Chapter17 terrifying existence. (above)
He had expected that once the little fox demon understood the situation, she would likely back off. However, the naive little fox demon, after hearing the explanation, showed no hesitation at all: “It’s okay, I trust you, Daoist brother.”
“……” Yue Ying Licheng’s expression became complicated in an instant. The little fox demon was indeed quite useless, but her determination to try despite knowing the dangers moved Yue Ying Licheng.
Faced with such an attitude, she couldn’t bring herself to utter another harsh word.
“Alright, let’s give it a try.”
Upon hearing Bai Yuechu’s concession, Tu Shan Susu jumped up in excitement.
“Thank you, Daoist brother!”
Bai Yuechu had initially thought that the process of infusing his power would be extremely difficult. Even if Tu Shan Susu truly trusted him, the different meridian systems between humans and demons would make it hard for the little fox demon to effectively use his power.
However, contrary to his expectations, as soon as his power entered Tu Shan Susu’s body, it flowed smoothly as if returning to its source.
Despite his doubts, now was not the time for a deep analysis. Bai Yuechu placed his hand on the little fox demon’s back and whispered, “Guide the power to your hands and then use the Dream-Chasing Hammer.”
“Okay!” Tu Shan Susu followed Bai Yuechu’s instructions, channeling the additional power into the Dream-Chasing Hammer. She raised the hammer and, imitating Bai Yuechu’s earlier actions, struck the heads of both parties involved in the reunion.
In the moment before, Li Xueyang, who had been shouting and cursing, suddenly froze. The Sand Fox Prince also widened his eyes, and the white warm light that spread out filled the entire space created by the Jade Stone.
Yue Ying Licheng covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, “It worked.”
However, she soon noticed something unusual. Not only were the Sand Fox Prince and the Princess Consort lost in a trance, but Tu Shan Susu and Bai Yuechu also became dazed, as if their souls had been drawn out.
Facing this situation, she tried to interrupt the spell, but thinking of His Highness’s nearly thousand-year wait and obsession, Yue Ying Licheng abandoned her intention to stop it.
At nearly the same time, Bai Yuechu and Tu Shan Susu experienced a disorienting sensation of being detached. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing on a barren mountaintop.
Tu Shan Susu lay limply on the ground, surveying the surroundings with confusion. When she saw Bai Yuechu, she sighed in relief, “Daoist brother, where are we?”
“……I don’t know.” Bai Yuechu clenched his fist, his face not looking good. He could no longer feel his power.
The unfamiliar weakness made him frown deeply. He pulled at the little fox demon’s waist belt impatiently and shook her a few times, “Explain this situation to me!”
Tu Shan Susu, dizzy from being shaken, replied, “I… I don’t know either. I just opened my eyes and ended up here.”
“……” Bai Yuechu, feeling disheartened, released his grip. “This is getting troublesome.”
Tu Shan Susu lay on the ground, panting heavily. When Daoist brother was angry, he was indeed very intimidating.
She looked up with a pitiful expression, about to apologize as usual, when she saw something unexpected. She pointed to a large rock in the distance, “Daoist brother, look over there! There are people!”
Bai Yuechu followed her gaze and saw an elderly man with gray hair and a young girl standing by the rock, seemingly discussing something.
Seeing people, Bai Yuechu grabbed her and walked over. He then asked the two people with their backs turned to them, “Hey, where is this place?”
His voice was loud, and the distance was not far, but the two didn’t even turn their heads as if they hadn’t heard.
“Hey!” Bai Yuechu stepped forward and angrily tried to pat one of them on the shoulder, “I’m talking to—”
He stopped mid-sentence as his hand passed right through the person’s body.
What was going on?
At this moment, Tu Shan Susu had already curiously moved to the front of the two people. When she clearly saw their faces, she exclaimed in surprise, “Secretary sister, big brother, you’re here too?”
Yue Ying Licheng and Fan Yunfei? Bai Yuechu also moved to the front and then realized that Fan Yunfei was still in his dog-like form, being held by a tall, unfamiliar old man by his tail. Yue Ying Licheng looked much younger than when they last met, almost like a teenage girl.
Even though Bai Yuechu and Tu Shan Susu approached the three of them openly, they did not seem to notice at all.
