When Bai Yi saw Chu Xiang's face, she immediately lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. Her hands uneasily twisted her clothes, and she stuttered: "I, I remember what you said to me, I didn't get cheated, it's just … I found out that he likes me, then I, I also think he is very good, I am very happy with him, I miss him when I can't see him, so … so I …"
Bai Yi remembered the days they spent together and smiled shyly: "Xiang 'er, do you know? When benefactor talked to the white fox, he didn't know that Bai Yi could hear him, so he had a lot of feelings for Bai Yi, it's me. When he talked to Bai Yi, he also said many times that he liked the white fox very much, it's me. Isn't this the fate of the border? "
Chu Xiang glanced at her. Bai Yi's expression and eyes were completely falling in love. In fact, she could understand, because from Bai Yi's childhood, no one had ever treated Bai Yi as well as the scholar. And Bai Yi was not like her, who had seen all kinds of things in the world and knew the complexity of people's hearts. Bai Yi only thought of pure love now, that's all.
Chu Xiang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Everyone needs to grow up alone. If you don't experience some hardships, how can you grow up? If you want to marry, then marry, but listen to me, don't have children. If you want to have children, wait for three years after you get married. If you are still firm in your feelings at that time, I will sincerely bless you. "
These words sounded a bit wrong, full of a bad prophecy. Bai Yi took her arm and shook it. "Xiang 'er, do you hate Benefactor very much? Are you afraid that he won't treat me well? "
Chu Xiang looked at the scholar who was arguing with Zhuang Liushi from a distance, and chuckled: "I have no feelings for him, I don't hate or like him. If you want to be happy with him, 99% of the time you won't, but there is a little possibility that you will really be happy with him. Yiyi, it's very complicated to get along with people in the world. No one can control the change of people's hearts. If I let you go now, you will definitely think about it for a lifetime. It's better for you to experience it yourself and grow up in the crowd. Remember, if there's nothing you can't get through, come find me when you've thought it through. I'll always be here. "
Bai Yi blinked hard, blinked away the tears in her eyes, smiled and hugged Chu Xiang: "I know Xiang 'er will always be the best to me in this world. If you are a man, I will marry you!"
Li Yufeng coughed heavily, "Cough, cough. Erm, there's one more thing I need to talk to you about. You're the one who did it to Sister Jiang, right? Now that they've invited a Daoist priest over, if they find out that it's related to you, I'm afraid the Zhuang Family won't be able to live in peace. "
"Invite a servant?" Bai Yi asked, puzzled. "Didn't you say that she's a concubine's daughter of the Jiang family and isn't favored? Why are you mobilizing so many people? "
"Because the reputation of a concubine's daughter may affect the reputation of all the women in the clan. There are many rules in the world, so I told you not to act rashly. Only by understanding these rules can you know when you should act and when you shouldn't. "Chu Xiang explained to her the importance of a concubine's daughter, a legitimate daughter, and a woman's reputation.
Of course, Bai Yi didn't quite understand. It was the first time she'd heard of such a thing. In the stories of her predecessors, there were even women who got pregnant before marriage. How could she know that there were such strict rules in the world?
Bai Yi said with annoyance, "I seem to be too impulsive. That day … I was just angry. I didn't even bother with her, but she actually wanted to take us back and skin us to feed the dogs. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I only taught her a lesson. I didn't expect that she would still cause trouble. What should I do? How about … we go to the capital ahead of time and leave this place? "
Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng looked at her at the same time. Bai Yi froze for a moment and looked puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is it wrong? "
Li Yufeng touched his chin and considered his words: "It's right to leave this place, but … you've already caused trouble here. If you go to the capital, won't the trouble be even bigger? The skills of the Daoists here are average. If you want to hide, you can hide. If you're in the capital, you might really be caught and skinned to refine pills. "
Bai Yi said confidently: "Don't look down on me. I didn't know before, but now that I know my weakness, I will reflect on it and won't use magic easily."
Chu Xiang shook her head: "Then I'm afraid you'll be wronged."
