Chapter 626: You make me…

"Is this where your Snow Fox Clan lives?" Lin Fan gazed at the distant scenery.

It was truly beautiful. A continuous range of snow-capped mountains resembled a giant dragon lying prostrate, unlike the small lizards found here.

Li Se's homeland was in the forest at the foot of the mountains. Although they were the Snow Fox Clan, they didn't necessarily live in the icy snow.

"Yes, isn't it beautiful?" Li Se enjoyed sharing the beauty of her homeland. As if remembering something, her eyes dimmed slightly. "But for our Snow Fox Clan, we need to hide from human merchants who hunt us."

Lin Fan said, "It will pass."

He was actually quite good at comforting people. But given their current situation, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Yes, I also believe everything will pass." Li Se said firmly.

Soon, they arrived at where Li Se and her people lived. Many Snow Foxes were building houses. Most looked like ordinary farmers, with many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, as well as some Snow Fox children.

Their homes had been destroyed. There was no mood for play; everyone was helping the adults rebuild.

Suddenly, someone cried out, "Humans! There are humans here!"

Instantly, the Snow Foxes who heard the shout were terrified. Their faces paled, and they scattered in all directions.

Li Se shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! We're back!"

The fleeing Snow Foxes stopped their flight upon hearing her voice. They looked back and, seeing Li Se and the others had returned, breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they saw Lin Fan, their faces became wary. They watched him closely, as if trying to keep him in their sights, preventing him from doing anything harmful to the Snow Fox Clan.

"Don't worry, everyone! He is our savior. We were able to return because he saved us." Li Se knew her people didn't have a good impression of humans and were angry.

Hearing Li Se's words, the remaining Snow Foxes no longer directed their angry and wary gazes at Lin Fan. On second thought, there was good and bad. Not all humans were bad.

"Vile human! You killed my father!" At that moment, a young Snow Fox girl ran out, glaring angrily at Lin Fan. The ferocity in her eyes shouldn't belong to a child.

Li Se said, "He's not a bad person. He saved everyone."

"No, he is! My father was killed by humans!" the Snow Fox girl shouted.

Lin Fan walked up to the girl, squatted down, and stroked her head. "I'm sorry for what they did. I can feel your sadness. I will bring your father back."

Afterwards, he turned to Li Se. "Where are the bodies of the slain clansmen?"

Li Se didn't know. They had been captured and were unaware of what had happened in the village. She looked towards an elderly elder.

The old Snow Fox pointed towards the distance.

"Take me there," Lin Fan said. He was kind-hearted and fond of children. He could feel how pitiful it was for a child to be without parents, at least during childhood.

Soon, they arrived at the distant location. Many bodies lay there, Snow Foxes who had resisted the merchants and been killed. Because of the surrounding temperature, their bodies were well-preserved.

"Sigh!" Lin Fan couldn't bear to look. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen. Kidnapping was one thing, but why kill?

Lin Fan raised his hand, and the familiar golden light reappeared. In this world filled with elemental energy, he was happy to use this method to resurrect them.

"Resurrect!"

As soon as he spoke, a dark passage appeared. The Grim Reaper emerged, and even the eyes within the passage opened.

"Stop!" the Grim Reaper said slowly, his voice deep and gloomy.

Lin Fan looked at him. "What's the matter?"

Based on previous experiences, he would blast the Grim Reaper, and the passage would disappear on its own. But he hadn't expected the Grim Reaper to speak.

"Cease your actions. Resurrection is a desecration of the soul. They are dead and should go where they belong," the Grim Reaper said.

Lin Fan replied, "Yes, I understand what you mean, but I want to save them. After all, I have the ability."

The Grim Reaper said, "Order cannot be disrupted, otherwise it will cause turmoil and lead to the destruction of all living beings. You will be the sinner here."

Hearing the Grim Reaper's words, Lin Fan fell into deep thought, clearly pondering what he had said.

"Is it that serious?" If his actions would truly cause the deaths of more people, he could only apologize to the child and say he couldn't do it.

"Of course." The Grim Reaper floated in front of the passage. His face and expression were hidden, and no one knew that the Grim Reaper was actually helpless. This was his third appearance. The first two times he had been blasted to pieces. As the saying goes, "Third time's the charm," so this time, he definitely couldn't be blasted.

Lin Fan pondered, then a light flickered in his eyes.

"Will, please come out."

The not-so-bright Will appeared, giving off a dazed and confused impression.

