Chapter 86
Face-slapping the fox demon and the righteous monk (2)
Editor: chestnutwhale, Nadralexe
Zhou Xu’s Brother Bear just happened to be this world’s Demon King, and his relationship with the original Zhou Xu was not bad. The main problem was that without any reason, the Demon King would randomly go into seclusion. However, even if one were to call it seclusion, Zhou Xu knew that he was actually sleeping…
That’s right, Jiang Feng’s original body was a bear. Because he lived in a relatively remote place, he did not care about most of the demons’ matters. They were basically handed over to the Wolf King and Snake King to manage, and he himself was only responsible for sleep, sleep and sleep.
Actually, the original Zhou Xu had not been a villain at all, he was the Fox King. Xia Qing was born in the fox clan, so Zhou Xu had no choice but to kill Xia Qing. Because he stood against the protagonist, so he became the villain, which was ridiculous.
In the end, the original owner’s fate was miserable and sad. Speaking of which, when talking about personal kindness. Zhou Xu felt that Xia Qing was more evil. The male lead, Feng Yanyi was not much better, he said he liked Xia Qing, but if he hadn’t dual cultivated with Xia Qing which resulted in an abnormal cultivation speed, he would not have fallen in love with Xia Qing.
In other words, if Xia Qing was not so beautiful and useful, what were the odds of Feng Yanyi still falling in love with Xia Qing?
Jiang Feng, who had been woken up, was not in a good mood. With an annoyed expression on his face, he answered, “Capture who? Not interested.”
Zhou Xu, however, smiled faintly, his charm not losing to women at all. His long and narrow eyebrows seemed to give a flirtatious expression. His red dress gave the feeling of unbridleness and seduction.
“Brother Bear, you still owe me a favor, don’t you remember?”
Jiang Feng froze and recalled the matter from the past. He then said with impatience in his voice, “Okay, then I’ll go. If you still dare to threaten me with this again in the future, you’ll be on your own.
“Of course.”
What Zhou Xu talked about was obviously a matter between the original owner and Jiang Feng. Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng were friends, really good friends.
Zhou Xu kept calling Jiang Feng, Brother Bear. Actually, the time the two knew each other was also not short. Zhou Xu’s so-called favor was that Jiang Feng once fancied a fox demon and Zhou Xu had created some opportunities for them, although in the end, it was not conclusive.
Truthfully, this happened when they were young and did not know anything at all. The Zhou Xu at that time was still not the Fox King and Jiang Feng was also not the Demon King. Recalling about it later, Jiang Feng realized that the so-called like he felt was absolutely not like at all. It was because that fox demon was said to be the most beautiful woman of the demon world, and Jiang Feng only wanted to have the most beautiful person of the demon world.
It was precisely because Zhou Xu helped Jiang Feng that one time that it became a favor. Without rhyme or reason, the original owner would bring up this matter. Later, this matter also became a joke. However, the owner of this body had already changed and Zhou Xu would obviously make use of this favor.
Speaking of which, Zhou Xu’s own cultivation level was not considered high, and it was also for this reason that he decided to look for the original owner’s old friend to catch Xia Qing.
Truthfully, if it wasn’t for the male lead, then Zhou Xu catching Xia Qing by himself was no problem. The main point was after Xia Qing and Feng Yanyi fates matched, it could eliminate each other’s calamity, but also conceal each other’s aura. It was also for this reason that Feng Yanyi could still save Xia Qing in his last life under the pursuit of so many fox demons.
However the presence of Jiang Feng made it different. He was the Demon King, and every Demon King had a divine weapon, which was Zhuoming Pan.
Zhuoming Pan, as its name implies, was used to capture fate. As long as it was a demon, the Demon King could know their position whenever he wanted.
This time, Zhou Xu did not bring any fox demons with him. He directly walked off with Jiang Feng.
One Demon King, capturing a little fox demon whose cultivation didn’t exceed one hundred years, it was simply a piece of cake.
Without even asking Zhou Xu, Jiang Feng directly took out the Zhuoming Pan. After finding Xia Qing’s location, Jiang Feng then flew towards where she was at the moment, which was Nandian Mountain. and also the location where the male lead, Feng Yanyi was cultivating.
Zhou Xu immediately flew to follow.
