Chapter 852 -852: The Fox Demon!
“Oh my~~ Master, I’m trying to discuss serious matters with you, how can you call me flirty…” Sister Huan blushed and her heart pounded wildly.
She thought to herself, this handsome young man with his incredible skills, is he hinting at a date with me, or is he hinting at a date with me?
‘Alright… since he said so, I might as well give in to him~~’
Just as Sister Huan was about to act coy, Huang Xiaolong’s expression turned serious. “No, you really do have a sort of flirty stench to you. Forget it, it’s difficult to explain to you. You said that big pop star Zhao Bing, she’s been sleepwalking at night, mimicking a fox’s call?”
“Eh~~ Yeah. It’s really scary,” Sister Huan replied, reining in her burgeoning romantic hopes with lingering fear. “Master, you have no idea, even though I’m just Bingbing’s manager, we’re like sisters, and we usually live together. Lately, after Bingbing had her concert in Baoshi and returned to Rong City, she started acting strange. I’ve secretly consulted many Taoists, spent over ten million but saw no improvement…”
As she spoke, Sister Huan looked troubled.
“Zhao Bing herself doesn’t know about this?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile.
“I didn’t dare to tell Bingbing, for fear of affecting her work. However, I’ve quietly cancelled many of her engagements,” Sister Huan said.
“By the way, how could you tell it was mimicking the cry of a fox? Have you heard a fox call?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile.
“I’ve never heard a fox call…” Sister Huan furrowed her brow. “But every night, Bingbing gets out of bed, runs to the living room and starts howling… Sometimes it’s like a puppy barking, sometimes like a wolf howling, and sometimes like a child crying… I don’t know what’s going on, but every time Bingbing cries out, the image of a fox appears in my mind… So, I’m sure, Bingbing is imitating a fox’s call. Master, what should we do? Master, since you’re so capable, perhaps…”
“This is quite interesting, alright, I’ll go with you to check it out,” Huang Xiaolong agreed readily.
Relieved by Huang Xiaolong’s promise, Sister Huan muttered to herself, “Bingbing, you’re going to be saved now!”

The plane arrived at Rong City International Airport.
Huang Xiaolong, traveling light, and Sister Huan, pushing her luggage, exited the airport together.
The two of them had a simple bowl of beef noodles outside the airport, a makeshift lunch.
Then, they took a taxi directly to an upscale neighborhood in Rong City.
Zhao Bing had bought an apartment in this neighborhood.
Arriving at the apartment door, Sister Huan took out her keys and suddenly grinned. “Master, Bingbing will surely be delighted to meet you, she’s been talking about you a lot lately.”
“Oh, really?” Huang Xiaolong responded with an indifferent smile.
They opened the door.
“Sister Huan, have you returned?” Came the heavenly voice of Zhao Bing.
“Yes~~ Bingbing, look who I’ve brought you!” Sister Huan said mysteriously.
Upon entering, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes slightly narrowed as he surveyed his surroundings.
This was a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom apartment. There wasn’t the slightest aura of yin or ghostly spirits in the house, meaning there weren’t any haunted incidents happening at Zhao Bing’s home.
However, there was a faint scent in the air, difficult for ordinary people to detect but definitely there.
Additionally…
‘Hehehe~~ indeed… there’s a demon’s aura!’ Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.
Last time in Binhai, Huang Xiaolong took down Long Wu, the gluttonous dragon, and gained a deeper understanding of demonic auras.
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong had a great interest in “demons”!
At this moment, Zhao Bing, who had permed her hair into curls, was wearing colored contacts, with her lips painted in candy colors making them look pouty, was donning a nearly transparent nightgown and walked out looking languid.
“Hey~~” Huang Xiaolong greeted Zhao Bing.
The next second, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes became sharp as if he could see right through her!
There, on Zhao Bing’s left shoulder, rested a yellow-furred fox, its head poking around sneakily, with a sly glint in its eyes.
‘Yo, yo, yo~~’ Huang Xiaolong chuckled inwardly. ‘The big star has been possessed by a fox spirit, huh?’
Zhao Bing was possessed by a demon, which was clearly different from being haunted by a ghost. No wonder, Sister Huan had spent quite some money and had Taoists come over to check repeatedly, but they couldn’t find anything amiss.
Most of the time, Taoists deal with ghosts, so those with slightly lower cultivation couldn’t see when someone was possessed by a demon.
“Master Huang Xiaolong!!!!” The moment Zhao Bing saw Huang Xiaolong, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, her face alight with happiness, but the next moment—
“Eek~~~!!!!” Zhao Bing screamed at the top of her lungs, her hands covering her chest as her cheeks instantly flushed red. She turned to Sister Huan and reproached, “Sister Huan! If you were going to invite a master to our house, why didn’t you tell me in advance! It’s all your fault! How embarrassing!”
