Chapter 22: "Luring""Brother, here's our plan for today: you go lure the little Demonic Beast and lead it to me. I'll be hiding in the thick grass nearby, waiting. When the Demonic Beast reaches my ambush point, I'll swoosh—smack it flying with one palm. Then you take this sword and finish it off.""Sister, you used the wrong word. It should be 'entice'!""Ah, it's all the same anyway. Brother, why are you so fussy? A real man shouldn't care about such details, okay?!""Sister, do you really think this will work?" He trusted his sister's abilities, but he didn't believe he could outrun the little Demonic Beast."Wait for me a moment. I'll go get Tianfu and Tianlu to join us."Xiao Mingji looked at his small frame, then thought about the Demonic Beast's large build. He tilted his head forty-five degrees toward the sky to keep his tears from falling.…"Come, Tianfu, Tianlu—right here, dig!" Xiao Chenhua, small but commanding, directed them. This time, they had a more thorough and meticulous plan."Step one: we dig a trap here big enough to bury the Demonic Beast. We'll place some branches on top and cover them with leaves, making the trap just strong enough to hold my weight. Later, I'll lure the Demonic Beast this way. When it steps on the trap, it'll be too heavy and fall in. Finally, once the Demonic Beast falls in, we'll throw stones from above to knock it out. After it's completely unconscious, we'll finish it off with a few more strikes. Understood?""Understood, Your Highness.""Arf arf~"The human and two foxes replied."Not spirited enough!""Understood, Your Highness!""Arf arf arf!"The human and two foxes continued to play along, this time with louder voices.What else could they do? They had to go along with it."Excellent! Then let's proceed as planned!"…After quite some time."You all stay here and don't move. Wait for my triumphant return."The human and two foxes obediently hid in the grass.But plans never keep up with changes.Xiao Chenhua observed the little Demonic Beast from afar. Seeing it sound asleep, she casually picked up a stone and threw it with a "whoosh."The little Demonic Beast was startled awake, still dazed from sleep. Spotting the culprit making faces at it, it angrily gave chase, vowing to make the human pay."Come on, come catch me!" Seeing the little Demonic Beast unable to catch her, Xiao Chenhua worked harder to provoke it.The little Demonic Beast's eyes nearly turned red with rage, but it still couldn't catch up to the figure ahead. In its fury, it spat out many fireballs. Though its aim was poor, the fireballs were powerful.Xiao Chenhua nimbly dodged the fireballs behind her.This time, the little Demonic Beast gathered a great deal of energy, preparing to launch a big one. Xiao Chenhua dodged left again, successfully avoiding it. The large fireball struck a nearby tree.Just as Xiao Chenhua was about to turn and taunt again, a buzzing sound came from the tree. She couldn't help but look over. Oh no—this time, she had really stirred up a Spirit Bee nest."Run! It's a swarm of Spirit Bees!"The human and two foxes, who had been waiting for her triumphant return, watched as a small red figure grew larger and larger, with a dark, dense mass chasing closely behind her. They knew it was over."Change of plans—run!" Xiao Mingji directed them to flee in another direction.Xiao Chenhua chased after them.…"Puff puff, so tired, let's stop and listen if there's still buzzing?" Xiao Chenhua had never run this far before; her little legs simply couldn't keep going."Cough cough, seems like it's gone." The rapid running had dried out Xiao Mingji's throat, and he couldn't help but cough."Then let's rest here for a while."Since the little fox often ran like this, the two spirit beasts were in much better condition than the two children."Brother, you mustn't tell Father and Dad about today's incident, okay?" Xiao Chenhua sat cross-legged on the ground, her face covered in dust."No, you're being too reckless!" Xiao Mingji sternly refused."One Demonic Beast Inner Core.""No!""Two Demonic Beast Inner Cores!""No!""Two Demonic Beast Inner Cores plus one Glazed Bead!" Xiao Chenhua pulled out her treasured possessions, her face showing a pained expression."Deal! Thanks for your generosity, little sister."