After arriving at Nandian Mountain, Zhou Xu could feel that although the spiritual energy here was dense, it was very difficult to absorb it into the body. This place should have been contaminated by some kind of evil, so it became like this.
It was probably because of this reason that this place, obviously so rich in spiritual energy, didn’t have any humans from cultivation sects stationed here.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Feng followed the direction from the Zhuoming Pan and found Xia Qing. He continued to fly down, with lightning-like speed.
Zhou Xu sighed lightly, “Really deserving to be called Demon King.”
After talking, Zhou Xu also followed and flew down.
If one were to look up from below and saw these two figures, one red and one blue, landing down with fluttering clothes, they must have thought that immortals descended to the world.
Xia Qing glared at them, the sword in her hand was directed towards Jiang Feng and Zhou Xu, “Zhou Xu, I’m also a fox demon. If you refuse to protect me, how could you consider yourself the Fox King?”
Xia Qing did not know Jiang Feng at all, so she only talked to Zhou Xu, who was actually standing behind Jiang Feng.
After hearing Xia Qing’s words, Zhou Xu smiled faintly. He walked out of Jiang Feng’s back and said, “O, in that case, I’ll introduce you two officially. This is the renowned Demon King, his Highness Jiang Feng. Brother Bear, the person over there is called Xia Qing, you should be able to see her fate.”
Jiang Feng glanced at Zhou Xu in a very helpless way,” Can you not call me Brother Bear in the future?”
“I’ve been calling you that for hundreds of years, why won’t you let me so suddenly?”
“In the past, when you called me Brother Bear, I didn’t feel anything. Now I always feel a little…” Jiang Feng didn’t continue, because he always felt that this time meeting Zhou Xu, he had slightly changed. Even this nickname felt a little bit strange when called by Zhou Xu.
Truthfully, each time he met Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu would have changed a bit. Because each time he would go into seclusion for decades. This time, they did also not see each other for ten years.
Zhou Xu was from the fox clan and they had innate charms. However, this time, it seemed that it had become even more powerful.
“Forget it, do whatever you want.”
“Then Jiang Feng, move quickly. The target you need to kill is in front of your eyes.”
Jiang Feng froze. Jiang Feng felt even the “Move quickly” Zhou Xu said was a little bit erotic?
Jiang Feng felt he was overthinking, and thus hurriedly turned his head to look at Xia Qing who was still holding her sword.
Indeed, when Jiang Feng saw Xia Qing, he had already seen through her fate. The reincarnation of the Tiansha star absolutely couldn’t be left alive. So, he also understood why Zhou Xu suddenly called him out to let him kill this person.
“Demon… Demon King?” Xia Qing looked at Jiang Feng in surprise and did not say anything for a long time. She was already not the opponent of Zhou Xu alone, now there was even a Demon King.
With no way out, Xia Qing knew that she would certainly die if she confronted them directly. She knelt down with a thump, her sword also fell aside with a bang sound. With tears streaming, she pleaded, “I beg you to let me go. I also didn’t want to be the reincarnation of the Tiansha Star. From the moment I was born, my parents and relatives all died one after another. It was already not easy for me to live until now, I never did anything wrong to anyone else. Do you have to kill me just because I’m the Tiansha Star reincarnation?”
Zhou Xu turned his head to look at Jiang Feng and said with a faint smile that didn’t look like,”Jiang Feng, doesn’t she look like Chen Yaoyao? If you are soft-hearted, just tell me. We’re old friends, I also won’t make it difficult for you.”
Chen Yaoyao was precisely the fox demon from hundreds of years ago. If it was not for Zhou Xu bringing it up, Jiang Feng would not recall once knowing such a fox demon.
Staring at Zhou Xu, Jiang Feng said, “Don’t worry.”
After Jiang Feng finished talking, he casually glanced at the kneeling Xia Qing. And as soons as they came face to face, she already knew that he absolutely wanted to kill her.
The previous little hope to depend on begging to survive was also destroyed. Since it was the case, she could only either let the fish die or the net split. With only one roll, Xia Qing grabbed her long sword. At the same time, her appearance changed. The tail behind her cloth had also been exposed, sharp teeth came out, as if she wasn’t a fox, but a monster.
