794 Fire In The Backyard (1/2)
”Tell me the truth, what the hell are you doing?”
”I'm not kidding you, this is certainly my heart demon.”
”What a joke, there are at least one hundred thousand or eighty thousand 'heart demons' that you played with until they crippled, someone like you will actually have a main heart demon?” Xia Xiahe laughed disdainfully but soon realized that she was wrong. ”Are you serious?”
Poxu said, ”Very serious. You know me, I have always been serious about feelings.”
Xia Xiaohe was silent and did not speak. She thought that her childhood friend was indeed serious about his feelings, but his feelings were distorted. He never liked anyone, only collectibles, or rather turned what he liked into collectibles. The more he liked someone, the more he went through countless preparations, which in the end turned that someone into the so-called shocking collection. She remembered a long time ago, he showed his collection room to the several immortals who had been fighting together with him in the wars as comrades. Some people vomited on the spot… Thus, it was really bad luck for any person that he liked.
However, this had nothing to do with Xia Xiaohe. It didn't matter how abnormal Poxu wanted to be, in any case, he didn't dare make her the object of his perverted desire. And as long as Poxu was useful, he could still be used. This was what she learned from the Immortal King.
To a certain extent, Poxu in his infatuation state was better than he was normally. Because when he was in his normal state, he was too difficult to use. Not to mention the little princess of the Immortal World, even the Immortal King Xia Yu himself sometimes could not order him. When his madness came over him, he basically didn't recognize his own side. Because of this, Immortal King had even put him in the endless immortal prison as many as three times. For an ordinary immortal, as long as they went to the endless prison once, they could forget of ever going out still in the same condition as before. However, Poxu was still alive and kicking even after he went there three times! He did not learn his lesson at all!
On the contrary, whenever he had a heart demon, he became less crazy and more focused, and it became easier to communicate with him… However, after so many years, Poxu rarely had a heart demon anymore. Because the collections in his collection room were so many, few people could raise his interest.
”Who has the bad luck this time?”
Poxu shook his head and said, ”Sorry, can't say it.”
”Oh? You want to keep it a secret from me? Are you afraid I'll snatch it from you?” Xia Xiaohe squinted her eyes and smiled.
”…”
”You are the princess of the immortal world, with endless resources. But I'm not as blessed as you. It's really not easy to have a fancy collection, so I don't want you to rob it from me.”
Xia Xiahe took a deep breath and restrained herself from beating him up. She then coldly said, ”I have several things for you to do, can you do it?”
Poxu immediately nodded and said, ”The matter that little princess handed over to me, I naturally am ready to risk life and limb to fulfill.”
”Tsk, you won't even share your collection with me, what ready to risk life and limb to fulfill?” Xia Xiaohe scoffed at the false pretense act of Poxu and said, ”Moreover, I don't need you to risk life and limb for me. Now our power is not that abundant, so it can't be wasted.”
Poxu was puzzled and asked, ”Our power is not enough? With royal highness and I, I'm afraid we'll sweep this world…”
”Sweep? Did you forget how Fengyue died? Did you forget what happened to Canglan? Forget that there are more than a hundred Earth Immortals here?”
Poxu smiled and said, ”They're just a mob of chickens and dogs. Xiaohe, you're the princess of the immortal world, you should inherit His Majesty's indomitable enterprising spirit…”
”Are you trying to bicker with me? Is it because we haven't met for so long that you have forgotten about my means?”
Xia Xiaohe was angry, so Poxu immediately shut up.
”Listen, although Nine Regions is a lower realm, it is, after all, the origin of the immortal world. We are not qualified to underestimate it. What's more, our enemy may not necessarily be someone from Nine Regions. This alien coming out of nowhere is a big problem for us. I don't want to confront him right now, so we have to act low-key, do you understand?”
Poxu certainly didn't understand her words, but it didn't hinder him from nodding his head.
”I know you want to say that the enemy is in the bright while we are in the dark. But, I can tell you that Nine Regions are run by people like it's an iron bucket for a long time. If you act-low key, it's very difficult for them to find you. For example, we are now hiding in Mount Qi, so it's very hard for them to find us. But once you make your move, the power of the entire continent will gather in an instant.”
Poxu thought about it and then asked, ”So, what should I do then?”
”Break their iron bucket array first by starting from the inside.”
Xia Xiahe said and then held out a piece of paper. On the paper was a picture of a person, a woman who looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate and beautiful appearance. However, she did not have the innocence and vitality that a youth of her age should have, but rather somewhat languid and somewhat jittery. It was not difficult to see from her frowning eyebrows that her temper was obviously not very good.
Poxu took a closer look and asked, ”Who is this person?”
”Feng Ling, the Lady Boss of Ru Family Inn in Spirit Creek Town.”
”Can you say something that I understand?”
”Oh, you must not be unfamiliar with her other identity. She is the container of Nine-Tailed Fox.”
Poxu suddenly understood and said, ”The servant who was put into the lower realm more than one hundred years ago?”
”Yes, she's the Nine-Tailed Fox captured and released by Senior Immortal Xiaoyao with his own hands to release a natural disaster. At that time, the people of the lower realm quickly suppressed and sealed it. I have been lurking in Nine Regions for fifteen years and finally found its container. Now, I want you to find a way to reach this container, and then use this to unlock the seal?”
After Xia Xiaohe handed Poxu a broken magic needle, Poxu still somewhat did not understand and asked, ”After I unlock the seal, then what? A Nine-Tailed Fox shouldn't be able to raise any storm.”
