An indifferent expression appeared on Gu Liang's face. Ignoring the man's ramblings, Gu Liang walked away from the place.
Several veins could be seen on the man's head. Luckily, the man held back his emotions. Although he felt ignored by Gu Liang, the man was not completely able to beat Gu Liang.
The man's colleagues showed their displeased expressions at him. After wasting their time on an unknown man, they thought their colleague was a fool.
"Stop that! Hurry up and continue our search! We must catch that woman! This is also our client's order!"
Clicking his tongue, the man chose to forget Gu Liang's arrogant attitude. After the car started back on the highway, the man's gaze was slightly focused on the car's rearview mirror.
A strange expression appeared on the man's face. Confusion struck in his heart. Before the man could see Gu Liang at the end of the highway, his figure disappeared from that place.
A hint of suspicion struck the man's heart. Luckily, he decided to forget the stupid thoughts in his head. Looking back at the side in front of him, the man decided to resume his search.
Gu Liang's footsteps had reached the corridor next to the highway.
A slight sigh escaped his mouth. Patting his clothes, Gu Liang glanced at the side around him.
Several light poles and traffic signs can be seen around the edge of the highway. Most of the signs are warnings to motorists. Unfortunately, Gu Liang didn't care much about traffic rules.
As Gu Liang was walking around the corridor, he felt the body of the fox on his shoulder move slightly. Unable to hold back his curiosity, Gu Liang chose to take the fox into his arms.
With Gu Liang carrying the fox in one of his arms, he continued his journey. Instead of stopping to check on the fox's condition, Gu Liang began to invest his spiritual energy in recovering the fox's tiredness.
The fur from the fox gave Gu Liang a comfortable feeling. Touching the fur of the fox made Gu Liang want to immerse himself in it. Pretending to cough, Gu Liang decided to forget about his stupid intention.
After rubbing the fox's body, a small smile appeared on Gu Liang's face. While Gu Liang was taking care of the fox, he also noticed that the fox's cultivation level had decreased.
Several suspicious thoughts crossed Gu Liang's mind. Imagining that the fox had been attacked by some powerful expert, Gu Liang's wariness towards the fox became much higher than before.
To be able to imagine that there was a fox that could grow its tails to nine tails, the talent of that fox couldn't be lower than that of talented young cultivators. Some thoughts of finding out the potential of the fox in his arms struck Gu Liang's mind.
Even though the fox's tail was a double tail, it was not completely unable to grow anymore. On the contrary, the stronger the fox, the more its tail would also start to grow as its cultivation increased.
A strange reaction was seen in the fox's body. The fox's two eyelids twitched as if they would reveal its two sharp eyes. Gu Liang's caress gave the fox a comfortable feeling.
"I... what actually happened? Where am I now..." the fox's voice came out of his mouth. Its tone was no different from that of a 15-year-old girl. Hearing the fox's voice, Gu Liang's gaze fell on it again.
Lifting the fox to the side in front of him, Gu Liang's expression showed no change. His calm and emotionless face focused on the fox's face.
"Are you awake? How are you feeling?"
The fox's body fell silent. Its reaction showed that it felt fear after being grabbed by Gu Liang. From the fox's perspective, it thought Gu Liang was emitting an extremely evil aura.
"How is it possible... Who are you?! Let go of me! You evil human!"
A frown appeared on Gu Liang's face. After taking care of the fox, Gu Liang had initially assumed that it would be completely loyal to him.
But it seemed like the fox was very scared after seeing Gu Liang's figure. A dissatisfied look appeared on Gu Liang's face. Unable to suppress his cold face, both gazes from Gu Liang revealed a terrifying killing intent.
"You want to leave? You should know that I was the one who saved you. If you weren't found by me, you would have been killed by those hunters. Moreover, I have also decided to keep you as my pet."
Gu Liang's words gave the fox a much higher level of fear. Moreover, the last words said by Gu Liang seemed as if the fox had completely belonged to him.
Tears appeared on the fox's face. Tears flowed endlessly from the fox's eyes. Having thought that it was free from the hunters, it did not expect that it would now be kept as a pet by the Demon Lord.
"Hwaa! No! I don't want to! Who wants to be your pet?! You're a devil!"
Shaking his head, Gu Liang did not hesitate to take the fox back into his arms. Hearing the angry screams from the fox gave Gu Liang a strange feeling.
Even though the fox wanted to be free from his grasp, the sound it made made Gu Liang's heart feel at ease. Perhaps that was also the reason why Gu Liang did not rebuke the fox's muttering.
"Don't you know who I am? If you let me go, I promise that I will give you everything you want!" The chatter of the fox did not stop for a short time. It looked as if it was starting to mumble about its background. Even though the fox wanted to threaten Gu Liang, it couldn't fully see Gu Liang's expression.
"Oh? Is that so? Then you can continue with what you want to say."
The annoyance within the fox increased very rapidly. After seeing Gu Liang taking its threat lightly, the fox could no longer completely restrain its emotions.
After some time, the aura on the fox's body emitted a very strong aura. Gu Liang's expression did not change. By focusing his gaze on the fox, all the aura around the fox disappeared into silence.
Surprise surged within the fox. Some curiosity struck his mind. Turning to Gu Liang, the fox's gaze towards Gu Liang once again turned much scarier.
'What's... this... did he just use his gaze to take away all my power? Who exactly is this person?! He's even scarier than Father!' The fox's anger turned calm again. Some strange thoughts towards Gu Liang came to mind. From the fox's perspective, it found Gu Liang's strength to be very unreasonable.
Even though the fox was born with extraordinary talent, it felt that Gu Liang was much stronger than it was. As a fox, the fox's perception of a being's talents was what it could rely on the most.
After falling into the mortal world, the fox has had several problems with illegal hunters. Luckily, the fox is a being that can rely on its strength.
If it were an ordinary fox, the fox would not be able to survive being hunted by illegal hunters. Therefore, the fox was very afraid when it saw Gu Liang carrying it in his arms.
If it weren't for Gu Liang not doing anything strange to it, it would not have rebelled against Gu Liang. But it had now calmed down after witnessing Gu Liang's nonchalant attitude.
"It's good if you're aware of your situation. By the way, can you tell me what your name is? I'd like to know it too."
Doubt appeared on the fox's face. Even if Gu Liang had saved its life, it did not completely trust him.
For some reason, the fox felt a strange feeling when it looked at Gu Liang. Slightly turning its head to the side, the fox couldn't hold back its embarrassed face.
"Just call me Mo Xin. That's the name my father gave me. But who are you? Are you also from the upper world?"
