63: My first encounter with Tu Shan Yi Yi! My poor skinny little egg!
Xu Qing looked at the Fat Protector's massive body, remaining skeptical of its words.
Taiwan Novel Website has many books, ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ is super complete.
However, the Fat Protector had handled things well and was now severely injured, so he didn't bother to quibble.
Helping the Fat Protector break free from its restraints, Xu Qing used his Spirit Eye to check its condition.
Perhaps the Fox Demon Girl had attracted the attention of these humans; they only injured the Fat Protector and didn't directly kill it.
Although it was severely injured, its life was not in danger.
After a good period of recuperation and eating more spirit fruit, it would recover.
After Xu Qing confirmed that the Fat Protector was fine, he turned his head to look.
The Fox Demon Girl was exceptionally tall, at least 1.7 meters by estimation, with an excellent figure, red dress, red hair, foxy eyes, a cinnabar mole, and long, slender legs.
What stood out most was her temperament, a hint of allure hidden within her cold beauty.
Under the Spirit Eye, Xu Qing saw the girl's true form.
It was a fox demon with an entirely crimson body and five long tails.
From Tushan?
How did a fox demon from Tushan end up here?
Xu Qing's eyes flickered, sweeping over the pile of flesh in the deep pit, and a dark light shone in his eyes.
Instantly.
The soul belonging to the blue-robed Confucian Cultivator appeared.
The soul of a Middle Third Grade Cultivator retained a bit of clarity; when he was dragged out by the Soul Seizing technique, a strong fear immediately appeared on his face.
“No... don't!”
The illusory Confucian Cultivator's soul tried to struggle.
Xu Qing couldn't be bothered and swallowed it in one gulp.
Scene after scene appeared before Xu Qing.
The Confucian scholar was born into a scholarly family, studied with a great Confucian from a young age, and was later expelled from his sect for misconduct.
Later, he joined a chamber of commerce in Dagan, specializing in capturing fox demons in the mountains.
In his memories, there were many obscene things.
He had a special fondness for female demons, and his methods were extremely perverted, to the point that even Xu Qing found it hard to watch.
Xu Qing stopped looking and turned his gaze to the Fox Demon Girl not far away.
“You're from Tushan?” he asked.
Tushan Yiyi's eyes returned to emerald green. She looked at Xu Qing and nodded lightly.
“Tushan Yiyi.”
Her voice was cold and flat, carrying a hint of wariness.
She didn't know Xu Qing's identity. His strength was formidable, and her own condition was poor. If he were to attack her, she feared the outcome would be dire.
Moreover, her sister had once said that whether human or demon, as long as they were male, one must be careful!
Some males were cunning and skilled at taking advantage and then leaving, which would only bring suffering to herself.
What her sister said couldn't be wrong.
Tushan Yiyi tried to regulate her breathing, attempting to recover some magic power.
Xu Qing's eyes shimmered with light, observing Tushan Yiyi with his Spirit Eye.
Ordinary fox demons usually had only one tail.
Multi-tailed foxes like Tushan Yiyi were considered to have a special Bloodline among fox demons, and their strength was generally a bit stronger.
A special Bloodline... Tushan Yiyi noticed Xu Qing's gaze and suddenly felt her scalp tingle. She had a strange feeling, but couldn't quite describe what it was.
Something's not right!
This green snake demon in front of her was definitely not right!
Her sister was indeed correct; the world outside Tushan was extremely dangerous.
This is no place to linger!
“I owe you a favor this time, and Tushan Yiyi will surely repay you handsomely!”
Tushan Yiyi had already recovered her breath. After dropping that sentence, her red dress fluttered, and her figure vanished.
Xu Qing didn't even have a chance to speak again; Tushan Yiyi had already disappeared without a trace.
His golden vertical pupils looked towards Tushan, then retracted his gaze.
The Fat Protector followed Xu Qing's gaze, then turned his head and said, “Great King, when my injuries heal, I'll lead the charge!”
