Chapter 244: The Fox Saint's Love
Chapter 244: The Fox Saint's Love
Chen Yu followed Lin Qingxue and the others along a rugged mountain road. After walking for about half an hour, they finally walked out of the valley.
As soon as he came out of the valley, Chen Yu felt that the view in front of him suddenly opened up. He had been walking in the valley for half a day before, surrounded by towering cliffs and dense forests, which made him feel very depressed. Now he finally saw an open area in front of him, and his mood became much better.
"There's a stream not far ahead. Let's go there to rest and have something to eat."
Lin Qingxue suggested.
"Okay, I've been walking for a long time and I'm already hungry." Liu Ruyan said with a smile. After that, she deliberately touched her flat belly and threw a coquettish glance at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu pretended not to see it and turned his head away, thinking to himself: "This enchantress is trying to seduce me again, I can't be fooled."
The White Bone Demon was as silent as ever, just following Lin Qingxue silently, glancing at Chen Yu from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Yu followed them to the stream and found a clean place to sit down.
Lin Qingxue took out a clean cloth from the storage bag and spread it on the ground, then took out some food and water and placed them on top.
"Chen Yu, come over and have something to eat." Lin Qingxue greeted Chen Yu.
Chen Yu didn't hesitate and walked over to pick up a piece of osmanthus cake. While eating, he asked, "Miss Lin, what do you usually eat when you are training outside?"
"We usually eat some fasting pills and spiritual fruits, and only occasionally do we eat some ordinary food."
Lin Qingxue explained, "We bought these foods from the foot of the mountain, and they taste pretty good."
"Well, it's really good." Chen Yu nodded. Although these foods are not as colorful as those in modern society, they still taste quite good and contain a faint spiritual energy, which is good for the body.
They ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After eating and drinking, Lin Qingxue suggested: "It's getting late, let's hurry up and get on the road."
"Wait," Liu Ruyan suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have left a magic weapon at the hot spring. I'll go back and look for it."
"What kind of magic weapon is so important that I need to go back all this way?"
Lin Qingxue asked.
"Oh, don't worry about it. It's very important anyway." Liu Ruyan said, then turned and walked towards the hot spring.
"Let me go with you." Chen Yu also stood up and said.
"Okay." Liu Ruyan agreed with a smile, then took Chen Yu's arm and the two walked towards the hot spring together.
Lin Qingxue looked at the backs of the two people leaving, frowned slightly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
"Sister Qingxue, what's wrong with you?" Bai Gu Jing noticed Lin Qingxue's expression and asked.
"Nothing," Lin Qingxue shook her head, "Let's go too."
Chen Yu and Liu Ruyan returned to the hot spring and found that there was no one in the hot spring. Only wisps of mist were rising, which was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
"Strange, where are the people?" Liu Ruyan said to herself. She clearly remembered that after she, Lin Qingxue and Bai Gujing finished soaking in the hot spring, they left directly and did not see other people.
"Could it be that they have already left?" Chen Yu guessed.
"Impossible," Liu Ruyan shook her head. "I clearly remember them still getting dressed when I left. How could they leave so quickly?"
"Could it be that they are hiding?" Chen Yu guessed again.
"Hide?" Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, her pretty face flushed, and she spat, "What nonsense are you talking about?
What are they hiding for?"
"Uh..." Chen Yu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
"Okay, stop guessing and let's go find them and see where they went."
As Liu Ruyan spoke, she began to search around the hot spring.
Chen Yu also joined in the search, but he was a little skeptical. Would Lin Qingxue and Bai Gu Jing really hide?
They searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Lin Qingxue and Bai Gu Jing, so they had to give up in the end.
"Forget it, don't look for them anymore. They may have already left." Chen Yu said.
"Okay." Although Liu Ruyan was a little unwilling, she had no choice but to give up.
"What should we do now?" Chen Yu asked.
"What else can we do? Of course we keep on going," Liu Ruyan said.
"Okay." Chen Yu nodded.
At this moment, suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew over, and Chen Yu felt his eyes blurred. A woman in white gauze clothes and with a beautiful face appeared in front of him.
The woman had skin whiter than snow and an extraordinary temperament. Her long black hair cascaded down behind her like a waterfall, and her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, making people want to be intoxicated by them.
Chen Yu was stunned. This woman was so beautiful that she was even more beautiful than Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan. She looked like she had walked out of a painting.
"You are..." Chen Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The woman smiled slightly, her voice clear and sweet, like a silver bell: "My name is Hu Meir, and I am the owner of this forest."
"The master of the forest?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this woman should be the demon king of this forest. And judging from her appearance, she should not be an ordinary monster, but most likely the legendary fox demon.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although it was not the first time he had seen a monster, it was the first time he had seen a fox demon as beautiful as Hu Meir. He also heard many legends about fox demons seducing men, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Don't be nervous. I have no ill will towards you." Hu Meir seemed to see Chen Yu's nervousness and said with a smile, "I came here today to ask you for a favor."
"Help?" Chen Yu was even more confused. How could a mortal like him help the fox demon?
"It's like this," Hu Meir explained, "I've been practicing a secret technique lately that requires a magical herb called 'Nine Sun Grass.' However, this magical herb is extremely rare, and I've been searching for it for a long time without success. I heard you have a lot of treasures, so I'd like to ask for your help in finding it."
"Nine Yang Grass?" Chen Yu thought about it. He seemed to have seen this kind of elixir in the system mall. So he opened the system mall and searched for it. Sure enough, he found the Nine Yang Grass.
Nine Yang Grass: A magical grass that grows in extremely yang places. It can be used to refine pills that enhance yang energy. Price: 1000 points.
"Do you have a way to find the Nine Yang Grass?" Hu Meir saw that Chen Yu didn't speak for a long time, and thought that he had no way, and felt a little disappointed.
"Yes, but..." Chen Yu deliberately dragged out his voice, wanting to see how Hu Meir would react.
"But what?" Hu Meir took the bait and asked quickly.
"But why should I help you?" Chen Yu asked with a smile, "I don't know you, and you're a monster, so why should I help you find the elixir?"
"You..." Hu Meir was choked by Chen Yu's words. No one had ever dared to talk to her like this in her life. She didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"Unless..." Chen Yu paused deliberately, then leaned close to Hu Meir's ear and whispered, "Unless you agree to one condition of mine."
"What conditions?" Hu Meir asked subconsciously.
"Be my girlfriend." Chen Yu looked at Hu Meir and said word by word.