Having said that, Zhao Bing hurried back into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.
“Master, did you notice any problems?” Sister Huan quickly pulled Huang Xiaolong aside and asked in a low voice, “Is there a ghost? What kind of ghost is it?”
“There aren’t any ghosts,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “But indeed there’s a demon.”
“A…de…demon?” Sister Huan was horrified.
“Yes, a true demon, a fox demon,” Huang Xiaolong confirmed. “But don’t be afraid, it’s a very minor one, not yet transformed.”
Indeed, compared to Long Wu’s demonic aura, the fox inside Zhao Bing was far less significant.
After all, fox demons are just ordinary ones and can’t compare to one of the four great ancient evil creatures, Taotie.
Even if the fox demon took human form, it wouldn’t be a concern.
“Come on, Sister Huan, you don’t need to be white as a sheet and gasping for breath,” Huang Xiaolong glanced at the terrified Sister Huan. “In this world, where there are ghosts, there are demons. As the saying goes, humans have their ways, demons have their paths. During Ancient Times, it was a world inhabited by humans, demons, immortals, and devils alike. No reason to make a mountain out of a molehill.”
“Master… you must help, save Bingbing…” Sister Huan trembled.
Huang Xiaolong ignored her and pondered for a moment. “Fox demons? As far as I know, in some places, people like to offer homage to ‘Wu Lu Ye Xian’, which actually represents five different demons. ‘Hu’ refers to fox demons. ‘Huang’ is the yellow-skinned weasel. ‘Bai’ is the hedgehog. ‘Liu’ is the snake demon. ‘Hui’ is the rat… These five types of demons are enshrined as protective spirits.”
After a pause, Huang Xiaolong continued, “Sister Huan, Zhao Bing’s possession by a demon must not have originated from the market in Rong City, as that was a ghost, not a demon. Think about it, has she offended anyone recently? I suspect she has offended someone with a protective spirit in their home, causing the nemesis to employ it against her. Otherwise, why would a demon bother her without any reason?”
“Offend someone…?” Sister Huan frowned, deep in thought for a while, then shook her head. “Our Bingbing is really well-behaved and has a good temperament. Although she’s young, she often supports newcomers in the industry… She hasn’t really offended anyone over the years.”
At that point, Zhao Bing had changed her clothes and, with a flushed face, emerged from the bedroom.
Sister Huan quickly gave Huang Xiaolong a meaningful look, signaling him not to burst Zhao Bing’s bubble right there and then.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Subsequently, the three of them sat on the living room sofa and chatted.
In front of Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Bing had none of the airs of a big star; she was just like the girl next door, chatting with Huang Xiaolong, and expressing her endless gratitude for his life-saving help last time.
As the opportunity arose, Sister Huan said, “Well, Bingbing, since Master Long is here in Rong City to play and hasn’t found a hotel yet, why don’t we let Master Long stay at our place? What do you think…”
A seductive glint flashed in Zhao Bing’s eyes, “That’s great. There’s a spare guest room at home anyway; I just worry that Master Long might look down on it.”
“Not at all. For me, just having a bed is enough,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a grin.
Zhao Bing said with a heart full of joy, “Master Long, I’m from Rong City. Since you’re here, and I don’t have work for these few days, I’ll accompany you to have a good time in Rong City and do my bit as a host.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded with a smile, indicating no problem.
By this time, the fox spirit had already slipped into Zhao Bing’s body. Huang Xiaolong chanted an insight spell and saw that the critter was sleeping soundly and snoring away.
‘It seems that this fox spirit doesn’t intend to harm Zhao Bing’s life… Most likely, someone instructed her to possess Zhao Bing’s body, either to make Zhao Bing embarrass herself or to bewitch her into doing things she wouldn’t normally do…’ Huang Xiaolong thought to himself. “This is really thrilling. I didn’t expect to encounter a demon as soon as I arrived in Rong City… Since I have to deal with Long Wu’s father, a greedy and monstrous demon later, it’s necessary to warm up by interacting with demons early on,” he mused with excitement.
After chatting the afternoon away, Zhao Bing helped Sister Huan cook and made a lavish dinner to treat Huang Xiaolong.
After they had dinner, Sister Huan went to wash the dishes in the kitchen, leaving Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Bing in the living room.
It gets dark early in winter, and the crystal lamp in the living room lit up.
Suddenly…
“Mmm~~~” Zhao Bing moaned softly.
Huang Xiaolong’s heart stirred, and he turned to look at her.
He saw Zhao Bing’s face flushing, her figure enchantingly beautiful, and her eyes full of allure as she gazed at Huang Xiaolong.
She had changed!
Zhao Bing’s demeanor had completely changed!