The three of them didn't say much before the mother and son inside finished arguing. Bai Yi hurriedly went back and pretended to have just come out of the house. She transmitted her voice: [Xiang 'er, don't worry. I'll be careful and won't let myself be wronged.]
Li Yufeng clicked his tongue and whispered to Chu Xiang: "She's stubbornly clinging to her own course. She'll probably be very miserable."
Chu Xiang sneered: "How miserable can it be? It's just an experience in thousands of years. When she looks back in the future, she might be able to smile indifferently. "
"But what if she can't get over this emotional barrier?"
"Then … she's destined to not be able to walk the path of cultivation. Sooner or later, she'll be defeated by this barrier. It's better to reincarnate early and start over."
Chu Xiang turned and left. Li Yufeng hurriedly followed. He looked at her side profile and sighed: "Sometimes, I really don't know if you're affectionate or cold-hearted. But you're always right, and people like you very much."
"Affectionate or cold-hearted?" Chu Xiang thought for a moment and smiled: "It depends on my mood. Don't you know that I'm evil? I've always been so carefree. "
Li Yufeng looked at her without blinking: "Xiang Xiang, you should smile more. You look especially good when you smile."
Chu Xiang raised her eyebrows: "Really? All vixens are good-looking. "
"No, it's not just physically good-looking. It's that kind of … pleasure that can be felt from the depths of one's soul. I don't know why, but you look really good when you smile."
Chu Xiang didn't expect that she would be able to charm a demon hunter in this life after becoming a demon. Walking into the Li family, she hooked onto Li Yufeng's collar and closed the distance between them: "If you don't know why, then show it to me. Let me understand what you're thinking. Maybe if I'm happy, I'll teach you the fox clan's charm techniques. "
The Li family's spirit gathering array was activated. Chu Xiang brought Li Yufeng to the bathing pool. With a slight raise of her hand, the pool water became warm and comfortable. Then, two sets of clothes were thrown onto the bed one after the other. They studied the mysteries of the charm techniques and dual cultivation.
Strength should be matched with pleasure. This was also the reason why Chu Xiang let Bai Yi experience it herself. People who cultivate have all kinds of purposes. They want to become immortals, want to be strong, want to have fun, want to look down on the heroes … No matter what the purpose is, the pleasure of enjoyment should be matched with strength. Otherwise, what is the point of cultivation?
She herself was a complete hedonist, but that was also because she was strong enough to understand all kinds of rules. If Bai Yi wanted to be a great demon freely, she also had to learn these. If she couldn't learn it, then the pain would come sooner rather than later. It was easier to solve the problem early than late.
It was true that a good Dual Cultivation Method could make one's body and mind happy. Of course, Chu Xiang knew the best Dual Cultivation Method. When she came out of the bath, she was already refreshed, as if she had just cultivated.
Li Yufeng's face was full of joy. He was very diligent in preparing Chu Xiang's favorite dishes. Then, he told Chu Xiang all the things he could remember about the Taoists and made a plan to deal with them.
It was a moonless and windy night. They drank and chatted at home until late at night. After calculating the time when the three Taoists opened the altar, they sneaked into the Jiang Mansion again.
Chu Xiang floated into Miss Jiang's room from the back window. Because they were afraid of attracting monsters, there were six maidservants around Miss Jiang, and there were also servants outside the door. Chu Xiang put two fingers together, and a spiritual talisman appeared on her fingertips. She silently made a gesture and threw out the spiritual talisman. The spiritual talisman flew to Miss Jiang very quickly, firmly attached to Miss Jiang's back, and flashed and disappeared.
When Chu Xiang floated away, Miss Jiang suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't keep awake. She couldn't support her head and fainted.
The maidservants were in a panic. They hurriedly helped her lie down and went out to report to the magistrate's wife. The Taoist priest who was practicing in the yard suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Miss Jiang's room. He scolded, "Evil creature! Where are you going?! "Then he chased after her!
"Taoist priest! Hey, Taoist priest?! " The prefectural magistrate's wife panicked. She hurriedly sent people to protect her children and the old lady. She also sent for the other two Taoist masters. Who would have thought that when the servants arrived, they would discover that the other two Taoist priests had also disappeared. From the footprints, it seemed that they had also left the residence.
