Chapter 645: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 17
Thanks to the timely rescue, although Hu Meiniang had most of her fur burned off, those were only external injuries and did not hurt her internal organs. She was just completely disfigured after her transformation.
This may not be a big deal for other monsters, but for a vixen like Hu Meiniang who values beauty more than anything else, it is far more serious than killing her entire family.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, I want to tear her apart, I want to tear her apart!"
Hu Meiniang threw away the mirror and smashed everything she could see. Seeing Hu Siniang standing by to heal her wounds, Hu Meiniang knelt on the ground with a snap, hugged Hu Siniang's legs and began to cry and beg, "Please, ancestor, avenge me, please!"
Hu Si Niang's eyes were full of solemnity. She had not expected that the immortal spirit they had been looking for for so long was actually so powerful. It forced the four monsters back in one encounter. Although everyone's injuries were only superficial, it was already very scary.
Hu Meiniang is the most talented youngster in the Hu family since Hu Si Niang, and is also the next fox ancestor who has the greatest hope of surpassing Hu Si Niang and attaining a higher level of cultivation. Seeing her beloved youngster being harmed by Ruyi and becoming so ugly now, Hu Si Niang is naturally filled with resentment.
But she knew very well that Ruyi's power was obvious to her, and Hu Si Niang was really not sure that she could help Hu Meiniang get revenge.
Mr. Bai and Mrs. Huang did not leave either. They sat at the table with gloomy faces, thinking about the next countermeasures. "Young man of the Hu family, tell me what Hu Liuniang told you before. I want to hear if I can find out anything about the characteristics of the fairy from it."
"Yes, Ancestor Huang." Although Hu Meiniang was disappointed that her ancestor did not agree to her request, she still answered honestly when she heard Old Lady Huang's question.
After listening to Hu Meiniang's detailed story, Old Lady Huang quickly discovered the key point. She asked again to confirm, "Young man of the Hu family, you just said that Hu Liuniang and the little monsters that came after her were burned to ashes by a burst of golden light without even touching that woman?"
"Yes, Liu Niang did say so. Later, I saw with my own eyes that the little monsters who entered that room were burned to ashes by the golden light."
"Old Lady Huang, what's wrong? Have you discovered something wrong?" Old Master Bai didn't hear anything wrong. "Could it be that the woman has some powerful magic weapon hidden in her hand?"
"No, it's not a magic weapon." Old Lady Huang is the oldest among the monsters present, so her knowledge is naturally much greater than that of Hu Siniang and the others.
"Once upon a time, my Huang family had a Huang Daxian who became an immortal by asking for a title. You should all have heard of it. If my Huang family wants to cultivate to become a human or an immortal, they must go through the process of 'asking for a title'."
"Asking for a title is actually about finding people with good deeds, and using the name of asking for a title to get promises from them. If they say they look like a human, then they will become a human. If they say they look like an immortal, then they will become an immortal."
"It is not difficult to become an adult. You only need a little merit. But if you want to become an immortal, you must have a person with great merit to personally transfer the merit."
"But what does this have to do with that woman?" Mr. Bai still couldn't figure out what was going on and was so anxious that he couldn't help but interrupt Mrs. Huang.
Hu Siniang seemed to understand something, and immediately asked Old Lady Huang to confirm: "Sister Huang, do you mean that the golden light on that woman is the light of merit?"
Old Lady Huang nodded seriously: "Yes, it is the golden light of merit."
"Golden light of merit?" Hu Meiniang had never heard of it before and was completely confused.
Old Master Bai has lived longer and had heard of this saying when he was young. However, in recent years, due to the corruption of the imperial court, the chaos in the underworld, the disorder in the heaven, and the rampant demons, Old Master Bai has not seen anyone with merits for a long time.
"In this world where humans eat humans and demons eat humans, apart from those monks who are not afraid of death, where can there be any people with merits?" Old Master Bai didn't believe it.
Old Lady Huang didn't want to believe it either, but after thinking about it, she realized that there was no other possibility except the light of virtue, so she explained: "We monsters are naturally susceptible to the influence of abnormal spiritual energy, and are naturally restrained by virtue, spiritual energy, and righteousness. Among them, only the light of virtue is golden, and it will directly harm the monster body."
Seeing that Old Lady Huang was so sure, the other three demons could only accept this statement and then asked, "Doesn't that mean we can't deal with that woman?"
"No," Mrs. Huang shook her head, "I brought this up just to deal with that woman."
"That woman's bone age is no more than a hundred years old. The reason why she can have such a high level of cultivation must be related to the merits in her body. As long as we use the 7749 souls of wronged death to cast a spell, we can break her merits. Then, hmph!"
Old Lady Huang raised her head proudly when she said this, "When the time comes, we will eat you up. I guarantee that not even a bone will be left!"
"Hahahahahaha, not bad, Sister Huang is right."
"Hmph, let's keep that woman for a few more days while we prepare the souls of the dead. Young man from the Hu family, send your little monsters to keep a close eye on that woman. Don't let her leave Guobei County. Got it?"
"Yes." Hu Meiniang grinned grimly when she thought about being able to tear Ruyi's face apart.
After Ruyi forced the four monsters to retreat, he waited for a while to make sure that they would not attack again before closing the window and going back to rest with peace of mind.
The next morning, before Ruyi even left the house, the innkeeper and the waiter came to find her. They came mainly because of what happened last night.
"Sir, this, that, we..."
"Boss, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. I can't understand you if you keep hemming and hawing."
"Alas!" The boss looked guilty, took a deep breath and said quickly: "Sir, the people living in this inn are ordinary people, and we can't stand the monsters coming to our door, so..."
Now Ruyi understood everything completely. It turned out that although the people in the inn closed the door early last night according to Ruyi's advice, they definitely heard the terrifying and strange wind and the monster's words at night. Knowing that the monsters came here specifically because of Ruyi, the boss, no matter how greedy for money, would not dare to let Ruyi continue to live here.
Ruyi thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. She was not angry. "Okay, boss, what you said is not wrong. In this case, I will go back to my room to pack my things and you can pay the rent."
"Haha, this room fee will be my compensation. You don't have to pay it." The boss was afraid of making Ruyi angry and smashing his inn. You know, Ruyi is a man who can face immortal monsters.
Since the boss said so, Ruyi was too lazy to argue. She went back to the house, put away the plants by the window and door, and left. She did not leave Guobei County, but found an empty temple in the county to live in. After all, not only the four monsters were greedy for Ruyi's body, but Ruyi was also greedy for the reward for killing them.
Hu Meiniang called a lot of little monsters from Qingshan Mountain into Guobei City to stare at Ruyi. Ruyi spent most of his time practicing, and once he got tired of practicing, he would kill these little monsters to replenish his energy.
Hu Meiniang watched the little monsters she had sent disappear one by one, and felt that Ruyi's immortal face looked like a devil that eats monsters. She felt resentful but also scared.
"Old Ancestor, I don't know how long it will take to collect the souls of the wrongly dead. If this continues, I feel that all the little monsters will be killed by that woman!"
