Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

"Experience, love, promise... Is this why you want to survive?"

Lan muttered to himself, and Dongfang Guyue was confused. Why did this child speak so strangely?

"Well, probably, but experience may not be the answer."

Dongfang Guyue answered tentatively.

"Then what is your reason for survival?"

Since the other party asked this question, he must be doubting the reason for his survival.

So Dongfang Gu Yue asked.

Lan shook his head upon hearing this. It seemed that he had no reason to survive.

In Longwan, only the strong are qualified to survive, but this world is unpredictable and there are no truly strong people.

Lan has lived here for more than a hundred years and has survived, but as a hunter he has long been prepared to be hunted.

Becoming stronger occupied his mind during these hundred years. When asked why he wanted to live, he couldn't think of it...

If I have to say it, it's just to live for the sake of living.

"Hiss~ Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?"

Dongfang Guyue saw Lan shaking his head and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

What is this about having no reason to live? Congenitally depressed?

"Now that you know why I want to live, what do you want to do next?"

Dongfang Gu Yue still maintains the most basic vigilance towards monsters.

After hearing this, Lan was silent for a while. Then he raised his head and looked at Dongfang Guyue with a firm gaze.

"Follow you."

Just three words. Lan didn't know what the "experience, love, and promise" were that motivated Dongfang Guyue to live.

He wanted to get these, but he didn't know how to do it, so he chose to follow Dongfang Guyue.

Dongfang Gu Yue smiled slightly when he heard this. She didn't expect this guy to be so naive.

Ever since Lan showed interest in what he said, he had been intentionally or unintentionally leading Lan to follow him to find Luo Yinyue, but he didn't expect that she would be so easily fooled.

Although it wasn't nice to treat his savior like this, he had no other choice.

There is less than half a year left before the one-year agreement between Luo Yinyue and I. Judging from the current condition of my injuries, I will definitely not be able to recover without at least half a year.

By the time my injuries were fully healed, the flowers were already cold.

Moreover, when Dongfang Gu Yue was training, he saw the darkness of the outside world. He could not use his magic power during his injury. If he was involved in any trouble, he would be doomed.

So he decided to let Lan escort him. The realm of the Little Demon King might not be a big deal in the Taoist Alliance where many experts gathered, but it was a dimensionality reduction attack when dealing with bandits and robbers.

"What's your name?"

Dongfang Guyue asked.

"Lan."

Lan is very frugal with words, and seems to keep people at a distance.

"One-word name..."

"How about this, little brother Lan? You escort me to the northwest of the human world, where there is a bamboo forest. When we get there, I will tell you what the so-called 'experience, love, and promise' are."

Dongfang Guyue suggested.

Hearing this, Lan showed a longing look on his face, but his intuition was like a loud alarm, as if reminding him that the man in front of him had evil intentions.

Silence, Lan once again fell into a dilemma of whether to follow his intuition or his heart.

"Ah."

In the end, he followed his heart.

"Ding, the matching rate has increased, and the ability has been unlocked - Breaking the Waves!"

When Xiaopei's voice sounded, Lan instantly became alert, transformed into a sharp blade and assumed a fighting stance.

"what happened?"

When Dongfang Gu Yue saw this, he secretly thought that something was wrong. Could it be that the Dongfang Ling clan had sent people to capture him again?

"Master, please don't be nervous."

Xiaopei reminded helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Lan slowly put down the sharp blade in his hand.

"fine."

Lan responded, and under Dongfang Guyue's puzzled gaze, he sat down by the fire and continued to grill the fish.

Time flies, the years pass by, the sun and the moon appear and disappear one after another, and the world changes unconsciously.

A month passed in a flash, and Dongfang Guyue's skin injuries were mostly healed and he was able to walk.

However, without herbs to treat internal injuries, the healing process would be very slow. Therefore, Dongfang Guyue planned to go to the city to look for some.

During this month, Lan has almost mastered the abilities of 'hunting' and 'breaking the waves'.

The ability of 'Hunting' is completely passively triggered. Once the target that Lan wants to hunt is injured, hunting will be triggered.

And the more seriously injured the prey is, the more obvious the improvement in hunting will be, and the injury to the prey does not necessarily have to be caused by him.

In other words, if Lan encounters a severely injured Demon King Realm expert, he is confident that he can kill him. Of course, this is just a metaphor.

"We are officially on the road this time. Is there anything else you want to bring?"

Dongfang Guyue packed up the items he wanted to take and asked Lan.

Lan shook his head.

There is nothing here worth his nostalgia. Although it is the place where he was born, it is just the place where he was born.

Dongfang Guyue’s external injuries have almost healed. There are less than four months left before the appointment with Yin Yue, so it’s time to set off.

