The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

Zhuge Ming glared at Dongfang Yuechu, who was probably already captivated by Tushan Honghong. Although he had a million "mmp"s he wanted to say to him and express the grievances of all single people, he suppressed the thought because the current situation was not appropriate.

Chapter Eight: "Encounter, Tu Shan Ya Ya"

At this moment, Dongfang Yuechu's face was slightly flushed as he stared blankly at Tushan Honghong, seemingly lost in thought.

With a loud bang, the Tiger and Crane Immortals were slammed heavily to the ground. On the other hand, although Ximen Chuisha was also knocked away, he waved his fan in mid-air and summoned two whirlwinds to stabilize himself. He then landed steadily on his wheelchair and looked up at the beautiful figure.

"Oh dear, could you be the mistress of this place, Miss Tushan Honghong? My apologies for not being more respectful."

"Tushan is under my protection, understand?" Tushan Honghong tilted her head, her eyes quickly turning red. She used her demonic power to vibrate the air, emitting a cold and domineering voice.

"Hehe, as expected of Tu Shan Hong Hong, she still speaks with such domineering power." Zhuge Ming felt a surge of excitement as he looked at Tu Shan Hong Hong, who was speaking with the most domineering words in a cool manner.

"I understand, I understand, but the three of us just leaped up and did not set foot in the Tushan territory. Could you please pretend nothing happened and let us leave?" Ximen Chuisha broke out in a cold sweat and quickly tried to appear weak.

"No, this airspace is also under my protection." Tu Shan Hong Hong completely ignored Xi Men Chui Sha's show of weakness and pressed him step by step, clearly not wanting to let the three go easily.

"Uh, heh, Miss Honghong, the two of you on the ground have understood what she said, right?"

Because Tu Shan Honghong had launched a surprise attack, and given that she had stopped killing people after the incident with the little Taoist priest, she naturally held back some of her strength. Therefore, in Ximen Chuisha's view, even though he was ambushed, he was not injured, which meant that Tu Shan Honghong's strength was nothing special.

However, Tu Shan Hong Hong's reputation was widespread, and Ximen Chuisha did not dare to act rashly. So he decided to observe first, let those two idiots go up and test Tu Shan Hong Hong's strength, and then find an opportunity to make his move.

The Tiger and Crane Immortals knew they were no match for the other, and if they didn't seize the initiative, they would have no chance at all. Although they knew that Ximen Chuisha was deliberately provoking them, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge towards Tushan Honghong under the lure of the Eastern bloodline.

Tu Shan Honghong had long anticipated that these three would not obediently surrender, so she remained calm when she saw the Tiger and Crane Immortals suddenly rushing forward. Her body transformed into red light as she met the two.

"Ugh, ah!" In just one exchange, He Xian was trampled under Tu Shan Hong Hong's feet, accompanied by the ground beneath him shattering.

"Ugh, so violent, so bloody." Looking at He Xian's miserable state, Zhuge Ming felt a pang of sympathy. After all, he had taken a kick from Tu Shan Hong Hong head-on, and even took it with his face. Just thinking about it made him feel terrible.

"Tiger and Crane Immortals, Tiger in front." Tiger Immortal was shocked to see Crane Immortal instantly killed, knowing he was probably doomed this time. But the die was cast, so he roared and poured all his magic power into his right hand, striking Tushan Honghong, who was not paying attention to him at the time.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yuechu, who was watching his fairy sister display her divine power from the side, saw the tiger fairy make a fierce move. Worried about Tushan Honghong's safety, he shouted, "Sister, be careful!"

Seeing that the plot was developing in the direction he knew, Zhuge Ming felt relieved and began to tease Dongfang Yuechu: "Why are you so concerned about him? Could it be, hehe, that you've fallen for him?"

However, Dongfang Yuechu was completely focused on Tushan Honghong and didn't hear what Zhuge Ming was saying at all. Zhuge Ming looked at Dongfang Yuechu's lecherous face and felt bored.

