Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage (GL) - Chapter 27
Hu Mengmeng looked at Ye Xinyu and Huo Zhilan, not speaking, but her mind was racing.
Hu Mengmeng remained skeptical about whether Ye Xinyu had never killed innocent demons. At least, Ye Xinyu’s pursuit of Tao Tao last time was very strange.
Hu Mengmeng believed she knew best how kind and gentle Tao Tao was, after knowing her for so many years.
Hu Mengmeng didn’t know if Ye Xinyu had recognized Tao Tao that night. Tao Tao was currently staying with her grandmother in the countryside, and Ye Xinyu hadn’t bothered her, possibly because she didn’t know.
So, Hu Mengmeng didn’t rashly ask Ye Xinyu about Tao Tao.
Regardless of what Ye Xinyu was like, Hu Mengmeng felt that she herself wouldn’t kill indiscriminately.
She had been too absolute earlier. Demons came in all shapes and sizes. Demons themselves also had natural enemies. The law of the jungle was most evident among demons, just as fox demons ate rabbit demons and rat demons, fox demons were also prey for higher-level demons. Demons had different cultivation methods. Some demons cultivated by killing humans or other demons, while some demons were inherently manic and had low intelligence, making peaceful coexistence impossible.
In short, the demon race was not a harmonious whole.
However, for the demon race, demon hunters were their common natural enemy.
Making a demon a demon hunter seemed contradictory, but Hu Mengmeng was a half-demon, with half of her being human, which lessened this antagonism for her.
She had to admit that the conditions for demon hunters that Ye Xinyu and Huo Zhilan mentioned moved her.
Hu Mengmeng had just started college and had previously earned some pocket money by delivering food. Now, she had a child to raise.
Huo Zhilan said that even a low-level rabbit demon was worth 50,000.
The child in Ye Xinyu’s belly needed nutritional supplements and spiritual energy. If Hu Mengmeng wanted to buy these things, they would probably cost even more. If she caught them herself, she could not only earn money but also use the edible ones as nutrients for Ye Xinyu, killing two birds with one stone.
“Are you so eager for me to become a demon hunter?” Hu Mengmeng asked, looking at Ye Xinyu after thinking it over.
“Whether you do it or not is your decision. I’m just stating the facts,” Ye Xinyu said indifferently.
“I’m a demon, how can I be a demon hunter? Can anyone be a demon hunter?” Hu Mengmeng asked.
“Demon hunters also need qualification certificates. If you want to be a demon hunter, there are two ways. One is to be an independent demon hunter, obtain a certificate from the relevant institution. In that case, the institution will issue commissions to you, both private and governmental. For hunted demons, governmental commissions will have their destructive power assessed by the state, and you’ll receive a certain reward. For private commissions, it’s the privately agreed price. To pass the assessment, you’ll definitely need to seal your fox demon bloodline and undergo strict examination. The assessment is very difficult; I only passed it when I was fifteen. An independent demon hunter’s certificate will be on record and will provide some conveniences in many matters, as well as making it easier to obtain commissions online,” Ye Xinyu said.
“What about the other way?” Hu Mengmeng asked after hearing Ye Xinyu’s explanation. If Hu Mengmeng sealed her fox spirit bloodline, she knew her own limitations. Without the physical strength of her demon form and having no skills, she would be no different from an ordinary human.
“The other way is to be affiliated with a hidden sect or individual with demon hunting qualifications. For example, someone like me who has a demon hunting license can have you as an assistant. Also, the Ye family belongs to the Sword Sect within the hidden sects. There are some people under the sect who may not have individual demon hunter qualifications but are under the Ye family’s supervision and leadership. Participating in the Ye family’s demon hunting operations will also have corresponding rewards,” Ye Xinyu said.
“I don’t want to be affiliated with anyone. You said the Ye family has enemies, and you can’t use your spiritual power right now. Before the child is born, I will do my best to protect you. If any ill-intentioned demons come, I will naturally deal with them. If the Ye family has any commissions, you can also let me do them. I’ll temporarily be under your name, but it’s just temporary, and you can’t order me around,” Hu Mengmeng said.
