The Strongest Fox-Demon (16)

Zhuang Liu simply could not suppress this inexplicable feeling from the bottom of her heart. Before long, she recalled how she picked up the exquisite hairpin and how her son had picked up a piece of gold from the ground. Further considering the two obedient foxes, did it not seem like their household had been blessed by the heavens? Surely, this must have been the case as only such things can explain their series of good fortune!
Thinking about all these good things happening to their family, she could not help but let out a flowery smile. Inadvertently noticing her expression, Bai Yi shunned her face away in disdain.
“Are all humans that strange? Nothing good comes from interacting with them.”
Chu Xiang chuckled, “How many people have you met so far? In that case, I suggest you go out and experience more about the world. What’s the point of staying cooped up here? It’s not like you need to stay with your benefactor at all times to repay his kindness.”

“But if I don’t stay here with him, how will I know when he finds himself in trouble? How will I protect him?”
“Why don’t you give him a protective talisman? How about the Hexagram of Good and Evil? If you take the time to think about it, aren’t there a lot of things you can do to help him?”
Bai Yi stared at her blankly.
“A protective talisman? The Hexagram of Good and Evil? That’s right, why didn’t I think of that?”
“Your mind has been stuffed full of the bittersweet emotions left behind by your ancestors. Surely, you don’t think that’s all there is to the interactions between fox spirits and humans, right? These only include their personal tragic stories. In fact, there are plenty of other mundane stories left untold. If you don’t want to end up like your ancestors, you better not walk down the same road they did.”

Slowly sussing out Bai Yi’s way of thinking, Chu Xiang could now confirm that she wasn’t simply a romanticist, but rather that she did not understand enough about the world. After all, how could one fully understand the things they have never experienced before in person? At the end of the day, they would need to spend some time doing such things themselves. Only after making mistakes and learning from their own experiences can one truly understand the world around them. The world is filled with countless imbeciles and fools — both humans and demons alike. But whenever it comes to topics dealing with both humans and demons, it always ends up being a tragic tale.
Bai Yi stared pensively at Zhuang Yulang through the window, thinking carefully about Chu Xiang’s words. Having thought things through, she could certainly do things with her own abilities to not need to be by her benefactor’s side at all times. Even so, she did not find it troublesome since she was a cultivator. But as Li Yufeng said previously, she was still a demon. If that fact was exposed, it would undoubtedly stir up trouble and even get her benefactor involved. Thus, she should refrain from sticking close to him.
All in all, Bai Yi was like a blank piece of paper. What would become of it solely depended on all her experiences up till now. Not only was she lucky to have Chu Xiang by her side, but even her encounter with Li Yufeng appeared as a kind of fortune. Their existence in her life portrayed the right lines on the paper, urging her to stay rational and keeping her on the right track.
Whenever Bai Yi came across something she has trouble understanding, she would always try to calm herself down first. And at the moment, getting revenge on those demon cultivators was her current best method of calming down.
After making sure that both the mother and son had fallen asleep, Bai Yi impatiently urged Chu Xiang to head out in the middle of the night.

“Let’s quickly consume the Silver Carp and fully recover our cultivation.”
At that moment, Chu Xiang tossed out a few pebbles, forming a divinatory diagram. While doing so, she said, “Be patient. We need to find the prime location and make sure that no one disturbs us in the process of recovering.”
“What’s the location?” Bai Yi asked as she moved closer to take a closer look at the image.
Chu Xiang squinted her eyes and replied, “The diagram shows that… the prime location is at Chengxi.”

“Chengxi? Doesn’t that strange demon hunter live in Chengxi? He even seems to still be thinking about our Silver Carp. That’s right, he’s still a demon hunter regardless. Wouldn’t he take the opportunity while we’re injured to mount a sneak attack on us? If we suffer any further injuries, it would be extremely difficult to make a full recovery,” Bai Yi said worryingly. After all, she never really got along well with Li Yufeng. Furthermore, her natural instincts tell her to stay away from demon hunters.
Staring at the divinatory diagram, Chu Xiang muttered to herself, “For us to keep having such links, it must be the work of fate.”
The biggest fear among all cultivators is the defiance of the natural order. Every living being in this world has its own karma. Any attempt to sail against the currents may perhaps also be one’s arranged fate. Thus, the one thing that cultivators must not overlook is anything seemingly set up by fate. Whether it may be a fortunate or ill-fated encounter, they are all events that are bound to happen. As such, this Li Yufeng may perhaps be someone that they were also destined to meet. However, be it a good or bad encounter, only time can tell.
Fearless, Chu Xiang decided on the spot.
“Let’s go look for the building with a red rooftop and see whether it truly is the prime location. If it is… then we’ll just have to ask the demon hunter for his protection!”
