Chapter 175 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 25
Mu Wanwan is not a virgin, so why can't her man be the Demon Lord in front of her?
Once this thought crossed his mind, he began to tremble. It turned out that the man he admired, Wanwan, might be their Demon Lord.
He knelt on the ground with a thud, "Demon Lord, Mu Wanwan, she, she—"
Yan Shuo sat up straight, his face grim. Li Yuan's hesitant manner made his heart tighten.
"What happened to her? Tell me quickly!"
Li Yuan made up his mind and told Yan Shuo everything that had happened.
Yan Shuo stood up in a rage. His little fox had suffered such a great injustice; one could only imagine how helpless she must have felt at that moment.
Now that he's back, everything is alright with him.
"Where is she now? I will go and bring her back."
Li Yuan kowtowed and refused to get up. "Demon Lord, please accept my condolences. Wanwan has been put into a bamboo cage and thrown into the river. She's gone."
"What? What did you say?"
Li Yuan dared not say anything more and could only kneel on the ground, waiting for the Demon Lord to make his move.
"Hahaha... Good, very good! I see you've all been ignoring what I said!"
He had clearly introduced Mu Wanwan to his clansmen and told them that Mu Wanwan was his disciple, and that seeing her was like seeing him.
“My Wanwan, she won’t abandon me! She said I was her only husband and her only teacher!”
He dragged his feet, walking step by step toward the riverbank.
Li Yuan had already confirmed his suspicions, and now he was filled with regret.
He hated himself for not trying his best to stop Feng Xiangling from doing everything she was doing back then; would everything have been different?
Yan Shuo didn't know how he got to the riverbank. He knelt on the bank and called out Mu Wanwan's name to the water again and again.
"Wanwan~ Little fox~ I'm back!"
The only response he received was his own, yet he remained undeterred, as if she would appear before him simply by calling out to him.
"Wanwan, Master is back~ Please come out and see me, okay?!"
"Wanwan, I am your husband. I will never leave you alone again. Please don't play hide-and-seek with me!"
His tears fell to the ground, quickly mingling with the soil, and only then did he realize he was crying.
His Wanwan is gone; it seems that crying won't bring her back.
He hadn't felt like crying for a long time. The blood in his heart rapidly spread throughout his body, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Little fox, look, I'm spitting blood. How can you bear to see me suffer?"
She knelt down with a thud, crying and shouting, "Come back! Don't leave me!"
He had no time to consider that his feelings for Mu Wanwan had long since gone astray.
He stood up, as if something had occurred to him, and leaped into the river.
The elders and Feng Xiangling who had just arrived only saw Yan Shuo's back as he jumped into the river.
The elder was so anxious he was almost crying. "What a disaster! If Mu Wanwan loses the Demon Lord's protection because of her, our entire Demon Realm will cease to exist!"
Li Yuan followed behind them, his face expressionless. He didn't resent Mu Wanwan for choosing Yan Shuo over him.
He only hated these people who pretended to be gentlemen, but now he finally understood Feng Xianglian's intentions. Those two men were clearly people she had hired.
He had just gone to look for the two men, only to find that they had vanished without a trace, leaving no clue whatsoever.
This method is the same as the one used by the soldier who delivered medicine to Nannan before.
"Li Yuan, hurry, hurry and rescue the Demon Lord."
Li Yuan remained unmoved, standing still without budging an inch.
The elder's cane slammed down on his back. "I told you to go save people, what are you standing there for?"
"Save people? If the Demon Lord doesn't want to come up, no one can save him."
Yan Shuo swam underwater for a long time. He remembered that the little fox couldn't swim. When she was soaking in the spirit pool, the water was very shallow, and she almost drowned.
The river is swift and deep, and she can't swim. If she falls in, she'll probably lose her life.
Driven by the desire to find him alive or dead, he continued his search at the bottom of the river.
Several days passed, and he searched the entire riverbed but found no trace of Mu Wanwan.
"Demon Lord, spare me! I really didn't know that Mu Wanwan's man was you!"
Feng Xiangling's hair was disheveled, and her clothes were tattered from being beaten.
Yan Shuo just destroyed her cultivation, and now she is nothing more than a commoner with no power to even kill a chicken.
"Don't know? Feng Xiangling, do you really think I'm stupid?"
Yan Shuo, though not angry, exuded an imposing aura. Now, his fury for the sake of a woman caused everyone present to tremble.
"You think I can't see through your thoughts? Without the little fox, I wouldn't even glance at you!"
The last shred of faith and hope that Feng Xiangling held dear was ruthlessly trampled by Yan Shuo.
She smiled bitterly. It turned out he wasn't unaware; he was just pretending not to know, not responding, and deliberately keeping his distance.
"Yan Shuo!"
Today she dared to call him by name. In the past, she had always addressed him respectfully as the Demon Lord. In this final moment, she wanted to have a fair conversation with him.
"I've followed you through thick and thin for so many years, always at your beck and call. I may not have done anything great, but I've certainly put in a lot of hard work, and you treat me like this for some vixen!"
Yan Shuo stood up and slowly walked to her, then kicked her in the chest. "Merit is merit, and fault is fault. There's no such thing as offsetting fault with merit. Besides, you touched my woman, Yan Shuo's woman."
Feng Xiangling was kicked far away by him and lay on the ground unable to move.
"Yan Shuo, I have never seen such a heartless person as you. I have always been good to you, and I want to warm your heart. Even if your gaze only lingers on me for a moment, I will be satisfied."
But ever since you brought Mu Wanwan here, everything has changed.
"What does it matter to you whether things change or not? She's dead, so you should pay for it with your life."
Feng Xiangling didn't want to die more than to get Yan Shuo, so she crawled forward and used a lot of strength to grab Yan Shuo's ankle.
"Yan Shuo, please spare my life for the sake of our years of friendship."
He crouched down, lifted her chin, and said, "My Wanwan, why didn't you leave her a way out?"
He forced back the tears in his eyes, "My Wanwan only maintains this human form because of my cultivation. I take care of her day and night, afraid that something might happen to her."
"Yan Shuo, that's not how it is. She seduced you. She seduced you."
Yan Shuo laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Who am I? I am the Demon Lord Yan Shuo. Do I need anyone to seduce me? If I am not willing, what can anyone do to me?"
But my little fox, I took advantage of her vulnerability and took her for myself.
He deeply regretted it. If he had given her the title of Demon Lord's wife openly and honestly, she wouldn't have been falsely accused.
At this moment, he had long forgotten that Mu Wanwan was merely an object he used to revive Bai Jingjing.
"I don't believe it! How could you possibly like a worthless fox? She's not good enough for you!"
