However, harsh words can be thrown around casually, but strength is not something that can be amassed overnight. Jiang Haotian's cultivation level is far beyond mine, and the demonic energy I absorbed earlier is indeed insufficient in his presence.
After just a few exchanges, I began to struggle...
"You're really just a waste! It seems my grandfather has truly lost his senses..."
Jiang Haotian suddenly swung his palm fiercely, sending a beam of golden light rushing toward me. I had no time to dodge and could only raise the Copper Scraper to take the hit. The immense force sent me flying, crashing hard against a large tree.
"Jiang Xiaoman!"
I heard Su Yan's voice. Although blood was already seeping from the corner of my mouth, I gritted my teeth and stood up.
"Hmph! You overestimate yourself!"
Jiang Haotian gathered his spiritual energy once more!
This is it; being a hero feels good for a moment, but now I'm facing my own funeral.
Before I could close my eyes, suddenly, a silver figure darted past and stood in front of me.
It was Su Yan!
She maintained her human form but had unleashed nine fluffy tails, two of which wrapped tightly around me while the other seven charged straight for Jiang Haotian’s face!
Taking advantage of Jiang Haotian's moment of evasion, Su Yan shouted, "Run!" and pulled me deeper into the woods.
Fortunately, the terrain of Wan She Lin is complex, and with Xiao Hei Mao leading the way, we finally managed to shake off Jiang Haotian and his group for the time being. We escaped back to the village in the city and hid in a secluded dilapidated house.
Su Yan and I leaned against the wall, sliding down to sit on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Jiang Xiaoman, thank you..."
I waved my hand to interrupt her.
"Enough with the useless talk. I just want to know what that copper coin you left for me is all about."
Su Yan looked down at her palm and suddenly smiled gently. "You already know, don't you? I am the Thousand-Year Nine-Tailed Fox Demon. But right now, I can only appear in human form because seventy percent of my demonic power has been sealed."
"Why? What did you do?"
"It’s not me; it’s my mother who violated the rules of the demon clan. I’m just being implicated..." Su Yan lifted her chin and pointed to Xiao Hei Mao, who was perched on the windowsill, keeping watch. "That’s the one the clan leader sent to monitor me."
Then, the Little Fox Spirit sheepishly touched her nose. "Um, I left you the copper coins because... because I wanted to learn your barbecue recipe... I didn’t expect that it would end up saving me instead."
I was left utterly confused. "Wait, why do you want my barbecue recipe? Do you realize that while you’re enjoying those skewers, I’m actually absorbing your demon power?"
"I knew it from the first bite," she replied. "But then I realized that it was also helping me release my demon power, which can break the seal inside me... so..." Su Yan hesitated and glanced at Xiao Hei Mao.
Xiao Hei Mao lazily flicked its tail, appearing disinterested in our conversation.
I never expected this from Su Yan. What I thought was a one-sided plunder turned out to be a mutual benefit?
Suddenly, Su Yan leaned closer with a bright smile and gently nudged me with her elbow. "Hey, Jiang Xiaoman, you really don’t need to worry. Absorbing my demon power won’t harm me; in fact, it helps me break the seal. Isn’t that a win-win? Just keep grilling Da Yao Zi for me in the future!"
I: ...Can you stop bringing up Da Yao Zi all the time, beautiful?!
At that moment, Xiao Hei Mao suddenly let out a low hiss. "Jiang Haotian is coming! And he’s very close!"
