Chapter 247: Chapter 155: The Nemesis of Chairs

Now this little mink was looking at her with eyes like black buttons, its gaze filled with affection and a hint of a smile. Although it appeared very weak, it still struggled to stand upright and bowed deeply to her three times with its front paws. Despite the small body making the action a bit comical, it was clear that it was sincere.

She waved her hand nonchalantly: "Alright, stop being cute, hurry up and change back!" She was not used to having a big man suddenly turn into a small animal beside her.

Wen Liangyu was silent for a little while before chirping twice, a look of embarrassment appearing in his eyes.

Qiongqi, who was laughing on the side, finally managed to stop and said with effort: "Madame, he can’t change back."

"What does that mean? He became a pure-blood demon and can’t turn into a human or speak human language anymore? Then what’s the point of the blood exchange?"

"Madame, you know that to become a demon, a spirit must undergo five hundred years in the Qi-gathering stage before entering the Transformation Stage to morph into human form," Qiongqi coughed, "Even those born as demons with innate cultivation must still go through a period of cultivation before they can morph into human form."

Does that mean, even a "Second Generation of Demons" born is originally in animal form and needs to gradually cultivate to morph into a human?

"His ancient bloodline is relatively pure, but even so, he currently only has demonic power without the ability to use it, and the power isn’t profound enough for him to become human."

"How long will it take?"

"Um, well..." Qiongqi began to hesitate.

"At least a few years, or as many as a dozen years, depending on his own aptitude," said Changtian, who was resting. His voice sounded almost normal, "Ning Xiaoxian, it’s time for you to hit the road. We’ll change our route and head directly north, to the Five Connected Pools at Leizhou Boundary!"

"Oh? Okay." She rarely questioned Changtian’s decisions.

From here to the Five Connected Pools, it would take at least half a month’s journey, and she would not be foolish enough to use her own legs to walk there.

In the horse market, as she negotiated a price with the horse dealer and led out a robust chestnut horse, a group of government officials hurried past her, among them was a very familiar figure.

This person was shouting: "Thank you, gentlemen officials, it’s just ahead at the Woodworking Workshop. Please, you must decide for me!"

Hey, isn’t this the apprentice who was the last to leave the Woodworking Workshop and lock the door last night? It looks like he entered the workshop early today, discovered something was stolen, and was afraid his master would accuse him of stealing, so he quickly reported it to the authorities. I wonder if he took the gold and silver from the ground?

She smirked but noticed one of the officials holding a small white animal, its fur combed smooth, resembling a Yorkshire Terrier from another world. The official humphed: "Really asking for it, this stupid thief even dared to steal goods ordered by Mr. Fu, Landlord Liu, and Mr. Wu! Once we find it, we must break his legs! Really strange, in all my years of service at Shuangyu City, this is the first time I’ve seen someone steal furniture. With such heavy and bulky furniture, who would steal it? Where would the thief even sell it? How foolish can you be?"

He didn’t know that the "stupid thief" was shrinking his neck behind him.

"Madame, we should hurry!" Qiongqi suddenly spoke, "I smell the scent of a terrier, it gets winded walking a few steps, but it has a sharp nose!"

Is this an Otherworld version of a police dog? Ning Xiaoxian suddenly felt nervous. Although no one saw her stealing from the Woodworking Workshop yesterday, her scent was left all over the place. If this terrier’s sense of smell was well developed, it could lead the officials right to her, which would be less than ideal.

She stuck out her tongue, hurriedly leading the chestnut horse towards the North Gate. Except for official express items, running horses fast within the city was prohibited, but fortunately, they were near the city gate now.

"I guess, this is the trouble you caused during those 24 hours?" Changtian’s voice arose, carrying a hint of helplessness. This mischievous girl, turning over could always poke a hole somewhere.

"...Ah, I just wanted to add some furniture to the cabin, who knew that the Woodworking Workshop in Shuangyu City only took orders and didn’t sell stock items. So last night I just..." Plus, that furniture didn’t even suit her taste. Sigh!

How could he fuss about her stealing mortals’ possessions? It’s just that "Fengtian Prefecture’s Demon Sect is not simple, always able to find your trail from the slightest clue, why not act more low-key?"
