Liu Yin came here only to tell Bai Yu this news.
If the previous plan of those demon hunters was to defeat the monsters in various places one by one, and then use them to build more powerful weapons.
However, if any spirits or monsters knew about this beforehand, they would certainly take precautions.
After saying goodbye to Bai Yu, Liu Yin and Tu Lu returned to the carriage. 003 had already bought a house in the royal city, and Liu Yin was going there.
Before they left, the children had already loaded the boxes onto the carriage.
Bai Yu also sent Tu Lu a few sets of clothes, as his wife was beautiful and he himself couldn't dress so shabbily.
He was used to living in the capital and always wore fine clothes, so Tu Lu's black clothes, which were of questionable material, seemed rather simple to him.
However, Bai Yu also knew that when some spirits first took human form, their fur would attach to their bodies and turn into a garment.
He didn't say it too bluntly, but simply asked Xiao Tong to send it over as well.
Bai Yu stood in front of the door, watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, her gaze somewhat dark, and her fist unconsciously clenched.
Sure enough, those demon hunters haven't changed at all.
Painful memories suddenly flooded her mind, and Bai Yu's eyes turned red. She quickly walked back into the mansion to cover it up.
His wife was a fox spirit. After they fell in love, Bai Yu brought her to the royal city because she loved fine clothes and delicious food.
They were all powerful demons, so naturally they didn't take those demon exorcists seriously.
His wife ran a cosmetics shop in the city, so he stayed home with her and went out to find food in the evenings.
They lived a peaceful life here for several years without anything unusual happening.
But after his wife became pregnant, her appetite increased, which is when the group of exorcists discovered the truth.
So when he found food and returned home that evening, his wife was nowhere to be found; only a pool of blood and signs of a struggle remained.
Bai Yu had naturally searched for her; part of his wife's aura was in the Demon Suppression Hall, and the other part was in the Royal Palace.
It was easy to find out that His Majesty's newly favored concubine had just received a snow-white fox fur coat.
If she hadn't been pregnant, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
After his wife's death, Bai Yu changed his appearance and transformed into a well-known wealthy man in the royal city.
In previous years, he was able to secretly eliminate a few demon hunters when they were alone, but recently, the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Hall has become increasingly strict, so he can only join forces with other powerful demons to find other ways.
It turns out that the Demon Suppression Hall has been planning this all these years.
——
The carriage moved slowly down the street, and the pedestrians along the way, who were already familiar with it, quickly made way for it.
Tu Lu lifted the curtain to look at the scene outside. The smiles on the faces of the people and the noise of the street were scenes that Wushan had never seen before.
The thunder and tremors just now didn't seem to affect them much.
003 suddenly flew in from outside, "Host, I'm back."
"I've already cleaved down that demon-suppressing hall of that exorcist and brought the willow tree demon back with me."
“However,” 003’s voice suddenly became softer, “I also brought back a little fox.”
"Little fox?" Liu Yin blinked. "They even kidnap children?"
"Yeah, those exorcists are really awful. They've been bleeding him out the whole time, and he can't even speak."
It was only when 003 went to find the willow tree spirit that he saw the little fox lying in the cage.
Green sap continuously flowed from the thick roots of the willow tree, gradually falling into the pool, where green and red intermingled.
When 003 said it wanted to take the willow tree spirit with it, the willow tree stopped it and instead told it to take the little fox next to it.
After all, he was already old, so it wouldn't matter if he died, but that child was only a few years old.
He didn't know who his parents were, lived in a daze every day, and couldn't even speak.
003 does know who the little fox is, because it was mentioned later in the story; she just died a very pitiful death in the end.
It took the two of them with it, since they were both stored in its spatial storage, so it didn't take much effort.
After listening to 003's words, Liuyin nodded thoughtfully.
003 does have a slight preference for weak creatures, but she won't stop her.
"If you can help him find his family, then send him back."
003 nodded somewhat reluctantly, "Okay."
The little fox was the same color as him, and he wanted to play with him. But 003 also knew that his father would be very happy if he knew he was still alive.
——
The yard that 003 bought is a bit secluded, away from crowds, but the space is quite large.
After the man helped Liuyin down from the carriage, he carried the box inside the house.
As expected of Bai Yu, a wealthy man in the city, Liu Yin actually found a box full of gold, mixed with silver notes and loose silver in one of the boxes.
Although she wasn't short of money, she still accepted the kindness.
As Tulu was curiously examining the room, something suddenly fell from above.
After a series of rustling sounds, a willow tree took root in the yard, and a snow-white little fox was perched on its branches, its round eyes wide open.
"Thank you both for your help."
As the aged voice rang out, the willow branches swayed without wind, gradually drooping to the ground.
Tu Lu was taken aback at first, then realized that this must be the willow tree spirit from the town before.
He and Liuyin were planning to save him, but before they could even make a move, the tree appeared.
Liu Yin took the man's hand and said softly, "Perhaps it was other powerful demons who helped."
Tulu nodded thoughtfully.
There's nothing wrong with coming out, but why does he insist on staying in this courtyard? He just wants to stay with Liuyin.
The little fox trembled slightly in fear as the two approached.
"His name is Yun Sheng, but he hasn't gained any intelligence yet," the willow spirit explained to the two, which was why he was afraid.
Those that haven't developed intelligence can't be considered spirits or monsters; they're just ordinary animals with only instincts.
When he was first captured and met Yun Sheng there, he was also very puzzled. Yun Sheng was an animal that couldn't even speak, and he didn't know why the Demon Suppression Hall had locked him up.
However, it was later learned that even though he had not yet gained intelligence, his blood still contained poison, and his parents might also be powerful demons.
"We have another request to make of you both."
"Please speak."
"If possible, I hope you two can take us to Wushan, or you can take Yunsheng there as well."
"Why go to Wushan?" Tu Lu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Wushan is known for its many spirits and monsters, but in all these years, apart from the immortal, he has never seen any other spirits or monsters come to Wushan.
"Years ago, I had some acquaintance with Jin Lei, and this time I went there to seek his protection."
