Zhu Bo's stomach was not very good, and he looked constipated early in the morning. Lu Bei didn't want to delay him, so he opened the small door in the backyard and walked towards the woods on the back mountain.
According to the land deed, Sanqing Peak belongs to Yuhua Sect, so today he not only has to catch the thief, but also has to collect rent.
After searching in the forest for half an hour, Lu Bei found a fox hole next to a mound.
He had never seen a fox hole, but seeing three little foxes playing and fighting at the entrance of the hole, he thought it must be a fox hole.
It can’t be said to be small. After not seeing it for three months, it has grown bigger and its hair is shinier.
"There are only three. Where are the other two?" Lu Bei squatted in the grass. He remembered clearly that the largest little fox demon had awakened its intelligence and could use magic to scare people.
Just as I was thinking about it, another little fox came out from the bushes, shook its head and squeezed next to its little friend, and proudly put down the mushroom in its mouth.
The wild mushrooms were brightly colored, with bright red caps on their small white stems, leaving Lu Bei speechless.
As the saying goes: Red umbrella, white pole, lie down on the board after eating.
Although wild delicacies are delicious and have health value, their toxicity is very confusing. Never eat them before you can clearly identify them.
Lu Bei didn't dare to guarantee that the little red mushroom was poisonous, and similarly, he didn't dare to guarantee that it was not poisonous. He took out a Spirit-awakening Pill and threw it at the four little foxes that were cheering and jumping around the red umbrella.
Qi Ling Dan fell from the sky. The little foxes were startled at first, and then their eyes moved back and forth between Hong San San and Qi Ling Dan, and finally they all pounced on Qi Ling Dan.
In the bushes, Lu Bei's mouth curled up slightly. As he expected, between the Qi Ling Pill and the poisonous mushroom, wild animals also knew how to choose for this question.
However, the little foxes didn't know that this was a multiple-choice question, and they decided to take them all.
While Lu Bei was secretly delighted, the little foxes took the Qiling Pill and took the Red Umbrella into the cave before returning to it.
"Ah, this..."
Lu Bei scratched his head, stood up, and quickly walked towards the fox cave: "It's not a bad thing. At least the solution is very clear, smarter than I thought."
At the entrance of the cave, a slightly larger fox ran out in a hurry. The little fox demon, who had not been seen for a long time, was so scared when he saw his old acquaintance Lu Bei that he turned around and went back.
"Hey, you-san, I know you can understand human language. Just now, someone else in your family ate poisonous mushrooms. It's important to save the fox. Bring it out quickly."
"Come out quickly, I just want to save it, I have no other thoughts."
“I’m a good person!!”
"If you don't come out, I'll start digging!"
Lu Bei stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted for a long time. Seeing that the little fox demon didn't say a word, he suddenly realized that the other party chose to acquiesce because it couldn't speak.
After thinking about the reason, Lu Bei secretly regretted that he had wasted so much time even though the tip was so obvious. Without saying a word, he took out the shovel from his Qiankun bag.
I just bought it yesterday and it hasn’t even seen any dirt yet!
With a swing of the shovel, the cave burst into a noisy sound. Lu Beiping concentrated and looked around to prevent the cunning fox from burrowing in three places.
With two shovels, a fiery red shadow emerged from the cave. The little fox demon was holding a little fox in its mouth and staring at Lu Bei in a vigilant posture.
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows. Seeing the little fox's limbs twitching, he threw away the shovel and threatened, "Really? I told you it ate poisonous mushrooms, but you refused to listen. Now it's well, but you missed the best time for treatment. It will be useless even after it's cured."
The little fox demon had an alert look in his eyes, and judging from his cautious attitude, he most likely suspected that the person who poisoned him was Lu Bei.
"What are you still standing there for? Put it down. I'll detoxify it."
"… "
The little fox demon understood human language. It put the poisoned little fox down, took two steps back, and bowed for help.
Lu Bei took a few steps forward and squatted down. He took out a detoxification pill, dissolved it in clean water, and poured it into the little fox's mouth bit by bit.
The effect of the medicine is quite good. The detoxification pill cannot deal with She Xuan's unique poison, but it can still torment the red umbrella in the mountains. In just a moment, the little fox breathed smoothly and fell asleep with a snore.
After finishing these, Lu Bei politely returned to his original position, raised his hand, and signaled the little fox demon to carry it back to the cave.
Seeing this, the little fox demon's eyes lost some of their vigilance and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
However, just as it picked up the little fox, a porcelain bottle fell from Lu Bei's arms and broke into pieces. A dozen fragrant Qiling Pills rolled out, and the nearest one stopped directly at the feet of the little fox demon.
Just lower your head and eat it.
"Sorry, I've been refining pills recently and I have too much of this stuff to put. I'm tired of eating it as a meal. If you're hungry, take this to quench your thirst."
Lu Bei waved his hands and sighed, "Speaking of which, these little guys are really a headache. They ate poisonous grass today, fell into a trap tomorrow, and who knows what will happen the day after tomorrow. If they could open their spiritual intelligence earlier, I think they would definitely grow up safely."
The little fox demon's body trembled, and it looked at the kind-faced Lu Bei, then at the Qi Ling Dan at its feet. It was unable to move for a moment and fell into a long silence.
"You don't know how to choose, do you?"
Lu Bei chuckled: "How to choose is indeed a difficult problem, but whether it is willingness or crisis, it is not absolute. If you don't know how to choose, I will help you choose. As for whether it is right or wrong, I will not judge. After a few years, you can make your own judgment."
After saying that, the skill "Blood Rage" was activated. Under the powerful deterrence, the little fox demon instantly wailed and fell down. When he came to his senses, Lu Bei had grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up.
