"Family… for real…?"
A morning ray of sunlight washed over the red foxgirl's tear-streaked peach-blossom eyes, giving them a warm glow. She gazed foggily at the gentle boy squatting before her. Ever since the old Daoist who raised her passed away, she'd barely let herself dream of a scene like this.
For Yuebai, family meant the White Fox Clan. But for Jinyue, her family lay buried under the demonic abyss. Slowly, the bewitching fox girl was touched by Yino's sincere look. She raised her arms, leaning into his embrace.
At some point, a pinkish holy crest shimmered on the back of Yino's hand, but right when Jinyue closed her eyes, about to accept his offer of belonging, she froze. She jerked her head up, staring at Yino suspiciously.
"Wait a sec! I…I don't buy that!"
Her sudden outburst shattered the tender moment. Yino blinked, pretending to look puzzled.
