Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage (GL) - Chapter 14

The person asking was her roommate Zhao Qingqing.

Hu Mengmeng had gone out yesterday and hadn’t returned, and her roommates had even called her.

She wondered if they had told the counselor!

“I, um, went to see my friend at the Communication University. You met her last time, Tao Tao. I got back a bit late and didn’t want to disturb you. Sorry, I didn’t see your calls,” Hu Mengmeng said from inside the mosquito net, quickly retracting her bloodline, no longer playing with releasing and retracting it. She had more important things to do.

“If we hadn’t known you had a friend at another college, we would have called the police,” her roommate Si Xiaoqi said.

“I’m sorry, my phone is a bit broken. I’m really sorry for making you worry. Please don’t tell the counselor,” Hu Mengmeng said, having already retracted her bloodline, pulling open a gap in the mosquito net to speak.

“Of course, we won’t tell the counselor. As long as you’re okay. Remember to send a text next time,” Zhao Qingqing said with a smile.

The two roommates didn’t suspect anything and didn’t ask any more questions. Hu Mengmeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mengmeng, are you going shopping today?” Si Xiaoqi asked Hu Mengmeng as she got out of bed.

“Oh, no, I have something to do today,” Hu Mengmeng said.

Yu Luoluo, another roommate whose home was nearby, had already gone home yesterday. Si Xiaoqi and Zhao Qingqing looked like they were going shopping.

She wanted to go shopping too, but she had something more important to do.

Hu Mengmeng, with her somewhat messy short hair, went to take a shower.

While showering, Hu Mengmeng instinctively reached for the bell on her neck, but she didn’t feel it.

After thinking about it, she didn’t know where it had fallen off. It could be at that villa, Shen Yuexi’s secret base, or in the back mountain forest.

Hu Mengmeng was a bit annoyed. That was something she had kept for over ten years, and it was just gone!

Hu Mengmeng scratched her hair, planning to go look in the back mountain when she had time.

After showering, Hu Mengmeng changed into a black short-sleeved shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

The shoes were okay, but the short-sleeved shirt and jeans were both too big. The short-sleeved shirt had become a loose fit, and the jeans would fall down if she didn’t wear a belt. Her previously tight clothes had become a hip-hop loose style. It looked like she needed to buy a new batch of clothes.

During the experimental phase, she hadn’t felt much. But now that she was maintaining it for a longer period, suppressing her fox spirit bloodline required her to constantly keep a portion of her attention on it. Hu Mengmeng felt that her mind wasn’t as sharp as when her fox spirit bloodline was active. Her senses of sight, hearing, and smell had also become like those of an ordinary person because her spiritual energy was all used to suppress her bloodline. Having experienced that highly sensitive state, she now felt very dull.

Concentrating spiritual energy in one place and diverting half of her attention – this was the consequence, she supposed. There was no other way for now.

“Mengmeng, you’ve lost so much weight after military training! And you’ve become prettier! You haven’t even gotten tanned! I’m so jealous!” Si Xiaoqi, who had also come to look in the mirror, exclaimed in surprise as Hu Mengmeng finished getting ready in front of the dressing mirror.

The few of them had all gotten quite tanned, especially the contrast between their foreheads and faces where they had worn hats was obvious. They could only use their bangs to cover it up and hope the color difference would fade.

“Really! I’ve been so exhausted these past few days, I didn’t notice. Mengmeng, you’re amazing! What sunscreen did you use?” Zhao Qingqing came over to ask.

“Hehe, you two are exaggerating. I was just fat before, and now I’ve lost a bit of weight. My desk is clean, with only facial cleanser and moisturizing spray. Maybe I’m just naturally beautiful,” Hu Mengmeng said with a smile. How much she wanted to show off her beauty, but her current situation didn’t allow it.

And they were already envious like this!

Hu Mengmeng felt a slight smugness in her heart.

The two roommates thought Hu Mengmeng was joking and laughed along.

The two of them packed their things, wanting to go shopping early. Hu Mengmeng watched them leave, quickly bolted the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and her body slimmed down and changed shape at a visible speed.

“Mom, when are you coming? I have the National Day holiday. I have something important to tell you,” Hu Mengmeng first called Su Mingli and said to her on the other end of the phone.

“I’m already in the car. You little brat, don’t tell me you lost control again and got caught by, cough, that thing?!” Su Mingli said, clearing her throat to cover up. She was already on her way to Fengcheng.

