The celestial demon disappeared again, maybe not forever, but at least in the next few hundred years, the human world will never be infested by the celestial demon again.

Because the protective barrier of Xiquan Mountain still exists, this time the Heavenly Demon could not walk out of Xiquan Mountain. Although some demonized monsters came out of the broken barrier, due to the murder of a tourist group, human beings strengthened the protection of that area. It didn't take long for them to be taken down one by one by non-human patrolling.

Later, humans came to Xiquan Mountain.

Xiquan Mountain has been hidden from the world for a long time. If it wasn't for the demonized demon spirits fleeing, and the power of gods and demons breaking through the barrier, it would be difficult for humans to find this place.

But now that Xundu has been found, and the former Xiquan Mountain is indeed a beautiful place, it is inevitable that it will be well developed by people.

Fortunately, humans now pay more attention to the environment than they did in the early years when they were desperately developing. They developed Xiquan Mountain into a natural scenic spot, maintaining the natural features of the place to a great extent.

Human beings don't know Xiquan Mountain, so Xiquan Mountain has a new name, which was collected from netizens when the government developed the tourist area, and it is called Shiwaigu.

Nothing new, even a little tacky, but for modern humans who just discovered this valley in the mountains, it is like a fairyland outside the world.

There is no longer that big tree in the valley.

It is just like what Yu Ling experienced in her previous life. After dissipating all the remaining divine power, along with the dazzling spiritual light and demonic energy, it dissipates inch by inch in this world that no longer needs gods.

The sacred tree disappeared, carrying thousands of broken wishes hanging on the branches, and went away like smoke with the wind.

All the demon spirits of Xiquan Mountain went with it, leaving only the dilapidated old house of Yu's family.

Later, the old house became the focus of publicity in the scenic spot.

"The architectural style, the well, and many utensils and clothes all indicate that ancient people lived here. But these things don't look old and have no antique value. In addition, there are still a few modern buildings left here. Clothes and supplies, it can be seen that this place seems to be isolated from the world, but it still has a certain connection with the outside world. Unfortunately, it seems that some kind of natural disaster has suffered, and the damage to the house has forced all the people who lived here to move out. And judging from the newness and oldness of the relics, it should not have been moved for too long. If we could find this place a few years earlier, maybe we can really appreciate the way of life of the ancients and the unique customs of the ancients here.”

Yu Ling sat in front of the desk in the bedroom, and a desktop computer with a large curved screen had been added to the desk.

Looking at the female tour guide who was seriously introducing in the video, she couldn't help but lift her chin and let out a long sigh.

Natural disasters?

Maybe it was, the Heavenly Demon destroyed Xiquan Mountain, and also let the aura of heaven and earth gathered there for thousands of years because of the sacred tree return to heaven and earth.

Humans discovered that secret place and explored it with curiosity, but they could only find a few traces of the existence of those demon spirits.

For the demon spirits in the mountains, for the Mu Clan, or for the Yu Clan, she used to be resentful and afraid, but now, there is nothing left, only some emotion left.

Humans don't know, and neither do many goblins living in the city, that the Heavenly Demon that wrecked the world thousands of years ago has returned.

This time, in the eyes of the two races, there were no disasters, and naturally there were no heroes.

Some are just a past that has never been discovered and will not be remembered.

What color was the sky on that day?How much rain did it rain that day?

Yu Ling was a little confused.

She only knew that at that time, she thought she was going to disappear into the world completely this time, and she felt so much reluctance in her heart, but when she thought that she was no longer alone this time, she felt relieved.

Everything is as it was in the previous life.

She destroyed her former body and dissipated all her divine power, just to purify all the devilish energy in this world.

The rhizome of the ancient tree sent her power to the entire Xiquan Mountain, like the nectar after a long drought, driving away all resentment and pain.

The Heavenly Demon struggled like crazy, but the demon energy suppressed by the divine power was completely unable to penetrate the spiritual barrier erected by the power of the Nine Tails.

The Fox Clan, who had been toyed and applauded by it, finally launched the most thorough revenge against it with the hatred of the past.

