Chapter 513 Miss Hu?
The two walked for a distance, and then the tree lady stopped and remained silent.
Hu Qi took a deep breath and asked softly, "Mother-in-law, what are your instructions?"
Grandma Shu looked at Hu Qi deeply, her expression gradually turning colder. "Qi'er, do you admit your guilt?"
Hu Qi's expression changed slightly, and then his eyes dimmed. He whispered, "Qi'er knows her crime. Qi'er bears the heavy responsibility of the demon clan, but she took the risk of ascending to heaven in eight steps. It was indeed ill-considered..."
Seeing Hu Qi admit her mistake and see the situation clearly, Grandma Shu couldn't say the words of scolding she had prepared. She sighed, looked deeply at the pretty person in front of her, and a look of pity appeared on her face.
"Qi'er, you are the most talented and the most sensible, but Grandma has placed all the important tasks of the demon clan on you alone. Isn't this too unfair to you..."
Her words didn't sound like she was asking Hu Qi, but rather like she was asking herself.
Hu Qi smiled sadly and comforted her, "Mother-in-law, my demon race has always had a difficult fate. Qi'er has no regrets. It is my honor to do my best for the demon race. However, Qi'er is afraid that I will disappoint your expectations..."
A trace of relief flashed in Grandma Tree's eyes. She gently stroked Hu Qi's hair and said softly, "Qi'er, the demon race has been in decline until now, and there's nothing left to lose. Grandma is just unwilling to accept this, and still wants to see the demon race rise again before she dies. Now that you have cultivated into a seven-tailed hidden fox, you may be able to cultivate into an eight-tailed fox in this lifetime. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope and you can glimpse that glimmer of the truth..."
"Grandma, what happened in that battle eighteen years ago? Why did my demon clan suffer such a crushing defeat? Could it be that even the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was powerless to resist?"
Hu Qi bit her lips tightly, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.
The fox demon clan used to be the most powerful among the demon clans. However, after the battle at Hulao Pass eighteen years ago, the demon king Nine-tailed Sky Fox died and the fox demon clan was almost wiped out. Hu Qi could never let it go.
Grandma Tree sighed deeply and spoke slowly, "In that battle, if the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox hadn't burned itself to fight the evil... the evil enemy, the demon race would have been destroyed long ago. Not only did the Demon King perish, but even the demon race's most precious treasure, the 'Glass Heart', was lost. This caused our race to suffer heavy losses, and we haven't recovered to this day."
Hu Qi's eyes glistened with tears, and she trembled as she asked, "Does the loss of Liuli Heart mean that our clan will never rise again?"
Granny Tree shook her head, her tone firm: "No, although the Demon King is dead and the treasure is lost, our demon clan still has the inheritance of our ancestors and rising stars like you. As long as the demon clan is not destroyed, there is still hope."
"The inheritance from our ancestors. When I am promoted to the Seventh Tails, can I also receive the inheritance from our ancestors?" A hint of anticipation flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.
"Of course. Otherwise, why do you think I've suddenly become so generous and willing to let that kid go to Tiger Leaping Gorge?" A sly flicker of cunning flashed in Grandma Tree's eyes, and she chuckled softly, "Tiger Leaping Gorge is the place where our ancestors passed it down. If you're lucky, you might even find Liuli Xin's whereabouts."
"Liuli Heart..." Upon hearing this, Hu Qi's eyes lit up even brighter, and it was obvious that he was quite yearning for Liuli Heart.
"By the way, what's going on between you and that kid? I seem to sense a trace of the unique energy and blood power of a warrior from your body..." Grandma Tree narrowed her cloudy eyes and looked at Hu Qi with a chuckle.
The latter's expression froze for a moment, her cheeks slightly red, and she whispered, "Mother-in-law, at that time, I was almost out of control due to the demonic power, so I couldn't help but ask him for a little bit of his blood..."
As Hu Qi spoke, her voice gradually faded, almost inaudible. Seeing this, a flicker of understanding flashed in Grandma Shu's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile. "That kid can actually control himself? Is he not so good at that..."
In her opinion, no man in the world could control a seductress like Hu Qi, especially since Hu Qi herself took the initiative to ask for it from the other party. She didn't believe that anyone could remain calm in such a situation.
But Chen Changfan only tried it briefly, which made Grandma Shu doubt whether there was really something wrong with him.
Hu Qi was embarrassed and annoyed, and said anxiously, "Mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Maybe... maybe he is determined?"
"Maintenance starts now?"
"Mother-in-law!" Hu Qi was angry.
……
Chen Changfan, who was following Hu Ji all the way up the mountain, couldn't help but sneeze, so much so that the little fox demon couldn't help but turn his head to look at him. After his eyes wandered silently over the latter's muscular upper body, he chuckled and whispered, "Brother Chen, have you caught a cold? This mountain road is rugged, how about I help you warm up?" After speaking, a hint of cunning flashed in the little fox demon's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to put it on Chen Changfan's shoulder, but was directly avoided by Chen Changfan.
"I've already said that I don't like childish aesthetics. Hurry up and lead the way." After seeing the figure of the charming fox demon Hu Qi, Chen Changfan suddenly felt that Hu Ji was much inferior to him, and naturally remained unmoved.
Being ruthlessly rejected, Hu Ji had a gloomy face and kept leaping in the mountains and forests. Soon she reached the halfway point of the mountain, where several simple wooden houses came into view.
"You live in the room on the left. I'm on the far right. Be careful not to come and harass me at night!"
The little fox demon said something angrily and went straight to the thatched cottage on the right, leaving Chen Changfan standing there shaking his head helplessly.
"Forget it, I won't bother with this female demon. I have important things to do tomorrow, so I might as well get some rest."
As Chen Changfan spoke, he walked towards the thatched house on the far left and pushed the door open. The house was simply furnished, but there was a faint fragrance.
"Could this also be the house of some female demon?"
The natal Gu in his body was undergoing transformation and falling asleep. He was also feeling a little sleepy, so he lay down on the bed without thinking much and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Chen Changfan woke up, it was already dawn.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt something soft in his arms, as if there was a furry thing in his arms, but he didn't even notice it.
He looked closely and saw that it was a little fox, curled up and sleeping soundly.
He smiled helplessly and asked tentatively, "Miss Hu?"
The little fox's ears twitched, and it slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of hazy pupils. It snorted softly and scolded, "You big, double-faced pig's hoof, you clearly don't like the baby state, yet you still run into this girl's room to sleep, how shameless!"
This is Hu Ji's voice.
Chen Changfan chuckled and kicked him to the ground, "You little vixen, you climbed onto my bed and you're actually trying to turn the tables on me?"
The little fox cried out, fell to the ground with a plop, and when she got up again, she had regained her pretty human form. She put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed with anger, and pointed at Chen Changfan and said angrily, "You grown man, how can you be so rude! I just felt cold in the middle of the night and wanted to find a warm place. Who wants to lie down with you?"
Chen Changfan rolled his eyes at the little fox demon, clearly not believing it.
