Chapter 62: The Eunuch's Fox Pet
The emotional mist around Pei Duo was a light red, not very bright in the night.
Lin Zhi thought that at this moment Pei Duo also had the idea of ​​who was the monster and who was the human, which made him feel happy.
Lin Zhi asked hesitantly, "Can I just swallow it?"
He had never done such a thing, and neither had the original owner.
"Of course, then refining is enough."
Pei Duo handed the ball of light in his hand to the fox and watched it being absorbed.
The scenery around him changed immediately. It was no longer the prostitute's boudoir with the light on, but a cold, dark lake.
Pei Duo quickly left the water on tiptoe and reached out to catch the little fox which was a little unstable.
Lin Zhi felt like he had swallowed a ball of icy mist, freezing his internal organs.
The strong power of his wish made his head throb with pain, and he used his luck and demonic energy to cover the fog, trying to make it his own.
Human wishes can give birth to spiritual energy. The more something is believed in, the more likely it is to materialize.
This is the case with Hang Wan'er. She was born from the story and did the same things in the story, but her spiritual power was weak and she would only appear due to the scholar's strong wish. Therefore, the boudoir she created was only a virtual existence and could not separate people from others. The sudden disappearance of those dead should have been due to the bewitching of Hang Wan'er, who unknowingly stepped into the water.
When the scholar agreed to go into the room with her, he had already stepped into the gate of hell.
Only when the protagonist appears in the story will she completely complete her life trajectory, give gold, silver and talent, and help the protagonist pass the imperial examination.
Unfortunately, all the scholars who really wanted to see her in the past few months were rejected by her in the middle of the night. When she left, the illusion she created naturally became invalid. By that time, the scholar had sunk underwater with the passage of time, and with no way to ask for help, he could only drown.
Because Hang Wan'er didn't intentionally harm anyone, nor did she eat people. She had karma but no blood. Plus, she was only attracted by the wishes of scholars, so the demon-suppressing masters couldn't find any trace of her.
I think Pei Duo saw through the key point and put forward a strong desire to attract Hang Wan'er.
Although Pei Duo was not a serious scholar, he had read a lot of books, far more than ordinary readers.
Lin Zhi concentrated his thoughts on analysis in order to disperse the side effects of absorbing spiritual energy. All the people killed by Hang Wan'er drowned. Water brings forth yin, and the coolness made him feel as if he was no longer in the hot summer but in the cold winter.
Pei Duo felt the ball of fur in his arms trembling and shook his head in his heart.
She is a fox demon who has been practicing for a hundred years. How could she be so fragile? She trembled like this after swallowing a small spirit ball. How could she eat a bigger one in the future?
Pei Duo brought Lin Zhi back to the mansion, put Lin Zhi on the bed, asked the puppet maid to guard the gate of the courtyard, and went to the Demon Suppression Bureau to close the case of Hang Wan'er.
Lin Zhi lay on the soft quilt, listening to 01 reporting the moving direction of Pei Duo's coordinates.
As his demonic power was absorbed, the spiritual energy was gradually converted into his use to repair his injuries.
Having mastered the trick of refining, Lin Zhi's speed became faster, and he finished digesting Hang Wan'er's spiritual energy in about a cup of tea.
If Hang Wan'er becomes powerful, has her own consciousness, and takes the initiative to kill people, I'm afraid her spiritual energy will be even stronger.
Her current level is only enough for Lin Zhi to recover from his injuries. And with a little more demonic power, she can only pick up objects through the air. Even the transformation into a human form is not enough to last for too long.
Lin Zhi: [Keep an eye on Pei Duo's position and notify me when he is about to enter this yard. 】
01: [Okay! 】
On the large bed, the little purple fox stretched out its body, looking quite lazy.
About a quarter of an hour later, 01 sounded a reminder tone.
Lin Zhi used his demonic energy to transform into the form he wanted.
As soon as Pei Duo stepped into the courtyard, he sensed a faint demonic aura.
It seems that the little fox has been almost refined, and the demonic energy is thicker than before, but it's just the difference between a little and a little more.
He did not close the door before going out. After all, the puppet was guarding the gate to the courtyard, and he had not received any instructions, so he did not have to worry about anyone approaching. Therefore, when he saw the vague figure behind the screen, a thin leaf immediately appeared between Pei Duo's fingers.
However, the leaf disappeared in an instant. Pei Duo had already realized what was happening. Thinking of the little fox in human form, Pei Duo frowned slightly and approached.
The fox-eared boy on the bed did not notice his approach. He was facing away from him, curiously tracing the long sword hanging on the wall with his fingers.
Perhaps the demonic aura is still very weak, and the human-shaped fox demon cannot retract its ears and tail very well.
The fluffy purple fox tail swayed gently in the air, and the black hair fell untied on the back.
He knelt on the bed, his white back faintly visible among his black hair. The room was filled with a faint sweet fragrance, which probably came from him and drifted to Pei Duo's side.
The dark color of the quilt made his bare feet look even whiter, and his round toes were a light pink.
His fingers touched the scabbard and made a painful sound.
Pei Duo heard the sound of him blowing on his fingers, and soon the boy turned back into a purple fox and lay on the bed.
Pei Duo did not move forward, but quietly left the bedroom.
He stood in the courtyard, his hands behind his back, staring at the moon, his light brown eyes cold and indifferent.