Jiang Feng, however, just calmly stepped back, made a hand seal, and finally directed his finger in the opposite direction towards Xia Qing.
A line of red light went straight between Xia Qing’s eyebrows. At first, the light was faint, but it gradually became more intense, as if it was sucking Xia Qing’s blood. It eventually became a gorgeous blood red.
At the same time, Xia Qin’s complexion became more and more ugly. When the red slowly disappeared, Xia Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. Her determination to mount a sneak attack on the Demon King was similar to a big joke. She hadn’t even made a move before being subdued by the Demon King.
Lying on the ground, the blood in Xia Qing’s mouth continued to flow out without stopping, her body in pain, her hands and feet also did not obey. She could only stare hatefully at Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng.
Zhou Xu looked at Jiang Feng and said, “Did you directly remove her demon bone?”
Jiang Feng nodded and answered, “To save trouble.”
Zhou Xu understood Jiang Feng’s meaning. In this way there was no need to fight, it was indeed a matter of saving trouble. This method was indeed in line with Jiang Feng’s style: lazy.
He then turned his head to look at Xia Qing on the ground. Zhou Xu lightly sighed. It was really not Xia Qing’s fault, but she was born carrying a sin, so her death was also not anybody’s fault.
Xia Qing eventually fainted. Zhou Xu waved his hand and buried her.
Jiang Feng coldly said to Zhou Xu, “Nosy.”
Zhou Xu answered with a faint smile, “Women ah, just like your old love, must have a grave.”
“If you dare to mention this matter again, I’ll kill you too!” Jiang Feng was also anxious, the matter with Chen Yaoyao happened hundreds years ago and Zhou Xu never got tired of talking about it.
“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t mention it again.”
“What about that person?” Jiang Feng looked in a certain direction.
Zhou Xu also looked in a certain direction and then said, “I thought he was a dragon, but he turned out to be a worm. His cultivation is not high, he’s not our match, and cannot become a great talent. Forget it, we better not have any karma with mortals.”
Zhou Xu said this because he originally thought that Feng Yanyi would come out to save Xia Qing. In the end, he just hid in the back and ultimately did not dare to come out.
Jiang Feng nodded, then the two of them flew away. Not far away, a man fully dressed in white carrying a sword in his hand came out from behind a boulder. It was no other than the male lead, Feng Yanyi.
Feng Yanyi naturally did not hear the conversation between Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng. He only saw the process of Jiang Feng removing Xia Qing’s demon bone. The woman on the ground just happened to have a complementary fate with him, this was simply a heaven-sent miracle for him.
This world’s first protagonist was Xia Qing, so the matter around Feng Yanyi had been downplayed. In fact, Feng Yanyi also had a fate which brought calamity. It was precisely because of this, that he couldn’t enter any immortal cultivation sect, and could only cultivate at this Nandian Mountain.
The spiritual energy in this Nandian Mountain was very rich, and seemed to have been invaded by evil spirits. So that was why Feng Yanyi, whose fate carried disaster, could cultivate here.
Quickly opening the grave Zhou Xu made, Feng Yanyi dug out Xia Qing’s entire body.
After digging her out, Feng Yanyi rapidly put a pill suffused with cold light into Xia Qing’s mouth.
That pill seemed to be alive, after entering Xia Qing’s mouth, it automatically flowed down, bringing the cold light immediately into Xia Qing’s stomach, which was also visible to the naked-eye.
Gradually, the cold light disappeared.
A quarter of an hour later Xia Qing’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, she slowly opened her eyes. After seeing the person in front of her, Xia Qing wanted to speak but could not say anything.
Feng Yanyi reached out his hand to indicate that she didn’t need to talk. He said, “It was I who saved you, miss. I gave you the extremely precious Huanyang Pill from the human world. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die.”

Editor Nadralexe Note :
So apparently Slow likes to talk about Genshin, so let’s talk about it a bit. I don’t know what you think about the new zone but I quite like it, even if I’m always running after some fire to warm up xD. But I was so happy finding new treasures, it has been so long since I saw any U.U . I didn’t have any “unfortunate” pull, but that’s because I didn’t get anything interesting so I don’t know if I should count myself as lucky. Anyway I’m quite excited about future events in the game.