The suppression and purification of divine power, and the counterattack of two powerful forces made it completely dissipate between heaven and earth with its unwillingness.Its roaring sound is extremely ear-piercing, like thousands of evil spirits crawling out of purgatory and howling in the world, but they will all return to purgatory in the end.

The moment the sacred tree dissipated, Yu Ling looked at it quietly, as if looking at her own destination.

But she waited for a long time, but she didn't wait until the exhausted self dissipated with the wind.

She looked at Zhong Chuyun at the side in astonishment.

Zhong Chuyun only smiled at her, his complexion was pale, but the corners of his bloodless lips were slightly raised.

It was she who experienced life and death with her.

She resisted, so they all survived.

"You're dead, and I'm still here."

This time, she finally had enough strength to protect the person she wanted to protect.

"But this life may not be too long." Zhong Chuyun said, gently wiping the tears from the corners of Yu Ling's eyes with his fingertips, "We will never be separated again, will you regret it?"

"It doesn't need to be long, I will cherish every day." Yu Ling sniffed, raised her eyebrows and smiled, with tears in her smile, "I'm afraid you will regret it."

In the next second, she threw herself into Zhong Chuyun's arms, just like a thousand years ago, just being a willful little demon in front of her own fox.

"Thank you for coming to find me, even if you forgot, you have been looking for me..."

You have never been here in the previous life. This world is so dark and dull to me.

How lucky, once again, I met you who came to look for me as soon as I opened my eyes.

……

With the annihilation of the sacred tree, the gods who once guarded Xiquan Mountain disappeared from the world.

What still exists today is just a little cotton flower saved by the fox.

From now on, she will follow Zhong Chuyun alone in life and death as if she grew up on Zhong Chuyun.

As Zhong Chuyun said, the remaining lifespans are divided between the two, and perhaps there is not much time left, but the life of a demon is extremely long, and there are too many repetitive and monotonous days, so there is no need to care more or less.

She was very happy, at least from then on, she and Zhong Chuyun truly never separated in life and death.

Maybe one day, they will disappear together, but before that, they will live every ordinary life peacefully according to human rules.

On that day, it seemed that Zhong Chuyun, who died with Yu Ling once, was very tired.

Accompanied by Yu Ling, she slept in the back seat of the car for a long time.

They lean on each other, you lean on my shoulder, I lean on your head.

Clenched hands tightly, no one wants to let go.

After Zhong Chutian, who was outside the audience, failed in his attempt to gossip, he sighed and drove back to the pre-booked hotel in the city.

Everything has become ordinary and ordinary from that moment on.

"Hello, Zhong Chuyun." On the big bed in the hotel, Yu Ling asked curiously, "Why were you called Lin Shuang back then?"

"It's just a fake name."

"I'm just asking, there should be a reason for every name, right?" Yu Ling said stubbornly, "Names are not arranged in numbers."

Zhong Chuyun thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's still a number arrangement."

Yu Ling widened her surprised eyes: "Huh?"

"My mother's surname is Lin, and I'm the second child in the family, isn't it just Lin Shuang?"

"..."

Zhong Chuyun, Zhong Chuyun, you really don't look like a fox.

It's fine if you don't know how to lie, isn't there any scheming in using a fake name?

This is as long as anyone who knows a little about your fox clan can pick up horses in an instant, right?

Only I, the little cotton who came to your side from another time and space, know nothing about it and have been kept in the dark by you for so long!

Yu Ling choked for a long time, and finally whispered: "I want to know this sooner, maybe I can recognize you sooner!"

"But I can't remember you. You must be very sad to recognize me alone?" Zhong Chuyun said, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, and smiled, "It's better to remember together, so that I won't hurt you."

"I don't care."

"I care."

At this point, they fell into silence together.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Zhong Chuyun murmured again.

She said, "Will the demon come again?"

Yu Ling on the side put down her cell phone, pondered for a long time, and replied softly: "Yes, as long as there are grievances in the world, they will always gather in one place. But it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right, we probably won't see that day." Zhong Chuyun's tone was very light, without any trace of sadness.

At the end, she thought for a while and asked, "Are you the last god in this world?"

