Chapter 648: Just for a meal
Gu Heng was certain he hadn't misread it.
There was indeed a snow-white fox tail behind the girl, and a faint, elegant fragrance could be smelled, not a fishy or pungent odor...
Perhaps he was just ignorant, after all, he had never had the chance to see what the demon race was really like, but it was clear that the person in front of him was definitely a fox among the demon race!
You're in trouble.
The fox-girl crossed her legs, her eyes scanning Gu Heng up and down.
"What do you mean?"
“That bear clan member was already planning to rob you and kill you, but I noticed you haven’t noticed yet, so I’m kindly reminding you.”
The fox-girl's eyes held a hint of pity and regret.
Gu Heng hadn't expected this. He had only come to eat, drink, and ask for directions, so how did he become the target of a robbery?
Is it possible...
Was I too generous when I took out spirit stones just now?
That shouldn't be the case. It's only about ten spirit stones. Surely the demon race isn't so poor that they don't even have this much.
How do you know he wanted to rob me and kill me?
"Because I understand the demon race."
She was full of confidence, but Gu Heng could still see the contempt and disgust that were written all over her face.
"Those demons with inferior and mixed bloodlines have difficulty suppressing their ferocious nature and are naturally extremely eager to eat people. Their main goal is to kill you; robbing you is just a side effect."
"Most of the demons who mingle in this Demon Cloud City are like this; they reek of lowliness."
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow: "So you're not 'that kind of person'?"
"of course not!"
The fox girl's tail immediately stood up, and her eyebrows were raised high.
"This county... sigh, I'm not going to explain to you. Just don't compare me to those inferior demon races whose bloodlines are as low as beasts!"
"Okay, whatever you say."
Gu Heng glanced at the fluffy white tail without making it obvious, but he wasn't quite sure what it would feel like to touch.
However, since they were all strangers, it was best not to touch each other's tails. What he was more concerned about now was why this fox girl was willing to remind him.
It's possible that some demons are naturally drawn to humans, but based on his limited "experience," Gu Heng didn't think the fox spirit in front of him was the kind of beautiful, pure-hearted, and kind-hearted demon.
Then.
The other party either simply wanted to ruin the bear-tribe waiter's "good deed," or they wanted something from him.
Think about it this way.
Gu Heng silently activated his "omniscient perspective" on the fox girl in front of him, intending to take a good look at her background.
"Target: Mu Qingyu".
Threat level: equivalent to none.
Future potential: High.
"Origin: Born into the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, possessing the most superior Nine-Tailed Bloodline."
For those whom Gu Heng knew nothing about, and who were being seen for the first time by the "omniscient perspective," especially those who were of considerable background and qualifications, the "omniscient perspective" would be much more generous, giving them two more lines of text. For example, Yin Xueling from the desolate city received such "generosity."
Gu Heng had only seen future potential and origins in a very small number of people. The vast majority of them were not qualified to receive more information from the "omniscient perspective" because they were not important.
But this fox girl in front of us, like Yin Xueling, has "high" potential for the future!
Damn, this fox spirit is actually a genius.
The "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan" was completely unfamiliar to Gu Heng, who didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it was just a local demon clan of this Little Mystic Heaven Realm.
"You're being so kind as to remind me, surely you can't be upset that a newcomer like me is being harmed?"
Gu Heng gazed at her with deep eyes.
Actually, he wasn't worried. It wasn't the first time he'd been robbed. He'd been robbed before in the Xuan Tian Realm, it was just that this time the ones robbing him were demons.
As for the demon race, Gu Heng didn't find them particularly terrifying, perhaps because he had never seen anything terrifying. Su Jinxi, on the other hand, wasn't scary.
What a beautiful cat!
The fox spirit in front of me is both beautiful and alluring!
"Of course, the Immortal Demon Kingdom has long had its laws, and I naturally cannot stand to see those lowly, inferior people breaking the rules, and besides..."
The little fox girl twitched her delicate nose, her eyes already drifting to the dishes on the table.
He looked like he couldn't hold back any longer.
"I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder, so I should get something in return, shouldn't I?"
Now the truth is out.
Although Gu Heng had thought a lot, she never expected that she was just trying to get a free meal. In fact, she could have just said so. Gu Heng wasn't hungry, so she didn't mind having another diner with her, not to mention that she was so good-looking, which would be good for her appetite!
"Then please go ahead." Gu Heng silently pushed the bowl and chopsticks towards her.
She didn't stand on ceremony and started eating freely. Gu Heng watched as she devoured all the dishes on the table. He thought that demons didn't need to eat, since Su Jinxi hadn't eaten at all, and he had only fed her the sugar pills he had made.
"Phew, come to life!"
The fox spirit Mu Qingyu even let out a burp, then reached out and patted Gu Heng's shoulder in a very familiar manner.
"My name is Mu Qingyu, what's yours?"
"Gu Heng, your name is quite nice."
"Wait, you... haven't heard of this name before, have you?" Mu Qingyu suddenly narrowed her eyes, her whole body tensing up.
"No."
"It's alright if you haven't heard of it, don't worry about it." She relaxed again.
"Brother Gu, for the sake of this meal, I can also help you get rid of those guys who want to eat you. How about it, isn't that a good deal?"
As if the hearty meal had given Mu Qingyu a burst of energy, her tail began to wag rhythmically, as if she was bored out of her mind and needed to find something to do.
"Well, Miss Qingyu's strength doesn't seem to be as strong as mine, so there's no need for you to worry about it."
Gu Heng thought to himself that this fox spirit had started taking on extra work.
But she doesn't seem very strong.
The assessment from an "omniscient perspective" is actually quite vague, since "the threat is equivalent to nothing" can be interpreted in several ways: either she is not as powerful as oneself, or she has no ill intentions towards oneself, or both...
Furthermore, Gu Heng had a certain judgment in his mind.
That means it's best not to get too involved with this fox spirit, otherwise it will bring unnecessary trouble.
With "the most outstanding nine-tailed bloodline" and "future potential: high", Gu Heng felt that she was most likely the most outstanding prodigy of this nine-tailed celestial fox clan, which was very important!
Such an important role must involve many things.
But he didn't want to get involved in anything; he just wanted to stroll around this small Xuan Tian Realm.
"Huh? You're saying I'm not as good as you??"
Mu Qingyu began to have doubts.
She's only a little over 1,400 years old, yet she's already reached the level of a Xuanxian cultivator!
Among the demon race, she considers herself the second most talented among the younger generation, and no one would dare to claim the first place!
This human doesn't seem very impressive, and speaks quite humbly, but he has a strange kind of self-confidence.
But Mu Qingyu couldn't explain it either. She looked at Gu Heng as if he were a blank sheet of paper, as if she could see through everything, but there was nothing inside... But he was definitely not a celestial cultivator.
If you're not a fairy, you're definitely not as powerful as her!
