Chapter 558: Not So Smart (Update)

After a good sleep, when Murong Ji opened his eyes again, it was already dark and faint crying sounds could be heard slowly.

Murong Ji turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a box more than one meter high, covered with a piece of gray cloth...

Faint sobbing sounds could be heard from inside the box. From the intermittent and weak sound, one could tell that the person had been crying for a long time.

Murong Ji yawned and turned to look around. It was probably a dilapidated temple. This room was cleared out and used as a temporary warehouse.

Murong Ji exhaled a breath of foul air and whispered to the box: "Don't cry, it's better to find a way to escape. What's the use of crying? It's time..."

The sobbing stopped abruptly, as if she was startled. After a while, she asked softly, "Who... who are you... are you also a demon captured by them?"

Murong Ji listened to the voice and thought about it carefully, [This little girl is not very old, I wonder what kind of monster she is. ]

He yawned, but did not answer in a hurry. He glanced at the surroundings again, and then carefully got out of his soul.

A golden figure slowly emerged from Murong Ji's upper body. It was Murong Ji's Yang Shen.

Yang Shen untied the ropes that trapped him and slowly returned to his body.

He pushed himself up against the ground, stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and was about to walk towards the box when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

With a sudden pang in his heart, Murong Ji quickly lay down in his original position.

The next moment, the light of fire came from the door and swept inside. "Hey, I told you, the little fox has been crying all the way and must be tired. He must have fallen asleep. It's okay."

"Let's go, let's continue drinking..."

[Is the person imprisoned inside... a fox?] In Murong Ji's mind, he imagined the figure of the nine-tailed celestial fox Xiaobai. It must be said that Xiaobai was the charm of God...

Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Murong Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He climbed up carefully, turned his head and glanced at the door to make sure that no one else would come in.

Then he walked forward, lifted the gray box cloth and took a look. Behind the gray box cloth, there was not a big box, but a cage. He was stunned. The thing imprisoned inside was not a white fox...

[Are there green foxes in this world? Such an auspicious color...]

The little girl huddled pitifully on the other side, far away from him.

She was still choking, trying hard to suppress her crying, her big watery eyes were blinking, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes...

There is a demon pattern on each cheek, which is not ferocious, but rather looks delicate and cute. The most conspicuous thing is the ears on both sides that look like they are broken.

Murong Ji's mouth twitched, "Fold-eared fox? From Tushan?!"

As soon as the voice fell, the little fox's eyes were full of surprise, and he said hurriedly: "You... do you know Tushan... it was my sister who asked you to save me?!"

Suddenly, she rushed over and tightly grasped Murong Ji's sleeve, as if she had grasped the last straw, and wanted to cry to him about the grievances she had suffered these days...

"I will never eat anything random again. Don't sell me to Tianxianglou..."

Murong Ji was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. Isn't it said that humans and demons are like water and fire?

Why... she seems not very smart... Isn't it said that the three Tushan sisters have good talents? Tushan Honghong and Tushan Yaya don't even have a trace of demon marks on their bodies, so their talents are excellent.

But looking at Tu Shan Rong Rong, why is it that she is a little bit... [It feels a little strange that she could be deceived by a steamed bun...]

Isn't it said that Tushan Rongrong is so smart that she is almost a demon? No, she is a demon.

It’s just… From this perspective, the IQ of the Tushan sisters is a bit worrying. “It turns out that monsters are not good at intelligence. This is their intelligence…”

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji looked at the demon-killing talisman pasted on the cage. The talisman was very rough and Murong Ji could destroy it easily. After that, he released Tu Shan Rongrong.

He motioned her to be quiet, then looked towards the door. After making sure there was no problem, he said softly, "Hold your breath, close your eyes, and I'll take you out."

Tu Shan Rongrong closed her eyes tightly without hesitation. Murong Ji felt helpless. This was the first time they met. This kind of trust... was quite overwhelming.

After dawn.

Murong Ji and Tushan Rongrong sat on the cow's back, one after the other, walking forward leisurely.

Looking at the sky, Murong Ji yawned. He didn't sleep well the whole night. He is still a child...

Turning his head and looking behind him, he saw the famous Tu Shan Rong Rong, who was holding a roasted chicken and eating with oil dripping from her mouth, looking totally ungraceful...

At this moment, he was struggling with the chicken skeleton. When he ate a little meat, he squinted his eyes in satisfaction. His squinting eyes made him look like a fox...

Bah! She is a fox!
Turning around, Murong Ji looked at the white clouds in the sky, and suddenly thought of Zhuge Qing. Their eyes were so similar.

As people get older, they love to reminisce about the past...as if they are trying to grasp the youth that they can't keep.