The prefectural magistrate's wife clutched the prayer beads in her hands and kept chanting, "Bodhisattva bless me! Bodhisattva, bless! You must ask Daoist Priest to subdue the demon. Oh, no, no, no matter if he subdues it or not, don't come to my Jiang Mansion and cause trouble again … "
Chu Xiang purposely didn't restrain her demonic aura to lure the three Daoists out of the city. The Daoist who was good at setting up formations was more cautious. He chased after them and said, "Something's not right. Let's go back first. We're here to find Big Brother and look for things to refine pills. Whether or not the Jiang Family's matter is resolved has nothing to do with us. "
The Taoist priest, who was good at medicine, said, "Big Brother and the others lost contact around here, and a powerful fox spirit just happened to appear here. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? What if there was a connection? We must find this fox spirit, Major! "
The Taoist priest, who was poisoned by the cold poison, coughed a few times and said with difficulty, "If we're sure to win, then let's go. If not, then forget it."
Chu Xiang sat on the branch above their heads and smiled. "You don't have to fight. None of you can leave today."
"Fox spirit!" The three of them were shocked. They looked up at the same time and immediately made a defensive posture.
Chu Xiang laughed outside and said, "What's wrong? I can't believe that you didn't notice that I was sitting here. When you schemed against me and my sister, didn't you check our cultivation levels? "
The three of them stepped back at the same time. They were even more surprised when they saw Chu Xiang floating down from the branch.
"You're … the fox spirit in Mei Mountain? How is it possible?! You were dying that day. It was obvious that you were seriously injured and couldn't be cured. How, how … "
Chu Xiang walked toward them with her hands behind her back and smiled. "How can I recover so quickly? Because I'm favored by Taoism. You're all so unlucky. You're not favored by Taoism. Are you looking for your Big Brother? You can't find him! "
"You killed him?!" The three Taoist priests were shocked and angry. They used their strongest magic to attack Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang easily dodged the attack. Other than Li Yufeng, no one else would be able to survive. She displayed her true strength without any scruples. Of course, she had a much easier time than dealing with the three Daoists from before. The three of them were simply unable to resist.
The Taoist priest who was poisoned fell beside the tree. He took out a bag of medicinal powder and was about to scatter it when the bag was taken away by a hand from behind the tree.
Li Yufeng leaned against the tree and sniffed the medicinal powder. He looked at him in disdain and said, "You're too despicable. You actually used an aphrodisiac. Is there something wrong with your brain?" He suddenly realized and said, "Oh … You must have no other medicine on you. It seems like you've done a lot of wicked things. You even carry this kind of medicine with you. You're really helping the people get rid of evil."
The Taoist priest saw him clearly and said angrily, "You're not a demon? Are you human? How can you help this demon do evil?! "
Li Yufeng spread his hands and said, "She's our queen. Of course I have to listen to her. Tsk, do you guys have nothing better to do? You're sick but you don't want to cure it. Instead, you went to scheme against the fox demon. Are you bullying her because she hasn't left the mountain and doesn't know anything? You've kicked an iron plate, haven't you? "
"You! Pfff — "The Taoist priest was already poisoned. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Yufeng said in surprise, "I can make you vomit blood?" He shook his head and said, "Alright, I'm sorry. You can go first!"
He then sent out a palm. This palm seemed ordinary, but it was extremely fast. The Taoist priest wanted to dodge but he couldn't. He took a solid hit and died instantly.
Li Yufeng took off the storage bag on his body and looked at the medicinal powder in his hand. He threw it at him in disgust and set him on fire.
On the other side, Chu Xiang had already dealt with the two Taoist priests. She also set fire to them and took back two storage bags. The two of them poured the contents of the storage bags on the ground. Li Yufeng rummaged around and said, "What's all this? A bunch of medicinal herbs. These things are good, but I don't know how to refine them. The longer they are left here, the more spiritual energy they will consume. It's a waste. "
These three people probably stayed because they were sick, so they gave all the good things to the three people in front of them. Most of the things they left were medicinal herbs, but they were all good ones.
