After bidding farewell to the demons and walking alone in the forest for less than four hours, Wang Hao suddenly sensed a black cloud sweeping over from the sky behind him.
He raised his Wind and Fire Halberd. Anyone who could ride on clouds, be it a human or a demon, must be at least at the demon level or the Earth Immortal level.
But when the person descended, Wang Hao realized that it was Gu Ruohan.
Her face was still as cold as snow, but Wang Hao could clearly detect a trace of shyness and joy.
"Why are you here?" Wang Hao asked in confusion.
Gu Ruohan walked down from the black cloud gently. Her plain robe fitted her perfectly, but her expression was still cold.
"I haven't left the Myriad Bone Mountain for hundreds of years. Do I need your permission to go out and take a look?”
Wang Hao frowned and asked unnaturally,"Don't tell me you can't bear to part with me?"
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow attacked. Wang Hao saw that the situation was not good and immediately used his hands to block the top of his head, but he was still hit three feet into the ground.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Wang Hao shouted in dissatisfaction.
Gu Ruohan gritted his teeth for a long time before he retracted his bone spur. His face clearly showed a hint of embarrassment.
"I told you, I just want to go out and take a look!”
"Then why are you following me?"
Wang Hao had just gotten up when he asked again. As soon as he said that, he immediately had a bad feeling.
"Bang!"
As expected, the bone spike once again pushed Wang Hao three feet into the ground.
"I said that's enough!"
Wang Hao had no choice but to admit defeat.
"I don't know when I'll be back. Aren't you afraid that those little demons of Myriad Bone Mountain will be snatched away by others?”
Gu Ruohan did not respond to Wang Hao's words at all. He just walked forward leisurely.
" This woman..." Wang Hao shook his head and followed her.
……
Six days had passed. Along the way, they passed by many human towns.
The two of them tried to avoid attracting the attention of ordinary people to avoid unnecessary trouble. Gu Ruohan was still alright as he was very much like a human.
However, although Wang Hao's scaly monster looked powerful, it was also ferocious. If he was discovered, he would scare a few people to death.
The last city was called Changle Harbor. It was backed by three mountains and in front of it was the vast East China Sea.
Wang Hao calculated that if he wanted to cross the mountain and go around, he would probably waste three to four days. He made up his mind and directly decided to pass through the city.
Gu Ruohan was a woman after all, so she was more meticulous. She waited for Wang Hao to steal a few sets of clothes from the courier station outside the city, then sewed and altered them into a large black robe.
The black robe could completely cover Wang Hao's figure. With the hood on, he looked no different from a tall and burly man who was sneaking around.
No matter how sneaky he was, it was better than being discovered as a demon. Wang Hao finished his disguise and prepared to enter the city.
It was almost noon. When they arrived at the city gate, they realized that there was no one on duty. Although the shops around them were open, no one was watching them inside.
The pedestrians on the street had happy expressions on their faces as they hurried in a direction.
"It's time to kill the demon. Everyone, go and watch!”
"Wait for me!"
Wang Hao didn't mind. He walked along the main road, wanting to pass through this small city and enter the East Sea.
As the two of them walked, they realized that there were more and more people coming and going. Not far ahead, there was a commotion, and everyone was shouting,
"Kill it, kill it!"
"My cow is missing. It must have been eaten by this demon!”
F * ck, why did he still walk over? Wang Hao cursed in his heart. He couldn't be blamed when he realized that these people were actually questioning him by the side of the street.
Since they were already here, he and Gu Ruohan looked at each other and decided to take a look.
Relying on his strength that surpassed ordinary people, Wang Hao easily squeezed through the crowd and found a good place to stand with Gu Ruohan.
The surrounding people were about to get angry when they saw Wang Hao's tall and burly body. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with, so they immediately shut their mouths.
In front of the crowd was a high platform made of wood. Although it was said to be used to kill demons, it was actually covered with a pile of dry firewood. It looked like it was going to burn the demon to death.
A demon that was caught by humans was naturally not a powerful one. Wang Hao looked over and saw that the one lying on the firewood pile was actually an old fox!
Name: Hu Fugui
[Race: Red Flame Fox/Low-level Spirit Beast]
[Cultivation: Early stage of Monster Birth Level]
He was dirty and covered in blood. It seemed that he had been beaten up by humans. Now, he was like a candle in the wind. Even if they did not touch him, he probably would not live for long.
"This demon transformed into a human form and roamed the streets, buying low and selling high. He actually earned a huge fortune!”
"Fortunately, Master Xuan Ci passed by this city and made him reveal his true form with one move. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known that the rich man in the city, the head of the Hu family, was actually a demon!”
"Every cent he earns is our hard-earned money! This demon is full of evil and unpardonable. Today at noon, he should be beheaded to scare the demons!”
On the stage, a bureaucrat wearing a tall hat held a document in his hand and read it loudly. The civilians below the stage whispered to each other.
"Tsk, you make it sound so high-sounding, but you're just eyeing Hu Fugui's family property!”
"That's right. Although Hu Fugui is a monster, he hasn't done anything evil all these years!”
"Father, is that Old Master Hu of the Hu family? Why is it a fox!"
"Don't talk, child. This is a monster!”
Wang Hao was secretly surprised when he heard the discussion. This old fox was really bold. He actually transformed into a human and sneaked into the town to do business.
If you say you want to do it, then do it. In a few years, you've actually done it so well. You're a crane in a flock of chickens. The danger of exposing yourself has also multiplied.
" Hahaha…What an evil…full of evil…"
The old fox, who had already returned to his original form on the stage, coughed twice and said intermittently,
"Last year, tsunamis occurred frequently, and the imperial court distributed 700,000 taels of disaster silver. In the end, wasn't it me, a demon filled with evil, who opened my own granary to help the victims?”
"Nonsense!" The one who spoke was Lord Chen. When he heard the old fox's words, his face turned red as if he had been hit on the spot. He flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"Hehe, the commoners naturally know whether it's nonsense or not.”
The old fox turned his head with difficulty and looked at the crowd below. However, he realized that everyone was afraid of Lord Chen's official prestige and did not dare to speak at all.
If he spoke at this moment and was thought to be a demon's accomplice, he would end up in a miserable state.
The old fox was completely disheartened. He did not expect that none of these fellows who had helped him many times would dare to speak up for him.
"It's noon. Light a fire and burn him to death!”Lord Chen impatiently waved the token in his hand and immediately gave the order.
The raging flames rose, and the old fox could no longer move. He did not even have the strength to scream. He could only watch as he was burned to death.
Wang Hao only felt a movement beside him and quickly held it down. He stared at Gu Ruohan, who looked like he wanted to rush up, and said,""What do you want?"
"This fox used to be a subordinate of my Myriad Bone Mountain. He stole my things and escaped.”
Gu Ruohan turned around and said,"
"My subordinates can only die in my hands!”
Wang Hao was stunned. He thought to himself, Your words are too domineering.
"Besides, I can't stand such a scene.”Gu Ruohan was silent for a moment before he added.
Wang Hao scratched his head. He understood that Gu Ruohan was thinking about her own past. She was also forced to her death by others, and she felt the same way.
To Wang Hao, it didn't matter if he saved the fox or not. There was no difference. However, Gu Ruohan's words made him feel uncomfortable.
If he really watched the old fox burn to death, how would he be any different from that scumbag Taoist Liu Yun Lan?
He still pulled Gu Ruohan to the side and pushed the person in front of him away. He pulled his black robe and revealed his true form, shouting,"
"Spare me under the blade…Bah, spare me under the fire!”
