Chapter 57 The Demon Exorcist Doesn’t Exorcise Demons (17)
In the desert.
Today is a rare sunny day.
Shisui, however, dozed off in a cave in the desert that had been eroded by wind.
It's all because... this Nine Cloud Fox Demon is afraid of the sun!!
The more powerful the monster is, the more afraid it is of light, especially the Nine Cloud Fox Demon who has been hiding underground for many years and has never come out. He will cry if he looks at the sunlight.
Since he wanted to visit Princess Wenzhu, Shisui could only reluctantly accommodate his habits.
They slept during the day and traveled at night.
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon ran wildly across the desert in its original form of a huge red fox.
Shi Sui and Princess Xiao Jin were much smaller than him, so they sat on his back to hitchhike like two little squirrels running onto the back of an elephant.
The wind and sand were blowing so violently at night, and the Nine-Cloud Fox Demon was running so fast.
Shisui buried her entire face in the red fox's fur and didn't dare to look up.
As long as she raised her head, the coarse sand and gravel coming towards her would disfigure her for free.
After a night of parkour, Tokiho was in great pain.
She took out the demon-subduing gourd again and said, "Brother, why don't you go in? I'll carry you. Otherwise, I'm afraid my people will be gone before we even reach Huitou Village."
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say you came from the underworld? Is this all you can do?"
"The soul comes from the underworld, but the body is made of flesh and blood. It can't withstand any torture. I have to return it to the original owner after using it." Shi Sui wanted to pull Xiao Jin into the victim's alliance, "The little princess is also a child. How can you-"
"Xiao Jin is not afraid, Xiao Jin thinks it's very fun!" Princess Xiao Jin giggled.
It turns out that daughters are their fathers’ warmest little cotton-padded jackets.
When the Nine Cloud Fox Demon heard this, a hint of barely perceptible pride appeared on his face, which had been as cold as an iceberg for thousands of years.
As an outsider, Tokiho has no right to speak (bite the handkerchief!).
Since swallowing the dragon horn, Princess Xiaojin's body has grown rapidly from three years old to five or six years old, and is now as tall as Shi Sui's waist and abdomen.
Shi Sui joked with her: "You've grown up so fast. I don't know if your mother will be able to recognize you when you go back."
"I have my own scent. My mother can tell by the smell!"
"Your mother is not a monster, how could she smell it?"
"Sister! I have a question!" Princess Xiaojin widened her innocent eyes, "Why do my father and I have red hair, but mother's hair is white?"
The questions asked by children are unintentional.
But when Shisui heard this, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
Princess Xiaojin, who has been born for 40 years but is still a child, probably has no way of understanding that the length of human life is different from hers.
So Shi Sui answered ambiguously: "Because your mother is sick."
"Then Daddy goes to find Mom and can heal her? After the disease is cured, will Mom's hair turn back to black like yours, or red like ours?"
"Ah, this...Xiao Jin..."
"No." The usually taciturn Nine Cloud Fox Demon suddenly interrupted, "It won't change back."
"Why not, Daddy... Daddy?"
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first."
The Nine-Cloud Fox Demon did not answer, but walked away and hid at the other end of the cave, leaning his head against the wall and pretending to be asleep.
Princess Xiaojin was left behind to continue pestering Shi Sui and asking her a hundred thousand questions.
He can't speak but still has to meddle in other people's affairs! Shihui was so angry that she wanted to smash his head on the spot!
Hey!
After finally tricking Princess Xiaojin into falling asleep, Shi Sui sat down next to the Nine Cloud Fox Demon in a rage and ordered him coldly, "I know you're not asleep at all. Open your eyes."
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon was still pretending to be dead.
Tokiho: "I'll count to three. One... two..."
He had no choice but to open his eyelids a little.
"What's the point of lying to her? Sooner or later, the child will have to face life and death." The Nine Cloud Fox Demon was still stubborn, "It's not something that can't be discussed."
"Okay, since there's nothing to say, then why didn't you continue talking and leave the mess to me?!"
“…”
"Is this how you raise all your children?!"
"I've never had a child before, and I've never thought about having one." The Nine Cloud Fox Demon was really aggrieved this time, "Xiao Jin is my only offspring!"
This was the first time that Jiuyun Fox Demon, as a father, called his daughter by her name... Unfortunately, Xiao Jin fell asleep and couldn't hear it.
After clearing his name, the Nine Cloud Fox Demon fell silent again.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Shi Sui could never figure out what the Nine Cloud Fox Demon was thinking.
Without the instructions of the monster contract, he had to sneak into Huitou Village by hiding himself in the demon-subduing gourd that would damage the monster's power. He might also be discovered by Bu Yuchuan and used by him.
Despite all the restrictions, the Nine Cloud Fox Demon was still determined to go back and see Princess Wenzhu.
Is this also the monster's "lack of understanding of love"?
"What has Princess Wenzhu been doing these years?" The nine fox demons finally took the initiative to ask about Princess Wenzhu.
"She never married, and she stayed in Huitou Village, acting as her brother's behind-the-scenes advisor."
When Shisui stayed in Huitou Village before, she had already figured out the relationship network of the Bu family.
The current city lord, Bu Yuchuan's father, is actually a weakling, a complete fool.
After he succeeded the city lord, there were many important matters, including the management of the army, the expansion of Huitou Village, the quantification of laws and regulations, etc., almost all of which were suggested by his sister Princess Wenzhu behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, because she was a girl, only her brother's name would be recorded in the written records. And the contributions Princess Wenzhu made silently, as those who knew about it passed away one by one, would eventually be buried in the long river of history...
The Nine Dragon Fox Demon suddenly asked a strange question: "Are all human women the same as her?"
"No," Shi Sui smiled and shook her head, "Women from the Western Regions rarely have a temperament as fierce as Princess Wenzhu."
"But she is very weak. She collapses if her body is touched, and she cries."
…Well, that was probably Princess Wenzhu falling down of her own accord, so what you heard might not have been crying. This straight, icy guy is so clueless!
Shi Sui couldn't help but wonder what Princess Wenzhu saw in Nine Cloud Fox Demon. With his emotional intelligence, how could she still be obsessed with him for the rest of her life after spending an entire night alone with him...
Hey, stop, stop!!
Shi Sui put away her gossipy heart and seriously advised the Nine Cloud Fox Demon: "When you meet Princess Wenzhu, if you really have nothing to say, just keep your mouth shut and be a pretty vase. She has worked hard for most of her life, don't let her suffer before her death."
In two days at most, they would reach Huitou Village.
Shi Sui was ready to deal with Bu Yuchuan's "greetings".