Chu Xiang opened a box and saw the Shan Xuelian inside. She smiled and said, "It's this thing that tempted us sisters. So they really got the Shan Xuelian."
Li Yufeng sighed and said, "My family has an alchemy furnace passed down from my ancestors and also a manual. But I can't learn it so fast."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Learn what? I know how to. "
"Ah? You know how to? " Li Yufeng saw Chu Xiang stand up and leave. He immediately tidied up the things on the ground and chased after her, "Hey, why do I find that you know how to do everything? Who did you learn from? "
"I'm not telling you!" Chu Xiang tilted her head and smiled at him, "It's not necessarily good to know too much. Even if you're Bai Xiaosheng, you should never ask about me."
Li Yufeng was smart and immediately understood. He held her hand and smiled, "I promise, I will never ask about you."
"Let's go back and refine pills!" Chu Xiang pulled him and flew back home. It could be foreseen that the days ahead would not be boring at all. Just Li Yufeng alone was very interesting. Demons had a long lifespan. Did she find herself a playmate?
Li Yufeng's biggest advantage was that he respected Chu Xiang very much. If Chu Xiang did not want him to know, he really would not ask, nor would he inquire from other places. When the two returned home, he went to the storeroom and took out the alchemy furnace passed down by the Li family's ancestors. He gave it to Chu Xiang, "My family's treasure, I'll give it to you."
He hugged Chu Xiang from behind, "I'll give you everything in my family's storeroom. Is it enough as a betrothal gift?"
Chu Xiang looked at the alchemy furnace, "Why don't I find more things to give you as a betrothal gift and let you follow me to the mountains to be my husband?"
Li Yufeng laughed heartily, "Okay, it's a deal. Then I'll wait for your betrothal gift!"
Chu Xiang turned around and rolled her eyes at him, "I've never seen someone as happy as you when they're about to get married. Go over there, I'm going to refine pills."
Li Yufeng kissed her and obediently sat down at the side to watch Chu Xiang refine pills.
Chu Xiang did not remember how many years she had lived as a Devil Cultivator. In any case, she knew what she should know and what she shouldn't know. Her attainments in alchemy were not shallow. Although she had transmigrated to so many worlds and had not touched alchemy for a while, when the alchemy furnace and herbs were placed in front of her, she immediately got started. She was very skilled.
She had always been focused when she did things, so she didn't even know when it was bright. When all the herbs in front of her were used up, Li Yufeng had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for her.
Li Yufeng saw her stop and asked, "How is it? Are these herbs suitable? If you don't like them, we can go find good spiritual plants. "
Chu Xiang put words on the dozens of white porcelain bottles in front of her and shook her head, "We don't need any pills, so there's no need to look for them. We'll find them when we find them. These are not bad, especially the Mountain Snow Lotus. I refined three Snow Lotus Pills, which can broaden the meridians, nourish the yin and yang, heal serious injuries, and help people advance. The three of us will each have one. "
"Okay." Li Yufeng took the Snow Lotus Pill handed over by Chu Xiang, and his heart was filled with endless joy. He directly put the Snow Lotus Pill into a pendant with a mechanism and wore it around his neck.
Instead of this best quality pill given to him by Chu Xiang, it was better to give him a share of her value and treat him as her own. He treasured this pill not to eat it, but as a token of love. He had to wear it every day.
Chu Xiang moved her fingers and released a paper crane. She sent a message to Bai Yi, [Yiyi, I got some pills. Come and get them. Remember to go to the Jiang Mansion to deal with the aftermath and solve the trouble you caused.]
Li Yufeng was a little surprised. He scooped rice for her and said, "You're not helping her this time?"
