Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Late at night, Tu Shan Ya Ya sat cross-legged against the stone door of the cultivation cave, her arms wrapped around her. She lowered her head and made soft snoring sounds.

At that moment, a pair of small hands took a thick, warm quilt and draped it over Tu Shan Ya Ya.

"Young master, are you there?"

"Good evening, Miss Rongrong."

Tu Shan Rongrong's emerald green eyes trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"It's been a month and six days since I last heard your voice, young master..."

Dongfang Haoyang sat cross-legged inside the cave, looking up at the full moon above him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Ya Ya opened this hole for him yesterday, saying it was to let him get some fresh air, but in reality it was a passage for the little fox demon to sneak in.

"In another six months or so, my cultivation level will be stable, and I will definitely thank you properly then."

"We still have to wait another six months..." Tu Shan Rongrong pouted, feeling a little disappointed, and stuffed several packages containing food and snacks into the small hole under the door.

"How did the negotiations go?"

Dongfang Haoyang took the package from the small hole and opened it. Inside the basket were four small dishes, three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a bowl of chicken soup. Haoyang's lips curled up slightly. He took out the porcelain plate and bowl, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat with relish.

"Hehe, a great success! Not only did we buy two pieces of land on the border of the human race to build a trade city and entertainment industry, but we also successfully signed a non-aggression pact with the Dao Alliance."

Although those two places are only a few dozen kilometers apart, Rongrong had already set her sights on them. Despite being desolate and uninhabited, they are strategically located, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and situated on the border of the human race. They also contain rich deposits of black iron ore underground, but due to the sparse population, no one has been able to detect them.

Rongrong discovered it by chance. With 30,000 taels, she bought minerals worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels. Combined with other commercial output, this move was definitely a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Xuan Tie is the decisive material for forging magical artifacts in this world, and its commercial value is similar to that of rare earth elements.

"I thought there would be some resistance, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, hehe."

Tu Shan Rongrong smiled happily, swaying the wooden abacus in her hand like a ping-pong ball, and finally calculated the result.

She invested over 30,000 taels of silver. Once she took over the land, she could recoup her investment in at most two years, from construction to processing and production. The rest would all be profit.

Hearing the joy in Rongrong's voice, Dongfang Haoyang smiled. After finishing his meal, he continued to sit cross-legged to stabilize the boundless magical power within his body.

Although he had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, his cultivation level was unstable. Falling in level was a minor issue, but in severe cases, it could easily lead to demonic possession. Of course, with the system's suppression, the probability of demonic possession was extremely small, but falling in level was still unpleasant, after all, it was something he had painstakingly earned through his own hard work and sacrifice.

It took ten thousand years just to cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage. Even though Haoyang has a top-tier innate pure yang holy body, it would still take him a long time to refine and absorb the boundless power of the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Therefore, Haoyang plans to proceed step by step, first stabilizing at the Void Realm, and then continuing to refine, so that there is no risk of going into demonic possession. However, even so, it will take several months to stabilize his realm.

"Then Rongrong will not disturb you any longer, young master."

"Okay, goodnight. By the way, Rongrong, what about that kid Yuechu?"

Tu Shan Rongrong smiled and draped her coat over Ya Ya, who was dozing off beside her.

"At the beginning of the month, my younger brother insisted on staying in the servants' quarters of the palace. Seeing his stubbornness, I found him a better guest room inside the palace."

Dongfang Haoyang rubbed his forehead. That brat, that palace must be where Tushan Honghong works...

"Well then, goodnight, young master, hehe."

"Um……"

Tu Shan Rongrong, carrying a small basket, hummed a little tune and left happily with a faint smile on her face.

As Dongfang Haoyang listened to Rongrong's departing footsteps, his heart gradually calmed down.

But not long after.

"Brother, I've come to see you! Hehe!"

Two tufts of hair were a bit dazzling as Dongfang Yuechu jumped down from the hole above.

"You've got some nerve, haven't you come to see your brother in over a month?"

At the beginning of the month, I saw his brother, Dongfang Haoyang, slowly unfasten the Seven Wolves cigarettes from his waist. He immediately slid down and knelt on the ground, grabbing his brother's leg and hurriedly explaining.

"Brother, brother, calm down! I brought you something good!"

As he spoke, Dongfang Yuechu took out a jar from the small bundle he had brought, opened the lid, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

"Ta-da! Braised pork! Bro, your favorite! I'm being filial, aren't I?"

Seeing Dongfang Yuechu swaying her hips so beautifully, Dongfang Haoyang, knowing his younger brother by his own standards, knew that things were definitely not that simple.

After eating a few bites of braised pork, Dongfang Haoyang's expression softened slightly, and he crossed his arms as he looked at Yuechu.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Hey bro, can you lend me some money?"

"Oh? I heard you work as a servant and bodyguard, and you still need to borrow money from me?"

Xiao Yuechu rubbed her nose a couple of times, a sly smile on her face.

"Hehe, it's almost Qixi Festival, and I want to give the fairy sister a gift."

"Hey bro, what are you doing with that belt? Hey! No, don't hit me, bro, I'm sorry! Ahhh!"

Half an hour later, Dongfang Yuechu, his face bruised and swollen, was healed and crawled out of the cave with two hundred taels of silver in his hand.

"It was all for the Fairy Sister, this beating was worth it!"

Thinking of Xiaoyue, she got up, patted her bottom, and ran towards the Ancient Treasure Pavilion in Tushan, where the gift she wanted was.

