This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 163: The Little Fox Yue Bai

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The Little Fox Yue Bai

"Damn it!!!"

Zhao Feng felt the mocking glances from everyone around him, infuriated to the point of nearly exploding!

How dare they use just a hundred spiritual coins to humiliate him, and even time it precisely to shame him, which shameless bastard doesn’t follow the rules!?

Zhao Feng did not remember that he was the one who first broke the rules.

On the other side, Liang Yi had already brought Su Youyi to a secluded tavern to meet with Song Mengjue, who was waiting for them.

"Boss Song, as per our agreement, I’m here to pick up someone."

Thanks to the players’ high praise for Song Mengjue in his previous life, Liang Yi had a quite favorable impression of him—he wouldn’t compromise his morals for profit, at the very least.

Although they wore fox masks, both Liang Yi and Su Youyi could clearly feel this person sizing them up, which made them frown.

Isn’t it a bit impolite to scrutinize people upon meeting?

"Please forgive me, young friends. This is the rule of the Immortal Dynasty. People pick their servants, and I pick people. Since I have taken these children in, I must be responsible for their basic life assurance."

Song Mengjue apologized for his behavior, but Liang Yi and Su Youyi could also hear the firmness in his words.

"No worries, I have heard of the renown of the Immortal Dynasty, and I agree with your philosophy, Boss Song."

"Yeah, we just couldn’t stand that flower-picking thief so we intervened," Su Youyi added next to her senior brother.

The senior brother rarely cared about others, and if one were to describe him, he’s mostly indifferent with just a pinch of limited kindness. If it hadn’t been for her begging, her senior brother really wouldn’t have helped.

"We are very grateful for your help this time," Song Mengjue thanked them and then pointed to a short figure beside him, clothed in a loose black robe.

"This is Number One, would you like to inspect?"

The place where the few of them were was a private room in the tavern, and the room had an array cast to block any outside investigations.

Number One trembled as she walked two steps forward in front of Liang Yi, turned her back to Song Mengjue, and let her black robe slip off.

"Ah!"

Seeing what was under the robe, Su Youyi directly panicked, tiptoed, and covered her senior brother’s eyes from the front.

"····"

Liang Yi was caught off guard and blindfolded, but before that happened, he caught a glimpse—it seemed to be a half-demon fox? But for his junior sister’s sake, he decided to act as if he had seen nothing.

As for extending his Divine Sense? He feared he’d "explore" but not live to "see."

Underneath the fox mask, Song Mengjue looked at the two with a seemingly amused smile.

"Boss Song, please, dress the child," Su Youyi managed to say, turning her head with difficulty.

Meanwhile, the young demoness blushed so much she nearly buried her head into her chest, her fox ears and tail behind her trembling continuously; she had never been so "honest" with anyone before.

"Alright, this is actually to allow the client to better inspect the body, to prevent accusations of the Immortal Dynasty selling defective or sick servants," Song Mengjue spread his hands, offering a helpless explanation.

The female guest’s gaze was just too strange; he really didn’t want her to mistake their Immortal Dynasty for some bizarre establishment.

He casually tossed a set of clean and neat clothes to the young demoness, asking her to change into them on her own. Su Youyi then cast a Daoist Skill below the girl’s neck, shrouding her in a smoky haze to ensure her senior brother couldn’t see anything before finally letting go of her hands.

"Senior brother, you... didn’t see anything just now, right?"

Su Youyi smiled sweetly, her voice extremely gentle yet filled with utmost menace, and Liang Yi, who had just regained his sight, felt chicken skin bumps all over his body and a chill down his spine the next second.

"Haha, of course... of course, I didn’t see anything!"

Liang Yi quickly clarified, as he certainly didn’t want to be under three feet of grass next year.

At this moment, the little fox spirit girl had already dressed herself, standing in front of them with a flushed face. This was the first time Liang Yi actually took a good look at her.

The most striking features were the pair of fiery red fox ears on her head and the swaying tail behind her; the fox characteristics were quite distinct.

Upon closer observation, the little girl appeared to be only about seven or eight years old. Even though she was just wearing a simple linen dress, she still looked irresistibly charming. Her gaze was timid, not daring to look directly at the two, and her hands were clutched together, looking extremely nervous.

"Yue Bai is someone I unexpectedly found, and I was the one who named her. The whereabouts of her parents are unknown, and she herself has no recollection. If you’re not satisfied with the name, you can pick a new one."

Song Mengjue pointed at the fox spirit girl with the folding fan in his hand and briefly informed them of her situation.

"No need to change it, the name is quite nice."

Su Youyi patted the little fox spirit’s head, pulling her into an embrace to signal her to relax a bit.

Yue Bai looked up blankly at the smiling Su Youyi. Her once panicked and helpless heart instantly felt much relieved. Her hands unconsciously wrapped around the waist of the girl in front of her, feeling a warmth she had never experienced before, bringing tranquility to her heart.

Liang Yi smacked his lips from the side, feeling a bit jealous.

Ignoring the two girls cultivating their bond, Liang Yi, after ensuring there was no problem, used the Purple Crystal to settle the debt and pay up.

"Ah, my wallet is empty again..."

Looking at the half crystal left in his backpack, Liang Yi somewhat regretted not fleecing more from the Immortal Dynasty.

Big spender, it’s a waste not to fleece you!

"Since that’s the case, then Yue Bai, little Miss, is now yours. Please accept this contract."

Song Mengjue took out a contract of fine quality from his ring and handed it over to Liang Yi.

"Ding! Item obtained [Servant Contract]"

"It seems I don’t have a follower feature," Liang Yi mused to himself while holding the contract. If he were a player, he would automatically unlock the follower feature upon obtaining a servant contract.

"Well then, rivers and mountains meet; I wish us the fortune to meet again!"

After completing the trade, Song Mengjue gracefully bowed and took one last look at Yue Bai before disappearing in a puff of green smoke from Liang Yi and the others’ view.

"This Song Mengjue must be at least Level 69," Liang Yi thought.

He hadn’t failed to investigate this guy; it’s just that nothing turned up.

However, the ease with which he left without Liang Yi noticing anything unusual suggested that he must be a high-level creature approaching Level 70.

Yue Bai, nestling in Su Youyi’s arms, looked wistfully towards where Song Mengjue disappeared, harboring complex feelings towards the boss who had adopted them.

Abandoned and helpless, taken in by the boss when forsaken by the world.

Provided with food and shelter, yet in return, they had to contribute labor and eventually be sold.

Any attempt to get close to the boss would be ruthlessly rejected.

The boss didn’t discriminate against them, nor favored any; he simply saw them as merchandise. Therefore, their gratitude towards the boss was there, but minimal. What they felt more was respect towards a master so above everyone else.

All the servants nervously awaited their fate’s decree, hoping to encounter a decent master.

Now it seemed, she was the lucky one.
