The rule of Tushan is: "Pluck the feathers of a passing goose, and leave the skin of a departing beast."

but……

Fang Rui's gaze fell on the two fox demon girls who were covered in wounds. The rule-maker and the accountant in charge of keeping accounts were still young, so the rules should not have been implemented yet... right?

Considering it might be a family tradition, Fang Rui took two steps closer to Tu Shan Rongrong, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Tu Shan doesn't have a rule about charging tolls, does it?"

During their journey, Fang Rui healed Tu Shan Rongrong and Tu Shan Honghong's injuries with talismans, thus bringing the two demons closer together.

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Rongrong looked puzzled, tilted her head to look at Fang Rui, and said in a gentle tone, "No~ Tu Shan doesn't have that kind of rule, why would you ask that?"

Tu Shan Rongrong stared with her emerald green pupils, her large eyes filled with curiosity.

"Well, I've only heard people say that, it's probably slander." Fang Rui casually made up an excuse to brush it off, then quickly changed the subject: "By the way, will I be in trouble as an outsider entering Tushan?"

Upon hearing Fang Rui's answer, Tu Shan Rongrong seemed thoughtful. Just as she was about to answer his follow-up questions, Tu Shan Honghong, who had been listening in the entire time, preemptively answered:

"No, you are someone I brought back to Tushan. You are a guest of Tushan. Except for a few areas that you cannot enter, all other areas are open to you."

"Is that so..." Fang Rui nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then he continued to ask, "What if I want to see the books collected by Tu Shan? Including demonic arts and cultivation manuals..."

Tu Shan Honghong did not stop walking, and her voice came a little later: "Yes, if you really want to see it, I can tell the guard in charge of the library to allow you to enter."

"It seems you hold a high position in Tushan," Fang Rui said, feigning ignorance.

Tushan Honghong did not answer.

When Tu Shan Rongrong saw that her sister hadn't said anything, she didn't say anything either.

The Sparrowhawk Demon King, who was listening nearby, was very tempted. She thought that since she was also a guest, she should be able to enter the library... right?!

That's what she thought, and that's what she said: "I want to too..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, Tu Shan Honghong interrupted her: "No!"

Her cold words silenced her, and the rest of her words were swallowed back down.

She pouted, inwardly complaining about Tu Shan Honghong's differential treatment, even though they were both guests.

Thinking this, she looked at Fang Rui and immediately understood her situation.

To be more precise, it would be more accurate to describe her as a guest's servant.

Sorry, that was just my wild imagination.

Thinking this to herself, Que Ying suddenly felt somewhat withdrawn.

Not long after entering the Tushan Fox Domain, fox demons dressed in uniform emerged from the forest, standing around Tushan Honghong and Tushan Rongrong, and said respectfully:

"Lady Honghong, Lady Rongrong!"

Fang Rui, standing nearby, whistled softly, inwardly praising the old powerhouse for its impressive presence.

"They are guests, so arrange rooms for them."

Tu Shan Honghong nodded slightly in response, then pointed at Fang Rui and said.

"Yes." The two fox demons responded and came to Fang Rui's side, gesturing "Please follow me." "Guest, please follow me."

With that, the two fox demons turned and walked into the forest, with Fang Rui and Que Ying following behind.

On the other side, Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong, surrounded by many fox demons, walked in another direction.

After some time, the group left the mountains and arrived at the core area of ​​the Tushan Fox Domain.

At this time, the Tushan Fox Domain was not as prosperous as it would be hundreds of years later when commerce was extremely developed, but overall it could still be described as "prosperous".

Wide, flat stone-paved roads lead in all directions, and ancient-style pavilions can be seen everywhere. Fox spirits and other demons roam the city.

As for the humans within the city... only Fang Rui remained.

Therefore, he attracted a lot of attention when he walked through the city, and many monsters felt a sense of unease.

It's not a friendly, restless impulse, but rather a restless desire for a real-life showdown.

However, upon seeing the Tushan Fox Clan members beside Fang Rui, the murderous intent that had been simmering within him subsided.

After all, this is the territory of the Tushan Fox Clan, so we should give them some face.

"I always feel that if I go out alone, there's a 90% chance I'll get a sack over my head and beaten up."

Noticing the way the monsters around him were looking at him, Fang Rui muttered to himself.

Hearing his mutterings, the Sparrowhawk Demon King gestured for him not to be so conservative: "Be bold, it might be one hundred percent."

"Thanks for reminding me." Fang Rui's lips twitched, and he gave Que Ying a speechless look.

"Please come in, guest."

The two fox demons stopped in front of a two-story building, pushed open the door, and spoke to the two people.

This place is very close to the Bitter Love Tree, which is considered to be very close to the core area.

After standing at the door and carefully observing for a while, Fang Rui suddenly turned to the two fox demons and asked, "By the way, where do Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong live?"

The two fox spirits responded with polite smiles, indicating that this question was outside the scope of their answers.

How are we supposed to manage our three meals a day?

Considering the attitudes of other demon clans within the Tushan Fox Domain towards him, Fang Rui asked a more important question.

The two fox demons understood why Fang Rui had asked about this matter and immediately replied, "Please rest assured, guest, we will deliver the food on time."

Chapter 91 Obsession with Knowledge

Although some residents in the Tushan Fox Domain harbored ill intentions towards Fang Rui, nothing like putting him in a sack did happen; at most, some monsters just looked rather fierce.

After all, the relationship between humans and monsters is quite bad nowadays, so it's normal to have this reaction. Fang Rui himself didn't pay much attention to it.

