Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Lin Yu is no longer the child she could easily handle.

He now possesses power equal to or even greater than hers, and she has no say in what he wants to do.

She knew that if she didn't give Lin Yu an explanation today, his most likely course of action would be to go outside the circle again, study the power of those monsters in his own way, and find an effective way to solve his own problems.

But who knows her own situation better than she does?

Feng Qi sighed, pulled Lin Yu to sit on the bed, and this time there was no sarcasm or anger.

In a calm voice, he began to recount what had happened after the two of them left last time.

Since leaving last time, although Feng Qi didn't say anything about Lin Yu's promises, she didn't want to disappoint him.

So after leaving Tushan, they returned to the small town where they used to live and silently began to suppress the power within them.

That letter was taken away at that time.

The idea was good, but reality was rather unforgiving.

When Feng Qi first came into contact with this power, she knew it was an ominous force, but at the time, for the sake of Tu Shan and for Tu Shan Hong Hong and the others who had not yet grown up, she had no choice.

All I could do was use my own body as a container to absorb as much of the power emanating from the Bitter Love Tree as possible.

As she absorbed more and more of this power, its erosion on her body intensified, and it even began to influence her thoughts.

Countless nights, Fengqi would wake up in a fright, knowing that she was on the wrong path, but there was no turning back.

With each passing day, the mistakes deepened, and the path strayed further.

By the time she met Lin Yu, she was on the verge of a breakdown.

If it were any other demon race, they would have already completely fallen.

Fortunately, she was a fox spirit, and the power of a fox spirit originates from the deepest emotions.

Her interactions with Lin Yu subtly increased her emotional strength, slowing down the process, but compared to that power, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

The first time she left was because she realized she couldn't control herself and didn't want to hurt Lin Yu.

Fortunately, they managed to hold on in the end.

When she tried to suppress him again after leaving him for the second time, she found that it was no longer something she could do.

But thinking of Lin Yu's promise, Feng Qi gritted her teeth and persevered, refusing to give up.

At the same time, they began to look for other solutions.

Ultimately, she went to the South.

If there's anyone in the industry who could offer help at this point, besides the Aolai Kingdom whose location is unknown, perhaps only Huan Du Qingtian, that ancient demon.

Living a long life, in some ways, means having a wide range of skills and abilities.

Huan Du Qingtian did not disappoint Feng Qi.

After the two joined forces, and even used the power of heaven and earth to temporarily suppress that force.

Huan Du Qingtian offered a temporary solution.

That is to take advantage of Feng Qi's extremely strong emotional power as a fox demon and combine it with the strongest Gu in the Southern Kingdom, the Love Gu.

Since ancient times, the greatest function of love potions has been to permanently attract two people in love to each other and bring them together, creating an unbreakable bond.

However, if that's all there is to it, then the Love Gu is at most a supplementary effect and far from being the strongest Gu.

With just a little guidance and modification, and by making a small change to the love potion, one can utilize the love power of the phoenix to maximize its effect.

This change transforms the love potion, which originally required both parties to participate, into a one-sided affair.

Without the cooperation of the other half, the love potion becomes nothing more than unrequited love.

This change is further enhanced by the power of emotion.

Faced with the darkness that can change other people's thinking and lead them to ruin, the power of love potion can be used to fight against it.

Darkening vs. Love-obsessed.

If I were to give a concise explanation, that would be about it.

However, this confrontation can only be described as temporary, because even something as powerful as the Love Gu can be corrupted by darkness.

The outcome of complete collapse will still be unchangeable.

Feng Qi didn't hesitate at all when Huan Du Qingtian offered this solution, and readily agreed.

With his help, she began to cultivate the Love Gu using her own heart's blood and emotional power.

At that time, she still occasionally kept in touch with Lin Yu.

The reason for the subsequent break in contact was to integrate the Love Gu in order to resist the darkness.

The dangers involved in this process are numerous, and even Huan Du Qingtian had to be extremely careful.

Fortunately, we made it through safely without any major incidents.

"Even Huan avoided touching the power within me."

"Even so, the final result was merely to suppress and seal this power within the body, and it wouldn't affect this place in the short term."

Feng Qi pointed to her head, her voice calm, as if she were talking about someone else rather than something that had happened to her.

"You might think I'm lying to you, or that I'm deliberately trying to hurt you."

"But after this experience, I am very clear about one thing."

"My condition is beyond saving."

Feng Qi gazed at Lin Yu, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

“If there is any hope, even if it is only one in ten thousand, I will choose to try, but I don’t want to involve you in this now.”

"For me, being able to suppress this force for the time being is enough; there is no need to pursue anything else."

"I have lived for so many years, experienced a lot of things, and seen a lot of stories."

"It's already good enough as it is now."

Lin Yu stared at Feng Qi, his usually gentle eyes now appearing somewhat sharp.

"I told you, your power cannot affect me."

"I don't want to gamble."

Feng Qi interrupted Lin Yu, her expression somewhat weary.

To solve her problem, we must study this power in great depth.

This is completely different from the darkness she projected onto Lin Yu.

This was something Lin Yu had never seen on her face before.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu spoke.

"How much time is left?"

"A few months, or a few years, or even more than ten years?"

It seemed that Feng Qi felt much more relaxed after finally speaking out about something that had been weighing on her mind.

She lay on the bed, her thin clothes accentuating her shapely figure, which, under the dim light, added a touch of ethereal mystery.

"Given Huan Du Qingtian's age, his concept of time is quite different from ours, including mine."

"Perhaps the problems within me haven't even surfaced yet, while your lifespan has already come to an end."

So, stop thinking about these things.

Seeing that Feng Qi seemed somewhat relieved, Lin Yu didn't say anything more to object, but simply nodded.

"I understand. Get some rest."

"Good night."

After saying that, Lin Yu turned and left the room without the slightest hesitation.

Watching Lin Yu's departing figure, Feng Qi sighed softly and remained motionless, gazing at the bright moon outside the window for a long time.

It wasn't until late at night that Feng Qi seemed to come to her senses. She quietly got up and left her room, going to the room next door.

I gently pushed the door open and entered, a strong smell of alcohol wafted over me.

Feng Qi arrived at the bedside without touching the ground. Tu Shan Ya Ya was holding a wine gourd, and her sleeping posture was truly indescribable. The quilt had been kicked off somewhere.

in the dark.

Feng Qi gazed silently at the girl before him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He reached out and pulled the blanket over Tu Shan Ya Ya.

Slender fingers brushed across her face, smoothing away the frown that lingered on her brow even in her sleep.

"From now on, Tushan will be in your hands, and so will he."

A low murmur softly arose.

Tu Shan Ya Ya was fast asleep when she reached out and scratched her cheek, then turned over and continued sleeping.

Seeing this, Feng Qi smiled slightly and left the room.
