The system always wants to send me to the heroine

Looking at Hu Qinghuai on the ground again, his body slowly shrank and turned into a red fox. He closed his eyes and curled up.

"How is it, Mr. Fox, is he..."

Xiangxiang's voice trembled, fearing that she would hear the news she least wanted to hear.

"The Demon-Breaking Arrow is too powerful. I can only save his life temporarily. It depends on whether he can wake up. If he wakes up, all his power will be lost and he will turn into an ordinary fox. If he can't wake up, then..."

Yan Luoqing shook her head and just sighed.

Xiangxiang hugged the orange fox and shed tears in a daze.

She could never have imagined that the fox boy, who had just been happily snuggling with her, would end up like this in the blink of an eye.

"Don't you have anything else to say, Long Aotian?"

Yan Luoqing asked coldly.

Long Aotian, who was standing quietly aside, lowered his head and bit his lips lightly, like a child who had made a mistake. He was silent for a few seconds, but then returned to his usual indifference.

"My mission is to eliminate demons and protect the people."

"If that's the case, do you want to kill my lychees as well?"

Yan Luoqing said coldly.

"Senior Sister, this fox demon is different. I, the Demon Slayer Guard, have a secret method to identify it. It has at least killed two people."

Long Aotian's eyes were firm, and he was not shaken at all by what had just happened.

This was his plan. His senior sister's biological mother also died at the hands of a monster. He thought that if he answered like this, she would hate such an evil monster that killed people as much as he did.

That way, you won't blame yourself.

"Sir, I have a question for you. If a bad guy breaks into your home and kills your parents, will you avenge them?"

A beautiful female voice was heard. Xiangxiang, who was holding the red fox, had tears in her eyes. Her voice was extremely clear.

"Of course, the hatred for my parents is irreconcilable and must be avenged."

Long Aotian frowned slightly. He had no father or mother, so this question was really annoying, but he still nodded patiently.

"What crime did that young master Fox commit? Two hunters went up the mountain to hunt and killed the whole family of young master Fox. He was the only one who escaped by chance and was saved by me. How could he not take revenge for such a great vengeance after he has achieved success in his cultivation?"

Xiangxiang asked with her head down, thinking that Mr. Fox was extremely timid, and God knew how he could have done that to him, so that he dared to come to find her after being missing for several years. Tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

Long Aotian became more and more impatient.

If it were his original cold personality, he would not bother to answer the villagers who questioned him.

But at this moment his senior sister was also listening, so he had to reply.

"What I protect is the safety of people. It is common for a hunter to kill a family of foxes while hunting. There is no crime in it. Human life is more important than anything else. That's what I mean."

Long Aotian said coldly.

"Haha, haha, what a great example of a person's life being as important as heaven, what a two-way standard! It turns out that even a kind-hearted demon like Qing Huai is still worthless in the eyes of the official!"

Xiangxiang looked up to the sky and laughed, her laugh was sad and painful.

This voice, without missing a word, penetrated into Yan Luoqing's heart, like an epiphany.

Yes, indeed.

No wonder, no wonder, she felt that she had a good impression of her junior brother and had planned to entrust her life to him. His junior brother was definitely the most satisfactory man she had ever met. They also had feelings for each other and there should be no barriers between them at all.

But in the end, there was a trace of concern in my heart, and I didn't know where it came from.

For this reason, she had hoped that her junior fellow apprentice would take a step towards her first, so that she could ask her own heart, and maybe the answer would be found.

She also hoped to see how this perfect couple, a man and a demon, could live happily together to prove her own feelings.

Long Aotian shot the fox demon brutally without asking any questions, which magnified his concerns infinitely. At the same time, as Xiangxiang laughed desperately, she finally discovered the reason.

My junior fellow apprentice has been a demon-slaying guard for more than ten years, but he is no longer the young man who grew up practicing martial arts with me.

Just as Xiangxiang said, human life is more important than anything else, while monsters are like grass. This last sentence is probably what Long Aotian really thinks.

This is a change in his concept. He had always hated the demon clan, but when he slew the demon guards, he completely released his true nature and threw the teachings of the shrine out of his mind.

