Slowly, Liu Zhenhan began to feel that the doorway under the fox spirit began to warm up, which was a good sign. As long as her body could retain heat, there was still a chance to save her.
Liu Zhenhan gestured to the wolf skin that had slid off her shoulder, carefully covering her shoulder again. He picked up her white, delicate arm and continually rubbed it with his hand. Gradually, the fox spirit's arm also started to get warmer.
With unblinking eyes, Liu Zhenhan watched the fox spirit's face. After being busy just then, he finally had some spare time to appreciate the extremely beautiful face resting on his arms.
The fox spirit had a high nose, thin eyebrows and eyes, and her skin was very good in texture. Her ivory skin, surrounded by her red hair, appeared dazzlingly white.
Liu Zhenhan felt a feeling that he couldn't describe when looking at the face of the fox spirit. After thinking for a while, he recalled the impression left upon him when people had pointed out to him a disreputable woman back at his manufacturing team.
Was it flirtatious? Liu Zhenhan quickly denied the idea. Could an unconscious girl be flirtatious? That would be nonsense.
It was enchanting! A charm that naturally makes a man's heart flip! This face was naturally that type of appearance! Liu Zhenhan finally found the words in his limited vocabulary to describe her.
Her pointed chin, long eyelashes, attractive lips, and perfect figure. There were countless beautiful women, some were dignified, some were valiant, and some were as cold as icebergs, but those who naturally attracted men with their looks definitely belonged to this kind.
Although Liu Zhenhan had never seen the girl's eyes open, he imagined that they would surely be talking eyes, and they would be particularly bright.
Thinking about it, Liu Zhenhan unintentionally hugged her a bit tighter.
Suddenly, he felt a furry movement in his clothes, and Liu Zhenhan was stunned. Guoguo's little head peered out from his arms, her big ears swaying triumphantly, appearing to be greatly pleased with herself.
"Little rascal! You scared the hell out of me!" Liu Zhenhan made a grimace at the small being. Guoguo "squeaked" in response, and stuck out her tender, little tongue at him.
No matter what, Guoguo's action managed to wake Liu Zhenhan up from his reverie. Thanks to this small interruption, Liu Zhenhan's flushed face began to normalize.
Liu Zhenhan, who had managed to navigate through the maze of female charm, now found himself in another quandary.
The things he faced at the moment filled him with numerous questions. Liu Zhenhan was quite confused. He knew he had clearly sacrificed himself. He could remember the scenes from the battlefield clearly even now, but why did he wake up on a deserted island? Moreover, the island was inhabited by strange beasts, and now there was a beautiful girl with a fox tail who looked like a human.
Liu Zhenhan did not know how many times he had pondered this question in the past two days. He felt like his head was about to explode thinking about it so much.
The sky was gradually brightening. The sun was casually showing half its smiling face from the sea level. Looking at the dewdrops hanging on the brambles at the door and the misty fog on the distant hills, Liu Zhenhan felt as if he were dreaming.
A faint scent wafted through his nose, it was coming from the fox spirit in his arms. The smell was so pleasant that Liu Zhenhan couldn't help but think of the Gardenia flowers back in his hometown.
Liu Zhenhan felt that the body in his arms was no longer as cold as it was last night. He quickly spread the wolf skin on the damp grass bed, gently laid the fox spirit down, half-cushioning and half-wrapping her body with the wolf skin which just about covered her.
The little fox spirit's eyebrows furrowed, and her lips were subtly moving. Liu Zhenhan was not sure if she wanted to say something or not. He quickly picked up a coconut and cut a large hole in it with a curved knife, intending to give her some coconut juice. If he had a syringe, he would have liked to inject her with some coconut juice.
Despite her parched lips, the little fox spirit kept her mouth closed and the coconut juice couldn't get in. After several attempts by Liu Zhenhan, the wolf skin mattress was soaked with coconut juice.
Liu Zhenhan touched her head, which was burning hot, "Oh no!"
Liu Zhenhan knew that a high fever at this point could sometimes be fatal. He quickly patted open another coconut, grabbed Guoguo, and pointed at the coconut.
Without any hesitation, Guoguo jumped into the coconut and began to chew. After a few bites, she was pulled out by Liu Zhenhan.
"Woof..." Liu Zhenhan pointed at the coconut and made a spraying gesture for Guoguo.
Guoguo shook her head, clearly reluctant.
"Hurry up!" Liu Zhenhan steeled his face, which was as stern as a tile plate.
Guoguo had no choice but to jump out of the coconut, take a deep breath, and exhale. As soon as the juice and coconut flesh inside the coconut met the ball of her breath, they quickly crystallized into a chunk of ice.
