Chapter 430
Chapter 430: Are You All a Bunch of Idiots?
“Don’t worry, I won’t fall into darkness,” Luo Sheng assured her, patting his chest.
“Really? But if darling wants to fall, I’ll accompany you,” Bai Moxue nodded.
“That won’t happen.”
Luo Sheng tapped her head.
Afterwards, Bai Moxue also studied the black crystal ball.
But no matter how Bai Moxue examined it, she couldn’t find any flaws in the crystal ball or gain a deeper understanding.
So she said, “Perhaps darling’s little fox demon might know about this crystal ball.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
Luo Sheng had previously considered letting Tushan Baiyue examine it.
After all, this crystal ball was a fox pearl, and Tushan Baiyue belonged to the fox clan.
So she should know something about it.
However, Luo Sheng was worried about how to recall her after summoning her.
“Nevermind, let’s see what happens,” Luo Sheng still made up his mind to summon Tushan Baiyue.
A golden light flashed.
Tushan Baiyue, appearing about 4 or 5 years old, appeared before the two.
With crimson eye lines and clear crystal-like eyes, she looked at the two with a naive gaze, appearing harmless.
If it were an outsider, they might show a maternal smile.
If they thought she was an ordinary little girl.
They might end up dead because of her.
Tushan Baiyue put on an innocent expression, “Did you summon me for something?”
As she spoke, her soft little white finger gently touched her lip, her baby-fat lips adorably pouting.
Bai Moxue’s veins bulged upon seeing this scene.
“What kind of gesture is that?”
“Hehe, old auntie, can’t you see I’m an innocent girl?”
Tushan Baiyue smiled brightly.
She even pretended to act cute.
Using her delicate fingers to poke her own little cheeks, the soft skin looked like it would ooze water if pinched.
Just like pudding, fresh and tender.
Bai Moxue looked at her affected manner and became even more enraged.
She picked up the golden scissors, ready to cut her in half.
“Today, it’s either you die or I perish!”
“Bleh bleh~ Come and catch me if you can!”
Tushan Baiyue patted her own bottom, even sticking it out in front of her, full of provocation.
Bai Moxue charged at her without hesitation.
Tushan Baiyue likewise greased her feet and ran off.
She circled around Luo Sheng, moving so fast only a residual image remained.
Seeing his Bai Moxue lose her cool, Luo Sheng covered his head helplessly. Having many card girls wasn’t necessarily a good thing, especially with a troublemaking fox spirit.
Luo Sheng reached out and grabbed her.
He directly pinched Tushan Baiyue’s neck and lifted her up.
Then he said, “Alright, stop playing, we have important matters to attend to.”
Then Luo Sheng took out the black crystal ball.
He placed it in front of her.
“Do you know anything about this?” Luo Sheng asked.
Tushan Baiyue glanced at it and said boredly, “This is just a dark fox pearl, something I see often, nothing special.”
She even simply placed it in her palm, looked at it for a few moments, then tossed it aside.
You seem quite brave.
Seeing her so casual, especially holding it in her hand then throwing it aside, Luo Sheng was almost frightened out of his wits.
“Do you know how dangerous this thing is?”
“Isn’t it just something that makes people fall into darkness? What’s so dangerous about it?”
Tushan Baiyue said casually.
At this point, both Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue were extremely surprised. “In your eyes, this is just an ordinary thing?”
“Indeed it is, it’s nothing more than a decorative item.”
Seeing their surprise, Tushan Baiyue took the dark fox pearl back into her palm.
“It used to be a decorative item, or a child’s toy, like this.”
As Tushan Baiyue spoke, she infused her mental power into it.
Then, something strange happened.
The dark fox pearl suddenly emitted a black light, enveloping everything around it.
Even the oil lamps and candles Luo Sheng had lit earlier instantly dimmed, finally being swallowed by the darkness.
Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue felt as if they had entered endless darkness, as if they were in an abyss. Even though the two were not far apart, they suddenly felt isolated from the world.
They didn’t know where the other was.
Then Luo Sheng heard a lot of whispers in his ears.
Constantly tempting him to fall into darkness.
“Do you want to become stronger? Join us.”
