Chapter 65: The Wolf Demon’s Bounty in the Demon Realm
“The aura on her can calm wolf blood, Father King, if…”
Hu Sui sighed lightly: “She has apprenticed under Xiao Yue. If I had used the Fire Jade Fan to confuse her mind and brought her to the Fox Tribe before she apprenticed, it might have been possible. But now that she has apprenticed under Xiao Yue, it’s difficult to take her blood. However, my son, rest assured, I will make her willingly condense her Wood Aura into a Wood Heart for you to use!”
Hu Sui said with determination, and the little wolf demon nodded, nestling in his arms.
Meanwhile, Tu You was originally sweeping through the Demon Market when he unexpectedly received a bounty list he couldn’t refuse.
He was completely stunned!
【A Chu, something big has happened! 】
Sang Chu was meditating on the Demon Mountain when she suddenly heard Tu You’s weak voice and asked with concern: 【What happened? 】
【The Time-Space Train sent a designated mission, a bounty list that cannot be refused, for a Wolf Demon. 】
【A Wolf Demon? The one from last night? 】
Tu You nodded, and Sang Chu fell silent. Strictly speaking, this was her first World, and there shouldn’t be any mandatory missions. Why would a bounty list suddenly be issued mandatorily? This was not logical!
Sang Chu: 【Did the train provide any explanation? 】
Tu You: 【This bounty has been posted for a long time. Many who came to the Demon Realm died here, even Level Three travelers. Therefore, the bounty amount has been increasing, which means he has many lives in his hands! 】
This is also the duty of time-space travelers. As long as there are criminals acting with impunity in a World, time-space travelers have the obligation to accept missions issued by the Time-Space Train and apprehend the criminals.
But these are usually things that Level 2 or higher travelers do; it shouldn’t be her turn!
Tu You understood Sang Chu’s thoughts and explained: 【The train envoy said that all travelers who entered the Demon Realm have died, and you are the only one still alive. Therefore, this bounty has fallen upon you. It is a mandatory mission and must be completed. If you cannot bring the Wolf Demon to the train, you will not be able to return! 】
Cannot return!
This was a major issue!
【Then, help me investigate the matter of the Wolf Demon first, and I will speed up my cultivation! 】
Tu You: 【Okay. 】
Sang Chu maximized the permissions of her Optical Computer, scanning all cultivation spots as much as possible, while also cultivating her Mental Energy Body in a Small World.
Her main body was outside, venturing into the Demon Mountain, not neglecting either.
After scanning one mountain, Sang Chu immediately moved to another.
As she walked into a cave that resembled an ink wash painting, she surprisingly found a blue ocean of starlight inside.
Grandmother Fish was lying in the sea, lazily stretching her tail.
“Grandmother Fish?”
Sang Chu called out softly and approached her. She saw Grandmother Fish slightly open her eyes and smile upon seeing Sang Chu: “So it’s you, little one. Did you get the Magic Tool from Hu Sui?”
“Yes, I got it. It’s a fan.”
As she spoke, she took out the fan. Old Fish took one look, and her expression became momentarily unnatural before returning to normal.
“Little one, you are not from the Demon Realm, are you?”
As she said this, her voice was faint, as if she hadn’t made a sound, yet it directly entered Sang Chu’s ears.
Seeing Sang Chu remain silent, Old Fish smiled: “I have seen outsiders like you before. They come to trade things, and some come to help apprehend demon criminals that the Demon Realm cannot deal with. However, it has been rare in the past hundred years.”
“You knew when you saw me?”
Old Fish nodded: “Are you here for the Wolf Demon?”
Sang Chu shook her head: “I just wanted to buy something and then leave.”
As she said this, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Sang Chu: “Do you know why the Wolf Demon is so rampant?”
“No.”
“Because his identity is special. The current Demon King’s strength is not top-tier, and he cannot suppress those Great Demons. Therefore, he can only settle for the next best thing and try his best to protect his kin. This is also why there are so many outsiders. The blood of Celestial Masters is a great tonic for demons. With a Celestial Master, he will no longer attack demons.”
Sang Chu looked at the elder who seemed to know everything and asked curiously: “So, you intentionally had me lodge at Xiao Yue’s Inn?”
“Yes, Xiao Yue is powerful. I thought your Wood Aura could lead him to Xiao Yue’s Inn and have him subdue the demon wolf. But I didn’t expect Xiao Yue to stand by and do nothing.”
Saying this, Old Fish sighed helplessly and continued: “Since the Wolf Demon has been causing trouble, I haven’t dared to let the younger generation step out of the Water Tribe for fear of falling victim. If you have a way, please help us.”
Sang Chu: “Grandmother Fish, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but my strength is too low. Even with the Magic Tool Hu Sui gave me, I cannot defeat an enemy that even the Demon King cannot defeat.”
Old Fish: “Little one, do you know why Hu Sui gave you the Fire Jade Fan?”
Sang Chu’s heart skipped a beat. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Old Fish, who said faintly: “He had his eye on you the moment you entered the Demon Market. Your dense Wood Spirit Aura is exactly what he needs. And the Fire Jade Fan has a characteristic: the Demon Spirit Fox Pill. This Fox Pill can confuse one’s mind, and over time, the user will become a puppet of the Fire Jade Fan. He will not let you go.”
Sang Chu looked at the Fire Jade Fan in her hand, feeling a bit nervous. Such a good Weapon, but it had a fatal flaw.
Although she wasn’t sure if it was true, Sang Chu prioritized safety: “Since Old Fish told me this, you must have a solution, right?”
“There is a solution, but my condition is that you take the Wolf Demon away.”
Sang Chu: “Okay, I promise. But you must also help me. I need to disguise myself to go out, and I need someone exactly like me here to attract his attention.”
Old Fish nodded. She formed hand seals, and the moisture in the air gradually gathered into the shape of a person, lying in the water with her.
Then, she threw a Pill to Sang Chu: “This is a Disguise Pearl. After eating it, you will become a demon of my Fish Tribe and can walk out openly without being discovered.”
When Sang Chu received the medicine, she hesitated. During her hesitation, she had her Optical Computer scan the Pill. Seeing that there were no harmful substances, she then took the Pill.
Then, her facial features and appearance began to change slowly.
Her legs turned into a blue fish tail, her black hair became large blue curls, her features gradually became delicate, and her skin became fair.
Old Fish: “Xiao Yu…”
Sang Chu was in a daze for a long time before realizing that Old Fish was calling her name. It seemed the demon she had transformed into was named Xiao Yu.
“Will I be exposed?”
Old Fish shook her head: “The Water Tribe gate is closed, and the juniors cannot come out. Rest assured, you can travel outside with the identity of Xiao Yu.”