“These can all be put in the prenuptial agreement. But with your current strength, it’s far from enough. Those gnawing rabbits just now were the lowest level. You could deal with them by relying on your fox instincts. Some higher-level ones are much harder to deal with. If you really are under the Ye family’s name to hunt demons during this period, you’ll need to learn some things from me,” Ye Xinyu said.
Hu Mengmeng saying this was much better than her previous resolute refusal to touch demons. Temporarily being under the Ye family’s name was acceptable. Ye Xinyu didn’t negotiate further.
With Hu Mengmeng taking on commissions, the government’s commissions wouldn’t stop, and they would still continue to help the Ye family find Ye Xinyu’s mother.
Although the Ye family had some talent reserves, apart from Ye Xinyu and her grandfather, the rest were only at a beginner level. Hu Mengmeng’s current strength was already close to Ye Xinyu’s peak, and in her demon form, her physical qualities were even stronger.
“Okay, then thank you,” Hu Mengmeng said.
“You’re welcome. If you help the Ye family with commissions, the Ye family will naturally not treat you badly. Send your account number to Aunt Lan; she will settle your payments in the future,” Ye Xinyu said.
Hu Mengmeng sent her account number to Huo Zhilan, and they reached an agreement.
Ye Xinyu didn’t talk to Hu Mengmeng anymore. Once the fox spirit took over, Hu Mengmeng became even more beautiful and enchanting, her whole being exuding shrewdness, with a calculating look. Even though Ye Xinyu’s body strongly expressed a desire to get closer to her, Ye Xinyu’s face maintained a faint, aloof coolness.
Hu Mengmeng wouldn’t get close to Ye Xinyu unless Ye Xinyu showed discomfort, forcing herself to look outside, avoiding Ye Xinyu’s cold face that lacked any smile.
“We’ve arrived at the hotel. Retract your fox spirit bloodline, and I’ll take you to the hotel room to take a shower and change clothes,” Ye Xinyu said to Hu Mengmeng as the car arrived at a hotel.
Hu Mengmeng retracted her fox spirit bloodline in the car, and her clothes visibly shrank, although the top still looked a bit loose.
After retracting her bloodline, Hu Mengmeng instantly broke out in goosebumps.
The ferocity with which she had killed the rabbits earlier made her feel terrified upon reflection. The rabbits themselves were also extremely disgusting to think about.
It was too scary!
If those rabbit teeth had really bitten her, they would have made holes in her in an instant!
Ye Xinyu looked at the obvious horror in Hu Mengmeng’s eyes after her transformation. Her body had shrunk, and her shoulders were hunched.
Ye Xinyu found it somewhat amusing.
It was like two different people with and without the bloodline.
Ye Xinyu took Hu Mengmeng into the hotel. The hotel belonged to the Ye family, and Ye Xinyu had a regular room. Ye Xinyu directly took her to the room.
Hu Mengmeng went to shower, and Ye Xinyu also went to another bathroom to shower and wash away the bloodstains on her body.
***
In a high-end villa district not far from Ye Xinyu and the others in Fengcheng, a man angrily smashed the ashtray on the table.
“Wasn’t Ye Xinyu injured? How could she still kill so many gnawing rabbits! What did you see!” the man said angrily. It was Ou Shixing from the Longcheng Ou family, whom Ye Xinyu had encountered before.
“Young Master Ou, Ye Xinyu was indeed injured and taken away by the ambulance that day. Today, she didn’t act herself, but there was a strange person beside her. Their movements were very agile, and their jumping ability and speed were even stronger than the gnawing rabbits,” a myna bird standing on a clothes rack on the side said.
“Useless trash! When did Ye Xinyu get such a powerful helper? It’s been so long, and you still can’t deal with her! You continue to keep an eye on them. I’ll send a few stronger demons to try again. The hidden sect gathering is almost here. Ye Xinyu and the Ye family must be taken care of as soon as possible!” Ou Shixing snorted coldly, a fierce look in his eyes.
The myna bird flapped its wings and flew out.
***
Ye Xinyu came out of the bathroom. The clothes she had ordered had arrived.
“These are the clothes I ordered for you. They’ve been dry-cleaned and ironed. Try them on. If they don’t fit, we can exchange them,” Ye Xinyu said, handing a bag to Hu Mengmeng, who came out of the shower wearing a bathrobe.
Hu Mengmeng took the bag and went to the room, taking out the clothes. They were well-made and had a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Hu Mengmeng tried on the clothes, and they fit perfectly according to the measurements she had given.
