The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

"Heavenly Lord, why did you suddenly decide to fight me? If it's just for the Heart of Northern Mountain, then that truly insults your title as the Demon Emperor of Northern Mountain..."

"Heh, is there any point in explaining the reasons now? A defeat is a defeat, and I have nothing to say about it," Shi Kuan said, turning his head.

At this point, Zhuge Ming didn't know what to say. Kill Shi Kuan? He wasn't that stunned. Whether in the long run or now, the power structure of the Four Emperors played a huge role in balancing the human and demon realms.

Once Shi Kuan dies, this balance will be broken, which is something Zhuge Ming is unwilling to see, and he believes that those hiding in the shadows would also be happy to see the world in chaos.

"My Lord, there's really no need for that. I only came to ask you for a favor. You don't need his speed here, so why can't you ask him to help me? What I need to find is something from over there!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Kuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, Gu Yi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, and Gou Tou cautiously leaned closer and said, "Boss, actually, I was the one who told Tian Jun you were coming to see me..."

Upon hearing this, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in Zhuge Ming's hand. He was no longer planning to eat dog meat that night; he decided to do it now!

Seeing the flame in Zhuge Ming's hand, Gu Yi was also startled and quickly explained, "Boss, don't misunderstand. In fact, the Heavenly Lord has been looking for you ever since the Mu Tian City incident a few years ago."

"Looking for me?" Zhuge Ming asked, puzzled.

"Yes, the Heavenly Lord said that he owes you a favor regarding the Heart of the Northern Mountain. You could have taken it away quietly, so he is very grateful that you were able to return it."

Zhuge Ming was even more bewildered after hearing this. He glanced at Shi Kuan with an unfriendly expression and said, "Is your way of thanking people to start a fight with me right away?"

Shi Kuan felt a little embarrassed by Zhuge Ming's strange gaze. It was actually his fault. As an extremely warlike demon, when he learned that Zhuge Ming, as a human, could also use the power of heaven and earth, he could no longer suppress his fighting spirit, which led to the scene of him directly coming up to fight Zhuge Ming just now.

“You are different from other humans. You are strong and special!” Shi Kuan stood up from the pit and stared at Zhuge Ming, saying each word clearly.

As they were talking, Zhuge Ming noticed that Shi Kuan's strength had been restored to about 70-80% with the replenishment of the power of heaven and earth, and even his injuries had been mostly healed.

"It's so sour."

"You're too kind, Heavenly Lord. I borrowed your Northern Mountain Heart first, so it should be returned to its rightful owner."

But in fact, Zhuge Ming knew that the Heart of Beishan could only play its role within the territory of Beishan, so it would be useless for him to take it away. Moreover, he had already comprehended the power of heaven and earth and had no need for this thing, so he returned it to Shi Kuan.

"No matter what, I owe you a favor." Shi Kuan shook his head.

"Then please allow me, Heavenly Lord, to investigate something for me."

"Whether he stays or goes is up to Gu Yi himself. I have never bound any of the demons within my Beishan territory. Let's change our request."

Zhuge Ming was taken aback. After thinking about it, he realized that it made sense. Although this guy was known as the Demon Emperor of Beishan, he basically never cared about the situation in Beishan. Unless it was a major event, he would usually stay at the city gate.

"Then please grant me one request, Heavenly Lord. If Tushan is in trouble in a few years, I beg you to lend a helping hand with all your might!" Zhuge Ming laughed heartily.

"Hmm? Tushan?"

Shi Kuan glanced at Zhuge Ming in surprise. He had thought that Zhuge Ming would make a request that would benefit humans or himself, but he did not expect it to be Tu Shan, who was also a demon.

However, Shi Kuan wasn't the kind of monster who liked to pry into people's privacy, so he nodded and said, "I agree to your request."

Zhuge Ming extended his hand to Shi Kuan: "Then thank you very much, Heavenly Lord!!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Kuan extended his right hand and shook hands with Zhuge Ming.

After a long while, Zhuge Ming reluctantly withdrew his hand despite the pain. He hadn't expected Shi Kuan to trick him like that; the handshake had almost made him cry out in pain.

"You bastard Shi Kuan, I never thought you, who seemed so honest on the outside, were such a vengeful person. So what if your men beat up your boss in front of you? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to retaliate against me? You just wait, you're on my little list!"

