I'm a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

Is she old?

Or something else, like...

For example, the three little ones are becoming more and more like Philomena.

Shaking his head to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts, Jiang Lan smiled again and left with his two daughters and Alice, his half-daughter.

Watching Jiang Lan and her family disappear at the end of the road, she came back to her senses belatedly, but what she saw was still Mona's smiles and frowns that disturbed her heart. She silently stretched out her hands behind her back, still holding Mona's beige sweater tightly in her hands.

Next time I see you, please wash it clean and return it to the owner.

To use the words in the Sage's novel, this is an important item in the route to unlock the love event. Thinking about it this way, the more precious it feels in my hand.

Staring at the object in her hand, the person she missed was gone but the warmth and fragrance were still there. As if possessed by a magic spell, Hollyanna put it to her nose and sniffed it.

stare----

Noticing the piercing gaze from the side, Hao Lianna couldn't help but cough twice to cover up her embarrassment.

"abnormal."

After hearing the unexpected words, she turned to meet Ellie's sharp, wide eyes. There was no longer any contempt in her eyes, but excessive seriousness.

"Are you not pretending anymore?" He was so timid just now, but now he dared to speak to a great noble like her like this. Sure enough, her guess was correct.

"You've already guessed it, so there's no point in me pretending."

It took a lot of strength for Hao Lianna to help her up just now. If it were an ordinary person, his wrist would have been broken by now.

Holding her aching wrist, Ellie sneered coldly.

"Where did you find out?"

"When Yazi lifted your sleeve to check your injury."

Yazi's judgment was not wrong at that time. The force with which Jones pinched Ellie's wrist was enough to turn the wrist of an ordinary girl blue and red, but when he opened it, it was white and flawless. At that time, Hollyanna became suspicious, and then he poured ice water on her just now and smashed the cake on her clothes for the second time, which made her completely certain.

The collision was not a coincidence, but a carefully planned inevitability. The child had a way of hiding his presence, and even twice he approached her only to the last inch of distance before appearing in her perception. Although it was partly due to the fact that she was not nervous, it was not a method that ordinary people could possess.

The first time she approached Ako, and the second time she approached Mona. Even when she apologized just now, she must have been so loud because she noticed Ako approaching. And if you think about it more carefully, it is possible that Ako's knowledge of Mona's whereabouts was also Ellie's doing.

This child is not a weak magician as she appears to be, but a terrifying assassin who hides fangs behind a confused appearance and a meticulous mind.

Facing her directly at this moment, the faint feeling of palpitations made Haoliana doubt whether she could defeat this child if she faced the enemy head-on. Looking at Ellie's hand retracted into her sleeve, Haoliana felt more and more uneasy.

Was it an assassin who approached her on purpose? Or...

"Don't worry, my target is Mona. You're just a bit of a hindrance, so I wanted to get rid of you as soon as possible, but unfortunately Mona stopped Ako."

At the beginning, her target was Ako, but after getting to know her, she found that Mona was more to her taste.

Hearing the name she cared about, Haoliana couldn't help but tighten her grip on the sword.

Mona gave a malicious smile to this.

"Is that so? Are we going to start a love war? Even if my opponent is the red-flaming phoenix, I won't be scared. After all, she's the one who supplies my desserts."

"Huh?" With an inappropriate exclamation, Hollyanna sprained her waist after hearing the overly unexpected answer.

"Didn't Mona tell you? She's going to support me."

"that is it?"

"Oh, guess~"

How could an intruder like you possibly guess the inseparable bond between me, Yazi, Mona, Lilith, and Jiang Lan's family?

#This is a war between hamsters and dogs! #

117. Dual cultivation is impossible

The flowers are blooming and pedunculated, with one branch on each side.

Over there, Hao Lianna and Ellie were confronting each other, and here, Jiang Lan and the others also mentioned Ellie in their casual chat.

"Ellie is super cute, but she's too confused. Not to mention tripping while walking, she also falls flat on the ground. She's super cute, just like a hamster. Next time I'm going to try buying her pine cones to eat. Will she make a 'squeak' sound?"

Being held by Azi, Mona excitedly told the story of Ellie. It can be seen from the look in her eyes that she quite likes this child whom she just met not long ago.

It's understandable that Rabbit, who has always been protected, would feel concerned when he encounters the weaker hamster.

But it remains to be seen whether the child is a hamster.

"Sister Lan, is there anything you're concerned about?" Alice asked, noticing that Jiang Lan looked thoughtful.

Generally speaking, magicians use their mental power to communicate with the free elements in the air. What makes them strong is the tenacity of their spirits. Other powers contained in their bodies are very few. Warriors, however, are different. Although they also practice by absorbing elements in essence, their method is to take the elements into the body to form qi and then let it flow in the body. They do not attract the elements when they activate their energy, but rely entirely on their own accumulated strength. Accordingly, the recovery speed of warriors is much slower than that of magicians.

To put it more simply, it would not be wrong to understand it as the internal force in martial arts novels, where the qi flows in the meridians, and it becomes stronger after running a certain number of cycles.

Of course, this is a general statement, and Ellie's words...

"That child is a little special. Her mental strength is stronger than warriors of the same level. She appears to be a magician, but I can see that there is still Qi flowing in her body."

Moreover, his strength in Qi is much stronger than his magic. His magic is only at the second level, but his Qi has reached a level similar to that of Yazi.

"So that means that the child is practicing both magic and martial arts? That's really weird." Pinching her chin, Alice seemed to have discovered something unusual.

"What's so weird about this? Isn't it normal to practice both magic and martial arts?"

