Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

"Miss!"

A man wearing a red Taoist robe and a sword on his waist ran over in a hurry.

"Miss, how could you suddenly run away and make it so difficult for us to find you?"

The man was panting, and the three people pulling the carriage behind him looked relieved.

If they come to the capital and lose the young lady, they cannot bear the responsibility.

"Chen Baoan, thank you for taking me to the pharmacy."

"Hehe, it's okay, Miss Huaizhu, but you are really a young lady."

Chen Baoan seemed to have never seen such a big scene and was a little surprised.

Of course, I was more surprised by the novels I had read before.

The novel never deceives me!

It turns out that you can really meet a rich lady!

"No, it's just a little different from others."

Dongfang Huaizhu said with a smile.

"Thank you, little brother, for protecting the young lady while we were out of duty."

The man stepped forward and bowed to Chen Baoan.

"Hey, it's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

Chen Baoan also returned a salute. Although it looked a little awkward compared to that man, it was not difficult to see that he had cultural background.

He glanced at the guys in front of him and found that their clothes were similar to the group of people who had chased Dongfang Huaizhu before.

Alas...it seems that I have indeed misunderstood in the end.

It's a story about a rich lady pursuing freedom and escaping from servants.

"Miss Huaizhu, your mother is also..."

Chen Baoan recalled what Dongfang Huaizhu had said to him, that she came to the capital to buy medicine because her mother was seriously ill.

Some precious medicinal materials are only available in the capital.

"Baoan, take this."

Huaizhu took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Chen Baoan's arms, and the latter was flattered.

Just give me the money, why are you so generous?

"No, no, no, I can't have this."

Chen Baoan quickly declined, but was glared at by Dongfang Huaizhu.

"Just take it if you want. This is my way of thanking you. Also, your body is too weak. You can use this money to buy some medicinal herbs to replenish your body."

With that, Dongfang Huaizhu stepped onto the carriage. After buying the herbs, it was time for her to go back.

My mother is seriously ill, there is no time to delay!

Chen Baoan blushed inexplicably. Was she saying that he was not good enough?

"Miss Huaizhu!"

Seeing Dongfang Huaizhu stepping onto the carriage, Chen Baoan hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

Chen Baoan's dirty little face turned red, and the noise of the crowds around him suddenly disappeared.

"Can we... meet again?"

He finally plucked up the courage to say, "She's a rich girl, wouldn't it be a shame to just let her go?"

Dongfang Huaizhu smiled when he heard this.

"If you have any questions, please write to Shenhuoshan Villa and I will come to meet you from a thousand miles away."

The sweet voice entered Chen Baoan's mind. His heart was filled with spring. He wished that time would stop at this moment.

It was obvious at first glance that the other person's manners, etiquette, and conversation were different from what I had learned on my own.

He seemed to be a little mean-minded and judged others by others. At this moment, his heart really beat for her.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

With the sound of horse hooves, their figures became farther and farther away.

Chen Baoan stood where he was, staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to engrave the departing figure into his heart.

His body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to move at all.

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly he started coughing violently and his body unconsciously collapsed to the ground.

Just when he thought his butt was about to make close contact with the ground, an old but powerful hand lifted it up.

"Everyone has left, don't look at it anymore."

An old voice came.

"I know."

Chen Baoan forced himself to stand up. The old man's momentum was so strong that his already weak body became shaky.

But in front of Dongfang Huaizhu, he inexplicably didn't want to show it.

"Who are you, old man?"

Chen Baoan did not look back. He would never forget that familiar breath no matter how long it took.

After all... I just got beaten.

"Hey, little guy, you're quite sensitive, but it's a pity..."

Chen Baoan felt like he was patted.

"I'm too weak."

"I only used a little force, and that was the limit of your body."

The corners of Chen Baoan's mouth twitched. Is it possible to be so insulting?

He turned around and saw an old and familiar face appear in front of him.

His hair is silver, and his skin looks old and shriveled due to the traces of time. His eyes are full of wisdom and kindness. Although his body is no longer young, his spirit is still vigorous.

"This look is much more pleasing to the eye than when he releases his aura."

Chen Baoan wiped the slight trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself.

"Hey! I can hear you!"

The old man hit Chen Baoan's head hard.

"Hi~it hurts!"

What's wrong with these guys? Why do they like to hit people on the head?

"Huh, you don't seem to be very afraid of me?"

"Oh, why should I be afraid? You won't kill me."

Chen Baoan rubbed his head.

"Oh? That's interesting. You actually think that the purpose of an old man releasing his blood and energy on you is not to kill you?"

"Ahem, old man, if I'm not mistaken, the target of your aura just now was only me, right?"

