The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Hua Chao was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a shrill voice calling him softly.

“Sister Hua Chao, please wake up soon. …Sister Hua Chao, please wake up soon! …”

Hua Chao woke up with a start and sat up.

He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully in the light of lightning. He saw that the person standing on the floor of the hut was Xiaohong, the female ghost he rescued in the mountains more than half a month ago.

Hua Chao suddenly felt unhappy. Why did she ask Hua Chao to help her deliver a letter to her family? She had already delivered the letter as she asked. She had already helped her in all the ways she should, so why was she still pestering her?

Now that the incident has happened over half a month ago, she still followed me all the way here. How could this female ghost be so ignorant and keep pestering me endlessly?

Hua Chao was secretly unhappy, but he suppressed his anger.

Before Feng Huachao could open his mouth to accuse her, Xiaohong knelt down and kowtowed with a plop.

"My benefactor, please accept Xiaohong's greeting!"

After prostrating herself on the ground and kowtowing deeply, Xiaohong moved forward and continued speaking.

"Don't be afraid, my benefactor sister. Xiaohong just has something to tell you today..."

"What's the matter? I'm in a foreign country now. It's impossible for me to go back to your hometown to do things for you again!" Hua Chao interrupted Xiaohong with some resentment before she could finish her words.

"Sister, my grievances have been resolved by my family. Xiaohong no longer has any resentment in her heart. This is all thanks to Sister Hua Chao who helped me deliver the letter to my house. After seeing the letter, my family quickly dug up my body in the backyard of the Wang family. The second son of the Wang family has been executed."

Hua Chao looked at the female ghost Xiaohong in front of him suspiciously: "Then why did you come to Longyin Town to find me!"

Xiao Hong kowtowed again: "Sister, it's all Xiao Hong's fault! Wuwu..."

Hua Chao was even more confused after hearing this: "Xiao Hong, what do you mean by this? I don't understand! Why would you hurt me?"

"Sister, this story all started from the day you saved Xiaohong in the forest." Xiaohong cried and told Hua Chao everything she knew...

It turned out that Xiaohong was a wandering ghost looking for food at the foot of the mountain that day, but she was discovered by a fox demon in the mountain. The fox demon saw that Xiaohong was pretty, so she captured her and took her up the mountain to rape her.

Xiaohong took advantage of the fox demon's carelessness and escaped from the fox demon's cave. She hid here and there along the way, trying to avoid the mountain fox demon.

But he didn't expect that when he was running away in panic, he ran into the ghost messenger who was catching little ghosts. He was really unlucky.

At the critical moment, they met Hua Chao and Ling Mi who were traveling in the mountains at night. Hua Chao was kind-hearted and saved Xiao Hong.

All of this was seen by the fox demon who was chasing closely. When the fox demon saw Hua Chao and Ling Mi, he immediately became lustful and thought about getting Hua Chao and Ling Mi into his fox cave.

But in the world of living people, as a fox demon, he cannot harm living beings at will.

The fox demon didn't dare to attack Hua Chao, but was still unwilling to give in. He was always thinking about attacking Hua Chao and the other two, and sent his men to keep an eye on their movements.

Just a few days ago, the fox demon inexplicably began to urgently inquire about the whereabouts of Hua Chao and Ling Mi.

Xiao Hong only found out about this by accident when she heard some little ghosts and goblins chatting. She then asked around and ran all the way here, fearing that she would not be able to outrun the fox demon and would not have time to inform her benefactor.

"Sister Hua Chao, I don't know why the fox demon has such a big grudge against you. Logically speaking, you and the fox demon should have no intersection. He is a fox demon who is practicing in the mountains. You are an ordinary young lady. How much hatred can he have against you? Now he has announced to the public that if anyone tells him your whereabouts, the fox demon will give the informant a large sum of money. There will always be brave men under a big reward. From now on, you must be very careful when you go out."

Hua Chao felt very surprised after listening to Xiao Hong's story. He had just arrived in Sichuan and was unfamiliar with the place, so how could he have a feud with the monsters in the mountains?

Suddenly, the enchanting image of the Yin-Yang fox demon flashed through Hua Chao's mind. It was the mountain fox demon that was suppressed by him under the "Qiankun Tower".

"Could it be him!..." Hua Chao murmured.

Turning around, Hua Chao looked directly at Xiao Hong in front of him and asked, "Xiao Hong, is the mountain fox demon you mentioned a yin-yang fox demon that has a male and female voice?"

Xiao Hong nodded rapidly: "Yes! That's right! The fox demon has a man's voice at one moment and a woman's voice at another moment, and is a sex maniac that is popular with both men and women!"

Hua Chao suddenly felt cold sweat all over his body and his hands and feet were cold.

"Isn't that fox demon trapped under the Qiankun Tower? How come he's here?"

Xiao Hong looked out the window of the hut anxiously, and said with lingering fear: "Sister Hua Chao, I rushed here overnight to tell you these things. I hope you and Sister Ling Mi can leave here as soon as possible. It's best to hide and don't let the fox demon find you again. I will also be reincarnated in a few days, and I will no longer be able to find out any news about the fox demon for you. It's best for you to leave tonight. If the fox demon comes tonight, you two will not be able to escape!"

Hua Chao raised his hand and touched Xiao Hong's pale cheek: "Xiao Hong, you are also a kind-hearted person. You specially came to tell me these things. How can I thank you!"

"Sister, let's not talk about these things for now. These are all things I should do. I have no way to repay your kindness. Now I have only done a small thing. Xiaohong only hopes that my benefactor sister can escape from the clutches of the fox demon. I hope that you two can quickly escape! The farther the better."

"Okay! I'll wake up Ling Mi now."

Hua Chao turned around and came to the bed, calling softly: "Ling Mi, wake up... Ling Mi, wake up!"

Ling Mi heard Hua Chao's call, opened her sleepy eyes, yawned and asked: "Ah!...Sister, why are you waking me up so late at night?"

"Lingmi, get up quickly. We are going to be on the road now. I will tell you the details on the way. It is hard to explain it in a few words now. Get up quickly without delay."

Hua Chao did not stop working as he spoke, and hurriedly packed their bags.

When Ling Mi saw her sister suddenly wake her up tonight and hurriedly pack her bags, she knew there must be some emergency, so she stopped asking questions, got out of bed, and started helping Hua Chao pack her things.

After a while, Hua Chao and Ling Mi had packed their bags: "Ling Mi, we are on our way now. You should also say thank you to Xiao Hong."

"Xiaohong?..." Lingmi looked at Hua Chao suspiciously.

"Thank you first, I'll tell you what's going on on the way!"

Ling Mi had no choice but to bow to the air in the room.

"Okay! We'll set off now. Xiaohong, you should go back soon too. We'll say goodbye now!"

Hua Chao pulled Ling Mi out of the house and ran quickly towards the southeast.