Regardless of how intense the battle was ahead, he stood up and walked towards the other two not-too-strong demonic auras he sensed. Since the outcome was already known, a battle with no suspense couldn't possibly attract Zhuge Ming's attention.

"Hello, my name is Zhuge Ming. May I ask your name, young lady?" From behind, Zhuge Ming looked at the little fox demon in front of him with long black hair, ears like Tu Shan Hong Hong, and a small figure carrying a wine gourd as big as himself on her back, and showed what he thought was his most beautiful smile.

The fox demon had a pair of bright, clear eyes, sparkling like stars. Upon hearing Zhuge Ming's words, she initially looked surprised, but then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she smiled excitedly at him, her eyes curving like crescent moons, as if overflowing with spiritual energy. With every smile and gesture, a noble air naturally emanated from her, leaving one in awe of her refined and ethereal beauty.

Tu Shan Ya Ya didn't answer Zhuge Ming. Instead, she turned to the cute fox demon beside her with knee-length green hair, a flat chest, and squinting eyes. She laughed and said, "Rong Rong, come quick! There's a silly little Taoist priest here. He actually asked me if I could ask for your name, young lady? Haha, doesn't he know we're demons?"

Zhuge Ming certainly knew who these two fox demons were, but it was still a bit strange to call out the name of someone he didn't know at all. In his previous life, Zhuge Ming's favorite character in this anime was this arrogant little fox demon in front of him. In addition, he had never been in love before and didn't know what to say to a girl on their first meeting, so he could only use this most ancient greeting to break the ice.

"Indeed... he does look a bit dull." Tu Shan Rongrong was also taken aback by Zhuge Ming's outburst, and replied with narrowed eyes. However, her eyes were carefully scrutinizing Zhuge Ming, occasionally revealing a dangerous glint.

Seeing that he was being ignored, even Zhuge Ming, with his thick skin, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He muttered to himself, "It doesn't make sense. I'm quite handsome, so why does that phrase work every time on those young masters, but it fails me?"

"Hey, my name is Tu Shan Ya Ya. We're monsters, you know. Aren't you afraid we'll eat you up?" Tu Shan Ya Ya forced back her laughter, then put on a fierce expression, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws as she spoke to Zhuge Ming, her expression as if she really was about to devour him at any moment.

"Don't be afraid, because I know that you Tushan fox demons never kill people."

Seeing Tu Shan Ya Ya's cute, feigned fierceness, Zhuge Ming couldn't help but smile. He unconsciously placed his hand on Tu Shan Ya Ya's head, gently stroking her soft, long hair, and said to her with a smile.

After being patted on the head by Zhuge Ming, Tu Shan Ya Ya was stunned, and the expression on her face froze instantly.

At that moment, the world seemed to fall silent. Tu Shan Rongrong stared blankly at the scene before her, as if she had already guessed what would happen next.

"We're doomed! How dare that little Taoist priest touch my sister's head? He's dead now."

With a roar of rage like a volcanic eruption in her heart, Tu Shan Ya Ya threw a punch at Zhuge Ming's face.

Why did you suddenly hit me?

Zhuge Ming, the ultimate straight man, had no idea why Tu Shan Ya Ya, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, had suddenly turned on him. He could only barely dodge Tu Shan Ya Ya's punch and quickly retreated backward.

"Damn it, you dare to play tricks on me! Don't let me catch you, or I'll show you why flowers are so red!" Seeing that her first attack missed, Tu Shan Ya Ya swung her fist and charged at Zhuge Ming again.

Seeing Tu Shan Ya Ya suddenly become agitated for no apparent reason, Zhuge Ming was also puzzled, but he couldn't fight back. Staying there would only result in him being beaten for nothing, so he had no choice but to run away into the distance.

"Stop running! You stop right there!" Tu Shan Ya Ya stomped her foot in exasperation as she watched Zhuge Ming's figure gradually disappear into the distance. Then, she shouted as she chased after Zhuge Ming.

"Sigh, sister." Tu Shan Rongrong seemed to want to call out to Tu Shan Ya Ya, but thinking that Tu Shan Ya Ya was burning with anger and unlikely to listen, she gave up and sighed helplessly before walking towards Tu Shan Hong Hong, who had already finished her battle.

