Liu Li turned into a red light and flew out of Bei Quan City. He found a clearing on the outskirts of the city and landed there.
He slowly spit out his Neidan. Liu Li floated gently on the ground, a Neidan as large as a fingernail was suspended on top of Liu Li’s head, a faint silver light surrounded the Neidan.
Smiling and closing his eyes, he let the wind mess up his hair. Lifting up his clothes, Liu Li relaxed and stretched his body to bathe in the moonlight.
Unlike human beings who can absorb the Sun’s essence, plant and animal demons cultivate solely with Yin energy. The Sun’s energy is too strong for them, so they usually only rely on absorbing the Moon’s essence to cultivate, and the full moon is undoubtedly the best time to do it.
Usually, demons will use their Neidan to take energy during a full moon, then absorb said energy for a month to improve their cultivation.
Gradually, Liu Li’s Neidan started revolving in a sequence, Liu Li let his Neidan absorb energy by itself, and he faced the moon with his own thoughts.
To find his sister Liu Ling, Liu Li wandered in the human world for more than a year. Since young, he’s heard of how dangerous the human world is from his elders, but there are still many of the same kind who run away from the mountain. Demons are deeply attracted to the prosperity and splendor of the human world, Liu Ling was one of them.
Animal cultivation generally takes 500 years to form a human body, and another 500 years to solidify it. According to the Red Fox Clan rules, after cultivating for a thousand years, you can choose to stay or leave. After completing the thousand years of cultivation, Liu Li’s mischievous and cheerful sister ran away from the dense Fox Mountain while her brother was drunk.
Liu Li was drunk for half a year, only after waking up did he learn that his sister had left for many days. Liu Li became worried and started chasing after her, but no matter how he tried to contact her, Liu Ling wouldn’t respond. Liu Li doesn’t know whether she didn’t answer on purpose or that something had happened, so he didn’t have a choice but to search for her in the human world.
Liu Li has been met with trouble after trouble since he entered the human world because of his looks, the human world is too complicated and too dangerous. Liu Li was curious at first, and then was disappointed, then was disgusted, and at last, became indifferent.
‘I wonder what’s going on with my sister now…’
Liu Li sighed softly. Suddenly, An Jun Yue’s graceful figure flashed before his eyes.
‘That man, he really is special!’
An Jun Yue reads and writes every day, it stands to reason that he should be a scholar, but he seems to not want to take the imperial examinations.
An Jun Yue never lacks money, plus, there’s an elegant air around him, he looks like he should be a distinguished person, yet he can do the washing, cook, and take care of children…
Recalling An Jun Yue’s helpless and bitter smile, the corners of Liu Li’s lips lit up.
Actually, there were times when he purposely bullied Qing Ran, making him cry and tossing him to An Jun Yue. After that, he only needed to watch An Jun Yue innocently to not get blamed.
He even intentionally bathed and dressed Qing Ran up poorly, and made Qing Ran uncomfortable. The little brat himself knew to call ‘dad’ for help.
An Jun Yue got more and more uncomfortable letting him take care of Qing Ran, he gradually took everything onto himself, he said he just has to ‘eat with, play with, sleep with’. He even said that he was Qing Ran’s ‘three withs’...
Don’t know why, but An Jun Yue seems to smile more brightly when saying this.
How has it been since he was this happy?
Back then he playfully and noisily cultivated along with companions, it was so simple to be happy, but when he entered the human world, he seemed to not have fun anymore.
Just follow An Jun Yue around, he probably won’t refuse, he said he wants to go to Beijing to settle down, there’s no set destination anyway, might as well go to Beijing with him first.
A lonely smile suddenly appeared on Liu Li’s face.
‘Can he really be trusted? Can he really be regarded as a friend? If he knew about his identity as a fox demon…’
“Bold demon!”
The sudden loud shout infused with a Buddhist’s power jolted Liu Li out of his thoughts, he looked back in surprise, only to be met with a golden Buddha light shooting towards the Neidan on top of his head!
Liu Li was shocked, amidst the danger of fighting off another, he hurriedly retracted his Neidan into his body and carefully dodged the blow. But the Neidan filled with the Moon’s powerful energy instantly overfilled Liu Li’s body, making his body ache a lot. He barely managed to suppress the Moon energy with demon force, Liu Li painfully spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Liu Li angrily looked at the man flying towards him, clothed in old dark monk clothes with Jieba against his bald head, a terribly thin and ugly middle-aged monk!
“That shameless bald donkey even dares to attack!”
Liu Li was inwardly cautious, this monk has such high Buddhism cultivation!
“Humph! Killing demons and monsters is my duty!”
The monk raised the monk staff and struck Liu Li’s head, Liu Li held back the pain. He spit out his Neidan and formed it into a sword to attack, but the power contained in the monk staff still shook him away.
Liu Li knew that he was badly injured and could not match with the monk, so he took advantage of the power and fled towards Bei Quan City.
“Demon, where are you running?!”
The monk chased him closely.
“Damn!”
Liu Li cursed in a low voice, he angrily released all of the Moon’s energy that was suppressed by the demon forces in his Neidan, gathered it into a ball of light, and shot it towards the monk.
The monk felt that the ball of light was strong, he didn’t dare to drag along. Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, he hurriedly stopped himself and cast a protection spell.
After it exploded, the monk rushed out of the smoke, but Liu Li was already long gone.
“Fox demon, I, Zhi Guang will never let you go!”
Liu Li awkwardly flew back to the courtyard, not wanting to alarm the next door An Jun Yue, he held in the pain and walked back to his room. Quietly closing the door, Liu Li staggered onto the bed.
Liu Li lay on the bed in the dark, panting violently under the covers. He didn’t want to be seen by An Jun Yue, he didn’t want to be hated…
Demon!
In the dark, An Jun Yue abruptly opened his eyes, he got up and set a guard on Qing Ran next to him, and then quickly swept past the door. Feeling that the demon’s aura was getting stronger, An Jun Yue circulated power to his eyes, he looked through the door into the outside corridor.
Liu Li?
An Jun Yue frowned a little, looking at Liu Li’s pained face, he knew that his wounds were severe. An Jun Yue didn’t move, by the way Liu Li is acting, he probably doesn’t want his identity to be exposed...
An Jun Yue turned back to the bed when Liu Li closed the door. Looking at Qing Ran sleeping soundly, An Jun Yue caringly wiped away the drool from his mouth.
‘Qing Ran, your ‘mom’ isn’t a normal person...’
