Tommorow I'll design that array and leave this fox body WWX told himself before curling under the starlight

However next morning he found himself wagging tail as LWJ stepped out of the inn. He even made it in time of those absurd Lan wakeup hours
2
"How did you find me?" Lan Zhan asks and stops talking because of the several people looking at him for talking to a fox

WWX was thrilled to see Lan Zhan again, even though they parted ways mere hours ago.

He has been a lonely spirit for a long time now
3
So he stood on his hind legs and tried real hard not to put mud stains on LWJs pristine white robes

LWJ Insted held both WWXs front legs in one hand supporting his weight and ran his hand over his head, petting the forehead, ears, neck.

WWX concluded that he likes being petted
4
He can almost pretend that things never turned ugly like it did in the past, wwx thought as he trotted by LWJs side back into the forest path

It would have been great if they could go night hunts together. Even after he gave up his sword he could still keep up in night hunting
5
Lan Zhan wouldn't approve his methods course. But he never saw wwx as evil. WWX always knew it even though he pretended Lan Zhan is not friends with him anymore. So much so that he himself started believing it
6
Now being a fox he can no longer wield any weapon not even guidao. But he can still be of use

So he will make sure Lan Zhan won't be bothered by anyone in this forest path.
7
WWX caught every bug, snake and fly that comes Lan Zhans direction. Snarled at any creatures that they encountered.

He could have hunted too but Lan Zhan won't eat them anyway
8
That night LWJ put down a mat and patted it.

Oh it's for wwx.! Lan Zhan is so thoughtful. He spinned three times before setting on it.

Then LWJ pulled out a comb and held it for the fox to sniff.

It smelled ?new?
9
Then he started gently running it over the fox head, ears combing the fur. It was ticklish but refreshing.

WWX tuned to sides giving access to the comb and protested everytime it was stopped. Lan Zhan is so gentle he didn't pull any fur even when combing the tail
10
Lan Zhan must have bought the rag and comb new just for wwx. Hanguan Jun is so thoughtful about everyone!

"bunnys also like being combed" LWJ said. WWX raised an ear hearing bunnys. "I know they are food for you"

Well, if Lan Zhan says he won't hunt bunnys again. Promise!
11
When LWJ started going through the mail he must have picked up before leaving WWX immediately missed the attention

Bothering Lan Zhan when he is reading was once a favourite game of his

LWJ is reading a very long letter. WWX peaked but caught only few characters
12
Mentions about mundane day to day things? Doing practice? Going to Cayi? Who is reporting their daily schedule to HGJ that's travelling.?

LXC won't have time and old man won't do such thing.

And Lan Zhan is having such a soft expression reading it?
13
Who? Who? Who? WWX poked his nose into the paper

"it's not a play thing"

Ofc WWX knows that. Tell him who is so important to Lan Zhans he gets such detailed updates. Did he marry?
14
Sadly WWX didn't get any answers that day or several days that followed where they visited villages scattered in the forest. Benevolent HGJ assisting with every big and small request.
15
WWX despised villages first because there is always a dog questioning the presence of a fox.

But LZ always protected him. He even carried the fox in his arms. WWX then protested everytime LWJ tried to put him down. He preferred the higher view point like the one he used to have
16
A group of people called upon them when they were deep in the forest. WWX became immediately alert and stood between them and LWJ because their vibes were off

"we know esteemed cultivators won't hurt mundane people"

Huh?

We'll take the money you carry and go our way

WHAT?
17
WWX snarled making the guy jump back

But LZ didn't say or do anything. He calmly handed his money pouch

WTF? Being a cultivator doesn't bar you from punching an asshole. Mundane strength is enough to break few teeth. WWX knows from the experience
18
Surely the Gusu Lan won't go bankrupt over few pieces of silver and LZ probably rather not waste energy over these lowlives. Still their nuts need to be crushed for the audacity. WWX kept snarling

"get this thing away"

"leave the animal alone" LWJ finally spoke
19
"this has very few coins" the dipshit spoke again

"take his jewellery as well. And those silks are valuable" another joined. Who do these these thieves think they are? WWX growled at the man showing all his teeth

The man kicked WWX making him fly several feet away
20
Before he even managed to get up the man who kicked him went several feet back with a punch square in his face. NICE

WWX wend straight to the closest ankle and sank his teeth

The group soon ran away with elbows to faces, boots to guts and teeth to anywhere fox could reach
21
The bad day didn't end there. Blood spilled during the fight has woken up some evil spirits in the area. Bad and dangerous ones

Lan Zhan shouldn't fight them alone. There are too many and too vicious to safely handle alone. He should go bring some reinforcements
22
Insted LWJ leashed him to a tree a safe distance away and went to fight all of it alone

WWX bit the robe until LWJ had to tare it away. Then he howled and cried but LZ wouldn't listen

WWX pulled at the leash and tried to bite it. LWJ has put a talisman to release it in 3h so +
23
+he is stuck until then. Did he assume he won't be back to release the fox? Why did he still go to a dangerous fight?

Only if WWX can help somehow. If he had atlest a whisp of spiritual energy he'd have sent a paper man. How do fox yao absorb energy from outer environment?
24
No time other than now to try! If he concentrate enough...

At the end WWX managed to get a single dry leaf with a drop of his blood fly towards the battle. There was no smooth sailing like a proper spell. It also took far longer than he would like.

Fight has dragged so long
25
LZ seemed so exhausted but still standing. Bitchen and Wangji are attacking simultaneously. The spirits have taken considerable damage too

WWX can't do much like this. He is basically experimenting at the expense of his soul. Nothing new actually

He manages to keep distracting
26
Any little assistance is worth it in a night hunt and assist WWX did. However the fox body isn't made to handle such a thing. Yaoguai takes years to abrorb energy from the environment and then cultivate before they can use spiritual energy.
27
Cultivation in any form has no shortcuts. This is a sure recipe for a qi deviation

As LWJ felled the last spirit WWX has started to feel the tether to the body weakening and control to the leaf loosening. His soul is going to be damaged beyond repair. But LZ is safe. Worth it!
28
Last thing he saw before the world went dark was LWJ noticing the leaf with a blood drop and then Lan Zhans face turning ashen
