Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing was momentarily stunned, looking at the little creature beside him with shock, unable to react right away.

The little white fox, however, ignored Ye Qing. It stuffed the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill into its mouth, savoring it with delight, completely immersed in the joy of eating, like a top-tier foodie. However, a single Ziyu Chenxiang Pill was far from enough for it. After finishing one, it immediately raised its head, staring expectantly at Ye Qing with its glossy black eyes, its two little paws reaching out to tug at Ye Qing’s sleeve, seemingly wanting Ye Qing to give it more Ziyu Chenxiang Pills.

Being tugged a few times by this little guy, Ye Qing finally came to his senses. He looked at the little white fox in shock, and said tremulously, ”Just now... was it you who bit through the petal of the Devouring Demon Flower?”

The little white fox either did not understand Ye Qing’s words or was focused on the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills in Ye Qing’s hand, merely staring eagerly at the bottle of pills, completely ignoring what Ye Qing was saying. Its little paws clutched Ye Qing’s sleeve tightly, as if urging Ye Qing to quickly give it the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills.

Seeing the little white fox like this, Ye Qing’s heart stirred slightly. He sealed the bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills and then stuffed it into his pocket.

The little white fox had been eagerly watching the bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, expecting Ye Qing to give it a few more, but was surprised when Ye Qing directly put the bottle away. It immediately became anxious, pulling at Ye Qing’s sleeve and jumping around on his shoulder, making squeaky noises, as if clamoring for Ye Qing to hurry up and give it the pills.

”Want to eat the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills?” Ye Qing asked with a smile.

The little white fox looked at Ye Qing, its shiny black eyes staring wide, and surprisingly nodded its head, which was completely unexpected for Ye Qing. This confirmed even more for Ye Qing that this little guy could definitely understand human speech!

”You can have them, but you need to do me a favor first.” Ye Qing took out the bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills and waved it in front of the little white fox, clearly seeing its eyes widen, constantly swallowing saliva, its foodie nature fully revealed.

”I have a friend who is also trapped inside these Devouring Demon Flowers. If you help me rescue her, not only will this whole bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills be yours, but she also has a bottle, and I’ll give that one to you too!” Ye Qing tempted the little creature, shaking the bottle of pills.

The little white fox stood on Ye Qing’s shoulder, glancing between the bottle in Ye Qing’s hand and Ye Qing himself, as if pondering whether this deal was worth it.

”If you rescue her, I’ll bring you Ziyu Chenxiang Pills every time I come here!” Ye Qing sweetened the deal once more.

This time, the little white fox seemed to be genuinely persuaded. It grabbed Ye Qing’s sleeve with one paw and pointed to the bottle with the other.

Ye Qing was slightly puzzled, unsure of what the little creature meant. He tried opening the bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, allowing the fragrance of the pills to waft out.

Upon smelling the scent, the little creature appeared intoxicated. It wrinkled its nose and suddenly turned around, leaping directly off Ye Qing’s body.

”Ah!” Ye Qing gasped, intending to catch it, but it was too late. The little creature landed on the ground, darting away like lightning, so fast that Ye Qing was left dumbfounded.

Ye Qing had witnessed the Purple Robe Lama crossing the river with a reed and saw Yin Xianzi’s Carefree Movement, both of which were the fastest light body skills he’d ever seen. However, the little creature’s speed just now far surpassed both the Purple Robe Lama and Yin Xianzi, something Ye Qing had never seen before, leaving him utterly astonished. Just the speed of this little creature alone was enough to outclass all the masters in the world!

The little white fox had originally been beside Ye Qing in the center of the cave, and within seconds of landing, it had darted to the nearby stone wall. It climbed directly to a Devouring Demon Flower, ascending it and standing atop it.

Seeing the little white fox act this way, Ye Qing’s spirits lifted. It seemed that this little creature really understood his words and was going to help him rescue Huangfu Ziyu, which made Ye Qing excited. Honestly, he’d rather die here himself than have anything happen to Huangfu Ziyu here.

Fortunately, with the little white fox’s help, Ye Qing finally had hope of rescuing Huangfu Ziyu. Of course, this was only just hope. Because inside this cave, with thousands of Devouring Demon Flowers, no one knew exactly which flower contained Huangfu Ziyu. Although the little creature could bite through the Devouring Demon Flowers, the speed was actually not fast. It would take at least one or two months to bite through all of them individually. However, Huangfu Ziyu could not possibly last that long inside a Devouring Demon Flower, which was Ye Qing’s biggest concern.

