The array in Li Yufeng's house isolated the inside from the outside. Not only did the three Daoists not discover Chu Xiang and the others, but Chu Xiang and the others also didn't know that their enemies had just come and were so close to them, at a critical moment when they were healing.
Chu Xiang's injuries were almost healed. After eating the silver fish and releasing her spiritual power, the cracks on her Neidan were completely repaired. Bai Yi's injuries were lighter than Chu Xiang's, but her recovery time was slightly longer than Chu Xiang's. After all, Chu Xiang was the one who had cultivated for who knows how many years, so her recovery was much smoother.
The two of them cultivated for more than two hours. After their injuries were healed, they could transform into their human forms. In the blink of an eye, the two foxes, one red and one white, turned into two beautiful girls sitting there!
Their clothes were naturally transformed from their fur. Chu Xiang was dressed in red, which happened to be her favorite color. Her appearance was also strong, bright, and generous, which made her feel very good. Bai Yi was also very beautiful, but she was a little prettier, which matched her white dress very well.
Fox demons liked gorgeous and beautiful things very much, so the two of them transformed into clothes that were very luxurious and eye-catching. Chu Xiang then thought of why Bai Yi and Miss Jiang were dressed so shabbily. Compared with their clothes, how could there be clothes that weren't shabby in this world? This was something that even the best embroiderer couldn't do.
Bai Yi opened her eyes and saw Chu Xiang. She smiled happily and pulled her, "Xiang 'er! Our injuries are healed! Great, we finally don't have to walk on four legs. After so many years of being in human form, this is the first time I've been a fox for so long. "
"Well, you don't seem to be a fox after transforming. Let's go out and see what Li Yufeng is doing." Chu Xiang stood up and smoothed her hair. She was very satisfied with her appearance and said, "It's easy for people to notice us like this. It's better to keep a low profile. The fewer people notice us, the better. Become a little more ordinary. "
"Ah? Isn't it better to be more beautiful? You want to become ordinary? "Bai Yi didn't wait for Chu Xiang to answer and said," Okay, I'll listen to you. I think you're right about everything. "
Bai Yi smiled and took Chu Xiang's arm, intimately saying, "Xiang 'er, you're so nice, I feel like you're my elder sister."
"Then why don't you call me 'sister'?" Chu Xiang fiddled with her sleeves. "There's no need to change it for the time being. There's no one else here. Let's ask Li Yufeng about the situation and go outside to transform. Let's go and see if Li Yufeng knows about those stinky Daoists. "
"Yes! Since they dared to scheme against us, we'll make them regret it for the rest of their lives! "When Bai Yi mentioned those people, her teeth itched with hatred, and her face turned cold.
Chu Xiang patted her hand, raised her eyebrows and smiled. "What are you angry about? Now that our injuries have healed, they are the ones who should escape. Let's go and settle the score with them. "
As they walked out of the door, Li Yufeng happened to hear the word "settle accounts" and raised his head in confusion. "Settle accounts? Who should I look for … "
He couldn't take his eyes off Chu Xiang's face and couldn't help but reveal a stunned expression. He didn't even finish his sentence.
Bai Yi giggled and waved her hand in front of him. "Hey! Come back to your senses! What are you doing? Looking at our Xiang 'er in a daze? "
Chu Xiang also smiled faintly. "Did you forget that you're a demon hunter? You can be so fascinated by looking at demons. Haven't you seen a good-looking demon before? "
"I've seen, but I've never seen one as good-looking as you." Li Yufeng was also very talkative. He went along with the conversation and praised her. Then, he said seriously, "I'm sorry to offend you, but this is the first time I've seen a fox demon. Is it true that their appearance is better than other demons?"
"Of course, just look at the two of us and you'll know. Thank you for protecting us. Are you alright? " Chu Xiang had experienced too many worlds and had been a top idol before. She had long become accustomed to other people's stunned gazes and didn't feel shy or uncomfortable at all. She calmly sat opposite Li Yufeng and poured herself a cup of tea.
Li Yufeng thought of the three Daoists and immediately said, "Just now when you were healing, three Daoists came looking for two heavily injured foxes, one red and one white."
He looked at them and saw that Bai Yi's expression had changed, as if it was filled with hatred. Chu Xiang didn't have much of a reaction and only asked him which direction the Daoists went.
Li Yufeng pointed them in the direction. "What are you doing? Are you still going to chase after them? Can you do it? Don't come back injured, the silver fish is gone. "
Bai Yi said angrily, "What else can we do? Are we going to let them slip away like this? "
Li Yufeng shrugged. "But didn't you get injured by them? What can you do if you recklessly chase after them now? Maybe you'll get injured again. "
"Crow's beak!" Bai Yi muttered and touched Chu Xiang's arm. "Xiang 'er, what about you? Are you going to chase? "
"There's no rush. Let's ask about the situation first." Chu Xiang looked up at Li Yufeng. "Do you know them? Or have you heard of them? With us? "
Li Yufeng suddenly realized. "You're willing to treat me as a friend because you're waiting for me here, right? You want me to tell you all this nonsense. "
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Then do you want to tell us? Don't you like people talking to you? We're talking to you now. Don't you want to? "
"I want to, okay, okay!" Li Yufeng thought for a moment and began to tell them what he knew.
