Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The little black cat shook its head: "What a pity, the heart is red. I thought it would be black."

"Great Immortal, I was wrong, please spare me... If you spare me, I'll do anything..."

The man's crying was awful. 250 frowned and said with disgust, "Disgusting. You should die too."

"Ah-"

Having witnessed two people turn into pieces and enter the snake's belly, 250 finally returned to report.

These days, killing bad guys is definitely not something to be taken lightly.

Smoke rose from the foot of the mountain, where a group of students were gathered around several barbecue grills.

"I want to eat grilled chicken wings. I like grilled chicken wings."

"Self-reliance leads to abundance."

"Hey, what's wrong with you helping me out?"

Gu Yuning was surrounded by several close classmates. He wasn't picky about food; when he was with his master on the mountain, he ate simple meals.

Before his master left, he entrusted him to Principal Zhang. In this way, he became the first student to take the self-study exam for the demon-catching major at the Imperial Academy of Heaven.

Everyone else had earned their places through the proper examinations, so they naturally didn't give him a friendly look, since he was someone who came halfway through.

"Brother Ning, it's rare for us to get out, how about we have a drink?" Zhang Xiao opened a can of beer for him.

Xie Yuan, who was standing nearby, also said, "Yes, yes, don't think about anything else, eat meat. This is a chicken leg that Xiao Bu grilled, it's for you."

Ouyang Bu glared at him: "Xie Xiaoyuan, don't go too far. If I'm going to give it to someone, I'll do it myself. Who needs you to use my money to give to someone else?"

He then took a few skewers of lamb and placed them in front of Gu Yuning: "Brother Ning, eat these, they're delicious."

Gu Yuning sighed: "I'm really fine. You guys can go have fun if you want. It's a rare opportunity for a get-together."

As he spoke, he picked up a can of beer and started drinking.

Zhang Xiao is Principal Zhang's youngest son. After his master took him down the mountain, they stayed at Principal Zhang's house and became acquainted.

Actually, I met him when I was a child, and we even went to play in the mountains together.

Unexpectedly, it was his master who came down the mountain again...

Gu Yuning took a few skewers of chicken wings and grilled them himself. He prefers a light flavor, so he just added some oil and salt and grilled them until they were cooked.

"Zhang Xiao, come here, over here..."

Someone called out from over there, and Zhang Xiao said something to Gu Yuning and then left.

Xie Yuan said he needed to go to the toilet, but he didn't dare go alone, so he pulled Ouyang Bu away with him.

"嘤嘤......"

As soon as the person left, a soft whimpering sound came from the bushes not far away.

Gu Yuning frowned. He looked around. There was no demonic aura on the mountain during the day. Could it be some little demon from somewhere?

Ignoring it, the pitiful voice came again.

"Eek~~"

Is he injured?

Feeling a bit irritated, I wanted to cover my ears, but my hands wouldn't obey me and I put the roasted chicken wings on a plate to the side.

He got up and walked towards the bushes; the closer he got, the louder the sound became.

"Woo~~"

Gu Yuning parted the grass and met a pair of large, tearful eyes filled with grievance.

The pair of red fox ears drooped, and it looked up at her slightly, making soft whimpering sounds, which made Gu Yuning's heart skip a beat.

Is this... a fox?

"Woo..."

The little fox whimpered again, and Gu Yuning looked closely and found that its hind leg seemed to be injured.

"Are you a little fox from the mountains or a domesticated one?" Gu Yuning asked a little fox a question, whether he had been drinking or not.

I laughed as soon as I asked the question.

He didn't detect any demonic energy on the little fox, so it was just an ordinary little fox.

"Woooo..."

The little fox was still whimpering, probably because its wounds were too painful and it could no longer walk, or perhaps it had been abandoned by its fox pack.

Can I take you home?

Gu Yuning tentatively reached out to touch the little fox. When touched by a stranger, the little fox only flinched slightly and did not resist.

"You're injured. I'll take you home to get treatment, and I'll let you come back when you're better."

Unsure whether the little fox could understand human speech, Gu Yuning still spoke.

The little fox still didn't resist, as if it had found warmth, and nestled obediently in his arms, its ears twitching.

"Hey? Brother Ning, what brings you out here?" Zhang Xiao's voice came from behind.

Gu Yuning carried the little fox back and took out a coat from her bag to wrap it up.

"This is... a little fox?"

Zhang Xiao's eyes widened. He had tried to catch demons before, but he had mostly caught small demons that harmed people. This was the first time he had ever seen a fox like this.

"You captured a fox demon?" the person who came with Zhang Xiao asked in surprise.

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes: "How can someone at the intermediate level of Yellow rank say such a thing?"

Only then did the man realize that the little fox had no demonic aura whatsoever. He chuckled and scratched his head, "Haha, sorry, I had a bit to drink and made a mistake."

Gu Yuning ignored them, packed some food and raw chicken wings, and said, "My little fox is injured and has to go back first. You don't need to worry about me, keep playing."

"Oh? You're leaving? Then I'll see you off..."

Zhang Xiao wanted to offer to take him home, but Gu Yuning said, "No need, I've already taken a taxi. Goodbye."

He slung his bag over his shoulder, turned, and left, leaving Zhang Xiao watching helplessly.

"How could he be like that? He has no manners at all," Chen Guan, who was next to Zhang Xiao, complained.

Zhang Xiao immediately frowned, her smile fading slightly: "That's just his personality. He didn't ask you to hang out with him. You're being too nosy."

He turned and went to find others on his own. Chen Guan quickly chased after him, saying, "No, I just feel sorry for you. You treat him as a friend, but he seems to..."

“We’ve known each other since we were kids, you don’t need to point fingers at me.” Zhang Xiao’s voice was a little louder, and everyone looked over.

"What's wrong? Oh, it's nothing, don't argue." Someone came to mediate.

Gu Yuning, who had already boarded the bus, was unaware of these things, and perhaps even if she did, she wouldn't care.

As the vehicle approached the vicinity of Imperial Capital College, in front of a rental apartment, Gu Yuning got out of the car carrying clothes.

As the vehicle drove away, Gu Yuning lifted a corner of the clothes in his arms, and the little fox immediately stared at him.

Gu Yuning raised an eyebrow: "Can ordinary foxes understand human speech?"

Before getting on the bus, he told the little fox not to make a sound, or the driver would throw it off the bus. The little fox behaved well and kept quiet the whole way.

Gu Yuning strongly suspected that this was a little fox that could understand human speech.

It's not a fox demon, yet it can understand human speech. Could this little fox really be a pet?

The little fox stared at him without saying a word until they entered the residential area and went upstairs back to the house that Gu Yuning had rented.

The house isn't big; it's just one bedroom, one living room, a small kitchen, a balcony, and a bathroom.

Akahoshi looked around and saw that there was only one room. Her eyes darted around, and she felt a little happy.

Her coat was pulled off, and under the light, Chi Xing was once again pulled onto Gu Yuning's lap.

The boy's voice was gentle: "I'll treat your wound. It might hurt a little, but if you dare to bite me, I'll stew fox meat for you tonight."

The little fox seemed to understand, its ears twitched, and it buried its head in Gu Yuning's arms, too afraid to come out.
