68: A girl plunged into despair! The red fox and the green snake meet again!
After entering the boundaries of Black Wind Mountain, Tushan Yiyi did not travel at full speed.
After all, she was on someone else's territory and was coming to ask for help; she couldn't be too conspicuous, lest she be mistaken for an intruder.
It was at this moment.
On a mountain peak far away, a Monkey Demon hiding behind a boulder spotted the figure of the red-robed woman.
The Monkey Demon's spirit lifted, and he immediately turned and ran to deliver the message.
Before long, the message reached the Flower and Fruit Forest.
The Fat and Thin Guardians immediately stopped fooling around.
Fat Ball's strength had not fully recovered, so he was responsible for delivering the message to the Taihang Mountains, while Skinny Egg went to Black Wind Mountain to monitor the other party's every move.
The two Great Demons acted separately, their figures instantly vanishing.
When Skinny Egg arrived, he immediately spotted that splash of crimson in the distance.
Black Wind Mountain had no jungle vegetation; it was barren everywhere, making the Fox Demon Girl with red robes and red hair especially conspicuous.
She didn't conceal her Qi either, advancing openly.
Tushan Yiyi pondered inwardly as she continued forward.
Something was wrong.
She had already penetrated deep into Black Wind Mountain and originally thought she should have encountered that Snake Demon earlier.
But now, let alone the Snake Demon, she hadn't even seen a single shadow!
On the barren ground, only she was slowly moving forward.
She grew increasingly confused, even feeling helpless, as a hint of despair flashed in her emerald eyes.
Could it be that the Green Snake had already left?
For a moment, her thoughts became chaotic, and she continued forward somewhat absentmindedly.
After a long while.
A dense jungle appeared ahead.
Tushan Yiyi regained her senses, staring blankly at the forest before her, the despair in her eyes growing thicker.
The sudden change in environment indicated that the area ahead was no longer the boundary of Black Wind Mountain.
She had unknowingly crossed the entire Black Wind Mountain without finding anything.
She had spent a long time considering what to say when they met, but now it seemed rather ridiculous.
If she couldn't even meet the person, what good were the best excuses?
Just then.
A Monkey Demon poked its head out of the forest, its eyes full of vigilance, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Tushan Yiyi recovered her composure, looking at the ill-tempered Monkey Demon, but did not get angry.
Tushan already had enough enemies.
She waved her hand, "Sorry, I'm just passing through, I'll leave soon."
The Fox Demon Girl's expression was desolate; thinking that Tushan might not be able to overcome this calamity, she felt even more heartbreak.
Seeing that the girl had no hostility, Skinny Egg grew a little bolder.
"You're here to find our Great King, right?"
Hearing Skinny Egg's words, Tushan Yiyi didn't react immediately, finding it somewhat inexplicable.
Why would she look for his Great King?
I am looking for the master of Black Wind Mountain.
This little monkey in front of her was speaking strangely.
She shook her head without speaking, turning around reluctantly, preparing to search Black Wind Mountain one more time.
However.
Just at this moment.
Movement suddenly came from deep within the jungle, and a wisp of cold aura followed the sound.
Tushan Yiyi thought the Monkey King had appeared, so she turned around, ready to explain herself.
But when she saw the pair of golden vertical pupils in the jungle, her body instantly trembled, and a hint of pleasant surprise spread in the depths of her eyes.
"It's you!"
The Fox Demon Girl cried out in surprise, her cold face filled with joy.
Xu Qing and Fat Ball walked out of the forest, looking down at the girl.
He subconsciously activated his Spirit Eyes and sized up the other party.
Injured again?
Her Vitality was weak; this was a serious injury!
What exactly happened to Tushan?
Xu Qing was somewhat confused, but before he could ask, Fat Ball, being very perceptive, stepped forward.
The round Monkey Demon stood beside Xu Qing, chest puffed out, and shouted:
"Little Mistr..."
As soon as he spoke, he felt it was improper. The person before him might be the future Mistress, so he had to be careful with his words to avoid being punished later.
Thus, he softened his tone.
"Miss Fox Demon, you have trespassed into our Great King's territory without authorization. What is your intention?"
"You... your injuries are healed?"
Tushan Yiyi recognized Fat Ball. A few days ago, he was severely wounded, nearly killed by a human Cultivator; he shouldn't have recovered without at least a month of rest!
Yet now, he was standing perfectly fine before her, all his wounds gone, his Qi stable, looking completely unharmed!
What was going on?
Immediately after.
Tushan Yiyi noticed the direction from which the Green Snake and Fat Ball appeared.
It was the forest right in front of her!
This jungle was his territory?
Many doubts surfaced in Tushan Yiyi's mind, and her charming fox eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She suddenly couldn't figure out the situation.
"Naturally! Our Great King is omnipotent; what is a minor injury to him!"
Fat Ball cupped his hands toward Xu Qing, not forgetting to flatter him even now.
Skinny Egg watched, grinding his teeth, only regretting that he hadn't been the one injured, missing a great opportunity and letting that fatty get ahead again!
Tushan Yiyi was startled again, looking at Xu Qing incredulously.
He knows Healing Techniques?
Instantly, a glimmer of hope lit up in the girl's eyes.
She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, stepped forward, and performed a sincere bow, stating solemnly:
"Snake King, Tushan is in trouble. Tushan Yiyi earnestly requests your assistance!"
"If the Snake King agrees, Tushan will certainly offer a generous reward."
As she said this, a blush appeared on Tushan Yiyi's cold and beautiful face.
It was too embarrassing; the reward she had previously promised hadn't been delivered, and now she was coming to beg again.
Fat Ball's eyes lit up when he heard the girl's words.
The chance to perform a great service had come again!
If I help the Great King break through that paper window, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wouldn't the Great King reward me with ten or twenty peiyuan pills to try later?
He had heard Skinny Egg, who escorted the Medicinal Pills, boast about how wonderful the peiyuan pill was, making him drool with desire.
Therefore.
Fat Ball stepped forward, ready to speak immediately.
"If you want our Great King's help, unless you..."
His words were ultimately cut short.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a dull thud, Fat Ball saw stars and fell straight down.
Xu Qing retracted his tail, looked at the red-robed girl, and said calmly, "This is not the place to talk."
Saying this, he turned and slipped into the jungle.
"Follow us!"
Skinny Egg said this to the girl, then walked over to Fat Ball chuckling, grabbed one of his fat legs, and dragged the fat Monkey Demon along, following Xu Qing's figure.
The Fox Demon Girl dared not delay and quickly followed.
What Tushan Yiyi didn't know was that the sights and sounds she was about to witness would bring her immense shock.
Even years later, when the Fox Demon faced her child's questions and recalled this day, she couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
"On that day, Mommy truly broadened her horizons."
The beautiful woman in the red dress said so.
