In the small courtyard in the deep alley, the bleak autumn wind rolled up the remaining leaves. On the ground, a warm corpse gradually turned cold.
Looking down, I saw a bloody hole in my chest.
The position of the heart was empty, as if someone had ripped it out alive.
A cute little girl from Yuxue squatted beside her. She looked at the corpse curiously and blinked with her big eyes: "So what that smelly Taoist priest said is true. People who lose their heart will really die."
Her right hand hidden by her side slowly raised.
Tick-tock——, tick-tock——
Bright red and black blood dripped down, staining the clothes.
A bloody heart was lying quietly in her hand, beating weakly and exuding a pungent smell of blood.
Su Yu curiously came closer and smelled it, and found it very fragrant.
Xiao Chongyu flashed over and saw this scene.
His eyes were slightly cold, and he raised his hand to attack.
Su Yu felt a pain in her wrist, and was knocked down by the impact. The heart in her hand fell to the ground and rolled a few times, becoming covered with mud and dirty.
She looked up and glared, trying to see who was attacking her.
Just when she raised her head, she suddenly met a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, which seemed to be filled with ice. She shivered with the cold, and her aura disappeared instantly.
Seeing the person clearly, Su Yu's eyes lit up for a moment. The next moment, she opened her head angrily: "What are you doing here?"
She snorted heavily: "I'm telling you, it's useless even if you apologize to me now, I won't forgive you!"
"It's okay to leave me behind once. If you want to leave me behind a second time, I don't have to follow you. Without you, I can do it alone and become very powerful."
The little fox was full of energy, her bright eyes were full of innocence, and there was no trace of the fact that she had just ripped out someone's heart.
"You said becoming more powerful is just poaching people's hearts?"
Xiao Chongyu glanced at the corpse on the ground and the heart that fell to the ground.
If he had come a step later, would she have already swallowed this heart?
Even though it's bloody, it's not too dirty.
The most important thing is that the monster that eats people will make the path of spiritual practice many times more difficult in the future.
Su Yu tilted her head in confusion: "Isn't it possible?"
Thinking of the broken heart, she quickly looked down and saw only a dirty pile of dirt on the ground, and she frowned dissatisfied.
"How can I eat it if you drop it on the ground?"
Su Yu glared at him unhappily: "You soiled my food, you have to pay for it!"
Xiao Chongyu ignored her shouting and slowly approached, squatted down, and looked down at the corpse. The fatal wound was only on the chest.
There is no doubt that he was killed by the little fox.
"Why kill him?" Xiao Chongyu asked without answering.
Hearing this question, Su Yu was stunned for a moment and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "He scolded me. I hate him. My mother said that anything that makes me unhappy is bad and cannot be kept."
Her voice is childish and simple.
"But I didn't want to kill him at first, I just wanted to carve out his heart."
Those eyes were so pure and innocent that no one could bear to blame them.
"If a person loses his heart, he will die." Xiao Chongyu's voice was calm.
Su Yu blinked and thought for a moment: "Then I'll put it back on for him?"
Xiao Chongyu: "...He is already dead."
Su Yu puffed up her cheeks impatiently: "Then what do you think I should do? He deserves to die. I was walking on the road, and he grabbed me and said something about selling me, and scolded me. Don’t waste the food delivered to your door, he deserves it!”
Hearing these words, Xiao Chongyu's eyes moved slightly.
"oh?"
At this time, there was a sudden movement in the house. Xiao Chongyu glanced with his consciousness and saw many children tied up and locked together, both boys and girls, some unconscious and some awake.
Combined with what the little fox just said, I instantly understood what was going on.
However, even so, practitioners should not meddle in mortal affairs easily, as they will be implicated in cause and effect. Once the sin of killing has been caused, everything else is in vain.
Xiao Chongyu picked up the little girl's collar: "Don't be so reckless next time."
Su Yu struggled in the air: "Stinky Taoist, let me go! You haven't paid for my food yet, where are you taking me?"
Xiao Chongyu glanced over, and Su Yu immediately fell silent, extremely well-behaved.
Still quite aware of current affairs.
"That's all, you and I are destined, and I have a reason for this. From now on, you can follow me. I will let you go after the cause and effect on you is eliminated."
Su Yu didn't understand what cause and effect meant. She only knew that the man in front of her had changed his mind and wanted to keep her by his side.
"Smelly Taoist priest, you have a beautiful idea!"
Su Yu snorted and raised her chin, "I'm not a fox that's easy to fool. I haven't settled the accounts with you for abandoning me before. What do you mean? How can such a good thing happen?"
The little fox behaved for two seconds, and his tail was raised to the sky again.
I don’t know how her mother raised her in the past. She had a very bad temper at such a young age.
"Then what do you want?" Xiao Chongyu played with her with great interest.
Su Yu rolled her eyes: "Unless you pay for my food."
Thinking of the alluring fragrance, Su Yu's saliva almost started to flow again.
"No wonder my mother said that people's hearts are good things. If they are so fragrant, they must be delicious. She used to eat them secretly by herself without leaving any for me. She is stingy!"
"You have soiled the food. I ask you to compensate me. Isn't that too much?"
Su Yu looked up at him, her eyes clear and clean.
"Food? That heart?"
Su Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xiao Chongyu refused directly without thinking: "No."
His voice was cold: "I said before, if you let me see you wanting to hurt someone again, don't blame me for being ruthless. Forget it this time. That person deserves it. There will be no next time. Otherwise, I don't mind taking the blame." Once upon a time.”
"Understand?"
The faint threat was like a knife on Su Yu's neck, making her freeze instantly.
Su Yu felt aggrieved: "But I'm hungry."
The little fox's voice was soft and waxy, and she complained that she was hungry. It seemed that Xiao Chongyu didn't give her food, so she had no choice but to eat people's hearts.
Xiao Chongyu had already seen the ability of a little fox to rake up the enemy. Xiao Chongyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked her, "What did your mother give you to eat before?"
Su Yu's eyes lit up and she replied crisply: "Lingshi!"
"Do you also have a spirit stone?" She looked curious.
Xiao Chongyu not only has it, but also has many.
The man casually picked up a bag from the storage space and threw it to her. The crystal-clear stone was filled with spiritual energy and brilliance. It was a little bit better than what Su Yu had eaten before.
"Wow~"
She couldn't wait to take one out, held it in her hand, grinned slightly to reveal her pointed teeth, and gnawed on it.
Xiao Chongyu took a look and found it strange.
Both demons and monks use spiritual stones to practice, and the methods are similar, but this is the first time I have seen someone like the little fox chewing them directly.
