Since the Fox Demon had not yet returned.
Du Tianle was not in a hurry and leisurely strolled up the mountain.
Enjoying the scenery along the way, he was quite content.
This was different from other Transmigrators.
Because of the limitations on their Lifespan.
they were forced to cultivate desperately to break through realms.
Like a donkey that is constantly whipped, forced to keep its head down and grind.
But Du Tianle had no such worries at all.
The longer he lived, the longer he could live...
Furthermore, he had loved traveling in his previous life.
But due to being short of money, he could only stay home.
Now that he finally had the ability in this life.
Therefore, for beautiful scenery like Jade Mountain.
he naturally would not miss it.
Jade Mountain was not high, only about a thousand meters tall.
Even if he dawdled, after one hour, he reached the summit.
The mountaintop terrain was relatively flat.
Several Side Rooms with blue bricks and green tiles were situated there.
This made Du Tianle very displeased—
In his past life, he worked himself to the bone.
By his thirties, he still hadn't managed to buy a small three-room apartment of sixty square meters.
Let alone a mountain-top villa like this.
Fox Demon, you have found another way to court death!
At this moment, a beautiful young woman pushed open the door of the dwelling and walked out.
Seeing Du Tianle with a sword pouch on his back, her expression changed, and she asked cautiously:
"Daoist Friend, what brings you to my Jade Mountain?"
Du Tianle smiled and said:
"I am a friend of the Young Master of Jade Mountain."
"I was just passing by this area, so I came up the mountain specifically to pay a visit."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful young woman's expression softened slightly, and she spoke:
"So you are a friend of Husband."
"This humble one is Madam Xing, greetings, Daoist Friend."
"My Husband has gone out to visit friends and is not at home."
"Did the servants at the foot of the mountain not inform you, Daoist Friend?"
Du Tianle frowned upon hearing this and casually replied:
"Are you referring to those two rabbits?"
"They were sleeping when I came up."
"Seeing them sleeping soundly, I did not disturb them."
They were indeed sleeping soundly; they didn't even know their heads had fallen off.
After a pause, he continued:
"It has been many years since I last saw the Young Master of Jade Mountain; I did not know he had taken a wife."
"Please forgive my abruptness."
The beautiful young woman broke into a radiant smile:
"Daoist Friend should not blame yourself."
"My Husband and I have only been married for a few years."
"It was rushed, so many friends are not aware."
Seeing her appearance of perfect happiness, Du Tianle felt suspicious.
Could there be some hidden story?
Du Tianle decided to probe further and spoke:
"Oh, I remember now."
"A few years ago, I heard the Young Master of Jade Mountain forcibly took a human woman."
"Could that be you?"
Upon hearing this, the smile vanished from the beautiful young woman's face, and she said coldly:
"Daoist Friend, do not believe rumors."
"My Husband and I share mutual affection."
"The matter of forcible taking absolutely did not happen!"
Du Tianle understood in his heart and then smiled:
"Oh, I see."
"Then I suppose the rumor that he killed your parents is also false?"
The young woman immediately became enraged and shouted:
"That is utter nonsense!"
"My Husband and I were in love, but my parents disagreed."
"During the struggle, Husband did not hold back his strength; it was an unintentional mistake!"
After saying this, she suddenly reacted, pointing at Du Tianle, and asked:
"You are not Husband's friend!"
"Who are you?"
"Did my grandfather send you here?!"
Du Tianle ignored her, instead looking at her with a strange gaze.
There are strange people every year, but ones this bizarre are rare.
Love-struck? Stockholm Syndrome?
No, this woman is purely a pervert!
This is an illness, and it needs treatment!
"He killed your parents."
"He harmed your grandfather."
"Yet you call him Husband over and over."
"How can you sleep soundly?"
The young woman retreated a few steps, tears welling up in her eyes, and cried out:
"It was an accident when he lost control for my sake."
"I have already forgiven him."
"I only wish for a peaceful life from now on."
"What more do you people want?!"
