The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

Zhuge Ming, of course, had no idea what a magnificent image that wonderful misunderstanding had left in Li Muchen's young mind.

However, Zhuge Ming's heart was already filled with that arrogant little fox demon, so how could he possibly have room for Li Muchen, whom he had always treated as a younger sister?

Therefore, faced with Li Muchen's inexplicable feelings, Zhuge Ming could only choose to pretend to be confused and turn a blind eye.

Although this is somewhat cruel to Li Muchen, you can get a straight man like Zhuge Ming to fight and scheme against others, but it's really difficult for him to deal with emotional matters.

As for Wang Quanzui, Zhuge Ming simply chose to ignore her, because she couldn't distinguish between admiration and liking, which was different from Li Muchen.

Zhuge Ming could clearly see the same look in Li Muchen's eyes as he looked at Tu Shan Ya Ya, which was why he was so certain that Li Muchen was truly in love.

As for Wang Quanzui... cough cough, to exaggerate a bit, in her mind Zhuge Ming was probably just a rather interesting plush toy.

Getting back to the point, after hearing Aoki Yuan's words, Wang Quanzui also exclaimed in surprise amidst Zhuge Ming's utterly dejected expression.

"What?! You're saying Second Brother already has someone he likes?!"

Her shout made it impossible for Wang Quanba to continue the conversation. Although he was angry that his younger sister was not listening, he was also very interested in the news.

"Huh? What do you mean? You mean Kongming actually has someone he likes?"

Wang Quanba didn't even mention the precautions, and immediately came forward to interrogate Wang Quanzui. Even through that comical mask, Wang Quanzui could see the burning gossip in his older brother's eyes!

"?! ...

Upon hearing this, the masked boys, at Wang Quanba's prompting, also surrounded Zhuge Ming.

"Second brother, tell me honestly, which family's little girl is so unlucky to have been ruined by you?"

"That's right, that's right! Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!!"

"I never expected that my usually low-key second brother would not only be ahead of us in terms of ability, but also in finding a partner. Sigh, I'm impressed."

……

Zhuge Ming looked at his brothers who were chattering around him with a dark expression, and sighed helplessly.

He spread his hands, feigning helplessness, and said, "Alright, alright, I admit it, you do have a second sister-in-law."

"Depend on!!!"

At this moment, Wang Quanba and the others had remarkably similar expressions and tones.

"However, your second sister-in-law is not human; she is a demon, a somewhat dim-witted fox demon from Tushan!"

Thinking of Tu Shan Ya Ya's sometimes silly and cute appearance, Zhuge Ming couldn't help but smile.

These words were like a bombshell, and the masked figures fell silent for a moment.

Because in their view, the relationship between humans and demons is extremely tense nowadays, and any encounter between them is basically a life-or-death situation. Against this backdrop, they defy the world's condemnation and fall in love with a demon...

"I can only say that he truly lives up to his reputation as the second brother," Yang sighed, and the others nodded in agreement.

"So, if you ever encounter a fox demon named Tu Shan Ya Ya, please don't hurt her, or else... hmph!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit serious, Zhuge Ming deliberately made a joke and threatened everyone.

"Hey, don't worry, how could we dare to hurt Second Sister-in-law? We'd be too grateful to even think about showing her any respect, right, Boss?"

Li Quzhuo also realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere and quickly picked up where Zhuge Ming left off.

Wang Quanba and the others also came to their senses and nodded repeatedly.

What Zhuge Ming didn't realize was that his joke, made to ease the tension, would indeed save Tu Shan Ya Ya's life decades later.

This explains why the masked figures were able to let Tu Shan Ya Ya leave so easily after she was possessed by the black fox.

After the playful antics, Wang Quanbaye returned to normal.

"Alright, alright, enough gossip. We should get down to business. Don't think I'm being long-winded, but I want to emphasize again: no matter what happens, please, please don't lose your lives. Your safety is the top priority."

I hope that next time we can all appear here unharmed, just like we did today!

"Yes, boss!" The crowd felt a warmth in their hearts and responded loudly.

"Set off!!!"

……

On the southern border, outside a small town, two women, one older and one younger, are walking down the street with umbrellas.

"Sister, there's not a soul around here! I've almost finished my candied hawthorns!"

The little girl looked at the eerie surroundings without showing any fear. Instead, she stuffed the few candied hawthorns she had into her mouth and said with dissatisfaction.

The woman was dressed in green, holding a long green flute in her hand, and had a small divine fire mark on her forehead. She was truly beautiful and gentle.

She glanced helplessly at her younger sister and said gently, "Qin Lan, Father sent us here to exorcise demons, not to come out and play..."

These two women are the daughters of the current head of Shenhuoshan Manor, and descendants of the Eastern Spirit Clan, the sisters Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan.

"Yes, yes, but my dear sister, shouldn't we find a place to stay first? Otherwise, your lovely sister will be left homeless."

Dongfang Qinlan nonchalantly finished the candied hawthorn in her hand, then looked pitifully at Dongfang Huaizhu.

Dongfang Huaizhu sighed helplessly. She really had no way to deal with her quirky younger sister, so she could only go along with her and say, "Alright, there seems to be an inn ahead. Let's stay there for the night."

"Yay, long live the big sister!!"

Chapter Ninety-Six: "A Bamboo Sister Fell From the Sky?"

