Chapter 47
Confucius once said: "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."
The original meaning is: I find out the way to your house in the morning, and I will go there and kill you in the evening.
However, Gu Cheng's action this time was more efficient than Confucius.
He set out at noon, wiped out the fox den in one pot, and the sun had not yet set when he returned.
Stepping into his own courtyard.
Gu Cheng looked at this particularly quiet courtyard and frowned slightly.
In normal times, shouldn't Miss Xu have come out to greet him and ask for "feeding" from him, the owner?
Why is it so quiet today?
Gu Cheng was puzzled.
Seeing that the door of Xu Nianxue's room was open, he stepped forward and looked inside.
At this time, Miss Xu was lying lazily on the bed, with a listless look and a pale face, like a delicate flower that had lost its moisture.
Hearing the movement from the door.
Xu Nianxue looked up and saw Gu Cheng looking at her in surprise. A trace of shame and anger flashed across her pretty face.
But then she pretended to be calm and greeted softly:
"Hey, you're back? What are you eating tonight?"
"Don't worry about what to eat, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Cheng frowned even deeper when he heard the weak voice of the girl, and hurriedly walked from the door to the bed.
As the distance got closer.
Gu Cheng keenly discovered that although Xu Nianxue was listless, the style between her eyebrows was surprisingly charming.
A pair of amber eyes were watery, like a female cat in spring, exuding a charming breath, which made people's hearts ripple.
"It's okay, it's just that the internal injury has recurred. It will be fine after two days of rest."
Xu Nianxue lowered her eyes and explained softly.
But the sideways face and the erratic eyes all revealed that she was not sincere.
"..."
Gu Cheng would not believe the other party's lies.
He turned around and looked around in the wing room.
He soon noticed the exquisite food box on the table and the midnight snack that was mostly eaten.
Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He had been busy sending the fox demon brother and sister to reunite, and many trivial matters were unconsciously ignored by him.
After a careful review, combined with Miss Xu's "weird" look...
Swish——
Gu Cheng's mind was like a flash of thunder, and he understood something instantly.
What if... Mrs. Song was lustful and secretly added some "seasoning" to his midnight snack.
Then Miss Xu was innocently caught in the crossfire?
Isn't it because she looked so weak as if she was dehydrated...
"..."
Gu Cheng quickly glanced at the girl's white and delicate fingers, and then shifted his gaze in an instant.
Damn, I really hope that I can understand the secrets of martial arts in seconds next time...
Gu Cheng was embarrassed, but his face did not show any abnormality.
He was silent for a moment, and took out a few talismans from the storage bag as if nothing had happened and handed them to the girl.
"Miss Xu, do you know the origin of these talismans?"
"Talisman?"
Xu Nianxue also tacitly turned the page on this dark history and took it naturally.
After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but frown:
"This smell of fox... was it seized from the fox demon?"
Xu Nianxue raised her head and looked at Gu Cheng in surprise:
"It's been less than a day, and you have killed the companion of the flower thief?"
"..."
Gu Cheng didn't answer, but silently took out three fox demon cores and showed them to the other party.
Xu Nianxue looked closely, and the expression on her face suddenly became extremely wonderful.
During the time she spent with Gu Cheng, the girl's cognition has been constantly refreshed.
Sometimes she even has some doubts.
In addition to giving birth to children, what else can't this man do?
"Young Master Gu, you really should be a demon catcher."
"With your terrible efficiency, it is estimated that within three years, you will be able to wear the 'silver mask'."
After sighing softly.
Xu Nianxue continued to look at the talisman in her hand. After a careful observation, she frowned and asked:
"Are the three fox demons you killed completely white, without a single stray hair on their bodies?"
"Yes." Gu Cheng nodded slightly.
"Sure enough..."
Xu Nianxue stroked the talisman in her hand, and her pale face suddenly became gloomy.
"These three fox demons all come from a little-known fox demon family in Yunzhou.
Because their family members all have snow-white fur, they use the word [Bai] as their family name."
"The fox demon Bai family is also the most famous in the twelve counties of Yunzhou.It is a well-known demon clan force. "
"They are vindictive and extremely protective of their own shortcomings. You killed three young people from the Bai family this time. I am afraid that you have already made a mortal enemy with them..."
Xu Nianxue said seriously, but then suddenly changed the subject and smiled.
"But you don't have to worry. They can't protect themselves now and have no time to trouble you."
"Oh? Why is that?" Gu Cheng was puzzled.
"Because among the foxes of the Bai family, there is a "strange thief"!"
Xu Nianxue's eyes flashed with a strangeness, and she explained softly:
"She relied on her unique talent and magical powers to commit crimes everywhere in Yunzhou. I don't know how many precious skills and treasures she stole.
Even the Sutra Library of my Xu family could not escape her "claws"..."
"Later, the truth was revealed, and the fox demon Bai family naturally became the target of public criticism and was besieged by major forces.
If those foxes weren't so cunning, they would have been wiped out long ago!"
"So that's it..."
Gu Cheng nodded in understanding.
No wonder the fox demon's thunder spell is so similar to the "Wind and Thunder Sword Art".
It turns out that it was stolen from the Xu family!
"Has this white fox thief been caught?"
"Of course not!" The girl shook her head helplessly.
"If it was so easy to catch, she wouldn't have been so arrogant for so long...
By the way, I heard that she appeared in Tianshui County recently and stole something important from the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division in Tianshui City. "
"Tianshui County... Demon Suppression Division Headquarters..."
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Could it be that...
The Demon Suppression Division Headquarters suddenly went crazy and carried out a large-scale purge in Tianshui County before? Could it be because of this?
Gu Cheng, who had eaten a big melon, expressed satisfaction.
In short.
The fox demon Bai family is not a threat for the time being.
However, Gu Cheng still recorded this nest of foxes in his little notebook.
The white fox thief stole so many good things, the fox demon Bai family must be rich.
In the future, when my magical power is great, I will wipe out the fox demon Bai family.
I can get both life span and demon core, and I can also enrich my foundation.
Kill three birds with one stone, isn't it wonderful?
-----------------
As compensation for being accidentally cheated by myself.
Gu Cheng specially I cooked a large table of delicious food for Xu Nianxue, which gave her a lot of nutrition.
After finishing the chores at home.
Gu Cheng returned to his room, closed the door, lay on the bed, and opened the panel with concentration.
[Remaining lifespan: 1,597 years]
After a day of killing.
Gu Cheng's lifespan returned to four digits again, and reached a new high.
In the fierce battle with the pair of fox sisters.
Gu Cheng deeply experienced the arrogance of this body-refining cultivator.
No matter what fancy tricks you have, I will just work hard to create miracles.
Just rush in and it's done!
This simple and rough fighting method is very much in line with Gu Cheng's appetite.
It also makes him look forward to the results of the next krypton life training.
"I wonder how far I can break through the second volume of "Blood Sword Sutra" after absorbing these three fox demon cores? "
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment, took out the smallest demon core among the three, and swallowed it into his stomach.
With the indescribable taste, it instantly exploded in his mouth.
The remaining lifespan recorded on Gu Cheng's panel began to decrease rapidly again...