After packing the necessary things, he finally walked out of the cave and bathed his whole body in the sunlight again, making his originally pale face look much rosier.

Although there are cracks in the cave that let in sunlight, it is not as comfortable as bathing inside.

"Where?"

Lan asked while carrying the bag on his back. Dongfang Guyue's internal injuries had not yet healed, so the luggage was all on Lan's back.

"Emmm, we are close to Tushan now. Many medicinal herbs are only sold in commercial center cities, so I want to go to Fengbang City first."

Dongfang Guyue replied.

"Um……"

Lan responded, his small figure contrasting with Dongfang Guyue's tall figure.

The strange feeling appeared in Lan's mind again, the messy fragments of memory were rearranged, and one picture after another flashed.

A young boy shuttled back and forth between the roofs, a dilapidated thatched house, a hand piercing the chest, a little girl with fox ears...

These memories were ones he had never had before, but they suddenly appeared to him, giving him a familiar feeling.

Lan knocked his head to get rid of all those random thoughts. Now he just wanted to send Dongfang Gu Yue back as soon as possible.

Then he knew what the meaning of living was. If Dongfang Gu Yue's body could not withstand long-term high-speed movement, he could have sent him there within a week.

With the ability 'Breaking Waves', he can create currents around him, moving at high speeds like he did in Dragon Bay, but this consumes more demonic energy.

If you use Breaking Waves in a river, you won't have this worry. Using Breaking Waves in a river does not consume magical power, it only consumes physical strength.

However, this amount of physical strength is nothing to a monster who specializes in physical training.

. . . . . .

After a day and night of trekking, Lan and Dongfang Guyue finally arrived at Fengbang City. The scene in front of them surprised Lan.

A magnificent city wall appeared before his eyes, like an indestructible barrier. The city wall was soaring into the sky, majestic and magnificent, as if showing its majesty and solemnity to the world.

Inside the city walls, people come and go, and the traffic is busy, creating a prosperous scene. On both sides of the street, there are shops lined up, with a dazzling array of goods that are dazzling. The vendors are enthusiastically soliciting customers, and the shouts are heard one after another, creating a lively atmosphere.

He had never seen such a noisy atmosphere before. After all, there were only a few small villages in Longwan.

"It's spectacular."

Dongfang Gu Yue had seen this before, so he didn't seem very shocked.

Seeing Lan's shocked eyes, which were the same as his own when he first came out to gain experience, he couldn't help but tease.

"Ah."

Lan responded calmly, without any emotion in his voice.

Looking at Lan's expressionless face, Dongfang Guyue couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how many years he lived, in Dongfang Guyue's eyes, he was still a child, and he had seen many monsters.

There are many people among them who have higher cultivation than him, but none of them want to be like Lan, who is so...closed-hearted.

"There is a pharmacy over there, go check it out."

Compared with the 'lifeless' Lan, the 'energetic' Dongfang Gu Yue is more like a child.

When I arrived at the pharmacy, I saw several kinds of medicinal herbs that were not available in small cities.

"Manager, I want as many angelica, saffron, and ginseng as you can get."

Dongfang Gu Yue's voice was very loud, and then he took out a heavy bag of silver.

"Oh, sir, you are so generous. I will pack it for you right away."

When the manager saw a large bag of silver being taken out, he immediately knew that this was a big customer and quickly became diligent.

Dongfang Gu Yue made a lot of noise. A fierce-looking man who was selecting herbs in the pharmacy glanced at Gu Yue, picked up a handful of Panax notoginseng and handed it to the manager.

After paying the money, he took another deep look at Dongfang Gu Yue before leaving, as if he wanted to remember her appearance deeply in his mind.

He did all this very covertly, without revealing any clues. To others, he looked no different from those people who bought herbs and left.

But in Lan's eyes, the man was very eye-catching. Lan noticed him the moment he stepped into the pharmacy.

After locking his eyes on him, Lan felt a warm current flash through his body, and 'Hunting' was triggered. The man in front of him was injured!

According to Lan's understanding of this world, that man was definitely a hunter. Coupled with the look in his eyes when he left, Lan could be sure that Dongfang Gu Yue was regarded as his prey!

Walking out of the pharmacy, Lan grabbed Dongfang Guyue's sleeve.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Because of the huge height difference, Gu Yue squatted down.

"You're being targeted."

These six words informed Dongfang Guyue of the danger she was in. Hearing this, Dongfang Guyue frowned slightly.

He had no doubt that over the past month he had already understood that Lan had a high sense of combat and danger.

In just one month, a guy who used to kill monsters on sight has become so trusting of him. I don’t know whether Lan is too easily convinced or Dongfang Gu Yue’s vigilance is too low.

However, dear readers, you should understand how vigilant Dongfang Guyue is after having everything taken away by the pig.

It's so easy to trust others.
