The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

Therefore, Zhuge Ming resolutely decided to run away. Today, let alone Zhuge Wolong, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would still run away!

Zhuge Wolong seemed to have anticipated Zhuge Ming's reaction, and picked up the scroll and threw it at Zhuge Ming, who was running for his life.

The scroll struck Zhuge Ming with remarkable precision on the back of the head, but strangely, it merged into Zhuge Ming's brain.

Zhuge Ming paused, feeling a torrent of emotions surge through his mind, eventually converging into four large characters—The Path of Body Refinement!

"Although we specialize in array formations, our weak physique and lack of combat skills are ultimately major drawbacks of this path. Therefore, I created this method based on my brothers' body-training techniques from the Mu family, using array formations to temper our bodies... Hey, hey, hey, let me finish my bragging before you leave!"

Before Zhuge Wolong could finish speaking, Zhuge Ming, who had already sorted out the memories in his mind, simply stopped running and used the "Teleportation Technique" to leave the cave, leaving Zhuge Wolong, who was still rambling on and preparing to continue showing off, standing there.

"Well done, as expected of you!" Zhuge Wolong made a friendly gesture in the direction Zhuge Ming had left, then thought with a strange expression:

This feeling is really... quite special?

Immediately, his entire body transformed into specks of starlight and vanished into the air, and the cave returned to its tranquility.

Outside the cave entrance

"Good heavens, there are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me. Wasn't imprisoning me for nine years last time enough? They're doing it again. Do they really think I'm a dough ball with no legs?"

Zhuge Ming patted his chest, looking as if he had just been scared.

The last nine years of confinement had really terrified Zhuge Ming. Although his strength had increased rapidly, if he had a choice, he would absolutely not want to stay in the same place alone for nine years. For Zhuge Ming, who loved excitement, it was worse than death.

That's why Zhuge Ming ran away so resolutely after seeing the scroll. He was simply afraid that Zhuge Wolong would imprison him for another nine years.

"I wonder where those two are now. I should go and check on them as soon as possible. Shit, I hate childhood sweethearts."

With that, he sped off towards Hancheng at full speed.

.........

"Hey Ya Ya, why are you so angry?"

Inside the inn, Dongfang Yuechu looked at Tushan Yaya, whose flames were almost comparable to his own Pure Yang Flame, and said with a headache.

Tu Shan Ya Ya's head instantly exploded with countless tic-tac-toe characters. Suddenly, she turned around and punched the unprepared Dongfang Yuechu onto the floor, causing the floor to crack instantly with many thick and large fissures.

"Are you stupid? That idiot tells us to go first whenever something fun happens, and he runs off to play by himself. And you're asking me why I'm so angry?"

Dongfang Yuechu buried his head in the floor and didn't move. The clever man knew that he was being used as a punching bag, so for safety's sake, he decided to pretend to die and wait for Zhuge Ming to come back so he could dump this mess on him.

Just then, Zhuge Ming, who had learned from Zhang San that Dongfang Yuechu and the other person were at this inn, pushed open the door with a smile: "Hi, Sister Ya Ya, I'm back...?"

The atmosphere instantly became very awkward.

When Zhuge Ming saw Dongfang Yuechu on the ground and the crack in the floor, his previously cheerful tone gradually subsided, and his hand holding the door froze. He then prepared to quietly close the door as if he had never been there.

The moment Dongfang Yuechu saw Zhuge Ming, he knew his chance had come. Seeing that this scoundrel was trying to abandon him and run away, Dongfang Yuechu sprang to his feet with unprecedented speed, grabbed the still-unresponsive Zhuge Ming, tossed him into the room, and slammed the door shut, locking it in one swift motion!

"Sister Ya Ya, you two chat first, I'll go find you something to eat..."

As Dongfang Yuechu's voice grew fainter, Zhuge Ming knew that this bastard Dongfang Yuechu had abandoned him and run away!

Although Zhuge Ming was inwardly cursing, he maintained a cheerful demeanor and said, "How could I trouble you? I'm so sorry! Wait for me, I'll go with you!"

As he spoke, he pretended to walk outside naturally.

"Stop!" Tu Shan Ya Ya shouted sharply.

Zhuge Ming froze instantly, turning his head with difficulty to look at Tu Shan Ya Ya, whose face was gloomy, and forced a smile: "Sister Ya Ya, is something wrong...?"

Without saying a word, Tu Shan Ya Ya immediately greeted Zhuge Ming in a friendly and cordial manner, just to make sure that Zhuge Ming was not missing any parts.

"Ah, no, ah, I was wrong, Sister Ya Ya, I shouldn't have threatened you. I'll definitely take you with me next time, ah!!!"

Outside the door, Dongfang Yuechu, who had pretended to have left long ago, was now leaning against the door, listening to Zhuge Ming's miserable cries with a gloating expression.

