Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (43)

Bai Yi was surprised and said, [What is the purpose of practicing without any fun?]

Chu Xiang looked at her and smiled. [How do you know that he is not having fun? It’s the same as when I asked you why you are pretending to be an orphan to suffer in the Zhuang family. Don’t you also think it’s good to be with that scholar? Such a thing which only you know whether it is cold or warm is something that outsiders always don’t understand.]

Bai Yi watched the monk bullying the snake demon and suddenly wondered if Chu Xiang felt the same way whenever she saw her like that. She probably felt exasperated when she failed her expectations. Why should she be bullied even though her cultivation base was quite high?

They might all have some restraints on themselves for one reason or another but at this moment Bai Yi suddenly felt that she was in the same boat as the snake demon, his fellow sufferer. Thus, the more she looked at the monk, the more she found him an eyesore.

Bai Yi stepped out, slapped the monk on the back, and sent him flying. Chu Xiang quickly caught up and knocked the great monk unconscious before he could see who harmed him.

This time, they didn’t restrain their demonic aura. The snake demon glanced at them in surpris., “Aren’t you the ladies earlier…Are you fox demons?!”

Bai Yi glanced at him sideways and responded, “This monk will definitely not let you go. Why are you entangling with him? At the end of the day, you can’t stay in this bamboo forest. You might as well make a quick decision and leave.”

The snake demon looked at the unconscious monk and sighed, “I have been here for three years and I wanted to try to convince him to let me stay. However, he doesn’t seem to believe that I have no malicious intentions.”

The snake cupped his fists and said, “Thank you for your help, Seniors. This humble one’s name is Bai You. Where are you going, if you don’t mind me asking?”

As a demon, Chu Xiang really felt that Bai You had a super good temper, giving people a spring breeze aura. He didn’t resemble a snake demon at all but was more like a tree demon. She walked closer to Bai Yi and asked, “Where are we going? Would you like to come with us?”

Her question baffled Bai Yi, who asked, “Why should we travel together?”

Chu Xiang spread her hands and explained, “Because you don’t understand the rules of the world, but Bai You does. If we stay together, it would be wise for him to educate you.”

Bai Yi still didn’t understand. “Then…Why don’t you just educate me?”

How could Chu Xiang be willing to answer a hundred thousand whys? She blinked and retorted, “I don’t understand anything either. What I know is what Yufeng told me, not as much as what Bai You knows. Bai You, do you want to come with us? We are going to the capital to accompany Bai Yi’s benefactor, who is going to take part in the imperial exam.”

Bai You scrutinized Bai Yi at this time. When he heard that Zhuang Yulang was Bai Yi’s benefactor, he immediately connected his previous divinations together. It instantly dawned on him. “No wonder that young master’s fate changed so much. It turns out that his noble person is you, Senior. With your help, he will indeed be able to gain both fame and fortune.”

Demons’ intuition has always been spiritual. Although Bai You met them for the first time, he inexplicably felt that he should go with them. As soon as this idea came up, he didn’t delve into it carefully, but just bowed to his intuition. “Since you are inviting me, then this humble one better accept it deferentially than refuse courteously. This humble one will go with you to the capital.”

Chu Xiang patted Bai Yi and said with a smile, “How about letting him go with us as the Immortal Doctor? Zhuang Liu will definitely be respectful and dare not be presumptuous. This journey will surely be unpolluted.”

Bai Yi pictured that image and was amused. “All right, that sounds wonderful. I’m getting tired of listening to her rambling every day. Bai You, get a carriage then and come with us. Remember to spend more time with that woman. Don’t let her pester me.”

“Got it, Senior.” Bai You obliged. He agreed without even asking why.

Of course, a chance encounter was the best way to travel together, so Chu Xiang and Bai Yi went back first, pretending that they had just gone to the latrine. After that, they sent Li Yufeng a voice transmission to update him of what had happened.

They drove two carriages and met Bai You by chance at the intersection of the next town. Zhuang Liu was indeed the most excited one. Hearing that Bai You was going to the capital for business, she immediately asked him to travel with them, hoping to ask a couple of fortune-related questions on the way. In this way, another person was added to the team entering the capital.
