Chapter 177 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 27
When Yan Shuo returned, he found you had been thrown into the river. He searched for you at the bottom of the river many times, but still couldn't find you. So he firmly believed that you were alive.
I live each day in regret and pain, searching for you by day, drinking heavily by night, and meeting you in my dreams.
After hearing what Zhuzhu said, Mu Wanwan felt a flush on her cheeks. She reached up and touched them; they were tears!
Yes, she cried!
Although she didn't know if he truly cared for her or loved her at that moment, she still felt heartache seeing him like this.
"Master, if Yan Shuo finds his way here, will you go back with him?"
Mu Wanwan sighed, "Will I be thrown into the river and drowned in a pig cage again when we get back?"
The pig felt a chill run down its spine just thinking about it. The Demon Realm was a dangerous place, and to ensure its master's safety, it wholeheartedly agreed not to turn back.
"Piggy, let's investigate Bai Shaoqing's background."
Bai Shaoqing, who seems harmless, must have an extraordinary identity to possess such a rare jade pendant.
"Master, Bai Shaoqing is a Celestial Venerable from the Celestial Realm!"
"A Celestial Venerable? A God?"
Piggy touched his chin. "That's one way to understand it."
It seems my luck isn't bad; I even managed to meet a Celestial Venerable from the Immortal Realm, who is also my savior.
"However, Master, I must remind you that during the great war between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, both sides suffered heavy losses, and Bai Shaoqing and Yan Shuo are now sworn enemies."
Seeing that Mu Wanwan did not respond, and that she was already asleep, it was unclear whether she had heard what it had just said.
Rivals in love are bound to be extremely hostile when they meet. If the word "enemy" were added, it wouldn't dare to imagine whether the Immortal Venerable and the Demon Venerable would fight if they met.
Yan Shuo, no longer as dejected as before, returned to the Demon Realm happily, a complete change from his usual self.
Although he did not find Mu Wanwan's soul this time, he was able to confirm that the little fox was still alive.
As long as he's alive, he'll find a way to find her.
The next day, he summoned Li Yuan and told him that he must manage the Demon Realm well while he was away.
Before leaving, he went to see Bai Jingjing.
"Yan Shuo, it's been a long time since you last came to see me."
Bai Jingjing sensed that Yan Shuo was in low spirits. The two stood facing each other, and she tried to move closer to him. Even though she was just a wisp of a soul, he still subtly took two steps back to keep his distance from her.
"Jingjing, I have to go on a long trip, and the return date is uncertain."
"So? You've come to say goodbye?"
Yan Shuo's eyes showed little emotion, as if it were a routine matter. "I suppose so!"
"Yan Shuo, have you fallen in love with that fox?"
Has she fallen in love?
Ha! He himself doesn't know!
She was nothing more than an accessory he brought in to revive Bai Jingjing.
But ever since the two of them started dating, everything that happened has gone off track.
Upon learning that she was not dead, he worried about how a little fox with such low cultivation would protect herself.
They worried that although she was rescued, the person who rescued her was not a kind person.
She is simple and kind, easily trusting people and readily giving her heart away.
What if they're being sold out and they're still laughing and helping the seller count the money?
She possesses a beauty that is fatally attractive to men. What if she is defiled by a bad person?
He couldn't understand his own worries about her, whether his possessiveness meant he loved her!
But he knew she belonged to him alone and couldn't bear anyone else coveting his woman.
Seeing her silence, Bai Jingjing threw her head back and burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face.
"Yan Shuo, have you forgotten the promise you made to me?!"
"I haven't forgotten! Don't worry, even without using the demon essence, I will find other ways to revive you."
Bai Jingjing realized at this moment that her path to resurrection might not be as smooth as she had imagined.
The idea that she would stay with him until old age after her resurrection was nothing but wishful thinking on her part.
He had promised last time that he would take her demon essence when the time was right.
In just a few days, his attitude changed completely.
From obtaining the demon's essence to using other methods to revive her, he hadn't yet realized the fox's importance to him.
This must be because they're reluctant to part with it!
"Yan Shuo, you've changed!"
Yan Shuo looked ashamed; he would repay Bai Jingjing's life-saving grace no matter what.
"She's gone missing. I'm going to find her!"
Bai Jingjing cried through a mixture of laughter and tears, her heart filled with sorrow, "What if we find it?"
Without any hesitation, he blurted out, "I don't know, finding the person is the most important thing."
She understood everything; he had fallen in love with her!
"What you want to do is your own business; you don't need to report to me."
"Take care of yourself!"
Yan Shuo turned around and disappeared without hesitation.
Bai Jingjing was left kneeling on the ground, covering her face and weeping.
Her urgent desire to be resurrected was ultimately driven by the desire to be with him.
What if he falls in love with a fox?
I risked my life to ensure his safety, and I will not allow anyone to take it away from me.
Yan Shuo, all alone, carried Mu Wanwan's portrait and went from town to town asking people about her.
Those who were asked only marveled at Mu Wanwan's beauty, but none of them had actually seen her.
He had gained nothing for several days in a row and was getting a little impatient.
When a woman whose back view looked very much like Mu Wanwan passed by, her white ears on her head were particularly eye-catching.
He excitedly ran forward and hugged the woman from behind, exclaiming, "Wanwan, I've finally found you!"
The woman being hugged screamed and struggled to break free, hitting Yan Shuo's head with her hand.
"Catch the pervert!"
The woman's screams attracted a large crowd, but no one dared to approach Yan Shuo.
At this moment, Bai Shaoqing pushed through the crowd and knocked Yan Shuo, who was holding the woman, away with a single palm strike.
The woman was freed and ran away quickly, ignoring Bai Shaoqing who had come to meddle.
He reached out and pulled the woman over. The woman turned her head in fright to face Yan Shuo.
Although the woman had ears similar to Mu Wanwan's, her face had the features of a fox.
Yan Shuo immediately let go and released the person.
At that moment, a teasing voice came from behind.
"Oh my, the dignified Demon Lord of the Demon Realm actually abducting a woman in broad daylight on the street! This is truly an extraordinary event!"
You're not so picky anymore?
Tsk tsk tsk, I think you're really hungry!
The onlookers whispered among themselves. Although they knew of the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, they had never seen him in person.
Some people were even glad they hadn't intervened to help those in need.
If the Demon Lord were to make a move, they would surely be instantly reduced to a pool of blood.
"Isn't this the Immortal Venerable in human skin from the Immortal Realm? Stop parroting what others say. I'm just looking for an old friend."
The onlookers were utterly astonished; to encounter both immortals and demons at the same time was a once-in-a-millennium event!
The ordinary people, who love watching a good show and believe in never missing out on any juicy gossip, stepped back to make room for the two of them, while they continued to enjoy the spectacle from a short distance away.
"Oh? I heard that the Demon Lord only has one woman by his side, and she's your right-hand woman. 'A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow,' so you've ruined other women?"