Ye Qing stared nervously at the Little White Fox, but the fox stood atop the Devouring Demon Flower, not nibbling at it, but leisurely grooming its white fur, looking quite relaxed.

Seeing the Little White Fox like this, Ye Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and said anxiously, ”Little one, you have to help me rescue the person; only then can I give you the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill. Don’t you want the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill?”

As Ye Qing spoke, he waved the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill in his hand, offering more enticement to the Little White Fox.

The Little White Fox ignored Ye Qing. It tidied its fur and suddenly stood up on the Devouring Demon Flower, letting out a low howl to the sky. The sound wasn’t loud, but in Ye Qing’s ears, it carried an indescribable feeling. The sound seemed to have a demonic nature, and at that moment, Ye Qing seemed to forget what he was doing, his mind completely blank, his whole being somewhat dazed.

After a full half-minute, Ye Qing finally returned to normal. He looked at the Little White Fox in astonishment, unable to even recall what had just happened. But he was very clear that for half a minute, it felt like his soul had left his body, knowing nothing at all. And all of this was because of the Little White Fox’s howl—wasn’t this too magical? Did this little one’s howl really have the power to seize one’s mind?

Not long after the Little White Fox’s first howl, it howled a second time. This time, although Ye Qing was prepared, the sound still blanked his mind. This demonic sound was impossible to resist.

This second howl completely convinced Ye Qing of the Little White Fox’s ability. However, he was even more baffled. He wanted the Little White Fox to rescue someone, but instead, it was howling on the Devouring Demon Flower—what was the meaning of this?

Before Ye Qing could figure it out, the Little White Fox let out a third howl. This time, just like before, Ye Qing’s mind went blank again. When he finally regained his senses, the Little White Fox had already jumped down from the Devouring Demon Flower, leaping to his side, climbing onto his shoulder, and pointing its little paw at the bottle in Ye Qing’s hand, asking for the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill.

Ye Qing looked at this little creature, his heart even more shocked. He was already sure that this little one was far from being just a simple Little White Fox. However, he didn’t have time to explore this little one’s origins now; rescuing Huangfu Ziyu was what worried him the most.

”You haven’t even helped me rescue the person, and you still want the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill?” Ye Qing put the bottle away angrily and said, ”No way!”

The Little White Fox immediately panicked, gripping Ye Qing’s shoulder with one paw and gesturing frantically with the other, chattering away. Ye Qing watched for a while, really couldn’t understand, and said, ”Stop gesturing; talk after rescuing the person. If you can’t rescue them, I won’t give it to you!”

”Chirp chirp...” Seeing that gesturing didn’t work, the little creature grabbed Ye Qing’s arm, pointing repeatedly beside him with one paw.

”Pointing at what?” Ye Qing followed the direction the Little White Fox pointed, saying, ”What are you showing me? Without rescuing the person, what’s there to see?”

The little creature patted Ye Qing’s shoulder, pointing vigorously to the side again. Ye Qing, slightly puzzled, looked carefully once more. The Little White Fox was pointing at the stone wall beside them, where several Devouring Demon Flowers were. Ye Qing had only glanced casually before, not noticing anything special. But upon careful inspection now, he suddenly realized something was off. The petals of those Devouring Demon Flowers were slowly unfolding, revealing the inside!

”What’s going on here?” Ye Qing widened his eyes. Those Devouring Demon Flowers were slowly opening, as if activated. However, the vines didn’t move, just blossoming on the stone wall, showing no intention of attacking.

Ye Qing finally understood what the Little White Fox wanted to show him. He quickly looked elsewhere to find all the surrounding Devouring Demon Flowers slowly unfurling, just like the few he had seen.

”How did it do that?” Ye Qing looked at the Little White Fox on his shoulder with shock, feeling even more thrilled. With these Devouring Demon Flowers opening, finding Huangfu Ziyu would be much easier.

If the Little White Fox had to bite each Devouring Demon Flower, it would take too long and they might not save Huangfu Ziyu. However, with the flowers opening, they could quickly find Huangfu Ziyu and ensure her rescue!

Of course, the Little White Fox couldn’t answer Ye Qing’s question. It still lay on Ye Qing’s shoulder, its eyes fixated on the bottle in Ye Qing’s hand, drooling with hunger. This little creature had no idea how much it had shocked and excited Ye Qing; its focus remained solely on the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, fully fitting its role as a glutton!