Yu Ling shook her head and said: "I don't know, I only know that when the entrance to the heaven was blocked, I chose to stay in the human world, and I can't remember much... Before I came to the human world, I gave up a lot of things. It's incomplete, you know."

"You said, what should people do if the Heavenly Demon reappears in the future?"

"There is always a way." Yu Ling thought for a while, and said, "Just like you can call me a thousand years later to save you, I can also call you a thousand years ago to save me. And our choice , although it was only for myself, but it also changed the plan to stop the demon... Many things are destined in the dark, neither gods nor demons are the masters of the world, there is always some power that can maintain the balance of this world."

"You little cotton, why do you speak so old-fashioned?"

"If you think about it, I'm older than you!"

"Actually, you're just an adult."

"No, I'm over 600 years old, and I'm an adult!"

As Yu Ling spoke, she glanced sideways at Zhong Chuyun.

With just that one glance, she saw a half-smile look in Zhong Chuyun's eyes.

Yu Ling blinked involuntarily, and swallowed subconsciously: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

As soon as the words fell, he was held by his little hand.

She saw Zhong Chuyun shifted to her side, approached her ear, and asked softly.

"Want to try?"

"Try...try what?"

"Of course it's something to do when you're an adult."

"……Um."

The thin-skinned little Mianmian only held back for two seconds before letting the blush run from her cheeks to her ears.

……

After that day, Yu Ling became a real Zhong family member.

However, unlike what was agreed at the beginning, her "marriage partner" has changed from a particularly noisy fox to the best fox in her heart.

Speaking of which, the title "sister-in-law" was just a joke to Zhong Chutian at first.

But now that it has really come true, Zhong Chutian is not too surprised.

However, on the day they returned home and publicly confirmed their relationship, Yu Ling still had the following conversation with Zhong Chutian.

[What do you do every day: To be honest, it's hard for me to accept a [-]-year-old girl as my sister-in-law. 】

[Witty Cotton: Didn't Zhong Chuyun tell you that I saved your entire family 1000 years ago, you have to respect me a little bit! 】

[What do you do every day: Then it's hard for me to accept a little girl who likes steamed dumplings as my sister-in-law. 】

[Witty Cotton: I don't like steamed dumplings, it's just that the leek and eggs have enough moisture, and if they are boiled, they will be very watery! 】

[What do you do every day: I want dumplings! 】

[Witty Cotton: [Are you deliberately finding fault? ]]

[Witty Cotton: All right, Dumplings. 】

[What do you do every day: All right, sister-in-law. 】

At that time, seeing Zhong Chutian's reply, Yu Ling instantly deleted the three words "stinky brother" that she had just typed but had not yet sent.

Soon, she saw the following words.

Zhong Chutian said, no matter what, thank her for making his sister finally look a little like he remembered. For so many years, he thought that his second sister would never come back.

Yu Ling stared at the phone in a daze for a while, and finally happily walked around the living room several times with the phone in her arms.

Zhong Chuyun's only relative in this world has already recognized her.

Since then, she has really integrated into this place.

In the days after that, Yu Ling returned to the western restaurant and worked for more than two years. Many colleagues came and went. Some seniors said that it was like this. Most of them did not work in the restaurant for a long time. If you become a store manager, your monthly salary won't be much higher.

Yu Ling was afraid that she couldn't find a better job, so she insisted on not leaving, and even changed several "posts" in this store on the way.

For a while I was on the night shift, for a while I worked in the back kitchen, and for a while I was even transferred to help in the pastry shop next to the back kitchen.

The store manager told everyone a year ago that no matter how long everyone decides to stay here, she hopes that everyone can get as much work experience as possible in this small place.In this way, whoever asks for leave can make up for it. Second, everyone is more versatile, and there is a better way out when they turn around.

Yu Ling is a fast learner, but also suffers a lot. She knows more and more things, and her salary has gradually increased. Although it is not much, it is enough for her to buy a lot of things she wants.

More and more things that belonged to her were stuffed into that small home.

Just like building a nest, it gave her a full sense of security.

