Chapter 21. The Master and Disciple with tight budgets
Night had fallen as Fang Zhou and Ling Xiaoyue took their seats in the sedan provided by the Wang Family, heading to the Hu Family residence to exorcise the demon foxes.
Sitting in the sedan, Fang Zhou reminisced about the bits of knowledge Ling Xiaoyue had shared with him before they left the Wang Family estate.
Fox demons usually operate as families, with only one nest of fox demons in a given area. A nest would contain no more than ten at most. If there were more, the dominant fox demon would drive the young out to fend for themselves and spread out.
Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou had altogether slain five fox demons; therefore, it was highly probable that there were still five remaining in the Hu residence, two adults and three young ones.
Ling Xiaoyue had made it clear that she would only deal with the two adult fox demons, leaving the three younger ones for Fang Zhou. This served as training for him and an opportunity to gain experience.
Fang Zhou now understood why Ling Xiaoyue had taught him the New Moon Qi and swordsmanship—it was all for this purpose.
He did not refuse. Had this been when he first arrived at Qingde City, he certainly would have rejected the offer, but now he has gained some confidence. Even if he couldn't beat them, he could at least run away.
If he was lucky, perhaps there wouldn't be as many as three young demon foxes in the Hu residence.
Opening the system panel, Fang Zhou allocated the unused 4 points of manliness entirely to Spirit, boosting his spiritual resistance and ensuring that he could shake off any illusion technique the demon foxes might use.
