Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

"Are you sure?"

Dongfang Guyue asked tentatively.

Lan nodded.

"Hahaha, you want to eat candied haws? I really can't do anything about you."

His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of passers-by around him.

Lan frowned slightly, it seemed that this was not the same thing they were talking about just now.

Moreover, this feeling of being stared at by passers-by... is extremely uncomfortable!

Lan did not resist and was picked up by Dongfang Guyue and slowly walked towards a small vendor selling candied haws.

"Selling candied haws, big and delicious candied haws."

The small vendor shouted loudly, and Dongfang Guyue saw this and took out an ingot of silver.

"I want all of this."

Seeing this, the vendor took a deep breath. Ah! That was the smell of money.

Dongfang Gu Yue is a genius among the Eastern Spirit Clan, and he brought a lot of silver with him.

"Okay, okay, good luck to you, young master!"

As the peddler said this, he took the silver ingot and ran away, jumping as he ran. This ingot of silver was enough to support his small family for a year.

This behavior caused many people around to whisper.

"Whose young master is this?"

"You spend a silver ingot every time you make a move. Are you so generous?"

"Hey, I just saw him taking out a big bag of silver in a drugstore!"

Although this is Fengbang City, everyone knows that wealth should not be shown to others.

Even the richest children from noble families would bargain with each other when doing business.

After all... the world is in chaos, with robbers and bandits running rampant.

Since the death of the first leader of the Demon Alliance, the divine fortune teller, two hundred years ago, the relationship between the Demon Alliance and the Taoist Alliance has become more complicated.

It has been a long time since monsters and Taoist priests appeared in the world's sight.

"Five."

Lan said beside Dongfang Gu Yue that just now, five pairs of eyes were looking at Dongfang Gu Yue with displeasure.

Lan's combat intelligence told him that these guys were acting as hunters in this town, treating him and Dongfang Guyue as prey.

After all, intruding into someone else's territory is just... the law of the jungle, and the hunter must always be prepared to become the prey!

"Five? I guess if we start fighting, there will be more than enough people."

Dongfang Guyue was carrying a display stand of candied haws and walking with Lan.

The two figures, one big and one small, seem to be in perfect harmony.

Lan also understood Dongfang Gu Yue's intention.

Deliberately acting ostentatiously, making loud noises, and exposing financial resources is done in order to invite the wolf into the house.

They were targeted by robbers, the robbers were in the dark while they were in the light.

It’s not easy to fight, but the noise just now attracted attention, probably from those robbers.

Once you notice their gaze, it is no longer a battle between light and dark.

Now they were going to the inn. Checking in under the sight of everyone would make it clear to the hunters that the prey was here.

In this way, there is no need to be on guard all the time, just wait.

"The one in charge, one room upstairs!"

Another ingot of silver was auctioned off, and the changing faces never stopped.

Along the way, Lan finally realized that money is very important!

With a creak, the window in the room was gently pushed open, and the sunlight shone through the glass onto the floor, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Outside the window, the streets of Fengbang City were bustling with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

Looking out the window, you can see the dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street, with all kinds of signs and banners fluttering in the wind.

There is also a ginkgo tree planted next to it, adding a bit of beauty to it all.

"Wait until dark?"

Lan looked out the window at the busy people coming and going, as if they were adapting to this new world.

After waiting for no response, Lan turned around.

Dongfang Guyue was seen falling asleep with a string of candied haws in his mouth.

That’s right. After all, he was injured. He just forced Lan to walk to the inn. He must be exhausted.

Seeing this, Lan slowly walked forward and covered his back with the quilt.

"Quack, quack." Dongfang Gu Yue's saliva gushed out like a spring, trickling down and forming a swamp.

Seeing this, Lan frowned slightly.

"So dirty..."

He muttered to himself.

However, this red fruit is covered with something else, and it seems to be edible.

He just thought that Dongfang Guyue bought this just to attract attention, but now it seems that he likes it.

Lan stared at the bunches of fruits on the shelf and swallowed involuntarily.

The tempting amber color, crystal clear and charming luster on the outside make people want to taste it.

Good! Let’s try it!

Lan quickly took a string and put it into his mouth.

The taste of candied haws is sour and sweet, and it is like a sweet adventure. The outer layer is actually a sugar coating, and the fruit inside is sweet and sour. Every chew is like dancing on the taste buds.

This made Lan, who only ate raw meat and grilled meat, unable to stop.

New things in a new world, so wonderful!

"Delicious."

Lan covered his mouth, his pupils dilated. This was simply the most delicious thing in the world.

"Yin Yue... Yin Yue... you... must be waiting for me..."

Lan became alert instantly, dropped the half-eaten candied haws, gathered his sharp blade and prepared for fighting.

Then he realized that this was Dongfang Gu Yue talking in his sleep, and slowly let down his guard.

. . . . . .

That night, thunder started to rumble in the sky, like a speeding train.

