Chapter 2 of 'The Heavenly Change of Waking Love': The Found One

Five years had passed, and Qian Xiaohan's internal strength was considered very high in Xuanwu Country.\ One day, after finishing his cultivation, Qian Xiaohan was about to look for some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger when he suddenly noticed a white thing. Qian Xiaohan stepped forward to take a look—wow! Such a cute little snow fox! But... this snow fox seemed somewhat unusual. He decided to bring it home for Yin Lang to see; maybe it could even become a pet.\ Qian Xiaohan carefully held the snow fox in his arms and went to find Yin Lang...
"Huo'er, where's Xue'er?" Li Xia asked the fire fox while resting his chin on his hand.\ The fire fox almost jumped in panic: "Master, you dummy! Xue'er is missing, why aren't you looking for her?! And Xue'er, running around without knowing the way, really?! Such a bad sense of direction!"\ Really, like master, like pet—the master is silly, so is the pet.\ Li Xia blinked his big eyes and asked, "Where should we look?"\ The fire fox rolled its eyes. This master, probably forgot it has telepathy, right? The fire fox jumped off the table, ran out the door, and said while running, "Master, follow me quickly."\ Li Xia, displeased, pouted and ran after it.
"Yin Lang, come out quickly, I want to show you something. (Something… -_-|| Obviously it's a pet, okay?)" Qian Xiaohan shouted excitedly.\"What?" Yin Lang leisurely walked out of the cave. When he saw the snow fox, he was puzzled: "Xiaohan, where did this snow fox come from?"\"I found it on the road. Look, isn't it cute?" Qian Xiaohan said proudly, "But, I just don't know why, it feels a little off."\ Yin Lang, after hearing this, placed his hand on the snow fox's head. Soon after, he retracted his hand and asked in surprise, "You've been contracted?"\ The snow fox nodded and looked at him with pitiful eyes, silently shaking its head: "Are you hungry? Where's your master?" Yin Lang was speechless for a moment: "Honestly, you could get lost even in such a small area." Seeing Qian Xiaohan look utterly confused, Yin Lang awkwardly cleared his throat, while taking out wild fruits for the snow fox and explaining: "This snow fox was just using heart speech to communicate with me, so others couldn't hear it..." Qian Xiaohan nodded.
"Xue'er!" During his astonishment, two figures, one red and one pink, pounced toward Qian Xiaohan… Oh no, toward the snow fox in Qian Xiaohan's arms.\ Qian Xiaohan looked at the suddenly appearing person and fox, confused.In front of her, a woman dressed in pink was talking affectionately with the snow fox, her big eyes full of joy. Qian Xiaohan saw Li Xia and was stunned: "So cute!" The fire fox saw Qian Xiaohan staring fixedly at its master and couldn't help but snort: "Pervert!"\ The silver wolf, upon hearing the fire fox's words, smiled and pulled Qian Xiaohan along. Coming back to her senses, Qian Xiaohan awkwardly smiled: "Heh... hehe, its master is cute too!"\ "Cute? That's called silly," the fire fox teased.\ "Silly fire fox, being silly for a long time naturally becomes cute!" the snow fox retorted.\ \"Thank you for helping me find Xue'er. My name is Li Xia!" Li Xia finally saw the two people in front of her.\ "Li Xia?!" Qian Xiaohan asked curiously, "Li Xia, head of the Xianhua Palace?" "Yes, it's me!" Li Xia blinked, acknowledging the fact.\ \"Miss Li Xia, I've heard so much about you. I thought the head of Xianhua Palace would be ruthless, but to think you are actually so... adorable. Hehe, my name is Silver Wolf, and this is my friend Qian Xiaohan."\ \"Yes, Xue'er and Huo'er are my contracted divine beasts. But Xue'er is a poor navigator and often gets lost…" Before Li Xia could finish, Xue'er interrupted: "Master, don't embarrass me in front of strangers, especially when he's such a handsome guy…"\ "Flower girl!" The fire fox rolled her eyes at the snow fox. "Master, we should head back to the palace, or the four great guardians will make a fuss."\ "Oh, right! Silver Wolf, Xiaohan, I'll go first. If anything happens, you can come find me at Xianhua Palace! Bye bye."\ "Mm." Li Xia said, then left with the snow fox and fire fox.\ \"Palace Master, you ran out again?!\" \"Didn't I say you are not allowed to run out?\" \"Why did you leave without us?\" \"We also want to go…"\ The four great guardians, who stayed in the palace every day, were nearly going moldy from boredom.\ "Alright, alright, next time I'll take you with me."\ "Mm mm." The four great guardians quickly nodded, afraid she would change her mind.\ \ The four great guardians, Bing Shui, Yu Xue, had been with Li Xia since childhood, co-founding Xianhua Palace with her, and their skills were just a step behind Li Xia…
