Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 533 I, Ao Bing, am truly too clever!

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Visibility was extremely low at night. In the Yin Shang camp at the north gate of Xiqi, bonfires flickered, illuminating the camp. Every now and then, squads of soldiers in full armor patrolled past.

A gentle breeze drifted into the central command tent. Because the four brothers were tall, the tent was more than three times larger than an ordinary tent.

On the table inside the tent were leftover beef, mutton, wine, and meat. Next to it was a shelf with the four brothers' weapons and fire-tipped spears.

At this moment, the four brothers were unable to conquer Xiqi and were waiting for Wen Zhong. With nothing to do, they could only pass the time by drinking.

Now, they were fast asleep, their snores rising and falling like thunder. Mo Liqing, Mo Lihong, and Mo Lihai were sleeping while holding their magical treasures.

Ao Bing almost burst out laughing when he saw the weapon rack.

Seriously, his dragon has a very high threshold for humor, unless he can't help it.

On the shelf, Mo Lihong's halberd, which had been bent, was broken in two. Judging from the break, he had tried to straighten it, but the force of the blow caused it to break. So, he replaced it with Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear.

Ao Bing first recited the incantation to retrieve the Fire-Tipped Spear, but no matter how he searched, he could not find any trace of the other treasures.

Finally, his gaze fell on Mo Lihong's precious umbrella. He tiptoed to Mo Lihong's side and saw that the guy was holding his umbrella like he was holding a beautiful wife or concubine, sleeping very soundly.

"Wait, I've already reached the central command tent, why would I need to steal any treasures?"

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly realized that he could take this opportunity to kill the four demon generals.

Although it's a bit dishonorable to launch a sneak attack while someone is asleep, this is a battlefield where everyone is fighting for their own master and using their own methods. Didn't these guys try to use a magic weapon to wipe out the entire Xiqi in the middle of the night before?

With this thought in mind, Ao Bing's eyes turned serious as he revealed himself, his right hand gripping a claw, and unleashed a move called "White Dragon Heart-Piercing" towards Mo Lihong, because this guy's Chaos Umbrella posed the greatest threat.

"Roar!"

But just as he made his move, a huge, ferocious head suddenly burst out of the leopard skin pouch next to Mo Lishou's head, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed Ao Bing whole.

"What happened?"

The moment the sable fox made a sound, it startled the four generals of the Mo family. The four of them were immediately awakened and saw that the sable fox had turned to its normal size and was squeaking and gesturing at Mo Lishou.

"So that's how it is. That was really close. Luckily you were there."

As Mo Lishou listened, his expression grew increasingly grave until he broke out in a cold sweat, repeatedly stroking the head of the ferret.

"Fourth brother, what about the sable fox?"

The other three only noticed the disarray in the tent and knew something must have happened, but they didn't know what had happened.

Mo Lishou told them what had just happened.

"hiss……"

After hearing this, Mo Liqing and the other two looked at each other, gasped, and felt a chill run down their spines.

Who would have thought that a good night's sleep would almost cause my head to shift?

Mo Liqing's face was gloomy: "Our army has guards every ten steps and sentries every fifty steps. How could this person sneak into our central command tent without anyone noticing? This skill alone makes him a born assassin. Young man... it seems we were right that time, Jiang Ziya has a master under his command."

Mo Lihong was the most agitated: "That old scoundrel Jiang Ziya has no martial ethics whatsoever. Stealing the magic weapon is one thing, but he even wants to take our lives."

"Second brother, don't be angry. The sable fox has already avenged you."

Mo Lishou, in the best mood, laughed and said, "They planned everything, but they didn't expect that we have the Flower Fox Sable on guard. No matter how profound his Taoist skills are, once he enters the Flower Fox Sable's belly, he will be a pile of poop in two or three days."

Upon hearing this, Mo Liqing and the other two relaxed their expressions and their complexions improved considerably.

This flower fox is a rare species from the primordial era. It has cultivated the Yin and Yang energies within its belly, allowing it to not only change its size at will but also devour all things.

When the four brothers received the immortal's teachings and magical treasures, they saw that Mo Lishou had talent and were granted the secret art of beast taming. The Flower Fox Sable was the strongest beast they tamed after lending their treasures to Mo Lishou. It had even eaten divine birds and beasts such as dragons and blue phoenixes. None of the beasts it ate survived.

The group finally sat down, took a sip of wine in frustration before slowly calming down, but they still felt quite uncomfortable after being disturbed like that.

“Brother, since this old scoundrel has started the first day of the month, I’ll start the fifteenth.”