Announcing the arrival of something.

In the inn, Dongfang Gu Yue was awakened by the thunder and stood up and rubbed his mouth.

His mouth is numb from having been holding a candied haws in his mouth.

"Hmm? Where's that guy Lan?"

Dongfang Guyue didn't see Lan, so he stood up to look for him, only to discover that all the candied haws on his shelf had disappeared.

"Haha, this guy still looks a bit like a child, doesn't he?"

Although the candied haws that he spent a lot of money to buy were eaten up, Gu Yue was not as angry as he had imagined, but rather felt a little relieved.

After all, after spending these days together, he discovered that this guy Lan was even more mature than some other old monsters. Even though he was a monster, Gu Yue was still absolutely and somewhat sad.

Some birds have been kept in cages since birth, so they have never seen the grandeur and vastness of the outside world, just like he once did.

"Lan? Lan?? Lan!"

Dongfang Guyue called Lan's name, wondering where he had gone.

At this moment, a hand covered Gu Yue's shouting mouth.

"Enemy attack?! It's over! Lan is not here! Has he been killed?"

Dongfang Gu Yue, whose mouth was covered, was shocked at first, and then felt a chill.

"Hush! It's me!"

When the cold voice sounded, Gu Yue's shock turned into surprise.

"Lan?!"

Lan nodded, he inserted the sharp blade that appeared into the ceiling and hid himself above it.

In this way, even if the enemy launches a sneak attack, the first thing they will see is Dongfang Guyue lying on the bed, so he will have enough time to launch a surprise attack.

This doesn't mean that Lan can't beat them, but he just needs to be vigilant.

"Hyaku! They are coming."

Lan made a gesture to keep quiet. It was extremely quiet at night, so some sounds that were not obvious before would be amplified.

'Tread, step, step, step'

There were some messy footsteps, which were deliberately hidden, but in this night as calm as the surface of the water, a small stone could cause quite a stir.

"Five? Seven?"

Lan thought to himself, there are a lot of people, but they are all ordinary people, it will be useless even if more come!

Lan loosened his hand that was covering Dongfang Guyue.

"please."

Dongfang Gu Yue looked at Lan's cold eyes and realized that the person below was already a corpse.

For a monster at the level of Little Demon King, beating an ordinary person is no different from stepping on an ant.

Lan slowly walked to the window, turned over and jumped.

‘Boom! ’

A sudden thunderclap covered up the sound of Lan landing.

"what!"

The last of the seven people was startled by the thunder.

"Xu! Old Seven, be quiet!"

The person walking in front made a gesture to keep quiet. Looking closely, wasn't this the person who had targeted Dongfang Guyue in the pharmacy today?

‘Wow~’

Suddenly, heavy rain fell, mixed with the sound of objects falling into the water.

"What a horrible weather! God damn it!"

The leader cursed God, and then spoke to the brothers behind him.

"Hurry up and finish it so you can go home and rest."

"Especially you, Old Seven! You're such a grown-up, yet you're still frightened by thunder."

"Hahaha."

The leader's words caused everyone to laugh at him, and at this moment, someone realized that something was wrong.

Normally, Lao Qi would have responded, but now he was unusually quiet.

"Lao Qi?"

The seventh brother, who was walking at the end, opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

‘Click! ’

Then his head rolled down, causing panic among the remaining six people.

"There are enemies! Get your weapons!"

"Old Seven!"

"Damn it! Who is it? Come out and die!"

They pulled out their machetes and swung them around in the heavy rain.

Now, they are in the light and Lan is in the dark.

‘Wow! ’

There was the sound of breaking waves, and a shark's dorsal fin made of water rushed towards them.

"What's this?!"

‘Wow! ’

A sharp blade flashed by, and another head fell to the ground.

"Lao Wu!"

'Swish, swish, swish!'

The sharp blades were waving continuously in the rainstorm, and the dew from the sky was also dyed bloody at this moment, and a bloody storm took shape.

"Monster...Monster! It's a monster!"

One of them shouted, no longer caring about brotherhood, and turned around to run away.

'Shuh! '

The sharp blade flew past, and as he ran, he saw his headless body. After running two steps, he fell to his knees and died...

Now, only the leader is left. In just a few minutes, he has experienced great ups and downs in life. Now he is crawling in the blood in a mess.

Fear had made his legs weak, and he could no longer stand. He could only try to escape from this sea of ​​blood like an animal.

Lan appeared in the rain, his body had been dyed red by blood. Fortunately, the rain cleansed his body.

He walked forward, raised his knife and slashed, and the leader was dead in an instant.

For him who is in fear, death may be a relief.

Lan acted as if he had accomplished something perfectly normal. He put away his knife and waited in the rainy night to wash the blood off his body.

Dongfang Gu Yue watched this scene quietly in the inn. When he saw Lan's calm eyes, he actually felt a hint of sadness.
