Now that he knew she was alright, he was able to relax enough to ponder whether it was truly worth it to explain his understanding.
Should he tell the truth or lie about his ability to read the Latin on the wall? Did he trust them enough to explain that he’d basically stolen the original Meng Yixuan’s body?
A shiver ran down his spine at the fear of rejection, a feeling he used to be so very used to.
In the few months he’d been here, he almost forgot about the life he’d lived before coming.
He wondered, for a split second, whether his parents were happier now.
The thought of never seeing them again only lightly had a grip on his heart.
He remembered when he first got here, he was truly devastated at the thought.
They weren’t the best parents by far, but he could admit that they did try, and they were the only ones he had so he couldn’t even compare.
This Meng Yixuan was an orphan who’d been given little opportunity to fly, so all the novel’s Meng Yixuan knew was to harass the male lead in hopes of someday becoming better than said protagonist.
Honestly, he was truly pitiful in Meng Yixuan’s eyes. A tragedy untold.
Huli Bao noticed his dejected appearance and pushed his soft nose into the other’s neck, nuzzling into it.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Xuan?” The sad far away look in his eyes almost made him cry himself, the other’s rare dejection was truly getting to him.

And ever since, he’d begun to find the other to be irresistibly adorable.
He couldn’t help but want to pinch his soft cheeks, stroke his soft hair and raise him as his own bunny.
The irony came from the fact that had this adorable bunny been anyone else, regardless of shape size or species, he’d have instantly disregarded, in not annihilated them for their treason-like acts against him.
But this one was his saviour, who’d helped him despite knowing that he wasn’t anything good. And he even understood his speech when it was more primitive!
Previously, he’d come across a berry that his sect members fed him as a joke, which caused his voice box to swell and ache to the point where speaking too much felt like he was strangled!
As such, he developed a habit of speaking like that due to the unknown trauma of that time and the spiritual healing water Meng Yixuan had given him was truly helpful, allowing him not only to cultivate more proficiently but it also alleviated the painful memories.
To him, this righteous cultivator was very special, and he held him as dear to him as his closest companions.
To be fair, that was simply because the other’s charm was really powerful!
Huli Bao had no idea what he was feeling, only knowing that Meng Yixuan’s sadness translated into his own as well.
Meng Yixuan chuckled softly at the movement of the fox bringing his hands up to stroke the beautiful moonlit fur.
“‘m okay, just thinking.”
Meng Yixuan knew that even if he didn’t tell his Hei Jie, he would someday tell the truth to this fox companion of his.
He didn’t believe in a relationship coated in lies.
And he truly did feel that he could trust all the beasts (as he’d just recently learned) in the room.
“About the ancient script—”
“I’d like to say something—”
Lang Hei and Meng Yixuan spoke at the same time, after Lang Hei had noticed the other’s anxiety.
Being a wolf with innate knowledge of the universe, she could tell that his nerves were caused by their previous agreement.
Meng Yixuan nodded towards her, “you go first.” acting as if the person who flinched at her words wasn’t him at all.
“Mm, then I will.” She hummed in agreement.
“Xuan Di needn’t fret over my previous question, I was simply curious and wanted to ask more of it. We wolves are creatures born with a thirst for knowledge so a gap in it can often lead to such boundless curiosities, please do forgive this senseless Hei Jie!”
Meng Yixuan was not expecting that at all!
He shook his head at her awkwardness,”that’s what I was about to say. I’m… not from here, I’d studied the ancient script, as you call it, in my reality’s academy. There is in fact a lot I know that I can’t say but with all certainty I can say that I do not plan to cause any harm.”
The others (except the sleeping Xiao Xing) seemed to understand what he was getting at, so Huli Bao asked, anxious of the answer in his heart.
“Will you go back?”
“That, I don’t know. I do want to stay, for all it’s worth, but I don’t know if the universe will allow it.”
Huli Bao, unbeknownst to himself, whimpered quietly from beside his ear, where he hadn’t moved.
The Dao that had sent Meng Yixuan there cackled in delight, knowing that the new story was far too interesting to change now.
It didn’t have even half the heart to break it’s children like that, not after giving hope. It couldn’t just take it away!
