Chapter 86: The Eunuch's Fox Pet
Wu Yan recognized Pei Duo. Even though this was the first time they met, he had already seen Pei Duo's portrait many times.
Although he learned that the Dai Viet army was attacking the city, Wu Yan was not too panicked. After all, this was not the first time such a thing had happened in the past hundred years. But he never thought that Pei Duo was actually related to the Demon Suppression Bureau, and could unite so many heavenly masters to attack Wucheng together.
From the moment the leaf between Pei Duo's fingers flew into a monster's body, Wu Yan knew that something was wrong.
He knew that Dai Viet had a powerful eunuch named Pei Duo, and he also knew that the chief of Dai Viet's Xinzhen Demon Division had created the Ye Lu, who had extraordinary talent and high cultivation, and was the nemesis of demons and ghosts.
But he never thought that these two people were actually the same person. When he heard what Pei Duo said, a flash of inspiration flashed through Wu Yan's mind like lightning, making him figure out everything.
"It's that purple fox!"
Wu Yan was shocked and angry. This anger was not directed at Pei Duo, but at those subordinates who had deceived him.
Yunlu clearly said that the fox was a red fox, and he also sent people to the Dayue Palace to investigate the purple fox. The people who investigated reported that it was an ordinary fox.
This is nonsense. The fox was not dead and escaped to the hands of the demon-suppressing master, bewitching the chief of the demon-suppressing department and causing him to get into trouble.
Wu Yan found it ridiculous. He subconsciously pressed his chest. Now there was also half a fox heart in it. He used a secret method to prolong his life, just waiting to get the remaining half or a new fox heart. But now not only did he have no chance, he would also die.
Wu Yan was extremely anxious, his mind in a mess, and he ran towards the exit.
Wu Yan was moving very fast and had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle. It was a fact that Wucheng had been captured, and he had no reason to linger there.
A long sword was flying towards Wu Yan's legs like a stream of light. Wu Yan sensed the danger and climbed up the wall to avoid Pei Duo's sword. At the same time, he turned around and set up a barrier to confuse Pei Duo.
There were three forked roads in front of him, and Wu Yan quickly headed towards one of them.
There is wind in the secret passage, and you can hear the whistling sound when you run fast.
A hint of joy appeared on Wu Yan's face. As long as he could escape to the exit, he could head into the mountains and then escape.
Just as he was about to step into the light, he felt trapped and unable to move.
This is one of the demon-suppressing spells used by the demon-suppressor. When Wu Yan lowered his head, he realized that several glowing green leaves had appeared on his body without him noticing.
No matter what kind of talisman it is, it needs someone to use spiritual power to activate it in order to be effective.
Wu Yan's face was stiff. He didn't need to look back to know that someone was coming from behind.
The footsteps were neither light nor heavy, yet they were chilling enough to send a chill down one's spine.
A talisman appeared at Pei Duo's fingertips and he headed towards Wu Yan.
"Are you wondering how I could catch up so quickly?"
Pei Duo read Wu Yan's thoughts and kindly informed him.
"I said before that I came to win back my wife's heart. I have been with him day and night, so how could I not be familiar with his aura, let alone his heart."
Pei Duo's words were full of hidden meanings, and there was a bit of a double entendre in them.
Wu Yan felt that the King of Hell was urging him to die, and without caring about anything else, he immediately shouted: "I am willing to return my heart to him, but the fusion of half of the heart requires a living body, you can't kill me now!"
Of course Wu Yan would not be stupid enough to threaten Pei Duo. He was also half-demon, and Pei Duo's skills were superior to his. No matter what, he had to survive first and then think of a solution.
"You are quite sensible."
Pei Duo had no intention of killing him. What if the fox heart was dug out and the heart became immobile and could not be merged back together? Of course, Pei Duo had to keep him alive.
Of course, life must be saved, and everything else is unnecessary.
Wu Yan screamed miserably, his tendons in his hands and feet were all severed, and the demon pill in his stomach was also dug out.
Pei Duo sprinkled hemostatic powder on Wu Yan and stuffed a talisman into his mouth. Of course, it was not to prevent Wu Yan from escaping, but just to prevent him from committing suicide.
"You are such a piece of shit, you are not worthy of his heart."
Pei Duo sighed softly and looked down at Wu Yan, not hiding his sneer at all.
Lord Pei always behaves like a bodhisattva in front of others, but in front of Wu Yan, he is too lazy to pretend and can't hide his disgust.
Wu Yan was filled with hatred and stared at Pei Duo, and he also resented the fox demon.
He didn't have the heart to ponder this forbidden love between man and demon. He just cursed Pei Duo, a demon-suppressing master, for getting involved with a demon and calling her his wife.
The next moment, severe pain came from his left eye. He couldn't even scream. Looking at his eyeball rolling on the ground, Wu Yan was extremely frightened. He didn't even dare to look at Pei Duo again. In his heart, he cursed the fox demon that escaped from his hands, and angrily scolded all the people who didn't stop him from escaping.
Lin Zhi didn't feel Wu Yan's concern. Under his sharp claws was a kingfisher. The bird was covered in blood and most of its feathers had fallen off. It was already dying.
This is Yun Lu who deceived the original owner. Lin Zhi has been eyeing him for a long time.
His cultivation has made great progress under Pei Duo's unremitting efforts. After all, he is a fox demon that feeds on essence and energy.
Yun Lu's cultivation is comparable to that of the original owner, but now Lin Zhi has fallen behind him. In addition, Lin Zhi's illusion and charm techniques are superb, so he naturally tramples Yun Lu under his feet.
Yunlu was unwilling to die like this, and begged Lin Zhi for mercy.