Thinking about it this way, when Long Aotian shot the arrow from a distance, he didn't have any time to determine whether the other party had hurt anyone.

Therefore, his subsequent defense of himself, the excuses of eliminating demons and protecting the people and of killing people, further revealed his true intentions.

This is a change in his character. He is no longer the simple and innocent child he used to be.

Chapter 26: Seeking a Title

Xiangxiang walked away in a daze, holding Hu Qinghuai.

She was just an ordinary woman, unable to take revenge on an official who was highly skilled in martial arts and often fought against monsters.

Now, as she had wished before, she could live with Qinghuai in front of people and in the village.

However, Qinghuai could no longer play the piano for her and let her see his cowardly and ridiculous appearance.

All he left for himself was a zither with all seven strings broken.

She only hoped that Mr. Fox would wake up as soon as possible, so that they, the man and the fox, could live a peaceful and stable life in this small mountain village.

Xiangxiang left and Yan Luoqing remained silent. Although she was secretly angry, there was no way in the world to punish Long Aotian, and she didn't want to scold him for his mistakes.

People will change, and demons can be good or evil. The idea of ​​supporting the good and punishing the evil only exists in the lineage of witches.

Since ancient times, shrine maidens have been both enemies and friends of demons. The kind-hearted demon shrine maidens will naturally treat them well, and some will even take them in as shikigami and keep them by their side.

Just like her little lychee eggs, which were left for her by her mother.

At first, her mother died at the hands of a great demon, and she, like Long Aotian, hated the demon clan immensely, but as time passed, she had long since let go of the grudge in her heart.

Not only did she raise the silly and cute Litchi, but today she also witnessed the forbidden love between a human and a demon. Yan Luoqing became more and more certain of her belief.

Of course, there are good and evil monsters, just like humans, there are good and evil monsters.

Look at her little lychee, isn’t it lying obediently on her shoulder?

I don’t know whether it’s because it’s afraid of Long Aotian or sad about what happened to its fellow tribesmen, it has shrunk itself into a furry ball, trying to reduce its presence.

Think about it, the Inari god worshipped by the shrine maidens in the past was even a fox demon who became a god, and yet it can bless humans with a good harvest.

Although Inari God eventually changed his temperament and sought sacrifices, we will not talk about that for now.

The court and the witch goddess shrine have completely different ideas. Thousands of years ago, monsters were causing chaos and the king of monsters was born. He led the monster clan to kill humans wantonly. Wherever he went, no one was left alive. Therefore, the court regarded the monster clan as a great harm, and then Daliang decided to destroy the monsters.

Even today, there are still demon-slaying guards like Long Aotian.

However, monsters will always be alive and well. Unless humans are the only animal species left in this world, all living things have spirits. Although it is difficult to cultivate into a monster, there are many successful ones throughout the world.

Come to think of it, my junior brother Long Aotian now eats government food and has spent many years hunting monsters with his colleagues. How can I expect him to share the same ideas as me?

His parents and master were all killed by the demons, and even he himself almost died at the hands of the demons. It is indeed difficult for him to let go.

He is my junior fellow apprentice and the person I am closest to, so of course I can understand his thoughts.

But I will never forgive him for what he did today.

Yan Luoqing looked at Long Aotian with complicated eyes, flicked her sleeves, turned around and left.

Long Aotian stretched out his hand and subconsciously wanted to catch up, but after taking two steps, he stopped again.

He can't chase.

He knew his senior sister too well. She was angry at the moment and nothing he said would calm her down. Even if he chased after her, it would be useless and would only make her upset.

The best thing is to let her walk alone until she calms down. After a few days, you can buy her a gift and find a clumsy way to apologize to her in a stumbling way.

In this way, I will surely be able to coax the angry senior sister back.

After all, he had already told her the reason for killing the fox demon. Long Aotian believed that his senior sister would understand and thus understand him.

"Ayo!"

Long Aotian suddenly couldn't help but scream out.

How could he forget that he had a mission to accomplish and was supposed to get rid of the monster and leave in a hurry, but when he saw his senior sister, he forgot everything.

