The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

"Catch them, they're there!"

…………

The noisy sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling could be heard from afar. Hua Chao was so frightened that he trembled all over. Ling Mi also grabbed the corner of Hua Chao's clothes tightly.

"Sister Hua Chao, you must listen to me now, otherwise none of us can escape from the clutches of the fox demon!" Xiao Hong shouted urgently.

"You two just hide in this bush, and don't make any sound. I will use my weak magic power to protect you two. I am a female ghost and I run faster than you. If you follow me, it will distract me. I will lead these evil spirits away. When you two see me leading them away, run away quickly!... It's too late. Don't say anything more. Just do as I say!"

Xiaohong didn't allow Hua Chao to speak and stretched out her hand, using a little magical power to protect Hua Chao and Ling Mi in a pile of weeds.

The small barrier is like a crystal clear bubble, protecting Hua Chao and Ling Mi firmly inside. They can see everything outside, but people outside cannot see that they are hiding here.

Xiaohong flicked the bubble lightly with her hand, making it smaller and hiding it deep inside the grass.

Seeing that Hua Chao and Ling Mi were safe, Xiao Hong transformed into Hua Chao and ran out without even looking back. She would stop from time to time and pretend to be looking for an escape route.

Hua Chao lowered her voice and called out to Xiao Hong who was running away.

"Xiao Hong!..."

"Sister, Xiaohong will be okay, right?" Ling Mi asked in a trembling voice.

“Ling Mi!… She… She! She disguised herself as me to lure away those evil spirits! She is courting death!… Wuuwu…”

Hua Chao choked up and looked at Xiaohong who was getting farther and farther away. How could she, a small female ghost, outrun those jackals, tigers and leopards? She didn't run far before she was discovered by the fox demon.

Hua Chao watched helplessly as the fox demon caught up with Xiao Hong, grabbed Xiao Hong, and turned Xiao Hong's body around. He immediately discovered that the person in his hand was not Hua Chao but a female ghost pretending to be Hua Chao.

The fox demon screamed in anger, and the sound made Hua Chao feel creepy and all the pores in his body seemed hollowed out.

“Wow!… Ahhh… I am so pissed off, I am so pissed off! You little devil are looking for death! Why don’t you just be a good devil and come here to go against me!”

As he spoke, a black and purple light flashed in his palm, and a purple mist rushed towards Xiaohong.

"Idiot, what's the point of killing her like this? Since this little ghost deliberately let you capture her to save Hua Chao, how could the Sixth Princess of Jinghe watch this little ghost disappear into ashes because of her! The Sixth Princess will definitely come out to save this little ghost."

A familiar voice floated from a distance, but Hua Chao still couldn't see who it was.

"Hahahaha... the Immortal is absolutely right!"

From a distance, the enchanting voice of the fox demon could be heard roaring.

"You little ghost girl, you are quite courageous. You actually dared to come to my cave and ruin my good deeds. Look, I will let you know what fear is tonight!"

Hua Chao saw from afar that the fox demon lifted Xiaohong up high and hung her in the air. Xiaohong was beaten by the fox demon with her spiritual power and groaned in pain.

"My little beauty, my sweetheart, Sixth Princess, you have deceived me so much. How could you just abandon me and run away? You'd better come out quickly, or I will kill this little devil friend of yours who is willing to die for you without a burial place!"

Xiao Hong's shrill voice rang out: "Old devil, you can kill me or chop me up as you like, don't be fussy like a nagging wife, just kill me quickly! If you can't kill me, I will tear your head off and kick it like a ball when I have time."

Hua Chao wanted to stand up, but the magical power that Xiaohong had used to protect the two of them was beyond the ability of a mere mortal like her to break. She could only struggle and beat in vain, but there was no way for her to get out!

"Ling Mi! We can't get out. What should we do? I will never forgive myself for watching Xiao Hong die for me. Find a way quickly! We have to go out and save her! Wuwu..."

Hua Chao tried her best to beat the barrier created by the illusion power, but she was now a mortal. Even though Xiao Hong's illusion power was weak, Hua Chao had no way to compete with her.

No matter how hard Hua Chao and Ling Mi struggled inside the bubble, they could not break the small barrier. They could only pound in vain, but the small bubble still did not respond.

"Haha!... You are just a little ghost girl, but you are so stubborn. If you want to die, I will grant your wish. Otherwise, you still think that I am afraid of you!"

A black and purple light flashed, and Xiaohong's body was instantly surrounded by purple mist. Suddenly, the purple mist turned into a purple fire dragon, and Xiaohong was ignited in an instant.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Dark and purple flames shot up into the sky.

Before Hua Chao could shout, Xiao Hong had turned into a purple light and gradually faded away, like a firework that burned out, leaving no trace behind.

Hua Chao in the bubble didn't react for a long time. He just stared blankly at the shadow in the fire in the distance.

It felt as if something had ripped a bloody piece of flesh from Hua Chao's heart, and the hands that were covering her chest were shaking violently.

I opened my mouth wide and took deep breaths, but still felt like I couldn't breathe.

"Ah! Sister! What's wrong with you? I only saw the fox demon using phantom fire. Did he kill Xiaohong? Woohoo!... Lingmi can only see the fox demon's every move, but I still can't see what's happening to Xiaohong! Woohoo..."

Hua Chao placed his hands against the barrier, then slowly slid down and sat powerlessly in the grass.

“Ling Mi, Ling Mi!… It’s me who harmed Xiao Hong, it’s me who harmed Xiao Hong!… Woo woo…”

“Sister!…Wuwuwu…”

"Xiao Hong was burned to ashes by the fox demon's enchantment fire... She was about to be reincarnated as a human, but now she can't even be a ghost! Wuwu... It's all my fault!"

Ling Mi hugged Hua Chao tightly: "Sister, Xiao Hong trapped you and me in this small barrier because she didn't want us to go out and seek death. She used her own soul to repay your kindness! Woo woo... Poor Xiao Hong, she also saved me, but I don't even know what she looks like!"

"You idiot, you killed this kid before you found those two..." The hateful female voice came from a distance, and the fox demon shouted before she could finish.

"Shut up, you old witch. You've been bossing me around all day. I can kill you if I want to. It's none of your business!" the fox demon growled in a charming female voice.

"Look for me. If you don't find those two little villains tonight, none of you will have an easy life!" The fox demon's charming male voice shouted sternly.

"Haha! You idiot!..."

"Huh..." The fox demon threw the black and purple spiritual power in his palm towards the annoying female voice.

"Shut up, old witch!" The fox demon's male and female voices growled at the same time.

"Ah! You...you...you evil monster, then let it be as you please!"

A large group of fox spirits and wolves spread out and began searching for Hua Chao and Ling Mi in the mountains and forests of Longyin Town.

The evil spirits and monsters were as densely packed as a group of black ants, gradually moving farther and farther away from Hua Chao and Ling Mi.
