Chapter 811: Chapter 740: Encountering a Fox at the Coffin Shop

Before a young man had even reached the front of the line, he started shouting, "Boss, give me a Ferrari, and a Rolls-Royce. Actually, just give me one of every luxury car and sports car you have here. I want the best and most expensive ones!

"Oh, and do you have any paper beauties? The young model type is best. Give me ten of them, and make sure they look realistic. Also, give me a box of hell money. No, give me as many boxes as you have!"

A middle-aged man standing nearby couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Little brother, how many people died in your family for you to need so much?"

"A few of my classmates died tragically and inexplicably, so I’m burning some things for them. I’m also preparing a little for myself."

People were in a state of panic, never knowing if they would live to see the next day. The shadow of death loomed heavily over the hearts of the citizens in City B.

"Little brother, you sure are open-minded. Who on earth prepares such inauspicious things for themselves? But you did remind me," the middle-aged man said. "Hey Boss, prepare a copy of everything this guy ordered for me too. Box it all up to go!"

The shop was filled with a dazzling array of funeral supplies, such as wreaths and paper figures. However, with the long line of customers, the inventory was being snatched up at a visible speed.

Business was booming beyond belief.

Tu Xiao’an had only been watching for a short while when an old woman inside prepared to close the doors. "Today’s funeral supplies are all sold out. This shop is now closed. Please come back tomorrow."

"Hey, hey, how can you be out? I’ve been waiting in line for over an hour!"

"Are you kidding me? You only prepared this little bit of stock and you dare open a paper-craft shop in City B?"

Many people were indignant, but left with no other choice, they could only walk away.

The shop door was about to close when a hand blocked it. The old woman looked up. Her short hair looked as if it were covered in layers of white frost, her large eyes were deeply sunken, and her teeth were almost entirely gone. Her rough hands were covered in earthworm-like veins, and her weather-beaten face was carved with deep wrinkles. She spoke in a hoarse voice, "Customer, everything is gone. Please come back tomorrow."

"I’m not here to buy anything. I just want to go inside and take a look. Is that okay... little fox?"

As soon as the words "little fox" were spoken, the old woman’s slightly hunched figure suddenly jolted. "Who are you?"

As soon as she spoke, the person who had just been talking was nowhere to be seen.

It turned out he was already standing behind her, right inside the shop.

"You’re just a little fox who has only recently gone through Transformation, yet you dare to mingle in human society. Aren’t you afraid of being taken away?"

Tu Xiao’an looked at the old woman indifferently. He had been walking nearby when he sensed a trace of Demon Qi. Upon arriving at this coffin shop, he had been somewhat surprised.

It was the aura of a fox. Even though this old woman looked to be in her seventies or eighties, she was nothing more than a newly transformed fox.

Foxes were uniquely blessed by nature; the higher their Cultivation, the younger and more beautiful they became.

"Who... who exactly are you?" The old woman was shocked, looking at Tu Xiao’an with a hint of fear.

Tu Xiao’an stopped looking at the wrinkled old woman and instead locked his gaze on the second floor.

The fox aura coming from the second floor was extremely dense. It was undoubtedly a Fox Demon of Rank Three or above.

"Oh my, it seems a VIP has graced our shop. Let me see what kind of divine being has arrived."

At this moment, a young woman’s voice drifted down from the second floor. It was charming, melodious, and profoundly captivating.

Soon after, a young and beautiful woman walked gracefully down the stairs. Seeing Tu Xiao’an, she seemed slightly surprised. "My, it turns out to be a handsome young man. Could you perhaps be a high-ranking official from the Demon Management Bureau?"

"You’ve hidden the three fox tails behind your backside quite well," Tu Xiao’an said with a faint smile. "A Rank Three Fox Demon is barely qualified to settle down in City B."

As soon as he said this, a surge of Demon Qi instantly permeated the entire shop. Three fluffy tails suddenly popped out from behind the young and beautiful woman, swaying above her head.

