RI Chapter 54

The next morning, Lei Yun was in the shop organizing herbs when a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Lei Yun thought, could it be Chen Jing and Yue Chan? Why would they come at this time?

The Blood Gu matter was not yet over, and Yue Chan had not returned to Miao Jiang.

Since Yue Chan arrived, she had been staying with Chen Jing, and in the evenings, she helped Lei Yun with his affairs.

“Coming!” Lei Yun washed his hands and went to open the door.

The knocking became more urgent, thump, thump, thump. Lei Yun opened the door, and a person fell in.

Lei Yun was startled and quickly helped her up. Judging by her figure, it was a woman, completely covered in dirt. Just as Lei Yun helped her inside, she immediately transformed into a white fox.

Lei Yun was greatly surprised. He examined the fox’s face and realized it was Hu Xiaoling from before. But why would she come here?

He immediately placed Hu Xiaoling on the table and looked her over, discovering that her demon core was missing.

The demon core is the demon’s vital essence. Once lost, the demon will become like an ordinary animal. If this Hu Xiaoling didn’t have profound cultivation and pure blood, she probably wouldn’t have been able to run to the inn for help.

At that moment, Yue Chan skipped happily into the inn. She was about to speak when she saw the fox on the table.

“Why is there a fox here, and so dirty?”

Lei Yun said, “You’ve come at the right time. Can you help me give her a bath?” Lei Yun suddenly remembered the girl’s behavior and added, “This isn’t an ordinary fox. It’s Hu Xiaoling from the fox clan. I’ve met her before. You wash her first, I’ll make a phone call.”

With that, Lei Yun turned and walked behind the counter. Yue Chan, seeing this, pouted heavily and carried Hu Xiaoling to the front yard.

On a certain beach, Hu Lanlan was lying on a lounge chair, basking in the sun. Her snow-white skin and purple bikini accentuated her enchanting beauty.

She lazily answered the phone, “Hello~”

Lei Yun, hearing the captivating voice, couldn’t help but shudder. He slowly said, “Lanlan, it’s me, Lei Yun.”

The person on the other end chuckled and said, “Manager Lei, what do you need from me? Could it be that you miss me?”

These words made the man beside Hu Lanlan very unhappy. Hu Lanlan, seeing this, gave him a charming smile, and the man’s expression improved slightly.

Lei Yun pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Yes, it is.”

“What’s wrong?” Hu Lanlan, sensing that Lei Yun’s tone was off, immediately asked him.

“Hu Xiaoling’s demon core is gone. She’s at the inn now. I need to quickly find someone to take her away.”

“What?” This made Hu Lanlan jump up from the lounge chair in shock. Everyone around her looked at her in confusion. The man beside her considerately helped her up.

Hu Lanlan brushed away the woman’s hand and walked to a quiet place to continue, “How is Hu Xiaoling now?”

“How is she? She’s like a stray animal who fell into the water when she got here.”

Hu Lanlan frowned and said quickly, “Okay, you let Hu Jingxue come find me now.”

After hanging up, Hu Lanlan looked around to make sure no one was there and immediately cast a spell, burning a talisman. A female figure appeared in front of her, this person was Hu Jingxue.

“What do you need me for?” Hu Jingxue was very free recently and didn’t have time to pay attention to Hu Lanlan at all.

“Hmph, do you think I want to find you? I’m asking you, where is that little fox from last time?”

Hu Jingxue was stunned. Hu Xiaoling ran away not long after returning to the fox clan and hasn’t been seen since. The fox clan has sent people to look for her, but there hasn’t been any news.

“You know where she is?” Hu Jingxue immediately asked.

“Of course, she even called me.”

“She’s at Changsheng Inn. Lei Yun said her demon core is gone, hurry up and go.”

Hu Xiaoling’s demon core is gone, this surprised Hu Jingxue, her face full of astonishment. In an instant, she disappeared in front of Hu Lanlan.

“Hey, not even a goodbye, that woman really!” Hu Lanlan awkwardly turned and left.

Outside the inn, Yue Chan had already placed the cleaned Hu Xiaoling under the table. Lei Yun fed her some vitality-restoring herbs, and she slowly woke up.

Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked pitifully at Lei Yun, who sighed.

“How did I become like this?”

Without her demon core, Hu Xiaoling couldn’t transform into human form or speak. She could only write on the table with a water-soaked paw.

Lei Yun and Yue Chan looked at the crooked words and could barely make them out.

“Qi Ming?” Lei Yun asked doubtfully.

Hu Xiaoling nodded vigorously, tears rolling down her eyes like pearls. Yue Chan, seeing this, gently stroked her head.

“Deceived, Daoist.” This was what Hu Xiaoling wrote next.

Lei Yun rested his chin on his hand. “Are you saying that this Qi Ming is a Daoist, and he tricked you out of your demon core?”

Hu Xiaoling lay on the table, nodding frantically and chirping.

Lei Yun was a little embarrassed and said helplessly, “I can’t understand. I’ll write on the table.”

Hu Xiaoling’s whole fox face drooped, and she lay pitifully on the table.

Hu Jingxue arrived at the inn around noon. At this time, Lei Yun, Chen Jing, and Yue Chan were having lunch. The dishes were made by Chen Jing. Lei Yun secretly touched his waist, feeling like he had lost a little weight recently.

Hu Xiaoling was also eating from her bowl. Suddenly, she sensed a white figure appear at the door. She quickly put down her bowl, jumped to the ground, and ran towards the door.

Hu Jingxue immediately hugged her, checked that she was unharmed, and then carried her in by the scruff of her neck.

Hu Jingxue was still dressed in professional attire as before. She greeted Lei Yun and the others, but her gaze lingered on Chen Jing for a long time.

“Manager Lei, Hu Lanlan has already told me about Xiaoling’s matter. Thank you for this.” Hu Jingxue’s tone became gentle as she thanked Lei Yun.

Lei Yun grinned and waved his hand. “It’s nothing, you should quickly ask her what happened?”

Hu Jingxue looked at Hu Xiaoling, who immediately chirped non-stop.

Lei Yun and the others looked blankly at the fox language, while Hu Jingxue’s face became increasingly unsightly, her brows furrowed.

After a long time, she looked at Lei Yun. Hu Xiaoling was also tired and thirsty from speaking, so she jumped onto the table and drank a glass of water.

Hu Jingxue said, “Manager Lei, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to lend me a hand in this matter.”

Only then did Lei Yun learn about the truth of Hu Xiaoling’s deception. Initially, Hu Xiaoling left the fox clan for the first time because of this Qi Ming. This time, even her demon core was stolen, and she almost died at Qi Ming’s hands.

What really moved Lei Yun was that Qi Ming might have Yin Jade in his possession.

Now that Yin Jade was spreading in the human world, many people or demons with ulterior motives wanted to obtain this thing. Lei Yun had two pieces in his hand, both of which were obtained secretly. Except for the close people around him, no one knew about them.

Even if those evil cultivators knew, they couldn’t take it from Lei Yun’s hands. Therefore, these people could only turn their attention to the other three pieces.

The people of the fox clan were also knowledgeable. Hu Xiaoling had grown up with Ninth Granny since she was little, so she had naturally heard of the legend of Yin Jade.

Hu Jingxue knew the importance of Yin Jade, but the fox clan did not dare to get involved in this matter. For the sake of the entire clan’s survival, they were unwilling to provoke the right and wrong of this world. Therefore, at this time, they could only ask Lei Yun for help.
