Ning Xuan asked the question, though she didn't expect the Little Fox to answer. After all, when she was verifying her identity at the entrance to the safe zone, she had told the Little Fox—who had started following her along the way—to go back. It was to avoid trouble and not attract attention.

Ning Xuan had her suspicions about the Little Fox's origins. However, when it first came to her, it had been heavily injured. As she nursed it back to health day by day, the Little Fox grew very affectionate toward her. It was a closeness born of complete trust and wholehearted reliance.
