Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Tu Shan Hong Hong left these words behind and flew off in the opposite direction from them, towards Tu Shan Bi Jian Lake. The person she wanted to ask for help from was Cui Yu Ling, the patriarch of the Leech Clan.

"Hehehe, Honghong actually asked me for help. I thought you'd forgotten about your good sister qwq."

Tu Shan Hong Hong's lips twitched violently as she looked at Cui Yu Ling, who was clinging to her leg and rubbing against her.

"This is a personal request of mine. I don't know how dangerous it will be. If you, Yuling, are unwilling, I will not force you."

"Um, are you sure you don't want to tell one of the Taoist masters in Tushan?"

Cui Yuling was a little confused. What personal entrustment? Given Dongfang Haoyang's extremely protective nature, he didn't leave her, his good friend and sister-in-law of the Dongfang family, any means of protection. Cui Yuling simply couldn't believe it.

"I...I've already spoken to Lord Haoyang..."

"Phew, that scared me to death. If he doesn't agree, it will be difficult for me to help you."

"Oh, right, Yu Ling asked me to give this to you."

As Tu Shan Honghong spoke, she summoned a talisman.

Cui Yuling's beautiful eyes widened as she took the talisman that Honghong handed her and examined it.

On the fiery red talisman paper, there is a gorgeous red lotus pattern, so lifelike that it seems to still be burning. In the middle of it, there is a single character.

"This is……"

"Rongrong said she felt bad about taking so much money from you, so she specially gave you this magic talisman."

Cui Yuling recalled the five cartloads of gold and silver treasures she had given to Rongrong, and her heart ached as if it were bleeding.

Her lips twitched slightly as she looked at the fire talisman in her hand.

"What...what's the use of this? To start a fire...?"

Jade Spirit could sense the magic talisman in the hand but felt nothing; it only possessed a meager amount of magical power, barely enough to ignite a fire.

Rongrong said this talisman can save lives.

"Help?!" Cui Yuling was stunned and stopped fanning herself with the magic talisman.

She thought it was just a decoration, but when she heard it could save her life, she became interested and held it above her head to look at it from left to right.

"How do I use this...?"

"Hmm, it seems to be triggered passively whenever a life-threatening situation arises, altering the cause and effect for a short period of time. I can't think of anything else..."

Tu Shan Rongrong actually gave a lot of instructions, but Hong Hong's brain capacity was limited, so she only remembered this much.

Cui Yuling's lips twitched; she knew her good friend's memory all too well.

The memory of a fish is fleeting; it fades as soon as it sees something.

"Um, do you still remember how to use Honghong...?"

"Hmm, I remember that. Just stick it on your back like this, and it should be fine."

The clear sound of bells rang out, and Tu Shan Honghong turned around with her back to Cui Yuling. On the back of her bright red clothes, a fire talisman appeared.

Cui Yuling rubbed her chin and nodded, carefully observing the fiery red talisman on Hong Hong's back.

"Yes, I know how to use it..."

"But why do you have the number 10 on your back, while this talisman in my hand only has the number 1 engraved on it?"

"Hmm? Is that so?"

"yes."

Tu Shan Honghong carefully examined the talisman in Cui Yuling's hand and indeed found that the character "一" was different from the cross on her back.

"It should be some kind of number. Rong'er and Ya'er both have them on their backs. I think they're around the twentieth..."

Cui Yuling nodded and put the talisman away. Rongrong wouldn't lie to her about such an important matter.

However, this life-saving magical talisman can also be used to affix talismans to her best friend, the Queen of Tushan, and her most cherished and beloved younger sister.

And the only one who could do this without her having any doubts was probably that Taoist priest.

"It must have been that young master's doing."

Tu Shan Honghong didn't hide anything and readily nodded. Of course, there were also many precious robes and pills that she had been given to her at the beginning of the month as a token of appreciation, but Honghong didn't bring them because she felt they weren't very convenient.

"Oh, how thoughtful!"

Cui Yuling covered her lips and chuckled, in a very good mood. Compared to the five carts of gold and silver treasures, this life-saving talisman, crafted by Dongfang Haoyang with the strongest craftsmanship in history, was worth more than ten thousand times.