Dongfang Haoyang was truly impressed by his younger brother, who was practically smoking Seven Wolves cigarettes. Yet, he insisted on buying it without changing a single word!

But remembering Rongrong and Honghong's tragic experiences, and looking at his foolish younger brother whom he had beaten half to death back then, Haoyang still felt a pang of pity...

"It seems that the only one who can help that yellow-haired fox demon in the future is my foolish, lovestruck younger brother. I just hope he doesn't lose his life to that fox demon, otherwise I'll have no blood relatives left in this world..."

With a long sigh, Dongfang Haoyang clenched his fist in the air. Outside, Ya Ya, who had kicked off her blankets and was fast asleep, was enveloped in a golden magical phantom that continuously emitted heat to warm the little fox demon's body.

Thinking of how the little fox demon had guarded him for over a month and refused to leave no matter what, Dongfang Haoyang felt a ripple in his heart and secretly remembered Ya Ya's kindness.

…………

Time flies, and five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the human realm, amidst the green hills and clear waters of some unknown area.

A group of Taoist priests from the Taoist Alliance rested here.

"Ugh, my legs are about to break! When will this ever end...?"

"Second brother, stop complaining. The Dao Alliance has given a strict order: we must find Lord Vulcan."

A group of Taoist priests dressed in yellow robes rested on the spot, wiping their magical artifacts.

Suddenly, a pillar of fire shot up from the ground behind them! The fire was pure and incredibly powerful.

The group of people were slightly taken aback.

"It's pure Yang Flame! The purest pure Yang Flame!" The squinty-eyed old Taoist priest pointed in that direction with his magic sword, his face beaming with delight.

Several Taoist priests were overjoyed and rushed to the place, but when they arrived, they did not see anyone using the divine fire.

Instead, in the river below, they saw an elderly man with white hair swimming, but...

"Uh, is that the breaststroke? Wow, what an ugly form..."

Everyone was a bit dumbfounded, but judging from the other party's appearance and figure, they confirmed that the other party's identity was none other than Jin Renfeng, the long-reclusive master of Shenhuo Mountain Manor!

……

"Are you Taoists from the Taoist Alliance?"

"Exactly!"

Having just finished swimming the breaststroke, Jin Renfeng glanced at the Taoists who were bowing to him. He originally intended to refuse, as he still needed to use the magic of the leech clan to try to slow down his aging.

Because his blood was replaced, and now there's a problem, Jin Renfeng once used a secret method of the leech clan to replace his master Dongfang Guyue's blood with his own.

Years ago, he was ambushed by his junior sister, Dongfang Huaizhu. Although he severely injured her with one palm, he also caused Huaizhu to become pregnant and die without a doubt.

However, he was also injured by another mysterious person, and the loss of divine blood caused the blood in his body and the divine blood to repel each other, so he had to rely on the leech secret method to delay aging.

"Lord Vulcan, this is a longevity pill presented to you by our Dao Alliance!"

Jin Renfeng was stunned! Looking at the numerous longevity pills held by the Taoist priests, he almost condensed divine fire on his cane, almost killing and robbing these Taoist priests to silence them and seize the pills.

"Rest assured, Lord Vulcan, we will have a generous gift after we eliminate the demon scourge of Tushan. This is just a small token of our appreciation."

Upon hearing that the divine fire on his cane had vanished instantly, Jin Renfeng revealed a kind smile.

"Hahaha, to rid the world of demons, I, the Golden-Faced Fire God, have no choice but to do my duty!"

Everyone was overjoyed and bowed their heads in greeting.

"With the help of the God of Fire, the Dao Alliance is fortunate, and humanity is fortunate!"

"Yes, but that demonic dragon in Tushan is very powerful. Of course, no one doubts Lord Fire God, but..."

Jin Renfeng snorted coldly and slammed his cane heavily on the ground!

"Hmph, let me show you my true strength!"

As he spoke, Jin Renfeng raised his cane high! Instantly, a magma ball over twenty meters tall appeared.

This is his maximum ability in normal state. If he enters Golden Mask mode, he can create a magma ball that is over 100 meters in size!

In terms of mastery of Pure Yang Flame, Jin Renfeng dares to say that apart from the old patriarch of the Dongfang family, no one can surpass him. Now that Dongfang Guyue has been harmed by him, he dares to say that if he claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!

The large magma ball at the fingertips of the Taoist priest Jin Renfeng was deeply impressed by the power of this old patriarch and bowed deeply in reverence.

Although everyone is talking about Jin Renfeng for betraying his master and ancestors, and for being ungrateful, he is incredibly powerful. Right now, we can only use Jin Renfeng's Demon-Slaying Divine Fire to eliminate the fox demons on Tushan Mountain.

"The Golden-Faced Fire God truly lives up to his name!"

"It seems only you can eliminate the demonic threat on Mount Tu. We are willing to clear the obstacles for the God of Fire."

"He's just a nobody from Tushan, Lord Vulcan, deal with him!"

"Yes! Deal with him!"

As the Taoist priests surrounded Jin Renfeng and shouted loudly, only the squinty-eyed Taoist priest chuckled coldly to the side. A green seed of the Bitter Love Tree flew out of his sleeve and quickly disappeared into the ground...

While Dongfang Haoyang was issuing his warning, Jin Renfeng happened to be in an ancient secret realm within the Green Mountains, searching for a way to slow down his aging, and therefore did not know about it.

However, he was incredibly lucky. Although he couldn't find a way to slow down aging, he did find a precious pill in that secret realm, called the Crimson Serpent Demon Pill.
