Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Su Mu walked out of the room and wandered around the village.

The village is very small, not very big, and the villagers I saw were all pale and thin.

Not far from the village are some fields, and some people seem to be still farming. Smoke is rising from some thatched houses, so someone must be cooking.

Su Mu watched silently, observing everything around him.

In the past, he almost always lived in Shenhuoshan Villa and had no idea about the situation in the outside world. However, judging from the situation in the village, the lives of ordinary people in this world were not very good.

Not only that, but they also have to face the threat of monsters.

"Uncle, are you the immortal master who came here today?"

A slightly childish voice sounded in my ears.

Su Mu also withdrew his gaze from a distance and fell in front of him.

A little girl, dressed in rags, thin and weak, covered in dirt, like a little beggar.

Only a pair of eyes are particularly bright.

At this moment, these bright eyes were looking at him quietly.

Su Mu was slightly stunned by the girl's bright eyes, then he reacted, squatted down slightly, and his expression softened a little:

"Yes, I am the immortal master who came to the village today."

"Master, can you please help rescue my father and mother from the monster? I miss them so much. From now on, I will eat well and be a good boy..."

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, vaguely guessing something, and was silent for a while.

At this time, some villagers also discovered this scene.

Immediately, a villager ran over and picked up the girl, bending down at the same time: "Master, please forgive me. I hope the little girl didn't offend you."

"No no."

"That's good."

The villagers visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and someone immediately took the child away.

"The child's parents..."

Su Mu asked the villagers who stayed behind.

The villager who stayed behind was a man. He should not be very old, but a hint of old age appeared on his face. When he heard Su Mu's question, he glanced at Su Mu and sighed: "The child's parents have been eaten by the wolf demon."

"So, there's no way to save him."

After hearing this, Su Mu fell silent.

"Does this happen a lot?"

Su Mu couldn't help but ask.

"With the protection of the immortal masters, such incidents are rare, but every once in a while, we always encounter some, whether it's a wolf demon or a snake demon... there are always monsters appearing..."

Su Mu listened in silence.

This is still the case in the human area, which is protected by the Taoist Alliance. It is hard to imagine what kind of life the human race leads in those wild areas, in those places without the protection of the Taoist Alliance.

This is clearly an era where there is no peace between humans and demons.

People kill monsters, and monsters also eat people. There are also kind fox monsters like the Tushan fox monster, but there are many more monsters that are cruel by nature and feed on humans.

People who practice cultivation will naturally have the ability to resist monsters.

When ordinary people face monsters, most of their endings will be miserable, and they will basically become food for the monsters.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine humans’ attitude towards monsters.

In this era, the hatred between humans and demons has long been flowing in each other's blood, which cannot be expressed in words or in detail.

At this moment, Su Mu couldn't help but think of the future. In the future, Tushan Honghong of Tushan wanted to establish an era where humans and monsters could live in harmony.

It is hard to imagine how much courage and strength one needs to have in order to single-handedly suppress the world in such a situation.

Su Mu couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the Tushan fox demon he had never seen before.

Su Mu chatted with the villagers again and gained a better understanding of ordinary people in this era.

Compared with the Dao League families, such as Tiandi Yijian and Wangquan Baiye of the Wangquan family, these Dao League nobles are no longer satisfied with the current world and have begun to explore "outside the circle" to seek the truth of this world. The lives of ordinary people are still difficult.

It is exactly what I said.

When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people also suffer.

In the end, it is still the people at the bottom of society who suffer in this world.

Noble sons of aristocratic families like Tiandi Yijian and Wang Quan Baiye of the Wang Quan family would feel compassion and help a few suffering people when they saw them, but they would not want to change anything for this reason.

These noble sons wish to explore the truth of this world and seek the secrets of "outside the circle". Finally, they choose to break through the gate of heaven and enter "outside the circle".

The result is that the most outstanding living forces of the new generation are buried outside the circle, causing the human race to suffer heavy losses again.

He shook his head and threw away the confusing thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind. These things were too far away from him now. He was just an ordinary disciple of Shenhuoshan Villa and had only a little bit of strength now.

…………

After touring the small villa, Su Mu returned to his residence in the mountain village.

On the treetop at the door of the earthen house, Dongfang Qinlan was already waiting for him.

The girl sat on the treetop, somewhat bored, her fair and round legs swaying, revealing the emerald green uppers of her shoes and the red mandarin ducks on them.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the girl's pink skirt to sway gently.

Seeing Su Mu coming back, a faint smile appeared on the girl's face.

Then, the girl put the candied haws she had just eaten behind her back without leaving any trace.

The reason for this was probably because the silly boy told her that eating too many candied haws would cause tooth decay, so he asked her to eat less, and then she didn't want the silly boy to see it.

"Where has the silly boy gone?"

Dongfang Qinlan jumped down from the treetop, and her petite body landed lightly on the ground.

"I walked around the village."

Su Mu said.

Dongfang Qinlan took a look at the village. The whole village seemed small. The surrounding buildings were basically thatched houses, revealing their simplicity and dilapidated appearance. Dongfang Qinlan didn't understand what was so interesting about visiting such a village.

"Just now, Sister Yuping and I learned detailed information about the wolf demon from the Taoist priest stationed in the village."

Dongfang Qinlan also said at the right time: "That wolf demon comes to this small village every once in a while, basically every time at night..."

"Some people have come to hunt the wolf demon, but they have never succeeded."

The girl kept on talking.

Su Mu listened carefully. He got all this information from the Taoist who greeted them at the village gate.

This Taoist priest is a garrison in the nearby area and a member of the Taoist Alliance. There are many Taoist priests like him in the human area.

He is considered the guardian of ordinary humans.

However, these Taoists are not very strong and can only deal with very weak little monsters. If the monsters are slightly stronger, they will be no match for them and can only ask for help from above.

"That monster is really abominable. If I were to encounter it, I would definitely kill it with a breath of fire."

Dongfang Qinlan puffed out her lips, with a hint of ferocity in her eyes.

"Yes, such a cruel monster really deserves to die."

Thinking of the girl he met in the village, Su Mu nodded.

…………

The day passes quickly

Night began to fall unknowingly.

The villagers closed their doors and windows early in the morning. There was hardly a single candle lit in the entire small mountain village, and everything was pitch black.

"Based on recent research, the wolf demon is likely to come tonight."

Inside the mud house, the Taoist priest spoke respectfully, looking out the window from time to time. It was pitch black outside, with the occasional sound of insects chirping, but nothing unusual.

Dongfang Yuping nodded.

Dongfang Qinlan clenched his fists slightly, with excitement in his eyes.

Su Mu silently stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist, vaguely feeling a certain bloodthirsty intent hidden in the scabbard.

He could feel the sword in his hand thirsting for blood

Just like at this moment, there is a trace of brutal murderous intent hidden deep in his heart.