Clearing his mind, Murong Ji sighed again. He hadn't had lunch yet... This was the miserable daily routine of practicing Buddhism. Not only was it dangerous, but he also had no idea where to get his next meal after finishing the previous one!
【Dead monkey! 】

Murong Ji gnashed his teeth and cursed the Third Young Master secretly, hoping that he would fall down when he went out... Just as he was thinking, he was suddenly stunned. After reacting, he looked at Tu Shan Rongrong in astonishment. In just a short while, Tu Shan Rongrong had eaten the roasted chicken until only the bones were left...

[The person that the dead monkey was talking about, could it be this not-so-smart little fox?!] Murong Ji couldn't help but twitch his lips. Demon King? He really didn't see any potential of the Demon King at all...

The qualifications of the demon race were revealed in a very strange way. The more demon patterns there were, the worse their qualifications were.

According to the information Murong Ji knew, the number of demon patterns on his body almost represented his potential and status in the demon world.

For example, Tushan Yaya, she became famous in the demon world before she even grew up, not because she was the second daughter of Tushan, but because of her qualifications.

Like her sister, she didn't have a single demon mark on her body, and she was also a nine-tailed fox...

Tushan Rongrong has quite a few demon patterns on her body...

Murong Ji turned around and circulated his true energy in his eyes. The originally hazy Tushan Rongrong gradually became clearer.

[When she was little, Tu Shan Rongrong was really a cute little fox. But her green hair was so healthy...]

Seeing that she was still chewing the chicken carcass and there was no meat left on it, Murong Ji's mouth twitched. He reached out to grab the chicken carcass and threw it into the grass beside him.

Tu Shan Rongrong followed the chicken rack with reluctance, turned around, wanted to say something, but didn't dare to, lowered her head, pouted, and kept poking her fingers...

Murong Ji slapped himself on the face. Really... it was an indescribable feeling. Who would have believed that this guy would be the actual controller of Tushan in the future... He looked so adorable.

Murong Ji exhaled slowly and asked softly, "Do you like roast chicken?"

Tu Shan Rongrong thought about it, as if trying to figure out Murong Ji's idea, and then nodded.

Her reaction surprised Murong Ji. [Will she try to figure out other people's thoughts? This is consistent with my impression of Tu Shan Rongrong...but why do I feel that she has a low self-esteem?]

Murong Ji looked at the silent Tushan Rongrong, who looked a little pitiful, as if she would burst into tears if Murong Ji said one more word...

Murong Ji: "..."

"Uh, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..." After waiting for a while, seeing that Tu Shan Rongrong didn't respond, he breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "Let me see your qualifications first?"

Seeing no reaction from Tushan Rongrong, Murong Ji sighed softly and then pressed his hand on her shoulder.

The next moment, Tu Shan Rongrong trembled all over...

Murong Ji was speechless, "I just want to see your cultivation aptitude."

As a demon, his body is naturally strong, but he lacks in comprehension. Murong Ji let out a long breath, is this right?

People are good at wisdom but not good at strength, while demons are good at strength but not good at wisdom.

[However, the meridians in this body are really similar to those of humans! ]

He had seen many demons, who, after transforming, would get close to the meridians of humans. No, to be more precise, they would get close to the 'innate Tao body'.

This is also one of the reasons why the human race is loved by heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Murong Ji thought of a question. It seemed that the Third Young Master was having a "physical and mental dispute" with someone?

"Isn't this a fight for life? Isn't it simple... just save his life."

Then, Murong Ji turned to look at Tushan Rongrong, and he also had an idea. There is nothing wrong with the body of the demon race, and they are several times stronger than humans. [If I teach her how to practice sexual skills, can I push her to the level of the Great Demon King? ]

Murong Ji had never seen the realm of the Great Demon King, and had no real concept of it. As far as he knew, the Demon King could mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

But if he used the formation, at the fifth level of Shangqing, he would have enough strength to mobilize the power of heaven and earth...

"No matter what, love whatever you want!"

It's approaching noon.

Murong Ji took Tushan Rongrong and sneaked into the mountains, but they didn't dare to go deep. What if there was some big monster in there? They didn't even have the ability to resist now.

They just shot a few wild rabbits outside, roasted them, and each of them started to eat one.

After eating and drinking, I rested for a while.

Perhaps it was Murong Ji's two attempts to feed her that made Tu Shan Rongrong temporarily let down her guard and she began to move closer timidly.

Murong Ji looked at the time and walked towards the calf that was eating happily in the grass.

Cows are stubborn. If they don't want to do something, you can force them to do it. After a lot of effort, Murong Ji finally led it to the main road.
