Si Hai translated the statement as a question so he replied, "This one shall stay with my master."

Qin Yu looked at the unconscious girl and nodded in understanding. A fox spirit serving a human girl was rather uncommon. Intelligent spirit beasts were full of pride after all. But how true those words were, only Si Hai knew.

He swept a glance at the fox and saw there was no mark on his body. Spirits who wholeheartedly pledged themselves to a master should bear a symbol. And yet, there was none on him.

Would it be better or worse if he let this girl be connected to this young fox?

Judging from the fox's stubborn stance, there would be no way he could drive it away without force. So Qin Yu had to proceed with his plan even if there was the presence of an outsider.

Si Hai was in no position to interrogate the ancient spirit before him but judging from his actions, it seemed he knew who Hong Chun was.

Otherwise, there was no gain in healing a stranger.

But even if the ancient spirit turned out to be hostile to Hong Chun, Si Hai had no power to drive him away. So he could only watch from the sidelines.

Right now, the senior was inscribing strange ancient runes on Hong Chun and he wanted to ask what those were for but the senior's demeanor didn't allow interruptions.

Si Hai was also uncomfortable with the fact that this ancient spirit could probably finish him if he wanted to. Being a black fox, he was a natural enemy of a spirit with holy nature. But it was probably because the senior acknowledged his connection to Hong Chun that he was spared for now.

In truth, Si Hai was only overthinking. Qin Yu could care less about him. It wasn't in his personality to be violent even towards creatures of darkness.

His reason to be here was the human girl so there was no need to be concerned about anything else.

Hong Chun was unaware of the outside world.

She had no idea that the spell which bound her lost memories was being lifted.

As it was, she felt like she was trapped in hell.

The image of scorching flames wrapping Old Shang never left her eyes even if they were closed. She felt a fit of unholy anger consuming her.

She didn't commit any crime in this world. She honestly lived the life of an official's daughter. But why were they still after her?

By now, thoughts of 'this is just a novel,' 'I'm the author,' 'everything is under control' already vanished.

The plot of the novel had long been over. But it was obvious the world had other plans and the unfinished drafts started to create its own story.

She was so engrossed with following the plot of her first book. After that, she wanted to unravel the second book's incomplete story.

But come to think of it, she wasn't just an author in the previous world. Writing was only a minuscule part of her life.

Memories of her birth and of her death in that world started coming back. When she became Hong Chun, most of these things were forgotten as though they were sealed somewhere inside her mind.