Mo Lishou laughed and said, "I will release the Flower Fox Sable into Xiqi City and let it find an opportunity to eat Jiang Shang and swallow Ji Fa. By then, the overall situation will be settled, and we can return to the capital without having to wait here in vain."

The other three's eyes lit up at the idea, and they all nodded in unison, saying, "That's feasible!"

Immediately, Mo Lishou came to the outside of the tent, stretched out his arm, and the flower fox sable flew into the air with lightning speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

He returned to the main tent to drink and await good news.

The ferret was moving nimbly through the air when it suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell from the sky, writhing in agony.

"Hehe, you wicked creature, it's easy for you to eat Grandpa, but I'm afraid you don't have such a good stomach to digest it."

Ao Bing's voice came from inside its belly: "Your life is now in your grandfather's hands. I see that you have some intelligence and I am going to spare your life, but whether you live or die is up to you."

Flower fox sable: "???"

“Oh, I almost forgot, you beast, you can’t talk. Here’s what we’ll do: if you want to live, make two noises; if you want to die, make one noise,” Ao Bing said.

The sable fox rolled its eyes and squeaked twice.

“Very good, open your mouth, your Grandpa Ao is out.”

As soon as Ao Bing's voice came, the sable fox quickly opened its mouth, but just as it was about to bite, it convulsed as if it had been electrocuted, its fur stood on end, and it collapsed to the ground, convulsing all over.

A beam of white light flew out of its mouth, landed, and transformed into Ao Bing, whose hands were now glowing.

In the ball of light in the left hand was a heart beating with a "thump, thump" sound, while in the ball of light in the right hand were two kidneys.

Ao Bing laughed and said, "Are you waiting for your grandpa to come out so you can bite him to death?"

The sable fox looked at Ao Bing's smile and shook its head in horror.

At this moment, its life and lifelong happiness are undoubtedly in the hands of the demon before it.

Ao Bing angrily said, "My master said that one should be honest. How can you, a sable, not be honest? Huh?"

The ferret could only look at him in fear and nod.

Ao Bing glared: "You beast, I spared your life, and you repay kindness with enmity by plotting against me?"

The spotted ferret is really about to cry.

Denying is dishonest, admitting is ingratitude... so what should it choose?
Why don't you just give me a straightforward answer?

"Fortunately, Grandpa guards against bad guys but not good beasts, and used magic to remove those two things from you."

Ao Bing laughed and said, "Don't worry, you won't be affected in the short term, but..."

He gently touched his heart, and the ferret immediately reacted, feeling an unbearable ache all over its body, and quickly let out a humble, pleading cry.

Crushing a kidney wouldn't be fatal, but crushing a heart would kill you instantly.

Ao Bing nodded: "Okay, then go and steal back the magic treasures from Mo Liqing and the others."

The sable fox looked completely bewildered, as if asking: Me? Ao Bing smiled and said, "This is my trust in you. Don't disappoint me again, or I'll keep your heart for my master, and I'll roast the kidneys to offer to my uncle."

Holy crap... The ferret was furious, its mind filled with the urge to tear this thing in front of it to shreds, swallow it whole, poop it out, and then feed it to the dog so it could poop out too...

Don't ask why it doesn't think about it in its heart, because its heart has been "stolen".

It had originally planned to just go along with the pretense and wait until it returned to its owner.

If you can't afford to mess with it, can't you at least avoid it?
Who would have thought that this little brat would have such a trick up his sleeve? No, which bastard taught such a troublemaker?
The sable fox left, seething with anger.

Ao Bing raised an eyebrow, staring at the beating heart in his hand: "This little thing is a bit naughty, but it's cute and charming to girls. If I train it well, I'll give it to my dear senior sister whom I've never met. If she doesn't want it, I'll give it to Yang Chan. If neither of them wants it, then... I'll give it to my little sister!"

In fact, with his abilities, it would be easy for him to break open the belly of this monstrous creature, emerge as a sable fox, and steal treasure.

He spared the little thing's life because he was afraid that some of his habits would be exposed, and also because he saw that the little thing was somewhat useful.

After the sable fox left, it lingered for a while before finally returning to the commander's tent at dawn. The four Mo brothers were drinking and eagerly waiting for it.

"Baby, how was it? Did you get it?"

Upon seeing the Flower Fox Sable return, Mo Lishou immediately reached out his hand and asked expectantly.

Not only did he not get a word in, he also made a mistake... The ferret skillfully jumped into his arms, shook its head, and barked twice.

"I didn't find an opportunity, so never mind."

Mo Lishou stroked the sable fox with regret and said to his brothers, "The sable fox said that when it went there, Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa were discussing military affairs, so it couldn't find an opportunity."