The top was a pink babydoll collar with lotus leaf sleeves, adorned with small pearls on the sleeves and collar. The skirt was a white pleated half-skirt, paired with flat single shoes, pink with rhinestones, and a pink tassel bag.
Putting this set together, Hu Mengmeng looked at herself in the mirror and felt a bit sweet even without smiling.
Hu Mengmeng had never dressed like this before. She had to admit, it looked quite good.
Hu Mengmeng came out of the room. Ye Xinyu outside had also changed clothes and was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone.
Ye Xinyu’s outfit looked slightly more mature: a silk white shirt with black wide-leg pants, her hair tied in a low ponytail, revealing her forehead without bangs, making her look even more refined, a mature style with a hint of coldness.
Hu Mengmeng looked at her, stunned, and her face instantly turned red.
Ye Xinyu looked like a model who had stepped out of a magazine.
Ye Xinyu saw Hu Mengmeng come out, stood up, and the two went out together.
At this moment, contrasting their heights, Ye Xinyu still looked a bit taller. Their styles were completely different, yet they looked inexplicably well-matched.
Huo Zhilan had changed to another car, which smelled of flowers. Ye Xinyu sat down and finally felt a bit more comfortable.
Hu Mengmeng sat in the car feeling a bit uneasy. The Ye family was the Sword Sect, were they all sword users?
She wondered what Ye Xinyu’s grandfather was like. If he knew what had happened between her and Ye Xinyu, would he stab her with a sword?
About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the Ye family’s old residence, a traditional Chinese-style building with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and winding corridors, resembling a traditional ink wash painting, full of ancient charm.
The car couldn’t go in further after a while, and they had to walk.
“When you see my grandfather later, just call him Grandpa along with me. You don’t need to act in any particular way, just be yourself. The main thing is to suppress your fox demon bloodline and not let it show,” Ye Xinyu whispered before getting out of the car.
Hu Mengmeng swallowed and followed Ye Xinyu out of the car.
Ye Xinyu led Hu Mengmeng through the covered walkway to a waterside pavilion, first asking Hu Mengmeng to sit and wait while she asked the housekeeper to find her grandfather.
Ye Xinyu’s grandfather, Ye Shouting, was 72 years old. He had been injured while hunting demons, and demon poison had entered his body, causing his legs to become disabled, forcing him to rely on a wheelchair. He had few hobbies, mainly raising goldfish and turtles for entertainment.
When Ye Xinyu arrived, he was feeding the goldfish.
As Ye Xinyu approached, Ye Shouting looked up at her, his expression changing from surprise to anger.
“What’s going on?!” Ye Shouting asked, his voice hoarse and old.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I met a junior classmate at school, and I quite liked her. That day, my old injury flared up, and I missed Mom a bit, so I drank some wine. Then she came to see me, and I ended up being with her,” Ye Xinyu said, a slight look of guilt on her face.
Ye Shouting looked at Ye Xinyu in disbelief, opening his mouth as if to say something, but he was so angry he couldn’t speak, starting to breathe heavily and cough. Ye Xinyu hurriedly patted his back.
“You… our Ye family is relying on you now, and you… do you want the Ye family to be eaten until not even bones are left!” Ye Shouting pushed Ye Xinyu’s hand away and heavily slapped the armrest of his wheelchair, saying angrily.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I still have 70 to 80% of my cultivation left, and I can still continue to hunt demons,” Ye Xinyu said, lowering her head in apology.
Ye Shouting was so angry he didn’t speak, only breathing heavily.
“Grandpa, I brought that girl with me today. Since that girl and I have already been intimate, I want to get a marriage certificate and marry her. She absorbed my primordial yin and has some talent. I will nurture her as well,” Ye Xinyu said softly, looking at Ye Shouting.
“Take me to see her,” Ye Shouting said heavily after a long while.
Ye Xinyu pushed the wheelchair towards the waterside pavilion where Hu Mengmeng was waiting.
Ye Shouting didn’t doubt whether Ye Xinyu was lying for the time being, because Ye Xinyu had always been very obedient and would never lie to him.
Now that Ye Xinyu had brought the little girl she was with, whether that girl had spiritual energy was something that could be seen at a glance.