Those Daoists were not active in this area. Li Yufeng only knew them from hearsay and had never interacted with them. But from the information he heard, there were six people in this Daoist group. Among them, one was very good at drawing talismans, one was very good at setting up arrays, and one was very good at using swords. The remaining three were slightly weaker than them and mainly cooperated with them.
These six Daoists didn't have a good reputation because they weren't very friendly to people. When interacting with them, it always felt like you owed them money. They were like smelly and hard stones in a latrine pit. Li Yufeng even gave a detailed example of how he met the three Daoists and described their rudeness quite vividly.
However, the biggest advantage of these six Daoists was that they didn't have a good relationship with others. If the six of them were really destroyed together, heh, then so be it. No one would take revenge for them. On the contrary, people might even steal the good things they collected.
Li Yufeng learned more and Chu Xiang also obtained more information. She slowly analyzed and deduced the goal of the six Daoists. It seemed like they wanted to dig out their inner cores to refine medicine for one of the six people. That person was poisoned and didn't have long to live. If they could use the inner core of a Great Demon to refine medicine, they would recover in a few days.
The inner core of a Great Demon was very difficult to obtain. The six Daoists should have looked for it for a long time. In the end, because the original owner and Bai Yi lived in the mountains all year round and had a pure temperament, they targeted them and deliberately set up a trap to kill them.
Bai Yi angrily said, "What are they? Are they worthy of being righteous people? They're far worse than us demons! "
Li Yufeng sighed, "Ai, that's why I said that there are good and bad demons, and there are also good and bad humans. Why are you so obsessed with being a human or a demon or something else? It's fine as long as you distinguish between good and bad. "
Chu Xiang's finger lightly tapped on the table for a moment and said, "Now that they're moving separately, their battle strength is reduced by half. Moreover, they came here today and they believe Li Yufeng's words. They believe that we're not in this area and will definitely let down their guard. Yi Yi, today is the best time to kill them. Are you going? "
"Let's go!" Bai Yi didn't hesitate and immediately stood up, "We must take revenge for this, the sooner the better!"
Chu Xiang nodded, "En, let's go."
Li Yufeng hurriedly stopped them, "Ai, why are you leaving like this? They injured you so heavily. Can you win if you go now? Revenge has always been about accumulating strength. It's not too late to take revenge after ten years … "
Chu Xiang interrupted him and said, "I can't wait that long. I've always liked to take revenge on the spot. This time, it's already too late to take revenge after I recover. We can't delay any longer. "
"Right, what ten years isn't too late? Ten years is too late. We must take revenge now! " Bai Yi listened to Chu Xiang's words on this point. She really felt that Chu Xiang was much smarter than her and was more willing to listen to Chu Xiang.
Li Yufeng pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll still help you. But if people find out that I helped two demons, I won't be able to mix in the future. Wait for me to change my appearance."
Li Yufeng's house was filled with a bunch of strange things. After a while, he turned into an old man with a crooked back and a white beard. He walked out while coughing.
Bai Yi thought it was very funny and laughed, "Humans are too funny. It's so troublesome to change your appearance."
Li Yufeng's face was full of doubts, "You demons don't have to do this? Can you change everything? Other demons can't see it? "
"It's not that everything can be changed, but at least it's not as troublesome as you. You even have to paste half of your beard." Bai Yi felt that she really didn't understand humans. It was right to leave her benefactor temporarily. She didn't want to cause trouble and implicate her benefactor.
It was Chu Xiang's first time being a fox spirit. She hadn't changed into anything else. Hearing this, she didn't say anything and suddenly turned into a snow-white rabbit. She curled up on the stool like a snow-white ball of fur.
Li Yufeng unconsciously laughed, "Chu Xiang, do you like this appearance? Round, don't, it's quite cute. "
Bai Yi smiled, "Xiang 'er, you and I are the same color now. I don't know what name our benefactor will give you if he sees you."
When the name was mentioned, the three of them all laughed. Chu Xiang also returned to her human form. Bai Yi found it funny and helpless, "Benefactor is clearly a scholar. He should be very good at naming people. Why did he let us be called Xue 'er and Hong' er? Did he give us names based on our colors? "
Chu Xiang glanced at her, "Maybe he will give us nice names. He gave us this name just because he doesn't care. After all, we were just picked up and raised casually."
