Chapter 83 There is a Demon
"Hey, let's talk this out, beautiful~"
The man immediately raised his hands, feigning fear, but his words remained incoherent.
Liu Xingxing squinted at the person hiding in the big tree. He looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Then she looked behind him with a slightly surprised expression.
"Nine-tailed fox, are you a member of the Li Yue tribe?"
The Li Yue clan are all fox demons, and this person is a nine-tailed fox, so his identity must be extraordinary, and he is very likely a member of the royal family.
The man leaned against a large tree trunk with a boneless look, smiling broadly: "Beautiful lady, you are very knowledgeable. I am from the Liyue ethnic group. My name is Yan Qifeng. May I ask what your name is?"
Liu Xingxing's expression cracked for a moment as she stared at the person in front of her in disbelief: "Wait, what did you say your name was?"
"Yan Qifeng, the 'Qi' in Qilian, the 'Feng' in blowing wind, isn't my name nice?"
Yan Qifeng proudly introduced himself.
It sounds amazing, it's fucking amazing, it's absolutely legendary!
Looking at the exceptionally handsome young man, Liu Xingxing realized why he seemed familiar; it turned out he was an old acquaintance.
However, he now seems to have become much more mature and alluring than when we first met in the secret realm.
Although he still looks like a boy, back then he looked like a young master from a noble family. Now he has nine red fox tails behind him, and his silk clothes are not worn properly, revealing half of his chest. His hair is simply tied up, with many mischievous strands left untied.
With a lazy look in his eyes and a smile on his face, he looked as if he had just been released from a brothel, without a trace of youthful vigor.
Although she knew everything, Liu Xingxing still pretended not to know and asked with some doubt, "Your surname is Yan. Are you a member of the royal family of Liyue?"
This time it was Yan Qifeng's turn to be surprised: "The beauty is truly knowledgeable, even knowing about the affairs of my demon race."
"But you're wrong, I'm not royalty~"
He wasn't from the Li-Yue ethnic group, nor was he a member of the royal family. His identity was inappropriate for him to be here; he was just going along with what she was saying.
Whether you are a member of royalty or not is irrelevant. Why are you on my territory?
Liu Xingxing knew his identity, but they tacitly kept quiet about it. What she really wanted to know was why he was there.
Were they being chased all the way here?
She remembered that Yan Qifeng should still be being hunted down and trying to return to the demon realm to clean up the traitors. His father was still imprisoned, and the demon realm was in such a mess that he still had the heart to be a villain.
Yan Qifeng stretched and turned to Liu Xingxing, resting his chin on his hand and smiling, "Sigh, it's all your fault, beautiful lady. I can't get out of this place no matter what I do, so I came to ask you for a way out."
“I ask you why you are here, don’t try to change the subject.”
The restriction that allows demons to freely enter and exit Qiwu Peak is truly useless.
"My beauty, you don't know? That really breaks my heart, doesn't it, Master~"
Liu Xingxing: ...
Wang Defa ∑(°Д°)! ! !
What did he just say?
What did he just say?!
A bold idea suddenly popped into his head: "You, you... Xiao Mo?"
Yan Qifeng responded readily: "Yes, Master has finally remembered me~"
Liu Xingxing: ...
He's dead, don't mention him.
No one expected that her little pet would have any connection with this guy. One is a cat, and the other is a fox. They are completely unrelated. How could it be him?
How could it be him?!
The reason she bought Xiao Motu in the first place was that it wouldn't turn into a human. Now she's suddenly being told that not only has it turned into a human, but it's also a familiar face!
She lost her eldest son; she lost both her son and her money!
Liu Xingxing looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.
I feel like crying, what should I do?
"How did you manage to become a parasite on it?"
Since they are different species, it's impossible for them to simply revert to their original forms; it can only be parasitism, much like possession.
However, the one with a strong soul can recover to a certain extent by devouring the original body and restoring its original form. This is generally applicable to demons whose original body has been severely injured.
However, this method is dangerous, and it is very likely that one will be able to parasitize a lesser demon for the rest of one's life and never regain one's original form. Therefore, unless driven to a desperate situation, few powerful demons would use it.
Few demons are willing to give up their original, powerful form and rebuild their original body.
Liu Xingxing remembered that Yan Qifeng in the story was not forced to such a point, actually willing to give up his own physical body to become a small cat-shaped monster.
However, he was indeed formidable, having cultivated back to his original form in just over three years. Judging from his appearance, his cultivation seemed to have improved considerably, though it must have been a recent achievement, as his soul was still somewhat unstable.
