Feng Tian Yue scrutinized the little fox demon again and again, ”Since you did not harm anyone, I will naturally not punish you. However, why do you, a little demon, appear again and again in the paleo-inner-mountain, and also that ghost yaksha?

While waiting for little fox demon to give an explanation, Feng Tian Yue faintly heard Bai Xiang Han mutter. ”Ah, I remember now, I left the Evil Avoiding Pearl in the study of the Sword Pavilion and didn't bring it with me. No wonder I met that ghost girl when I was in the Southern Wing Town.”

Evil Avoidance Bead, female ghost? Feng Tian Yue was startled, so the item that Bai Xiang Han was looking for was the Evil Avoiding Orb? No wonder he wasn't willing to let others do it for him. She must have worried about her face and exposed his weak point of being timid and afraid of evil.

However, before the Evil Repellent Bead left, it had been forgotten in the study room of the Sword Pavilion. It was only now that it realized that there was no one else like this.

Even though he was retorting, Feng Tian Yue still wanted to know the truth behind the matter, so he said: ”So the thing you're looking for is the Evil Avoidance Bead, but what about the ghost girl you're talking about?”

She only knew that in this world, there were immortals, demons, humans, and ghosts.

Bai Xiang Han didn't seem to mind that Feng Tian Yue knew of his secret, because he had already known that she had grasped his weak point of being afraid of evil.

Therefore, he no longer tried to cover up his story: ”Tonight, I met this ghost girl when I was on my way to the Upper Sky. Originally, I planned to slow down my journey and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the various places along the way, but I met this ghost girl in the town of Nanhang. This ghost lady had chased me closely, day and night, and under my helplessness, I had no choice but to abandon my original plan and set out on a faster journey, hoping that after entering the Upper Sky, I would be able to get rid of this ghost girl.”

In other words, if the ghost yaksha had not been chased day and night by this ”ghost girl,” wouldn't this person, who had no sense of time, have to wait for months and a half before he could finally arrive on the continent? Feng Tian Yue felt that she had still underestimated Bai Xiang Han.

”Yes, he's right.” Hearing Bai Xiang Han's words, the little fox eagerly came out to pay her respects, ”That night, I saw the ghost yaksha being revered by demons and wanted to know what she was doing here. Unexpectedly, the moment she saw me, she immediately ran away with her hands behind her head, I knew that I was the one who scared her away.

So that was how it was, Feng Tian Yue finally understood. ghost yaksha was a type of persistent demon. When it comes to its own prey, it would not give up until it had caught up with them.

This also explained why the ghost yaksha risked being discovered and killed by the Spiritual Artist, and kept on appearing at the bottom of the Ancient Spirit Mountain.

Only, why would a monster with such terrifying demonic powers like the ghost yaksha be so afraid of this silly little fox who had no ability to kill or injure it?

”Because of your appearance, the ghost yaksha gave up on pursuing the prey that was about to enter?”

Although the truth of the matter had become reasonable under Bai Xiang Han's and Little Demon Fox's explanation, Feng Tian Yue did not completely let go of the doubt in her heart.

Based on the demonic power she used on the little demon fox to repel the little bastard, he could not even move a hair on the ghost yaksha, much less make it run away while covering its head with its hands.