After all, Tu Shan Hong Hong also needed her help, and based on her observation of Zhuge Ming just now, Tu Shan Rong Rong believed that Tu Shan Ya Ya's strength was sufficient to deal with Zhuge Ming, so she did not chase after the two of them.

"Great, now we can collect money again."

Chapter Nine: "Tu Shan Ya Ya's Crisis"

On the border of Tushan, deep in the forest.

"Stop right there, you idiot! Don't run away! You dare touch my head? You're dead today!!!" In the forest, a cute little fox demon was rapidly moving among the trees, her eyes fixed on the back of the little boy in front of her.

Hearing Tu Shan Ya Ya's still furious voice from behind, Zhuge Ming also complained bitterly.

"What a wonderful start, but why did it suddenly turn out like this? I should have known better than to be so foolish. But seeing how cute Ya Ya is, it was just an instinctive reaction to do something. Sigh... But Ya Ya's hair is indeed quite soft."

"Damn it, that idiot runs so fast." Tu Shan Ya Ya watched the figure getting further and further away in front of her. After several attempts, she finally realized that she really couldn't catch up with Zhuge Ming. So Tu Shan Ya Ya stopped, circulated her demon power, and cast an ice spell at Zhuge Ming.

A crystal-clear glacial path emerged from beneath Tu Shan Ya Ya's feet and then sped toward Zhuge Ming, who was still running without realizing it.

"Holy crap, what is this?" Zhuge Ming suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw only a patch of ice. He only had time to yell before his entire body was covered in ice, turning him into an ice sculpture in a running posture.

"Hmph, you stupid fool, you can run pretty fast, but I'm still the best. You still got caught by me, didn't you?" Seeing that her magic had worked, Tu Shan Ya Ya ran slowly towards Zhuge Ming, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture, wanting to thaw him so she could give him a good beating to vent her anger.

Tu Shan Ya Ya walked up to Zhuge Ming, looked at him in the ice sculpture, a mischievous smile on her face, and said to him with ill intent:

"How's it going, you idiot? Why aren't you running anymore? You were supposed to be a fast runner, weren't you? Are you feeling cold in there? It's okay, I'll let you out right now, and you won't feel cold anymore. But you'll feel a burning pain soon!!"

"Sigh, maybe we shouldn't go out. Let this girl vent her anger, otherwise she'll keep chasing after me endlessly, which would be a real problem."

Although it appeared as if Zhuge Ming had been hit by Tu Shan Ya Ya's magic and his entire body was frozen, in reality, Zhuge Ming had already covered his entire body with his own magic power before the ice covered him.

Because of the unique nature of Zhuge Ming's magical power, Tu Shan Ya Ya's cold aura did not freeze Zhuge Ming; it was merely as if Zhuge Ming's body was covered with a layer of ice, which he could easily break free of with a little effort.

However, Zhuge Ming dared not go out, because with Tu Shan Ya Ya's temper, she would definitely be even angrier if she saw that his cold energy spell was ineffective, and she would definitely chase him endlessly, which would be a loss.

Just as Tu Shan Ya Ya was about to undo the spell, a large net suddenly fell from the sky and tried to bind her. Upon seeing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya quickly dodged backward.

"Haha, today is truly a double celebration. We just completed a transaction, and now we've encountered a lone Tushan Fold-eared Fox. If we sell it to the Celestial Academy, it will definitely fetch a good price."

With a burst of wild laughter, a fat figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Who are you, you idiot? How dare you ambush me? You're asking for death!" Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was about to teach Zhuge Ming a lesson, was suddenly ambushed. Coupled with the previous ambush, her tone was naturally extremely unfriendly.

"Little fox demon, you're not very old, but you have quite a temper. But that's alright. I'll send you to the Celestial Academy to train you and see if you can still be so quick-witted."

The fat Taoist was furious after hearing Tu Shan Ya Ya's words. After retorting, he began chanting incantations and took out a talisman from his pocket, throwing it into the air.