"We were friends. I didn't mean to hurt you at first. It's just that he was my sweetheart and I was bewildered by him. I know I was wrong and I always feel that I owe you..."
The kingfisher cried and tried to beg for Lin Zhi's mercy.
Lin Zhi naturally had no sympathy, but he still listened to what Yun Lu said.
"I see."
Lin Zhi stretched out the last syllable of the sentence, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.
"For the sake of our friendship, of course I... of course I can't just let you go like this."
Under Yunlu's expectant gaze, Lin Zhi finished the rest of his words leisurely.
Yunlu's expression became extremely ugly, but Lin Zhi's voice remained leisurely.
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Since you can attack me for the person you like, you should also accept the revenge of the person who likes me. It is reasonable and proper."
It was actually a relief to die like this. Lin Zhi didn't even dig out Yun Lu's demon pill. He turned into a human form and carried him back.
Lin Zhi is not vengeful, but the original owner was hurt, not only because of the pain of having his heart broken, but also because of the pain of being betrayed by a trusted friend. According to Lin Zhi's way of doing things, of course he has to pay it back.
When the people in Wucheng who were still resisting saw the Dai Viet leader dragging the city lord, their morale was completely broken.
The monsters in Wucheng had given up killing people when the army rushed in, and fled madly towards the outside of Wucheng to avoid falling into the hands of the Heavenly Master.
The celestial masters who had taken action earlier had already scattered to hunt down the monster, so only a very few of the Dai Yue soldiers saw the monster, but they were quickly accused of having their souls captured, and their memories became blurred.
The ones who did this were a few little demons. Their cultivation was not high, but they were enough to confuse mortals. Pei Duo naturally did not only bring demon-suppressing masters with him. This was also a necessary measure to prevent mortals from being frightened by the sight of the demons.
Lin Zhi threw the dying kingfisher to one of the monsters to take care of it. He left marks under the kingfisher so as not to worry about it escaping.
After throwing Yunlu to others, Lin Zhi turned into his original form, which was naturally a controlled prototype. He shook his fur and was held in his arms by Pei Duo who bent over him.
The people of Dai Viet were immersed in the joy of conquering Wucheng and did not care at all that Pei Duo was still holding the fox in his hand and they cheered with joy.
Yun Lu still murmured in disbelief: "Why is this happening?"
Why is it that this fox with only half a heart was not killed by the demon-suppressing master, but was instead loved extremely by him?
The little demon who was watching over him said, "You can't figure it out. No one can figure it out. Anyway, I admire you."
The monsters that came out this time were also shocked that the fox was actually a monster, and were even more puzzled as to how he could get along so calmly with the monster-suppressing master.
Some monsters wanted to follow suit, but before they could get close to Master Pei, they were frightened by his eyes and dared not move. Some monsters set their sights on other demon-suppressing masters, and some even targeted monks. After all, if eunuchs could do it, why couldn't monks?
However, as soon as he approached, he was questioned three times, asking what kind of monster it was, where it was registered, and whether it had ever hurt anyone... In short, there was no beginning of a lingering love story, only the vigilance of being ready to imprison the monster at any time, not to mention that some monster-suppressing masters did not hide their hatred and rejection of monsters at all.
Some monsters tried to learn from the fox monster, but Master Pei never gave them a chance. He always had the fox by his side, which made some monsters extremely envious. Of course, some monsters also felt very sympathetic.
He just felt that he had lost the carefreeness of a fox demon at all. With a lover like this, she couldn't even cheat on him, and might even die before letting him go. The little demon agreed with this point very much, but in his opinion, the fox demon might be enjoying it.
The army was victorious and returned to the capital.
The speed was so fast that no one had expected it and many people were amazed.
After all, the wide river outside Wucheng has strong winds and waves from time to time, and even the well-trained navy will be at a disadvantage.
During this attack, the river was calm. People who didn't know the inside story could only admire that it was God's will.
Of course, it is no secret that Pei Duo first led a team of troops to launch a surprise attack, but he did not take the credit for it.
Wucheng was returned to the territory of Dai Viet, and the new city lord took office under Pei Duo's arrangement.
After this incident, Pei Duo gained a lot of support.
Not only in the court, but also among the people.
Although many people knew that Pei Du was a eunuch who abused his power, he did not issue any decrees to impose heavy taxes and levies. He even abolished many of them and issued several regulations that were beneficial to the people's livelihood. In addition, he now recovered Wucheng, which had been independent in Dai Viet a hundred years ago. Some students and literati even wrote poems in his praise.
Pei Duo never cared about his reputation. After taking Wu Yan back to the capital, he discussed with Lin Zhi and Master Wu Chen how to get the fox heart back.
Therefore, Wu Yan did not die for a while, and Lin Zhi threw Yun Lu and him into the prison of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Although Yun Lu's demon pill was still there, his demonic power was restrained.
Wu Yan knew that he was doomed to die, so he took out his hatred on Yun Lu, blaming him for finding the purple fox.
At first, Yunlu was tolerant of Wuyan, who was both her owner and her lover, but later she did not hide her emotions and the two of them became like enemies in prison.
Lin Zhi was not interested in watching this kind of excitement. Under the care of Pei Duo and Master Wu Chen, he was making preparations before the fusion.
By the time his demon heart was completely integrated into his body, summer had already arrived.
Pei Duo took Lin Zhi to worship his parents, and then took him back to the old house that had been burned down.
Under the burnt tree that had no spiritual power left, Lin Zhi discovered that there seemed to be something buried in the ground.
He dug it out and brushed off the dust.
It was a dirty stuffed cat doll, with stains of time on the white cotton.
