Sheng Xiao’s eyes lit up when he saw that Yu Huang was really here. “You’re finally awake.”
Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiao’s good figure a few more times. She saw that the marks she left on Sheng Xiao last time had disappeared. She thought to herself that she should leave more of them next time.
“I’m going to see G.o.dmother. Do you want to accompany me?”
Sheng Xiao nodded immediately. “Okay.”
Sheng Xiao changed into a shirt and pants. He went down the mountain with Yu Huang and went straight to the primitive forest. Just like last time, as soon as they approached the primitive forest, they heard a deafening beast roar. It was only when She Ying sensed Yu Huang’s aura and gave an order to the beasts that the forest returned to normal.
Yu Huang pulled Sheng Xiao to the Fox Cave as quickly as possible. When they arrived, the ugly three-headed Pixiu Demon was there too. When he saw Yu Huang, he couldn’t help but stare at Yu Huang’s slender waist under her halter top. Just as his gaze became lecherous, Sheng Xiao and She Ying glanced at him coldly.
The Pixiu Demon didn’t dare to anger She Ying. He looked away. The head in the middle said to the Pixiu Demon, “I believe that my Lord has awakened. She Ying, consider what I said.” Then, the Pixiu Demon said to Sheng Xiao, “You look familiar.”
Sheng Xiao didn’t dare to tell the Pixiu Demon that he had worked with Donor to deceive the Pixiu Demon last time. However, the Pixiu Demon recognized him. “I remember now. You’re the boy who injured the beauty last time!”
Sheng Xiao’s lips twitched when he heard the word ‘beauty’. He said, “We’re schoolmates. That was just a scheme to deal with you.”
“So, you’re actually friends?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t refute the Pixiu Demon.
The image of Donor in a dress flashed across the Pixiu Demon’s mind, then he thought of the holy appearance of the angel he summoned that night, and his heart immediately itched. Donor was totally out of his league.
The Pixiu Demon said to Sheng Xiao, “I want to be friends with the little beauty.”
Sheng Xiao said mercilessly, “He only befriends good-looking people.”
The Pixiu Demon was offended.
“Heh, you hypocritical Beast Tamers don’t understand the good side of us demon beasts!” The head on the right side of the Pixiu Demon said musically, “Although I’m ugly, my heart is kind. If I love someone, it’s forever…”
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he sounded. She Ying couldn’t stand it anymore. She glared at the Pixiu Demon. “Get lost, you smell. Don’t stink up my Fox Cave!”
“I’ll leave now!” Before the Pixiu Demon left, he didn’t forget to ask Sheng Xiao, “Do you have his WeChat? I s.n.a.t.c.hed a phone from a human Beast Tamer a few days ago. I heard that you don’t need to be literate to make friends on WeChat. Give me the little beauty’s WeChat…”
Sheng Xiao turned around and left with She Ying.
After the Pixiu Demon left, She Ying left Sheng Xiao outside the barrier as usual and brought Yu Huang into the Fox Cave.
The moment Yu Huang entered the Fox Cave, she discovered that all the weeds in the Fox Cave had been moved away. Now, the gra.s.s in the Fox Cave was filled with sunflowers. The flowers had yet to bloom, but Yu Huang could imagine how bright they would be when they fully bloomed.
After pa.s.sing through the sunflower field and entering the Fox Cave, Yu Huang discovered that the cave was clean and bright. She Ying added a table, a dressing table, and a computer into the cave. She Ying pointed at the computer and said to Yu Huang, “I’m not like that illiterate Pixiu Demon. I can read and surf the internet.”
Yu Huang was amused by She Ying. “I know. Senior is very powerful.”
She Ying had lived in human society for hundreds of years. She looked like she had completely a.s.similated with humans. The Pixiu Demon and the others had never left the primitive forest. It was normal for them not to know anything.
“How’s G.o.dfather’s recovery?” This was Yu Huang’s motive for coming this time.
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on She Ying’s face when she heard this. She blinked at Yu Huang and said mysteriously, “There’s a surprise waiting for you.”
“What is it?” Yu Huang’s curiosity was piqued by She Ying.
“Follow me.” She Ying brought Yu Huang into the bedroom in the cave abode. The light in the bedroom was much dimmer, and only the moonlight stone on the wall was shining.
Yu Huang walked into the bedroom and saw a charred fox lying on a bed. The fox’s posture was exactly the same as the last time Yu Huang saw it, but black and shiny fox fur had grown out of the fox’s charred body!
She Ying held Yu Huang’s hand and placed it on the fox’s abdomen. She said, “Feel it carefully.”
Yu Huang closed her eyes and sensed carefully. She actually discovered that there was something beating in Mo Xiao’s abdomen!
It was his heart!
“G.o.dfather’s heart is beating again?” Yu Huang was overjoyed. “This is great.” Only a month had pa.s.sed, but Mo Xiao’s broken heart had already regained its vitality. Presumably, it wouldn’t be long before he could be revived.
“That’s not all there is. Feel it carefully again.” The expression on She Ying’s face became more and more unfathomable, as if there was an even greater surprise and she was waiting for Yu Huang to unravel the mystery herself.
Yu Huang calmed down again with antic.i.p.ation and curiosity and carefully sensed it.
She separated her psychic power strand by strand. Her psychic power spread out its tentacles and gently shuttled through the bloodline in Mo Xiao’s body. When they arrived at Mo Xiao’s chest, Yu Huang acutely sensed that there was something else glowing beside Mo Xiao’s heart. And that thing was also beating!
That was…
Yu Huang’s eyes suddenly widened as she stood up in shock and cried out, “It’s a Monster Core!”
She Ying nodded heavily. “That’s right, it’s a Monster Core!” She Ying exerted force on Yu Huang’s hand and said excitedly, “We’ve all made a mistake. A real psychic divine fox can be reborn without a high-level Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottle! I even suspect that the little fox had long predicted this possibility, so he asked you to give me the cave abode key.”
She Ying touched the key on her neck and murmured, “He gave me the key to give me hope.”
Yu Huang was still a little stunned. She said, “If that’s the case, why did G.o.dfather’s half-brother use Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottles to be reborn?”
She Ying sneered. “He’s just a dabbler. How can he compare to your G.o.dfather?”
Yu Huang also felt that She Ying’s words made sense.
“I felt that it was very strange before. G.o.dfather had clearly taken out the Monster Core in advance and stored it in the high-level Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottle, but he could still use demonic power and summon the soul of a divine beast. Now that I think about it, perhaps when he dug out the first Monster Core, the second Monster Core was born automatically.”
Yu Huang gently stroked the nine-tailed fox’s smooth fur and suddenly smiled.
G.o.dfather, was this what you meant by turning the tables through fighting to the death?
