Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Supreme Immortal Path (11)
 

A certain forested mountain.

Xi Lan’s complexion was pale as she nestled in Qing Xiao’s embrace, while the others stood around them, each with a solemn expression.

“Why would Superior God Chuzheng help that fierce beast?”

Unable to endure the silence, someone suddenly bellowed in anger.

To think that, as a being from the Divine Realm, one would actually side with a fierce beast, consorting with it!

“Will you speak up?”

“Say what?” an impatient immortal said.

What could they say?

Who knew why Superior God Chuzheng had suddenly decided to side with the fierce beast.

“The Black Fox has already emerged; everyone should think about how to deal with this matter instead.”

“If he could come out, isn’t it because of Superior God Chuzheng? I always felt that the seal was broken too quickly. If someone was aiding from the outside, then everything could be explained.”

Xi Lan’s gaze darkened slightly.

She buried her face in Qing Xiao’s chest and refused to look at anyone.

“What’s wrong?” Qing Xiao asked with concern.

“It’s nothing…” Xi Lan weakly shook her head.

She needed to figure out a way to separate from them quickly.

The Black Fox had just broken through the seal; its power should be weakened…

The discussing group quickly came up with a plan. A party spread out to search for the Black Fox; if they found any trace, they would not act rashly but notify the rest.

Another group was dispatched to the Divine Realm for reinforcements.

Qing Xiao asked Xi Lan to return to the Divine Realm.

Xi Lan agreed, but midway, she parted ways with the others.

She had to find the Black Fox before them.

Rustle rustle rustle…

The bushes shook, and Xi Lan looked over to see a youth emerging from them.

Upon seeing someone, he froze, then immediately turned to run.

However, he hadn’t taken two steps before his body suddenly became immobile, and then uncontrollably, he started moving backward.

Someone grasped his neck, and he saw the woman’s face, gentle as water.

“Little guy, why are you running from me?” the woman’s voice was also gentle—if not for the fact that she was choking him, he wouldn’t feel this woman was dangerous at all.

Hen Sheng’s complexion grew increasingly terrible.

“Tell big sister, where is that woman you were following just now?”

“I… I don’t know,” Hen Sheng said with difficulty.

“Hmm?” Xi Lan’s grip tightened: “How could you not know? Weren’t you following her?”

“I… really… don’t know…” Hen Sheng’s breathing was labored as he gazed in horror at the gently smiling woman before him.

“If you don’t tell, big sister might get angry,” she said.

Xi Lan’s expression slowly darkened.

Hen Sheng shook his head.

He didn’t know.

He really didn’t know.

As Xi Lan observed Hen Sheng, not seeming to lie, her beautiful eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing in them: “Does she have a Black Fox with her?”

Tears appeared in Hen Sheng’s eyes.

Still, he kept shaking his head.

“You don’t know anything?” Xi Lan suddenly scoffed: “Useless.”

Xi Lan threw him to the ground. A sword suddenly appeared in her hand, and she thrust it into his chest.

The youth’s body instantly reverted to its original form.

Xi Lan, apparently certain Hen Sheng wouldn’t survive, didn’t even consider delivering a second blow and immediately disappeared.

Hen Sheng lay on the ground, his dark eyes fixated on a spot as his life force swiftly ebbed away.

Was he going to die?

“Baaah…”

A faint cry drew back Hen Sheng’s dissipating consciousness.

Something was pushed into his mouth.

Spiritual Energy continuously flowed into his body, stemming the relentless loss of his life force.

–

“Fate works in mysterious ways; to not eat would be an offense to myself,” a familiar voice rose by Hen Sheng’s ear, and before he could open his eyes, the first thing he felt was a terrifying presence.

With a start, his eyes snapped open.

He was met with a pair of fiery red pupils.

The black fox stood on his chest, mouth wide open, revealing its sharp fangs…

“Ah!”

Hen Sheng screamed in fright.

Then someone picked up Black Fox, “I’ve told you before, you’re not allowed to eat this stuff.”

Black Fox protested, “Are you trying to starve me or what! You treacherous human, I knew you meant no good, you’re so malicious!”

Malicious?

The Good Person Card called me malicious!

Look what I’ve spoiled you into!

So Chuzheng, now ‘Malicious,’ spoke in a cool tone, “You won’t die if you don’t eat.”

Black Fox grinded his teeth, “I’m hungry!”

“Just endure it.” You won’t die anyway, what’s all the fuss about. Chuzheng stuffed an Immortal Spirit Leaf into his mouth, “Eat some grass.”

Black Fox was bitterly trying to spit it out.

Making him eat grass every day!

Eating grass, eating grass, eating grass!

He was about to turn green!

Before he could spit it out completely, he thought better of it; he had to recover quickly.

Only then could he teach this shameless human a good lesson.

So Black Fox, fuming, chewed the Immortal Spirit Leaf as if it were Chuzheng.

Hen Sheng found his little brother also by his side, the whole sheep was circled into a ball, shivering in terror.

He quickly hugged his little brother tight.

Watching Chuzheng with lingering fear… holding Black Fox in her arms.

Little Fox was angry, chewing with extra force, eyes fierce.

Hen Sheng felt as though he was chewing on his own bones, shivering along with his little brother.

[Main quest: Please spend twenty Immortal Spirit Leaves within two hours.]

Chuzheng: “…”

In the wilderness!

Where do you expect me to spend it?

Chuzheng glanced towards Hen Sheng, holding the little lamb.

However, Chuzheng overestimated Hen Sheng; he had nothing on him.

“M… Master,” Hen Sheng swallowed hard, fear and terror hidden in his eyes, “I… I ran into… someone before, seemed to be looking for you and this… Lord Black Fox…”

“I didn’t tell her, I didn’t say anything,” Hen Sheng added hastily.

The people from Divine Realm? It was normal for them to look for her since she took this Little Fox with her.

Chuzheng asked him, “What did she look like?”

Hen Sheng: “It was… the woman we met outside Wanwu Inn last time.”

Chuzheng: “Xi Lan.”

Hen Sheng thought for a moment, outside Wanwu Inn, that man seemed to call her Xi Lan.

That damn Xi Lan is after me, definitely for Little Fox.

She’s coveting my Good Person Card.

Must be taken care of!

Absolutely must be taken care of!

Chuzheng glanced at his body, “Did he cause your wounds?”

Hen Sheng nodded, lifting his head, “Did you save me, Master?”

“No.”

Chuzheng denied it.

Indeed, it hadn’t been her.

Before Hen Sheng came around, she had just arrived here.

Little Fox had rushed over to start eating, and she had… just managed to stop him.

Hen Sheng felt disappointed; wasn’t it Master who saved him?

He looked at the little brother shivering in his arms.

That cry he faintly heard wasn’t his imagination.

“Do you know where there is a Demon Sprite nearby?” In the wilderness, Chuzheng couldn’t just throw money at a tree, she had to find a Demon Sprite.

“A demon?” Hen Sheng instinctively looked towards Xue Yuan.

Is… is it Master, want to find food for Lord Black Fox?

Chuzheng nodded seriously, “Do you know or not?”

Xue Yuan, licking her little paws, noticed Hen Sheng’s gaze, turned her fiery red eyes over, and snorted coldly with disdain.

Hen Sheng lowered his head in panic.

“I… know,” Hen Sheng stammered, “There’s a Great Demon near here.”

“Take me there,” Chuzheng motioned with her hand.