For example, in the bedroom, there is a desktop computer she bought on the desk, and the brand new wardrobe beside it is full of clothes for her and Zhong Chuyun all year round.

Also, the living room has been replaced with a bigger and softer sofa, and she has replaced the former glass coffee table with an electric warming table.

There is a fire in the middle of the electric heating table, and it can cook hot pot like an induction cooker.

In winter, she can prepare the meat and vegetables to be served, cook the hot pot soup base, and sit with Zhong Chuyun at the electric heating table in the living room, watching TV while eating their small hot pot.

Forgot to mention, Yu Ling was originally reluctant to throw away the upper and lower beds.

But after much deliberation, for the sake of convenience, it was eliminated after a few months.

So, they have a double bed.

From the vase to the floor, and then to the upper and lower floors, winding and twisting for so long, it can be regarded as finding the days when we slept together thousands of years ago.

The only difference is that someone has a little grudge in his heart.

When the two lay on the new bed for the first time, Yu Ling couldn't help but whispered with emotion.

"I don't know who said 'no' when I asked for help, and left me outside the house for a long time."

"..."

"I don't know who locked my spiritual power back then, turned me back into cotton, put it in a vase, and told me to be honest."

"..."

"I don't know who was cold to me back then, often making fun of me for not understanding this and that, and trying to marry me to someone else"

"..."

"Probably a mute?"

As soon as Yu Ling finished speaking, she was dragged into Zhong Chuyun's arms.

Zhong Chuyun said: "I don't know who it is, I always look at another person through me."

Yu Ling frowned, and retorted: "Isn't that you too?"

"I don't know." Zhong Chuyun said with a smile, "I only know that I really mind you for once."

"You...you didn't say..."

"I'm saying it now."

"How can you be like this! Is it interesting to eat your own vinegar?"

"Interesting."

Yu Ling couldn't help thinking, when this fox was on the bed, it really looked like a fox.

"It's boring!" She stretched out her hand and pushed Zhong Chuyun who was approaching, but seeing that she couldn't push away, she bit her lip and muttered softly, "The drama I'm chasing is about to air, it will be later..."

"Look online later."

"Also... okay..." Yu Ling said, thought for a while, turned over, and said seriously, "Then I have to do it this time."

"Are you coming?" Zhong Chuyun looked up at Yu Ling.

"I've made progress!" Yu Ling nodded seriously, and added not so confidently, "It should be..."

"Okay." Zhong Chuyun responded, wrapping his arms around the back of Yu Ling's neck.

……

The TV in the living room was turned off, and a new drama at ten o'clock was playing.

That night, or every night, thousands of families had different dreams.

(end of text)

--------------------

The author has something to say:

It's over, there's a little extra.

The following are some final thoughts, you don't need to read them.

In terms of character design, there is actually nothing to say. Cotton X, which belongs to Little Sun, was once a fox that became an iceberg after Little Sun lost his memory. If I want to talk about it, it is probably that I have changed the character design.

Because the original idea was that the fox lost his memory, and Little Cotton remembered everything, but found a problem when designing the outline.That is, thousands of years ago, Little Cotton should have loved the fox, otherwise why would he sacrifice himself to kill the demon for her, and cut off the heart and soul bond between each other, just to let the fox live?If you have loved, then Little Cotton remembers everything. When you go to another world and meet Zhong Chuyun who looks exactly like a fox but doesn't know him, how will you deal with yourself?She will suffer and struggle, but she shouldn't be emotional, because if she loves Lin Shuang, she won't be able to face Zhong Chuyun with normal emotions, then this article will become a substitute literature.But what I want to write is actually a simple two-way redemption, two-way rush, love and forget, and the feeling of being desperate to do it again.

So after much deliberation, I think it is most reasonable for Cotton to forget part of it. Only when she remembers Lin Shuang's good, but forgets the bad things she has experienced together, and the proof of her love, can she stay by Zhong Chuyun's side.Because of this, it seems that Little Cotton has a really big heart. After leaving Lin Shuang, she can live with Zhong Chuyun because of Zhong Chuyun's kindness to her, just like a little scumbag, eating what is in the bowl and looking at what is in the pot ( No……).