The moment Will appeared, the Grim Reaper and the lychee-like eyes in the passage trembled slightly, as if they hadn't expected Will to appear here.

"Will, he said resurrecting the dead will bring disaster to this world. Is it true?" Lin Fan asked.

He knew Will was the most powerful being here. Asking him would definitely yield the correct answer.

Will didn't answer immediately but remained silent for a moment.

"False," Will said calmly.

Lin Fan looked at the Grim Reaper, wanting to ask him if he had heard. Will had said it was false. But at that moment, he realized the Grim Reaper and the eyes had vanished without a trace.

"Strange. I haven't even properly questioned you, and you've already disappeared." He had wanted them to have a proper debate with Will about who was right. But unexpectedly, they had left just like that. It was rather unfortunate.

For Lin Fan, these were trivial matters. Their presence or absence made no difference. He would continue with the resurrection.

However, for the Snow Foxes, the scene they had just witnessed was truly astonishing. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it. What was that thing? It felt terrifying, as if the abyss had descended, and death enveloped them.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.

"Ah…"

They followed the sound and saw their deceased clansmen rising eerily.

Everyone covered their mouths, their eyes wide, as if witnessing the most unforgettable scene.

At this time, the resurrected Snow Foxes looked down at their bodies, some spreading their hands, staring in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't I already dead?"

They were all questioning their own reality.

Lin Fan looked at the little girl from earlier and smiled. "Aren't you going over?"

"Huh?"

"What 'huh'? Hurry up and go."

Seeing the little girl's dumbfounded look, he couldn't help but laugh.

Li Se asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Lin Fan said, "Your people died protecting their home. Although they were killed, they deserve respect. And that child lost her father. I felt pity for her, so it's better to make things right."

"I wanted to ask, how did you do it?" Li Se said.

Lin Fan smiled. "With love in your heart, you can do anything."

This was a rather profound statement, difficult for ordinary people to understand. Even Li Se was a little confused.

Night fell!

The Snow Fox Clan, after the earlier events, had become lifeless. The loss of their loved ones had made them lose hope for the future.

Now, the Snow Fox Clan was revitalized.

Lin Fan was now treated as the most honored guest by the Snow Foxes. All sorts of Snow Fox specialties were brought out. Everyone looked at Lin Fan with adoration, especially the Snow Fox children, as if looking at a hero. They stared intently, unwilling to look away.

Beside the bonfire, Lin Fan raised his wooden wine cup with a smile.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Thank you so much. I misunderstood you earlier today."

"Now is a time for celebration. You mentioning that… our benefactor won't take it to heart."

At this moment, the Snow Foxes were truly happy. They cheered heartily.

Lin Fan found the wine tasted excellent, and his craving for alcohol was stirred. He thought that since he had nothing to do, and he really liked the environment of the Snow Foxes, he didn't think too much about it and drank with his new friends, enjoying the unique Snow Fox cuisine.

Li Se gazed adoringly at Lin Fan. Any woman seeing Li Se's expression would affirm, "That's the look of someone in love." The Snow Fox girls beside her giggled.

"Do you like him?" one girl whispered in Li Se's ear.

Li Se blushed and said, "No, I don't." Her reaction was like someone whose little secret had been discovered. Her furry ears twitched slightly.

"Li Se, you're the most beautiful in our Snow Fox Clan. Although I don't know what will happen if you're with a human, if I were you, I would go for it."

Li Se nodded, feeling that it made sense.

The festivities ended late. The Snow Foxes gave Lin Fan the best room.

Lin Fan lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, a smile on his lips. It had truly been a happy day. The earlier events had indeed been unpleasant, but everything had been resolved perfectly. To him, the Snow Foxes were very hospitable.

Knock, knock!

A soft knock came at the door.

Lin Fan opened the door and saw Li Se standing outside, her face flushed. He said in surprise, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Come in."

He turned and walked back into the room.

Li Se entered and nervously closed the door.

Rustle!

The sound of clothes being removed.

Lin Fan turned around, his eyes widening at the sight before him, as if he hadn't reacted for a moment. He stared blankly.

Li Se blushed under Lin Fan's gaze. Feeling shy, she remembered her friends' advice to be proactive. But she didn't know how to be proactive. She thought this was the best way, the most direct, the most straightforward, the most expressive way to convey her love.

"I like you very much and want to have children with you," Li Se said with her eyes closed, uttering these shy words. This was how they expressed love in the Snow Fox Clan. Hers was just a bit more… intense.
