Chapter 178 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 28
Bai Shaoqing showed no fear in front of Yan Shuo, and even boldly mocked and ridiculed him.
"My affairs are none of your business, you hypocrite!"
In Yan Shuo's eyes, Bai Shaoqing was self-righteous and seemed like a refined gentleman, but in reality, he was extremely cunning.
He will appear at the border between the immortals and demons, and he's always plotting something.
Yan Shuo's eyes were filled with inquiry, but Bai Shaoqing remained unfazed.
"It seems that the woman you are looking for must be the love of your heart. I am increasingly curious about who this person is that even the mighty Demon Lord would personally seek her out."
"What's it to you? My affairs are none of your concern!"
Yan Shuo disdained to engage in pointless arguments with him here.
"I'm warning you, immortals and demons should cease hostilities and live in peace. If you want to break this first, I won't mind rubbing you into the ground again."
Bai Shaoqing stood there and smiled, not taking his warning to heart.
He turned around and pushed Mu Wanwan, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the corner, out.
She wore a white veil to hide her beautiful face, and her ears were covered by the hood of her cloak.
Bai Shaoqing arranged all of this for her, seemingly out of his own selfishness, ostensibly to protect her, but in reality, he was afraid that she would be found by someone.
After what just happened, it seems that dressing up today was a wise choice.
"Wanwan, that man was so mean! He bullied a woman in the street and acted like he was in the right. It was outrageous!"
"There are too many bad people in the world! You impulsively rushed to help, without even considering your own strength. What if you had gotten beaten up!"
"I'm so happy that you care about me!"
He reached out affectionately to touch her head, but she turned her head away.
He nonchalantly withdrew his hand, rubbed his hands together, as if nothing had just happened.
"You saved my life, this is nothing."
She placed her hands on her lap, her gaze fixed on the direction Yan Shuo had left.
The leg under my palm is completely numb, and I don't know when it will recover.
If Yan Shuo saw his legs, ruined from being submerged in a pig cage, would he feel even a little bit of heartache?
Will he give up the idea of obtaining the demon's essence after spending this time together?
"Let's go! I'm tired!"
Bai Shaoqing obeyed her every command and quickly pushed her home.
As the last rays of the setting sun faded, their shadows lengthened and slowly disappeared at the end of the street.
Searching for someone unilaterally in a vast sea of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Later, he found an artist to paint a picture of Mu Wanwan's appearance, and then had the artist make countless copies based on the portrait, which he carried with him.
When Bai Shaoqing held Mu Wanwan's portrait in his hand, he still had to admire Yan Shuo's persistence.
However, Mu Wanwan and Bai Shaoqing are well protected, and they are currently living far from the town.
Mu Wanwan's legs had lost sensation due to prolonged immersion in icy water, making it difficult for her to walk. As a result, she rarely went to town, and Bai Shaoqing was responsible for purchasing all the necessary items.
She's been feeling down lately, spending her days staring blankly at the woods outside in the yard, seemingly lost in thought.
To cheer her up, Bai Shaoqing specially went to the market today to buy her a small white puppy.
"Wanwan, don't you think it's cute?"
He placed the puppy in her arms, and the puppy whimpered and rubbed its little head against her chest, as if wanting her praise.
The puppy was only about three or four months old, very small and adorable.
Seeing her smile, Bai Shaoqing felt relieved. With the puppy's company, her mood should be better.
The pig sensed her depressed mood and was sullen all day long; after all, she was its owner.
“Master, if you want to complete the mission, you must find Yan Shuo. If you keep avoiding him, how can your relationship improve?”
She knew perfectly well what Zhu Zhu was saying, but even after these days of rest, her legs were still completely numb.
She had previously thought that with a little rest, she would recover in a few days, but as time went by, she still couldn't feel anything in her legs.
She's a modern person, and she knows what that means!
Yan Shuo had ulterior motives towards her; she wanted to gradually win his heart, but now her legs were useless.
If he saw her like this now, would he immediately steal her demon essence?
“Master, be brave. Perhaps things aren’t as bad as you think. Yan Shuo was frantic when he heard you were drowning. Go back! Give yourself a chance, and give Yan Shuo a chance too.”
Piggy tried her best to persuade her, and Mu Wanwan stroked the little puppy in her arms. She picked up the puppy and said, "How about I give you a name?"
The puppy whimpered, as if in agreement.
"How about I call you Ershuo then?"
"Wang!"
Mu Wanwan picked up the dog and rubbed it against her cheek. "Then Ershuo, do you think I should let him find me?"
"Wang!"
"Then I'll do as you say!"
The next day, Mu Wanwan suggested that she go for a walk in town, and Bai Shaoqing naturally agreed. He had been quite worried these past few days that she would cause herself problems by keeping herself cooped up.
He pushed Mu Wanwan forward, and the two passed one vendor's stall after another, finally stopping in front of a stall selling masks.
The stalls were filled with a dazzling array of masks, offering all kinds of masks imaginable.
Bai Shaoqing also casually picked one up and started to admire it.
Mu Wanwan chose a white fox mask. Although the mask was not as exquisitely made as masks in modern society, it was still quite lifelike.
"Young lady, this mask suits you perfectly, would you like to try it on?"
"it is good!"
She removed the veil from her face and prepared to try on a mask.
When the vendors saw his true face, they were so surprised that they were speechless.
"Auntie~ Mother, you are, you are~"
Bai Shaoqing quickly put the veil on Mu Wanwan, forgetting that the whole town was now filled with Yan Shuo's spies.
In the blink of an eye, dazzling fireworks lit up the sky. Mu Wanwan looked at the vendor who had turned around and was setting off fireworks with a puzzled expression.
The vendor grinned foolishly at Mu Wanwan, "Miss, you can't leave! The Demon Lord is looking for you everywhere!"
Bai Shaoqing could not let him have his way. It was all his own fault for being careless. As soon as his hands touched the cart, he had to take the person away quickly, otherwise he would not be able to leave once Yan Shuo arrived.
"You can't take her away!" The vendor quickly blocked the two of them. The Demon Lord had promised a thousand taels of gold to anyone who found the person in the portrait. Even if he worked day and night to earn money, he could never save that much in his entire life. At this moment, Mu Wanwan was a walking God of Wealth in his eyes.
Bai Shaoqing was no longer as amiable as before. With a dark expression, he pushed the vendor aside, telling her not to block their way home.
"We're going home! I've bought your mask."
He then took out some silver and threw it at him before hurriedly taking the man away.
He had no interest in such a small sum of money and quickly pulled the chair back, lest the immense wealth slip away.
As the two were locked in a stalemate, Yan Shuo suddenly descended from the sky. Bai Shaoqing forcefully pushed him down and ran away with the car.
