Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Why did he suddenly...

When the little fox is angry or scared, a layer of loose hair will explode on its back, its ears will explode like dandelions, and its tail will explode like a feather duster. The whole fox is in a state of alert. She stares at Jun Zechen, her sharp little white canine teeth exposed, and bared at him.

Jun Zechen looked at her fox fur, which was fried into a mess, and frowned slightly. "If you don't want to eat it, then why did you burn yourself like this?"

There was a layer of flying dust on the white fox's fur, making it curl up. The wolf's keen sense of smell could smell a burning smell and... the smell of roasted chicken.

Jun Zechen automatically ignored the smell of roasted chicken. From a magical perspective, he criticized the fox: "You've made a mess."

Why didn’t I realize that the demon catcher was so crazy before? What does it have to do with him what the fox does?

In the past, no one cared about the fox's life or death, and no one will need to care about it in the future.

The fox sat down on the ground, sweeping its tail irritably, not caring about the dust on it. It glared at him with its fox eyes, "I'm not running away anymore. I'll kill you or chop you up as you please."

She couldn't run away either. She had used all her fox magic to escape from him twice before. This time, Jun Zechen was well prepared. Even if she used fox magic again, she couldn't do anything to him.

The days of escape were very tiring, and Hu Miaomiao wanted to take a break.

She watched the man retract his posture and stride towards her. She moved her butt, suppressing the urge to escape, and scratched the ground with her claws impatiently.

However, the man walked up to her and did not grab the fox's neck like the previous two times. Instead, he stretched out his hands, grabbed the fox's two front legs, and picked her up.

Hu Miaomiao was stunned and looked up at him.

The man's chest muscles were well-developed. Although a little hard, they were resilient and hotter than normal people's. She looked up and could see his sharp jawline. He was also looking down at her, dragging the fox's back with one hand and holding one of her little paws with the other.

The fox's paw pads were pink and white, but had been burned by high temperature. They looked like a few small pomegranate seeds, red and a little swollen.

Hu Miaomiao twitched her claws a little unnaturally when he looked at her.

He pulled it out once but it didn't come out. She groaned twice in dissatisfaction. The man pinched her flesh pads warningly. After hearing her soft gasps, he sneered: "You still feel pain?"

"Ouch!" The fox is not a fool, of course it feels pain!

Jun Zechen: "Even though it hurts, knowing there's fire on the mountain, why don't you go to the volcano?"

"Hmm~" The fox thought it was just a little hot.

Who could have imagined that it would be so hot halfway up the mountain that the fox's fur would be singed before it could all fall off.

She turned her head and instinctively licked the fur twice. Jun Zechen held her head down and said, "You're a fox, not a cat. Why are you licking fur if your tongue doesn't have barbs?"

Hu Miaomiao felt that today's demon catcher was meddling in everything and was taking the wrong medicine.

Since she had fallen into the hands of humans anyway, the fox felt bad and didn't want others to feel bad either. She raised her head and bit the wound that had just scabbed over. The rusty-tasting blood bloomed on her taste buds and flowed out from the seams of her mouth. She thought the demon catcher would be so angry that he would strangle her to death.

However, the man seemed to feel no pain, and his brows did not move. He let her bite him. He walked to the shade of the tree and sat down. He calmly crushed the crystal in his hand and placed it on her paw pad.

The cool touch came from under the claws, dispelling the burning sensation. Hu Miaomiao paused in biting and unconsciously loosened her mouth. She raised her head to look at Jun Zechen's cold face, then kicked her legs uncertainly, repeatedly confirming.

"Hmm?" Could you be so kind?

She held her paw up to her eyes and opened it to see if he had put poison between her claws.

The fox couldn't hide its emotions at all, and Jun Zechen could tell what it meant with just one glance.

He said, "Don't worry, it won't take that much effort to murder you."

Hu Miaomiao: “…”

The demon catcher, for some reason, crushed the crystal, smeared it all over her paw pads, and smoothed her fur.

Hu Miaomiao's face was disheveled in the wind, and she seriously suspected that the demon catcher had ulterior motives and wanted to trick the fox in to eat it. In the fox's suspicious gaze, the man had a stern face and looked very serious, and his movements were inconsistent with that.

He crushed something that was a treasure, but it had miraculous medicinal properties.

