Fox Demon?

Could it be the Three-tailed Fox that runs the hot spring inn?

Su Ziyu's expression showed a hint of surprise, then he said solemnly, "Lead the way!"

Quickly.

In front of Su Ziyu appeared some bamboo cut down by brute force, and in the distance, traces of intense flames burned the ground. Sharp claw marks and traces of lingering hostility made Su Ziyu's spirituality vigilant. He exchanged a glance with Qing Ji and entered the lush bamboo forest.

Boom!

A loud noise came from afar, with stones shattering and flying. Qing Ji slowly opened her white paper umbrella and stepped slightly forward to block in front of Su Ziyu.

"Husband!"

"This demon has become demonized! Such heavy hostility!" Qing Ji said with her delicate brows furrowed and her red lips gently parted.

Two to three hundred meters ahead.

Su Ziyu saw Ashiya Doman again, but now he looked less human, more like a fierce dog crouching on the ground and growling fiercely.

Ashiya Doman's body was covered in thick black fur, his clothes were tattered, and sharp black claws emerged from his hands. His ears turned into furry dog ears, and under his black-red snout were sharp canine teeth, smeared with bits of flesh and blood. He looked like a massive humanoid vicious dog, his size having expanded several times; if standing, he would be estimated over three meters tall.

—— "Spiritual Vision!"

A white spiritual light appeared in Su Ziyu's pupils.

In his vision, the sight of Ashiya Doman changed to the form of a ferociously hostile dog demon, its spirit overlapping with Ashiya's body, while Ashiya's own soul was missing.

It was probably devoured by this dog demon!

Su Ziyu had once seen it completely devour a Ghost General, even diminishing the Source Power Value dropped from the Ghost General upon consumption.

—— "Dog Demon [Demon] [Possession] [Soul Devourer]!"

Unexpectedly, it had three suffixes.

Su Ziyu was slightly startled, then looked over at the Three-tailed Fox standing against the dog demon. She wore a lavish black and white kimono, and where her wooden clogs stepped, faint green fox fire ignited. Her appearance was nearly identical to Su Ziyu's memory, but her demeanor had changed drastically—an indescribable grace and poise. Faced with the ferocious dog demon Ashiya Doman, she kept an elegant smile.

The most noticeable change was her tails; Su Ziyu recalled they were once fiery red, but now they were three white fox tails.

Did she have some adventure during this time?

The Three-tailed Fox was evidently much stronger than the last encounter, possessing the calm confidence of a Great Demon. Upon noticing someone approaching, she turned to Su Ziyu, her brows slightly furrowed, hesitantly saying, "Lord Su?"

She remembered him.

Su Ziyu nodded slightly, then his pupils contracted. Accompanied by a resounding clang, he raised his hand and pointed, "Go!"

A bolt of lightning shot out!

At that moment, the dog demon-possessed Ashiya Doman suddenly lunged forward, spewing deep red flames from his gaping maw, his sharp black claws reaching for the Three-tailed Fox.

Clang!

Though Ashiya retained some human habits, upon seeing Su Ziyu's action, he leaped to evade, then fiercely swiped and deflected the Meteor Longsword. The dog demon's speed was on par with the Inugami once seen, but despite deflecting the Meteor Longsword, electricity shimmered across its body, causing it to twitch and let out a painful yelp, like a vicious dog kicked away.

"Husband."

"Let me handle it." Qing Ji turned to Su Ziyu, bowing slightly and respectfully.

It was rare for Qing Ji to take the initiative to fight today.

Lately, her demeanor was that of an elegant Yamato Nadeshiko, implying Ashiya must have deeply wronged her once.

"Go ahead. Be careful." Su Ziyu thought about it and said, lightly beckoning the Meteor Longsword back to his palm.

Now Ashiya's power rivaled a Great Demon's.

Yet Qing Ji, even before becoming the incarnation of the White Snake, was a Great Demon, and now her depth was unfathomable; even Su Ziyu wasn't sure of victory against her.

A gleam emerged.

Qing Ji vanished, white paper umbrella in hand. Su Ziyu only glimpsed a flash of a slender white snake's tail and a rippling cloud-patterned long skirt. The speed of Qing Ji's White Snake form was astonishing, appearing by Ashiya's right side in an instant. The white paper umbrella turned into a cold beam, piercing his eyes, with ghostly blue flames flickering. Ashiya seemed deeply wary of this fire, leaping to avoid it.

The wind howled.

The white serpent tail swung like a long whip across Ashiya's body, sending him flying dozens of meters, crashing into a rock, even leaving cracks in the stone.

What terrifying power!

Qing Ji usually appeared soft and weak before Su Ziyu; who could imagine her gentle frame held such formidable brute force?

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

The dog demon-possessed Ashiya began to speak, rasping, "It's you! Damn white snake!"

Finishing, Ashiya growled, and around his body emerged various shadowy phantoms. Wisps of dark red flames flickered, further demonizing Ashiya, even turning his face into a dog demon's visage, and his massive body arched, baring teeth at Qing Ji, growling in canine threat.

"I suspected you were strange back then! Didn't expect you'd bite your master today!"

"What a vile dog!"

A slight disdainful smile appeared on Qing Ji's beautiful face, her slender phoenix eyes narrowed, exuding subtle killing intent. Normally, she was an incredibly gentle wife, but Su Ziyu knew her true demeanor well. Now, this poised, mercilessly decisive Qing Ji matched exactly with the one in the True Dream Realm.

The next moment.

Qing Ji's figure arched, accompanied by a surge of howling wind. She vanished in a blink, reappearing before Ashiya and striking again. Only then did Su Ziyu hear a faint rustling sound, followed by a sudden flash of blood and the dog demon's wretched scream. The ghostly blue flames clung and burned, infiltrating its body like a parasitic disease, amplifying its cries.

Su Ziyu stood in a state of trepidation.

He quietly turned away.

The outcome was decided!

If he continued to watch, he feared he'd recall being turned to ash by the 'Fire of the Seven Emotions' in the True Dream Realm.

This woman was terrifying.

Yet she was so beautiful, treated him well, making it painfully blissful, fearing one might unintentionally go too far.
