

"Ayan!"

Li Luo suddenly looked up and called out to Tu Shan Yan, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What's wrong? Tell me!"

Tu Shanyan carefully examined Li Luo.

"fine!"

Li Luo hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"No, my gut feeling tells me that something's wrong with you."

Tu Shanyan stared intently at Li Luo and pressed her for answers.

"It's okay."

Li Luo gave a perfunctory reply.

"Don't try to fool me, what's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

Tu Shanyan cupped Li Luo's face in his hands, and as their eyes met, Tu Shanyan spoke gently to Li Luo.

"Does a one-tailed fox really have a chance to become a nine-tailed fox?"

Li Luo thought for a moment, but still couldn't help asking. She wanted to know, and she desperately wanted to find someone to verify, how much of what Huang Yunlan had said was true or false.

"What nonsense are you thinking? I knew it! You must have believed Huang Yunlan's nonsense! Don't you know that Huang Yunlan is a member of the Rat Clan? You believe the nonsense of a member of the Rat Clan? Li Luo, you are the young master of the Fox Clan. You should know who you should believe and who you shouldn't!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Shanyan became displeased. He suddenly released his hands from holding Li Luo's face, feeling inexplicably angry, and launched into a furious tirade against Li Luo.

"But!"

Li Luo was puzzled; she just wanted to know if such a thing had really happened. Tu Shan Yan interrupted her, grabbing Li Luo's shoulders and shaking her, his emotions running high.

"But what? Don't think nonsense. What noble nine-tailed fox? Having eight more tails doesn't make you any more noble than a fox. Look at me, I'm a nine-tailed fox too. How noble am I now? I'm still just a fox! A fox is a fox. It has nothing to do with how many tails it has. Wake up. Besides, what's so good about being a nine-tailed fox? If I could change, I'd rather be a one-tailed fox."

"..."

After Tu Shan Yan's scolding, Li Luo became even more listless. The usually eloquent Li Luo was speechless. Seeing that Li Luo seemed troubled, Tu Shan Yan continued to patiently comfort her.

"What's wrong? Still can't get over it? Can you please stop acting like this? This Huang Yunlan just popped up out of nowhere, spouting nonsense and leaving you speechless? Now you can't even utter a single word. Do you know how worried I am about you!"

"You're worried about me...!"