“Perhaps I can make you even more powerful!”
“Don’t you want to control the world?”
“If you have supreme power, you can manipulate everything in this world, even get the woman you want, make her grovel at your feet, kiss your toes.”
“You… eh, Lady Baiyue? Why are you here too?”
Soon the murmuring whispers instantly disappeared.
They quickly turned into fawning voices.
“Hehe, so it’s Lady Baiyue, then I won’t make a fool of myself in front of you.”
In the next instant.
The black light immediately returned to the crystal ball.
The feeling of falling into darkness that Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue had vanished.
The two looked back at the room, and there was almost no change. It was still flickering with candlelight, brightly lit, as if the previous abyss had never happened.
But at some point.
The crystal ball in Tushan Baiyue’s hand had turned into a completely black little fox.
Its whole body was like black glaze, smooth and shiny.
It kept rubbing against Tushan Baiyue’s little hand, with a somewhat fawning intent.
Seeing this, both Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue were stunned.
Luo Sheng narrowed his eyes at Tushan Baiyue and said, “Baiyue? Are you also a dark card?”
Tushan Baiyue shook her head, her little buns swaying along, like a rattle drum.
She denied flatly, “I’m not that kind of thing, besides, I don’t need to become a dark card, I’m a fox clan member, not an artifact.”
Bai Moxue: “Then why is the dark fox pearl fawning over you?”
“Because it’s a treasure of my clan, it’s only natural for it to fawn over its master when it sees one, after all, they were created by our clan.”
Tushan Baiyue said seriously.
As if she felt this was a matter of course, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Luo Sheng rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, then said to the dark fox pearl, “Since you’ve seen your master, it shouldn’t be a problem to recall the other dark fox pearls, right?”
After all, quite a few people in this world had already fallen into darkness.
If this continues.
The order of this world might collapse, and Acoley’s living environment would no longer be safe.
The dark fox pearl shook its head, “That’s impossible, because I’m just a branch, not the real body of the dark fox pearl, so I can’t control them.”
“Then can’t Tushan Baiyue do anything about it?”
“No, although she’s our master, we only act on our own instincts, we just don’t target the fox clan.”
“I don’t understand.”
“It’s like humans inventing guns, would those guns protect humans?”
The dark fox pearl gave an example.
Then it chuckled and continued, “We’re just tools that make people fall into darkness, but what really falls is a person’s thoughts. The inventor never thought that one day, the gun they created would be pointed at their own head.
So, what really kills them is both us and not us, because what’s behind it all is human greed.”
Its example made Luo Sheng suddenly understand.
He crossed his arms and said, “So after saying all this, you mean you can’t recall the other dark fox pearls.”
“Yes, even Lady Baiyue can’t do it, because the more the dark fox pearls devour, the stronger they become, they might even be able to devour the main body.”
“Devour the main body?”
Bai Moxue raised her doubt.
The dark fox pearl continued to explain, “Survival of the fittest. When these fallen people use us, aren’t we using them too?
Making ourselves stronger, and when we have enough power, we can devour other dark fox pearls, complete our own ascension, and finally devour the main body to become the most dazzling existence.
After all, weapons also update and iterate, eliminating outdated weapons. If we don’t become stronger, we’ll be devoured by other dark fox pearls.”
The dark fox pearl’s explanation made a lot of sense.
Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue kept nodding after hearing it.
With this explanation.
Many things became clear at once.
For example, when dealing with Nangong Liangchen, Tushan Baiyue didn’t make the dark fox pearl residing in him submit.
The reason was that the dark fox pearl feared its upgrade path would stop.
Even when seeing its master, it didn’t prevent it from devouring its master.
Luo Sheng suddenly walked up to Tushan Baiyue, reached out with both hands and pinched her cheeks hard.
He kept kneading them.
And angrily said, “Why did your fox clan create these damn things? Even the master can be devoured, are you all a bunch of idiots?”
Tushan Baiyue immediately became displeased.
She reached out with her pink little hands to hit Luo Sheng, but unfortunately, her arms weren’t long enough.
Dissatisfied, she said, “We were just meant to be decorations, it’s your greed that created this!”
