Hearing Lin Yuwei’s words, Qianxun finally felt reassured and nodded, then said, "Alright, now that everything is out in the open, you two can chat. I’m heading back now. If you run into any difficulties later on, come find me."
Upon hearing this, both Lin Yuwei and Xiong Bo hastily replied, "Thanks a lot for today!"
Seeing the two of them speaking in unison, Qianxun couldn’t help but look back at them with a smile and teased, "Oh, quite the understanding you’ve got there!"
Immediately, both their faces flushed red.
Seeing this, Qianxun grinned and didn’t linger any longer, "Alright, no need to see me out. I’m off, goodbye! The day after tomorrow is the final exam, so don’t get too excited and mess it up!"
With that, he turned and left Xiong Bo’s home.
After Qianxun left, Lin Yuwei became nervous again.
Xiong Bo was also somewhat apprehensive.
But soon, Lin Yuwei cleared her throat and then asked, "Xiong Bo... can you, um, change back now?"
Hearing this, Xiong Bo was startled, then nodded, "Sure."
Lin Yuwei’s eyes instantly brightened, "Oh, then turn back into a panda! It’s really cute." Newest update provided by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Hearing this, Xiong Bo felt incredibly glad that his true form was the universally beloved giant panda, and still a cub at that!
He had always known that humans adored their juvenile state the most.
Once Xiong Bo changed back into a panda, Lin Yuwei immediately approached and couldn’t stop petting him, "Xiong Bo, you’re just too cute! How can you be so adorable?"
Hearing this, Xiong Bo felt both joy and worry.
He was happy that Lin Yuwei was no longer afraid of him being a demon, but he was worried because she seemed to prefer his animal form over his human shape!
But in a few more years, he would come of age, and he certainly wouldn’t be able to maintain his current soft, adorable appearance by then. Would Lin Yuwei start to dislike him at that point?
However, it didn’t take long for Xiong Bo to stop thinking about these things.
Because Lin Yuwei, in her excitement, kissed him several times on the head!
In that moment, Xiong Bo’s entire body dared not move, and his little heart thumped wildly out of control.
Meanwhile, Qianxun had already returned home.
At that moment, a video call ringtone emanated from her cellphone.
Seeing that it was Huo Tianzun, Qianxun immediately answered the video call.
However, as soon as the video connected, Qianxun saw blood all over Huo Tianzun’s face.
Qianxun’s heart sank instantly, "Yanzhi, what happened?"
"It’s nothing, don’t worry, it’s not my blood. I wanted to show you this." Having said that, Huo Tianzun adjusted the camera angle, aiming it at a stone sarcophagus.
Above the sarcophagus, several sky lanterns hung, and inside the coffin lay a corpse dressed in a red ancient bridal gown, appearing to be asleep.
"This corpse seems to be Xia Dynasty Princess Huo Yanran, take a look and see if it’s her," said Huo Tianzun.
According to historical records, Princess Yanran was the biological sister of Emperor Xia, and due to an ominous fate, she was sent to grow up in a Taoist temple shortly after birth.
After coming of age, Princess Yanran returned to the palace and became a Female Priest, praying for blessings for the Xia Dynasty. However, not long after Emperor Xia died, she too passed away.
Princess Yanran was supposed to be buried in the Royal Tomb after her death, yet he stumbled upon her grave here while tracking a ghost.
But after a millennium, he was not certain whether the woman in the coffin was indeed Huo Yanran, so he let his "baby" have a personal look.
As Qianxun saw the seemingly slumbering woman in the coffin, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Judging by her appearance, she indeed looks like Huo Yanran!"
