“Huh?”
Fang Xin immediately pulled out his Panlong Spear, ready to act.
The fiery red fox instantly stood up, its paw, clutching a cigarette, pointed at Fang Xin.
“Hey, hey, hey? Outsider! Don’t be impulsive, alright?! Do you even know who I am before you make a move? I’m the Grand Marshal of the Nine Gates of Water Moon Grotto Heaven! You didn’t even bother to ask around before you tried to fight? If you just went inside and asked! My name! Go ask! Who in my family doesn’t know me?!”
As the fox spoke, it suddenly turned around and stuck out its rear.
A visible yellow farty gas shot out.
The smell assailed his nostrils, going straight to his head, both sour and foul, stinging his cerebral cortex.
“You damn outsider! Do you know who your grandpa is to dare to glare at him like that?” The fiery red fox flashed into the distance, and after running a few steps, it turned its head, took a bite of roasted chicken, and chuckled smugly.
Fang Xin instantly appeared a few meters away from the fiery red fox, which immediately bristled with fear, let out another stinky farty gas, and turned to run.
As it ran, it yelled, “Big Brother, I was wrong! Don’t chase me! Mountain Lord! Big Brother Mountain Lord, save me!”
Fang Xin threw the Panlong Spear, and the fiery red fox jumped up in fright; the Panlong Spear narrowly grazed the two small bells in its crotch.
The fiery red fox ran off, but Fang Xin’s speed was incredibly fast, instantly appearing a few meters away with each flash, making the fiery red fox yelp and beg for mercy, “Big Brother, I was wrong! Don’t chase me! My voice was too loud just now! I’m not some Grand Marshal of the Nine Gates, I’m just a shy, introverted, kind-hearted little fox, please just let me go like a farty gas!”
Fang Xin executed two consecutive flashes, and when he was two meters from the fiery red fox, he once again threw the Panlong Spear, intending to pin it down and ask about the situation here.
Unexpectedly, a strong gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.
A white tiger, ten feet tall, stood not far away; it was standing upright, wearing large shorts, an apron hanging across its chest, and one paw clutching a huge and heavy hammer, clearly resembling a blacksmith.
And its strength seemed to be around the tenth tier.
Seeing help arrive, the fiery red fox immediately executed a smooth drift turn, stood in front of the white tiger, elegantly took a drag from its cigarette, blew two smoke rings, and slowly took a bite of roasted chicken.
Pointing at Fang Xin, it arrogantly said, “Outsider! Come, come, come! Your grandpa is standing right here! Keep chasing! Come, come, come! Don’t be shy, keep chasing! Didn’t you want to hit your grandpa?! Come, come, come, come, come, come, keep hitting! Hit right here! If your grandpa moves even an inch, I’ll be your son! Come on!”
Fang Xin looked at the fiery red fox; 'fox exploiting tiger's might' was personified at this moment.
The tall white tiger stared at Fang Xin, its voice booming.
“Outsider, this is not a place you should be! Get out now! I will not pursue your crime of trespassing here!”
“Brother Mountain Lord, is it too easy on him to just let him go? Outsiders who intrude into the God and Demon Ruins are never good news!” The fiery red fox looked up at the white tiger with eager eyes.
The white tiger said coldly, “The Old Leader said that outsiders who stumble in here get one chance to leave!”
The fiery red fox took a bite of roasted chicken, then pointed the skewer at Fang Xin, “Oi! Our Brother is talking to you! Can’t you even make a sound or say thank you? Damn, you outsider are too impolite! I’m talking to you! Are you deaf, or did you leave your vocal cords at home?”
Fang Xin observed the fiery red fox; it was the first time he had seen a fox that could talk and smoke, and even more so, a fox that could talk, smoke, and also play abstract.
“I want to ask you two about something. Many years ago, a Witchcraft Master brought a Qilin here. Where did that Qilin end up?”
After he finished speaking.
The fiery red fox’s chewing paused, and it turned its head to glance at the white tiger beside it; one could visibly see sharp, cold light erupting from the white tiger’s eyes.
“Brother, this guy means trouble! This bastard is here for the Old Leader! I knew these outsiders were never good news!” The fiery red fox’s neck twisted, making a cracking sound.
