The system always wants to send me to the heroine

How could this monster be so cowardly? He is as timid as my stupid fox!

Could it be that all fox monsters look like this?

Chapter 22 Humans and Monsters

Yan Luoqing's original intention was just to scare the monster to test its character. If the other party was willing to fight with her, that would be the best.

She would never take monsters lightly.

But now, it seems that there is no need for this.

This fox monster couldn't even stand up. All he kept saying was "my life is over, Xiangxiang, hurry up and leave". There was not even a little bit of fighting spirit in him.

Judging from the situation, if I ask more questions, I'm afraid this cowardly monster will be scared to death.

Yan Luoqing shook her head helplessly and sheathed the knife.

Yan Luoqing asked: "Are you Miss Xiang'er?"

When the girl heard the witch calling her like that, she sighed softly.

"My name is Qu Xiangxiang, you can just call me Xiangxiang, but the word Xiang'er is the nickname my neighbor's brother has given me since he was a child."

When Yan Luoqing heard this, she realized that when she asked casually just now, she had inadvertently sold her client's information to the woman in front of her, Xiangxiang.

This girl's mind works quickly, she doesn't look like she's been bewitched at all.

Yan Luoqing was extremely confident.

Sure enough, the young man couldn't get Miss Xiangxiang, so he wanted to get rid of his rival with his own hands. However, there is no need to tell the two of them about this.

She accepted the commission and would do her job well.

The three-tailed fox was still sitting on the ground with weak legs. Xiangxiang said in disgust while helping it up and brushing off the dust for it.

"Miss Xiangxiang, my name is Yan Luoqing, I am a witch in Jiangfeng County. I was entrusted by someone to come here to investigate the monster, but I will not kill innocent people by mistake, so please rest assured."

Yan Luoqing bowed slightly.

The three-tailed fox was still unable to come back to his senses, but when he saw Miss Xiangxiang's angry face, he was startled and hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Little demon, no, I am a three-tailed fox demon. I was named by Miss Xiangxiang, and now I am called Hu Qinghuai. I only admire and love Miss Xiangxiang, and I have absolutely no intention of harming her!"

"Bah, you, can you say such things in front of others?"

Xiangxiang spat, her face slightly reddened.

Just after explaining to Yan Luoqing, the girl got angry again, and the fox demon had to smile apologetically.

"Xiang Xiang, I, I am a demon, I don't understand these..."

Yan Luoqing nodded, but was slightly surprised in her heart.

The two of them, clearly one human and one demon, actually seem to want to be together.

But after all, humans and demons have different paths, different concepts, and secular perspectives, so the difficulties involved can be imagined.

Yan Luoqing opened her mouth to persuade him, but saw that Xiangxiang girl said with disdain, but still had her arm around the fox demon and helped him sit next to the Yaoqin.

Thinking back to what happened just now, the fox demon was clearly too frightened to stand up, yet he still expressed his concern for Miss Xiangxiang.

It was obvious that these two were in love with each other, so it was impossible to say any words of advice.

At Miss Xiangxiang's invitation, Yan Luoqing also sat down at the table and listened to Miss Xiangxiang's story of how they met.

The story is not strange, it is just a male version of the fox repaying a favor.

When Miss Xiangxiang was young, she once saved a fox that was wounded by a hunter's arrow. Unexpectedly, the fox was quite human-like and gave wild fruits from the mountains in return every day. This went on for several months, and Xiangxiang also accompanied the fox for several months.

Later, there was no news of it.

At that time, Xiangxiang thought that the fox had met with an accident. At the same time, two hunters in the village were missing on the mountain. Everyone in the village felt that a ferocious beast had come, so they dared not go up the mountain again.

A few years have passed, and Xiangxiang has long forgotten what happened, but she rescued the fox boy who was beaten black and blue at the entrance of the village.

Hearing this, the witch sister and I looked at it together, and we all found it incredible.