After all, money can be earned again, but life is only once!

Thinking of how beautiful Cui Yuling looked with the magic talisman, he quickly ran into the clan's territory!

Tu Shan Hong Hong put down blankly, wanting to grab Cui Yu Ling's arm, watching Cui Yu Ling jump and hop, not understanding why she was so happy.

"Oh, by the way, when are we leaving?"

"Yes, in seven days."

After Tu Shan Honghong finished speaking, Cui Yuling nodded, turned around, and flew away quickly.

"Oh, Cui..."

Tu Shan Honghong watched Cui Yuling's departing figure, a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead.

"What's wrong? Why are you walking so fast..."

Glug glug...

Suddenly, Honghong's stomach started to protest. She remembered the lovingly prepared bento box from that morning, but feeling guilty, she didn't eat it...

"I'm a little hungry..."

Tu Shan Honghong subconsciously wanted to go back to Tu Shan, but after taking a step, she stopped and pursed her lips.

She felt ashamed to go back, even though she had already given up on Yuechu in her heart and chosen that dead little Taoist priest instead...

"Hehe, Fairy Sister~"

Tu Shan Honghong's pupils dilated, her tightly clenched hands slowly loosened, and she subconsciously turned her head quickly.

Dongfang Yuechu held up the heart-shaped bento box with both hands, giving her a very happy smile, but...

"Your teeth, and all these injuries on your face... what happened...?"

"No, it's nothing, it'll be fine after a little treatment."

"It's noon, Fairy Sister must be hungry. Today I ordered two extra free-range eggs that Fairy Sister loves. I even decorated them with fancy cuts. They're so cute! It took me half a day to make them. Fairy Sister, please eat up."

Seeing that Dongfang Yuechu had lost one of his front teeth, his face was covered in bruises, and he was using crutches, Honghong had already guessed who had done it.

Looking at the fragrant and appetizing meal that had been opened, she felt a sudden pang of sadness, her lips pressed tightly together, and her guilt reached its peak.

Why...

Honghong didn't understand, she really didn't understand. She, a fox demon, didn't deserve Xiaoyue's heartfelt kindness, even though she couldn't even tolerate his cute smile...

Tu Shan Honghong stretched out her hands, and her palms began to glow with green light. She gently cupped Dongfang Yuechu's face and began to treat him with a moved expression in her eyes.

Then he looked up slightly at Dongfang Haoyang, who was leaning against the semi-transparent portal with his arms crossed and a serious expression.

"Feel sorry……"

"Ah, never mind, I can't accept the King of Tushan's apology."

Clearly, Dongfang Haoyang still harbored resentment.

"Brother, Fairy Sister didn't do it on purpose."

Snapped!

A bright red handprint appeared on Dongfang Yuechu's face. Covering his cheek, Xiao Yuechu hid behind Tushan Honghong, looking at his brother with an innocent expression, neither daring to be angry nor daring to speak. (Cowardly)

Slowly lowering his rolled-up sleeves, Dongfang Haoyang sighed.

"This kid insists on coming to see you, or he'll threaten to commit suicide. He won't budge no matter what..."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Honghong glanced at Dongfang Yuechu's injured face, and the emotions in her eyes became even more complex. Shame almost overwhelmed her, and she increased the power of the healing spell in her hands.

"Heh, you've really gotten quite capable, Dongfang Yuechu!"

"Brother, brother, I was wrong... Waaah!" Dongfang Yuechu immediately knelt on the ground, then shrank behind Tushan Honghong, not daring to breathe.

Dongfang Haoyang glanced at Tushan Honghong, who was blocking Yuechu's figure, and sighed.

"Treat him well. You promised me, and I won't stop you from doing anything anymore. Take care of yourself."

Seeing Dongfang Haoyang turn around, he slowly walked into the teleportation portal.

"Um……"

Tu Shan Honghong gave a soft "hmm," then turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Dongfang Haoyang.

The main reason was that she felt extremely guilty. She had already signed the agreement and personally acknowledged that Dongfang Yuechu was her childhood sweetheart.