“Brother, say no more! Just deal with him! This bastard is an outsider; under the rules, his combat power is at most Level Five. It’ll be easy for us to take him down. I’ll be responsible for the 'ga-ga' (onomatopoeia for easy victory), and you’ll be responsible for the 'slaughter'! We’ll beat him so bad his own mother won’t recognize him!”
The white tiger, whose name was Tiger Mountain Lord, swung its long tail, making a whooshing sound in the air like a stick whipping through it.
Its paws gripped the hammer tightly, and its two hind legs were already poised to spring forward and charge.
The fiery red fox jumped up and down, pointing at Fang Xin, “You damn outsider! You’re clearly no good! It’s a small matter that you bothered your grandpa! But you dare to be so brazen as to ask about the Old Leader of our Water Moon Grotto Heaven! Brother, later, you beat him half to death and hand him over to me. I want to personally finish him off. I’ll go in with a white knife and come out with a white knife by stabbing him in the head! I’ll go in with a white knife and come out with a green knife by stabbing him in the gallbladder! I’ll go in with a white knife and come out with a yellow knife by stabbing him in the poop sack!”
Fang Xin gripped his Panlong Spear; the oppressive aura from this white tiger was instantly at its maximum, completely unlike that talkative fox. This white tiger clearly belonged to the 'man of action, few words' type.
“Brother, get him!” the fiery red fox shouted.
The white tiger, named Tiger Mountain Lord, shot up from the ground and charged towards Fang Xin, intending to smash Fang Xin’s head with the hammer in its paw.
In the nick of time, Fang Xin directly opened his Blood Ring.
Inside the Blood Ring, Situ Shenshu sat cross-legged.
His handsome face coldly stared at Tiger Mountain Lord.
Tiger Mountain Lord’s tiger eyes flickered, and a hint of panic flashed in his gaze; he actually twisted his body forcefully to flash backward.
The fiery red fox, who was arrogant just a second ago, also instinctively bristled with fear when he saw Situ Shenshu, hiding behind Tiger Mountain Lord and stammering.
“Holy crap! Brother, he, he, he, he… isn’t he that terrifying being suppressed by the Buddha? He, he, he… how did he get out?”
Fang Xin raised an eyebrow; Situ Shenshu was practically an overpowered existence in this God and Demon Ruins.
Although Situ Shenshu’s current combat power couldn’t be fully utilized, he had many former subordinates in the God and Demon Ruins; with just a wave of his arm, those subordinates would come out to serve!
Tiger Mountain Lord had no choice but to be afraid.
Situ Shenshu stared at Tiger Mountain Lord, “What is Hu Xiaotian to you?”
Tiger Mountain Lord was silent for a moment, then said, “He is my grandfather!”
“This Monk even gave him guidance back then!”
Tiger Mountain Lord’s previous ferocity completely vanished; he was now as docile as a silver tabby cat.
“Grandfather often expressed gratitude for your guidance during his lifetime!” Tiger Mountain Lord said respectfully.
The fiery red fox, cowering behind Tiger Mountain Lord, immediately knelt on the ground after Situ Shenshu glanced at him, “Respected Lord Shenshu! Although my ancestors were not personally guided by you, your name is like thunder to this junior’s ears! You are the guiding light on this junior’s foxy path of life! This junior, Hu Jinbao, congratulates Lord Shenshu on your release! Jinbao worships you, worships you!”
Fang Xin couldn’t help but roll his eyes; this was truly an oddball.
The fiery red fox knelt on the ground, looking up, its paws clasped in front of its chest, with an expression of worship.
Seeing Situ Shenshu remain silent, the fiery red fox glanced at Fang Xin and explained again, “Lord Shenshu, the reason we stopped your attendant earlier and didn’t let him in was mainly because we didn’t know he was your attendant. If you had appeared earlier, we wouldn’t have been so ignorant!”
Situ Shenshu coldly looked at the fiery red fox, Hu Jinbao.
“He is This Monk’s Master; This Monk now serves him!
He is not This Monk’s attendant!
This Monk is his attendant!”