You know, even a little fox like me who hasn't transformed yet can't be subdued by ordinary humans, let alone a transformed three-tailed fox.

The fox lowered his head and said nothing. This matter was extremely embarrassing for him, so Xiangxiang had to continue explaining.

Firstly, the fox boy came to him to repay his kindness and had no intention of hurting anyone. He knew that the villagers had just misunderstood him. After all, he was a demon. Secondly, he had no feelings about killing. After his transformation, all his energy was focused on the lyre, so his martial arts skills were naturally not very good.

The third reason is that Mr. Fox is timid.

He was afraid of strangers because his parents died at the hands of hunters, leaving him with a shadow.

We already know what happened next. The fox demon lived in seclusion in the dilapidated temple in the back mountain. Xiangxiang visited it every day, and was eventually discovered by the boy next door. He went up the back mountain and followed Qinyin to find this place.

The fox demon finally calmed down at this time, and gently played the piano again. The sound of the piano was lingering and gentle, as if telling of her lovesickness and deep affection. It was an ancient song "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".

The sound of the piano was melodious and echoed in the valley. Yan Luoqing looked at the two of them, with many thoughts in her mind.

This monster is afraid of people, but he doesn't know how to be reserved. He can bravely pursue his feelings. This girl Xiangxiang is even more daring. She has a secret meeting with a fox monster here, which means she has already revealed her true feelings to him. Facing her own magic knife, this girl resolutely stands in front of the fox monster.

This courage far exceeds that of the fox demon.

Oh, they are not afraid of the many difficulties in this world, so why should I say too much? Maybe it is possible for humans and demons to be together.

Such a timid monster still dared to reveal his true feelings, but he was already inferior to some people.

"Hey, Sister Miko, what should we do next? Can we help them?"

The soft loli voice made Yan Luoqing smile slightly, and she hugged her own fox in her arms and caressed it.

"What are you going to do next? Excuse me, Mr. Fox, but you are not planning to let Xiangxiang and you sneak around in this dilapidated temple in the mountains, are you?"

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and Yan Luoqing's words just touched upon what was on his mind.

When I was still a fox, I was taken to live with Xiangxiang's home and saw Xiangxiang living with other humans.

Humans are social (gregarious) animals. Xiangxiang has been living in seclusion in the mountains with himself, which is naturally not a long-term solution, and he doesn't want to see Xiangxiang sad.

When he was feeling sad, his arm was hugged by the girl next to him.

"Don't think too much. If it can only be like this, I won't have any complaints, but, but..."

The fox demon knew clearly in her heart that Xiangxiang's family and relatives would never agree with what they were doing. Doing so would mean that Xiangxiang would break up with her family.

But as a demon, I really don’t know how to deal with these things.

"But, at least you should give it a try instead of shrinking back, right, Mr. Fox?"

Yan Luoqing smiled slightly, took over Xiangxiang's words, and pointed to the village at the foot of the mountain.

Chapter 23 Help

"Give it a try, yes, what do you mean?"

The fox demon raised his head and looked at Yan Luoqing with hopeful eyes.

"Of course I have to muster up the courage to express my feelings to the people down the mountain, seek their approval, and live openly with Miss Xiangxiang."

You have to be direct when talking to this stupid monster, Yan Luoqing said simply.

Xiangxiang and the fox demon were both stunned.

"This, this is impossible!"

The two of them said in unison.

This is impossible. Xiangxiang meant that the villagers would not accept a fox demon, while the fox demon meant that he himself did not dare to do so.

"If you don't try, how will you know if it works? At most you will just be kicked out, which is consistent with the current situation. If you don't show courage for Xiangxiang, how can you let Miss Xiangxiang know your true feelings?"

Yan Luoqing seemed to be touching the little fox in her arms, but her eyes were already faintly directed towards the fox demon.

"No, I know Mr. Fox..."

Xiangxiang was about to say something to defend Mr. Fox when Yan Luoqing turned around and interrupted her.

