Besides, everything is progressing smoothly, and settling down with the God is just around the corner. There's no need to be stingy with myself over such a small amount of money.
"System, buy two bottles of that spiritual water first, so I can keep two kill quotas. This world is too harsh on demons! Also, buy me that Qianhuan's clothes too!"
"I'll buy ten transformation pills first, just in case. The rest... I don't need them for now, so I'll just buy these for now."
As soon as Yu Ling finished speaking, the system immediately made the arrangements!
【All bought! Clothes cost 1000 survival points, a bottle of spirit water costs 200, and pills cost 10 points each, for a total of 1300 survival points~】
Having spent 1,300, Yu Ling had 52,000 left. Not caring about the expense, she took Qian Huan out of her backpack and put her on, so she wouldn't be without clothes when she turned back into a human.
[Haha, this outfit really knows how to change! When worn by the host's current fox form, it actually turns into a tuft of white fur on the head! Haha, so cute!!!]
The system was stunned by this brilliant finishing touch; the God's products were so intelligent!
"Shut up! Say one more word and I'll send you to accompany the love-struck protagonist!!!" After yelling at the system, Yu Ling scanned the inside of the fox's body with her divine sense.
Later, she discovered that the hole in the original owner's body corresponded to the patch of hair that had spurted out on the front of her stomach.
It is estimated that once the fox fur has fully grown back, Yu Ling can reseal her demonic nature, begin to revert to a human body, and then return to her original profession as a demon hunter to eliminate the twenty red-named monsters in the side quest.
Having just arrived in the new world, Yu Ling found that the storage space awarded by the main god had been emptied. So she threw all the tattered clothes and personal belongings left behind by the original owner into it.
Then, she put on the Concealing Aura Necklace from her system inventory to hide her demonic aura, and walked out of the cave in the appearance of an ordinary, uncivilized red fox.
Since the Concealing Breath Necklace was also produced by the main god and designated by Qianhuan as a set of costumes, it has now become a tuft of white fox fur on Yuling's head, which is why the strange scene of a fox wearing a necklace did not occur.
The main character wasn't seen, which means that after she turned into a human, she couldn't wait to go back to her lover with the unlucky red-skinned fox demon.
That's good. After all, apart from the red-skinned fox who can smell his scent on Yu Ling, no one else will be able to tell that this little fox's body is the original owner's...
After jogging around the mountain for a short while, Yu Ling felt that she was easily affected by the monsters around her, so she also set off for the human town.
Of course—it's heading in the exact opposite direction from the city where the lovestruck protagonist's sweetheart, the scholar, lives.
If she gets involved with such an ominous species as the protagonist, Yu Ling, the survivor who always possesses the villain, will really go crazy!
Fortunately, this fox demon won't be easily killed, so there's no need to send the system to keep an eye on her all the time. She also doesn't harbor any deep-seated hatred towards me (her killing intent towards the original owner disappeared after she turned back into a human), so I should stay as far away from her as possible.
Although Yu Ling now has a patched-up, tattered body that is half-human and half-demon, she is still very fast on her feet. Before long, she arrived at a bustling city.
After patrolling the area, Yu Ling discovered a treasure for scavenging monsters at the city's guard post. She had no choice but to sneak in through a hole in the wall. Once inside the city, looking at the bustling and lively streets around her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and reflection).
Where there are people, the standard of living is higher!
Now, disguised, she is not a monster in the eyes of humans, but she is still a wild fox in the mountains and forests. She cannot walk normally in human cities. She can only wait to see if a rich person who likes small animals will pass by, pick her up as a pet, and then slowly heal her wounds.
Yu Ling chose to observe passersby from a shady spot behind the restaurant, but she accidentally noticed that someone seemed to be lingering nearby.
"Hey—Big brother, you've finally arrived! Master Li has been waiting for you at his residence for quite some time." A loud shout suddenly came from ahead, drawing displeased glances from those around.
Yu Ling looked over as well and found that it was the young man who had been pacing back and forth; it seemed that the person she was waiting for had arrived.
"Shh—! Keep your voice down... Wait, did you already go there beforehand? Didn't I tell you not to go to other people's houses?"
The so-called "big brother" who had been stopped had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall, strong build; his muscular physique gave him a sense of security. He stopped, rushed over, and covered the boy's mouth, glaring at him as he said...
"What's wrong with you? You're so clumsy and reckless. We're here to help fight the monster, not to sightsee! And you're going to see Master Li, and speaking to me so loudly! What if you scare the monster away???"
"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!!!" The boy, who had been manually muted and unable to speak, nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, use your brains! Let's go to the Li residence and check the situation first..." the 'big brother' said.
Yu Ling overheard the entire conversation between these two men who seemed to be exorcists. What? A monster? But she didn't sense any demonic energy in the town! It was probably just some human pretending to be a ghost and trying to pin the blame on a nonexistent monster.
Faced with this situation, Yu Ling decided to follow along and see what was going on. A place that could "cause trouble with monsters" must be rich and powerful. Once this matter was resolved, the place where monsters were originally captured would definitely be abandoned.
Moreover, even if these two can eventually prove that the monster story is false, wealthy people who are not short of money will still feel resistant, so wouldn't they have a place to live?
Thinking of this, Yu Ling, the little red fox with white fur on her head, stared at the demon hunter who had just left, kicked off her feet, and followed far behind.
In a world where humans and demons coexist, there are bound to be many strange tales and legends. The original owner had heard quite a few, some true and some false.
Because the laws of nature are too harsh on demons, most stories don't involve anyone losing their life. They mostly involve romantic escapades between beautiful female demons and scholars or warriors, such as having a fleeting affair with a beautiful woman repaying a debt of gratitude. The worst outcome is that some of their life essence is drained afterward.
For the demons who hide in the deep mountains to cultivate, apart from those who specialize in doing evil, attempt to become kings and tyrants, and even slaughter villages and destroy countries, other demons come to the human world out of curiosity. They don't know what pretext this man-made event is under, but they actually claim that there are demons causing trouble.
Soon, they arrived at the home of a wealthy and powerful family. The steward excitedly welcomed the two demon hunters inside, while Yu Ling concealed her aura, jumped into the backpack of the young man with little cultivation, and slipped into the mansion.
