Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage (GL) - Chapter 26

Huo Zhilan gripped the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding the crash barrier. The violent jolt threw Ye Xinyu forward due to inertia, only to be pulled back by the seatbelt. As she lurched backward, a reacting Hu Mengmeng embraced her, acting as a buffer.

“Xinyu, are you alright?” Huo Zhilan asked, steadying the car’s trajectory, looking at Ye Xinyu in the back seat.

Hu Mengmeng had already released her bloodline, touching Ye Xinyu’s abdomen to sense the baby. The little one’s fluctuations were just a bit faster, temporarily fine.

“Aunt Lan, I’m fine. There are demons, more than one, they’re gnawing rabbits!” Ye Xinyu frowned.

Outside, five or six grey rabbits the size of German Shepherds, with long, sharp incisors and large ears, charged their car with bloodshot eyes, fearlessly.

Ye Xinyu and Huo Zhilan were heading towards the Ye family’s old residence, so the road they were on was relatively secluded. There were no other vehicles in this area, and the several enormous rabbits were ramming into the car like mad.

They were incredibly fast. Even though Huo Zhilan accelerated, they caught up. One jumped onto the roof, banging loudly, causing the car to shake.

“Aunt Lan, stop the car! Since you don’t hunt demons or kill demons, I will! These are gnawing rabbits without intelligence. They’re faster than sports cars. If they keep ramming us like this, we’ll all die. If we stop and they surround us, breaking the windows and doors, if we don’t kill them, we’ll be bitten until there’s nothing left but bones!” Ye Xinyu said with a frown, taking a long box from under the back seat. Inside was the Demon Slaying Sword.

As Huo Zhilan stopped the car, its speed decreased, and the rabbits chasing behind also caught up. For a moment, the outside of the car was filled with loud thuds and creaking sounds, making it feel like the car would fall apart at any moment.

Ye Xinyu could sense the demons outside, and Hu Mengmeng could naturally sense them too. A black aura billowed, ferocious and menacing. Hearing what Ye Xinyu said, Hu Mengmeng held her down.

How could she let Ye Xinyu, pregnant, fight against several such ferocious demons!

She had just said she wouldn’t harm her own kind, but looking at those big rabbits with fierce, vacant eyes, feeling like they would devour them alive, Hu Mengmeng didn’t want to acknowledge them as her own kind.

At this moment, she couldn’t care about going back on her word.

“I’ll do it!” Hu Mengmeng said, without saying much more, she slammed open the door on her side, knocking away the gnawing rabbit that was clawing at it.

Getting out and closing the door, Hu Mengmeng pulled down a rabbit from the roof.

Although it was her first time facing so many ferocious demons, Hu Mengmeng didn’t feel any fear. On the contrary, she felt somewhat excited, and her eyes glowed with a red light.

Rabbits were, after all, food for foxes.

Hu Mengmeng released her fox demon aura. The gnawing rabbits seemed frightened and took a few steps back, then bared their teeth and charged again. Hu Mengmeng’s claws grew sharp nails, and she jumped up, striking one with each paw.

These were just some low-level demons without intelligence, naturally ferocious.

However, they had their advantages: agile reactions, fast speed, and fearlessness in the face of death.

But they had encountered the fox demon Hu Mengmeng, who was faster in reaction, had higher cultivation, and naturally greater strength. Several lunged at Hu Mengmeng, but she dodged quickly and nimbly, avoiding their attacks and landing a claw strike on each of them.

These rabbits were like madmen, unafraid of death, and charged again. Hu Mengmeng could only snap one neck at a time. In no time, they were all lying on the ground, unable to move.

Ye Xinyu put away the few talismans in her hand after Hu Mengmeng took down the last gnawing rabbit.

Outside the car window, the person who had just firmly stated she wouldn’t harm her own kind now looked like a natural hunter, accurately, quickly, and decisively finishing off several small demons.

Were demons indeed born for battle?

Huo Zhilan watched in stunned silence.

Earlier, seeing Hu Mengmeng in their rented house, she was still a well-behaved and cute little girl. She hadn’t changed when they came out either. She hadn’t expected that the real fox demon form would be like this – her figure, appearance, and combat power truly had the look of a fox spirit.

