Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage - Chapter 11

Hu Mengmeng’s legs went weak with terror.

She never imagined that the so-called “Charm” skill would be so potent. She didn’t even know exactly how she had triggered it; if someone asked her to do it again right now, she wouldn’t have a clue.

She tried to calm herself. Hearing the person in her arms breathing steadily, she realized the woman hadn’t woken up yet. Her first thought: Run. If the demon hunter woke up now, she’d surely hack her into mincemeat with that sword.

Hu Mengmeng tried to push Ye Xinyu away, but the woman only clung tighter. A firm, slender leg hooked around one of Hu Mengmeng’s own, and softness pressed against softness. Hu Mengmeng swallowed hard, feeling an inexplicable surge of restlessness.

This demon hunter has an incredible figure. Her skin is so smooth, and she smells so good…

Stop! Survival first! No lingering!

Hu Mengmeng pinched herself hard, forcing her mind to clear. She pried Ye Xinyu’s hands away and separated their bodies. Her own tails retracted back into her body, just like drawing back an arm.

Ye Xinyu lay naked on the lounge chair. In the faint glimmer of the night, her skin was so white she seemed to glow. Appearing cold, she curled into a ball, tucking her head near her knees with her feet arched tight.

Hu Mengmeng’s night vision had improved significantly. She could clearly see the curve of the woman’s waist, the line of her neck, and the lingering flush on her skin…

Hu Mengmeng stared dazed for a few seconds before slapping her own face, forcing herself to look away. She scrambled to find clothes on the ground, eventually tossing Ye Xinyu’s garments over her to cover her body.

Then she found her phone. The strange 12:00 AM announcement was a programmed alarm; she must have bumped something while running earlier. Thankfully, the phone wasn’t lost—otherwise, Su Mingli would have scolded her to death. That phone cost two thousand yuan, a significant expense for starting college.

Using the phone screen for light, she found her discarded underwear and the oversized short-sleeved shirt and camo pants she’d been issued for military training. The clothes were stretchy and intact, but when she pulled the shirt on, it felt tight—especially across the chest. When she tried to pull her pants up past her hips, they got stuck. Only then did she notice the anomaly: she had more tails now, and every single one was twice as thick and long as before.

“One, two, three, four, five!” She counted. She actually had five tails now, though one was slightly shorter than the rest, looking a bit underdeveloped.

In fox spirit lore, the number of tails represents cultivation level, ultimately determined by bloodline. Only royalty can reach nine tails, and even then, it’s mostly a legend; few ever actually achieve it. At eighteen, Hu Mengmeng was still in her “infancy” as a fox spirit. Even with natural talent and lifelong training, she should have only had two or three at most.

Now, she suddenly had four and a half—making her comparable to what humans called a “Great Demon.”

However, this didn’t mean she could walk the earth unopposed. Demons were few among humans, and demon hunters possessed various methods to match Great Demons—some were even stronger, backed by centuries of inherited knowledge. Humans generally had a higher aptitude for cultivation than demons. Ye Xinyu, for instance, was a genius who had reached the level of a Great Demon despite her youth.

Furthermore, humans possessed skills demons lacked: alchemy, array formations, and talismans. If caught by a powerful hunter, death was one outcome; the other was being forced into a contract as a servant. It would be a miserable existence.

This information surfaced from the new memories in her head, but some things remained a mystery. Why did… doing that with Ye Xinyu result in more tails? Her mind was filled with “Dual Cultivation” secrets, but those were mostly focused on mutual pleasure and benefit rather than the predatory “harvesting” techniques of evil spirits.

Hu Mengmeng scratched her furry head. She couldn’t think about that now. She had to go.

After taking a few steps, she looked back at Ye Xinyu. The woman was still curled up, and the clothes Hu Mengmeng had tossed only covered her waist. She didn’t know who owned this villa; if the owner returned and found her like this, wouldn’t they take advantage of her?

Hu Mengmeng bit her lip. She decided to dress Ye Xinyu and hide her slightly before leaving. Ye Xinyu was powerful; once she woke up, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to touch her.

Ye Xinyu’s pink lingerie set was torn, so Hu Mengmeng managed to drape it over her as best as she could. The outer layer was a black jumpsuit—tough, elastic, and intact. Hu Mengmeng gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and forced the jumpsuit onto Ye Xinyu, praying the whole time that she wouldn’t wake up.

She wasn’t a “true” demon; while she feared and even resented demon hunters, she still thought like a human. This bizarre one-night stand was caused by her own strange skill. Even if it was between two women and it was hard to say who “lost” more, she still felt somewhat guilty.

Once Ye Xinyu was dressed and showing no signs of waking, Hu Mengmeng exhaled in relief. She dragged the lounge chair into a corner and hid it behind a large potted plant.

With that done, she sprinted and leaped clean over the villa’s perimeter wall.

She knew she could jump, but she didn’t expect to clear five or six meters in height. Landing on a patch of grass, her heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. She patted her bosom to calm down and hurried toward the school.

After running a bit, she realized it was past midnight. Even if she got to the school, the dorm gates would be locked. How would she get in—climb the building? Based on that five-meter jump just now, it seemed possible.

She could try to find a hotel, but she hadn’t brought her ID.

And what about these ears and tails?! She couldn’t exactly bring them into the dorm! Usually, they retracted when she wasn’t emotional, but what was happening now? Why weren’t they disappearing?

Clutching her tails, she ran while mentally digging through her memories for a way to put them back. She was a Great Demon now, which meant she had the ability to maintain a human form. Though she lacked hybrid-specific skills, there were general transformation methods.

She tried a technique from her memory. After a long moment, the ears and tails finally retracted. As they vanished, her clothes felt significantly looser. She felt her head and backside to confirm they were gone, then continued toward the school, feeling much safer.

However, the moment she scaled the campus wall, something felt wrong. The sound of wind rushed toward her. Her senses were razor-sharp now; she instinctively threw herself backward. Her center of gravity shifted and she tumbled to the ground.

BAM!

The tree right behind where she had been standing erupted in blue flames.

A talisman?!

Hu Mengmeng didn’t stop to look. She scrambled to her feet and bolted. She could feel several people chasing her—at least a few of them had to be demon hunters, and they were armed with talismans. This was terrifying!