"Well, let me put it another way. I can guarantee that when you go down the mountain this time, as long as you muster up the courage to speak, there is a 50% chance of success. Is this 50% chance enough for you to muster up the courage for Miss Xiangxiang?"

"Yingying!" (Hurry up and give it a try!)

"Okay, since the witch has promised me this, I can't, I can't lose face in front of Xiangxiang. For Xiangxiang, I am willing to do anything!"

Without waiting for a response from the girl Xiangxiang beside him, he stood up and rushed down the mountain in one go.

"No, Mr. Fox, at least, come down the mountain with me!"

Xiangxiang was extremely worried, and without caring about anything else, she immediately followed the fox demon's footsteps.

Yan Luoqing looked at the backs of the two and nodded slightly.

"Wow, Sister Miko, will this really work? Can he really convince the villagers?"

I was a little worried, so I quickly sent a message to ask.

"Of course not. He will most likely be beaten up again when he goes down the mountain this time."

The elder witch shook her head. The grudge between humans and demons was not so easy to resolve.

"Well, then, why should we let him go?"

"Because you begged me to help him, right, little Lizhi?"

The witch sister reached out and picked me up, leaned over to my big ear and whispered.

We are like this, like this, like this...

It suddenly dawned on me.

"Oh, this is still not right. What if, what if he runs away, or his legs are weak and he can't stand up again?"

"Xiao Lizhi, this is helping him, but it is also a test for him. If his feelings for Miss Xiangxiang are not firm enough, how can the two of them be together?"

I nodded. Although I didn't quite understand, I still pretended to understand.

But I didn't know that the witch sister actually never had a good impression of monsters, even a kind monster like Hu Qinghuai.

But this time, she really wanted to help them.

The reason is simple. This fox demon is full of shortcomings and is timid and cowardly. As a man, he needs a girl to protect him. He completely lacks the courage that a man should have.

But the strange thing was that he inexplicably confirmed what she wanted in her heart.

Perhaps, the person I like in my heart should also be such a timid and cute person.

However, how can a grown man be liked if he is so weak and vulnerable?

Perhaps, this is the reason why I have not yet made up my mind to be with my junior brother.

Otherwise, why would I wait so long for him to reveal his true feelings to me? Or, if he did, would I agree to marry him?

She didn't know, so she kept waiting.

On the other hand, this fox demon's feelings for Xiangxiang are undoubtedly sincere. The melodious sound of the piano cannot deceive her, so she decides to call Yan Luoqing to help them.

Watching them go through this relationship is also watching myself, confirming what I think, and whether I can be as happy as them.

At that time, I should also consider whether I should make up my mind and take a step forward myself.

"Let's go little guy, we have to hurry up for the last step."

Putting the little guy in her arms on her shoulders, Yan Luoqing hurried over.

As for Hu Qinghuai, with the courage given by Yan Luoqing, he rushed straight into the village, smiled, tried hard to suppress his uneasiness, and greeted the villagers.

"The monster is coming, the monster is coming to eat people!"

Several farmers at the entrance of the village were so frightened that they turned around and ran away on the spot.

The fox demon was so frightened that he hadn't yet figured out whether he should continue looking for someone or go back to discuss with Xiangxiang. After hesitating for a while, he saw more than a dozen farmers holding hoes rushing out.

"No, no, I'm not, I don't want to eat anyone..."

As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second weakens and the third is exhausted. He had almost used up all his courage just now when talking to people, and now facing the villagers, he was trembling and almost fell down.

Seeing that the monster was weak, everyone became bolder. Several big men stepped out of the crowd and tried to hit it with hoes.

"stop!"

Xiangxiang ran out of breath, but finally caught up. Seeing that the fox demon was about to suffer, she didn't even bother to catch her breath and stood in front of him.

"Xiang'er, you, you have really been bewitched by him, come back soon, come here quickly!"

The young man who had been to the shrine before was also in the crowd. He recognized Xiangxiang at a glance. Although he shouted anxiously, he did not dare to step forward.
