Chapter 15 Demon Veil Eyes_1

Yibai's confusion was somewhat dispelled upon learning that his 'Ahh' was a manifestation of Buddhist techniques.

But the fact that he, a demon, had learned a Buddhist spell still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Yibai shook his snake head and looked at the old fox standing on its hind legs before him. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "I acquired this spell by chance."

Acquired by chance?

The old fox looked at Yibai with a very strange gaze upon hearing this.

Was that explanation true?

It felt to the fox like this was just an excuse from the great serpent.

The old fox subconsciously assumed that Yibai didn't want to reveal the truth, and thus didn't press further.

"So it is, dragonkin. The old one has come to invite you to a feast. I heard from my descendants that they couldn't rouse you, so I decided to come myself," the old fox said.

A humanized smile appeared on the old fox's face.

Its smile was warmer than before, with a few extra degrees of enthusiasm.

"A feast? Wasn't it said that Immortal Hu's daughter would be married tomorrow night?"

Yibai lifted his head to look up.

Through the giant leaves, he could vaguely see some scattered, pure white moonlight.

It was already evening.

Wait a minute!

Yibai suddenly had a bold guess.

Could it be that the time he spent with his eyes closed had already spanned a whole day?

Yibai turned his gaze back to the old fox.

"Dragonkin, you are indeed devoted to your cultivation, reaching a state of self-forgetfulness. It has been over a day since you entered the Hu Family Lands," the old fox explained with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this,

Yibai couldn't help but make a retort in his mind.

Is this what cultivation is?

In the blink of an eye, more than a day had passed.

To him, it felt like just a few minutes, at most half an hour.

But in reality, so much time had actually elapsed.

Yibai didn't have the chance to think for long.

The old fox once again invited him to the feast.

Naturally, Yibai had no reason to refuse, and he left with the old fox to attend the banquet.

"Dragonkin, how many years have you been cultivating?"

"I have forgotten."

"Cough cough, it seems dragonkin's cultivation really has made you self-forgetful, even forgetting such things. But looking at you, dragonkin, you must be young, truly a young prodigy," the old fox said.

"You flatter me, Immortal Hu."

"Dragonkin, it is thus: the old one has another daughter, a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, with excellent aptitude, surely destined to become a Great Demon with a Demon Core. If dragonkin wouldn't mind, she can be married to you today."

"What? Never mind, never mind. Immortal Hu, I am devoted to cultivation and have no other distractions..."

Along the way, the great serpent and the uncanny old fox wore an intermittent conversation.

...

After walking for quite some time,

Yibai and the old fox finally arrived at the 'banquet hall'.

Calling it a banquet hall was a bit of a stretch, as it was just a cleared piece of land furnished with many human tables, laden with various fruits, candles, and lanterns, and surrounded by giant trees wrapped with red fabric, giving off a festive atmosphere.

However, that festiveness was undoubtedly just superficial.

Sitting at each human table like humans, animals of all kinds created an eerie scene that diluted any sense of merriment.

Yibai looked at this demon banquet and couldn't quite articulate the strangeness he felt.

At the same time, he was also figuring out how his large serpentine form was supposed to seat himself.

Yibai didn't think too much and left the problem to the old fox.

When the old fox heard this, he was momentarily stunned and then took out a Mud Ball with a grin, saying, "Dragonkin, this is a treasure of the Hu Family. If you consume this Divine Pill, you will be able to alter your size at will for the next two hours, naturally allowing you to sit at the feast."

Yibai was fascinated upon hearing this.

He swallowed the Mud Ball offered by the old fox without hesitation.

He felt a mysterious power coursing through his serpentine body.

A new thought entered his mind.

He seemed to be able to control the size of his body.

'Shrink.'

With that single thought,

His serpent body instantly began to shrink crazily.

In a moment, his serpent body was only two meters long.

After exchanging a word with the old fox, Yibai prepared to find a spot and take a seat.

But suddenly, a little fox came running over, hastily gesturing to the old fox, the meaning of which was unclear.

At any rate, Yibai couldn't understand it.

Yet the old fox seemed to get it, and a change came over that fox-face.

"What? You say a living person showed up at the edge of the woods, stumbling near the banquet here?"

The old fox exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this.

Yibai, in his coiled serpent form, found it amusing—someone had stumbled into a demons' banquet by mistake.

If that person really saw so many demons feasting, they would probably be scared soulless, casting a shadow over their life forever.

But Yibai didn't have the time to care about that; it was the old fox's problem, not his.

He made his way to a spot and seated himself.

To his left was an empty space, and to his right was a rooster turned essence.

"Dragonkind."

The rooster greeted Yibai politely, flapping its large wings in a strange flutter.

"Si Chen."

Yibai responded politely as well.

Si Chen is another name for the rooster, an elegant term.

The rooster was just saying hello and didn't pay more attention to Yibai after the greeting.

Yibai too was glad for the quiet.

He was curious to see which animal would marry the fox.

Yibai continued to wait.

After waiting for a while,

Yibai began to look around boredly.

He started observing the surrounding demons.

There were many types of demons around, some were earth dogs that had gained essence, some were various insects that had gained essence.

But without exception, the Monster Qi of these demons was quite pure.

It's likely they hadn't eaten many humans.

Yibai wasn't surprised by this; the Hu Family foxes also didn't eat humans, lived in harmony with humans, and those who made connections with the Hu Family were demons who didn't really eat humans. It all made sense.

He was pondering this when,

suddenly his gaze shifted, looking towards the entrance of the great wooded area.

A bright white Qi was floating there.

Amongst a mass of black Qi, it was as conspicuous as a light bulb in the dark night, shining brightly.

Human Qi is white.

A person had entered!

The old fox hadn't stopped them?

Curious, Yibai lifted his serpent head to look over.

He saw at the entrance to the great woods.

The old fox was inviting a... human, inviting them into the banquet.

In Yibai's line of sight, the person's eyes were shrouded in a cloud of Monster Qi.

Interesting.

For humans, it's "Ghost Veil Eyes."

This was "Demon Veil Eyes."

It was unclear whether the old fox had made it so this person couldn't see them or had altered their appearance in the person's eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on the day my daughter weds, I didn't expect a distinguished guest to wander in by mistake. The guest has come, and I invite you all to give me the honor of including our guest at your tables," said the old fox cheerfully to the surrounding demons.

The surrounding demons agreed one after another.

They didn't eat humans to begin with.

Since the old fox had made such a request, they naturally gave him face.

Yibai too happily responded, figuring out that the old fox had used some tricks—probably in the eyes of this human, all of them looked human.

But after his happy response, he got a bit confused.

Why was this person coming to sit next to him?
