The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Just as he was immersed in great joy, he suddenly heard a lady's hysterical questioning.

"It's all because of you, you vixen, that my son was harmed."

Then, Mrs. Fang was seen being helped over by Mr. Fang, and it was Mrs. Fang who spoke.

Bai Yao looked closely and was surprised to realize that she had returned to the Fang residence with the monk.

"What terrifying strength! He can even teleport." This was Bai Yao's truest thought at that moment.

At the same time, I was secretly worried.

"Master, this is a sign that he doesn't trust me. He's warning me that I can't escape his grasp and telling me to behave myself."

Bai Yao's excitement vanished instantly. She had forgotten that she had only met him once, and he was not yet trustworthy enough to trust her.

At the same time, I secretly resolved to obediently follow the Dharma Master's arrangements.

Soon, Madam Fang and Mr. Fang walked up to them, their faces full of indignation.

When Madam Fang and Master Fang heard from the servants that the fox demon had returned to the mansion and the sorcerer had gone to chase after it, the two elders decided to stay in their son's room and wait for the sorcerer to return.

The two elderly people had only been sitting on their son's bed for a short while when a sorcerer and a very beautiful woman with fox-like eyes that added a touch of allure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling the two elders.

After being stunned for a while, he realized that the sorcerer must have been highly skilled and had captured the fox demon, and the woman next to him was the fox demon.

Enraged, Madam Fang disregarded all propriety and shouted, striding towards the fox demon as if she wanted to tear it apart.

"Please calm down, benefactor. This fox demon is not the murderer."

Seeing Madam Fang's angry expression, Miaolian immediately spoke up to explain.

"what?"

Mrs. Fang's angry face froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.

She and the old man Fang, who was supporting her, both exclaimed in surprise.

Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What...what's going on, Master!"

"Master Fang asked."

Bai Yao, with her keen observation, explained it herself.

“Master Fang and Madam Fang, Bai Yao is a fox demon, but she has never harmed Young Master Fang. Young Master Fang is Bai Yao’s savior. Bai Yao was saving him.”

"this…"

This unexpected reversal left Mr. and Mrs. Fang completely bewildered.

"A savior?"

Mrs. Fang asked in confusion.

"Yes, Madam, do you remember the injured white fox that you and Young Master Fang rescued fifteen years ago?"

As Bai Yao spoke, Madam Fang seemed lost in memories before replying.

“That’s right. I remember that time I took my youngest son to the temple to burn incense. The sky, which was originally clear, suddenly became covered with dark clouds and thunder roared, but it cleared up again after only a few breaths.”

“My youngest son was playful and ran away. I chased after him with the servants and found him holding an injured white fox.”

“My youngest son insisted on saving it. I think it might be fate. We happened to be at a temple to pray for blessings, and I saw that the white fox was also alive. So I found someone to treat it and brought it to the temple to be cared for by the monks.”

Mrs. Fang finished recounting her memories.

He glanced at the fox demon again and asked.

"Are you the white fox?"

Bai Yao smiled kindly.

"That white fox is Bai Yao. Back then, Bai Yao cultivated for a thousand years. She only needed to pass the tribulation of lightning to transform into human form."

"That day, Bai Yao was undergoing her tribulation and was struck by lightning. Fortunately, she later met Young Master Fang. It was Young Master Fang's magic jade pendant that helped Bai Yao escape the tribulation and healed her injuries."

Bai Yao was very grateful, so she set a spell on Young Master Fang's magic jade pendant so that she could arrive in time to save him if he was in danger, thus repaying Young Master Fang's kindness.

"Oh, I see. I was a bit rude."

Mrs. Fang also looked embarrassed, realizing that she had questioned others without understanding the situation.

Bai Yao's expression softened. Madam Fang was, in a sense, her savior, and her tone softened as well.

"Madam Fang loves her son dearly, and Bai Yao understands that. Madam, there's no need to blame yourself."

Madam Fang repeatedly agreed, but suddenly thought of her son's situation. Although she knew the other party wouldn't harm her, it was still a demon after all, and she was still somewhat wary. So she cautiously inquired.

"Then, my son..."

After Bai Yao finished eating, Madam Fang wanted to ask her something, so she told her the whole story, omitting the part about the Ancient Kiln Madam that she had mentioned to Master Miaolian. She picked and chose, and then told her the key things again.

The misunderstanding has now been cleared up.

Mrs. Fang felt both happy and ashamed.

She was overjoyed that the good deed she and her son had done to save the white fox years ago had now actually saved her son's life.

I am ashamed that I did not understand the situation and was blinded by anger, which caused me to be disrespectful in front of my son's benefactor.

"Alas, I am so grateful to Miss Bai for saving my son. Otherwise, he would probably be a cold corpse by now."

Hearing Mr. Fang's heartfelt thanks, Bai Yao responded gracefully.

"This is all what Bai Yao should do. Young Master Fang saved my life, and I dare not forget it. However, my cultivation is still shallow, and I was able to save you from danger in time."

"If it weren't for Miss Bai's timely rescue, my son probably wouldn't have lived to see Master Miaolian arrive. But Master, what should we do about my son's condition?"

Master Fang then steered the conversation back to his son, asking Miaolian what method she could use to retrieve his lost soul.

"On the night of the full moon on the fifteenth, demonic power is at its strongest. The cat demon must know this. Master Fang has invited demon hunters to his door several times, and it was injured. It will not be reckless and will definitely choose to come and take away the remaining soul of Young Master Fang on the fifteenth. We just need to wait."

“Very well! I will follow Master Miaolian’s arrangements. I entrust my son’s life to the Master.”

After Mr. Fang finished speaking, he bowed to Miaolian.

Miaolian helped him up, glanced at Bai Yao beside her, and then said.

"Tomorrow, I will take Bai Yao to the Demon Subduing Bureau to vouch for her. I will also need to heal her wounds in the next day or two. On the night of the full moon, we will subdue the cat demon together and retrieve the lost soul for Young Master Lin."

Upon hearing Miaolian's words, Bai Yao immediately reacted and bowed in response.

"Bai Yao will probably be staying at your residence for a few days."

"I'm not bothering you. It's already a great blessing that Miss Bai can help. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!"

He then instructed the servants to prepare a room, and the steward also wisely arranged for Bai Yao to stay in the place closest to Miao Lian and Fang Wuyou.

After finishing all this, Master Fang and Madam Fang went back to their room to rest. Miao Lian asked Bai Yao to protect him while she herself helped Fang Wuyou dispel the demonic energy.

Afterwards, he gave Bai Yao a healing pill and told her to go back and rest, then he returned to his room.

Back in her room, Miaolian sent messages to her senior uncles and brothers, telling them everything about the Ancient Kiln Lady and her plans.

After finishing, he meditated alone in his room.
