My apprentice is not easy

Chapter 12 The Name of the Red Fox
Under the control of the heart-eating demon, the heroine finally wiped out Jiang's family before she finally regained consciousness, suppressed heart-eating with her willpower, and regained control of her body.

Looking at the dead bodies all over the Jiang family, the heroine was annoyed and unbelievable.

In the end, he chose to escape from the Jiang family, as if he couldn't see it, so he could pretend that nothing had happened.

She fled for three whole months, never daring to go to crowded places like towns, for fear that the heart-devouring monster in her body would appear and cause another murder.

Because she was walking aimlessly along the mountain road, three months later, she accidentally broke into a stone forest and lost her way.

For three whole days, no water entered, the heroine almost thought that she was going to die in that place, and was rescued in a trance.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with red hair and red eyes, and an ice-blue dagger in his hand.

When Shen Ling read this, she complained about this character design, what aesthetic is red with blue?
But the following plot made her completely ignore the issue of aesthetics or not.

The young man led the heroine out of the stone forest, pointed to the west, told her that there was a road there, told her to leave earlier, and then headed east alone.

But the hostess doesn't want to leave just like that.

Putting aside the grace of saving lives, that boy's ice-blue dagger can swing a wall of ice!He must be a practitioner.

The heroine wants to suppress the demon in her body, practicing is the only way she can think of.

She followed all the way, headed towards the east, was warned once by the boy, and she was ashamed, and never gave up.

As long as the direction is correct, you can always find the place, right?

The heroine was very lucky, she found it in only ten days, and joined that practice sect: Lihenzong.

She had the method of cultivation as she wished, and suppressed the heart-biting heart in her body.

But that's all.

On that day, the hostess obeyed the elder's order and sent a box to the suzerain's place.

After hearing that her savior was the young master of the sect, the hostess went happily.

As soon as he entered the cave, he saw a scene of... Purgatory.

Countless human beings and monsters were bound in the cave, all of them covered with scars, half dead.

The so-called sect master was holding a knife and cutting open a woman's chest.

And the savior she was thinking of was standing by, with a collar hanging around her neck, and the other end of the collar was hanging on the suzerain's waist.

Compared with when she first met, the boy at this time... has more fox ears and fox tails.

The hostess was terrified, turned around and fled.

But the suzerain smiled and said to the young man:
"Good boy, help Daddy bring her back."

The boy rushed out and stopped the fleeing heroine, but there was nothing left in those red eyes.

The heroine was dragged back to the cave, she cried and begged for mercy, but only got a dazzling smile from the boy.

He smiled and said,
"Didn't I let you go?"

From the words, the hostess heard crying.

She was tied up in the cave, just like everyone else here.

I also witnessed with my own eyes that the suzerain opened the box she brought, took out a monster heart, and put it into the body of the woman whose chest had been cut open.

In an instant, the hostess understood.

What kind of practice sect is just an illusion. What the suzerain does is to create human beings with the power of demons, which is a taboo that neither humans nor demons can accept.

And she, a person who suppressed the demon with her will, is no different from the sheep that was sent to the wolf's mouth....

The hostess stayed in that sect for a month, and her life would be better than death, but she also attracted Wu Guofu, the demon master who was chasing and killing here because of the Jiang family's affairs.

After a big battle, the heroine survived.

When I went to find the benefactor again, I only found the body of a red fox.

The red fox is just a word that the heroine does not know the name of her benefactor, but stands on the tombstone.

……

呲!
The carving knife slipped in her hand and landed on her finger. Shen Ling was stunned for a moment, put down the carving knife, and turned the carved wood carving to her right hand.

Just as he was about to put his finger in his mouth, he saw a white cloth land on his fingertips.

Shen Ling looked up.

I saw Shi Heng showing a flattering smile at her.

"Sister Shen, I'll come, I'll come."

"..."

This is probably a fool.

Shen Ling clapped her hands, letting Shi Heng bandage them, and looked up at the door.

Those many merchants have already dispersed.

"Is it over yet?"

Shi Heng nodded.

"Yeah, it's over."

"That's fine." Shen Ling sat up, "It's time to settle our accounts."

Shi Heng stopped moving.

"what?"

"Ah what? You want to kill me, can't I chase something back?"

Shi Heng was silent for a second, then continued to work and laugh.

"... Yes, especially able, should be, what elder sister Shen says is what she says!"

Shen Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"Really?"

"More real than real gold."

"Then..." Shen Ling turned her head to think for a moment, "Let's just talk about the business between you and me yesterday!"

Business?what business?
Shi Heng's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Shen Ling smiled and handed over the wood carving in her right hand.

"Yesterday, that statue was not suitable for you. This one is for you. Remember to owe me 5 taels of gold, ang?"

Five five five woo...

Shi Heng looked mournful.

"I don't have that much money."

"That's okay, not now, but in the future." Shen Ling said, "As a practitioner, isn't it easy to make money?"

"..."

I didn't even know it was easy for practitioners to make money, where did you know that?
Shi Heng looked at Shen Ling, and finally, without refuting, took the wood carving tremblingly.

After all, he did something wrong, he should, he should... Ah, God, will he have to live a hard life of working and paying off debts from now on?Don't...

Shen Ling ignored Shi Heng's ashen face, and looked down at her fingertips.

The bandage is quite good, this little bow is so cute.

"Okay, remember to save enough money earlier!"

Shi Heng covered his throbbing little heart and nodded with difficulty.

"I, I know."

He lowered his head and looked at the wood carving in his hand.

I saw a lifelike fox standing in the palm of my hand, with nine long tails standing upright, as if it would come alive in the next second, swinging with the wind.

So beautiful!

Shi Heng looked a little crazy for a while, and even vaguely felt that the tailbone was itchy...

wrong!

5 taels of gold, what's the use of this beautiful thing?

Shi Heng raised his hand and wanted to throw the wood carving away, he stretched out his wrist and retracted it several times.

In the end, he was still reluctant and put the wood carving into the storage ring.

He leaned on the edge of the recliner, looking at Shen Ling eagerly.

"Sister Shen, can I go back first? Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money I owe you, that's..."

"Alright, go ahead!"

Shen Ling said bluntly.

As soon as the words came out, Shi Heng felt uncomfortable.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after I leave? The money is also on the line."

Shen Ling waved her hand casually.

"Go, go, I'm sure you'll come back."

"..."

Fine.

Shi Heng didn't say any more, he firmly decided to work hard to make money, stood up, and strode out of the small shop.

He has to think about how to return from the country of Yin to his hometown in the country of Wu...
