Bai Yi was unhappy when she thought of that woman. She muttered, [Who knows what that ugly woman is called! I only know that her surname is Jiang. She has a maid and wears shabby clothes.]
[Shabby clothes can bring a maid?] Li Yufeng was a little confused, but the surname "Jiang" reminded him of the prefectural magistrate. There were only so many girls who could bring a maid out, and one with the surname Jiang. It was possible that she would cause trouble. He said to Chu Xiang, [I'll go and ask around. Keep a low profile. This is the prefectural city, not a remote village. Don't show any abnormalities.]
Bai Yi dodged Zhuang Liushi's hand and asked Chu Xiang, [Is this person reliable? Why is he so concerned? You've only known each other for a while, right?]
[Maybe it's fate? Don't care about him. If he wants to ask around, let him ask around. He lives in the prefectural city, so he should know more than us. There's no harm in knowing more.] Chu Xiang found Zhuang Liushi annoying, so she jumped onto her shoulder and jumped onto the roof.
Zhuang Liushi was shocked! She was already panting because she couldn't catch them. Now that she was scared by Chu Xiang, she suddenly remembered that these two were wild foxes. They had already torn the girl's skirt, so they shouldn't scratch her anymore.
She looked at Chu Xiang and Bai Yi, then snorted heavily and left the cage.
Bai Yi said angrily, [What's wrong with her?! So annoying! If she wasn't our benefactor's mother, I would have dealt with her long ago!]
[If she wasn't your benefactor's mother, you wouldn't have had a chance to interact with her.] Chu Xiang had never cared about the mother and son of the Zhuang family. Seeing that Bai Yi was unhappy, she changed the topic. [How are you going to eat those two silver fishes? After recovering, we still have to find those demons for revenge! I don't know where they came from. When Li Yufeng comes, we can ask him. By the way, Li Yufeng's house is much better than here. I'm going to take a look. If it's convenient for cultivation, we don't have to live here. If you see Zhuang Yulang in trouble, just help him. Why are you angry here?]
Bai Yi looked at Zhuang Yulang, who was writing inside, and said dejectedly, [But I can't bear to leave our benefactor.]
In any case, she was a demon, and a demon with high magic power. How could she be willing to be bullied? She was only downcast for a moment before she said, "Xiang 'er, let's heal our injuries tonight. Let's find those demon Daoists and take our revenge first. It just so happens that our benefactor wants to study, so we won't disturb him here. What do you think?]
[Sure, I'm too lazy to move after raising so many of them. Let's go and have a good fight!] Chu Xiang loved this. After becoming a demon, how could she not fight? No matter what, they had to fight for opportunities and territories with others.
While the two of them were talking, Li Yufeng came back and said seriously, [The two of you really have to be careful. The girl who was teased by the white fox is the eldest daughter of the prefectural magistrate. Fortunately, she's just an unfavored concubine's daughter. If his precious daughter made a fool of herself in public, this matter will definitely be investigated to the end.]
Bai Yi frowned and said: [What is a legitimate daughter? So what if he was a magistrate? What can he do to me?]
Li Yufeng jumped into the courtyard from the top of the wall and squatted in a corner. He looked at Chu Xiang with a gaze that was clearly asking her why this white fox was so real.
Chu Xiang turned her head. She had not seen anything in the mountains. Wasn't she like a child?
Li Yufeng changed to a more acceptable way for Bai Yi. [You know magic, and he's an ordinary person. Of course, he can't do anything to you. But don't you have a benefactor? That Miss Jiang knows that you're a fox raised by Scholar Zhuang. He won't settle accounts with the fox, but he can settle accounts with the fox's owner! He's just a prefectural magistrate, so it's easy for him to make things difficult for a scholar. Don't think about teaching the prefectural magistrate a lesson or threatening him. The prefectural magistrate is able to hold his position, and his superiors have mercy on him. Can you still teach him a lesson? Just for a small matter?]
Bai Yi had never thought that human society would be so complicated. They, demons, had always believed that there was a perpetrator for every grievance and a debtor for every debt. How could there be such a messy relationship?
She suddenly had a feeling of being restrained. Wouldn't she have no cultivation and no one could teach her a lesson? Then what advantages did she have?
Li Yufeng said, [I suggest that you repay his kindness in secret. Don't be so close to Scholar Zhuang. That way, even if something happens to you, Scholar Zhuang won't be implicated. He's just an ordinary person, and he's going to be the top scholar and become an official. What if people find out that he raised two demons? What will happen to him?]
Although Bai Yi had never left the mountains before, she had heard that people who were related to demons were ostracized and feared by others. Some were even burned to death. People didn't accept demons at all, not at all.
She asked Li Yufeng, [Then what's wrong with you? You're a demon hunter. If people find out that you're so friendly to us, you'll be the one in trouble, right?]
Li Yufeng smiled at Chu Xiang. [Did you hear that? Even the white fox I just met knows that I'm friendly to you. Why do you look so cold?]
Bai Yi jumped in front of Chu Xiang and blocked his line of sight. [What are you doing? You have to clean up after seducing Xiang 'er, right? Look at you!]
Li Yufeng subconsciously looked down. He was really … sloppy!
When he realized what he was doing, he looked up speechlessly. [What are you thinking? Why am I seducing a fox? Hey, are you fox spirits especially sensitive to this kind of thing?]
Bai Yi was mainly thinking about what he said before, about serving Chu Xiang for a night, and unknowingly, she was a little perverted. Moreover, foxes were very sensitive in this aspect. They even had a special charm technique.
Bai Yi realized that she had said something wrong and obediently lay down beside Chu Xiang to look at her. Chu Xiang: [I think we can go take a look, but let's do it tomorrow. There's no rush. Li Yufeng, you go back first. Don't let anyone find out that you're here. We have our own things to do.]
