Chapter 276 Scheming and Sickly Demon Hunter VS Charming and Beautiful Little Fox Demon 30 (2/2)

This is all thanks to Lou Ji for "feeding" her every day, which gave her that rosy complexion.

She's a vixen; aside from matters of the heart, her favorite thing to do is this kind of thing.

Lou Ji is now completely unable to communicate with her. He is obsessed with the idea that Yuan Jiang will leave him sooner or later, and tries every means to keep her locked up here.

But it doesn't matter, she never intended to leave anyway.

It doesn't matter if Lou Ji is unwilling to be honest with her or to have a loving relationship with her, as long as he is willing to love her and satisfy her, that's enough.

A sinister glint flashed in Yuan Jiang's alluring fox eyes, and her smile grew wider, faintly containing a cold, enigmatic smirk.

"Click," came a rustling sound from outside the door.

Yuan Jiang's smile vanished instantly, and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Squeak squeak squeak..." The rustling sound grew closer and closer.

Yuan Jiang perked up. Could it be a rat?

Suddenly, a tired yet excited voice rang out in the dimly lit room: "Little fox, little fox, I'm back!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yuan Jiang was clearly stunned for a moment. By the time she reacted, the familiar ginseng demon had already appeared before her.

The ginseng demon held a pale pink, unremarkable flower in its hand, and looked up at her with a delighted expression, its eyes wide with longing: "Little fox, what are you daydreaming about?!"

"I'm back to find you, are you happy?"

The ginseng demon has returned.

Yuan Jiang blinked, her eyes filled with astonishment. Then, she reached out and grabbed the ginseng demon, shaking it and smiling with delight: "You rascal, I thought you went home. What happened to you? Where did you go? How come you've lost so much weight?"

The ginseng demon had clearly lost a lot of weight. The ginseng, which was originally as thick as an adult man's arm, was now a whole circle narrower, and there were many scratch marks on its body. The whole ginseng exuded a sense of fatigue.

Yuan Jiang carefully noticed that the ginseng demon had lost many branches, with traces of being cut off and bitten. Although scabs had formed, fresh blood was still seeping out.

The ginseng demon shook its head nonchalantly, looking smug: "My injury is nothing."

After a month and a half, it finally found the Scarlet Silk!

Once it found the Scarlet Silk, it rushed back without stopping. It encountered many demon hunters along the way, which is why it got injured. But that didn't matter. The important thing was that it not only found the Scarlet Silk, but also returned to the little fox demon's side!

Yuan Jiang smiled helplessly, raised her hand to channel spiritual energy into it, and soon the wounds on the ginseng demon healed automatically, and the severed ginseng tendrils grew back.

"Little fox demon, what's wrong with you?" The ginseng demon noticed that Yuan Jiang was not in good condition. Although her complexion looked much better, the dense marks on her body were undeniable. Coupled with the talisman she saw on the door when she returned, an ominous premonition welled up in her heart: "Does that demon hunter know that you are a demon?"

Yuan Jiang simply confessed: "He knew all along, he was just putting on an act with me."

"Huh?" The ginseng demon was taken aback and looked at Yuan Jiang with sympathy: "See? I told you all the men in the world are bad, especially demon hunters. They have no heart at all."

"Besides you, I also know a fox spirit. At first, she was just like you, swearing that the man loved her and didn't mind her demonic identity. And what happened?"

The ginseng demon sneered, "After that man found out she was a fox spirit, he immediately found a demon hunter to capture and kill her!"

"If you ask me, feelings are all ephemeral things. Let's hurry home and repair our chains, and strive to attain immortality as soon as possible!"

Yuan Jiang shrugged and poked the ginseng demon's cheek: "You go back first, I can't leave yet."

"Why?" The ginseng demon scratched its head and cheek: "Little fox demon, you're really stubborn. He's just a man!"

Yuan Jiang sighed. This wasn't just a man's business; her task was to deal with Lou Ji.

Seeing Yuan Jiang's stubbornness, the ginseng demon didn't bother to say anything more. It cautiously looked around and, after confirming that Lou Ji was not there, handed the flower in its hand to Yuan Jiang: "Here you go."

"What is this?" Yuan Jiang looked curiously at the flower in the ginseng demon's hand. The petals were as pale as the first rays of dawn, delicate and soft, and the stamens were pinkish-white, exuding a mysterious power.

The ginseng demon licked its lips and urged with a grin, "I went through a lot of trouble to find this flower. Eating it can strengthen your body and prolong your life. There are two in total. I've already eaten one. This one is for you."

"We're best friends, so let's eat!"

Yuan Jiang took the flower and glanced at it, but didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing the anxious and urging look in the ginseng demon's eyes, she chuckled and gently patted the ginseng demon's head: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, go ahead and eat."

Yuan Jiang nodded and put the flower petal into her mouth.
