Chapter13 a high achiever who has fallen short. (below)
“……” The purple-haired woman, who felt inexplicably cheated, stumbled, “Who counts like that!”
Bai Yuechu completely ignored her, impatiently cleaning his ears with his pinky finger, then crouched down beside Tu Shan Susu: “Hey.”
The little fox demon looked up in confusion: “Brother Daoist, what just happened?”
Tu Shan Susu, who had been in a state of shock throughout, hadn’t noticed what had happened until she saw Bai Yuechu and came to her senses.
Bai Yuechu rested his arms on his knees, feeling helpless at the fox demon’s bewilderment: “Anyway, I protected you. So add five rainbow sticks to my reward.”
“Okay.” Although she hadn’t seen the events unfold, it was true that the sand foxes had stopped attacking, so Tu Shan Susu readily agreed to the request. She then tilted her head and touched her small coin purse, “But I’ve used up all my allowance for this month.”
Bai Yuechu didn’t see anything wrong with extracting a favor from the little fox demon. He coldly replied, “Then add it to next month.”
Tu Shan Susu, who had no intention of reneging on her word, nodded, “Alright.”
Meanwhile, the purple-haired woman, who had been left aside, started to ponder other things. Looking at Bai Yuechu, who showed such a stark contrast in behavior, she muttered to herself, “Who exactly is this guy?”
Such powerful demon energy was rare even among Tu Shan’s other Red Line Immortals. Perhaps…
After hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and said, “Hey, you two.”
Attracting the attention of both Bai Yuechu and Tu Shan Susu, the purple-haired woman pointed to Li Xueyang, who was asleep nearby: “This is the reincarnation of our princess consort.”
Bai Yuechu frowned, not understanding, “Reincarnation?”
But the purple-haired woman didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she lifted the dazed sand fox Van Yunfei, who looked even more miserable than a drowned stray dog. The sand fox prince, with his limbs hanging limply, was being dragged by the purple-haired woman. His face, covered in brown fur, had tiny fox eyes that looked comically out of place with his princely status.
Tu Shan Susu was struck by the contrast and couldn’t help but laugh.
The purple-haired woman, feeling insulted by the little fox demon’s laughter, angrily pointed at Tu Shan Susu: “Tu Shan fox demon! Pay attention!”
Tu Shan Susu quickly bowed in apology: “Sorry, sorry.”
But the purple-haired woman, who had been so arrogant a moment ago, instantly knelt on the ground and pleaded with Bai Yuechu: “Esteemed master with profound magical powers, please help us. If you take on the role of the reincarnated Red Immortal, you will surely reunite our prince and princess consort.”
Bai Yuechu paused and asked in confusion, “Reincarnated Red Immortal? What is that?”
“……” The purple-haired woman’s face turned as if struck by lightning, and she collapsed in frustration: “You don’t know anything and yet you’re meddling in this matter?!”
Bai Yuechu nodded as if it were obvious: “If you invite me to a meal, I’m willing to take care of any matter.”
“Meal?” The purple-haired woman was stunned, having not expected such a casual request.
“What, you can’t afford a meal?” Bai Yuechu waved his hand, “Then I won’t get involved. Find someone else!”
Tu Shan Susu, smiling, moved closer to the purple-haired woman and pulled her up: “Big sister, Brother Daoist only protected me because I gave him my snacks. He’s really a nice person. If you invite him to a meal, he’ll definitely be willing to help.”
“……” Should she say that this fox demon is foolish, or that this high achiever is ineffectual?
However, if offering a meal would resolve the matter, it did make things much easier.