The talisman emitted a blinding light, and then several chains extended from it, shooting out in all directions at incredible speed and plunging into the ground. Runes emerged from the chains, forming walls of runes. In an instant, this area seemed to be isolated from the outside world; not a sound or smell could be heard or detected.

Although Tu Shan Ya Ya didn't know what the talisman was, she sensed the change in her surroundings and realized that it might be detrimental to her, so she punched the wall of runes.

"Boom."

With a clang of metal striking metal, Tu Shan Ya Ya was thrown back by the rune wall, which only flashed briefly before returning to normal.

"Hahaha, I advise you not to waste your energy. This is a Heavenly Seal Talisman that I bought at a high price from the Dao Alliance. Once this talisman is activated, the entire area within a hundred meters will be sealed off. Even smells and sounds cannot be transmitted. Monsters below the Demon King level will absolutely not be able to break through the seal, and the outside world will not be able to sense you. So don't even think that Tu Shan Hong Hong will come to save you." The fat Taoist laughed arrogantly and mocked Tu Shan Ya Ya as he saw her being thrown away.

"Bah! Since we can't get out, I'll beat you to a pulp first and see if you can still laugh then. Endless wine jug, fill it up!"

Having been sent flying, Tu Shan Ya Ya regained her footing, realizing she probably couldn't break the damned talisman. She then focused her attention on the fat Taoist, let out a loud shout, and drank all the wine from the Endless Wine Pot. As her demonic power surged, three adorable little tails appeared behind her. (Because Tu Shan Ya Ya's current cultivation level is insufficient, she can only activate three tails at this point.)

"Hiccup." Tu Shan Ya Ya hiccuped, slammed the Endless Wine Pot on the ground, and then leaped up. With a loud bang, spiderweb-like patterns appeared where Tu Shan Ya Ya had just stood. She rushed toward the fat Taoist at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The fat Taoist was also taken aback when he saw Tu Shan Ya Ya, whose demonic power had greatly increased, suddenly appear in front of him. He quickly summoned a large net to wrap around Tu Shan Ya Ya.

Tu Shan Ya Ya looked at the large net in front of her, but did not dodge it. She burst out with all her demonic power. With a tearing sound, the fat Taoist's magic net was torn apart by Tu Shan Ya Ya's violent demonic power and fist. Tu Shan Ya Ya's fist, which had broken through the fat Taoist's magic net, did not lose momentum. Her fist slammed hard into the fat Taoist, whose eyes were full of disbelief.

"Pfft." As Tu Shan Ya Ya's fist slammed into the fat Taoist, the fat Taoist first spat out a mouthful of blood, then his body flew backward rapidly, crashing hard into the rune wall. As he slid to the ground, he spat out another mouthful of blood, lying on the ground looking half-dead.

"Hiccup... Now you... know... how powerful your grandma is... hiccup... right?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya stood there, her face flushed, her body swaying unsteadily, as if she couldn't even stand up straight. She was clearly drunk from drinking too much...

However, being drunk, she didn't notice that there was a yellow talisman covered with runes on her arm. Meanwhile, the fat Taoist priest who had been lying half-dead on the ground struggled to his feet. He wiped the blood from his mouth, then made hand seals and muttered some incantations.

"Having endured my sister's... hiccup... one exorcism move... I can actually... hiccup... still stand up. Since... you're courting death, then this grandma... hiccup... will grant your wish." Tu Shan Ya Ya saw the fat Taoist stand up again, so she began to activate her demonic power once more.

Actually, Tu Shan Ya Ya deliberately held back a bit of her strength just now because she didn't want to break her sister's rule of not killing people for so many years. However, the fat Taoist's behavior and words completely enraged her. In addition, Tu Shan Ya Ya was drunk and not very clear-headed, so she couldn't care less about anything else. She directly unleashed her full demon power, preparing to make the fat Taoist completely unable to get up in the next move.

However, just as Tu Shan Ya Ya was about to activate her demonic power, the talisman on her arm emitted light, and then Tu Shan Ya Ya found that no matter how she tried, she could not mobilize the demonic power in her body.

