Chapter 5 Sigma

Meng Xuan gently rubbed Tushan Rongrong's long green hair.

Maybe it had been a long time since he had washed it, and the bumpy ride had caused a lot of his hair to stick together. It didn't feel very good to the touch, but Meng Xuan still didn't dislike it.

"Stand back!" Meng Xuan reminded her harshly. He raised his knife and swung it quickly. After a chaotic sound of metal collision, Tushan Honghong was freed.

"Thank you..." Tushan Honghong murmured softly.

Meng Xuan raised his eyebrows and teased playfully, "Right, you still know how to speak properly."

The sudden teasing made Tushan Honghong freeze. Under other circumstances, she might have retorted, but she had just been rescued by Meng Xuan, so she could only keep her words to herself.

But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. In the end, Tushan Honghong could only pull Tushan Rongrong's hand angrily.

"Rongrong, let's go!"

"Hey, sister..." Tushan Rongrong looked at Meng Xuan somewhat helplessly.

However, before the two little girls could walk away, cold words suddenly sounded behind them.

"Are you planning on taking little Rongrong back to Tushan in this body? With the demon-killing talisman on your body, I'm afraid you can't even use your demonic powers. Or do you want to get caught by the Taoist priest again along the way?"

The naked words tore Tushan Honghong's heart apart, and she couldn't help but stop.

Meng Xuan walked forward calmly, his tone still cold, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to you sisters if you hadn't met me today?"

Then he pointed at the young Taoist priest not far away and said, "That kind boy might find an opportunity to secretly let you go along the way, but can you guarantee that you won't misunderstand and accidentally kill him?"

"You accidentally killed a good person who wanted to save you. Can you ever rest in peace in your life?"

Three consecutive long and deafening questions shocked Tushan Honghong so much that she was stunned.

The girl clenched her left hand tightly and bit her lips, obviously deeply touched by the words just now.

After a while, Meng Xuan finally pulled up Tushan Honghong's hand.

"So you have to consider the consequences of everything you do. You're Xiao Rongrong's sister. Not to mention protecting her, but you absolutely can't let her fall into danger because of your impulsive behavior!"

"And vice versa."

As Meng Xuan spoke, he quickly tore off a demon-killing talisman.

"Ah!" The movements were obviously not as delicate as before. Tushan Honghong screamed in pain instantly, turned around suddenly and stared at Meng Xuan with her eyes.

"What are you looking at? Just consider it as punishment for scolding me in the beginning."

Meng Xuan glared back with confidence, and tore off another demon-killing talisman with force.

"You!" Tushan Honghong grimaced in pain, but when she saw Meng Xuan's gloating eyes, she immediately got angry, endured the severe pain, and stared at Meng Xuan stubbornly.

Stab it!

As the last demon-killing talisman was torn off, Meng Xuan immediately let go of his hand and kept a certain distance, while at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief in front of the man and two fox demons.

"Comfortable!"

This remark once again caused Tushan Honghong to bar her teeth at him, "Stingy human!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Meng Xuan didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he smiled with his big white teeth showing.

Tushan Honghong became increasingly angry, "You're not ashamed to argue with a child."

"Hey, that's not right," Meng Xuan corrected him seriously, "You can't judge the age of your fox demons by their appearance. They might be several generations older than me!"

Now Tushan Honghong was really speechless, as talking was not her strong point.

Besides, there’s nothing wrong with what he said.

Seeing his opponent defeated, Meng Xuan hummed with joy.

Don’t bother with the kids?

What a joke! Do you really think he has no temper?

Of course, Meng Xuan was just taking a small revenge, and he wouldn't really keep it in mind.

Looking at the miserable appearance of the two little girls covered in wounds, Meng Xuan stuffed the dagger into the storage bag on his chest and took out a jade bottle.

"Here, some medicine for healing your wounds. I don't know if it will work. Of course, you don't have to take it if you're worried." Meng Xuan poured out the nourishing pills and handed them to the two little girls.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" Tushan Rongrong nodded happily, and unknowingly had become full of trust in Meng Xuan.

Tushan Honghong hesitated for a moment, then also reached out to take it, "Thank you."

The two little guys swallowed the essence-nourishing pills one after another.

The medicine took effect quickly.

The wound left by the demon-killing talisman slowly stopped bleeding and formed a scab, and even the pain was obviously relieved, which could be seen from the changes in the expressions of the two little fox demons.

"Rongrong doesn't feel any pain anymore, thank you Brother Li!"

Meng Xuan also nodded with satisfaction.

The effect of this nourishing pill is better than expected.

"Don't be too happy!" Meng Xuan gently shook his index finger. "Of course I'm willing to save little Rongrong, but as for you... I can't save you in vain."

Tushan Honghong curled her lips, "What do you want?"

"It's simple. I got those Essence Nourishing Pills with great difficulty. There are only a few of them. Plus, I saved your life. It shouldn't be too much to ask for some reward, right?"

Meng Xuan didn't feel cheap either, and said bluntly: "The Tushan family is wealthy and powerful, they shouldn't be so stingy, right?"

"Of course. My Tushan Fox Demon Clan is definitely not ungrateful," Tushan Honghong responded loudly without hesitation, "even if the target is you."

Meng Xuan's face suddenly darkened, "You don't have to say that last sentence!"

"But as long as you acknowledge it, then give me a receipt. I'll go collect my reward when I pass by Tushan later."

"No problem," Tushan Honghong agreed without hesitation, then raised her foot to scoop it up.

Jingle Bell!
A crisp bell sounded.

"This is the ring I've worn since I was a child. It proves my identity. When the time comes, you only need to hold it to prove your identity."

However, Meng Xuan did not reach out to take it. Instead, he frowned, his eyes full of disgust.

"Is there nothing else?"

Tushan's red eyebrows twitched slightly, and she suppressed her annoyance, forcing each word out through her teeth, "No more, just this one."

"Have you washed your feet?"

"Don't pull me down!"

A pair of fox ears suddenly stood up, and Tushan Honghong turned red all over.

Without waiting for her to retract the bell ring, Meng Xuan snatched it away and stuffed it into the storage bag on his chest. The whole process was done in one go.

"Tsk!" Tushan Honghong glared at him.

"Brother Li, aren't you going back to Tushan with us?" Tushan Rongrong pulled Meng Xuan's sleeve and asked softly with eager eyes.

"I also want to go to Tushan to see the fox demon sister, but I'm afraid of your mother Fengqi!"

Of course, Meng Xuan only dared to say this in his heart.

"Brother has other things to do and can't accompany Xiao Rongrong back to Tushan, but I believe your sister will definitely protect you. Remember to avoid humans on the way back, and don't trust anyone even if you meet them."

"Okay then, Brother Li, will you come to Tushan to see Rongrong?" Tushan Rongrong asked again.

Meng Xuan smiled gently and nodded immediately, "Of course, after I finish my business, I will definitely go to Tushan to see Xiao Rongrong."

"Then Brother Li and Rongrong make a pinky promise!"

Tushan Rongrong looked at Meng Xuan expectantly and extended her little finger.

"Okay!" Meng Xuan smiled slightly and also stretched out his little finger to hook it with it.

"Hang yourself with a hook, and you won't be able to change it for a hundred years."