As she spoke, Yazi signaled Alice with her eyes to look at Jiang Lan, full of pride.

Let me tell you, my mom is super brave!

Hearing this, Alice couldn't help but roll her eyes. That's why I said you lack common sense.

No, it's more like I've been in contact with uncommon people for too long, so I think uncommon things are common sense.

"If it's not weird, Yazi, you should also try to learn magic. It's not like you don't have the aptitude for magic."

As for Yazi, she also has an outstanding talent in magic, but she prefers physical and mental martial arts, so she chose the path of a warrior.

Just to tell you a joke, if Yazi had practiced magic, she might have become a saint by now.

"Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it."

Ever since she practiced Qi, it was as if a wall had been built between her and the elements, and she could no longer stir up the elements no matter what she did.

That is the [Magic and Martial Arts Barrier]. Whoever practices one must say goodbye to the other.

"No one else can do it. You think it's possible only because Sister Lan is too extraordinary. Let me reveal some confidential information to you. My intelligence department, the MI7, the most powerful intelligence agency in the empire, has identified Sister Lan as the incarnation of a sacred beast."

"Huh? Holy beast or something? Even though I'm a fox girl, I can't turn into a fox."

"Who knows? Sister Lan just likes to lie."

Although she said that, Alice knew that Sister Lan was not lying. After being with her for many years, she could clearly tell whether Jiang Lan was lying from her behavior.

Emmmm, this fox girl is so stupid that her tail sticks up when she lies.

When Jiang Lan denied it just now, her ears stood up, which was proof that she was a little angry. It seemed that being treated as a sacred beast made her angry. Sister Lan still cared a lot about her identity as an orc.

However, compared to caring about the Orcs, what is more curious is that the Orcs themselves are more interesting. According to another report from the intelligence department, Sister Lan does not consider herself an Orc, but a human.

And now, due to the existence of the [Magic Martial Sky Wall], humanoid creatures, humans, demons, sub-humans, orcs, and elves are all unable to practice dual cultivation, so the possibility that Jiang Lan is an orc is very small.

In addition, as orcs and humans are mixed race, their offspring will definitely have orc characteristics, but if it is a sacred beast, then it is entirely possible to hide it. In this way, it is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Lan is actually a sacred beast.

But now that Jiang Lan has such a reaction, the conclusion leans towards another possibility - being a sacred beast, it has no awareness of being a sacred beast at all.

Non-staff hero! Inexplicably, Alice thought of this report. Twenty years ago, Jiang Lan was indeed active as a member of the Hero Team, but he was not a hero recommended by the major forces. Instead, he joined the team midway. His identity, name, and age were unknown. Except for his appearance, everything else was unknown.

However, this is much better than the other two non-staff heroes. Nothing is known about the other two, and their true identities have not been confirmed until now. The only two Dawn Sages who knew their true identities also died eight years ago.

It can be said that up to now, the only one who knows the existence of the other two heroes is the fox Jiang Lan.

However, once when she was taking Jiang Lan for a tour in the palace, she said that she did not recognize the people hanging on the wall. It was obvious that those were heroes whose true identities had been revealed. What was even more surprising was that Jiang Lan could not even recognize the Sage of Dawn who had helped her a lot before his death.

So, there is only one answer!

A hero who lost his past? She smiled with interest. Sure enough, Jiang Lan was exactly the interesting thing she was looking for.

Flashing back from the memory, Alice saw Sister Lan puffing up her face and knew that she was going to say something like "I didn't lie." Not wanting to hear such a weak rebuttal, she changed the subject.

"If he practices both magic and martial arts, then is the child a sacred beast or something like that?" Similar to Sister Lan.

[So it's either a magic and martial arts master or a sacred beast!] Jiang Lan conveyed this to Alice with his eyes and answered her question.

"It's impossible. She is too weak and her Qi is very unstable. There is another thing worth noting. Her Qi is in reverse."

"Is it a one-time Qi cultivated using a special method?"

"One time?" Yazi continued.

"After practicing magic, some people with special physiques can use special and rare techniques to cultivate qi that can only be used once. Not only that, but many disadvantages will also arise from this."

“I feel so bad.”

"That's true, but because all the energy in the body is released at once, it often has unimaginable destructive power, probably to the extent that the level of energy is raised to a higher level."

After a pause, Alice chose not to say the rest.

Because it is a retrograde flow of qi, it will cause a great burden on the body, which means that the child will suffer pain that is unbearable for ordinary people all year round. Now I think about it, the child has always been confused. Maybe he is not really confused, but because it is too painful and it is difficult to pay attention to what is happening around him, which makes people feel stupid and cute.

But in fact, if a child has poor talent and practices this kind of one-time martial arts that harms himself ten thousand times and injures the enemy eight hundred times, there must be someone that the child is willing to kill at the risk of his life.

So, who did she want to kill by approaching deliberately?

She? Hollyanna? Gwendolyn? Or was it one of Azi and Lilith?

It was gradually becoming interesting, and the corners of Alice's lips curled up in an amusing arc.

Sa, let me appreciate the hidden roar in your heart, Ellie!

#In the heart of the hamster lies the roar of a tiger#

ps: When I write about dual cultivation, it always reminds me of some embarrassing things 23333~

118. Please fulfill my mother's perverted fantasy

After talking about Ellie, the topic naturally turned to Hollyanna.

"Did I help you with emergency treatment and fix your wound with ribbon? In this case, could that guy be a good person?" Yazi muttered with an embarrassed expression.

In the two confrontations, no matter how dumb she was, she could probably detect the kind nature of Hollyanna.