Hu Miaomiao asked him, and he said that he borrowed it from the deep sea. Then he looked at the Flame Mountain and said, "This place is not suitable for you to live. Let's go to another place. Sunset Mountain where I live is not bad. I have cleared out the messy monsters there."

Ever since Jun Zechen moved into Sunset Mountain, he has killed every monster that came. Now, in the mountain, apart from ordinary animals, the only strange creatures left are Hu Miaomiao, Ji Da Yao, Hong Su Yan, and the mountain ghost.

Before they knew it, it had become their home.

Hu Miaomiao shook her head like a rattle, her big furry ears swaying in the wind, and she looked alert.

Jun Zechen knew the little fox's concerns.

"Don't worry. I captured you before because I thought you were an evil fox. Now I've confirmed that you're a kind fox with clean hands. So naturally, I won't attack you again. Helping you heal this time is to make up for what I owe you."

Everything the man said made sense, but Hu Miaomiao always felt something was wrong.

No matter what, in Hu Miaomiao's current eyes, Jun Zechen doesn't look like a good person at all.

"I told you, even if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have to go to such great lengths."

He put the fox on the ground, then in front of the fox, he took out a handkerchief from his clothes, wiped his hands, and left her behind.

Hu Miaomiao stood on tiptoe, and the ahoge in the middle of her head stood up to form a question mark.

No, what does he mean?

Why does the disgusted fox want to be touched?

After the people had gone far away, the little fox limped back, grabbed the forgotten chicken's neck, and walked very slowly, returning to Sunset Mountain at dawn.

During this time, Jun Zechen's words kept repeating in her mind.

Why did he suddenly change his opinion?

Hu Miaomiao didn't understand. After running around for so long, she fell asleep on the bed and was woken up by the hysterical screams of the chicken demon in the morning.

"Cluck! The chicken claws are broken! They're cooked! They can't be used!"

Hu Miaomiao lay at the door, sniffed, and added: "It's ready to eat."

The Chicken Demon was paralyzed in the chicken coop, heartbroken and said, "Fox Ancestor, you are still here making sarcastic remarks. My chicken claws are useless!"

It raised its chicken claws for Hu Miaomiao to see.

Hu Miaomiao looked hungry.

Her stomach growled.

But because her friend was in danger, she coughed lightly and said, "You're a demon, how could you be cooked in one burn? Besides, I carried you in my mouth for the rest of the journey."

When the word "bite" was mentioned, the chicken demon's neck felt a dull pain. It suspected that the fox ancestor had wanted to kill it yesterday. This morning, there were two tooth marks on its neck, which would not disappear in a few days.

"By the way, ancestor, how come your fox claws are okay?"

They were both walking on fire, but Hu Miaomiao ran longer than it, yet it seemed like nothing had happened.

Hu Miaomiao: "Your chicken feet are easy to cook. Otherwise, why do humans often eat chicken feet but not fox paws?"

The Chicken Demon said, "Ancestor Fox is right. Give me two more days to recover. I will definitely find a good place for you in a few days."

"No, let's not move yet."

Since Jun Zechen said so, Hu Miaomiao wanted to see what tricks Jun Zechen was going to play.

What worries her more right now is the fox fur.

Burnt!

It's all burnt!

She returned to the fox cave worriedly, took out the hair growth medicine given by the avian veterinarian, and opened the cork.

There was a light herbal fragrance, refreshing and nice. There was a transparent liquid inside. Hu Miaomiao followed the method prescribed by the avian veterinarian and poured the liquid onto the roots of the hair. She gently rubbed it with her fingertips to allow the roots to absorb it.

Besides that, I don't know if it will work on burnt capillaries.

The curly hair cannot be saved.

She needs help to cut off the tips of the curly hair so that new hair can grow.

So the question is, who should we look for?

Of the few people she knew, only the demon catcher could understand fox talk.

She must have lost her mind to be so rude.

no way!

Half an hour later, a little curly-haired fox, wagging its tail, sneaked out of the fox hole and jumped up and down in Sunset Village.

She jumped around aimlessly, but when she looked up, she finally saw a familiar figure.

He always appeared beside her like a ghost when she suddenly looked back.

The fox squatted cross-legged and tilted its head: "Awooo?" He changed his mind again this time. Do you want to catch the fox?

