The Fox Comes from Outer World - C393
The fox’s way of thinking was very simple. If he couldn’t figure it out, then he shouldn’t think about it. Even though I am a deity now, what is that ancient saying in the human world? It was easy to change, but hard to change one’s nature. Rather than take the time to think about those unfathomable questions, it’s better to consider the situation at hand.
Now that I have received help from Qing Ling and recovered my memories from my previous life, my mood is very different from before. Previously, I went through countless hardships to go to the Demon World in order to steal the antidote from the Demon King to save my master, and at the same time, I also had to steal the soul recovery water to help me recover my soul.
I sat down cross-legged and recalled my past life carefully. In the end, I still had to go to the Demon World to steal the antidote and the Soul-Returning Water!
Sigh, this is truly sad. In my previous life and this life, it turns out that I am the one who has to do all these bitter things.
However, just like Qing Ling, I am now trapped in the Bewitching Formation. First, we have to think of a way to leave this place as soon as possible.
“Qing Ling, the barrier of this Bewitching Array was created when you were possessed by Wu Xie, using the Evergreen Sect’s magic and the Devil King’s magic, right? “So, if we want to leave now, do we still need to borrow that mana?” I asked.
Qing Ling nodded. “It’s a pity that I’ve already lost my Demon Lord’s technique. Therefore, I was unable to smoothly break through the barrier.”
“Then, if you and Wu Xie join hands, can you open the barrier?” I asked again.
Qing Ling replied, “In theory, it should be possible.”
Since he could, of course he had to do it immediately. I told Qing Ling that I would take care of this matter.
Qing Ling was skeptical of my words, but I told him to go back to the wooden house and make lunch. I went to the forest and looked around to figure out what to do.
Tsui Ling was led into the house by me, and when smoke rose from the chimney on the roof, I immediately ran out of the range of the cabin.
I ran all the way out along the forest of peach blossoms, stopping only when I was sure that Tsui Ling was not following me.
Then, I focused my mind and whispered, “Wuxie? Wuxie! ”
Wuxie is inside me now, and I want to call him out.
Sure enough, after a while, an innocent voice sounded in my ear, “Why did you call me? It’s still early! ”
His voice was lazy, and he seemed to be yawning. Surprised, I asked him, “You’ve placed your soul in my body. Don’t tell me you’re still sleeping at this time of the day?”
Wu Xie snappily replied: “You still have the nerve to say that! It’s a very tiring thing to impart your soul. You did it yourself yesterday, so you should be able to understand it, right? ”
Yesterday, I had placed my soul in Qing Ling’s body. So I nodded.
Wu Xie continued: “Since you know how hard it is, you should understand my situation. At that time, my soul was in your body, and you went to that Taoist’s! Such a dual soul transmission brought me a huge pressure. If it wasn’t for the fact that my mana was decent, my soul would have been damaged by the pressure! Later, in order to get through that long, double soul-searching time, I forced myself to sleep to relieve the stress. ”
I nodded to myself as I listened. Luckily, he fell asleep while my soul was still trapped in his body. Otherwise, last night’s Spring Festival Gala would have …
As I thought about it, my face reddened. I coughed and changed the topic. “Since you placed your soul in my body, then did you hear the conversation between me and Qing Ling?”
Wuxie lazily replied, “Listen to most of it.”
I asked, “Then don’t you have any thoughts about it?”
Wuxie asked, “What do you want?”
I said, “Let’s cooperate!” The two of you have been fighting in the White World for hundreds of years. Now that Qing Ling has recovered her memories, you should also be clear about the reason. This barrier can only be opened if the two of you combine your Fa Li! ”
Wuxie was silent for a while, as if he was considering the feasibility of the plan. Finally, he asked, “If I’m willing to cooperate, can you promise that guy’s cooperation will be good?”
I immediately patted my chest and guaranteed, “I can definitely get him to cooperate with you!”
Wuxie snorted: “If he was willing to cooperate, I’m afraid we would have left this place hundreds of years ago! Wasn’t he afraid that I would be lured out to attack the human world, so he wanted to trap me here? In order to achieve this goal, he was even willing to sacrifice his own life! Hmph, little fox, don’t be so naive. Do you think with just a few words from you, he will obediently cooperate? Stop dreaming! ”
Wuxie was right, if I directly offered to cooperate with Qing Ling, I would definitely be rejected. However, I have my own plans.
I said to Wu Xie, “If the two of you meet, there will definitely be a conflict between you. However, I have an idea, how about you lend me your mana? I’ll work with Qing Ling in your place, he definitely won’t reject me. You can relax now, right? ”
Wu Xie let out a cold laugh, as though he was mocking me for overestimating my capabilities. However, I have a lot of confidence in his attitude. Because he’s been hiding inside me, and although he said he’d been asleep, I think he must have heard what he wanted to hear. Since that’s the case, he was now very clear that if he wanted to leave this place, he must cooperate with Qing Ling. Furthermore, if he wanted to cooperate with Qing Ling, he must borrow my hand.
There were two reasons why the two of them hadn’t been able to work together. The first reason was because they were afraid of each other; the second reason was because Qing Ling had forgotten for a long time that he had set up this formation, so he had never considered cooperating with the Infernal King. At this time, the time for this cooperation had come.
Wuxie thought for a while and finally told me, “If you can really convince that old-fashioned Taoist, I don’t mind lending you my spell.”
I was delighted, made an immediate promise to him, and ran back to the cabin.
Of course I also know, letting Wu Xie out might bring disaster to the world, but being stuck here is also not an option. To save my master, and also for my own soul, I have to leave this place.
When I returned to the wooden house, Qing Ling was cooking with a fire. To my surprise, there was already a roast chicken and two jugs of wine on the table. The fragrance of the roasted chicken was so appetizing that it took a lot of effort for me to suppress the urge to pounce on it.
I told Qing Ling about my thoughts of working with Wuxie. As expected, Qing Ling was worried about this.
He said, “Although I really want to bring you along to leave, if General Xie does not return to the Six Realms, I’m afraid that he will once again summon demons to attack the Heaven Realm and bring disaster to the world. Isn’t it too risky to do so? ”
I immediately told him, “I’m afraid that your worries are too late, because the demon realm is already recruiting anew. Moreover, before I came here, my master, the Demon King, had already injured him. He is still waiting for me to find the antidote.”
Yes, when I was in the Heaven Realm, I heard that the new Demon King had returned. Not only did he revive the demon army, he even poisoned my master, Xuan Yue. Wuxie might not be the king of the demon realm, but the real devil lord was someone else.
“Since you and Wu Xie have been trapped inside the array, then, the Demon World should have a new Demon King.” I told him everything I knew and said to Qing Ling, “Therefore, it is no longer that important to trap Wuxie.”