Upon seeing this, the fat Taoist couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, saying, "What's wrong with the little fox demon? Is it that you can't mobilize your demonic power? Hahaha, when you hit me just now, I took the opportunity to stick the demon-suppressing talisman on your hand. With it on you, you won't be able to mobilize a single bit of demonic power."

Taking advantage of Tu Shan Ya Ya's inability to mobilize her demonic power, the fat Taoist flashed to Tu Shan Ya Ya's side and knocked her unconscious.

"Cough cough, this little fox demon is really strong. If I hadn't been so careful to keep my life close to my body and worn the Heavenly Silkworm Armor all the time, that one blow would have killed me. But after all that effort, I finally caught it. I'm rich this time."

The fat Taoist looked at the unconscious Tu Shan Ya Ya, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said with lingering fear.

Chapter Ten: "Formation Compression"

Thinking of this, the fat Taoist dared not be careless at all when he saw Tu Shan Ya Ya still unconscious on the ground. He quickly took out more talismans that were the same as those on Tu Shan Ya Ya's arm and stuck them on Tu Shan Ya Ya's body. Only after doing this did the fat Taoist feel completely relieved.

Just then, Zhuge Ming suddenly broke out of the ice, made a hand seal, and threw a ball of light at the fat Taoist.

The fat Taoist remained completely unfazed by Zhuge Ming's sudden attack, as he had known from the beginning that Zhuge Ming was trapped in the ice. However, he wasn't overly concerned about an attack from a mere Spirit Guiding Realm cultivator. With a slight movement, he dodged Zhuge Ming's ball of light and then turned to Zhuge Ming, teasingly saying:

"Good lad, I just saved you from this monster. Instead of being grateful, you actually tried to ambush me."

"Very well, after all, I can't let you spread what happened today. I've killed countless reckless brats like you, so I don't care about killing one more. Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

The fat Taoist priest began to exude a powerful magical energy. He squinted and looked at Zhuge Ming with utter contempt.

But Zhuge Ming gave a sly smile, pointed at the fat Taoist's feet, and laughed, "You fatso, did your mother ever teach you to watch your step? Explode!"

The fat Taoist was startled and looked down at his feet. He saw that the ball of light that he had dodged earlier was now shining brightly and then quickly spread out, enveloping the fat Taoist.

"What?" the fat Taoist priest exclaimed in surprise, and then he was trapped in the formation.

"Even if you're very skilled, my combination of dozens of basic formations is enough to give you a hard time." Zhuge Ming looked at the fat Taoist struggling to cope within the formation with satisfaction, and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

What? You're asking why Zhuge Ming didn't make a move earlier? Actually, the reason he didn't make a move was because Zhuge Ming knew that he was just a newbie who had only recently entered the world of cultivation. By observing the fluctuations of magical power on the fat Taoist, Zhuge Ming already knew that although this despicable guy used underhanded methods, he was actually a genuine tough guy. If he were to fight Tu Shan Ya Ya head-on, he would only be adding to Tu Shan Ya Ya's burden.

Moreover, Tu Shan Ya Ya might be able to defeat this fat Taoist priest. If that happened, wouldn't Zhuge Ming's entire plan be exposed? He might even die a more miserable death. Therefore, Zhuge Ming carefully inscribed array seals inside the ice to prevent any accidents so he could use the array to trap the fat Taoist priest and take Tu Shan Ya Ya away.

So, the moment he saw the fat Taoist relax his guard, Zhuge Ming used the special properties of his magic to compress dozens of formations into a ball of light and threw it at the fat Taoist, which led to the scene just now.

However, Zhuge Ming was also aware that his current strength was still too weak. In his haste, he had only drawn some basic magic arrays to trap the enemy. At most, they could only trap the fat Taoist for a while. After all, the fat Taoist was a man who had been licking blood from the edge of a knife for many years, and he was not someone that Zhuge Ming could handle at his current level.

So Zhuge Ming walked up to Tu Shan Ya Ya, gently tore off the talisman from her body, and then gently picked up Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was still unconscious on the ground, and let her little head rest on his body.