Chen Baoan smiled, as if everything was as he expected.

"Yes."

"That's strange. Although I am weak, my mind is still sharp. I think this is the first time I have seen you, and you would not want to kill me for no reason."

"So, he must have noticed the conversation between me and the shopkeeper, 'We don't accept monsters here.' The people in that organization would be very sensitive to this sentence, right... Wudang's contact person?"

Chen Baoan glanced at the old gentleman and found that he was also looking at him, and the appreciation and love in his eyes were even stronger!

"Old man, could you please stop looking at me like that? I feel like I'm being stared at."

Chen Baoan joked.

"Hahaha, okay."

"But why are you here? I remember you left a long time ago, right?"

Chen Baoan steadied himself.

Thinking about how the old man had emphasized the location of his own tavern before, Chen Baoan could definitely tell that he was being prompted to go find him himself.

"No, I've been keeping an eye on you."

The old man stroked his beard, his face looking mysterious.

"I think you're just planning to kidnap me when no one is paying attention."

"Emmm, I guess so. After all, the identity of the girl next to you is not that simple."

"Shenhuoshan Manor, Miss."

Chen Baoan muttered.

"That's right, Shenhuoshan Manor, although the human camp has no direct conflict with Wudang, we still have to be on guard against them just in case."

After all, it is a family that rose to prominence by eliminating demons, which runs counter to the philosophy of Wudang.

"Wudang Sect, Elder Zhao Hong."

He did not treat Chen Baoan as a child and extended his hand naturally.

"Chen Baoan."

The two hands were tightly clasped together, as if the forces of two different eras were converging at this moment.

"I believe that from Qing Yan's words, you have already understood your mission."

"Of course, I will follow your instructions on what to do."

Chen Baoan and Zhao Hong walked side by side on the main street of the capital.

"It's actually very simple. Just take the imperial examination and then climb up step by step."

"Wudang's influence is widespread, and there are many of them in the officialdom, so you don't have to worry about not being reused. You just need to improve your knowledge."

Chen Baoan wrote all of this down. After all, this represented the future of his village and he had to take it seriously.

"Then why don't you just give me the test paper?"

"That's easy to say. If the officialdom is really dominated by our Wudang family, do we still need you to come?"

Zhao Hong rolled his eyes at Chen Baoan.

"So, it's because of the chaos within Wudang?"

Chen Baoan knew the influence of Wudang. Although it was not so powerful as to cover the sky with one hand, it was not much different.

"Did Qingyan tell you even this? It seems like he trusts you a lot."

Zhao Hong sighed.

"Well, I heard from the village chief that Wudang's wanted list hasn't been updated for a long time."

"If it was in the past, with an update once a month, it could have lasted a while longer, but recently a madman appeared."

"It seems like it was born for killing. I don't know if it's a human or a monster. It's been madly brushing the list, and even the wanted list that Wudang originally had in reserve has been cleared."

"Today is the last one."

Zhao Hong showed a look of regret.

"Isn't that telling the world about the chaos within Wudang?"

Chen Baoan said in a deep voice.

The discontinuation of the Wudang Wanted List will surely alert those who are interested that something is wrong with Wudang.

From Qing Yan he learned that in order to allow humans and demons to coexist peacefully, Wudang had offended many forces, especially the Taoist Alliance!

Therefore, I am afraid that this time the chaos in Wudang will be difficult to quell.

"Relax, Wudang has been able to stand for a hundred years, so it must have some foundation."

"It's not so bad that a kid like you needs to worry about it. You should study hard to improve your knowledge and protect your village."

Zhao Hong touched Chen Baoan’s little head and said.

Having said that, there was an inexplicable sense of desolation in his eyes.

He knew it very well, but as long as the young master was not dead, they still had hope!

‘Boom! ’

At this moment, the sky, which was originally cloudless and blue like a gem, was suddenly shrouded in darkness. In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds spread rapidly like ink, covering the entire sky.

This sudden change made everyone surprised and uneasy, except for Zhao Hong, whose eyes became slightly clearer.

"Let's go, the rain has been much heavier lately."

Seeing this situation, Chen Baoan was half-pushed and quickened his pace.

Finally, the next second when the rain started to pour down, the old and the young took refuge in Zhao Hong's tavern.

Chen Baoan remembered this place, or rather, he remembered a... monster he had seen here before?

'Crash...'

Looking at the rain pouring down like a waterfall outside the window, Chen Baoan frowned slightly, and a hint of worry and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.

This rain doesn't seem to fall naturally.

"Relax, I don't know what the weather is like recently, it rains every now and then, you'll get used to it."

Zhao Hong's voice came from inside.