[Isn't your thing to eat that silver fish? Okay, okay, I'm leaving. If you want to find me, go to the courtyard with the red roof in the west of the city.] Li Yufeng was still very discerning. He knew that his identity as a demon hunter was on the opposite side of the two demons. It was normal for them to be wary of him, so he simply left. Moreover, he really had to go back and wash up. Even he despised himself for looking like this.
Bai Yi's attention was completely attracted by the matter of revenge. She quietly said to Chu Xiang: [How do we find them? Should we give them a taste of their own medicine and set a trap to teach them a lesson? No, not a lesson. They clearly want to kill us. They even want to skin us, pull out our tendons, and dig out our internal elixirs to refine medicine. Too hateful! I'm going to cut them into pieces!]
Chu Xiang agreed with her "viciousness". [Let's go to the snow mountain to find their whereabouts first. If they don't, we'll secretly inquire about them. There are a total of six of them. They will always leave traces in the world. Maybe Li Yufeng will know something. I think he's quite well-informed.]
Bai Yi nodded in agreement. [En, too capable. Chatterbox.]
The two of them talked while lying on the ground. In the eyes of others, they were two foxes lying there obediently basking in the sun. One was red and one was white. They were very beautiful.
Zhuang Liushi finished cooking and came out of the kitchen. When she saw the two beautiful foxes, she unconsciously held her breath. She had a feeling that she was afraid of disturbing them. She uncomfortably looked away. She couldn't help but look again. She quietly pressed her chest.
These beautiful foxes that could only be raised by noble people were now casually raised in her house like dogs. They were also picked up for free and didn't eat much. This was too inconceivable. And to be honest, these two foxes were quite obedient. They recognized people and families. She didn't need to worry about anything. Even if a noble person asked someone to specially train them, they might not be so obedient.
Zhuang Liushi's heart couldn't help but fluctuate. She quickly thought of the hairpin she picked up and the gold Zhuang Yulang picked up. In addition, she picked up these two sensible foxes. Wasn't this a blessing? It must be her family's Yulang's great fortune to be able to encounter such good things again and again!
Zhuang Liushi thought of a good thing in her heart, and her face was full of joy. Bai Yi inadvertently glanced at the expression on her face and turned away in disgust. [Are all humans so strange? They're not easy to get along with at all.]
Chu Xiang laughed and said: [How many people have you seen? Why don't you go out and see more? Why do you have to stay here? You don't have to stay with your benefactor to repay his kindness.]
[But if we don't stay together, how can I find out his difficulties at any time and take good care of him?]
[Don't you know how to give him an amulet? Don't you know how to tell his fortune? As long as you think carefully, you can find a lot of ways, right?]
Bai Yi was stunned. [Amulet? Good or bad fortune? Yes, why didn't I think of it?]
[Your mind is filled with the love and hatred of the predecessors. You don't think that's the only way the fox demon and human get along, do you? These are just their tragic stories. There are many other ordinary things. If you don't want to be like those predecessors, it's best not to learn from them.]
Chu Xiang slowly figured out what Bai Yi was thinking. She wasn't completely lovey-dovey. She just didn't understand. How can you understand things that you haven't seen before? You always have to spend some time to understand and explore, and even suffer some losses to understand. Humans are like this, and demons are also like this. There have always been many men and women in the world, but when it comes to humans and demons, the story will always become particularly miserable.
Bai Yi thoughtfully looked at Zhuang Yulang through the window, thinking carefully about Chu Xiang's words. In fact, she didn't have the ability, so there was no need for her to be by her benefactor's side all the time. She didn't feel that it was hard. After all, she had cultivation. But just like Li Yufeng, she was a demon after all. If she was exposed or offended someone, wouldn't she implicate her benefactor? She shouldn't stay by her benefactor's side.
Bai Yi was like a blank piece of paper. There was nothing drawn on it. What the blank piece of paper became depended on what she learned. And she was very lucky to have met Chu Xiang. Even meeting Li Yufeng was a kind of luck. They drew the correct lines on this blank piece of paper, allowing Bai Yi to find her reason in time and not run further and further down the wrong path.
Bai Yi felt that there were things she couldn't figure out, so she went to calm down first. Taking revenge on those demon cultivators was the best way to calm down.
At night, after the mother and son of the Zhuang Family fell asleep, Bai Yi impatiently urged Chu Xiang to go out. [Let's quickly eat the silver fish and cultivate well to repair the inner core.]
Chu Xiang threw out a few stones and divined. While looking at the divination, she said, [Don't worry. Let's find an auspicious location. We can't let anyone disturb us.]
[Where is the location?] Bai Yi also came over to look at the divination.
Chu Xiang narrowed her eyes. [The divination shows … our auspicious location is in the west of the city.]
[West of the city? Doesn't that strange demon cultivator live in the west of the city? He seems to be thinking about our silver fish. Right, he's a demon cultivator. He won't sneak attack us while we're healing, right? If we get injured again, it'll be very difficult for us to heal.] Bai Yi was a bit worried. After all, she hadn't interacted with Li Yufeng before. She just instinctively rejected demon cultivators.
Chu Xiang looked at the divination and muttered, [We've been connected time and time again. Perhaps it's really fate.]
Cultivators were most wary of going against the flow. Every living creature had its own fate. Going against the flow when something happened might just be a trial arranged by the higher-ups. Therefore, the most important thing in cultivation was to not ignore the people and things that were fated to happen. Whether it was good karma or bad karma, it was a kind of tie. Perhaps this Li Yufeng was also a kind of fate. It was just unknown whether it was good or bad.
Chu Xiang was very brave. She immediately said, [Let's go find the red roof and see if it's the auspicious location. If it is … heh, then let's have the demon cultivator protect us this time!]
