Chapter 296: The Potato-Loving Fox, Chen Changsheng: This is to save you.
Facing the little Taoist’s request, the Fox-eared Girl immediately started complaining.
“I don’t want to recite any books.”
“Besides, I’m from the Demon Clan, why should I read Daoist scriptures?”
Hearing this, the little Taoist glanced at the Fox-eared Girl who was immobilized and then started devouring roasted chicken.
The aroma of the roasted chicken filled the room, and the Fox-eared Girl couldn’t stop drooling.
Seeing the roasted chicken in front of her decreasing, the Fox-eared Girl’s eyes rolled, and she immediately said:
“Little Taoist, you’ve held me for quite some time now. I still don’t know your name.”
“How about this, you tell me your name, and we’ll be considered acquainted.”
Facing the Fox-eared Girl’s words, the little Taoist continued eating the chicken leg without paying any attention.
Seeing this, the Fox-eared Girl spoke again, “To show my sincerity, I’ll tell you my name first.”
“My name is Hu Potato, what’s yours?”
Hearing this name, the little Taoist who had been quietly eating finally reacted.
“Potato?”
“Who gave you such an utterly rustic name?”
“Of course, it was my mother!”
“My mother said that when I was born, I always loved eating potatoes, so she gave me this name.”
“How fresh, foxes don’t like meat but prefer potatoes. You truly are an oddity among foxes.”
With that, the little Taoist picked up the roasted chicken on the table and left.
Seeing her chance to make a connection fail and her beloved roasted chicken about to be taken away, Hu Potato became anxious.
“No, how can you do this?”
“I’ve told you my name, why won’t you tell me yours?”
“Chen Changsheng!”
“This is my name. Besides, even if you know my name, not reciting the book means no chicken leg for you.”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Changsheng’s figure vanished, and the yellow talisman stuck on Hu Potato’s forehead fell down.
Just as Hu Potato thought her plan had failed, she suddenly saw a steaming chicken leg on the table.
Hu Potato: ٩(๑^o^๑)۶
Under the temptation of the chicken leg, Hu Potato’s “impure thoughts” were instantly thrown to the sky, and she immediately focused on eating the chicken leg.
…
At night, the moon hung high.
Lying in bed, Hu Potato tossed and turned.
Having eaten the chicken leg, her intelligence returned to its original state.
“What could this strange person possibly want with me? Could he be planning to use me for alchemy?”
“But fox demons aren’t suitable for alchemy!”
Thinking this, Hu Potato sat up.
“No, Granny said, ‘A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.'”
“Even though I’m just a fox, I should be similar to a gentleman. I cannot stay here.”
Saying this, Hu Potato went back to the door and tried to break the seal left by Chen Changsheng.
However, strangely enough, the seal at the entrance had disappeared long ago.
Although she didn’t know why the seal had suddenly vanished, with the opportunity to escape, Hu Potato did not dare to waste time and walked out of the thatched cottage stealthily.
One step, two steps…
The distance between Hu Potato and the thatched cottage grew farther and farther.
But just as Hu Potato thought she was about to escape, her footsteps suddenly paused.
The white moonlight shone down, and the smelly Taoist priest who had caught her was sitting on a giant stone, lost in thought.
For some reason, seeing the smelly Taoist priest like this, Hu Potato felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
Thinking this, Hu Potato quickly shook her head and whispered, “Potato, what are you doing? How can you feel sympathy for this smelly Taoist?”
“You mustn’t forget, it was him who caught you!”
After saying this, Hu Potato carefully walked down the mountain again.
“Potato!”

“Sigh!”
The familiar voice sounded, and Hu Potato instinctively responded.
Immediately after, a look of grievance spread across Hu Potato’s face.
Lowering her head slowly, she dragged herself over to Chen Changsheng, and her originally perked-up fox ears drooped.
Looking at the little fox before her, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“Potato, why are you out so late at night? Where are you going?”
“I… I want to go see my grandmother.”
“So that’s it, then go ahead.”
“Zhuang!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the fluffy fox ears instantly perked up.
“You really let me go?”
“I always keep my word. If I say you can go, you can go.”
“However, there’s something I need to remind you. There are many snakes, insects, mice, and ants on this mountain. Be careful when you go down the mountain at night.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Potato immediately patted her chest and said, “You can rest assured. I am a fox; how could I be afraid of snakes, insects, mice, and ants?”
“I’ll go first. I’ll come find you to play another time.”
After saying that, Hu Potato ran off in a flash.
Watching the little fox’s back, the corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth curved upward, and the mountain peak once again fell silent.
…
A quarter later.
“Ahhh!”
“Help!”
“Eating foxes!”
A scream echoed through the night. Previously, Hu Potato had rushed down the mountain, and now she was running back even faster.
Behind her, a python as thick as a water bucket was chasing her.
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s figure again, Hu Potato hid behind him in a flash, her ears trembling in fear.
“Smelly Taoist, save me! This big snake wants to eat foxes.”
Facing Hu Potato’s plea, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “I can save you, but if I save you, you have to stay here and recite the scriptures.”
“Recite the scriptures, then recite them. It’s better than being eaten by a big snake.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng waved his right hand, and countless chains tightly bound the big snake, pulling it back.
Seeing the danger had passed, Hu Potato cautiously peeked out from behind Chen Changsheng.
“Really scared this fox. I’ve never seen such a powerful big snake before.”
“LITTLE TAOIST, why are you suddenly so powerful? This big snake is at least at the Shore of the Other Side Realm level, right?”
“It’s not that I suddenly became powerful. I’ve always been this strong.”
“You’re lying. If you were so powerful, why did you exert so much effort to catch me?”
“I’m not lying. I only lied to the fox.”
“If I hadn’t intentionally held back, would you really think that your amateur skills could withstand one move in front of me?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Potato tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said,
“Since you’re so powerful, why did you catch me?”
“Fox meat isn’t edible, and my cultivation is so weak. Catching me is completely useless, right?”
Looking at the clear and slightly foolish eyes of the little fox, Chen Changsheng smiled and gently stroked her head.
“I caught you to save you.”
“Because I’ve never seen such a foolish fox before.”
“You dared to eat food meant for demon hunters, and you dared to casually enter the territory of a major demon, and even wanted to be friends with them.”
“Do you know that while catching you, I helped repel how many demon hunters and major demons?”
Hearing this, Hu Potato’s face was filled with confusion.
“Did I encounter so many dangers on my journey?”
“What do you think?”
“This snake was one of those who targeted you a few days ago.”