After hearing what his senior sister said about the strange mountain fog last time, he reported it to his superiors, who took it very seriously.

Soon, a new alien space was discovered.

For this matter, all the leaders of the Demon-Slaying Guards in the entire Jiangning Prefecture were mobilized, and finally the guards successfully broke the seal and entered the different space.

Unexpectedly, there was an ancient monster sealed in that different space, and it was awakened by them.

It was inexplicably intelligent and could change into a myriad of forms, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Yet, it actually managed to escape from the guards' hands.

The Jiangning Prefecture issued an order requiring the demon-slaying guards in each county to step up their vigilance, find and kill the demon, and he, Long Aotian, was on his way back.

Thinking of this, he didn't know how many arrangements were waiting for him. Long Aotian could not delay any longer and galloped towards Jiang Feng on his horse.

~~~~~~

Everything was done. After having dinner at the post station beside the official road, my sister the witch and I were on our way home.

It was already late at night, but the witch sister was not in a hurry and continued to walk back slowly step by step.

I huddled against her like a fox, feeling extremely sad.

Wow, I originally wanted to talk more with Hu Qinghuai. Maybe my cultivation still needs him to impart his experience to me.

And his piano skills are one of the secrets to pleasing girls. I really want to learn it and use it to tease the witch.

Long Aotian was so hateful. He killed the monster without any reason.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that Sister Witch was by my side when I hatched from my shell. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have been killed by Long Aotian on the spot?

He did press the sword at that time. It turned out that I had already walked through the gates of hell!

Woohoo, good, so scary!

Fortunately, Sister Witch is not someone like Long Aotian.

Well, it was the witch sister who protected me. I must repay her!

My mind was in a mess, and I suddenly felt that the witch sister seemed to have stopped.

"Uh, what's the matter?"

The witch sister smiled slightly and pointed ahead on the road.

The moon was high in the sky at this time, and my sister the witch and I were the only ones on the road.

The official road was blocked right in the middle.

A cute weasel was standing in the middle of the road, wearing a bamboo hat and clothes that were several times larger than those for humans, most of which were propped up on the ground. It looked very funny.

"My fellow countryman, do you think I look like a human or a fairy?"

The weasel suddenly spoke in human language and asked urgently, his voice clear and shrill.

"What is it doing?"

I asked curiously.

"Don't worry, little Litchi. It has no ill intentions. People call this Huang Daxian's request for a title. It is a ritual that his clan must go through to transform. It stops passersby. If the passerby answers that it looks like a human, it will immediately transform into a human. If the answer is that it looks like an immortal, it will immediately transform and its demonic power will increase dramatically. However, if the other party answers casually or even insults it, it will fail to transform and its demonic power will decline. It will have to practice again."

The witch sister explained that this could be considered an example of humans and demons helping each other.

Chapter 27 Getting into Trouble

"Of course, there are other considerations. If the person being questioned gives a random answer or insults, causing the weasel demon to fail to transform, it will retaliate, and the cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, clothes and food in the house will most likely be clean. If the person answers like an immortal, its demonic power will increase greatly, and the person who answers will have to bear the consequences. The mortal's life span will be greatly reduced, and he will often die soon."

The elder sister's words made the little weasel demon not far away blink a few times, feeling a little uneasy, but the ceremony had already begun and it couldn't just give up.

"So, what if it looks like a human?"

"Well, this is the best answer. A demon that can perform this ritual has the ability to transform. Giving it a helping hand is a natural outcome. It can successfully transform, and humans will not have any karma added to their bodies. Maybe they can even get a reward from the weasel. It's the best of both worlds."

I nodded, feeling quite tempted.

Wow, it’s pretty much the same as what I heard online.

Unfortunately, what I heard was too outrageous, and the witch sister would definitely not be able to endure it.

For example, some people say that she looks like a 148cm tall golden-haired flat-chested tsundere animal-eared loli!

I think you look like a 17-year-old JK with gray hair, white stockings and animal ears!

Or, I think you look like my girlfriend!
