In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 81 Subduing the Fox Demon
Liu Xingchen had always suspected that his mother's disappearance was related to his father, but he was bedridden and powerless, and did not want to involve his maternal grandmother's family, so he dared not take any action.

He thought he would never hear from his mother, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and his maternal grandmother found a deity!
"Fairy Boy, my mother left home when I was six and never came back. My father married his current wife less than a year later. I've always suspected that my mother was in my father's way and that's why he..."

“After my mother disappeared, rumors spread throughout the city that she had run away with someone. I didn’t believe the rumors, but I was too weak and sick to prove my mother’s innocence.”

"Since you are immortals, please, two celestial children, allow my mother and son to reunite, at least to clear my mother's name and prevent her from being troubled by rumors."

Liu Xingchen knelt down on the ground, trembling.

He was just a sixteen-year-old boy who was weak and had never made any friends. He wanted to find his mother but was powerless to do so.

Now, he finally sees a glimmer of hope.

Very good!
Shuiwa used her spiritual power to lift Liu Xingchen up and cast a gentle halo of light into his body, dispelling the slight demonic energy within him.

Liu Xingchen felt that his cough had improved a lot and his breathing had become much easier.

A strong hope shone in his eyes.

"Thank you, two celestial attendants."

Huowa said, "Let's go catch the demon first. Perhaps your mother is being hidden by the demon in some corner of the Liu family's house. If not, we can look for another place after we subdue the demon."

Liu Xingchen asked, "Where is the demon located?"

"You'll find out when you come with us."

When Huowa and Shuiwa left, they took Liu Xingchen with them. No one knew they had broken into the Liu family, but the demon must have known of their existence based on the changes in spiritual power.

To prevent Liu Xingchen from being harmed by the demon, the two took him with them when they were exorcising the demon.

In the blink of an eye, the world spun around, and the scene changed rapidly. Liu Xingchen closed his eyes in a daze, and when he opened them again, he was no longer in his own room.

He recognized it at a glance: "This is...my mother's courtyard?"

His biological mother originally lived here, but after his father remarried, his nominal mother moved in.

He was not familiar with his stepmother, and because of his poor health, he rarely saw her.

"Could the demon be hiding in Mother's courtyard?"

"Is it possible that your stepmother is a demon?" Shuiwa asked him.

"What?" Liu Xingchen was extremely shocked.

Fire Boy's eyes turned golden as he scanned the area: "The monster is indeed here!"

Fire Boy and Water Boy cast spells, freezing everyone in place in various poses except for Liu Xingchen and the monsters in the courtyard.

Liu Xingchen found it incredibly amazing.

Inside the room, the fox demon was lying on the bed, letting the maids massage her shoulders and legs, looking relaxed and comfortable. Suddenly, the maids stopped what they were doing.

"Why did you stop?" she asked casually, her eyes closed.

Instead of hearing the voices of the maids around her, she felt a surge of spiritual pressure in the air. She opened her eyes with a start, looked around in astonishment, and quickly got up from the soft couch.

The maids stopped what they were doing.

It looks like they've been immobilized by magic.

"somebody is coming!"

She cautiously went outside to take a look.

"Oh!" Seeing Liu Xingchen, she felt relieved: "Xing'er, did you come to see me for something? And who are these two...?"

Upon seeing Huowa and Shuiwa, she became wary again, for these two children were cultivators!

Fire Boy and Water Boy could tell at a glance that the fox demon had demonic and bloodthirsty aura. She must have harmed many humans. The fox demon's skin was not her original skin, but belonged to someone else.

She should practice a method of skin painting, using the skin of a human woman to create a painted skin to wear, which can mask the scent of a fox.

"Whoosh!" Fire Boy unleashed a ball of raging fire.

The fox demon's pupils widened in surprise, and she turned pale with fright.

"Who are you? And what brings you to my house?"

The fox demon asked in a shrill, menacing voice, her imposing manner seemingly masking her inner turmoil. She could tell that the two children's cultivation levels were no lower than hers.

A sense of vigilance and panic suddenly arose in my heart.

"Fox demon, your body is brimming with blood energy; you must have harmed many human women, haven't you? You keep changing your skin to try and conceal your fox scent from mortals, but have you ever considered that there are also cultivators among the human race?"

"You don't need to know who we are. You only need to know that we are here today to subdue the demon."

Fire Boy approached her.

Shuiwa gathered spiritual energy and transformed it into a ball of light, enveloping Liu Xingchen inside.

"Don't come out, or you'll hurt yourself," Shuiwa reminded him.

Liu Xingchen nodded, his face pale.

His tongue was tied, and he could barely speak: "I...I won't...go out!"

He carefully considered the words of the two celestial children.

They mean that his stepmother is a fox spirit!

Furthermore, in order to cover up her fox-like scent, the stepmother made a painted skin from the skin of a living woman and wore it on herself.

Fairy Boy said that his stepmother had harmed many people, so she had changed her body countless times. No wonder he used to always smell a bloody scent on his stepmother, thinking it was just a hallucination caused by his illness.

Seeing her stepmother's pale face, and the thought that her body belonged to someone else.

"Ugh—" Liu Xingchen vomited violently, his face was as pale as paper, and his body trembled slightly.

Fire Boy threw the flame from his palm at the fox demon, which grazed its body. Immediately, a burnt smell wafted up, and the fox demon's skin cracked into pieces, with a faint fox stench emanating from it.

"Ah!" The fox demon was terrified.

She shouted angrily, "You...you deserve to die!"

As she spoke, she spread her arms wide, and seven crimson tails shot into the sky with a whoosh. The furry tails were still covered with shattered leather pouches. Her eyes were bloodshot, and two sharp teeth emerged from her mouth. Her fingernails visibly grew longer.

so horrible!

"Snapped!"

Liu Xingchen collapsed to the ground, utterly distraught.

He felt uneasy. Could his mother be among the women harmed by his fox demon stepmother?

The Fire Child's spiritual energy transformed into a long sword burning with raging flames, while the Water Child's spiritual energy condensed into a long whip covered in thorns. The weapons in the hands of the two children were menacing and menacing.

Fire Boy wields a long sword in one hand and a demon-binding rope in the other.

Shuiwa held a long whip in one hand and a demon-slaying talisman in the other.

The fox demon lay prostrate on the ground, and after several twists and turns, a giant red fox with overwhelming power appeared, its foot seemingly capable of cracking the earth.

"Roar!" she roared, a roar that seemed to pierce the ears.

Liu Xingchen grimaced and hid inside the ball of light, covering his ears and closing his eyes, waiting anxiously for the battle to end.

He silently vowed in his heart: The fairy boy must kill this demon.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in our business?" The fox demon transformed into its original form, glaring fiercely at the two children.

“You killed someone! So we’re here to subdue the demon!” Fire Boy replied.

The fox demon seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and she questioned, "Whether I kill someone or not, what business is it of yours?"

“Our goddess is the spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range, a deity. When mortals come to her for help, she will naturally solve their problems,” Shuiwa replied.

"I'm asking you, is the disappearance of the original wife of the Liu family related to you?"

The fox demon scoffed, "What if I don't tell you?"

"brush!"

Fire Boy stepped forward and slashed at her seven tails.
