The red fox Qiu Ziran has a good cultivation, but unfortunately he was not good enough compared to Bai Ju.
Bai Ju, who was pretending to be young and cute without any pressure, shook the red fox’s hands. When he saw his four thin legs hanging down in confusion, he pursed his lips and put the fox down.
This little fox probably became a spirit in a civilized society. He didn’t even know how to kick his legs when he was picked up. He was surely not wild.
Bai Ju had been thinking before that the red fox was prospering in the human world and should be a powerful character. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a fox clan’s fool. His temperament couldn’t match the cunningness of wild foxes, and he was a bit embarrassing for being from the fox clan.
Qiu Ziran squatted on the ground and looked at the scattered necklaces and pendants around him. After a while, he squeaked, tilted his head and looked at Bai Ju and sighed: “…Woo.”
Bai Ju thought for a while and reached out to touch the red fox’s head.
Xiong He stood at the door, not daring to say a word for a long time.
Bai Ju glanced at Xiong He, raised his finger and pointed to the sofa: “Sit.”
The brown bear moved over with a squeak and sat down in a proper manner. Bai Ju flicked Qiu Ziran’s ear, and the red fox flashed, changed back to human form, sitting on the ground without any image.
Qiu Ziran was good at changing shapes and even though it was not easy for him to put on his makeup but he basically changed his clothes by himself. Even after being tortured by Bai Ju, his clothes and pants were not missing. He only needed to put back on the accessories that had fallen on the ground.
The red fox was obviously still a little out of sorts. He touched his head and asked coquettishly: “Are you a big demon?” Not a little demon.
Bai Ju nodded: “I am the Demon King Bai Ju.”
After a pause, thinking that these little demons may not have heard of him, Bai Ju added: “The Demon Management Bureau hired me to come down the mountain to discipline you.”
The red fox said in a relaxed tone: “Oh oh oh, I have heard of you… I am the fox demon Qiu Ziran. Director Xiao should have introduced me to you. I am a good demon.”
As he said this, his eyes glanced at the well-behaved brown bear on the sofa, then the Red Fox’s conscience kicked in, and he put in a good word for his agent: “This is Xiong He, Hanhai’s manager. He looks fierce but has a good temper. He is the evilest one among us, but he usually takes good care of people.”
Xiong He nodded towards Bai Ju with some restraint: “I have met Bai Wang.”
Bai Ju glanced at the two of them and probably knew their background.
This brown bear was estimated to be about two hundred years old and was not very old. He may have been born in a mountain with a strong spiritual energy. He became wise very early. It was visually estimated that he had been a spirit for seventy or eighty years, but he had not been among humans for a long time.
The red fox Qiu Ziran was even younger. He was estimated to be sixty or seventy years old now. He had been transformed for about forty years. He had very good spiritual bones. In the era when the energy of heaven and earth was strong, this guy would surely have been a cultivator. A good young man, if he went to a temple to practice, it would be easier for him to obtain a godly position than a wild boy like Bai Ju.
The better thing was that these two little demons had no sins on their bodies, and even had a touch of merit. It could be seen that they were indeed living an honest life.
Bai Ju took off his small backpack and put it on the sofa in the lounge and explained his purpose to the two of them: “Today, I will follow your live recording with Director Xiao and Team Qu; you should also be careful. For one thing, there are a lot of people at the scene today, and accidents may occur; no matter what happens, make sure you are in a place where the camera can record it, and besides…”
Bai Ju opened his backpack, took out two little carrot pendants, and threw one to each of Qiu Ziran and Xiong He: “Be sure to wear this recording pen on your body and keep recording as much as possible; with my protection, it can avoid interference to the greatest extent.”
Xiong He and Qiu Ziran looked at each other and couldn’t help but become serious.
Xiong He couldn’t care less about being cautious, and quickly asked: “Bai Wang, what is going on? Is someone trying to harm us?”
Bai Ju was still looking for the recording pens for the several other little demons, and he simply replied after hearing this: “It’s just possible.”
In the current warlock world, due to the decline of Shinto, the average level of warlocks had also dropped significantly. People with sufficient strength may not have enough say. This had led to many demons hiding their traces and passing the blame when they cause trouble. So that the chance of success for others could increase.
At this time, with the help of human technology, enough evidence could be left behind to help Red Fox and the others prove their innocence.
Bai Ju quickly took out the other two recorders and handed them to Xiong He: “Go and tell the remaining two little demons a word or two.” The assistant team next door were all humans, and Bai Ju wasn’t good at dealing with overly enthusiastic human women, so he gave this task to the bear.
Xiong He quickly took the recorder, glanced at the red fox who was still sitting on the ground and putting on his earrings, and solemnly nodded to Bai Ju and said: “Thank you, Bai Wang.”
Bai Ju waved his hand in an old-fashioned way: “My responsibility.
Qiu Ziran still had some sense and quickly thanked following Xiong He: “Thank you, boss.”
Bai Ju: “…” This fox is really stupid.
Xiong He went next door to explain a few more words, which would probably take a while. Bai Ju moved a small stool and sat next to Qiu Ziran. He watched him hanging things on his body bit by bit, and then said, “The day before yesterday, some of your fans went to remove the advertising posters of Fengle Plaza.”