Mo Lihai yawned and said, "That wretched old bastard, he kept us up all night."

Mo Lihong snorted, "Fourth brother, let the Flower Fox Sable try again tomorrow. It doesn't matter if it fails. I want Jiang Ziya to experience what it feels like to almost lose his head in his sleep."

Mo Liqing said, "They've suffered a loss this time, so their next attack won't come so soon. Let's sleep a little longer and get our energy back before we fight them again."

With that, they confidently hung their respective magical treasures on the tent.

Mo Lishou nodded and stroked the ferret affectionately, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, baby. We're going to get some more sleep. We'll trouble you to keep watch for us again."

They were enormous, unlike ordinary people, and possessed immense strength, but they also consumed a lot of energy and needed plenty of food and sleep.

The ferret nodded and burrowed into his leopard skin pouch.

Xiqi.

The main hall of the Prime Minister's residence.

Tonight, Jiang Ziya and his companions are destined to be sleepless.

"It's almost dawn, why hasn't Ao Bing returned yet?"

Jiang Ziya paced back and forth in the hall, growing increasingly agitated as time went on.

It's fine with other people, but Ao Bing is Yu Ding's disciple. If something happens to him, how can he explain it to Yu Ding?

Change to...

He glanced at the three Nezha brothers silently a few times, cough cough, okay, he admits he was a little biased.

As time went by, Nezha's initial confidence gradually dissipated: "Stealing, bah, why does it take so long to take something?"

Jinzha stood with his back against a pillar, reassuring everyone, "Don't panic, everyone!"

He looked up and called out, "Muzha, how is it?"

Mu Zha's voice came from the rooftop: "There's no sign of fighting in the camp across the way."

Jinzha nodded: "Okay, continue to observe, and go to our aid immediately if anything goes wrong."

The Yin-Shang camp.

In the central command tent.

The four brothers' snoring was as loud as thunder.

Inside the leopard-skin pouch, the ferret sighed as it listened to the faint sounds coming from inside. Don't ask why the other three were holding their treasures while it stayed here; this was the reason.

Only after getting used to the snoring of the four of them did it realize something was wrong and quietly waited, then suddenly attacked and swallowed it. But who knew it had swallowed such a scourge.

After waiting a while to make sure the others were sound asleep, it crawled out of its leopard skin pouch and swallowed the Azure Cloud Sword, the Hunyuan Umbrella, and the Jade Pipa.

Then it came to the curtain of the general's tent and looked back at Mo Lishou with lingering reluctance.

For a moment, the air seemed to be filled with the atmosphere of parting.

The sable fox sighed softly, unable to help but recall when Mo Lishou had just subdued it.

At that time, Mo Lishou subdued it using a magical artifact, but it was not convinced and got injured all over its body inside the artifact. It even almost bit off Mo Lishou's hand, which was healing it.

It was only gradually that it sensed Mo Lishou's kindness and sincerity, and then it was convinced. This guy never treated it as a pet beast, but as a brother, and even persuaded the others to do the same.

What a wonderful owner!
Brother, don't blame me, I had no choice... huh?

Just as the sable was feeling deeply saddened, it suddenly caught sight of Mo Lishou's leopard skin pouch, paused for a moment, and its sadness vanished instantly.

Its eyes darted around, glancing at the four demon generals. Seeing that they were still fast asleep, it silently jumped over, picked up the leopard skin pouch, turned around, and dashed out of the tent into the distance.

Cough cough... It seems to recognize its nest.

It couldn't sleep without the leopard skin bag.

It flew into the air and quickly arrived at the forest it had been in before. Its nose twitched as it searched for Ao Bing. Suddenly, the scene before its eyes almost made its nose twist in anger.

Ao Bing was seen sleeping peacefully with his arms crossed and his back against a tree.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

Hearing the commotion, Ao Bing looked at the sable fox and laughed, "Where's the stuff?"

The ferret glared at him intently, thinking, "I'm working myself to the bone for you, and you have the nerve to sleep here?"

Ao Bing said, "Didn't you understand? Let me repeat it. Those... a few... treasures..."

The sable fox pointed angrily at its belly.

Ao Bing laughed smugly, "I obtained the treasures of the four Demon Generals with just a little trick, as easily as taking something out of a bag. Hahaha, I, Ao Bing, am so clever!"

My Jade Void lineage has never been inferior to anyone. Compared to Jinzha, I have more potential to become a great general. Now that I have achieved this feat, when I return to see my master, he still wants a brave and resourceful expert like me to transport grain.

He scooped up the sable fox and transformed into a streak of white light, flying towards Xiqi.

The ferret: "..."

Damn it... I did all the dirty and hard work!