"Who exactly are you, and what is your business here? If you’re from the Demon Management Bureau, then please leave. This fox hasn’t committed any crimes."

"Don’t be nervous. Call down the true master upstairs. You’re not qualified to speak to me." Tu Xiao’an shifted his gaze back to the second floor.

"Hehe, you have quite the eye, handsome, but your tone is even bigger. If the one upstairs comes down, even if you are from the Demon Management Bureau, you won’t be able to handle it."

The young and beautiful woman spoke, her expression cold as Frost, yet her voice remained incredibly pleasing to the ear.

"Is that so?" Tu Xiao’an smiled, raising a brow playfully.

The young and beautiful woman was enraged by his dismissive attitude. Her three fox tails looked ready to strike, but right at that moment...

"Xiaomei, stop right now! Do not be insolent!"

TAP TAP TAP!

A stunningly beautiful woman immediately hurried down from the second floor. She had a graceful figure and wore a pink dress. Her dignified appearance exuded an indescribable sense of demonic charm, entirely at odds with the gloomy atmosphere of the coffin shop.

It was as different as night and day.

"Seventh Young Master, that man is too rude and arrogant!" Xiaomei said angrily.

When the breathtaking beauty saw Tu Xiao’an’s face, her eyes widened in disbelief. She hurriedly stepped forward and dropped to one knee in a respectful salute. "The little fox, Mengqi, greets Lord Snake Emperor."

EH!

In an instant, both the beautiful woman and the old woman were utterly flabbergasted, realizing they were in the presence of a supreme existence. Trembling with fear, they prostrated themselves on the floor and transformed into two White Foxes, one large and one small.

"My little beauty Mengqi, I didn’t expect us to meet in City B. It truly is a small world." Tu Xiao’an smiled faintly at Mengqi, his eyes flashing with interest.

Who would have thought that a mere coffin shop would house the majestic Seventh Sister of the seven great foxes from the Yaoling Mountain Range’s Fox Race?

Back when Tu Xiao’an went to the Fox Race to ask for reinforcements, it was Mengqi who had led the way.

"Lord Snake Emperor, Xiaoqi didn’t expect to meet you here either," Mengqi replied from her kneeling position. She was much more well-behaved than before.

The very first time she met Tu Xiao’an, she had even dared to use an Illusion Technique on him. But times had changed. Back then, he was merely the Snake King of the Snake Race, but now, he was the Snake Emperor of the entire Yaoling Mountain Range.

Lord Gong.

"Rise. We aren’t in the Yaoling Mountain Range, and we can be considered old acquaintances."

"Hehe, Brother Snake Emperor never puts on airs." Mengqi stood up with a beaming smile, casting amorous, soul-hooking glances at him.

A short while later.

Tu Xiao’an sat on a chair while Mengqi respectfully poured him a cup of hot tea. Setting it down, she stared at Tu Xiao’an’s handsome, clear-cut face with those same amorous eyes, looking utterly mesmerized.

COUGH COUGH!

"Xiaoqi, why are you in City B?" Tu Xiao’an asked curiously. Mengqi was the seventh sister of the Fox Immortal King and held a very high status within the Fox Race.

Mengqi hurriedly explained, "I wanted to temper myself in the mortal realm. Staying in the Fox Cave all the time is so boring! Besides, thanks to you, Lord Snake Emperor, it is no longer as inconvenient for a Demon to live in human society."

Tu Xiao’an chuckled. In truth, this didn’t have much to do with him. Rather, they should thank the Ancient War Ruins. The ruins had kept the human authorities so overwhelmed that they simply didn’t have the time or energy to police Demons.

As long as a Demon didn’t run amok, the human government would just turn a blind eye.

"Then you’ve tempered yourself quite well. You’ve even become a generation’s Demon King." Tu Xiao’an remembered that this Xiaoqi used to be a Five-tailed Fox at Level 35.

But now she was Level 36, making her a true Demon King fox.

He wondered if she had grown an extra tail as well.
