Heavy rain poured down.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Outside the Mountain God Temple, a figure appeared, causing the temperature in the temple to drop significantly.
It was a woman, a very enchanting woman.
She wore thin clothes and looked beautiful. A bolt of lightning appeared and illuminated the woman's appearance. She was indeed very beautiful.
The people from the trading company widened their eyes and looked at the enchanting woman.
"Miss, do you want to come over and sit?"
Some people were even more daring and took the initiative to invite her over.
But soon, the curly-bearded man snorted coldly.
"A woman suddenly appeared in the wilderness wearing so little. Aren't you guys afraid that she's a demon and eat your lust?"
The voice of the curly-bearded man immediately made the people from the trading company come to their senses. In an instant, they shut their mouths and their bodies trembled slightly, not daring to think about it.
Indeed, in the wilderness, who knew if she was a human or a ghost?
"Hehe, I am indeed a demon, and a demon that specializes in eating humans."
The woman chuckled and then walked in slowly. She came to the bonfire and looked at Lu Changsheng. "Sir, the wind and rain are strong outside and I am drenched. Can I lean against the bonfire and dry my body? I don't want to be wet and uncomfortable. "
The woman opened her mouth and her voice was extremely enchanting, causing one's heart to itch.
"It's better to be wet."
Lu Changsheng smiled and did not refuse. He casually threw the dry wood beside him into the bonfire.
Pa pa! Pa pa!
When the dry wood fell into the bonfire, there was a crackling sound. The flames burned and the temperature of the Mountain God Temple rose.
"Hehe, this Sir is really humorous. Sir, aren't you afraid that I'm a demon?"
The enchanting woman sat beside Lu Changsheng. Her figure was exquisite and because her clothes were stained with rain, it stuck to her body. Everything was faintly discernible, making her even more enchanting.
"So what if you're a demon? So what if you're not a demon? Who said that demons must harm people? "
Lu Changsheng smiled at the woman. However, his eyes were clear and he only looked.
But at this moment, the curly-bearded man could not help but snort.
"Demons are demons, using beauty to seduce people, using wealth to make people fall. Young man, don't fall for their tricks."
The curly-bearded man said this, but he did not look at Lu Changsheng, so he seemed casual, but in fact, he was indirectly scolding the locust.
However, Lu Changsheng just chuckled.
As for the enchanting woman, she fiddled with the bonfire and slowly said, "Everyone says that fiendish demons do all sorts of evil, but when humans do all sorts of evil, they are even more terrifying than fiendish demons."
She opened her mouth casually and continued to speak.
"Since I have nothing to do, let me tell you a story."
At this point, sparks burst out from the bonfire and scattered around.
The Mountain God Temple was very quiet.
Everyone fell silent.
"Fifty years ago, in Beiliang County, there was a scholar in Anzhi County. He studied hard for ten years, but unfortunately, he was unable to pass the imperial examinations and became a poor scholar. He had no wife, no children, and was penniless."
"I don't know what kind of luck this scholar had, but when he was studying at home, he met an injured fox. The scholar fed the fox some of his dried rations, and while the fox was recuperating, it kept the scholar company."
"But in reality, the fox was a spirit fox. Why did she repay the scholar's kindness by breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day, blessing the scholar's body, allowing him to be enlightened, and from then on, studying was like having divine help."
"Later on, the spirit fox's injuries healed, and she transformed into a human. She was pure and beautiful, and was willing to devote herself to the scholar to repay him for saving her life."
"She even said that if one day, the scholar did not like her, she would leave of her own accord."
"The scholar was overjoyed, perhaps because the white fox was too beautiful, or perhaps because it was a spirit fox."
"Just like that, the scholar and the white fox lived an enviable life. After three years, the white fox had completely fallen in love with the scholar, and the scholar had completely fallen in love with the white fox."
"However, three years later, the scholar ranked first in the imperial examinations, and became the top scholar. He was even fancied by the princess, who wanted him to become the Emperor's son-in-law."
"In front of the nobles, the scholar let go of everything. He became the Emperor's son-in-law, a second-rank official, and enjoyed wealth."
"When the white fox found out about all this, she was not angry, nor did she say anything. She just waited alone in my humble abode for three years."
"Three years later, the scholar had become the Prime Minister of the dynasty, and wielded great power. He came to my humble abode, but he brought many soldiers and necromancers with him."
"It was because the current Emperor's illness was beyond cure. Some necromancers said that in order to cure the illness, one needed to use the spirit fox's blood as medicine to cure the illness and prolong his life. The Emperor said that as long as anyone could find the white fox's blood, he would pass the throne to that person."
"The scholar returned with his soldiers. The white fox smiled. When she saw the scholar, she smiled very happily."
"However, the scholar's cold face told the white fox his purpose. He wanted to take the white fox's blood essence."
"The scholar understood that this would shorten the white fox's lifespan, but he did not care. He only cared about the Emperor's power and wealth."
"The white fox did not say anything. Instead, he pierced through the white fox's heart and took the white fox's blood essence."
"After the scholar obtained the blood essence, he saved the Emperor's life. At that time, the princess also learned of the scholar's story. She flew into a rage and demanded that the scholar kill the white fox. Otherwise, she would not allow the scholar to become the Emperor."
"The scholar did not say anything. He only put on his cold armor and returned to his humble abode."
"Do you know what the final outcome was?"
The enchanting woman slowly narrated the story. Everyone in the Mountain God Temple listened attentively.
Everyone was immersed in the story. At this point, someone could not help but ask curiously.
"What was the outcome?"
Hearing someone's question, the enchanting woman put down the branch in her hand.
Under the light of the bonfire.
Her beautiful face revealed a cold expression and there was an unconcealable rage in her eyes.
"The scholar returned to my humble abode again. He killed the white fox and skinned her. He made a piece of clothing and gave it to the princess of the dynasty."
A voice sounded.
For a moment, the Mountain God Temple was silent.
A moment later.
A voice sounded slowly.
"Amitabha."
The old monk placed his palms together. He did not know what to say.
The curly-bearded burly man drank a mouthful of wine and remained silent.
Lu Changsheng leaned against the rock and did not say anything either.
At this moment, the enchanting woman's laughter sounded again.
"Hehe, everyone, after hearing this story, do you think humans are evil or demons are scary?"
She said with a smile.
However, the Mountain God Temple fell into absolute silence.
Other than the beggar's light snores, there were no other sounds.
"What happened after that?"
Lu Changsheng asked calmly.
