Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 68

"What?!"

Yaoshenzi was horrified.

How could this be?!

The alchemical furnace had been sealed and kept in his study, never moved.

Elder Wu took out a damaged wooden box from his Qiankun pouch.

The surface of the wooden box showed signs of having been scratched by spiritual energy. The marks were fresh, indicating the furnace had only recently been stolen.

Xuanyuan Mu sneered: "To avoid returning the demon pill, you even staged such a clumsy act. Do you really think I'll believe you?!"

She had come today to demand the demon pill, but Yaoshenzi made up a story about it being refined by someone else, and now the sealed furnace had been stolen. Such coincidences were simply impossible!

Xuanyuan Mu trembled with anger, thinking that if she didn't get serious, these people might still take her lightly.

Just as she was about to act, a light exclamation came from beside her.

"What's this box..."

Xuanyuan Mu turned to look at Yan Zhao.

Among the crowd were many experts with high cultivation and keen hearing. Moreover, Yan Zhao was being held by Xuanyuan Mu, which naturally drew attention.

Both Yaoshenzi and Nangong Yin heard Yan Zhao's mumbling at the same time.

Their gazes turned in unison toward Yan Zhao.

Yan Zhao, held by Xuanyuan Mu, patted the box with a hand.

A dark alchemical furnace fell from the sky and landed on Yan Zhao.

Because Yan Zhao rarely called for it, the furnace was overjoyed and, in its excitement, hopped up and down on Yan Zhao's head.

With each hop, the furnace lid clanged loudly, causing Yan Zhao's head to bob up and down.

Everyone present fell into silence.

Elder Wu's beard trembled: "Sect... Sect Leader..."

Yaoshenzi saw this scene too, but instead of being terrified like Elder Wu, his eyes shone with excitement.

Xuanyuan Mu: "......"

She released Yan Zhao, grabbed the alchemical furnace, and after sensing it for a moment, opened her eyes in disappointment: "......It's not here."

The demon pill's contract had been transferred to a new owner, and the remaining aura had been completely cleansed. Whether Yaoshenzi's words were true or false could no longer be determined.

Xuanyuan Mu's eyes filled with tears, and her long-held belief suddenly collapsed.

She swayed slightly, muttering to herself: "I just wanted to recover my beloved pet's remains. Why can't even this small wish be fulfilled?"

Yan Zhao heard her voice and turned to look at her.

Perhaps Xuanyuan Mu's sadness was too vivid; Yan Zhao had never seen such an expression before.

She tilted her head, thinking that if someone took her little fox, she would be very angry too.

Suddenly, something flashed through her mind.

She did indeed have a demon pill, and it came from this alchemical furnace.

So she reached into her clothes, carefully felt around for a while, and pulled out the colorful demon pill.