“Huh? – Hiss…” Qiu Ziran turned around in surprise, accidentally pulling his ear, and quickly raised his hand to rub it twice, “What’s going on? The posters in Fengle Plaza are not hung very high… Wait, those people, are they okay?”
The Red Fox thought about the height of the billboard in Fengle Plaza, and immediately felt nervous – if nothing happened, why would Bai Wang mention this today?
Qiu Ziran’s residence was in the Demon Management Bureau. If something happened in Fengle Plaza in Luo City, there was no way he wouldn’t hear about it at all.
“Did Bai Wang press the matter?” Qiu Ziran calmed down and quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
When Bai Ju mentioned this incident, it was definitely not completely okay that day, but the incident was resolved by him and Xiao Ju.
Bai Ju nodded and said: “Three little girls, two were holding the rope, and one climbed on the billboard to try to remove the poster. Then the rope broke and the billboard fell.”
Qiu Ziran took a breath.
The big boss just said two or three words, but Qiu Ziran could fully imagine the danger at that time. He couldn’t help but touch his heart and quickly thank: “Thank you, Bai Wang, for saving me!”
Bai Ju had originally lowered his eyes, but his eyes fell on the rivets on Qiu Ziran’s trousers, then he raised his eyelids when he heard this and looked into Qiu Ziran’s eyes: “That billboard almost hit Xiao Yao.”
Qiu Ziran suddenly trembled.
Xiao Bai Ju’s pair of black jade-like peach blossom eyes didn’t have any offensive power at first glance, but now the lines at the corners of his eyes had taken on a bit of sharpness. When he stared at people, they seemed to be peeking out from the darkness. He pointed the tip of the knife and kept approaching the opponent’s eyeball.
Bai Ju only stared at Qiu Ziran for a few seconds, and then looked away. He didn’t want to stare back at the red fox who had finally cleaned himself up.
“Little fox, who is targeting you?” Bai Ju lowered his eyes again, the tips of his teeth looming on his lips as he spoke slowly, “Think carefully, don’t let go of any clues.”
Qiu Ziran trembled, came to his senses, and glanced at Bai Ju, who looked like a well-behaved child, with a complicated expression.
He scratched his hair and frowned slightly: “I know… I will think about it carefully, and I will tell you as soon as I find anything.”
Qiu Ziran organized his words and talked about his life with Bai Ju: “It’s just that, Bai Wang, to tell you the truth, when I transformed, I was helped by people from the Buddhist sect. Later, I stayed in the temple to fulfill my vows until I came to the mortal world twenty-five years ago; at that time, the Demon Management Bureau had been established, and I was brought down the mountain by the little master of the temple and sent directly to the Demon Management Bureau. From then on, my life has been basically transparent.”
The red fox stood up, with a pair of bright brown eyes: “If I must say it, I, Qiu Ziran, have lived a fairly honest life in my short life, and I have never deliberately provoked anyone; but throughout my struggle, I may have blocked someone’s path, and I need some time to think carefully about this aspect.”
Bai Ju nodded helplessly: “As long as you remember.”
After a pause, Bai Ju lowered his voice again, and his tone seemed to be softer: “Be prepared for today’s live broadcast, don’t let anything slip… Judging from the comments online, you are generally a good artist.”
Ah, what a stingy compliment.
Qiu Ziran listened and knew that these past events were finally over.
Bai Ju stood up, stretched, walked a few steps, pointed at the panoramic surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling, and asked, “Is this thing on?”
Qiu Ziran glanced at it and replied, “It’s not on now. In order to ensure the safety of the artists, the lounge camera will not be opened unless you say hello in advance; of course, if there are valuables in the lounge and you won’t be back for a while, you can also apply for surveillance.”
“I understand.” Bai Ju nodded, “As long as you’re not here today, the surveillance camera will be on.”
Qiu Ziran agreed dryly: “Ah, okay.”
Although he didn’t think anything could be done to this lounge, you could always suffer less by listening to the boss.
Seeing that the little fox was still sleeping well, Bai Ju nodded with satisfaction, abandoned the small bench, sat cross-legged on the sofa, took out a toffee from his small backpack and threw it into his mouth.
There was nothing wrong with the red fox itself, but the guy who almost caused Xiao Yao to be injured was disgusting.
Bai Ju licked the toffee off his teeth and thought as he chewed it, it had been a long time since he lost his temper. It had been so long that he almost forgot what it was like to fight.
He hoped something could come into the net today.
Lenses, glass, water; they were all media through which mortals saw yin. People with weaker yang energy could occasionally see demons and ghosts through these media. Therefore, many ghosts used these media to amplify their abilities, thereby intimidating humans and breaking through defenses. Even the purpose of blowing out the sun fire, etc. was the same. At the same time, the things recorded by the camera could be regarded as one of the easiest things for ghosts to tamper with.
The lens was not much of a threat to a dirty thing with sufficient abilities. On the contrary, the lens could become a weapon for the dirty thing.
Bai Ju motioned to the little fox and the others to stay under the camera. Firstly, because he was there, he could ensure that the shots would not be affected by dirt and record the real scene. Secondly, he wanted to use this setting that seemed to be the home of the ghosts to lure the other party out.
Bai Ju was very hungry.
He didn’t mind filling his stomach with some offal.