Chu Xiang held her chin and said, "She has to experience more to mature. If I always help her, won't I be harming her? I just need to be here. "
"En?" Li Yufeng understood something. He put down the bowl and asked, "You want to follow her? Go to the capital? "
"Otherwise? If she is really caught by the people in the capital, we can't save her because we are too far away. Anyway, we have nothing to do. Why don't we go to the capital where there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers to play? " Chu Xiang took a bite of the chicken leg. She was a little surprised that she really liked to eat chicken after turning into a fox spirit.
Li Yufeng gave her the other chicken leg and said with a smile, "Then let's go to the capital to play."
They enjoyed a warm breakfast in the yard, but the atmosphere in the courtyard of the Zhuang Family was very stiff. Zhuang Yulang knew that Zhuang Liushi had sold the fox, so he went to the cave to look for it. Of course, Bai Yi couldn't make a fox to tease him again. After he came back, he was so angry that he didn't eat or talk to Zhuang Liushi.
Zhuang Liushi panicked. She changed from reprimanding him to coaxing him. She even began to cry and complain about how difficult it was for her. She was afraid that the neighbors would know and affect Zhuang Yulang, so she only dared to cry in the house. This made things difficult for Bai Yi. Her hearing was too good. She almost listened to Zhuang Liushi's crying all night.
After dawn, Zhuang Liushi also thought about it all night. She felt uneasy. She was afraid that her son would really resent her, so she said, "I will go find that Miss Jiang and ask her to return the fox. I, I don't want the banknotes. I will return the banknotes to her."
The Jiang Family was in a mess. How could there be a fox? Wouldn't Zhuang Liushi be exposed if she went?!
Bai Yi hurriedly stopped her, "Hey, auntie, don't be anxious. If you go to find someone to ask for the fox, why would they care? Moreover … this is too rude. "
Zhuang Liushi shook off her hand and frowned, "What does this have to do with you? You are not my family. Don't meddle in other people's business. Yesterday, you saw me as a joke, right? Are you secretly laughing in your heart? You … "
"Mother!" Zhuang Yulang angrily pushed the door open, "When will you calm down? Why did you become like this? The family has no peaceful days. If it is not because of this quarrel, then it is because of that quarrel. During the days when you were recuperating, it was Miss Bai who took care of you. The laundry, cooking, and cleaning of the house, which one of them was not done by her? Why do you still dislike her? Why are you always nitpicking? "
Zhuang Liushi widened her eyes, "You, you are actually criticizing me for such an unknown girl?"
Bai Yi heard the sound of the door opening next door. She hurriedly pulled Zhuang Liushi into the room and said with a smile, "Auntie, Zhuang Xiu did not mean that. He is in a bad mood and anxious."
"I know my son better than you. There is no need for you to pretend to be kind!" Zhuang Liushi shook off her hand again. Hearing her words, she became even angrier. They were mother and son. When did it become an outsider's turn to mediate?
The fire in Bai Yi's heart burst out, but she maintained a smile on her face. She turned to Zhuang Yulang and said, "Scholar Zhuang, didn't you say that those two foxes are very smart? Do they still recognize you? In my opinion, it is better to wait. They are very likely to be reluctant to part with you and run back on their own. However, of course, I cannot accept the money from Miss Jiang. I am about the same age as her. It is better for me to find her and return the money. "
Zhuang Yulang now felt from the bottom of his heart that his mother was an unreasonable shrew. As a man, it was inconvenient for him to find Miss Jiang. Of course, it was best for Bai Yi, a reasonable confidante, to go. He gratefully bowed, "Then I will have to trouble Miss Bai."
"Scholar Zhuang is too polite. I should be grateful that you are willing to take me in."
Zhuang Liushi looked at the two of them and compared it to the tit-for-tat between Zhuang Yulang and her. She was so angry that her heart hurt. How could she have the mind to find someone? She directly threw the banknotes and money on the table and went back to her room to lie down.
Zhuang Yulang also apologized to Bai Yi for this, "I really did not expect my mother to be like this. I am sorry."
"It's okay." Bai Yi's anger disappeared. After all, she was her benefactor's mother. She did not want to make things difficult for her benefactor. She came to repay her kindness. She hoped that she could appease Zhuang Liushi so that Zhuang Yulang could prepare for the exam in peace.
