Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

No, does a fox demon really have that ability?

Akahoshi, he...

Whenever Gu Yuning thought of Chi Xing's bewitching face, she couldn't associate him with a strange-looking monster.

At least, he had never seen such a beautiful demon in his entire life.

Of course, no one has ever seen anyone so beautiful.

After taking a quick shower and changing her clothes, Gu Yuning added some fox food and water, then slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out.

He carried books and pens in his bag, a habit he had when going to school.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After knocking several times, the door finally opened from the inside.

The boy, still sleepy-eyed, with long red hair cascading down his back, wearing a white T-shirt and holding a book and pen, greeted Gu Yuning:

"Ayu, you're up so early?"

The person as beautiful as in her dreams was now standing in front of her. Gu Yuning turned her head and her Adam's apple bobbed.

"You have a major class later, so you can't be late. Are you ready?"

Akahoshi nodded, walked out the door, and then turned to close it.

Her long hair was blown by the wind and fell onto Gu Yuning's face, making the woody scent even stronger.

He couldn't help but reach out, and the smooth, long hair slipped through his fingertips and fell back down.

Akahoshi handed over the book and pen in her hand, her voice lazy as if she had just woken up: "Hold these for me, I need to tie my hair."

Gu Yuning took the book from his hand and watched him tie his hair with the white rubber band on his wrist.

Those scarlet eyes were now a little watery, like jewels that were hard to look away from.

A soft laugh drifted on the wind: "Ayu, what are you standing there for? You're going to be late."

Gu Yuning realized he had been standing there, staring blankly at the other person's back. He quickly followed and suddenly noticed something.

At 1.77 meters tall, he seemed a little shorter than Akahoshi, about half a head shorter.

"You live alone?" Gu Yuning asked casually, as if it were a normal conversation.

Akahoshi replied casually, "Yeah, I'm all alone now, but it's okay, I can take care of myself."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuning felt ashamed, wondering what kind of conversation she had brought up.

"Feel sorry."

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's all in the past, I'm doing fine now." Akahoshi laughed carefree, as if he really didn't care.

However, it was precisely this attitude that made Gu Yuning feel even more heartbroken, as if her heart was being squeezed by a hand, causing her great discomfort.

Having parents is different from never having parents. If you have never felt warmth, you won't know how painful it is to be cold.

Just like Gu Yuning, Chen Shanhui's family were all strangers. The only family he had was his master, and now that his master was gone, he had no family left.

After descending the mountain, Gu Yuning was in great distress, not only because she had to face an unfamiliar life, but also because of the passing of her master.

"If you need anything in the future, you can contact me. I also live alone in this area, so don't worry about bothering me."

“Yes, Ayu is the first friend I made here.” Chixing smiled brightly, turning her head to look at Gu Yuning with a smile, her eyes full of him.

Gu Yuning's heart skipped a few beats again. As an adult, Gu Yuning knew what this meant.

Even if he didn't know before, he understood at this moment.

But Akahoshi was referring to friends.

How can we just be friends?

The afternoon classes were professional courses. The first-year courses were very simple, learning the most basic talisman drawing. Yellow talismans are the most basic thing for catching demons.

Gu Yuning can draw talismans in the air, and the sword his master gave him can also subdue monsters. In fact, he has many more secrets, which are his special skills. Uncle Zhang said that he should also hide his talents at school.

Therefore, while everyone else was diligently drawing talismans, Gu Yuning also used the newly distributed yellow paper to trace the talismans on the blackboard.

As the teacher passed by him, she couldn't help but look at him for a while, nodding with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, that's it, this student is very good."

When other people looked over, Zhang Xiao whispered to Xie Yuan, "See? I told you Brother Ning was amazing."

According to the information he overheard, his brother Ning was at least at the lower level of the Xuan rank.

Demon hunters are ranked into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, with each level further subdivided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

In modern times, where spiritual energy is scarce, most demon hunters can only reach the upper level of the Yellow rank even after a lifetime of hard work.

Only a few powerful figures can reach the threshold of the upper-middle level of the Xuan level, and his master's uncle, Gu Ye, who is Gu Yuning's master, is the upper level of the Xuan level.

The Chen family head, Chen Shanhui, and the heads of the Ouyang, Xie, and Xu families are all at the middle level of the Xuan level. Among these families, the strongest is Zhang Lin, who broke through to the upper level of the Xuan level half a year ago.

Gu Yuning is not even twenty years old yet, so it's easy to imagine that he will be more powerful than others in the future. Maybe Zhang Xiao will have to rely on Brother Ning for protection in the future.

However, Zhang Xiao didn't tell anyone about these things, not even Xie Yuan and Ouyang Bu.

Zhang Xiao and the others could naturally do basic things like drawing talismans, but if they were distracted, they might draw the strokes a little too long or too short.

It is best to draw a talisman in one stroke to make it effective, unless it is a formation talisman, but those are too difficult for them.

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, Xie Yuan accidentally drew an extra centimeter on that stroke. One centimeter was a huge mistake, ruining the entire talisman.

He glared at Zhang Xiao with displeasure, expressing his anger without saying a word.

Zhang Xiao chuckled and reassured her, "It's my fault, it's my fault."

"Then you draw it for me, this is all homework." Xie Yuan placed a yellow sheet of paper on Zhang Xiao's desk, and Zhang Xiao could only resign himself to his fate and apologize.

Chi Xing, who was in the front row, seemed to be unaccustomed to using a brush and failed to draw well several times. He looked at Gu Yuning's painting with frustration and pitiful eyes.

Looking into those clear, innocent eyes, Gu Yuning immediately thought of Xingxing at home, whose eyes were almost identical.

The thought that the red star was a fox demon flashed through my mind again.

Chixing leaned closer and whispered, "Ayu, will you teach me how to draw?"

Gu Yuning suddenly felt playful: "If you can make a nice sound, I'll teach you."

Chi Xing looked around. Everyone was discussing and practicing. He lowered his voice and whispered in Gu Yuning's ear, "Brother Yu, please help me."

"Plop-plop-"

Gu Yuning had only two words left in her mind: "It's going to kill me."

He suddenly wanted to slap himself for what he had just done. He held the calligraphy brush in his right hand and quietly pulled down the hem of his shirt with his other hand to cover up what needed to be covered.

He coughed lightly: "Here, you watch."

He dipped his brush in cinnabar and carefully drew a rune on the yellow paper.

After finishing one drawing, he looked at Akahoshi.

Akahoshi still looked innocent and shook his head, saying, "No, I didn't see clearly."

Gu Yuning understood. This guy was a poor student, but he seemed quite serious. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

I caught a glimpse of a teacher holding a student's hand, teaching them step by step.

Gu Yuning stood up, went behind Chi Xing, bent down and gently took the hand he had long wanted to hold.
