Chapter 421: Chapter 205: I Am Honest, No Punishment Needed (Asking for Monthly Tickets!)

Chen Shi watched as Zhuge Jian walked away and did not move for a long while.

Nannan was catching crickets with Black Pot in the grass. Whether she caught any crickets was unknown, but the young girl did catch a thick venomous snake, thicker than her arm. Holding the snake by its neck, she giggled and chased after the terrified Black Pot.

"She sure has a lot of strength," Chen Shi thought to himself, shifting his gaze away.

The venomous snake, adorned with diamond-shaped stripes and weighing about three to four kilograms, was nearly crushed to death in her grip.

"Red Lady Society, Lu Ban Sect, Mingfeng Pavilion, Joy Forest, Fuzheng Pavilion, Kong Kong Sect, Banshan Sect... Another one, Hundred Refinement Hall, should be added, they are all the young master’s properties."

Chen Shi contemplated; the old lady had mentioned the Hundred Refinement Hall, saying the young master had instructed the masters there to engrave talismans on silver needles to deal with Chen Shi. It seemed that the Hundred Refinement Hall was also one of the young master’s properties. But he was not sure whether it was in Yudou.

"Envoy, have you noticed that Nannan seems different from normal little girls?"

The voice of Stone Rock Lady echoed in Chen Shi’s mind.

Since Chen Shi had warned her, Stone Rock Lady had not taken over his body at will, but she still occasionally spoke in his head, her voice booming.

Chen Shi’s gaze fell on Nannan, who was squatting by the bonfire, which must have been built by Black Pot breaking and gathering firewood, ignited swiftly.

The large venomous snake that she had earlier was now skewered on a stick, which the young girl held over the fire, roasting. By now, it was sizzling with oil, the drops hissing as they hit the charcoal.

A meaty aroma wafted through the air.

"Isn’t that typical of children?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

He had been like that before, perhaps even more extreme.

Stone Rock Lady was silent, wondering if the envoy might also be a bit abnormal.

"Envoy, I suspect this Nannan is the Demon Seed of Yudou!"

Stone Rock Lady expressed her suspicion, "She can see the difference between yin and yang, can see spirits, and she gets along well with this dog from the underworld, Black Pot. He takes good care of her. This dog is certainly not normal..."

Chen Shi cut her off, "Black Pot is very normal!"

Stone Rock Lady was startled. If Nannan was normal, and Black Pot was normal, and the envoy was normal, then was she the only one who was abnormal?

But then, she was indeed not normal.

"I always suspect that she is the Demon Seed."

Stone Rock Lady watched Nannan closely in the small temple, muttering, "As soon as she reveals the form of the Demon Seed, I will pounce on her and eat her to restore my cultivation."

Chen Shi did not entirely doubt Nannan either. Black Pot, who feared neither heaven nor earth, even affecting Chen Shi at times, appeared to fear Nannan. More than fear, he seemed rather to curry favor with her, playing with her, lighting fires for her, and making barbecues.

It would be uncharacteristic of Black Pot to curry favor with her just because he took away a skewer of candied hawthorns from her.

However, Nannan was a lot like Chen Shi; she could also see the difference between yin and yang, could see spirits, and was mischievously troublesome, which made him feel close to her.

Therefore, Chen Shi was reluctant to believe she was the Demon Seed.

To believe Nannan was the Demon Seed was to believe Chen Shi himself was the Demon Seed.

Nannan shared the roasted snake meat, tearing off a piece and giving half to Black Pot.

Watching this tender moment, Chen Shi suddenly asked, "My Lady, if Nannan is the Demon Seed, what will happen?"

Although he had experienced two Demon Transformations, both incidents involved mature Demon Seeds directly undergoing transformation. He knew nothing about how an immature Demon Seed would transform.

Stone Rock Lady perked up, "She would attract many Evil Spirits to her vicinity. These Evil Spirits would act as her Suppliers, nourishing her with their Demon Qi. Other Evil Spirits possessing humans might come to seize her physical body, attempting to take the power of the Demon Seed. There are so many Evil Spirits in Yudou City; they could be attracted by her. Unfortunately, they are blocked outside by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, only able to wreak havoc outside the city."

She grew excited, "Whether she is the Demon Seed, we can see tonight. Many Evil Spirits will come, it will be lively!" ƒrēeNovelFire.com

Chen Shi’s heart stirred, looking at Nannan.

The young girl had already eaten half of the snake and was still not satisfied. She knelt in front of Black Pot, prying open his jaws as if trying to dig out some meat from between his teeth.

Indeed, she found a strand of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

Black Pot looked at her with a sense of grievance, offering no resistance.

"Yudou has accumulated many Evil Spirits; if she is the Demon Seed, tonight will be a grand affair."

Stone Rock Lady continued, "If she survives, the Demon Seed will undergo evolution, entering a state similar to enclosing itself in a cocoon, and she will fall into a deep sleep. Centered around her, a peculiar area will slowly form, presenting all kinds of strange phenomena. If the Demon Seed is hidden in a well, sweet water will gush from the well, golden lotuses will grow, and the fragrance emitted when smelled will cure illnesses and make one feel as if they are floating in the air. If hidden underground, dawn-like lights will appear, with visions of green trees and red fruits, or Bodhi seeds among other phenomena."

Chen Shi hesitated a moment, then said, "Regardless, we will know tonight."

Stone Rock Lady was very excited, "If it is confirmed that she is the Demon Seed, Envoy, I must eat her!"

Chen Shi neither agreed nor disagreed, but Stone Rock Lady was not discussing it with him; she was merely informing him of the outcome.

That evening, the Fox Clan warmly entertained them, and the banquet was lavish, featuring dishes like chicken stewed with mushrooms, spicy chicken, home-style stir-fried chicken, mouthwatering chicken, beggar’s chicken, spicy stir-fried chicken organs, sour cabbage fried with chicken hearts, chicken blood stewed with tofu, brimming with variety.

The Fox Clan, having a fondness for chicken, showed off their culinary skills, generously serving a full chicken banquet to their guests, showing sincere hospitality.

After the banquet, a full moon hung in the sky, bathing the surroundings in bright moonlight; the fox spirits sang and danced. Chen Shi and Hu Feifei sat together watching the fox spirits’ performance, a musical drama about a scholar encountering a fox spirit on his way to the capital for exams.