Seeing Shi Kuan's ambiguous smile, Zhuge Ming turned and vented his anger on Gu Yi: "Xiao Bai, let's go!!!"

"Woof!!"

As if by reflex, Yi ran to Zhuge Ming's side, his mind racing with thoughts.

"You promised to ask for my opinion? I knew my opinion was never important..." Well, it's not even evening yet and they're already starting to feel depressed online.

Zhuge Ming flipped himself onto the dog's back and said to Shi Kuan with a displeased expression, "My Lord, farewell!"

After saying that, he told Gu Yi to run forward.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"I don't know, let's get away from this guy first!"

"This guy? You mean the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Shut up, or I'll let you try our Chongqing spicy dog ​​meat hot pot tonight!"

"Awooo..."

…………

Watching the departing figures of the human and the demon, Shi Kuan smiled, a rare occurrence for him. He hadn't felt as carefree as he had since the princess's death.

"Tu Shan? This human is also a devoted lover..."

Recalling the familiar look in Zhuge Ming's eyes when he mentioned Tushan, Shi Kuan understood roughly why Zhuge Ming wanted him to help Tushan. This was also why he readily agreed to Zhuge Ming's request.

There's no other reason than that I can understand Zhuge Ming's feelings. He himself failed to protect his princess, so how could he allow himself to watch the same tragedy happen in front of him?

Until the man and the demon disappeared from Shi Kuan's sight, Shi Kuan's demonic power at the level of a Great Demon Emperor was completely restored. The fearsome Northern Mountain Demon Emperor was back!

Then Shi Kuan turned and walked towards the place that haunted his dreams, for only there could he seem to see his princess's voice and smile again...

Chapter Seventy-Four: "The Two"

"Boss, we're almost out of North Mountain, where are we going?"

Therefore, Yi strolled leisurely along the road. Since leaving Tianjun, his boss had suddenly become taciturn, not uttering a single word to him along the way, making his dog life quite lonely. (www.biqushu.net)

"Ok?"

Zhuge Ming came to his senses. Just now, while lying on Gu Yi's back, he thought about the days he spent adventuring with Tu Shan Ya Ya and Dongfang Yuechu (mainly Tu Shan Ya Ya, with Dongfang Yuechu just incidental). For a moment, he had completely forgotten about Gu Yi.

Zhuge Ming rolled over, and surprisingly, he felt very comfortable and secure on Gu Yi's back, so much so that he didn't want to get up.

"Let's go to the Beishan border first; someone there will meet us."

"Oh... Boss, do you like that little devil?" Gu Yi hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking Zhuge Ming.

"Gu Yi, I remember you also made a contract with someone about reincarnation and continuing your destiny, right?" Zhuge Ming did not answer directly, but instead asked Gu Yi in return.

Gu Yi rubbed his head and said dejectedly, "Yes, I did make a vow to be reborn into a human's body, but I have absolutely no memory of her..."

Zhuge Ming looked at the azure sky, stretched out his hand and clenched it in the air, and said casually, "For a demon who is reincarnated to continue a predestined relationship, the process of waiting for the reincarnation of a beloved must be very difficult, right?"

Therefore, Yi did not answer, nor did he need to answer the question. How many demons waited foolishly for their lovers to be reincarnated in each life, but for various reasons, they had to watch their lovers marry and have children with other people? How many people could endure such pain?

Everyone thought that reincarnation and continuing one's destiny in Tushan was a wonderful thing, but those demons who had actually experienced it knew that behind the seemingly beautiful facade lay endless waiting.

"It's not hard at all, haha, boss, look at me, I'm living a carefree life too, aren't I?" Gu Yi sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, so he smiled awkwardly and said in a relaxed manner.

“Yes…” Zhuge Ming was also unwilling to continue dwelling on this topic, so he smiled casually and agreed with Gu Yi’s statement.

"However, Gu Yi, are you really that carefree? If you were, you wouldn't have gone to Mu Tian City..." Feeling Gu Yi's obviously somewhat strange body beneath him, Zhuge Ming sighed inwardly.

He had considered helping Gu Yi, since Gu Yi called him "boss," but he was not as professional as Tu Shan in this area, and he didn't know how to help.

"Who is it?" Gu Yi suddenly stopped and looked warily in a certain direction.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!" A large group of men in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Gu Yi and Zhuge Ming in the blink of an eye.