"Hey Ba Ye, what's wrong with you today? Why are you flying so fast..."

In the sky, Wang Quanba, for some unknown reason, frantically channeled his magic power to fly ahead, seemingly eager to leave the leisurely Zhuge Ming far behind.

"Emmm, second brother, I think the eldest brother is probably... traumatized. Think about it, you quietly... gave us... a second sister-in-law. It's hard for the eldest brother not to be jealous...sigh..."

Behind them, Li Quzhuo, who was barely keeping up with Zhuge Ming, was also panting heavily. His magical power was not as good as Zhuge Ming's, so he was also a little out of breath at this time.

"Huh? Fifth Brother, what did you say?"

Suddenly, Wang Quanbaye in front of him vanished and appeared behind Li Quzhuo like a ghost, staring at him with his "kind" eyes.

"Ugh... Second Brother, save me!!" Li Quzhuo let out a timely scream.

Wang Quanba rolled his eyes at the prankster, then shook his head and explained, "I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy today. It's like something important is about to happen to me, which is why I'm a bit anxious."

"Ok?"

Zhuge Ming was not surprised that Wang Quanba had this feeling. As a top swordsman, Wang Quanba's perception was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so this phenomenon was to be expected.

Of course he knew what kind of romantic encounter this kid would have next, otherwise he wouldn't have assigned himself to be with him so that he could easily learn from him... cough cough, sorry, I mean witness his love.

Of course, Zhuge Ming felt no envy whatsoever about this "flash marriage," nor did he feel the slightest jealousy towards Wang Quanba's womanizing skills—not at all!

Just as Zhuge Ming was pondering how Dongfang Huaizhu would appear before them, a gust of wind blew by, and a beautiful figure suddenly appeared before Wang Quanba Ye.

"????! ...

Zhuge Ming stared blankly at the comical-looking man whose reactions were many times faster than usual, as he steadily caught the falling figure on his sword, inwardly cursing him wildly.

"Huh? Where did this girl come from?" Li Quzhuo's brain didn't process it for a while.

Zhuge Ming glared at him, his eyes filled with contempt, as if to say, "Do you know why you'll still be a single dog while your boss already has kids who can run errands? That's the difference!"

Below, Wang Quanba gently placed Dongfang Huaizhu on the ground and then hurriedly retreated, at a loss. He swore that this was the first time in his life that he had been so intimate with a girl other than his sister.

However, looking at Dongfang Huaizhu's stunning sleeping face, Wang Quanba Ye was unknowingly captivated.

At this moment, Zhuge Ming and Li Quzhuo also landed slowly. Looking at Wang Quanba Ye, who was staring at the girl's face like a fool, Zhuge Ming also looked disdainful.

"Tch, you old pervert."

"Yes, that's right, you old pervert!"

Although Li Quzhuo didn't know what "old pervert" meant, it didn't stop him from echoing his second brother and expressing his contempt for his eldest brother.

"Ahem, I was checking on this young lady's injuries."

Wang Quanba blushed and quickly looked away from Dongfang Huaizhu, then began the classic tactic of changing the subject to cover up his embarrassment.

"By the way, do you guys know this girl? Judging from her magical energy fluctuations, she should be human."

Zhuge Ming naturally knew he was changing the subject, but he wasn't going to continue being sarcastic. After pretending to observe for a while, he replied:

"Look at the divine fire mark on her forehead, this should be Dongfang Huaizhu, the eldest daughter of the Divine Fire Mountain Manor, a demon-slaying family of the Dao Alliance that is as famous as yours!"

“Dongfang Huaizhu…” Wang Quanba murmured.

"Why would the young lady of Shenhuoshan Manor come to this southern country and be unconscious here all by herself?" Li Quzhuo asked in confusion.

"I don't know, but it's probably related to that spider demon."

A chill ran through Wang Quanba's eyes; he had naturally heard of this spider demon.

Recently, a spider monster has appeared near the southern region. Locals say it's been capturing people everywhere, so they were planning to get rid of this menace before going to see the circle.

"You're courting death!!" Wang Quanba shouted in a low voice.

"Seriously? You're already protecting your wife before you even know her?" Zhuge Ming thought to himself.

Good heavens, this guy is a master of double standards. He's completely forgotten what he did for Tu Shan Ya Ya.

"What do we do now?"

"Alright, Qu Zhuo and I will go and find out what's going on first. Ba Ye, you stay here and watch over this girl. When she wakes up, you can bring him and join us."

It may be bittersweet, but my brother's lifelong happiness must come first.

After giving Wang Quanba a knowing look, Zhuge Ming grabbed the bewildered Li Quzhuo and disappeared from Wang Quanba's sight in the blink of an eye.

Although Wang Quanba was somewhat speechless that they had just abandoned him like this, he still silently gave Zhuge Ming a thumbs up for his actions.

"Good brother, you understand me!"

Wang Quanba shook his head, banishing the strange thoughts from his mind, and couldn't help but glance at Dongfang Huaizhu, who was lying on the ground like a sleeping beauty.

He pushed off with his feet and jumped onto the tree, whereupon he held his sword and began to quietly guard Dongfang Huaizhu.

Could my palpitations today be because of you?

…………

"Sister, sister!!!"

"Qin Lan!!!"

After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Huaizhu woke up from a nightmare.
