The warm morning sunlight shines on the roof and courtyard of the Ancient Shrine, casting a golden glow over this quiet place. This tranquility is disrupted by the return of the mysterious traveler, Tsukikage. His figure moves like a deep shadow, silently weaving through the corners of the shrine, bringing an air of mystery to the peaceful land.
Little Sakura is busy with the daily maintenance of the shrine, her smile warm and radiant like the flowers of spring. When she notices Tsukikage's presence, surprise flashes in her eyes, quickly transforming into a friendly welcome.
"Mr. Tsukikage, have you come to visit the shrine again?" Little Sakura asked cheerfully, her eyes filled with curiosity and welcome.
Tsukikage's lips curled into a smile, his eyes deep and seemingly always hiding unknown secrets. "Yes, I am very curious about everything here. Today, I would like to have a deeper conversation with you," he said in a low and calm voice, exuding an indescribable charm.
Little Sakura nodded in agreement and led Tsukikage to a "Tranquil courtyard" far from the main hall. It was surrounded by lush green trees and colorful flowers, with the air filled with the fragrance of flowers and freshness, as if it were a secret garden isolated from the outside world.
As they sat down, Little Sakura had a warm smile on her face and curiously asked, "Mr. Tsukikage, you must have witnessed many wonderful things during your travels. Could you share some stories with me?"
Yueying nodded and began to recount his experiences in a distant place, stories about supernatural phenomena and unsolved mysteries. His words were filled with the passion of exploration, and each story seemed to open a mysterious door.
Little Sakura listened intently, her eyes shining with curiosity, occasionally expressing amazement and asking questions. Her natural qualities became more apparent in such conversations, revealing her boundless curiosity and love for the world.
The look in Tsukikage's eyes suddenly became profound as he gazed at Little Sakura: "I feel there is an unusual presence here. Have you sensed anything special?"
Little Sakura gently shook her head, her eyes revealing confusion: "I am just an ordinary shrine maiden and haven't noticed anything special."
Moonlight smiled slightly, and his gaze suddenly became sharp: "Sakura, it seems like there is always some mysterious power guarding you. Do you know what it is?"
Sakura hesitated, unsure if she should reveal the secret between herself and Night Fox to Moonlight. Her eyes were filled with inner conflict.
At this moment, the figure of Night Fox quietly appeared in the distant shadows of the trees, his eyes flashing with vigilance. He had already sensed the arrival of Moon Shadow and realized that Moon Shadow's interest in Little Sakura might conceal some unknown purpose.
Night Fox silently observed the conversation between Moon Shadow and Little Sakura, his heart filled with unease. He knew well the mystery and danger of Moon Shadow, and he worried that Little Sakura might fall into Moon Shadow's conspiracy.
The moonlight seemed to sense the presence of Night Fox, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He deliberately raised his voice: "Sakura, this world is full of mysteries, and some things may be beyond your imagination. But I believe that the mysterious guardian by your side will guide you to the truth."
Sakura was shocked, realizing that the moonlight might already know the secret of Night Fox. Panic flickered in her eyes, unsure of how to respond.
In the words of Moon Shadow, there is a hidden meaning, as if he is hinting at his interest in Night Fox. His intentions and schemes are deeply concealed, making it difficult to fathom.
Night Fox tightly grips the long sword in his hand, his heart determined that if Moon Shadow dares to threaten Little Sakura, he will protect her at all costs. Night Fox's eyes are filled with determination and vigilance.
After this conversation, Tsukikage left the shrine, but his words left a deep impression on Sakura's heart. She was filled with doubt and unease, feeling confused about Tsukikage's true intentions.
Night Fox approached Sakura with a worried look in his eyes: "Sakura, you need to be careful of Tsukikage. His intentions are not pure, and we must be vigilant."
Sakura nodded, her face showing determination: "I know, Night Fox. I will be careful. Thank you for always protecting me."
