CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: I MUST HAVE DREAMT OF MY LOVER FROM A PAST LIFE

"Fox demon?" Qianxun’s gaze turned slightly cold.

To be honest, after a fox spirit transformed, its innate charming skills, if deliberately used to seduce men, were something few men could resist.

Furthermore, men’s vital essence greatly benefited a fox demon’s cultivation, making it much faster than orthodox cultivation methods. Hence, many fox demons preferred the convenient route, cultivating through men’s vital essence.

Fox spirits like her, who slowly cultivated by absorbing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, were rare.

Nowadays, the term ’fox spirit’ was pejorative because of too many tales of fox demons feeding on men’s essence, turning it into a derogatory term.

Those fox spirits that fed on essence were the mischief-makers among foxes.

If she ever encountered one, she would make her pay!

...

"Yes, I had already captured her but she was extremely sly and abandoned her body to escape as a wisp of soul," Huo Tianzun said.

Hearing this, Qianxun nodded slightly.

The next moment, she spoke, "I understand, I will keep an eye out for Sun Xiaowen."

Given Sun Xiaowen’s mad infatuation with Mu Chenfeng, as long as she was alive, she would undoubtedly seek him out.

Huo Tianzun shook his head upon hearing this, "That fox demon is too dangerous. If you have any leads, just let me know."

After speaking, Huo Tianzun suddenly asked, "Do you have a cellphone?"

In 2005, cellphones were still a rarity for most students.

However, since Su Qing had bought Su Qianxun a computer, naturally, she had a cell phone too.

But Qianxun had been too lazy to use a cellphone this year and hadn’t even thought about it. It wasn’t until Huo Tianzun brought it up that Qianxun remembered there was a Nokia phone, sleeping soundly in the drawer.

...

"Wait a moment." Qianxun reached out to turn on the room light.

The darkness dispersed, revealing Huo Tianzun’s figure dressed in a black silk pajama clearly in front of her.

Seeing this, Qianxun couldn’t help but look at him in surprise, "What exactly did you dream about?" He had come seeking her without even changing out of his pajamas.

Noticing her gaze, Huo Tianzun realized he was still in his pajamas.

For a moment, his ears reddened while he tried to maintain a composed tone, "It must have been about the lover from my past life."

Hearing this, Qianxun’s hand paused while pulling out the drawer, then as she took out her phone trying to power it up, she said, "You believe in past and present lives? You modern people...no, aren’t modern people supposed to advocate believing in science?"

Past and present lives, the cycle of life and death, those clearly contradicted the scientific doctrine.

...

Hearing Qianxun’s words, Huo Tianzun sharply caught the mistake in her statement but didn’t point it out immediately, "Science also claims that demons don’t exist, that they are a figment of human imagination. Yet, here I am, a demon catcher."

Qianxun couldn’t help but let out a light laugh upon hearing this.

Her beautiful black eyes curved into crescent moons, instantly captivating Huo Tianzun’s gaze.

In that instant, he felt his heart uncontrollably throb again.

That smile! Those smiling eyes.

As if possessing a bewitching power, even in his dreams, he couldn’t forget that heart-stirring feeling.

And now, the face he had forgotten upon waking overlaid with the face in front of him.

...

"Your loved one... may I ask, how did she die?" Huo Tianzun couldn’t help but ask the next moment.

Hadn’t she mentioned before that they were separated by life and death?