In the bedroom, Lin Zhi found a comfortable angle and lay down leisurely, not surprised at Pei Duo's behavior at all.
He knew that Pei Duo would not like him to transform into a human form at this stage. A fox demon pet and a young boy were different in Pei Duo's heart.
Therefore, Lin Zhi had already planned to hide in the form of a fox in the early stage, but he would not just be a fox. He wanted to use this to surrender and let Pei Duo associate his image with him at certain moments.
Therefore, he did not deliberately turn around and show his face, not only to maintain the status quo, but also to prevent Pei Duo from having too concrete content when he was associating, and to arouse Pei Duo's curiosity, although Pei Duo might not have such curiosity at all.
Keeping the fox ears and tail is also to distinguish it from humans, strengthen the association between the two images, and create a transition in Pei Duo's mind.
After a stick of incense, Pei Duo walked around the screen and entered the house.
"Is the refining done?"
Pei Duo stood beside the bed, and his shadow covered the fox on the bed.
The little fox squatted up and nodded.
"How's your recovery going?"
"My injuries have healed. I will work hard to cultivate next. However, the aura here is mixed and there is not much spiritual energy."
The atmosphere in the human world is turbid, and there is not enough spiritual energy for monsters to practice. The spiritual energy is only abundant in places where there are no people or where there are few people.
Therefore, the monsters in the human world eat humans. Besides the instinct of eating, human flesh and blood can also make them stronger.
"Since you are my demon pet, I naturally have a way to let you absorb spiritual energy."
Pei Duo smiled, and Lin Zhi fell silent after hearing the word "eat". He knew that he would have to eat some messy food next. He didn't know what kind of demons and monsters would be the lucky audience, and he didn't know if he could swallow ghosts. It seemed that demons and ghosts were not interoperable. Spiritual monsters could be refined by demons and ghosts, and they could also refine demons and ghosts. It was a kind of fairness in the rules.
Of course, as a fox demon, unlike other demons, he has another way of nourishing himself. It's a pity that Pei Duo can't do it and has no idea in that regard. If he can't do it, it would be a shame for his identity as a fox demon.
Lin Zhi smiled and sighed in her heart, but did not take the initiative to bring up this method. She thanked him, "Thank you, sir."
"But now that your injuries have healed, can you transform into a human form?"
Pei Duo spoke as if he had never seen Lin Zhi's human form, and asked casually.
Lin Zhi also pretended that he didn't see it. He had noticed that since Pei Duo came in, he never reached out to touch him once, and even kept some distance from him.
"My demonic power is not enough to transform into a human form, and I don't like the human form either. It's not very convenient. I used the human form for a while when I went to Wucheng with that abominable kingfisher. Walking on two legs is too slow and uncomfortable. It's not as good as claws."
The little fox raised its paw, showing its sharp nails, and then retracted its nails.
Pei Duo watched him lie and said "liar" in his heart, but he felt much better.
Whether she said this just to be obedient in front of him or it was really like this, it didn't matter, the same result was enough.
"It's enough for a monster to be a monster. Why bother to be a human being?"
Pei Duo leaned over and met the fox's eyes.
His voice was gentle, but his eyes were deep.
Lin Zhi nodded and said seriously: "It's so much fun to be a demon. I don't want to be a human."
There is indeed another meaning to what Lin Zhi said. When he schemes against others, he likes to act like a nobody.
Pei Duo touched the fox's head, from the tip of the ear to the side of the face, and rubbed his chin.
The little fox lay down on the bed, and made some whimpering sounds when Pei Duo touched him.
Pei Duo looked at the sword on the wall and said as if to warn: "Remember not to touch this sword. This is my master's sword. He has been with him for many years to slay demons and ghosts. He has his own temperament and is protected by the Qi. Demons and ghosts cannot touch it easily."
The little fox vaguely said that he knew, as if he was not curious about the sword at all.
If Pei Duo hadn't seen his curious look, he would have thought that he had no intention.
The careless and reckless fox had not learned his lesson and was not cautious at all, and luckily he fell into his hands.
Pei Duo thought so and pinched the fox's tail.
Lin Zhi saw the light red mist around him and sighed inwardly.
It takes time to get close to Pei Duo's heart.
There is no need to do anything earth-shattering at this time, and in fact there is no such opportunity. If someone came to assassinate him, he might block the sword to improve his favorability, but if there was a real assassination, if the other party was a human, he would not be able to get close to Pei Duo at all.
If the opponent was not a human, I'm afraid him standing beside would be a bit of a hindrance to the fight.
I still have to become stronger first, Lin Zhi thought, and then fell asleep peacefully.
The chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau is next to him. As a demon, how can he be afraid of danger? He just sleeps when he is undecided.
Pei Duo listened to Lin Zhi's increasingly even breathing and could not help but shook his head, but the red color of the mist around him deepened.
Because the little fox's calming magic was somewhat effective, Pei Duo always kept him by his side.
Gradually everyone knew that Pei Duo had a beloved purple fox that never left his side.
But Lin Zhi knew that she was like an automatic tranquilizer that worked around the clock.
If he could cast spells passively, he suspected Pei Duo might consider making it into a talisman trinket to make it more portable.
But thanks to this inseparable relationship, at least his importance to Pei Duo has skyrocketed.
As the weather grew hotter, beautiful girls from all over the country gradually came to Beijing.
