Chapter 1176 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 21
Baili Qing'er, who was trying her best to explain to Nangong Yu, also paused slightly and looked towards Ling Yao's back, which had already walked away.
After Lingyao stepped out of the restaurant, she used a teleportation talisman to speed up her journey with the bound spirit to the cave that she now almost completely controlled.
When Lingyao arrived at the destination, she took out the bag. Before she could even open it, the little snake rushed out.
It transforms into human form.
It's unclear whether the spirit binding him intentionally controlled it or if this was simply his natural growth rate.
The extent of his human form transformation was similar to the rate at which Lingyao grew.
Except that he grew a little faster than usual.
He looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
He was wearing a black robe that Lingyao had bought for him before, with black lotus flowers with gold trim that he liked, which were faintly visible on the hem. This was something that Lingyao had specially asked the shopkeeper to add to it for him.
After he came out, he stood on the small hill at the highest point of the bamboo forest, with his hands behind his back.
Facing the bamboo forest where the wind rustles through the leaves, her black hair, tied up with a hair ornament, swayed.
On his fair and handsome face, his eyes were bright and fierce.
He turned his back to Lingyao, puffing out his cheeks, and didn't say a word.
Seeing him like that, Lingyao really wanted to ask him a question.
What's wrong now, my dear lady?
But she didn't ask that question.
He went straight up and turned his stiff, upright shoulders around.
It took a couple of twists to turn the stubborn binding around.
"It's just a question, what's there to get angry about?"
I don’t know, I’m scared.
The clerk's eyes turned red with anger.
"Is it really just a matter of a few words? How many times has he tried to get close to you before? He even pretended to bump into you a few times at the Demon Hunter Academy!"
"Why can he stand openly by your side while I have to keep hiding? You are clearly my wife!"
Lingyao was dumbfounded. Where in this novel about being bound by fate had it gotten? When did she become his wife?
However, this is not the matter that Lingyao needs to resolve right now.
Instead, we should remind the captors not to take any risks.
"You just tried to rush out, do you know how dangerous that was? How many demon hunters are there in that restaurant?"
Fu Ling scoffed, "Afraid of them?"
“You may not be afraid, but it will be very troublesome. If you make a scene, everyone will know that I have raised a demon. What do you think they will do to the people of Qifang Village?”
Lingyao didn't care about herself and Fuling. If they were discovered, she could simply leave with Fuling.
But the people from Qifang Village can't do that.
Upon hearing this, Fu Ling's anger subsided by half.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his eyelashes drooped.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just don’t like him being close to you. He’s so close to you, what am I to him? I just don’t want to cause you any trouble, so I stay in the bag all day.”
"I only have you, but you have so many other people."
"First it was Fang Shui, then He Qinqin, and now Baili Qing'er and Xie Yuhuai. Why can they all appear with you openly?"
As Fu Ling spoke, her eyes reddened again.
He felt wronged; he didn't want to be here anymore, he didn't want to be in the main county.
Here, he could only hide in the bag, suppressing his demonic aura.
He wanted to go home, he wanted to go back to Qifang Village, even though it was dilapidated and run-down, because there were only him and her there.
She would feed herself fruit, and he could appear with her at will.
Lingyao pulled his hand, drew him close to her, and touched his red eyes.
The cold voice seemed to soften slightly: "I know it won't be long. Once you leave the Demon Hunter Academy, you'll be able to appear on the street openly."
Fu Ling bent down and hugged Ling Yao tightly, his voice full of grievance.
"really?"
Lingyao patted his hair and said confidently, "Of course."
The demonic power of the Fuling has now stabilized, and each of the demon-catching masters who have been promoted to the Earth-level demon-catching master will receive a Soul-Stabilizing Pearl as a reward from the imperial court.
Originally intended for use by demon-catching masters, this Soul-Stabilizing Bead increases their success rate in refining talismans to 80%, and also ensures they won't be possessed by demons.
After all, masters who have reached the Earth-level Demon-Slaying Master level will hold positions in the imperial court. If they are accidentally possessed by a demon, it could very likely cause turmoil in the court.
Lingyao planned to give the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl to Fuling.
The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl is not only useful for demon hunters, but also very useful for demons.
If the demons that can transform into human form don't have enough magical power, they can easily give themselves away.
However, having the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl makes things much easier.
With the demonic power that has gradually stabilized over the years, the demon can transform into human form in the human world. Unless Jing Yuexuan, the current national advisor and the only demon hunter who has entered the Wuji Dao, takes action, he will hardly be noticed.
This Grand Preceptor of the Wuji Dao would not leave seclusion unless demons rose up and wreaked havoc.
After Lingyao told Fuling about this, Fuling was finally satisfied.
He gets angry quickly.
They're quick to back down.
He immediately hugged Lingyao and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I won't do it again."
He added, "Please don't blame me."
It almost made Lingyao laugh again.
It's still a small snake with an ancient style.
Finally, Fu Ling, being particularly obedient, slipped into the pocket first, peeking out with her small eyes to look at Ling Yao.
"Let's go back, you didn't eat much."
So the man and the snake quickly returned to the restaurant.
Because Lingyao used talismans to come and go, the time lost was less than half an hour.
The people at the table were also waiting for Lingyao to return so they could have a meal together, so the food was still plentiful.
However, the table has changed from a four-person table to a six-person table.
Xie Huaiyu ordered several more main dishes for everyone to eat together.
For some reason, Nangong Yu also stayed.
However, during the meal, she and Fang Shui, who was sitting opposite her, kept glaring at each other.
Lingyao didn't dare to glare, so she glared at Fang Shui instead.
Under He Qinqin's influence, Fang Shui's personality has already gone far astray.
He glared back directly at Nangong Yu.
She's not afraid of them at all.
So what if they are young ladies from prestigious families? They still can't compare to Sister Yao Yao in every way!
During the meal, Xie Huaiyu tried to talk to Lingyao several times, but was interrupted by Lingyao suddenly raising her hand to pick up food.
It wasn't until the meal was finished and the group left the restaurant that Xie Huaiyu found a moment to call out to Lingyao.
He took out the bronze mirror that he had prepared beforehand.
This is a bronze mirror that can reveal demons and ward off evil spirits.
If you encounter a monster disguised as a human or other creature, it will reveal its true form as soon as it is reflected in this bronze mirror.
Unless it's a rare, powerful monster.
But only one such demon has appeared over the years, and it is now being guarded by the Imperial Advisor.