After Moon Shadow left, Night Fox remained vigilant. In order to protect Sakura, he decided to stay by her side at all times. Sakura felt both sweet and troubled by this, understanding Night Fox's intentions but also wishing for some personal space.
One lazy afternoon, Sakura decided to enjoy a good soak in the bath. She gently adjusted the water temperature to just right and slowly immersed herself in the tub, a satisfied and relaxed smile on her face. The bathroom was filled with soothing steam and a faint floral scent, everything seemed so peaceful and pleasant.
Suddenly, a little sparrow flew in from somewhere, flapping its wings and chirping in the bathroom. The sudden appearance of the sparrow startled Sakura, and she involuntarily let out a cry at the unexpected noise.
Night Fox happened to be near the bathroom when he heard a scream from Sakura, causing his heart to tighten instantly. His first reaction was that Sakura might be in danger. As a fox demon, he moved swiftly and within seconds, he burst into the bathroom.
The moment Night Fox barged into the bathroom, he saw Sakura soaking in the bathtub, hands covering her face, showing a shocked and embarrassed expression. Night Fox instantly realized that he had intruded into a private space, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face as well.
Sakura's face immediately turned deep red, and she quickly covered her body with her hands, lowering her head shyly. "Night Fox, how did you get in!" Her voice carried a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Night Fox immediately realized his blunder, and his face showed a hint of embarrassment. He quickly turned away, avoiding eye contact. "I'm sorry, Sakura, I thought you were in danger." His voice sounded somewhat awkward.
Sakura gradually felt her shyness fade away as she listened to Night Fox's explanation, replaced by a touch of emotion. She knew that Night Fox's concern was out of care, but at the same time she felt that such attention was a bit excessive. Her voice came from behind the bathtub, sounding embarrassed: "It's okay, Night Fox, it's just a little sparrow that flew in."
"Night Fox, I know you're trying to protect me, but you also need to give me some personal space," Sakura said softly, her eyes carrying a gentle reproach.
Night Fox heard Sakura's words and felt a tightness in his heart, realizing that his protection may have been a bit excessive. "I understand, Sakura. I will give you enough space, but please also be mindful of your safety," Night Fox said sincerely.
Sakura nodded, feeling grateful to Night Fox. "Thank you, Night Fox. I will be careful."
Night Fox nodded, his expression still calm, but his slightly tense posture revealed his embarrassment. He quickly left the bathroom, filled with worry and self-blame, concerned that his impulsive behavior might make Little Sakura uncomfortable.
Sitting in the foamy bathtub, Little Sakura's cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, and her heart seemed to beat faster at that moment than usual. Night Fox's sudden appearance and immediate departure made her feel a wave of shyness and embarrassment, and her fingers unconsciously skimmed the water, creating ripples.
"How could this happen..." Sakura murmured softly to herself, her voice tinged with embarrassment and uncertainty. "Night Fox must feel really awkward too..."
She recalled Night Fox's hurried departure and couldn't help but feel a sweet sensation in her heart. Night Fox truly cared about her, and this concern warmed her heart, even in such an awkward situation.
Little Sakura She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She closed her eyes, allowing her heart to gradually settle. The foam on the water gently caressed her skin, bringing comfort and relaxation.
After a while, she stood up gently, walked out of the bathtub, and wrapped herself in a large towel. Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at the blush on her face and couldn't help but smile gently.
"Night Fox... He really cares about me." There was a gentle glow in Sakura's heart, and she cherished and appreciated Night Fox's concern deeply.
On this quiet afternoon, Sakura's mood gradually calmed down. She still wore an innocent smile on her face, but the sparkle in her eyes was gentler and sweeter than before. In this tranquil shrine, Sakura's thoughts drifted into the distance, towards the fox spirit that made her heart flutter.
After this little episode, Night Fox began to guard Little Sakura even more cautiously, while also respecting her personal space. As a result, their relationship became even stronger.
However, the shadow of Yueling still loomed over the shrine. His plans and purposes remained a mystery. Little Sakura and Night Fox had to remain vigilant at all times to face any potential dangers that might arise.