Du Tianle: ...
A few sentences left him speechless.
This line of reasoning.
What a talent!
The power of this punch.
Even the most skilled female pugilist from his past life.
might not have been able to deliver it.
Thinking of Old Daoist Xing, who was focused on revenge.
Du Tianle suddenly felt a bit choked up.
Just as he was filled with emotion, a clear male voice drifted from afar:
"Wife, I'm back."
Turning his head, he saw a man flying down, landing not far away.
The newcomer had fair skin; if it weren't for the fluffy tail dragging behind his rear.
he would have been almost indistinguishable from a human.
Fox Demon, you've returned at the perfect time, prepare to die!
Just as Du Tianle was about to draw his Sword Riding sword, he saw the beautiful young woman beside him run quickly toward the Fox Demon.
Shouting as she ran:
"Husband, be careful! He was invited by my grandfather to harm you!"
Du Tianle: ...
Damn it, I give up!
The Fox Demon held the young woman in his arms, turned, and snorted:
"I didn't expect him to still not give up."
"If it weren't for my wife's sake."
"I would have gone to the Market Town long ago to eliminate that Old Daoist."
So, you ruined Old Daoist Xing's family and life.
And you won't even allow the man to seek revenge?
It seems this sickness is quite severe too.
Mutual love is rare to see.
Their mutual sickness is even rarer.
Truly, birds of a feather flock together.
Du Tianle couldn't be bothered to waste time with this couple.
With a wave of his arm, the Cold Iron Sword transformed into a cold gleam.
It shot straight toward the Fox Demon's face.
The Fox Demon released the young woman, raised a hand, and took out a Bronze Mirror.
He flashed it toward the incoming Cold Iron Sword.
A yellow beam of light swept across.
Du Tianle suddenly found that he had lost control of his Flying Sword.
With no time to think, he raised his hand and shot out an arrow of flame.
Then he activated the Sword Control Art again.
The Cold Iron Sword, which had fallen to the ground, suddenly bounced up.
And shot toward the Fox Demon once more.
The Fox Demon had just dodged the flame arrow and had no time to evade the Flying Sword.
Just as it seemed about to strike him.
The Fox Demon suddenly inhaled sharply, then exhaled from his mouth.
A breath of frost struck the Flying Sword.
The Cold Iron Sword was knocked straight away.
The Fox Demon's gaze turned cold, and he raised a hand to pull out the bone hairpin on his head.
He tossed it into the air.
The bone hairpin grew in the wind, transforming into a giant python over ten meters long.
It opened its huge mouth, carrying a nauseating stench, and lunged fiercely at Du Tianle.
Du Tianle hadn't expected this Fox Demon to be so troublesome.
This giant python transformed from a bone hairpin looked difficult to deal with.
He had no choice but to bend his knees and leap into the air.
Man and Sword as One!
Five-colored Sword Light bloomed once again.
It fiercely collided with the giant python's gaping maw.
After a brief stalemate.
The python's head exploded with a bang.
The Sword Light, having gained the upper hand, advanced along the python's spine layer by layer.
The python exploded section by section.
It reverted to a battered bone hairpin.
After destroying the giant python, the Sword Light did not stop but continued straight toward the nearby Fox Demon.
Just as it approached, the Bronze Mirror in the Fox Demon's hand emitted a yellow beam of light again.
Du Tianle, in the Man and Sword as One state, suddenly felt the True Essence in his body become chaotic.
He almost plummeted down.
He immediately separated from the sword.
His figure flashed, appearing beside the Fox Demon.
Holding the Cold Iron Sword, he executed a horizontal slash.
Unexpectedly, facing Du Tianle's sudden attack, the Fox Demon was not flustered but instead revealed a mocking smile.
Du Tianle was startled and quickly retreated.
But it was too late.
Two long tails suddenly shot out from behind the Fox Demon.
They wrapped around his body like two ropes.
Instantly binding him tightly.
The abundant True Essence within his body was also completely sealed.
...