Jun Zechen was still dressed in black, with the silver bells on his waist jingling. He was holding an oil-paper bag and raised it to her.

"You came to Sunset Hill. I bought a new roast chicken and originally planned to give it to a friend. Now that my friend is not here, I'd like to trouble you to help me eat it."

The drug was given!

Hu Miaomiao squeaked and gestured with her fox paws, indicating that she was not the kind of fox that was easily deceived.

Many times, foxes are very smart.

Unexpectedly, Jun Zechen's expression changed so quickly that he immediately asked, "Do you want to drink the toast or the penalty drink?"

The man looked fierce to begin with, and when he narrowed his eyes, the fox was frightened so much that he hugged his head on the spot. The blue fox eyes looked at him through the gaps between its claws, trembling: "Woo~" Toast, toast, toast quickly, let the fox get drunk!

Jun Zechen's expression softened and he waved to her.

The fox was unhappy with his behavior of greeting kittens and puppies, but then she thought, she was a fox.

Then it's okay.

She came up to him with her tail between her legs. He found a random rock to sit on, patted his knees, and said, "Come sit on it."

Hu Miaomiao: “…”

With a reluctant look on her fox face, she raised her front paws and hung them on his knees. She patted him and signaled that he could give her the roast chicken.

Unexpectedly, the man did not give it to her directly. His slender fingers slowly lifted the oil paper, and the aroma of roast chicken came to her face. It should be bought from a human store. The crispy skin was fried to golden brown, and under the rolling skin was tender and soft meat that was juicy and steaming.

Originally, she just wanted to do it for the sake of showing her affection, but when she smelled the roast chicken, Hu Miaomiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She raised her eyes and continued to poke him with her claws, asking him to give her the roast chicken quickly.

"Don't be impatient." Jun Zechen tore open a chicken wing and handed it to her mouth, "Do you need me to test the poison?"

That's not necessary. The fox was growling with hunger and had been gnawing on fruits all day. It hadn't been fed for a long time. Although it didn't know what evil plan the demon catcher had, it would deal with it later.

Hu Miaomiao no longer hesitated and simply ate from his hand.

She ate quickly but very gracefully, taking small bites, her cheeks slightly puffed up, her eyes comfortably squinted, and her furry ears trembling with the chewing movements.

"Awoo? (Chew chew chew)" Why are you suddenly so nice to the fox?

Jun Zechen lowered his head and looked at her, the darkness in his eyes made Hu Miaomiao unable to understand.

Hu Miaomiao felt bored. After he finished eating, he licked his lips and tilted his head: "Woo-ah?" Can you help me cut my hair?

She thought of the day when he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and changed the subject: "If you dislike foxes, forget it."

Hu Miaomiao remembered that Jun Zechen, the stinky male, was full of resentment towards the fox, so asking him not to kill the fox was already a kindness.

She thought, she should be the first fox to survive from his hands?

"come over!"

Jun Zechen didn't say much. He lifted the fox's belly with his big hands, held her back in his arms, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

His thick eyelashes fell back and he stared at the fox in his arms.

Just like wolves are bloodthirsty by nature, the demons have natural enemies that cannot be overcome.

They are born into the wolf clan and hate the fox clan.

Countless foxes have died at his hands.

Jun Zechen would never have imagined that one day he would hold a fox in his hands and trim its hair.

He didn't use any magic power.

Because as long as he uses the power of the wolf clan, Hu Miaomiao will immediately discover his identity.

He used human scissors to cut off Hu Miaomiao's curly hair bit by bit.

She also lay quietly in his arms, her eyes rolling around, shaking her ears from time to time, or yawning gracefully.

As I was drowsy, I vaguely heard the man say okay.

She mumbled "OK" and then opened her eyes quickly.

She seemed to be using human language just now, and her voice was exactly the same as when she was in human form.

She looked up uncertainly, but the man pretended not to hear her and patted her hind legs. "Lift it up, it's not cut cleanly."

Hu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't hear it clearly.

--

The fox's fur was shorter, but after cutting it, it became a clean and tidy steamed bun fox again. Hu Miaomiao went home satisfied and used hair growth medicine to nourish its fur.

However, after using up a bottle of hair growth potion, her hair did not grow but fell out, and sometimes the base of her tail would ache slightly. She went to see the avian veterinarian again, but he had a shiny head.

