Chapter 66: The Eunuch's Fox Pet
Lin Zhi did not get closer, and even took Taozhi away and watched from a hidden place.
He had Pei Duo's jade-carved talisman on him, so he was not too worried about being discovered.
He originally just felt the Peach Blossom Demon's sensitivity to the branches, so he wanted to observe it. After all, this was his alternative prey. Lin Zhi wanted to check out the situation and find out the other party's situation before considering whether to take action or how to do it.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, he saw the scene of the monk capturing the demon. As the monk chanted, a light golden light wrapped around the trunk of the peach tree like a chain.
The ground shook slightly, making people feel that the peach tree seemed to want to step out of the ground and escape. The crown of the peach tree shook violently, as if blown by a strong wind, but there was no wind now.
A light pink evil aura filled the air, and the sound of the monks chanting became faster and faster.
They seemed to be stuck in a stalemate of fighting. The monk opened his eyes and hit the trunk of the peach tree with his staff.
Petals rained down from the sky, giving off a weird and strange feeling.
These petals were like needles, falling towards the monk. The monk's robes danced with his movements, and the clothes collided with the petals, making a sound like swords clashing.
At this time, a woman jumped out of the tree and ran towards the north.
The monk immediately chased forward, Lin Zhi followed him and took a few steps, then heard 01's voice.
01: [Host, the person is not over there, you went to the wrong place! 】
Lin Zhi was slightly startled and immediately went in the opposite direction.
It's not that he trusts 01 more than himself, but in this situation, he might be blinded by the illusion, but 01 wouldn't.
Lin Zhi transformed into a human form, holding a peach branch in one hand and activating his demonic power with the other, and soon found the loophole.
The fox tribe has an extraordinary talent in illusion. Lin Zhi's eyes glowed with a dark light, and he pinched the magic formula and said, "Break it."
The light red mist suddenly dispersed, and Lin Zhi saw the peach blossom demon running away and followed behind her.
If it was the Peach Blossom Demon in her prime, Lin Zhi would not act rashly, but the Peach Blossom Demon had obviously been injured by the monk who had just come to capture her, and was in very bad condition.
While fleeing, the Peach Blossom Demon's figure became more and more transparent. It was obvious that it was holding on, but it never disappeared.
The disadvantage of this kind of monster that is cultivated from plants is that the main body cannot move easily. The peach blossom monster ran away, but her main body remained in the same place. After the monk broke the illusion, he would definitely go to her original body and try to find her.
But plant-based fairies also have their advantages. As long as there are flower seeds left or as long as they can absorb vitality from the ground, there is a chance of regeneration even if the surface becomes a dead tree. Even if it takes a long time, it is better than no chance at all.
When they ran deep into the mountains, the Peach Blossom Demon suddenly turned around and shouted, "Come out."
Lin Zhi felt the peach branch in his hand was burning hot, and no longer concealed his whereabouts, and appeared in front of the Peach Blossom Demon.
"fox?"
The Peach Blossom Demon smelled Lin Zhi's scent and was obviously a little surprised, with her expression switching between surprise and vigilance.
"Although I don't know how you got my peach branch, at least we are both demons. There is a monk chasing me. If you can help me, I will repay your kindness."
"What if I say no?"
Lin Zhi stretched out his left hand, and his slender white fingers turned into sharp claws.
"You want to eat me?" The peach blossom demon was anxious and angry, with a gloomy look on her pretty face. "You may not be able to defeat me. The monk will catch up with us soon. If you insist on fighting with me, no one can escape!"
Seeing that the fox demon was unmoved, the strong wind brought by the demonic energy blew up the peach blossom demon's robe, and she hurriedly said: "Even if you swallow me now, we may both suffer losses. Besides, refining is also risky. I have dozens of contract holders, and I can let them give you the man's heart."
The Peach Blossom Demon naturally thought that the fox demon would be tempted when hearing this. On one hand, there is the risk of swallowing a demon, and on the other hand, there is an endless supply of human flesh. Everyone knows that she should choose the latter. Besides, doesn't the fox demon love to eat men's hearts the most?
The fox demon she knew a hundred years ago liked to be affectionate with human men, sucking their essence and then eating their hearts. However, the fox died in the massive fox-killing order. In order to avoid being eliminated by the heavenly masters, the Peach Blossom Demon hid herself and lived peacefully for a long time.
The peach blossom forest was her carefully selected habitat, far away from the temples and Taoist temples in the capital. There was also a Yue Lao Temple next to it that used the red energy of marriage to cover her up. She was also extremely careful when absorbing human blood essence. Who knew that she would be discovered by a monk. She fought with him for several hours and finally ran away, but she met a fox who wanted to eat her. She was so unlucky.
“I’m not interested in human hearts.”
Before Lin Zhi finished her words, she attacked the Peach Blossom Demon.
Lin Zhi had no plan to swallow the Peach Blossom Demon now. What was happening with Zheng Jialing was still unclear. Lin Zhi wanted to bring the Peach Blossom Demon back to Pei Duo, and then swallow the Peach Blossom Demon after Pei Duo had asked about the situation.
The Peach Blossom Demon dodged in a hurry, but there were still bloody marks on his shoulder from the claws. When he suddenly met those purple eyes, he was dazed for a moment.
At this moment, she even forgot that she was in danger. All her attention was focused on these beautiful eyes. She even had a strong desire to obey whatever this person said.
When this thought appeared in Peach Blossom Demon's mind, her frightened eyes instantly cleared up, but the fox demon's hand was already within reach.
Although he still looked like a human, the hand that was pinching her neck was a sharp fox claw.
The handsome boy had a faint smile on his face in the moonlight, but beneath the beauty's skin was a monster.