Bai Yi went to the Jiang family quietly. She secretly observed and found that the people in the Jiang family were very frightened about the demon. They were also very concerned about Miss Jiang's loss of reputation. She thought about it and went to wake Miss Jiang up first. She once again used magic to make Miss Jiang forget what happened in the past few days. She turned into a fox and ran away. Zhuang Liushi returned the money.
Then she used her power to blur the memories of the past few days in the Jiang family. This was not easy to do. After she finished using her power, she was sweating and very tired. However, this matter was finally over. No one would investigate why Miss Jiang fainted in the courtyard that day, and no one would worry about whether or not a demon would appear in the Jiang family.
Bai Yi looked at the Jiang family that had returned to normal and felt deep regret. If she had not used magic in a moment of anger, how could it have been so troublesome? She would need to cultivate for at least half a month to recover the power she had lost. The gains did not make up for the losses. Moreover, if a Daoist priest or monk happened to see it, they would be able to see that the demon had used magic on the people in the Jiang family.
This was a place of trouble and she could not stay for long. Bai Yi frowned and warned herself not to act rashly.
She went to the Li family and sighed to Chu Xiang, "The world is really complicated. I don't know how long it will take for me to learn. I really want to go back to the mountains."
Chu Xiang smiled and asked, "Are you willing to part with your benefactor?"
"I can't …" Bai Yi was in a difficult position. She did not like to live in the crowd. She felt very tired. But in the end, her feelings of liking Zhuang Yulang prevailed and she decided to stay.
She made up her mind, "Xiang 'er, I have decided. From today onwards, I will treat myself as an ordinary woman. I will not use magic. I will not use magic at all. This way, even if I don't understand the rules, I will not cause trouble."
Chu Xiang shrugged, "Up to you. Just treat yourself as an ascetic monk. It's good to experience it. Are you going to the capital? Yufeng and I will go too. We will be … your neighbors. "
Bai Yi's eyes lit up. She happily held Chu Xiang's hand, "Xiang 'er, you are so nice! This way, we can always be together. But … how can you be neighbors with the Zhuang family? "
Chu Xiang said casually, "It's very simple. We are also going to take the exam."
Bai Yi was puzzled, "Take the exam? Who? "
Li Yufeng pointed at himself, "Do I not look like a scholar? A pale-faced scholar. I only need to change my clothes and I'll look like one. When the time comes, our two families will become friends. When we go to the unfamiliar capital, isn't it reasonable to rent a courtyard and take care of each other? "
Li Yufeng was fair and clean, and looked very handsome. He really did look like a scholar. Furthermore, he was quite knowledgeable and smart. No one would be able to see through his disguise as a scholar. Who would have thought that he was actually a demon hunter?
After Bai Yi looked at Li Yufeng, she pulled Chu Xiang and Gao Xin, "Well, I will wait for you to meet on the road. With you, I am not afraid of anything."
Chu Xiang gave the Snow Lotus Pill to Bai Yi and gave her a few bottles of other pills. When Bai Yi learned that the three Daoist priests were also dead, the things in her heart were all settled. She went back to the Zhuang family with ease. Of course, she didn't forget to summon two gray foxes.
Zhuang Yulang was very happy to see the foxes. He bathed the two foxes with Bai Yi. Bai Yi took the opportunity to mention to him about going to the capital. She was willing to take out her belongings as travel expenses. At first, Zhuang Yulang didn't agree. However, Bai Yi's neighbors had seen that the mother and son were not on good terms. If they continued to live here, if there were any rumors, it would be very unfavorable for him.
Zhuang Yulang felt that it was very reasonable. He also had the idea of going to the capital in advance to discuss with Zhuang Liushi.
Bai Yi naturally wanted to follow Zhuang Yulang and take care of him. Especially since Bai Yi was the one who paid for the travel expenses. However, Zhuang Liushi's first thought was that her son had forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. Bai Yi hadn't even married into the family yet, but Zhuang Yulang wanted to take Bai Yi to the capital to enjoy life. How could he leave her alone in her hometown?
