Fox Demon Cultivation Manual [ BL ]

Chapter 27

The hairpin tumbled at Song Ci’s feet. He looked down.

It had been a long time, but even if Qingyuan did not remember that this was the hairpin Fu Chi has been wearing on his head, shouldn’t she remember the item she had personally selected and gifted?

Song Ci was about to ask when he saw Dai Yanxing crouching down to pick the hairpin up. Blood gushed out of the savage-looking wound on the back of his hand and stained half of his sleeve red.

He kept the hairpin and held out the lantern with the other hand. “Shidi has been in this lantern all this time.”

Qingyuan flew into a rage on seeing it. “Do you see me as an idiot for you to fool? How is it possible for Li Chi to be in this broken lantern?!”

It seemed as if Qingyuan did not know that there was a Devil Seal fragment in this lantern.

Song Ci grasped Dai Yanxing’s wrist. “Hold on. I think you need to reconsider.”

Dai Yanxing cast a puzzled look at him.

Song Ci quickly gave him a reasonable explanation. “She is angry now. You can’t guarantee that she won’t tear the lantern up if you hand her the lantern without careful consideration. It will do more harm than good if she hurt Fu Chi.”

What a joke! The Devil Seal fragment was still in the lantern! Who knew what that crazy hag would do if Dai Yanxing gave her the lantern. Even if he wanted to hand it over, at least remove the fragment first.

Song Ci said in all seriousness, “Perhaps we can ask Fu Chi’s opinions first.”

“There’s no need to ask him. Shidi would definitely be willing. He loves shishu so much.” Dai Yanxing forced a smile and glanced at the lantern. “It was I who prevented the two from seeing each other for so many years. Shidi would be thrilled to be reunited after such a long absence.”

He was about to brush off Song Ci’s hands when Song Ci tightened his grip. It was when he brushed him off that Song Ci said stubbornly, “I don’t think so.”

“When I saw Fu Chi earlier, all of his questions were about you. Not once had he mention your shishu. It’s obvious your shishu isn’t that important to him.” Song Ci said, “Mo Yao is having a crisis at present. I think we should put the love affairs aside first and deal with these demons before we talk about anything else.”

Qingyuan heard every one of his words clearly. Her face contorted with fury.

Dai Yanxing frowned. “This whole mess was caused by love. Naturally, we should resolve this in kind. What shishu wants is Fu Chi. If I hand him to her, we can end this farce.”

“Hey!” Pissed, Song Ci yelled. “Look at the demons beyond the barrier. Is that something you can forget about simply because Qingyuan said so? There are few disciples in Mo Yao left who are up to combat. If even you look as if you’re putting yourself at the mercy of others, then who will defend Mo Yao?!”

“I owe them ​this much.” Dai ​Yanxing said​. ​He felt that this man was meddling too much,​ and so​ he raised his hand to push him​ away​.

Song ​Ci nimbly dodged him and grabbed the lantern​​. ​“I’m not interested in who you owe. ​In any case, you can’t give her ​this lantern!​”​

When Dai Yanxing saw that Song Ci had snatched​ the lantern from ​him in a moment of negligence, he ​hurried to give chase. “Return ​​the lantern to me!”

Song ​Ci​ dodged ​him, but ​Qingyuan’s whip struck him. A deep gouge appeared from ​his left shoulder up to the side ​of his ​neck​. The blood ​gushed out almost instantly.
