Do I Have to Be a Peerless Beauty After Reincarnating as a Fox Demon? Chapter 9 : Silver Grass

Soon after Bai Yiyi left, Su Xiao noticed a shadow sweep across the ground. Looking up, he saw a strange bird-like creature in the distant sky, gradually disappearing beyond the horizon.

“Is that a demonic beast or a Refined Spirit? It’s too far away… Miss System didn’t give any response,” he muttered to himself.

By now, the fragrant scent in the air had almost completely faded. Everything that had happened earlier felt so unbelievable to him, like a dream, leaving Su Xiao in a daze.

Maybe when I wake up, I’ll still be lying in my comfy otaku bed back ho.

He wasn’t entirely sure.

Then his gaze drifted forward.

His eyelids suddenly twitched violently.

The Silver Grass, now missing its fruit, was still there.

【Silver Grass: High-grade spirit herb. Consuming it increases spiritual power and carries an extrely small chance of awakening bloodline power.】

A mont later, Su Xiao looked at the silver plant in his paw. Its leaves were lush and vibrant, glistening with vitality.

“Do I really have to eat this?”

He hesitated. As soone who had always eaten cooked food as a human, the idea of chewing raw wild grass made him uncomfortable. But more importantly, he hated bitter things. The one thing he dreaded most in life was drinking traditional herbal dicine. Even though everyone said bitter dicine was good for the body, if he had the choice between Western dicine and herbal dicine, he would always choose the forr. It wasn’t that he disrespected traditional dicine. He was just afraid of bitter tastes.

Looking at the small silver plant in his paw, Su Xiao fell into a fierce internal struggle. If other demonic beasts, or even cultivators, could see this scene, they would probably curse at him loudly, “That’s a high-grade spirit herb, not a cabbage! Why are you hesitating like an idiot?!”

“Forget it. One point of Spiritual Power costs ten Luck points… Eating this is basically the sa as gaining Luck.”

Finally convincing himself, Su Xiao frowned and slowly put the Silver Grass into his mouth.

The mont he began chewing, a refreshing sweetness burst across his tongue.

His eyes gradually widened. “It’s sweet!”

Before long, the entire Silver Grass disappeared into his mouth. His fox eyes narrowed in bliss as he savored the taste. His white ears twitched repeatedly, and his tail wagged uncontrollably, completely revealing how much he enjoyed it.

“So good!”

Su Xiao licked his lips, looking reluctant for it to end. Unfortunately, there had only been one stalk.

“Maybe the Silver Fruit would taste even better…”

At this mont, Su Xiao felt strangely sluggish. His limbs felt loose and heavy, and he had trouble summoning strength. Warm currents began spreading throughout his body, making him feel slightly overheated.

Suddenly, a look of alarm flashed across his eyes.

“Is this… the dicinal effect? It’s working this fast?!”

In just a short mont, his body temperature kept rising. The warmth turned into oppressive heat, and faint pain began spreading inside his body.

No wonder Bai Yiyi didn’t eat the Silver Fruit on the spot. This dicine is intense.

If the Silver Grass alone had such powerful effects, then the Silver Fruit, which was its condensed essence, must be even stronger. If she had eaten the fruit unprepared, the violent dicinal power might have torn her body apart.

Su Xiao suddenly felt he had acted a bit too recklessly. At that mont, the dicinal energy inside him surged even more violently.

“I need to find sowhere to hide!”

Bai Yiyi had warned him that the mountain’s lord had disappeared, and other Refined Spirits might gather here. Right now, his body had barely any strength left. If he encountered even an ordinary demonic beast in this condition, he might beco its next al.

Forcing his body to move before the dicine fully took over, Su Xiao staggered toward a massive boulder.

His consciousness began to blur.

I can’t fall asleep yet… just a little longer…

The drowsiness grew stronger and stronger. His eyes grew unfocused, but a flash of determination crossed them.

Blood dripped from the corner of his fox mouth. He had bitten himself. The sharp pain forced a bit of clarity back into his mind.

Suppressing the overwhelming urge to sleep, Su Xiao found a small hollow beneath the left side of the boulder. The spot was extrely well hidden. With his small fox body tucked inside, anyone passing by from a distance wouldn’t notice anything unusual unless they inspected the rock closely.

Su Xiao casually dragged so weeds over the entrance to block it.

Soon after, the crushing wave of sleep returned. This ti, he stopped resisting. His eyes slowly closed.

“All I can do now is pray… I just hope that when I wake up… I won’t already be soone else’s dinner.”

His voice grew softer and softer. The small fox gradually fell into deep sleep. And within that sleep, transformation began. The dicinal power of the Silver Grass continuously strengthened Su Xiao’s body.

anwhile, at the edge of the distant forest, one demonic beast after another began to gather.