"As expected of a beauty, I do know a lot. I was indeed parasitizing it, but it had already died when I became parasitized."
"Who knew? I was caught by a few fools and sold to Yanyun Pavilion. I never expected that you, a beautiful and kind-hearted lady, would buy me back and bring me here. You are my great benefactor."
So, this is what she bought in the first place?
Liu Xingxing felt another pang of heartache. There was no Xiao Mo at all, and her wish to have a cat had been dashed once again.
After a long silence, Liu Xingxing turned around and decisively reached out her hand to him. A strand of golden thread emerged from between Yan Qifeng's eyebrows and then floated back into Liu Xingxing's hand.
Liu Xingxing put her hands behind her back and said calmly, "The contract has been dissolved. You can leave now."
Yan Qifeng tilted his head and stared straight at her, then suddenly pouted and said with a hint of grievance, "Master, are you trying to send me away?"
"You were the one who said you wanted to go out, so I'm letting you go free, which is exactly what you wanted."
Anyway, she didn't want to keep this person here. So what if she lost both her money and her person? Her small place couldn't keep such a big shot.
Yan Qifeng's fox-like eyes flickered, and he said in his usual irreverent manner, "Hmm... I suddenly realized that this place is quite nice, beautiful lady. There's food and drink, and I'm free. It would be good for me to stay. How about you sign another contract so I can turn back into Xiao Mo?"
"The contract is broken, there's no point in saying more. All I want is a pet, not a monster that can turn into a human at any time. This is the location of the Xuanshan Sect. If you, a monster, stay here, someone else will take care of you even if I don't get rid of you."
Her cat is gone, it breaks my heart!
Yan Qifeng stared at her pitifully, then suddenly jumped up and hugged her, rubbing his face against her neck.
"Please don't send me away~"
Liu Xingxing: Huh?
Holy crap, this is indecent assault! |???|!!
"I'll only say it once, let go!"
"Master~"
Holy crap! Liu Xingxing almost lost her composure for a moment, and his coquettish yet slightly trembling "Master" gave her goosebumps all over, especially when his breath touched her most vulnerable spot, making her feel both tingly and numb.
Seduction, absolutely seduction!
Liu Xingxing was so startled that she slapped him away, sending him flying. She stammered, "You...you...you..."
Yan Qifeng wasn't annoyed at all. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth that had spilled out from the slap, and smiled broadly under the moonlight.
Fox demons are most skilled at bewitching people's hearts. Liu Xingxing never expected that he, a young lord of the demon race, would do such a shameful thing just to stay. Only the lowest-ranking fox demons would use such methods to deal with others, and he actually used them. It was indeed beyond Liu Xingxing's expectations.
"You said you wanted to leave, so I set you free. And now look what's happened!"
Yan Qifeng patted his clothes, which were covered in dust, and pulled out a ribbon from somewhere to slowly tie up his loose hair. Every move he made was so leisurely and unbelievably handsome.
He smiled and said, "I only said I was going out, not leaving. My beauty, have you misunderstood?"
It seems he only told her how to get rid of him, but Liu Xingxing didn't dare keep him around any longer. Who knows when he might suddenly do something big to scare her.
Yan Qifeng still wants to stay, simply because he sees that she has no ill intentions towards him and will not kill him. He just wants to stay here to stabilize his soul, after all, she made him vomit blood with just a light palm strike.
It's uncertain whether Liu Xingxing will kill his outsiders. Qiwu Peak has abundant spiritual energy, making it perfect for recuperation. Where else can you find such a good place?
"I can keep you here, but you can forget about leaving. If you want to leave, please leave the Xuanshan Sect's territory immediately. I won't care about you once you leave the Xuanshan Sect, but if I see you here again after you leave, I will not hold back."
Although the demon race is not as wicked as the demon race, their appearance in a cultivation sect would still arouse suspicion. Humans and demons are on different paths, and there is a boundary between cultivators and demons. Their presence in a cultivator's den is clearly a transgression, and no one would say anything if they were eliminated.
Yan Qifeng's joking tone faded somewhat: "You're quite perceptive, beauty. Don't worry, I won't stay long."
"Since that's the case, you've lived here for so long and you know my rules. Apart from the spiritual plants and beasts on the mountain that you can't touch, you can do whatever you want with the rest. As for those few little ones, you'd better not show up in front of them."
I was afraid of scaring them.