Bai Yi couldn't accept this method. It seemed that her attention to Zhuang Yulang was one-sided. Zhuang Yulang didn't care about her so much.
Chu Xiang saw her doubts and was not in a hurry to catch up with the Taoist priest. She pulled her out and said, "Don't believe me? Let's go and see, won't we know? Don't let him find us. "
"I'll go too!" Li Yufeng couldn't stand the life of no one to talk to. He immediately followed and smiled, "I'm a human. If you don't know anything, you can ask me."
The three of them secretly came to the Zhuang family. The mother and son of the Zhuang family just got up. Zhuang Liushi went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When she passed by the yard, she glanced casually. Unexpectedly, there was no fox on the straw nest. She frowned and stopped to look around. She simply looked around the yard, "Beast, running around again!"
Bai Yi was getting more and more annoyed with Zhuang Liushi. She always scolded them inexplicably. She looked up and saw a bird passing by. She waved her hand and controlled the bird to hover above Zhuang Liushi's head. Three times, bird feces fell on Zhuang Liushi's face!
Zhuang Liushi was stunned for a moment. She reached out and wiped it. Suddenly, her face changed greatly. She couldn't help but cry out and hurriedly went to wash it.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Zhuang Yulang heard the roar and hurriedly put on his clothes. When he saw Zhuang Liushi's appearance, his expression changed slightly. He wanted to go forward and help, but he was hesitant.
Bai Yi was slightly stunned. She looked at Chu Xiang and sent her a message. [Benefactor, he … what does he mean?]
[You still don't understand? He thinks it's dirty.] Chu Xiang held her chin and looked at the mother and son inside. Once again, she cruelly broke Bai Yi's fantasy about her benefactor.
Bai Yi didn't say anything. She looked at Zhuang Yulang until Zhuang Yulang rolled up his sleeves and went forward to help Zhuang Liushi wash her face. She whispered, [He still cares about his mother, but … maybe it's the first time he encountered such a thing. He doesn't know what to do.]
Li Yufeng looked at her sympathetically. He didn't say anything. Human thoughts were complicated. How could she make such a judgment?
The first thing Zhuang Liushi did after washing her face was, "Son, the two foxes disappeared again. This time, it seems that they ran away. There's no place to hide in our house. Alas. "
"What? They ran away? " Zhuang Yulang hurriedly looked at the straw nest and searched every corner of the yard. He said disappointedly, "They're really gone. Why did they suddenly run away? By the way, mother, did you catch them yesterday? Did you scare them? "
"Me? I didn't. I was just afraid that they would run away, so I wanted to lock them in a cage. But, but they didn't run away at that time. Who knows what happened? "Zhuang Liushi felt a little guilty. Could it be that she really scared them away?
If it was in the past, Bai Yi would definitely feel that her benefactor valued her and said such words for her and Zhuang Liushi. But perhaps because she had been taught too much by Chu Xiang, her first reaction this time was actually — if Zhuang Yulang was like this to his own mother, then wouldn't he be even worse to others? If there were other foxes in the future, would Zhuang Yulang blame her for that fox?
Zhuang Yulang was still talking to Zhuang Liushi, "Mother, we were good at that time. I raised them. Why … Why do you always have problems with them? They didn't get in your way! "
Zhuang Liushi was speechless, "Yes, they didn't get in my way, but I did it for you. You see, you're always distracted by their matters. I was afraid that they would run away and upset you. Didn't I want to lock them up so that you can see them at any time? You see how upset you are now? Do you still have the mood to study? "
When it came to studying, Zhuang Liushi became more confident and her voice became louder, "Do you still want to take the imperial examination? Do you still want to be an official? How can you bring honor to your ancestors! "
Zhuang Yulang was upset. He wiped his face and said, "Mother, I know. I'll wash my face and go study."
Bai Yi said, [This woman is really annoying. Benefactor doesn't necessarily like to study. She keeps saying that she loves him, but why does she always make him do things that he doesn't like? If only I could help him study and let him do whatever he likes, he would be free.]
Li Yufeng said in surprise, [White Fox, you're really good. You can even tolerate this? Your benefactor didn't even go out to look for you. He obviously doesn't care about you. If he lost you, then he lost you. There's no need to look for you.]
Bai Yi frowned and said, [His mother didn't let him. What does it have to do with him? I don't know. I'm not human. I don't understand. I only know that my benefactor is angry with his mother because of me. He's still biased towards me. Hmm … It should be, right?]
Bai Yi had already begun to waver. She was just stubborn. Chu Xiang noticed that there were no stars in her eyes when she looked at Zhuang Yulang. This was a good sign. They had a lot of good time. It was not worth wasting it on a man like Zhuang Yulang.
Bai Yi didn't want to look anymore. She pulled Chu Xiang's sleeve and said, [Let's go. We'll take revenge! The sooner we go, the sooner we return. Who knows, we might find that those Daoist priests have good treasures.]