Just as Gu Yi was preparing for battle, thinking the newcomers were hostile, the men in black suddenly knelt on one knee and respectfully addressed Zhuge Ming, who was on Gu Yi's back, saying, "Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

Zhuge Ming was not surprised at all. He waved to them and asked, "Chen Wan, how's the investigation I asked you to do?"

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, according to reports from our subordinates, there are unusual circumstances in the Southern Kingdom's capital, which match the situation you asked us to investigate."

Zhuge Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Go back to the Dao Alliance, I don't need you here."

"yes!!!!"

The shadows around them vanished in the next breath.

Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Zhuge Ming, who was still deep in thought on his back, "Boss, who are they?"

This question stumped Zhuge Ming. These people were actually the intelligence department of the Dao Alliance, which was a branch of the Hidden Dragon. A few years ago, after Zhuge Ming came out of Tushan, this man named Chen Wan came to him, crying and saying that he had finally found the Pavilion Master and so on.

After Zhuge Ming finally managed to calm him down, he learned that Chen Wan was the current deputy head of the Dao Alliance's intelligence department and a trusted confidant whom Zhuge Wolong had personally promoted.

Zhuge Ming immediately realized that he was being treated as Zhuge Zhuge again, but this time he did not rush to refuse. Instead, he accepted it and used it to gain control of the huge intelligence department to provide him with information about Black Fox.

However, it's not easy to say these things to Gu Yi, since pretending to be someone else is a bit disingenuous.

"The capital of the Southern Kingdom? Heh, they really know how to pick a place. Since the old Poison Emperor fought with Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye many years ago, he has been staying in Wuhuang Mountain to heal his wounds. The Southern Kingdom has no great demon emperor-level combat power to guard it. It's really a good place." Zhuge Ming sneered.

"I let you escape last time, but I won't let you off so easily this time! Little White, let's go, destination: the Southern Capital, let's go!"

"Awoo!!" Gu Yi let out a very polite bark, probably afraid that if he didn't, he'd be turned into dog meat hot pot tonight.

........................

Tushan remains the same mountain peak.

Dressed in green, Tu Shan Rongrong squinted at the little fox demon sitting blankly by the mountainside.

"Ever since that person left, my sister comes here every day to just sit and daydream!"

Several years ago, Zhuge Ming set up the Mirror Flower Water Moon formation to prevent Tu Shan Ya Ya from discovering his departure. However, a formation is still a formation, and without Zhuge Ming's magical power, it was not long before Tu Shan Ya Ya saw through it.

Tu Shan Rongrong still remembered that after Tu Shan Ya Ya discovered Zhuge Ming had left, the first thing she did was suddenly fly out of Tu Shan, shouting as she flew, "You stupid idiot, you lied to me again!!!"

But she was still too late; Zhuge Ming had already left Tushan some time ago.

From that day on, Tu Shan Rongrong noticed that the Ya Ya sister who used to jump around Tu Shan every day was gone; she had become much quieter.

She would start staring blankly at something, she would inexplicably giggle at her endless wine jug, and she would inexplicably get angry.

She would often just sit there lost in thought when she was alone. She stopped bothering the flower fairies and small animals. All she did every day was help her sister patrol, and come here, come here...

"What is love in this world, that it makes the Magpie Bridge unable to cross the bitterness of longing, and the butterfly unable to gather the sweetness of a shared heart?" A leisurely voice came from behind Tu Shan Rongrong.

"Sister Cui, what brings you here?" Tu Shan Rongrong knew without turning her head that the person who came was none other than her sister's best friend, Cui Yuling.

“Honghong said she noticed Yaya was acting strangely during her patrols lately, often spacing out, and was worried something might happen to her, so she asked me to come and check on her. But it seems I'm not needed now,” Cuiyu Ling teased.

"Oh? Did your sister notice too?"

"Yes, it's hard for your sister not to notice how fast Ya Ya's demonic power has been increasing lately..."

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Six-Tailed Black Fox

“Yes, the power of a fox demon originates from deep emotions. Sister Ya Ya’s current situation is too similar to that of Sister Hong Hong back then…” Tu Shan Rong Rong narrowed her eyes. From her perspective, the demon power on Tu Shan Ya Ya’s body was increasing at an extremely fast speed. Although the increase was small, it was very obvious.

"Rongrong, look, both of your older sisters have suitors. You... you won't be single, will you?" Cui Yuling teased, then deliberately peeked out at Tu Shan Rongrong's flat-chested front.