If the little angels have such a feeling, it is not an illusion. This unconscious feeling of "scum" is because her memory is not complete.The moment her soul was separated, she knew that she would forget, but her strong obsession made her remember all the good things about Lin Shuang, but it was only all the good things, she forgot that she had ever loved.In this case, Cotton is a selfish existence. She will subconsciously feel that she will follow whoever treats her well, and that those who treat her well will definitely give her the security that she has never enjoyed before.

Because of this, I was still asking my friends if such a persona would be unlikable when I opened the pit, but when I really opened the pit, my mentality became: "Whether she is likable or not, there is no perfect in the world anyway, rush !"

In fact, the relationship between Cotton and Fox arose thousands of years ago, and after a thousand years, it is only a continuation of the relationship after they have forgotten each other. In a modern city where there is no danger and no need to run away, there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Just like ordinary humans, they are down-to-earth , Finding the warmth of the past bit by bit, it belongs to the fact that the souls are familiar with each other, but the brain doesn't remember it. It wasn't until the memory recovered that I found out that I loved it once, and I still can't let it go.Then this article basically puts all the focus on the memory stage. If it is not well written, it is tantamount to useless, and readers will not feel that they have loved.

In fact, I don’t know whether I write waste or not. I can only say that in the last few chapters, I really cried with snot and tears in each chapter. I was shocked when my mother came into my room to talk to me about life.But it’s really not enough to move yourself. If I can’t move you who see this, then it means I’m not strong enough to control this way of writing. I will continue to work hard next time.

Then, I saw a little angel saying that the style of painting was a bit inconsistent.How to put it this way, I think I have worked very hard to make the painting style consistent, but it should be a problem of ability that caused a certain sense of fragmentation.In fact, since Chapter 1, the text has been using dreams and the sense of loss that Xiao Mian appears from time to time to drag the overall style of painting, telling everyone that there are tragic, sad and heart-wrenching things behind this, I believe there should be no such thing When the little angels see those contents, they will think that this article is pure sugar.However, since there is still a gap in perception, it must be that I have not dealt with it well. It is still the old saying, try your best this time, and work harder next time.

In fact, after the end of "Little Alpaca", because of mental problems, I basically didn't write well. It feels a little raw. This book is for rehabilitation. I thought about opening up the pattern and writing group portraits, but I was afraid that my mentality was not stable yet. It collapsed again, so the overall design was much smaller, and it became a short story of two people redeeming each other due to the overlapping of time, space and fate.

The hesitation is to practice hand rehabilitation, and I don't care much about the data, so the writing method is bolder, and I also added some Zhoumu plots that I didn't think of when I first wanted to pre-acquire.Although it may not look smooth, I really didn’t do it very well, but I was very happy in the process of trying. Although the parts revealed in the memory of each small foreshadowing are very handy, they are also well written. Snot and tears.

My friend said: "Ah, it's so short? Don't you want to earn back the cover money?" I thought about it, and felt that the story should end where it should end. There were only so many things in my mind, so I decided to use the dehydrated writing method at the beginning. , Slow down to drag the word count later, even if I make money, it is not the story I really want.Besides, I not only made an appointment for the picture of the cover, I will post it on Weibo after the extra episode is finished, and if you like it, you can take it yourself.

Anyway, thank you little angels for being with me all the way, I don’t want to write something that doesn’t change, and I don’t want to copy the achievements of the text many times in order to make money.So I will continue to try in the future, and there is a possibility of overturning if I try. I myself am an author whose level fluctuates with emotions, and I really can't guarantee that every book will be eye-catching.I can only say, thank you for remembering me, and I hope you will remember me. In the future, I will open a new hole and see my pen name. Give me a chance to skip my crappy copywriting and see if the first few chapters suit my appetite. , Don’t block me if it doesn’t suit your appetite, what if one day a book suits your appetite and we meet again?

Alright, that's all for the long-winded words. The next book is the official return. I will try my best to save the manuscript before opening the pit, and I will never continue to fish for more.

The little angels are destined to meet again (ah no, there will be a special goodbye).