“Charge what?”
“I'll bring that young lady back for you. I understand what the Great King means!”
The Fat Protector didn't care if it could actually do it; it just wanted to flatter Xu Qing first to show its unwavering loyalty.
“Nonsense!”
Xu Qing reprimanded, “You fellow are truly absurd!”
The Fat Protector's expression became serious, revealing a look of understanding. It nodded and said, “Your subordinate understands. Not just one, but all the young ladies of Tushan!”
“Bang!”
Accompanied by a muffled thud.
The Fat Protector only felt his vision go black and fainted directly.
Xu Qing knocked out the babbling Fat Protector, borrowed a strong wind to lift him, and then quickly rushed towards the Flower and Fruit Forest.
After a while.
Xu Qing arrived at the central area of the Flower and Fruit Forest.
Upon seeing Xu Qing, the Monkey Demons bowed and knelt, and the Thin Dharma Protector also rushed over.
“Greetings, Great King!”
It first saluted, then was greatly alarmed to see the severely injured and unconscious Fat Protector.
“Great King!”
Skinny Egg was greatly startled, thinking that Fat Ball had angered Xu Qing and was beaten into such a miserable state.
It immediately knelt down to plead, “Great King! Fat Ball stealing the Peaches of Immortality is not a crime punishable by death. Please spare its life!”
Other Monkey Demons followed suit, kneeling and pleading, all saying that while Fat Protector's gluttony and thievery were facts, its unwavering loyalty to the Great King was also a fact, and so on.
The many Monkey Demons spoke at once, chirping and chattering, and the jungle immediately became noisy.
Xu Qing couldn't stand it anymore. He released a wisp of Qi, and a strong pressure descended, finally silencing the Monkey Demons.
“The matter of stealing the Peaches of Immortality is for later; first, go fetch some herbs...”
Xu Qing listed a bunch of herb names.
Skinny Egg jotted them down one by one and personally led the Monkey Demons to gather them.
Before long.
Piles of herbs appeared before Xu Qing.
He used the Spirit Eye and the Art of Consumption. With the cooperation of these two techniques, he imprinted the characteristics of each herb before him into his mind.
He selected some herbs with healing properties.
Then, he found a massive copper Ore, incinerated it with fierce flames, and extracted the refined copper from it.
With the aid of magic power, the refined copper quickly transformed into the shape of a Pill Furnace.
A strong wind blew, and the Pill Furnace rapidly took shape.
Ordering Skinny Egg to throw the herbs into the Pill Furnace one by one, Xu Qing fully unleashed the Art of Consumption.
Strands of mysterious fluctuations immediately appeared.
Xu Qing felt as if it were instinct, extracting the essence from the herbs one by one and controlling them to begin Fusion and refinement.
After a while.
Xu Qing put away his Divine Ability, lifted the lid of the Pill Furnace, and a clear fragrance immediately wafted out from within.
Inside, three light green Medicinal Pills, the size of red dates, slowly rolled around.
“Great King... what is this?”
Skinny Egg was full of shock; the Great King actually knew Alchemy!
“Give them to Fat Ball and see what effect they have,” Xu Qing said indifferently.
It was his first time refining Spirit Pills, and he didn't intend to refine anything too powerful.
Coincidentally, Fat Ball was injured, so he tried refining a few Spirit Pills that would help with recovery.
He just didn't know if they would be effective.
Skinny Egg dared not delay. It immediately took the Spirit Pills, supported the unconscious Fat Ball, pried open its mouth, and put the Spirit Pills in.
Upon entering the mouth, the Spirit Pills transformed into a stream of medicinal power that drilled into Fat Ball's body.
A moment later.
Its wounds began to heal, its aura gradually strengthened, and its injuries were recovering little by little.
Fat Ball's consciousness gradually awoke. It mumbled, and Skinny Egg, with a pained heart, leaned down to listen.
“Great King... it really was Skinny Egg who stole the Peaches of Immortality.”