When Huang Xiaolong first arrived at Zhao Bing’s house, she was enthusiastic, but still rather shy and pure. But at this moment, she appeared somewhat tender and coquettishly seductive…
Huang Xiaolong casually asked, “Big star, what’s wrong?”
“Master… if it weren’t for you last time, I would have been in a terrible state…” Zhao Bing smiled sweetly, her whole body going limp like she had lost her bones, and she lay on Huang Xiaolong whispering, “Master~~ later, after Sister Huan goes to sleep, will you come to my room? I really want to thank you properly…”
Zhao Bing’s breath was fragrant, and in that instant, Huang Xiaolong felt as if the living room was filled with blossoming flowers, with a spring-like atmosphere wafting around, making him feel slightly dopey.
The art of seduction!
‘So the fox spirit is skilled in the art of seduction…’ Huang Xiaolong couldn’t be bewitched by the little fox spirit at all; he felt like laughing. ‘They say that the fox spirit’s ancestor is Su Daji, who charmed King Zhou of Shang into losing his soul and even his kingdom…’
“Alright, I’ll come to your room tonight,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a laugh.
At that moment, the fox spirit hidden inside Zhao Bing’s belly made a chirping sound, as if laughing in triumph.
Soon, Zhao Bing regained her senses. She gasped as she realized she was actually leaning against Huang Xiaolong’s chest in an extremely indecent pose…
“Ah~~!” Zhao Bing screamed, quickly shrinking back, her face blushing as red as a traffic light, stammering, “Master… what happened to me just now? I got all muddled and fell asleep… I… I…”
“Oh, it’s nothing, maybe you’re just really tired,” shrugged Huang Xiaolong. “By the way, to tell you the truth, have you offended anyone recently? Or maybe… have you bought any coats made from mink or fox fur or anything like that?”
“Master, I never wear fur,” pondered Zhao Bing as she replied. “Offended someone? Offended someone… um… Master, if annoying men pester me and I verbally reject them, does that count as offending someone? It shouldn’t, right?”
“Oh? Annoying men have been pestering you, and you rejected them?” Huang Xiaolong felt a slight stir in his heart. “Who?”
“Ugh~~ It’s Young Master Fan from Rong City,” a hint of disgust flashed in Zhao Bing’s eyes. “The Fan Family is the largest and most powerful family in Rong City. Young Master Fan wanted me to be his mistress… How could that be possible? Master, you have to believe me, I could never agree to such disgraceful and unreasonable demands…”
“You don’t have to explain that to me,” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
Hearing Huang Xiaolong say that, Zhao Bing felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
After watching TV for a while, and around nine o’clock, Zhao Bing yawned, her eyelids heavy as if weighed down by lead, appearing very sleepy, so she went to take a shower first, getting ready for bed.
“Master, Bingbing has been in poor spirits these past few days, getting especially tired at night,” said Sister Huan anxiously. “Now that I think about it, it must be that demon causing trouble. Master, please don’t go to sleep yet; Bingbing is going to sleepwalk soon, imitating a fox’s cry. It’s really scary.”
“Don’t worry~~ I’ll catch that little demon tonight,” Huang Xiaolong yawned as well. “By the way, Sister Huan, you go take a shower and rest later.”
“Oh~” Sister Huan nodded nervously.
After taking her shower, Zhao Bing indeed went into her bedroom and shut the door to sleep.
Following Huang Xiaolong’s instructions, Sister Huan also showered early and returned to her room.
Huang Xiaolong turned off the lights in the living room, making the house seem dark and eerie, quite sinister.
Right at that moment, the door to Zhao Bing’s room creaked open, and moonlight shone from the window into her bedroom, casting her entire body in a cloak of light, giving her an enigmatic and alluring beauty.
“Master~~ come in… Tonight, let Bingbing take good care of you…” Zhao Bing beckoned to Huang Xiaolong with a curl of her finger.
“Alright,” Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly, stood up, and walked into Zhao Bing’s room.
Bang~~ Zhao Bing closed the door, locking it behind her.
There were no lights on in the bedroom, just the poetic moonlight.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Bing stretched out her delicate arm and hooked it around Huang Xiaolong’s neck, cooing in his ear, “Master, do you think I’m pretty?”
“Mm~~ Fair to middling, not too bad,” said Huang Xiaolong with a half-smile.
Just then!
Zhao Bing’s cute and beautiful face suddenly turned a dark color, and strands of hair burst out from her pupils, growing wildly like weeds!
A pungent, demonic aura erupted!
Out of her mouth grew two green fangs that gleamed with a metallic shine, her eyes turned blood-red, and her expression became savage and fierce as she hissed in Huang Xiaolong’s ear, “There’s a scent on you that makes me very uncomfortable… I’m going to eat you!”
Roar~~~~~~~~!
“Zhao Bing” let out a sharp scream and lunged at Huang Xiaolong’s neck with an open mouth!
…
