Chapter 289: Little Fox Demon
Chapter 289: Little Fox Demon
During these few days, the little boy had been secretly listening to many rumors and news from within the Water Palace of Pang River.
From the conversations between the aquatic maids and guards, he learned a lot of things.
Including the current situation, as well as the feat from a few days ago when his father's sword traveled three thousand miles and the sword aura covered fifteen cities, frightening the demons and causing all the evils to flee.
At this moment, the aquatic beings within the Pang River were discussing it with great admiration and a sense of honor.
After all, that sword was unsheathed within the Water Palace of Pang River.
But the more he understood the towering image of his father in the eyes of outsiders, the more confused and puzzled the little boy became.
Everything that happened within that illusion, though known to be false and a deceitful mirage after waking up.
However, there were some questions that still lingered in the little boy's heart, leaving him unable to untangle the knots.
After days of hesitation and turmoil, he ultimately came before Lu Heng and chose to believe in his own father.
Facing the smiling Lu Heng, the little boy took a deep breath and said,
"Daddy, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Well, Wuyou, please speak," said Lu Heng.
The little boy once again clenched his fists nervously and continuously psyched himself up, before finally speaking up.
"Daddy, you... You said that we shouldn't tolerate or forgive the evil demons, and that we must eradicate them, but... But rumors are going around that you have a Demon Destroyer List here, with all the evil creatures from the Green Hell Cave recorded on it. And that you've allowed the Green Hell Cave to grow stronger so you can eliminate them all in one fell swoop..."
The little boy said with some discomfort, "It would indeed be a good thing to eliminate them all at once. But in the decades that these evil demons have been growing and wreaking havoc, countless innocent people have been harmed by them... This... Even if you can completely wipe out the evil creatures of the Green Hell Cave in the future, those innocent people who were harmed by the demons cannot be brought back to life."
As soon as the little boy spoke up, he mentioned such an incident.
Lu Heng was slightly surprised, but then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The young boy Shen Wuyou, on the other hand, had an excited expression. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Heng hadn't moved, he would have gone out to search for the fox woman already.
They didn't have to wait long either, soon a figure that Lu Heng was familiar with came to the courtyard with the guidance of a mermaid servant.
Inside the Water Palace of Pang River where fish were swimming, the little fox Su Xiaoxiao with pointed fox ears slightly bowed and greeted, saying:
"Hello, the Wolf God and Sister Xiao Ai."
Lu Heng looked her up and down, smiling as he said, "After running away for several years, Xiaoxiao has become even more adorable... So running away can make one's skin better?"
Lu Heng's teasing words caused the serious expression that the little fox was forcibly maintaining to collapse in an instant.
Her face turned red and she became slightly embarrassed, directly too shy to even speak.
Lu Heng then laughed and said, "What? After running away for several years, even though your skin has improved, the price to pay is that you can't even speak properly?"
Lu Heng's words made Su Xiaoxiao extremely embarrassed.
She lowered her head and hesitantly said, "Xiaoxiao left without saying goodbye, and I feel guilty for not living up to Senior Wolf God's guidance and expectations... I am ashamed in my heart, so I am sorry for not daring to speak up."
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "You're too ashamed to even speak when you see me, then if you were to meet Witch Wu Gu, you would be so embarrassed that you'd want to hide in a hole in the ground, wouldn't you?"
This sentence made the little fox girl slightly startled, followed by an uneasy expression.
"Witch Wu Gu..." She raised her head and looked at Lu Heng, asking, "Senior Wolf God, is Witch Wu Gu doing well now?"
Lu Heng sighed and said, "It's good that you still remember to care about her. Witch Wu Gu did put in a lot of effort for you... sigh..."
Speaking thus, Lu Heng said, "But to be honest, I don't know how she's been doing lately. After all, I haven't seen her since we parted ways five years ago."
"I thought she would come to Fire Pass Country to find you, but now there is no news of her in the country. It's possible that you have hidden too well, making it impossible for her to take action."
Lu Heng said, "But if you want to see her, it's actually simple."
Lu Heng looked at the young fox girl in front of him, his gaze calm.
"As long as I release the news that the fox demon Su Xiaoxiao is traveling with me, I believe that it won't be long before Witch Wu Gu comes to see you."
"After all, in her heart, you are the worthy successor who receives the mantle of responsibility."
