Chapter 168 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 18

Leaning against the tree trunk, staring blankly into the distance, his mind a jumbled mess, completely unable to make sense of it all.

Just then, a white figure slowly floated out from the tree trunk.

"Brother Yanshuo!" A clear and familiar voice called out to him.

He suddenly raised his head, a surprised smile instantly spreading across his face, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.

"Jingjing! Is it really you? You've finally come out to see me!"

Bai Jingjing's soul floated lightly in the air, her beautiful face still as gentle and moving as ever.

"Thanks to my brother for placing me in this place with the richest spiritual energy, I can fully absorb the essence of spiritual energy between heaven and earth every day. After a long period of accumulation and cultivation, I am now able to transform into such a faint wisp of soul to meet you."

"Jingjing, just hold on a little longer. I have found a little fox that is a once-in-a-millennium find, but it is not the right time to marry her demon essence yet. When the time is right, I will definitely take her demon essence to revive you."

Bai Jingjing stepped forward and tried to hug him, but she missed. She stared blankly at her own hands.

Yan Shuo tried to reach out and hold her hands, but he grasped only empty air.

Bai Jingjing's eyes reddened uncontrollably, and she sobbed, "Brother, let's just forget about it. The little fox is also a living being. Marrying her demon essence to save me would only add another wronged soul to the family."

Yan Shuo immediately denied her statement, "Jingjing, her life is not as important as yours. Besides, I also transferred my cultivation to her to help her transform into human form. She is very grateful to me. Today she also said that even if I take her demon essence, she will give it to me willingly."

As a woman, Bai Jingjing naturally realized that this fox's feelings for Yan Shuo were unusual, and the gloom on her face vanished in an instant.

"If she is willing, that would be great. I don't want to harm living beings because of me."

Yan Shuo stood facing her, his eyes fixed on her. "Jingjing, you're just too kind. If you hadn't protected me during the war between immortals and demons, things wouldn't be like this now."

Bai Jingjing laughed heartlessly, comforting Yan Shuo, "Brother, don't be sad. You're the most important person to me. I can't bear to watch you die. And I know you'll find a way to save me, right!?"

Yan Shuo nodded. He owed her a life. Back then, when he was fighting a Celestial Venerable from the Immortal Realm, he didn't notice the sneak attacks from others behind him. Bai Jingjing bravely shielded him, resulting in her soul being scattered.

"Yes! No matter what it takes, even if it costs me my life, I will definitely bring you back to life."

The two sat under the tree with their knees drawn up to each other, talking intimately all night long.

We must firmly uphold our bottom line and never give that cute little fox any more special treatment or make any exceptions!

After all, it's best to maintain a proper distance between two people.

Yan Shuo did not return home that night, leaving Mu Wanwan alone in the room, fast asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight sound of a door opening reached Mu Wanwan's ears.

She was suddenly awakened from her deep sleep.

Hearing that familiar voice, she ran happily toward the door like a joyful little bird.

In the blink of an eye, she pounced on Yan Shuo, who had just entered the room, and without hesitation, leaped onto his broad and sturdy body.

Seeing this, Yan Shuo quickly reached out and steadily supported her entire body weight.

The mental defenses he had painstakingly built up after his long talk with Bai Jingjing last night crumbled completely in an instant.

"Oh dear, why are you acting like a little kid?"

Looking at Mu Wanwan, who was clinging to him tightly and refusing to let go, Yan Shuo smiled helplessly and indulgently.

At this moment, Mu Wanwan seemed not to hear anything, but used all her strength to hug the man in front of her who she longed for tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would suddenly disappear from her sight.

"Master, you haven't returned all night. Your disciple is really worried and has been concerned that something might have happened to you..."

Mu Wanwan raised her head, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Yan Shuo. Her eyes were slightly red, and the concern on her face was genuine and sincere, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

Faced with Mu Wanwan's deep affection, Yan Shuo couldn't help but feel a profound sense of guilt.

Recalling how he had stayed out all night because of his conversation with Bai Jingjing, and how this simple and kind woman had been so worried about him and unable to sleep, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Why are you so disobedient? Judging from your appearance, you must not have slept well last night, right?" Yan Shuo gently stroked Mu Wanwan's smooth hair and asked in a gentle tone.

Mu Wanwan shook her head, then suddenly nodded as if she had suddenly realized something.

Yan Shuo's expression suddenly turned serious, and he pretended to be fierce as he pinched the fleshy part of her cheek.

"You're not listening to me?"

"Master, I really slept well!"

Upon seeing this, Mu Wanwan immediately burst into tears, which streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"I was just thinking of waiting a bit, maybe you'd come back soon, and then I unknowingly fell asleep on the table."

Her voice trailed off, "Sleeping on the table counts as sleeping..."

He stroked her smooth skin, and if he hadn't seen the dark circles under her eyes, how would he have known she was lying?

The guilt buried deep in my heart resurfaced uncontrollably.

Seeing her pursed lips, looking innocent and frightened, with timid eyes, like a startled fawn, twisting her body to try to stay away.

He sighed inwardly, "Forget it, I should be less harsh with her in the future. After being harsh, I'll have to coax her myself. I'll have to pay for the sins I've committed."

"Okay! Stop crying, you won't be pretty if you keep crying."

With his words, she tried her best to hold back her tears.

She wanted to stop, but the tears were like a tap that had been turned on, and she couldn't stop them. The way she tried so hard to hold them back was quite adorable.

"I...I can't control it! Waaah~ Hiccup~"

Finally, she started hiccuping and crying, and even covering her mouth didn't stop her from doing it.

He slowly pulled her hand down, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he pursed his lips, looking somewhat impatient.

"Let me help you, okay!?"

Mu Wanwan nodded obediently; hiccups were really uncomfortable.

When her breath was taken away, she stared at him with wide eyes, feigning surprise.

"Hmm~"

He also pressed his ear against hers without any hesitation.

I knew she shouldn't have agreed; she's the one who's suffering now.

Seeing her limp in his arms, his heart melted.

Soon, the Demon Clan's grand banquet arrived, and unsurprisingly, she was notified to go with Yan Shuo.

Yan Shuo instructed someone to make her a new dress using the finest materials, and he waited patiently by his side.

These days, it seems that everyone here knows that the Demon Lord is very concerned and attentive to anything involving Mu Wanwan, so they dare not be negligent in the slightest when it comes to making clothes.

He naturally took a look at the style of the clothes first, and he liked the design very much.

However, when Mu Wanwan emerged from behind the gauze curtain in her new clothes, the teacup she was holding fell to the ground.

He stared at her intently, and those around him couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"How beautiful! There must be no woman in the Demon Realm more beautiful than Miss Wanwan!"

The words of the others brought Yan Shuo back to his senses. He coughed lightly and waved to the people next to him.

"Everyone, get out first!"

Mu Wanwan pouted and looked down at her clothes. There was nothing wrong with them, but why did the man in front of her have a dark face and look unhappy?

"Master, I'm going to change into something else!"

Maybe he really doesn't look good! Otherwise, why would his face look so sour?
