Chapter 561: Let Me Handle the Demon Lord
"Haha! Have you ever seen a great demon reason with a book?" Ye Wenxin laughed heartily, suddenly finding the villain role quite advantageous. Her instincts told her that Wen Susu was hiding much more, making it hard for Ye Wenxin to trust her.
"You... you're nothing like I imagined," Wen Susu said, her face showing frustration as she punched Ye Wenxin a few times, though it did nothing to her. As Ye Wenxin continued on, Wen Susu shouted from behind, "Fine, don't go to her. I'll show you the unofficial history!"
Ye Wenxin paused, smiling, "That's more like it. I'm curious about what's in there that makes you look so conflicted."
Wen Susu felt trapped, realizing that despite her vast knowledge as the Celestial Book, she had been outwitted by a mere human. With a mix of frustration and resignation, she handed over the second volume of the unofficial history.
This time, there were no elaborate gestures, making Ye Wenxin suspect that Wen Susu had been putting on a show earlier. Wen Susu, feeling exasperated, tossed the book and retreated a few steps. Unable to run normally, she looked somewhat comical, and Ye Wenxin chuckled as Wen Susu, now at a distance, called out, "Remember, you promised not to go to Luo Mo!"
With that, Wen Susu flew away, quickly disappearing from sight. Ye Wenxin felt puzzled but decided to take the book to share with the fox spirit, eager to explore the various scenarios described within. However, upon reaching the fox spirit's chambers, she found her looking helpless.
The bear demon was fast asleep, tightly holding the fox spirit's hand. The fox spirit gave Ye Wenxin a wry smile, "Looks like I can't leave tonight."
Perhaps the bear demon had finally noticed something amiss, as he seemed unusually clingy tonight.
"Did he touch you?" Ye Wenxin guessed, seeing the fox spirit still drowsy, reminding her that they were in a precarious relationship, caught between being a mistress and a legitimate partner.
"No, but I used illusions to give him some benefits," the fox spirit replied with a mischievous smile, gesturing for Ye Wenxin to come closer.
Ye Wenxin leaned in, and the fox spirit captured her in a kiss, though it was brief due to the bear demon's presence, making things inconvenient.
"I've been looking for a way for us to have children together. Just hang in there a bit longer," the fox spirit reassured Ye Wenxin, fearing she'd be concerned. Despite claiming she needed a man, the fox spirit's heart seemed entirely swayed. She couldn't accept anyone else, utterly bound by Ye Wenxin's Peach Blossom Fate.
Ye Wenxin was about to say her farewells but couldn't bring herself to, especially with the bear demon nearby, so she ended the meeting abruptly.
Feeling idle, Ye Wenxin returned to her room, her mind lingering on the fox spirit's mention of having children, which kept her awake.
It seemed the fox spirit had overcome one hurdle, only to face more concerns. But with Lady Yu already having her child, imagining a child with the fox spirit, especially given her mischievous nature, Ye Wenxin wondered what kind of formidable offspring they might have.
Unable to sleep, Ye Wenxin considered visiting Fairy Fengya, only to recall she had returned to Cangyu Sect. With the sword ghost still weak, she couldn't chat with her either.
