Sheng Xiaoâs eyes lit up when he saw that Yu Huang was really here. âYouâre finally awake.â
Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiaoâs 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.
âIâm going to see Godmother. Do you want to accompany me?â
Sheng Xiao nodded immediately. âOkay.â
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 Huangâs 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 couldnât help but stare at Yu Huangâs slender waist under her halter top. Just as his gaze became lecherous, Sheng Xiao and She Ying glanced at him coldly.
The Pixiu Demon didnât dare to anger She Ying. He looked away. The head in the middle said to the Pixiu Demon, âI believe that my Lord has awakened. She Ying, consider what I said.â Then, the Pixiu Demon said to Sheng Xiao, âYou look familiar.â
Sheng Xiao didnât 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. âI remember now. Youâre the boy who injured the beauty last time!â
Sheng Xiaoâs lips twitched when he heard the word âbeautyâ. He said, âWeâre schoolmates. That was just a scheme to deal with you.â
âSo, youâre actually friends?â
Sheng Xiao didnât refute the Pixiu Demon.
The image of Donor in a dress flashed across the Pixiu Demonâs 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, âI want to be friends with the little beauty.â
Sheng Xiao said mercilessly, âHe only befriends good-looking people.â
The Pixiu Demon was offended.
âHeh, you hypocritical Beast Tamers donât understand the good side of us demon beasts!â The head on the right side of the Pixiu Demon said musically, âAlthough Iâm ugly, my heart is kind. If I love someone, itâs foreverâ¦â
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he sounded. She Ying couldnât stand it anymore. She glared at the Pixiu Demon. âGet lost, you smell. Donât stink up my Fox Cave!â
âIâll leave now!â Before the Pixiu Demon left, he didnât forget to ask Sheng Xiao, âDo you have his WeChat? I snatched a phone from a human Beast Tamer a few days ago. I heard that you donât need to be literate to make friends on WeChat. Give me the little beautyâs WeChatâ¦â
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 grass 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 passing 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, âIâm not like that illiterate Pixiu Demon. I can read and surf the internet.â
Yu Huang was amused by She Ying. âI know. Senior is very powerful.â
She Ying had lived in human society for hundreds of years. She looked like she had completely assimilated with humans. The Pixiu Demon and the others had never left the primitive forest. It was normal for them not to know anything.
âHowâs Godfatherâs recovery?â This was Yu Huangâs motive for coming this time.
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on She Yingâs face when she heard this. She blinked at Yu Huang and said mysteriously, âThereâs a surprise waiting for you.â
âWhat is it?â Yu Huangâs curiosity was piqued by She Ying.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFollow me.â 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 foxâs posture was exactly the same as the last time Yu Huang saw it, but black and shiny fox fur had grown out of the foxâs charred body!
She Ying held Yu Huangâs hand and placed it on the foxâs abdomen. She said, âFeel it carefully.â
Yu Huang closed her eyes and sensed carefully. She actually discovered that there was something beating in Mo Xiaoâs abdomen!
It was his heart!
âGodfatherâs heart is beating again?â Yu Huang was overjoyed. âThis is great.â Only a month had passed, but Mo Xiaoâs broken heart had already regained its vitality. Presumably, it wouldnât be long before he could be revived.
âThatâs not all there is. Feel it carefully again.â The expression on She Yingâs 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 anticipation 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 Xiaoâs body. When they arrived at Mo Xiaoâs chest, Yu Huang acutely sensed that there was something else glowing beside Mo Xiaoâs heart. And that thing was also beating!
That wasâ¦
Yu Huangâs eyes suddenly widened as she stood up in shock and cried out, âItâs a Monster Core!â
She Ying nodded heavily. âThatâs right, itâs a Monster Core!â She Ying exerted force on Yu Huangâs hand and said excitedly, âWeâve 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.â
She Ying touched the key on her neck and murmured, âHe gave me the key to give me hope.â
Yu Huang was still a little stunned. She said, âIf thatâs the case, why did Godfatherâs half-brother use Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottles to be reborn?â
She Ying sneered. âHeâs just a dabbler. How can he compare to your Godfather?â
Yu Huang also felt that She Yingâs words made sense.
âI felt that it was very strange before. Godfather 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.â
Yu Huang gently stroked the nine-tailed foxâs smooth fur and suddenly smiled.
Godfather, was this what you meant by turning the tables through fighting to the death?
