The little white fox looked up worriedly and saw Xu Nian's bright eyes looking at the little piglet with a smile.
Immediately, the little white fox bared its teeth, wishing it could rush up and kick the piglet away.
If Xu Nian hadn't been worried that if she hurt the piglet, she would have thrown it away again, the little white fox would have done so.
Xu Nian held the little white fox in one arm and Yuanbao in the other, with a bell hanging from her waist and a peach wood sword on her back. Her stern face was serious.
Following Yuanbao's directions, they led the two little ones to the nearest town.
Once inside the city, we went straight to the largest restaurant in town.
The waiter waiting at the door saw Xu Nian dressed as a Taoist priest and holding a small animal in each hand, and for a moment he didn't dare to come forward.
"What? Is your restaurant full?" Xu Nian asked the waiter standing at the door.
The dazed waiter immediately snapped out of his daze upon hearing this and greeted him apologetically, "Please forgive me, sir. I was simply taken aback by your extraordinary appearance. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night? I'll make the arrangements for you right away."
"Do you have roast suckling pig in your shop?" Xu Nian asked, feeling the loose silver in her pocket.
"Sir, we do have some, but you have to pay first before the kitchen can prepare it, and it will take two hours to be served," the waiter said to Xu Nian with a troubled expression.
"That's fine. How much silver?" Xu Nian pressed down on the excitedly struggling Yuanbao and asked the waiter the price.
"Sir, a roast suckling pig costs two taels of silver. What do you think?" The waiter looked at Xu Nian with a smile.
Without saying a word, Xu Nian tossed a two-tael silver coin to the waiter.
The waiter beamed as he took the money. "Please come in, sir. Please come to a private room on the second floor."
After sitting down by the window on the second floor and asking the waiter for his opinion, Xu Nian put Yuanbao and the white fox on the stool.
Xu Nian warned the two little ones not to sit on the table, and only after they nodded in unison did her serious expression soften.
While the waiter was instructing the kitchen to prepare the roast suckling pig, Xu Nian ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
There was no other way; the original owner of this body was a Taoist priest, and in order to make rapid progress in cultivation, a vegetarian diet was the best option.
After filling her stomach, Xu Nian called over the waiter, gave him a few copper coins, and began asking him if any strange or unusual things had happened nearby.
The waiter was a shrewd man. He greeted and saw many people in the restaurant, and naturally he could distinguish some people by their clothes and mannerisms.
Xu Nian was dressed as a Taoist priest, and given her deliberate inquiries about strange things, the waiter hesitated for a moment before asking, "I wonder how much skill you possess?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Nian became interested, and a hint of surprise appeared on her usually stern face.
The waiter was worried that she wasn't strong enough and would get hurt by those things!
"Master, the Wang family's house in town has been haunted lately. Master Wang offered a hundred taels of silver to someone to capture the evil spirit, but none of the Taoist priests or monks who went in returned." The waiter looked around nervously, as if he were on guard against something!
"With such a thing happening to the Wang family, why didn't they report it to the authorities and ask a reclusive master for help?" Xu Nian slipped two more copper coins to the waiter.
Having taken the coins, the waiter grew bolder and immediately spilled the beans to Xu Nian.
The Wang family reported the incident to the authorities, and the government also submitted a report to higher authorities. However, strangely enough, more than half a month passed, and no expert came to capture the evil spirit.
On the contrary, two government officials also died?
"Besides the Wang family, are there any others?" Xu Nian touched the bell at her waist and lowered her head in deep thought.
The waiter's words seemed to say everything, yet also seemed to say nothing at all.
First, the Wang family's house is haunted, and it's a vengeful ghost.
Second, the Taoist priests and monks who entered the Wang family to exorcise the ghost disappeared.
Third, the 100-tael reward is still in effect.
Fourth, the government officials also died.
Fifth, there's something wrong with the Wang family!
"Master, there's also the Li family in the east of the city. Their daughter-in-law, who died three years ago, has recently returned. It's said that she comes back every day at dusk and leaves again at dawn, which has terrified the Li family." The waiter vividly recounted the Li family's story, his face occasionally displaying exaggerated expressions, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
Just as the waiter was getting into his story with Xu Nian, he was called away by another table of customers.
With no one to chat with, Xu Nian resumed her expressionless demeanor, her brows furrowing slightly as she listened to the noise in the restaurant with a stern and serious expression.
"Waaah!" The little white fox seized the opportunity to jump into Xu Nian's arms, trying to attract her attention.
"Okay, I'll order you some roast chicken." Xu Nian misunderstood, thinking the little white fox was hungry and pestering her for food.
He called the waiter back and paid one tael of silver to order a roast chicken.
As soon as the roast chicken was served, Xu Nian tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into the little white fox's mouth.
When the waiter saw Xu Nian feeding the roast chicken to the fox, his eyes were filled with heartache!
Rich people are really wasting resources; they don't even eat as well as foxes.
Seeing that the little white fox had food, while he himself was feeling hungry, Yuanbao immediately raised his paw and asked, "Host, when will the roast suckling pig be served?"
"We'll have to wait another hour."
"Yuanbao, stop thinking about food. Have you forgotten something important?" Xu Nian tapped the table to remind him.
"Ah! Right, right, I forgot to give the host the plot." Yuanbao slapped his forehead and hurriedly sent the plot to Xu Nian.
The male protagonist, the fox demon king Mo Xuanfeng, failed to ascend to immortality and was seriously injured and on the verge of death when he was saved by a female healer.
The female doctor was kind-hearted and dedicated to healing the sick. Whenever she went to a new place, she would provide free medical care to the poor, and sometimes she would even pay out of her own pocket to treat people.
Having lived a life of deceit and treachery, Mo Xuanfeng had never seen such a foolish woman before, and thus became interested in the female healer.
Seeing her kindness and compassion, seeing her pity for the weak, seeing her steadfastly upholding her principles even when deceived and exploited.
Mo Xuanfeng began to be moved by the female doctor's actions.
Seeing her being harassed and bullied, he couldn't help but help her get revenge.
Seeing her sad, he couldn't help but go over and comfort her.
He couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw her looking at other men.
Mo Xuanfeng realized that he had fallen for the female doctor. Knowing that humans and demons were not meant to be, he wanted to leave quietly so as not to disturb her life.
But his enemies came looking for him and threatened him with the life of the female doctor.
In order to save the female healer, Mo Xuanfeng's body, which had just recovered, was severely injured again, and he transformed back into a fox.
Fortunately, he killed his enemy with all his might, and the female healer was safe and sound.
ending……
She remains a kind-hearted healer, dedicated to saving the world.
He was her little fox, always by her side, determined to follow and protect her to the death.
After reading the plot, Xu Nian looked a little constipated. She looked at Yuanbao with a troubled expression and asked, "So what is our mission this time?"
