Chapter 325: Chapter 187: Brother~ You’re Not Feeling Sorry for This Little Fox, Are You?
The Flying Corpse was killed instantly by Su Liyan’s claw, dissipating into nothingness.
All living things must die and return to the earth as ghosts. But when a ghost dies, it is annihilated completely.
Su Liyan landed heavily on the ground, cracking the surrounding tiles.
Lu Yuan glanced at the unconscious Fox Spirit. ’She won’t be waking up anytime soon.’
Lu Yuan trotted over to his wife’s side, calling out, "Honey, honey..."
After hearing her man call out to her a few times, Su Liyan slowly returned to her normal form.
Su Liyan threw herself into Lu Yuan’s arms and said, "Honey, I didn’t scare you just now, did I?"
Lu Yuan held Su Liyan, patting her back. "Of course not," he said. "You’re my wife. How could you possibly scare me?"
Hearing this, Su Liyan snuggled into Lu Yuan’s embrace and nodded.
At that moment, Su Liyan was still in her young man’s disguise.
Lu Yuan playfully tapped his wife’s nose. "You’re much stronger than I am. If it weren’t for you, who knows when tonight’s mess would have ended."
Su Liyan smiled sweetly and said, "Honey, if I hadn’t undergone that ancestral regression, I definitely couldn’t beat you."
As the two were flirting, a ball of ethereal blue Flame slowly descended from the sky.
The Flame hovered before Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, about two and a half feet off the ground.
It was what remained of the Flying Corpse that Su Liyan had struck down.
Su Liyan stood up and looked at the Flame. "Honey, what is this?"
Lu Yuan had read about such things in the *Celestial Master’s Manual* and recalled a thing or two. He explained, "This must be the ’breath’ of the Flying Corpse. After a thousand years of cultivation, it transformed into a Flame. It looks pretty ’heated,’ too. It probably needs some bitter melon and chicory to cool it down."
If only the Grand Celestial Masters had extinguished this ’breath’ last time when they ganged up on the Flying Corpse in its physical form and killed it, it wouldn’t have reappeared as a Void Body to cause trouble here now.
Su Liyan replied, "Oh, so that’s what this is. My mother told me about it before. She said it’s quite useful."
"Is that so? Then we can’t let it go to waste." Lu Yuan operated on the principle that one should be frugal and never let a good thing go to waste.
Saying this, Lu Yuan walked forward, intending to collect the ball of ethereal blue Flame.
Lu Yuan chanted a Spell and formed a Double-Handed Seal, and a purple flame swirled around his hands.
Lu Yuan reached out to grab the ethereal blue Flame. The closer he got, the more intense the burning sensation in his hands became.
Fortunately, the purple flame protected Lu Yuan’s hands, preventing him from being burned.
Su Liyan stood behind Lu Yuan, watching him worriedly. "Honey, be careful," she said. "If it’s too much, just disperse it. We don’t need it."
Lu Yuan managed to force out a few words: "I’m about to get it!"
Lu Yuan couldn’t figure out the ethereal blue Flame right away, so he decided to store it in his System Space for the time being.
There was a lot of junk in his System Space, so Lu Yuan placed the Flame in a separate corner to avoid burning anything else.
Lu Yuan shook his hands, flicking the flames off them.
"PHEW, PHEW..." Lu Yuan said, blowing on his hands. "That was pretty hot."
Once Lu Yuan had stored the ethereal blue Flame away, the surroundings grew dim again.
Although Su Liyan was curious about how Lu Yuan had absorbed the Flame, she didn’t ask.
’No need to question everything her man did.’
Lu Yuan turned and put his arm around Su Liyan, who was still dressed as a young man.
Thankfully, no one else was around late at night. Otherwise, two men embracing would have been rather inappropriate.
After all, Dongchang City was not a particularly open-minded place.
For that matter, the entire Divine Ling Empire was unlikely to tolerate two men being together.
The common folk were actually far more likely to accept a union between the Half-demon Race and the Human Race than one between two men.
Lu Yuan looked at the unconscious Fox Spirit and asked, "Honey, how did you run into this Fox Spirit anyway?"
Su Liyan giggled. "I suppose this Little Fox took a fancy to my handsome male looks. She tried her best to flirt with me, but unfortunately for her, this young lady wasn’t falling for it."
"That makes sense. In that outfit, if I were a woman, I’d go for you first too," Lu Yuan agreed.
The two of them chatted away while keeping an eye on the Fox Spirit.
While they were talking, the Fox Spirit, who had been unconscious, had already woken up and was now just pretending.
The perceptive Su Liyan kicked the Fox Spirit’s leg. "Little Fox, stop pretending. Since you’re awake, why bother playing dead?"
Exposed, the Fox Spirit shot up, trying to bolt.
Su Liyan stomped her foot, and a crushing pressure slammed down on the Fox Spirit.
The Fox Spirit’s movements became extremely sluggish.
Lu Yuan didn’t waste any words. He pulled off his sash and tied the creature’s hands.
The Fox Spirit bared its teeth and hissed at Lu Yuan, but it didn’t dare to bite him.
"SLAP!"
With a crisp sound, Su Liyan slapped the creature across the face.
The Fox Spirit felt the fiery sting on its face and turned toward Su Liyan, about to hiss again.
"SLAP!"
"SLAP!"
Su Liyan slapped it twice more, once from each side. The Fox Spirit choked back its hiss, letting out a couple of soft whimpers instead.
Lu Yuan, who was still tying the bonds, looked down and said, "Honey, maybe go a little easier on her. This Fox Spirit doesn’t seem..."
Before Lu Yuan could finish, Su Liyan leaned close to his face and said sweetly, "Honey~ You’re not starting to feel sorry for this Little Fox, are you?"
Lu Yuan tied a dead knot and gave it another hard tug. "Honey, what are you talking about? You think I’d be interested in a fox face like that?"
’I don’t have a thing for animals,’ Lu Yuan thought. ’There’s no way I could bring myself to kiss that fox snout.’