This combat strength was a pity not to recruit into the Ye family. In the future, she could help Ye Xinyu, so Ye Xinyu wouldn’t be so tired, and it wouldn’t be a waste of Ye Xinyu giving her primordial yin.

While Huo Zhilan was pondering, Hu Mengmeng took down the last one. Instead of getting into the car, she tilted her ear, listening to the surroundings. After a moment, she picked up a gnawing rabbit from the ground and suddenly threw it in one direction. A larger gnawing rabbit in that direction leaped away and ran off along the roadside slope.

Hu Mengmeng seemed to have developed a bloodlust. She sprang out and chased after it, two or three times faster than the big rabbit. With a few long leaps, she landed on the rabbit’s back. The rabbit, as big as a calf, thrashed wildly, trying to shake off Hu Mengmeng, letting out a beastly roar. Its sharp incisors opened and closed frantically, trying to bite Hu Mengmeng.

This didn’t look like a rabbit at all; it was more ferocious than a lion or leopard.

Hu Mengmeng grabbed its neck from behind and punched the back of its head several times with force. It let out a few miserable cries and then went silent.

A red light flashed in Hu Mengmeng’s eyes, and she jumped up from the hillside, carrying the dead rabbit.

Ye Xinyu watched in astonishment. She was even wary of these rabbits. They were strong and fast. Without the assistance of formations and talismans, they would definitely have gotten away from her.

“How could these little demons appear in human territory?” Hu Mengmeng asked, carrying the rabbit back and throwing it in front of Ye Xinyu’s car as Ye Xinyu got out.

“I’m afraid someone did this intentionally. A large-scale attack on humans with a clear target isn’t something these unintelligent little demons would do. This big one has a bit of intelligence; it’s probably the leader. It was aimed at me,” Ye Xinyu said, her face darkening.

“Who is it?” Hu Mengmeng asked.

“Enemies of the Ye family, both human and demon. I can’t say for sure right now. I don’t know if anyone noticed my pregnancy. Regardless, someone should know I’m injured. They want to take my life while I’m vulnerable. Thank you for today,” Ye Xinyu said.

Hu Mengmeng’s expression was a bit unpleasant.

She was supposed to protect Ye Xinyu and the baby in her belly. Now that demons and bad people had come, how could she not protect them?

“Xinyu, I’ve called people to come and collect these gnawing rabbits. They’re too big to be seen by people,” Huo Zhilan said, getting out of the car.

“Yes, they need to be collected quickly. Six in total, that’s quite a large operation,” Ye Xinyu said.

“What are you going to do with these rabbits?” Hu Mengmeng asked, thinking of something.

“One will be sent to the Ye family’s research institute, another to the government, and the rest will be sold to people from the Talisman Sect or the Artifact Sect. They can use the demons’ fur and bl00d,” Huo Zhilan said.

“Keep this big rabbit. It’s full of spiritual energy and can help replenish Ye Xinyu’s body,” Hu Mengmeng said.

“What?! Eat rabbits?” Ye Xinyu looked at Hu Mengmeng, somewhat incredulous.

“Eat rabbit meat, drink rabbit bone soup. It’s good for fetal development,” Hu Mengmeng said.

“I don’t eat demons!” Ye Xinyu waved her hand. She had killed so many demons but never ate them.

“Why not? Are you a vegetarian? Don’t you eat meat?” Hu Mengmeng asked.

“No, demons eat humans, but humans don’t eat demons. After spiritual energy is absorbed and transformed by demons, it becomes violent and is no longer the original spiritual energy. It’s not good for the human body. Moreover, only raw spiritual energy is more abundant. After cooking, the spiritual energy almost disappears, so eating it is meaningless. Most demon meat has a very strong fishy, it’s better to eat ordinary animal meat,” Ye Xinyu said.

Eating demons always felt a bit disgusting.

“Don’t worry, I know how to cook it, and my mom should know too. She ate these things when she was pregnant with me. This kind of gnawing demon, with fur and similar to foxes, is a great supplement for the cub in your belly. It’s like a good thing delivered right to our door. My fetal stabilization can only guarantee the supply of spiritual energy, but it can’t guarantee the supply of nutrients. If you don’t eat it, the little one might be malnourished. Some nutrients can’t be provided by ordinary animals,” Hu Mengmeng said.