Upon seeing Guoguo expel the energy orb and suddenly become listless, even her usually bright golden fur appearing slightly dull, Liu Zhenhan felt an ache in his heart. He hugged Guoguo tightly and kissed her several times.
He wrapped some ice in one of his socks and applied it to the fox spirit's forehead. Liu Zhenhan took a sigh of relief, quickly took a sip of coconut juice, passed a few sips to the fox spirit, this time she drank the water, although did choke and cough a few times.
"There, there!" Liu Zhenhan wiped his own sweat.
Without waiting for him to calm down, Guoguo quickly ran to where the fox spirit was lying, flopped on the wolf-skin bedding, rolled onto her back and kept blinking at Liu Zhenhan. She non-stop licked her lips and made a thirsty gesture, while "Guoguo"ing non-stop and swaying her large tail.
"You little rascal!" Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes in exasperation. Despite his grumble, he still had no choice but to give her a sip of coconut juice.
Staring at his water-dripping home, Liu Zhenhan considered how he could cook something warm to restore the fox spirit's strength. Having thought about it, he had a plan. He picked up his sickle, went to the red willow forest, and cut down three or four bowl-thick red willow trees. He lashed them together with vines, and hauled them back like an ox pulling a cart.
Halfway, he disturbed a fat rabbit-like creature hidden in the grass when pulling the trees. Liu Zhenhan dropped the trees and pounced. The fat rabbit opened its mouth and water arrow shot out, grazing Liu Zhenhan's arm and leaving a gash.
"Gosh!" Liu Zhenhan hissed in pain but still managed to seize the fat rabbit and twisted its neck to kill it.
Liu Zhenhan had seen plenty of these fat rabbits in the past few days, sneaking into the thorny bushes. They scurried into their burrows at his approach just like mice. Liu Zhenhan had been too busy cutting grass to build his house, producing pots and making salt, to deal with them. He didn't expect that it would hit him hard today.
Liu Zhenhan examined his wound and saw that although blood was flowing, the cut was not deep, about half an inch.
"This damn place!" Liu Zhenhan shook his head hopelessly. Everything here had a freakish nature to it. Apart from the sea birds in the sky, everything else was weird and he had already suffered because of it.
Back home, Liu Zhenhan quickly tore a corner off the long fox spirit dress in the corner to bandage his arm.
The red willow trees he brought back were also stripped of branches by him. He used the sickle to remove the wet bark, revealing the fresh white wood underneath. As Liu Zhenhan sliced the bark off, he constantly praised the usability of the sickle in his hands.
The stripped trunk quickly caught fire. These trees seemed to be full of fat, not only constantly exuding resin, but also being particularly combustion-resistant. When burned, they actually crackled like bamboo.
Yesterday night, he had collected quite a bit of rainwater in the two large pots hanging outside. Liu Zhenhan used one pot to clean the fat rabbit, and then started stewing the rabbit meat over the fire.
He went back and touched the fox spirit's head, the temperature had decreased significantly, and her complexion had improved considerably. Liu Zhenhan saw that she could barely open her eyes, and felt genuinely happy, resulting in him laughing foolishly.
After feeding the fox spirit some coconut juice, Liu Zhenhan helped her hang up the clothes she had taken off. Liu Zhenhan blushed sharply while hanging the clothes. He didn't feel anything when he fed her coconut juice just now, but while hanging clothes, he realized she had woken up. Was this appropriate?
As he wondered, he began to blush, feeling a heat on his face.
The smell of meat wafted from the clamshell pot. Liu Zhenhan turned around and saw Guoguo standing on the stone of the stove, craning her neck to look into the pot. Frightened, he rushed over and pulled her away by her big ears.
"You'll burn to death, you little beast!" Liu Zhenhan spluttered, but the creature just looked at him innocently.
After scolding for a while, Liu Zhenhan felt his arm throbbing with pain. Looking at his bandaged arm, he saw the cloth was stained red with blood.
"Bloody hell, why has there been nothing but bad luck since I came here!" Liu Zhenhan tightened the bound cloth, he couldn't help feeling wronged. He had been injured by a rabbit, it was too embarrassing.
Seeing the rabbit meat was almost done, Liu Zhenhan quickly moved the fire out of the way and moved the bedding where the fox spirit was lying to the place originally warmed by the fire. Liu Zhenhan thought this would certainly be warmer than just lying on the wolf-skin bedding.
The fox spirit could open her eyes now. Liu Zhenhan clumsily tucked her into the bedding, but he didn't dare to meet her eyes for some reason. His hands lost their sense of measure when his eyes averted, when he looked up, the two of them were both taken aback.
Liu Zhenhan's face turned red as a hot iron.
