The deep mountains, the ancient temple, the northern wind, and the laughter of a wolf fox. All of these were terrifying scenes.
Just as Cheng Hao was sitting cross-legged in his room, thinking about how to gather Fate, the delicate scholar in the room next door was in trouble.
The scholar was reading by candlelight in the middle of the night. Suddenly, the candlelight in the room dimmed. When the candlelight stabilized again, a beautiful woman had appeared under the light.
This was a slender and graceful young lady dressed in a pink dress. She was around eighteen or nineteen years old, and her beauty was indescribable. She had a beauty that made people gasp for breath.
The sudden appearance of a beautiful woman in such an ancient temple deep in the mountains in the middle of the night would probably cause anyone to turn pale with fright.
This young man was not ordinary. He only took a small step back and pinched his fingers, calming his mind.
"Are you a ghost or a demon?"
"Oh, how do you know if I'm a ghost or a demon?" The woman smiled and sized up the scholar in front of her. She seemed to be interested in him.
"It's cold in the deep mountains. Which normal girl would go out in the middle of the night wearing thin clothes like you?"
"Haha, you have a good reaction. That's right, I'm a ghost!" The woman nodded. Suddenly, her expression changed and her tone gradually turned cold. It was so eerie that she seemed to want to eat someone.
Boom!
Just then, the wall connected to the room next door suddenly exploded. Then, a golden fist flashed and left a series of violent friction sounds in the void. It instantly arrived in front of the woman in red.
"Eh?"
The woman in red looked surprised, but her reaction was not slow. The moment the golden light fist hit her, she moved ten feet away, barely dodging the attack of the terrifying fist shadow.
"What a terrifying power of Qi and blood. Are you a Martial Sage?" The woman in red steadied herself and dispersed the surging power of Qi and blood around her. She looked at the young man in white who was walking leisurely from the room next door with a face full of fear.
The person was Cheng Hao. After the woman in red retreated in shock with a Supersonic Punch, he walked leisurely from the room next door with his hands behind his back. He was very interested in the strength of the experts in this world.
"You're not a ghost, you're a demon!"
Cheng Hao did not answer the woman's question. Instead, he sized her up and said coldly. Human and demon were not judged by their physical body. With Cheng Hao's left eye's ability to see through illusions, he saw through the essence of her soul. Her soul was that of a white fox.
"Not only are you powerful at such a young age, but you also have sharp eyes. How should I address you?" At this moment, in the perception of the woman in red, Cheng Hao, whose Qi and blood power had spread out, was comparable to the blazing sun in this dark night. To a Ghost Immortal cultivator like her, he was simply an existence like a nemesis. If she had not been proficient in martial arts at the same time, she would have retreated long ago.
"Cheng Hao!"
"So it's of the Marquis's son.. . "The entire Jade Capital knew that the son of the Marquis's son was not proficient in martial arts. It turns out that they were all wrong. I didn't expect him to reach the Martial Sage Realm in his early twenties. He will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future."
The woman in red seemed to be someone with status in Jade Capital. After Cheng Hao reported his name, she revealed his background.
"Are you a demon or a fox demon? Fox demons are affectionate. I've heard many stories about scholars and beauties. I didn't intend to do anything, but just now you …"
"Just now, I was just joking with this little brother. This time, I actually came to this temple to hire him as a teacher to teach the children of my relatives. You see, I even brought the betrothal money."
As she spoke, the woman raised her hand and a piece of red metal appeared in her hand. "Ten taels of red gold a month. Are you willing?"
"This …" The delicate scholar looked at the red gold in the woman's hand and then turned to look at Cheng Hao, as though he wanted him to make a decision.
"Accept it. It will be the spring exam soon. This money can help you buy some necessities!" Seeing that the scholar was still hesitating, Cheng Hao smiled. "You don't have to worry about safety. Since I have nothing to do, I'll accompany you! I haven't seen the nest of a fox demon before. "
After giving a few simple instructions to the housekeeper, Fu, Cheng Hao grabbed the scholar's arm and rushed out of the temple in a few steps.
.....
The mountain wind blew against his face. The woman in red kept jumping in front of him. Every time she jumped, she would appear more than ten meters away. Looking from afar, she was like a ghost.
Cheng Hao carried the scholar with one hand and placed the other hand behind his back. He ran like a mortal, covering ten meters with each step. He followed closely behind the woman in red and rushed towards the relative's house.
"What's your name?" As they rushed forward, Cheng Hao still had the energy to ask.
"Young Marquis, my name is Hong Yi!"
"Hong Yi? Yi … that's a good name. The age difference between us isn't that big. You can call me Cheng Hao in the future. "
Hong Yi nodded and didn't have any reservations. He raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him. "Is she using the Shrinking Ground Divine Ability?"
"It's not Shrinking Ground Divine Ability. It should be a profound movement technique. This woman's background is extraordinary!" Cheng Hao shook his head. Currently, he only had a body of strength, but he lacked martial skills, movement techniques, and other cultivation methods. If he were to fight with a true expert, he would suffer a great loss because of this.
"This woman should be from the palace!" Looking at the back of the woman in red, Hong Yi whispered.
"Oh? How did you guess? "
"The betrothal money she gave me was pure gold. This kind of gold is not commonly used in the outside world. Only the palace has it. It is usually given by the Emperor and Empress to the civil and military officials, or to the concubines in the harem."
"If that's the case …" Cheng Hao nodded thoughtfully. "This woman seems mysterious, but she's actually lacking in meticulousness. She easily exposed her identity, which is quite interesting."
.....
"We're here!"
After running for two or three incense sticks' time in the forest, Cheng Hao put down Hong Yi, who couldn't open his eyes because of the strong wind. He casually looked at the valley in front of him.
There was a large bonfire burning in the middle of the valley. Beside the bonfire, there were dozens of snow-white foxes sitting around.
These foxes were half squatting and half sitting, as if they were humans. They were all holding books and making strange sounds, as if they were reading aloud. They were like children studying in a private school.
"These relatives of yours are quite eager to learn!" Looking at the interesting scene in front of him, Cheng Hao couldn't help but tease.
"Young Marquis, please don't laugh at them. They have already gained sentience, so they naturally need to learn more books. Otherwise, if they are uneducated, they will bring disaster to the world. I'm afraid they won't have a good ending in the future!" The woman in red looked at the junior in front of her with a gentle expression.
"Very good. A well-educated and well-mannered fox demon is far better than those humans who are full of thieves and prostitutes. Hong Yi, you have to teach them well in the future. This can be considered a good deed!"