“…” Ye Xinyu wanted to refuse, but thinking of the child in her belly, she opened her mouth but didn’t refuse.

“People are coming. Pile the rabbits next to the car to cover them up. Let’s get in the car first,” Ye Xinyu said, frowning.

Cars were coming in the distance. The three of them got into the car.

Hu Mengmeng pulled the rabbit over and also got into the car.

Hu Mengmeng had a bit of a bloody smell on her, and her clothes were stained with some bl00d.

She hadn’t felt much outside, but once inside the car, Ye Xinyu covered her mouth, feeling a bit nauseous.

“I’ll go out,” Hu Mengmeng said.

“No need, I’ll go out. My people will be here soon. Take off your clothes and wear mine for now,” Ye Xinyu waved her hand, giving Hu Mengmeng a set of her spare sportswear, and then went out herself.

“Xinyu, what are you going to do?” Huo Zhilan asked Ye Xinyu outside.

“Leave the biggest one at the villa in Maple Garden and see how she handles it,” Ye Xinyu said, frowning.

Thinking about eating gnawing rabbits gave her a feeling like eating monkey brains or pig brains, she couldn’t bring herself to eat it.

But Hu Mengmeng had also said that the little one in her belly needed supplements. What if it became malnourished if she didn’t eat?

The people Huo Zhilan called arrived in about ten minutes, four people who looked very calm. They put the rabbits into the pickup truck, covered them with a tarpaulin, and left.

Ye Xinyu got into the car. Hu Mengmeng had already changed into her sportswear, but her fox spirit bloodline hadn’t been retracted, making the clothes look a bit tight on her.

“Aunt Lan, let’s go to the Yufeng Hotel first and let Hu Mengmeng take a shower and change clothes,” Ye Xinyu said to Huo Zhilan.

Hu Mengmeng was going to meet her grandfather, so she needed to be dressed properly.

“What size are you when you’re in human form?” Huo Zhilan asked Hu Mengmeng as she drove towards the hotel.

“Height 1.74 meters, bust, waist, hips are…” Hu Mengmeng said. She certainly couldn’t release her fox spirit bloodline when meeting Ye Xinyu’s grandfather.

Hu Mengmeng gave her measurements, and Ye Xinyu opened her phone and showed Hu Mengmeng a piece of clothing.

“Is this outfit okay?” Ye Xinyu asked Hu Mengmeng.

“Isn’t it too pink? Anything I wear will be fine,” Hu Mengmeng said, looking at the clothes Ye Xinyu had chosen. She liked seeing other girls wear cute pink clothes, but she herself hadn’t worn them much.

“You’re going to meet Grandpa, so naturally you have to dress a bit younger. Otherwise, he’ll be very fierce,” Ye Xinyu said.

“Uh, okay then,” Hu Mengmeng nodded.

Ye Xinyu ordered that outfit for Hu Mengmeng.

“Hu Mengmeng, send your bank account number to Aunt Lan,” Ye Xinyu said to Hu Mengmeng after they finished talking about clothes.

“Why do you need my bank account?” Hu Mengmeng asked.

“It’s like this. Didn’t you just kill six demons? One is kept for Xinyu, and the rest will be sold, and there will be income. This time it’s all your credit, so naturally the money will be transferred to you,” Huo Zhilan, who was driving in the front, said.

“How much money could that be?” Hu Mengmeng asked.

“Six demons. If reported to the government, based on their combat power and destructive power, the smaller ones are 50,000 each, and the big one is 100,000. Selling to the Talisman Sect or the Artifact Sect could be higher, the smaller ones could sell for 70,000 or 80,000, and the big one could even be 150,000,” Huo Zhilan said, looking at Hu Mengmeng’s expression in the rearview mirror.

“So much!” Hu Mengmeng was stunned.

“It’s not much. These are just small demons. Demon hunters can handle these demons themselves each time they take on a commission. If it’s a government commission, the best option is naturally to sell to the government, and they will also give demon hunters points. Demon hunting is a high-risk, high-income profession,” Huo Zhilan said.

“You saw it too, not all demons are good. For example, these demons, in human society, are very dangerous. If they rush into crowded places, who knows how many people would die. Demon hunters are here to maintain the stability and peace of the human world and don’t kill indiscriminately,” Ye Xinyu said slowly.