"Come with me. I can't say anything else, but food and accommodation will be provided, and employment will be assigned. From now on, you will eat and drink the best food, and you will all be little princesses." Lu Bei said, and glanced away from the fox's tail.
"Oh, you are really a little princess. Hey, this one too."
He didn't know much about foxes, but all mammals should be similar, and you can tell the male and female by looking at the little bell.
Wonderful!
Lu Bei's eyes lit up. Cute boys are precious, but cuteness is worthless compared to sexiness. Female fox demons are better.
The true face was exposed before three sentences were finished. The little fox demon struggled fiercely, but Lu Bei didn't care. He held a fox in each hand and said as he walked, "Don't struggle. As long as you obey me, I will ensure that your family will have full spiritual wisdom. Not only that, I will also take care of your transformation and cultivation in the future."
The little fox demon's struggle was not as fierce as it was at the beginning, but she was still very resistant.
"Think about the four of them. They are so ignorant that they will die in the mouths of wild beasts sooner or later. Even if you can take care of them for their entire lives, they are still foolish creatures who eat raw flesh and blood. Their ten-year life span will end in the blink of an eye. How sad."
Noticing that the little fox demon's struggle was gradually weakening, Lu Bei continued, "If they were transformed into humans, everything would be different. The world outside is huge and beautiful. If you don't want to go see it, that's fine. But if they live in a dark and damp cave all their lives, snatching bloody rats and bugs for food, then you're wrong."
The little fox demon let out a mournful cry, lowered its head and tail, and completely stopped resisting.
Lu Bei raised the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking, "It's done!", holding a little fox in each hand, he strode towards Yuhua Gate.
Behind him, three little foxes followed closely, following the little fox demon and were unwilling to leave.
One bottle of Qiling Pill in exchange for five little foxes, this is a good deal.
…
In the backyard, Zhu Bo saw Lu Bei bringing back a litter of foxes and keeping them next to the master's bedroom. He shook his head repeatedly, not knowing what to say.
After Lu Bei finished his work, he took two steps forward, clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
"Brother Bo, what can I do for you?"
"Brother Lu, what are you doing..."
Zhu Bo pointed at the alert little fox demon and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this fox has already awakened its spiritual intelligence. If it continues to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will be able to transform into a human, right?"
"That's right, but the spiritual energy in Sanqing Peak is scarce. If they want to transform, I have to spend a lot of money on elixirs."
Lu Bei counted on his fingers and said, "When I grow up, not to mention the need for cultivation, the daily expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation will be a huge expense. If you add the money for rouge and powder..."
"Wait, I didn't say that."
Zhu Bo interrupted and got to the point: "Brother Lu, don't say I didn't remind you, raising a demon pet for fun is illegal. According to Wu Zhou law, the heaviest punishment is exile to the frontier."
The Wu Zhou law stipulates that any monster or creature, once it awakens its intelligence and transforms into a human, can be registered in the Wu Zhou household register, and all its rights and obligations are the same as those of the Wu Zhou human race.
Why this is so is a historical question. Thousands and tens of thousands of years ago, the laws of human countries did not protect the demon race. The young demon race that had just transformed was quite miserable. Not only were they deprived of the qualifications to practice, they were also sold as commodities, and their social status was equivalent to that of livestock.
At that time, humans and demons were hostile to each other, and the status of human demon cultivators was not very good. They were at the bottom of the cultivation world and could only barely stick together for warmth, but could not change the overall situation.
It wasn't until the ** descended from the sky that a generation of Demon King rose up strongly and established the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons at the extension of the spiritual vein of Buzhou Mountain. He expanded the territory and laid a foundation for eternity. No one could refute it with physical persuasion. Only then did the human country recognize the status of the new demon race in the country.
As time passed, the demon cultivators gradually rose. Human countries tasted the benefits brought by the demon race and gradually paid more attention to the demon race and demon cultivators in their territory. The status of the new demon race was fundamentally changed.
From another perspective, the closer a human country is to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the higher the status of the demon race and demon cultivators. Wu Zhou is neither close nor far, and its basic base is Taoist cultivators. It is impossible for the demon race to enter the upper class here based on their bloodline. You are given a sufficiently equal status, but if you want to continue to climb up, it depends on how much effort you put in.
To put it bluntly, only with strength can you have a status in the world.
Lu Bei knew that there was such a rule in Wu Zhou's law, and he looked at Zhu Bo with a strange expression: "Brother Bo, who do you think I am? Am I a lecherous person?"
"What, you're not?"
Zhu Bo was shocked, and after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not the case.
When they were at Dasheng Pass, Zhu Kui tried several times to lure Lu Bei to Yunshui Tower to discuss business, but was blocked by Lu Bei with various excuses.
The evidence is conclusive. This man is a bit mean and shameless, but he can still control himself when it comes to women.
"Brother Lu, excuse my curiosity, but if you don't like them, why do you spend money to support these vixens? It's thankless and meaningless."
I don't like it, but the players do!
Perhaps LSP players can refuse the sales pitch of a vixen, but there is no way they can refuse the sales pitch of a group of vixens. Add a snake spirit to the mix, and they’re bound to get rich overnight.
Lu Bei muttered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "I've said it before, dear brother, I'm planning to enter the business world and start a small business. I'm going to raise a few beautiful fox fairies as a front to attract customers."
“It’s not a business like Yunshuilou, right?” Zhu Bo was overjoyed. The Zhu brothers loved doing business the most. He was the one who made the decision. He not only wanted to invest in the business, but also wanted to invest in the shares.
"Brother, you think too much. I just sell pills, raw materials for refining equipment, etc. It's a legitimate business."
"I see..."
Zhu Bo curled his lips. If you want to talk about this, he will feel sleepy.