Every day, I am busy reading the books in the Tushan Library. The library contains a wide variety of books, including all kinds of strange and wonderful demon arts, cultivation methods of the fox clan and other demon clans, miscellaneous books on spiritual plants, and even storybooks...

After all, it's a long-established organization, so it's normal for them to have so many books.

Fang Rui didn't read books of anecdotes and trivia, but instead focused on books about sorcery and cultivation techniques, because these kinds of books were more useful to him.

While Fang Rui was diligently memorizing his lessons, Tu Shan Honghong was also searching for a way to awaken the scarred boy.

Perhaps Fang Rui's intervention was a little too late, causing some problems with the scarred boy's soul. In the doctor's own words...

Originally, the other party's soul had already left the body, and the connection with the physical body was so weak that it would break with the slightest breeze, like a lotus root with thin threads. However, a sudden rope was tied around the neck, and a brute force pulled the soul back into the body, making the soul and body somewhat incompatible.

To put it more vividly... if you take an ice cube out of a glass and then roughly throw it back in, can you say it's exactly the same as before?

The answer is no.

It could even be said that the changes are quite significant!

Therefore, the scarred boy has not yet regained consciousness.

Tu Shan Hong Hong is searching for a way to resolve the incompatibility between her soul and body, and is also a frequent visitor to the library. Tu Shan Rong Rong, as Tu Shan Hong Hong's little follower, is also a frequent visitor to the library.

Que Ying also wanted to become a regular at the library, but unfortunately she was not qualified to enter. So she settled for being a regular at the Tushan Commercial Street, or more accurately, a regular at the restaurants in the Tushan Commercial Street.

Unfortunately, the Tushan Fox Clan had no intention of reimbursing Queying's daily expenses, so her savings were decreasing at a visible rate.

A month later, Tu Shan Ya Ya, who had been in seclusion cultivating the Frost Demon Qi, emerged from seclusion and the first thing she did was tell her sister about it...

After confirming Tu Shan Honghong's location by asking the servants, she happily ran towards the library, her voice already reaching the room before she even entered.

"Sister, I've emerged from seclusion and mastered the Frost Demon Qi!"

Inside the library, whether it was Tu Shan Rongrong, who was reading books attentively, or Fang Rui and Tu Shan Honghong, who were discussing something, they all looked up at the entrance of the library.

With a loud "thud" echoing in the quiet library, the heavy, antique wooden door seemed to have been hit by a speeding car, and it spun to the sides as if it had broken free from its frame. The second and third dull, loud sounds reverberated throughout the library.

At the same time, a fox spirit girl dressed in red and white rushed into the library as if her brakes had failed, pouncing on Tu Shan Hong Hong, who was sitting at the desk like a hungry tiger.

Fang Rui, who was sitting next to Tu Shan Honghong, saw the little girl rushing towards him. His left arm moved reflexively, and he almost slapped Tu Shan Yaya in the face.

After all, the momentum with which the other party charged was truly frightening!

"Ya Ya, be quiet." Tu Shan Hong Hong's expression was very calm, and Tu Shan Ya Ya, upon hearing her sister's words, immediately did a one-and-a-half-turn in the air, and after landing on the ground, said quite obediently, "Okay, sister."

At the same time, he looked at Tu Shan Hong Hong with expectant eyes.

Knowing what she was expecting, Tu Shan Honghong smiled gently and reached out her right hand to lightly stroke Tu Shan Ya Ya's black hair, praising, "Ya Ya is very capable~"

"Hehe~" Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya revealed a silly smile.

Fang Rui's expression was somewhat subtle. Tu Shan Ya Ya had a completely different attitude when facing her sister Tu Shan Hong Hong and others.

No wonder he's a sister-complex guy~

Not wanting to disturb the two, Fang Rui turned his attention to the books, his mind focused on learning more and having no time for anything else.

However, Tu Shan Honghong had no intention of letting Fang Rui off the hook. She immediately said to Tu Shan Yaya, "He is a new friend of mine named Fang Rui."

Before the words had even faded, Fang Rui felt a sharp gaze fall upon him.

Following the source of the gaze, the person I saw was indeed a certain loli.

A rather handsome stranger...

Tu Shan Ya Ya's vigilance immediately increased.

In response, Fang Rui said, "You silly little girl, you've got the wrong person. The person you should be wary of isn't me."

I'm currently so engrossed in knowledge that I have no interest in romance or love affairs for the time being.

Of course, Fang Rui didn't remind Tu Shan Ya Ya of his thoughts. After all, the little girl had already placed him under suspicion, and it was too late to say anything now, because the little girl wouldn't believe him.

"I hope it doesn't disturb my memorization."

Although he was praying in his heart, Fang Rui believed that Tu Shan Ya Ya would definitely interfere with his memorization.

"What a hassle!" Fang Rui thought to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and smiled as he said to Tu Shan Ya Ya, "Hello, my name is Fang Rui."

"Hmph~" Tu Shan Ya Ya turned her head to one side.

"…………" Fang Rui's smile remained unchanged. He had already anticipated Tu Shan Ya Ya's reaction. After all, she was a sister-complex person, so it would be strange if she could give a nice look to the opposite sex next to her sister.

"Ya Ya, you can't be so rude!" Tu Shan Hong Hong raised her index finger and lectured Tu Shan Ya Ya.

“Okay, sister, I understand~” Tu Shan Ya Ya said obediently.

I understand, but I won't change...