[Let's go.] Chu Xiang flashed and disappeared outside the Zhuang family's wall. Bai Yi and Li Yufeng followed closely behind.
Zhuang Yulang had already washed his face and entered the room to study. Zhuang Liushi felt uncomfortable. She always felt that her son was not as obedient as before.
She made breakfast and brought it in for Zhuang Yulang. Zhuang Yulang didn't say anything. He quickly finished eating, gave her the empty bowl, and continued to study. It was as if he was angry. Didn't she want him to study? Then he would keep reading.
Zhuang Liushi sighed. She carefully folded the clothes that had been washed and dried. She carried them to the employer and planned to receive new clothes. This time, she didn't know why, but she felt that walking wasn't as easy as before. It was as if things had suddenly become heavy.
She didn't know that in the past, Bai Yi would take special care of her and not let her be too tired. She was afraid that Zhuang Yulang would feel distressed. Now that Bai Yi wasn't here, everything in the Zhuang family returned to normal. Zhuang Liushi felt a little uncomfortable.
She struggled to carry a large basin of clothes back. When she walked into an alley, she met a servant girl. The servant girl directly blocked her path and smiled, "Are you Scholar Zhuang's mother? Scholar Zhuang helped my eldest sister before. My eldest sister wants to thank Scholar Zhuang. It's just that it's inconvenient between men and women, so my eldest sister didn't come. Instead, she asked me to ask you if your family's fox is for sale. The price is good. "
Zhuang Liushi was stunned, "Ah? Fox? Your eldest sister wants to buy it? "
The servant girl nodded, "Yes. My eldest sister plans to buy the fox. This way, your family won't have to worry about taking care of it. Scholar Zhuang is about to participate in the imperial exam. It's not good to be distracted by playing with the fox, right? My eldest sister will definitely take good care of it. When Scholar Zhuang becomes the top scholar in the future, she will find some servants to take care of the fox. At that time, Scholar Zhuang will have the leisure to appreciate it, right? "
Zhuang Liushi was very tempted, but the fox had already run away. She didn't know where it went. How could she take it out?
She hesitated to think about the truth, but the servant girl misunderstood. The servant girl smiled and stuffed ten taels of silver into her hands, "This is the down payment. When you get the fox, I'll give you another fifty taels. Please think about it carefully. This is also for Scholar Zhuang's good. It's not like you're doing anything to the fox. You're just letting my eldest sister take care of it. Don't worry, the servants in our residence will take good care of the fox. Even if you regret it in the future, you can still take the fox back. After all, my eldest sister mainly wants to repay your kindness and solve Scholar Zhuang's problem. "
Zhuang Liushi stared at the ten taels of silver and couldn't move.
Ten taels of silver! Ten taels of silver! She usually worked herself to death washing clothes and didn't earn much money. Now, a fox could be sold for sixty taels of silver! She subconsciously asked, "What if there are two foxes? One red and one white, how many would there be in total? "
The servant girl despised her in her heart, but on the surface, she said, "I'll have to go back and ask my eldest sister. Previously, she didn't know that you had a fox."
Zhuang Liushi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you can ask, ask properly. These two foxes are very obedient and very sensible. One is snow-white, you've seen it before. The other is fiery red, it's even more beautiful! "
"Okay, then I'll go back and ask my eldest sister. After I've asked, I'll come back to find you." The servant girl felt that there was nothing good to do with a greedy woman. She would just go back and ask clearly before coming back.
After the servant girl left, Zhuang Liushi hurriedly hid the silver and calmly returned home. This time, she didn't tell Zhuang Yulang about the matter. Instead, she secretly hid the silver and then looked for the two foxes inside and outside the house. She didn't even let go of a strand of their fur. She wanted to find where they ran away from. As long as she could find them, she would have an extra one hundred and twenty taels of silver. It would be enough for them to spend for a long time!
When the servant girl told Miss Jiang about the red fox, Miss Jiang frowned and said, "That scholar likes foxes? Why did he raise two of them? Hmph, if there are two, then there are two. Hurry up and bring that beast back. I'll blame it for being embarrassed in public! If it hadn't scratched my skirt, how could I have sat in that sedan chair and rolled out of it? I must kill it! "
Bai Yi sneezed heavily. Chu Xiang looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong? You'll catch a cold? "
Bai Yi smiled in puzzlement, "How is that possible? I'm fine. "
Li Yufeng joked, "Maybe someone is thinking about you. You'll be like this when you hear someone talking about you."
Bai Yi's mood suddenly improved, "Then it must be my benefactor talking about me. Other than him, no one else wants me to go back."
Chu Xiang squatted on the ground and observed the traces left by the Daoist priest. She stood up and said, "Then let's hurry up. After we get rid of them, we can still rush back for dinner. At that time, you can play with your benefactor again."