The shop in Taolin County had accumulated popularity for several years, and she was truly reluctant to give it up. In the end, she gritted her teeth and sublet it. She couldn’t bear to sell the house with the mortgage yet, deciding to see how things developed in Fengcheng. If it went well, she would sell that house and buy a small one in Fengcheng just big enough for the two of them.

“Mom, no. I’m very safe now. When will you arrive? I’ll go pick you up,” Hu Mengmeng quickly said.

“I’ll arrive around 12 o’clock, I’m taking the high-speed train. You don’t need to pick me up. I’ll take a car to your school when I arrive, probably around 1 o’clock. I’ll call you then, and we’ll go look at houses first,” Su Mingli said.

The two of them said a few more words and hung up.

Knowing that Su Mingli was coming, Hu Mengmeng felt much more at ease.

Her stomach growled loudly. Hu Mengmeng retracted her bloodline, left the dormitory, and called Tao Tao as she walked, planning to ask Tao Tao out for breakfast and also discuss their little secret of what kind of demons they were.

Knowing that Tao Tao was also a demon, Hu Mengmeng felt even closer to her.

She was very curious about what kind of demon Tao Tao was.

Before, she hadn’t felt anything at all.

Now, she was gradually getting the hang of it, at least able to distinguish the aura of demons and whether they had spiritual energy.

As for what kind of demon, she also had some memories of various demons and needed to look more specifically.

Hu Mengmeng’s call went through after a long time.

“Tao Tao, have you had breakfast? I bought some to bring to you. What do you want to eat?” Hu Mengmeng said into her phone.

“Mengmeng, I’ve gone home. You go eat by yourself,” Tao Tao’s soft voice came from the other end.

“Ah? What did you say? You went home by yourself? Why didn’t you call me?” Hu Mengmeng was surprised.

“Mengmeng, thank you. I can’t always rely on you. I can manage on my own. I won’t say much more, I’m getting on the bus,” Tao Tao said a few sentences and hung up.

Hu Mengmeng called back, but no one answered.

Could it be that Tao Tao was scared?

She must have been scared. It would be strange not to be scared after being chased by a demon hunter with a sword.

Tao Tao had already gotten on the bus, and Su Mingli was about to arrive. Hu Mengmeng couldn’t rush over to find Tao Tao, so she just called Tao Zhengcheng and told him about Tao Tao going home.

Hu Mengmeng went to the cafeteria for breakfast first.

In the Maple Garden villa, Ye Xinyu, having showered and wearing a dark gray loungewear set, sat on the sofa in the living room. Huo Zhilan told her about what had happened last night.

“That female student had half of her leg bitten off, with damage to the bones, ligaments, and nerves. She’s already had surgery, but her leg is crippled and she’ll need a prosthetic in the future. She hasn’t woken up yet, so we can’t find out who did it for now. Around 12 o’clock last night, we encountered another one, a powerful demon, very fast. Later, we called in a helicopter for a thermal sensing search, but we couldn’t find it. Gu Yiying said there’s no unfamiliar demon aura on campus anymore,” Huo Zhilan said.

“There were two demons, they should both be freshmen who snuck in. One has a leg disability. We should be able to narrow it down by asking around about the recent freshmen. As for the other one, they might have a good relationship with this one, or it might be a secret relationship. Go check the situation first. I’ll take a look when I go to the school for dormitory checks this week,” Ye Xinyu said.

“Is your body okay?” Huo Zhilan asked worriedly.

“I’ll be fine after a few days of rest, it’s nothing serious. That demon eats people, it’s very dangerous. Aunt Lan, please find someone to redecorate the villa, make it more refreshing. I’ll be staying here for the next few days. I’ll go check the surveillance room first,” Ye Xinyu said to Huo Zhilan. She had recovered 40 to 50%. After showering and having breakfast, she felt much more comfortable. Now she wanted to see if the surveillance footage was the same as in her illusions.

Yes, Ye Xinyu had discovered the security cameras. This was also one of the reasons she immediately decided to buy this villa.

If this villa hadn’t been unoccupied for so long, having such cameras would have been like a live broadcast of what happened.

Ye Xinyu went to the surveillance room to watch the footage from last night. The footage from the night vision cameras wasn’t very clear and was a bit black and white, but the general situation could be seen.

Ye Xinyu’s face flushed and paled as she watched.
