The Little White Fox turned to look at the old woman.
It didn't want to?
No.
It didn't know who this human was at all.
Only after the Little White Fox looked away did the old woman slowly let out a breath.
For those few seconds, she had even forgotten to breathe.
"Grandma?"
The young man and young woman looked puzzled by the old woman's silence.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The old woman glanced at the Little White Fox again.
Its profile made its eyes look all the more distant.
It really did look like...
"You still haven't told me where you found the fox immortal."
The old woman remembered her original question.
"...Where..."
The young man and young woman exchanged a glance.
"On the mountain you mentioned, Grandma."
"It really wasn't easy."
The young man spoke with a hint of lingering fear, but his mouth was grinning.
"We went there so many times."
"We went up and down more times than we could count."
"We even asked the staff there."
"And some of the elderly people who often went hiking there."
"At last, hard work paid off."
The young woman's eyes curved into crescents. "We finally found it."
"It also took us a lot of effort to bring it back."
They'd stopped people, made all sorts of promises, and shamelessly tried every trick in the book...
When they thought about it, it really hadn't been easy.
"You've worked hard."
The old woman was both moved and a little sorry for her grandchildren. "Thank you."
"Oh, come on~"
The young man and young woman waved their hands in unison.
"Grandma, why are you thanking us?"
"As long as you're happy."
"I'm happy."
The old woman nodded.
A deep smile spread across her face.