"I think the only person in this world who can control you is Sister Ya Ya. It's true that one thing can subdue another. You deserve it, hahaha."

As he laughed, Dongfang Yuechu suddenly thought of his fairy sister still in Tushan, and his mood instantly sombered. However, he quickly recovered and resolutely murmured towards Tushan, "Fairy sister, I've taken the first step now, and I'm a few steps closer to your ideal. Just wait, I will free your heart!!!"

Chapter Forty-Seven: "Leaving"

After a long while, Tu Shan Ya Ya skipped and hopped out of the room, humming a little tune. She glanced at Dongfang Yuechu, who was pretending to admire the moon in broad daylight, and asked, "..."

"You stinky cockroach, weren't you supposed to be preparing food for us?"

Dongfang Yuechu gave an awkward smile and replied, "The boss said there's no food left, so I came back to ask Zhuge if he had any food hidden there."

Tu Shan Ya Ya glanced at Dongfang Yuechu with some skepticism, then said nonchalantly, "Alright then, go in and ask him yourself."

After saying that, she skipped away.

Dongfang Yuechu watched Tushan Yaya's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long sigh, opened the door and went inside.

"hiss!!!!"

The sight before Dongfang Yuechu sent chills down his spine. The room was a complete mess; nothing was intact. Cracks, like the intertwined roots of an old tree, crisscrossed the floor and walls. The scattered pieces of furniture all spoke volumes about the fierce battle that had taken place there!

"Damn it... Dongfang Yuechu, you brat, you actually dumped me in here and ran away, you just wait... for me."

Amidst the ruins, Zhuge Ming was mostly buried, with only his lower half exposed, facing Dongfang Yuechu. He laboriously stretched out his hand and made an international friendship gesture to Dongfang Yuechu before slumping down limply.

"Uh... damn it, you can't blame me for this. Besides, you caused this mess, why should I get beaten up?" Dongfang Yuechu's eyes widened, looking as if she were more wronged than Dou E.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Ming had already fainted and couldn't hear Dongfang Yuechu's explanation at all.

………………

"Sister Ya Ya, this is Tianjian Wine, a specialty of Tianjian Restaurant. It's a top-quality product. Would you like to try it?"

On the way, Dongfang Yuechu looked at Zhuge Ming's sycophantic behavior with disdain. Zhuge Ming, who had been beaten and unable to take care of himself just two days ago, showed him his deep contempt.

Zhuge Ming seemed to sense something and turned to look at Dongfang Yuechu, whose face was full of disdain. He said sarcastically, "I know what you're thinking. You were much better at licking your fairy sister than I was back then, you brat."

Dongfang Yuechu's eyes lit up, and he shamelessly replied, "So, even though I was being so obviously trying to curry favor with the fairy sister, she didn't refuse. I still have a good chance!"

Although Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was almost unable to resist the aroma of the wine, originally wanted to continue to act aloof, she couldn't help but interject after hearing Dongfang Yuechu's words: "Sister would never like you, you stinky cockroach. Don't flatter yourself."

Having been teased by Tu Shan Ya Ya for over ten years, Dongfang Yuechu naturally wouldn't take her words to heart. He turned to Zhuge Ming and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, Zhuge, I'm curious how you recovered so quickly when you looked like you were about to die just two days ago? I don't remember your physical condition being this good."

Zhuge Ming smiled mysteriously and did not answer. He quietly focused his mind on his body and saw that there were faint arrays constantly being tempered in the five internal organs of Zhuge Ming. This was the secret of the Zhuge Wolong Scroll.

The scroll only records one formation called the Body Tempering Formation. What makes this formation special is that it is not set up for others, but released for oneself. It uses the power of the galaxy to temper the five internal organs at all times, and then feeds back to the whole body through the five internal organs to achieve the effect of body tempering. Moreover, the more formations set up and the more detailed they are, the better the body tempering effect will be.

These past two days, Zhuge Ming's injuries have healed so quickly because he initially inscribed five formations within his body.

"So, where are we going now?" Tu Shan Ya Ya, having broken her aloof demeanor earlier, returned to her lively personality. After telling Zhuge Ming to put away her Heavenly Wine, she couldn't wait to ask him.

"Let's go back to Weicheng. I want to establish a small force there and see how it goes," Zhuge Ming said after a moment's thought.

"I won't go with you. I want to try joining the Dao Alliance's R&D department. If we work together, the progress will be faster." Dongfang Yuechu didn't intend to go with Zhuge Ming and Tu Shan Yaya.

In his view, firstly, he now has a very deep understanding of demonic power and magical power, and publishing papers in the research department can make him famous in the shortest time. Secondly, by cooperating with Zhuge Ming's forces, he might be able to reach the top of the Dao Alliance in the shortest time.

