I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 289: Little Fox Demon

Chapter 289: Little Fox Demon

During these few days, the little boy had been secretly listening to many rumors and news from within the Water Palace of Pang River.

From the conversations between the aquatic maids and guards, he learned a lot of things.

Including the current situation, as well as the feat from a few days ago when his father's sword traveled three thousand miles and the sword aura covered fifteen cities, frightening the demons and causing all the evils to flee.

At this moment, the aquatic beings within the Pang River were discussing it with great admiration and a sense of honor.

After all, that sword was unsheathed within the Water Palace of Pang River.

But the more he understood the towering image of his father in the eyes of outsiders, the more confused and puzzled the little boy became.

Everything that happened within that illusion, though known to be false and a deceitful mirage after waking up.

However, there were some questions that still lingered in the little boy's heart, leaving him unable to untangle the knots.

After days of hesitation and turmoil, he ultimately came before Lu Heng and chose to believe in his own father.

Facing the smiling Lu Heng, the little boy took a deep breath and said,

"Daddy, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Well, Wuyou, please speak," said Lu Heng.

The little boy once again clenched his fists nervously and continuously psyched himself up, before finally speaking up.

"Daddy, you… You said that we shouldn't tolerate or forgive the evil demons, and that we must eradicate them, but… But rumors are going around that you have a Demon Destroyer List here, with all the evil creatures from the Green Hell Cave recorded on it. And that you've allowed the Green Hell Cave to grow stronger so you can eliminate them all in one fell swoop…"

The little boy said with some discomfort, "It would indeed be a good thing to eliminate them all at once. But in the decades that these evil demons have been growing and wreaking havoc, countless innocent people have been harmed by them… This… Even if you can completely wipe out the evil creatures of the Green Hell Cave in the future, those innocent people who were harmed by the demons cannot be brought back to life."

As soon as the little boy spoke up, he mentioned such an incident.

Lu Heng was slightly surprised, but then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Shaking his head, he said, "Who told you I have a Demon Destroyer List? Forget about you not having seen it, even I myself haven't seen it."

Seeing the little boy's extremely shocked expression, Lu Heng shrugged and said, "The existence of the Demon Destroyer List is nothing but a tool of the Lord of All Demons."

"To intimidate the demons and frighten off his subordinates who wanted to escape, he made up this thing. Now that the world knows that Lu Heng has the Demon Destroyer List, the demons in the Green Hell Cave don't dare to run away anymore. They can only be tied to the Lord of All Demons' warship in the Green Hell Cave; if one goes down, they all go down, and if one prospers, they all prosper."

Lu Heng's account left the little boy somewhat confused.

"So, the Demon Destroyer List was fabricated by the Lord of All Demons? But the rumors of the Demon Destroyer List scared the demonic forces and made your reputation spread far and wide, Father…If the Lord of All Demons acts in this way, wouldn't it boost your morale and destroy the glory of the Green Hell Cave itself?" The little boy couldn't understand.

Lu Heng sighed and said, "This is just a desperate measure, and the Lord of All Demons has been pushed to his limit. Otherwise, he would not resort to such extreme measures."

After speaking, Lu Heng looked towards the entrance of the courtyard and smiled, asking, "Does Madam River God have something to attend to?"

At the entrance of the courtyard, Gu Zhou the River God, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood outside.

When Lu Heng spoke, Gu Zhou smiled and said, "To the Wolf God, there is a demon cultivator fox woman outside who claims to be an old friend of the Wolf God, and she wants to see you…I wonder how to deal with this?"

Gu Zhou's words made the little boy next to her suddenly startled, and he instantly threw all the tangled and puzzled questions of the past few days out of his mind.

He looked at Lu Heng with great excitement, knowing that the messenger from the Green Hell Cave had arrived.

Because Lu Heng had previously mentioned that if the Green Hell Cave were to send a messenger, it was very likely to be the fox woman named Su Xiaoxiao…

Having listened to Gu Zhou's words, Lu Heng also couldn't help but be surprised.

"Oh? A demon fox woman wants to see me?" Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I was thinking before that the messenger from the Green Hell Cave should be coming these days…I didn't expect them to actually come…Ha…It seems that the Lord of All Demons really is at the end of his rope."

He smiled and said, "Please let the little fox woman in, I do indeed have some history with her and it's time for us to meet again."

Lu Heng's words made Gu Zhou slightly surprised.

"So the fox woman was actually a messenger from the Green Hell Cave? That's strange, she clearly doesn't have any demonic energy on her…"

Shaking her head with emotion, Gu Zhou bid farewell and went out to greet the fox woman Su Xiaoxiao waiting at the door.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, sat motionless in the courtyard, waiting for the fox woman's arrival with Shen Wuyou and Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai's expression was cold as she calmly walked behind Lu Heng and stood at his side.

The young boy Shen Wuyou, on the other hand, had an excited expression. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Heng hadn't moved, he would have gone out to search for the fox woman already.

They didn't have to wait long either, soon a figure that Lu Heng was familiar with came to the courtyard with the guidance of a mermaid servant.

Inside the Water Palace of Pang River where fish were swimming, the little fox Su Xiaoxiao with pointed fox ears slightly bowed and greeted, saying:

"Hello, the Wolf God and Sister Xiao Ai."

Lu Heng looked her up and down, smiling as he said, "After running away for several years, Xiaoxiao has become even more adorable… So running away can make one's skin better?"

Lu Heng's teasing words caused the serious expression that the little fox was forcibly maintaining to collapse in an instant.

Her face turned red and she became slightly embarrassed, directly too shy to even speak.

Lu Heng then laughed and said, "What? After running away for several years, even though your skin has improved, the price to pay is that you can't even speak properly?"

Lu Heng's words made Su Xiaoxiao extremely embarrassed.

She lowered her head and hesitantly said, "Xiaoxiao left without saying goodbye, and I feel guilty for not living up to Senior Wolf God's guidance and expectations… I am ashamed in my heart, so I am sorry for not daring to speak up."

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "You're too ashamed to even speak when you see me, then if you were to meet Witch Wu Gu, you would be so embarrassed that you'd want to hide in a hole in the ground, wouldn't you?"

This sentence made the little fox girl slightly startled, followed by an uneasy expression.

"Witch Wu Gu…" She raised her head and looked at Lu Heng, asking, "Senior Wolf God, is Witch Wu Gu doing well now?"

Lu Heng sighed and said, "It's good that you still remember to care about her. Witch Wu Gu did put in a lot of effort for you… sigh…"

Speaking thus, Lu Heng said, "But to be honest, I don't know how she's been doing lately. After all, I haven't seen her since we parted ways five years ago."

"I thought she would come to Fire Pass Country to find you, but now there is no news of her in the country. It's possible that you have hidden too well, making it impossible for her to take action."

Lu Heng said, "But if you want to see her, it's actually simple."

Lu Heng looked at the young fox girl in front of him, his gaze calm.

"As long as I release the news that the fox demon Su Xiaoxiao is traveling with me, I believe that it won't be long before Witch Wu Gu comes to see you."

"After all, in her heart, you are the worthy successor who receives the mantle of responsibility."