Hu Miaomiao: "Avian veterinarian? What's wrong with your hair?"

The avian veterinarian's face was full of complexities. "Don't mention it, but you know that demon catcher, right? I heard he's very familiar with you."

Hu Miaomiao: "Actually, not that familiar."

The veterinarian said in agony: "Let's not talk about anything else. I don't know what the hell that demon hunter did to me. He cut off my hair. Now I can't put it back on."

Hu Miaomiao exclaimed, "Don't you have hair growth medicine? Why don't you use it? Don't you want to use it?"

Poultry veterinarian: “…”

Hu Miaomiao: "The hair growth medicine I got from you last time didn't work. You have to study it carefully. Hair is a big deal. It won't look good without it."

Poultry veterinarian: “…”

Is that why you only sent two eggs?

If hair growth medicine doesn't work, then we have to use special methods. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. The little fox only remembers eating and not beating, and he meets the demon catcher in the mountains again.

I ate the egg custard he fed me without asking him where the eggs came from.

She talked about her troubles of the past few days: "Awoo? (chew chew chew)" You Su (chew), why did the fox become bald for no reason?

"Ah?" Do other monsters have the trouble of baldness?

"Oh!" I am an ugly fox!

Bald? Ugly?

Jun Zechen finally came back to his senses from his trance and stared at her fluffy tail and her hair that looked like steamed buns. After a long while, he slowly said, "It has more hair than a red wolf. Where is the bald spot?"

Hu Miaomiao sighed and wagged her tail with her back to him. "It's the base of the tail. If you don't believe me, take a look."

Jun Zechen's eyes flickered, and he turned away, "You foxes are really..."

He paused, "Open."

Hu Miaomiao disagreed, "What's the big deal? I'm a demon, you're a human, we're of different races, I don't think of you as a male at all."

Jun Zechen: “!?”

"Hu...vixen, I think you deserve to be punished."

"Aoaowu——" You're fine, why are you so fierce? The fox doesn't want to play with you anymore——

Hu Miaomiao was startled by his sudden cold voice and ran away with her tail between her legs, leaving the man standing there with an ugly look on his face.

Hu Miaomiao was bullied and decided to have a cold war with humans for a day. A day later, he squatted on a big rock and waited to be fed.

However, the man did not come, and instead she met Hong Suyan.

Hong Suyan didn't expect to see a nasty fox while patrolling in the mountains.

He shouted, "Monster, where are you running to!"

Hu Miaomiao looked at him in confusion and muttered in her heart, "You're crazy, aren't you a monster too?"

She had become acquainted with the red dog in her human form, and she didn't even think of admiring the dog. Unexpectedly, the dog opened its bloody mouth and bit her tail.

Hu Miaomiao: “!!!”

It hurts so much!

This dog is crazy!

Hong Suyan didn't care about all that. He remembered the little fox and the grudge he had suffered in Nianhua Tower last time.

But he had been taken away by the wolf king before, so he had no chance to deal with the fox. This time, Hu Miaomiao found it, and he didn't need to get any information from the little fox. He had to teach this fox a lesson.

He bit the fox's tail. The little fox was in so much pain that tears came to its eyes and it turned around to bite back.

Unfortunately, wolf fur is harder than fox fur and pricks the mouth. Her teeth are small and sharp, so she is no match for Hong Suyan.

"Ouch!" Look at me.

The red dog took a subconscious look and bumped into a pair of blue pupils, like a vast ocean. If he stared at them for a little longer, he would drown in them.

He loosened his grip, and the little fox ran away skillfully without saying a word.

Hong Suyan also realized that he had fallen into a trap. He howled angrily and chased after him.

Both of them were extremely familiar with the situation in the mountains, and they were both in the original form of demons, so they ran very fast. Unfortunately, Hu Miaomiao's body was far inferior to that of the wolf demon general. As the distance was getting closer and closer, and he was about to be caught up, Hu Miaomiao suddenly saw an extra person in front of him.

Her eyes lit up, she greased her feet and shot forward.

Hong Suyan's eyes lit up as he shouted, "Boss, quickly catch that fox! If I don't catch her today and make her my snack... huh? Walking into a trap?"

He watched the fox bump into the wolf king's leg, then climb up the leg and onto the wolf king's shoulder, howling in pain and wiping his tears with his paws.