Secondly, he also wanted to make a quick getaway, because Dongfang Yuechu knew that Zhuge Ming was extremely unhappy about him leaving him in front of Tushan Yaya last time. Who knows what kind of bad ideas that hothead was plotting against him, so he had to escape quickly!

So, while Tu Shan Ya Ya looked on in confusion, Dongfang Yuechu pulled Zhuge Ming aside, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with an air of righteous indignation, "Hey Zhuge, I'm creating some time for you two, so you'd better seize the opportunity!"

Zhuge Ming glanced at Dongfang Yuechu and said in a sinister tone, "Oh? Should I thank you then?"

Dongfang Yuechu felt a little uneasy under Zhuge Ming's gaze. He released his hand from Zhuge Ming's shoulder, quickly distanced himself, and awkwardly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then, Sister Ya Ya, Zhuge, we'll take our leave here!"

Although Tu Shan Ya Ya was also reluctant to part with Dongfang Yuechu, given her proud and arrogant personality, she couldn't possibly hold him back. She could only stubbornly say, "You stinky cockroach, don't die before we even see you!"

Dongfang Yuechu smiled knowingly, naturally aware of Tushan Yaya's temperament, and said nothing more, turning away gracefully.

After watching Dongfang Yuechu leave, Zhuge Ming, no longer looking gloomy, let out a long sigh.

"You idiot, let's go."

………………

More than half a year later, in a teahouse in Weicheng.

"Hey, have you heard? In the past six months, a strange force called Mingyage has suddenly appeared in Weicheng. They only recruit young ordinary people and don't have a single member of aristocratic families."

"I've heard about it, but thinking about it, it makes sense. How could those scions of powerful families possibly join some kind of grassroots organization with no background or strength?"

"Hey, you know what, that Mingyage is really a bit strange. My friend told me that many forces that came to provoke them ended up disbanding inexplicably."

"Hiss, this is so eerie?"

At the Mingya Pavilion's headquarters, Tu Shan Ya Ya excitedly ran up to Zhuge Ming with a piece of intelligence in her hand.

"You idiot, look! It's a stinky cockroach!!"

At this moment, Zhuge Ming, who looked somewhat haggard from long-term fatigue, gleamed with a sharp light in his eyes.

"You, Dongfang Yuechu, have been gone for half a year without a single word. I thought you were dead!"

Chapter 48 "Tu Shan Ya Ya Who Took the Wrong Medicine"

Zhuge Ming opened the intelligence report in his hand; the first thing he saw was a flamboyant photo of Dongfang Yuechu. (Biquge.com)

"Dongfang Yuechu, a rising star at the Dao Alliance Baiqi Research Institute, has published several groundbreaking papers in less than six months since joining the institute, including 'On the Relationship Between Demonic Power and Magical Power,' instantly becoming famous!!!"

Zhuge Ming smiled and said in an annoyed tone, "Not bad, as expected of Dongfang Yuechu, you really did become famous in the Dao Alliance in a short time."

"By the way, you idiot, have you heard anything lately?" Tu Shan Ya Ya nodded excitedly at first, then asked nervously.

"What did you hear?"

Zhuge Ming certainly knew what Tu Shan Ya Ya was talking about. Recently, there was a rumor that the city lord of Mu Tian City had sent a message to the various demon kings saying that it was possible to resurrect a person or demon who wanted to be resurrected.

The news caused a great stir in both the human and demon realms, with countless people and demons flocking to Mutian City to find out what was going on.

After all, everyone has someone they want to be resurrected, and even if there's only a one in ten million chance that the news is true, people will still flock to it.

However, Zhuge Ming knew that this was a complete scam, and it was accompanied by great danger. Therefore, he did not want Tu Shan Ya Ya to get involved in this mess, so he could only pretend that he had not heard anything and hoped to get away with it.

"Hey! You idiot, stop lying to me! Have you forgotten what you promised me last time? You said you'd take me with you next time you have fun. You can't go back on your word. Believe me or not, I'll make you stay in bed for another two days!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya said angrily, naturally he did not believe that Zhuge Ming, with his abilities, would not know about such a big event that happened in the human and demon realms.

Zhuge Ming sighed, rubbing his forehead. Last time, he was beaten so badly that he had no choice but to say that he would bring Tu Shan Ya Ya next time. He never expected that it would come back to haunt him today. He really brought this on himself.

"Sister Ya Ya, you really have to go?"

"We absolutely have to go!!!"

"What if you run into your sister?"

This question left Tu Shan Ya Ya speechless. If her older sister found out that she had secretly slipped out, she would be scolded and wouldn't be able to play anymore.

Tu Shan Ya Ya pondered for a long time, and finally could only lower her head, saying dejectedly, "That's true, but what can we do? I really want to go and see this Mu Tian City..."