The fox clan's charm is indeed effective. Lin Zhi just listened to the Peach Blossom Demon saying those words only to prepare for activating the magic.
"Don't eat me!" The peach blossom demon begged for mercy in panic. She didn't want to die here today, so she said quickly, "I am willing to be your servant and obey your orders from now on. This is definitely more cost-effective than you eating me directly. I can do anything for you, even serve you in bed."
When Lin Zhi heard the last sentence, he was confused. Is this the reputation of the fox demon now?
"I don't like women."
Lin Zhi refused very straightforwardly to prevent the Peach Blossom Demon from saying in front of Pei Duo that she could serve him after being taken back by him, as this would surely crush her to pieces by Pei Duo.
After hearing this, the peach blossom demon was not discouraged. Instead, her eyes lit up and she said, "I can be a man too!"
As a peach tree, he has no gender.
Almost instantly, the peach blossom demon changed from a delicate woman into a handsome man.
Not only 01 was silent, but Lin Zhi was also silent.
Lin Zhi began to think about whether to take the Peach Blossom Demon back, thinking that he might be more than just crushed.
Lin Zhi thought for a moment, keenly felt the cold wind behind him, and avoided the fatal blow of the sharp peach branch.
The Peach Blossom Demon had used this little time to escape from Lin Zhi's hands. The peach blossom mist filled the air and his figure disappeared.
The monsters that have become spirits are all very cunning, and Lin Zhi did not underestimate them, but he did not expect that the Peach Blossom Monster had actually accumulated strength and used sex change to distract his attention.
In the mist, Lin Zhi transformed into his original form again and tracked in a certain direction.
When he scratched the Peach Blossom Demon, he had already left his own breath on it.
The purple fox ran at night, so fast that it left an afterimage.
The mist obscured the moonlight, and the night became increasingly dark and silent.
There were unfinished chess pieces on the chessboard in the courtyard, and the young man holding the black pieces had cold eyes.
The puppet maid disappeared into the depths of the courtyard, minimizing her presence.
The east was already bright, and the morning dew wet people's clothes.
The puppet maid prepared everything, and Pei Duo got up and went into the room to wash and bathe.
He could sense that the little fox was not in danger of death, and he could also sense that he had left the capital and did not know where he had gone.
He once had the idea of going looking for her, but he suppressed it.
They had a deal in hand, so Lin Zhi wouldn't leave at will.
The fox he raised was not an ordinary fox, so he didn't have to worry about it running away and never coming back.
Pei Duo soaked in hot water, his cold eyes reflected on the water surface.
The pain came again at this time, making Pei Duo's expression become a little scary.
He habitually wanted to look for the shadow of the little fox, but as soon as he set his eyes on it, he remembered that the little fox had run away and had not returned all night.
Pei Duo endured the pain and became extremely unhappy.
He stood up from the water, and the water surface shook for a while before becoming calm again, but Pei Duo's emotions were turbulent.
He ran away to such a far place without permission, so far that he couldn't sense anything. Is the world outside so good?
Didn't he know how dangerous that was? He was just a monster with half a heart. What if he fell into the hands of another monster or an exorcist? Not to mention that there were people staring at his half heart and wanted to cut him apart.
The pain in his head that seemed to be about to explode made Pei Duo lean against the bed with a pale face, closing his eyes and enduring the pain.
He seemed to have gotten used to stroking the fox's soft fur when he felt pain, and now that the little fox was gone, he was able to have hallucinations.
Pei Duo suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of the innocent-looking purple-haired fox.
Lin Zhi immediately cast a calming spell on Pei Duo. Even though Pei Duo didn't say a word, he could sense the cold anger in Master Pei's heart. Before Pei Duo could speak, he said, "Master, I'm afraid I need to rest for a while."
After Lin Zhi finished speaking, he lay down on the bed, not giving Pei Duo any chance to teach him a lesson.
Lin Zhi had rushed back as fast as he could. Last night he chased the Peach Blossom Demon, but in the end the Peach Blossom Demon couldn't escape even if he had wings.
During the fight, the Peach Blossom Demon wanted to eat the human tonic and kill him. Lin Zhi had no time to tie him up, so he could only kill him and swallow him on the spot.
In fact, it would be safer to choose a safe place to refine and recuperate before coming back, but Lin Zhi was afraid that if he came back in a few days, Pei Duo, who couldn't find him, might become even more abnormal, making his road to redemption even more difficult, so Lin Zhi forced himself to come back.
Fortunately, with the jade given by Pei Duo, the concealment effect still remained, so he was not stopped in the capital.
Pei Duo noticed the miserable state of the little fox. Its originally soft and fluffy fur had become a little messy, and was stained with blood in several places. Even the color of its fur had become a little darker, and a pink mist surrounded its body.
Next to the fox's tail there was a piece of peach branch with dry blood-red petals on it.
"I just thought you had a promising future, but I didn't expect you to be so reckless. If I didn't keep a close eye on you, you'd end up like this."
Pei Duo didn't expect that Lin Zhi actually swallowed the Peach Blossom Demon. This was a bit strange, but he could wait until Lin Zhi woke up before asking.
The sudden headache disappeared suddenly. Pei Duo picked up the sleeping little fox and asked the maid to give him some warm water.
The pale fingers gently supported the little fox's head, and the other hand carefully combed his hair in the water.
The light pink mist rose and fell with the little fox's breathing, gradually covering the entire room.
While cleaning, Pei Duo discovered that the bell used to store the little fox had become visibly larger, almost twice the size when he first saw it.
Pei Duo's fingers accidentally brushed past it, and the soft and elastic touch made him silent for a moment.
