Chapter 368 Fox Demon 17
Chapter 368 Fox Demon 17
Avoiding worldly affairs? Not getting involved in the chaos between humans and demons is not that easy.
Although it is protected by the Soul Pearl, what if the Soul Pearl is damaged or stolen by someone else?
If the emperor in the plot had not had the intention of coming to Linghu Mountain, Linghu Mountain might have been able to find peace for a while.
But what about the future?
When the chaos comes, will monsters of other species really not attack the weak fox monsters?
If you want to live in seclusion and not be involved in worldly affairs, you must have the strength that others dare not easily touch.
The group of fox demons in Linghu Mountain can hardly defeat the elders of other demon tribes, let alone the demons that Lingruo has brought here.
So in the following days, Lingruo will send monsters to watch over them and train them well.
At least not as weak as it is now.
Under the moonlight, Ling Ruo stretched out her hand, and the soul bead in her palm emitted a faint white light.
This was what she took out from the box on the ground floor of the Soul Tower during the day.
The box had been replaced with a fake soul bead.
This fake one looks very similar to the real one, but it no longer has the ability to protect and restrain the fox demon.
Instead, a brand new effect appears.
The user's intestines will gradually rot and the pain will last for forty-nine days before death.
Ling Ruo placed the other one on top of the spirit bead. The white light peaked for a moment, then dimmed.
The soul bead rose from his palm and floated up into the sky with wisps of white smoke.
The full moon on Linghu Mountain was still as bright as ever, and no one knew that it was a different moon.
The bright moonlight illuminates this place, protecting every fox demon here.
The Lingpo Pearl is both a protection and a restraint for Linghu Mountain.
It protects Linghu Mountain year after year, but whoever obtains it will also suppress the fox demon.
Anyone who obtains the Soul Pearl can easily control the fox demon in this mountain.
How could Ling Ruo allow such a dangerous thing to threaten the foxes in Linghu Mountain?
But the mission requires her to protect the treasure.
Therefore, Ling Ruo used some tricks to remove the suppression of the Lingpo Pearl, and let it replace the moon of Linghu Mountain and become the moon in the sky.
No one would have thought that the distant moon could actually be transformed from a spirit bead.
Who can pick the moon with bare hands?
At least now, except her, no other demon in the demon world can pick the moon.
If nothing unexpected happens, this "moon" will protect the monsters of Lingpo Mountain forever and ever.
This is also a guarantee that Lingruo gives to the monsters in Linghu Mountain. If they really keep playing badly and can't improve their strength...
Then this moon can also protect them.
Linghu Mountain will also be their warmest harbor and a safe house that protects them.
The next day, Ling Jiaojiao got up early.
"Uncle Blue Fox, is my husband okay?"
"Okay, it's nothing serious. I'm still loved by everyone, and I have superb skills and can bring people back to health..."
Ling Jiaojiao ignored it and walked straight to the bed, looking at the scholar on the bed.
Wang Shusheng had actually woken up early, but was pretending to be asleep, unable to suppress the fear in his heart.
He saw this pink and showy male fox last night and couldn't help feeling pain all over his body. Thinking that he was now in the monster's lair, he was so scared that he wanted to run away.
"Why aren't you awake yet, Uncle Blue Fox? Is your medical skills not working?"
Lan Hu hated it most when people said that his medical skills were not good, so in order to prove it to Ling Jiaojiao, he took a huge wooden stick.
"That's weird. Let me take his legs apart and put them back together to try."
Wang Shusheng didn't care about pretending to be asleep at this moment, and pretended to wake up slowly.
"Miss Jiaojiao, thank you for saving me."
"Oh! My husband is awake, that's great." Ling Jiaojiao lifted the quilt and pulled the scholar up.
Seeing her treating the patient like this, Blue Fox quickly said, "Jiaojiao, be gentler. This scholar has only been here for a short time. He is a human, not a fox demon like us. You can't use so much force."
"Ah? But I was right with him before, and he's fine now, isn't he? It turns out that humans are so fragile." Ling Jiaojiao pointed at her finger.
Lan Hu was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He seemed to know how the scholar got the wound.
Ling Jiaojiao quickly turned around and said to the scholar, "I'm sorry, husband. I didn't know you were so fragile. I won't be so forceful next time."
"It's okay." Wang Shusheng was so moved that he almost cried. This little girl finally realized that she couldn't treat him like this when he was so fragile.
Now that my injuries are mostly healed, I feel more relaxed.
Wang Shusheng glanced around intentionally or unintentionally. The bed he slept on was made of top-grade pear wood, and the bedding was made of a silk quilt made of unknown material. He was richer than the richest landlord in the world.
With a turn of his eyes, he thought, perhaps he could take the treasures of Linghu Mountain to please the emperor and seek an official position?
"Jiaojiao, how do we get out of Linghu Mountain?"
"It's easy, just go out the door, stupid."
The scholar's eyes rolled. He didn't expect it to be so simple.
"Is there no demon guarding it? Aren't you afraid of outsiders invading?"
"No, there is a spirit bead guarding the Spirit Fox Mountain. Outsiders cannot enter unless they get permission from the fox demon inside."
"Spirit bead? What is this thing?" The scholar looked at Ling Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground with her legs crossed and looking ungraceful, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"The treasure of Linghu Mountain, the treasure that protects and restrains Linghu Mountain."
Ling Jiaojiao answered without thinking.
Wang Shusheng felt greedy. A treasure? It sounded very precious.
If we bring this treasure back and present it to the emperor, then wealth, honor, and promotion to an official position will be easily achieved.
"Jiaojiao, what are you talking about?" Blue Fox brought in a bowl of medicine from outside.
"I'm telling my husband about the treasure of our Linghu Mountain!"
Hearing this, Blue Fox glanced at Wang Shusheng with inquiring eyes.
Wang Shusheng's heart suddenly tightened, like a prey being targeted by a hunter, and he quickly explained: "Linghu Mountain is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Wang is just curious, nothing else."
Blue Fox just nodded, turned to look at Ling Jiaojiao, and shook his head helplessly.
A heartless little fox.
?
Ling Ruo sat on the top of the mountain, looking up at the sky, not knowing when Shi Li would come back.
"Ruo'er."
A clear female voice brought her back to reality.
"Aunt Bai."
"Ruo'er, Jiaojiao brought back a human scholar. Do you know about this?"
After much thought, Bai Hu decided to talk to Ling Ruo about this matter.
Ling Ruo nodded, "Aunt, are you afraid that Jiao Jiao will follow in my mother's footsteps?"
Unable to obtain the love she wanted, she died from the backlash of her fox charm.
The room was silent.
Bai Hu's eyes traced Ling Ruo's eyebrows and eyes, which were very similar to her mother's. Her eyes were full of life, as if to make the heaven and earth pale in comparison.
She thought back to that day when she was holding Lingqi's cold body, and the sky and the earth were dark.
Why didn't Lingqi listen to her and kill that damn man.
