Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage - Chapter 50
When Ye Xinyu woke up, it was already the next morning. She was covered with a soft, dry blanket, and her entire body felt warm and relaxed. Surrounding her was a sea of fiery red—Hu Mengmeng’s tails were coiled around her.
Before her eyes was Hu Mengmeng’s face, magnified. Even with her eyes closed, the girl’s features were exquisitely beautiful; her lashes were upturned, the corners of her eyes were elegantly hooked with a faint rosy flush, and her vivid lips were slightly curled upward, wearing an unmistakable expression of satisfaction and happiness.
Ye Xinyu’s face flushed, but her gaze was soft, filled with tenderness.
Her body didn’t feel tired at all; instead, she felt an unprecedented surge of energy. Her mental strength was robust, almost as if she had returned to her pre-pregnancy state.
Ye Xinyu remembered what Hu Mengmeng had said—they had been engaging in “Dual Cultivation,” which could enhance the cultivation of both parties. She also recalled that while she had been drifting in a daze of exhaustion earlier, spiritual energy had continued to circulate through her body. It was clean, non-attributed energy that permeated her limbs and bones, acting as a soothing massage.
Hu Mengmeng had been helping her recover.
Ye Xinyu felt both embarrassed and warmed. She gazed at Hu Mengmeng for only a second or two before the girl’s eyes suddenly snapped open. Those beautiful, alluring eyes flashed with unabashed joy.
“Sister, you’re awake!” Hu Mengmeng pulled Ye Xinyu into her embrace and nuzzled her, her voice bright and cheerful.
Ye Xinyu felt a wave of distress. Hu Mengmeng had placed her directly on top of her—and neither of them was wearing any clothes!
“Sister, how does your body feel? Any discomfort?” Hu Mengmeng asked.
“No. How much time has passed? We should get up,” Ye Xinyu said, forcing herself to remain composed.
“Sister, you’re so bad. Treating me like that… you had those things prepared all along, didn’t you? You must have been planning to help me from the start. Even if I hadn’t formed the contract with you, you still would have helped. Sister, you’re so good! I like you so much! Sister… do you like me a lot too?” Hu Mengmeng pouted as she spoke, her voice coiling and seductive. Instead of letting go, she held Ye Xinyu even tighter.
The meeting and collision of mountains and valleys caused subterranean waters to burst forth; it looked as if another volcanic eruption was imminent.
“I helped you only because I didn’t want you wandering off looking for someone else. You are my contracted demon now; you can only carry my scent. A lot of time has passed. Get up, we have serious business!” Ye Xinyu said with a stern face, though her heart felt like it was about to explode.
This little vixen… how can she be like this? Is she never going to stop!
“Sister, I’m still in my estrus period. It takes ten days to end. You wouldn’t just help once and not see it through to the end, would you?” Hu Mengmeng hugged Ye Xinyu, her voice full of wheedling charm.
Looking at Ye Xinyu’s deadpan, serious face, Hu Mengmeng felt a surge of playful interest. How can she be this cute? Clearly, she liked her immensely—her physical reactions were so honest—yet her mouth refused to admit it.
“…” Ye Xinyu was speechless, her eyes filled with shock and shame. Did they really have to be together like this for ten whole days? Even with the records she had researched, they hadn’t been detailed enough to describe exactly what happens during a demon’s estrus period.
“Sister, don’t be scared, I’m teasing you. You were amazing yesterday; everything I had stored up was released. It’ll probably take a full day before I accumulate enough to lose control again. Half a day has already passed,” Hu Mengmeng said, feeling Ye Xinyu’s body go stiff. She stroked her hair to comfort her, a smile playing on her lips.
“Get up! Or I’ll use the power of the Master-Servant contract!” Ye Xinyu snapped in embarrassment, threatening her with a contract power that didn’t even exist.
“Alright, alright, let’s get up.” Hu Mengmeng stopped teasing her. A day and a night had passed; Ye Xinyu must be starving.
Ye Xinyu was released and immediately wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. “Go back to your own room and get dressed,” she said, with only her head peeking out.
Hu Mengmeng looked at her, leaned in to hug her through the blanket, and gave her a kiss on the corner of her mouth before finally standing up. Because she had her tails to cover her, she didn’t need clothes to step out—her tails acted like a plush fur coat.
Once Hu Mengmeng left, Ye Xinyu rubbed her burning face. This little vixen is far too bold! Whether human or demon, Ye Xinyu was three years older than Hu Mengmeng. Just now, she had the distinct feeling that Hu Mengmeng was playing with her. How could she not be embarrassed? She had to hold her ground; she couldn’t let a little kid suppress her. It was too humiliating!
Ye Xinyu washed up and changed into clothes suitable for going out: a long black trench coat. She had intended to pair it with a shirt, but because of the “hickies” on her neck, she had to switch to a high-collared knit sweater. She checked herself in the mirror. Her eyes were shimmering, and her cheeks were still flushed; she looked like someone basking in the glow of spring.
No, this won’t do. Gu Yiying will definitely make fun of me.
Ye Xinyu practiced the Ye family’s internal mental technique, quieting her mind and body before finally stepping out with a cold, solemn expression.
Hu Mengmeng was waiting for her. She had also changed, reverting to her girl-next-door appearance. Her hair had shortened again, and she wore her own clothes: a loose, light pink cartoon hoodie, jeans, and sneakers. Since her urge had been satisfied for now, her fox bloodline was content and could be retracted. She intentionally wore loose clothing so that any sudden transformation wouldn’t be uncomfortably tight.
“Sister!” Hu Mengmeng called out. She looked both happy and constrained, her face flushing with shyness.
“Yes. Let’s go.” Ye Xinyu didn’t say much. After those two simple words, she walked straight ahead with a stern face. But as she took the lead, the corners of her mouth curled slightly. This brat… now she knows how to be shy!
Hu Mengmeng followed closely, watching her carefully as they went downstairs. Su Mingli, Huo Zhilan, Gu Yiying, and Tao Tao were all there.
“Xinyu, Mengmeng, you’re finally down. What kind of cultivation were you doing that you couldn’t even come down for meals?” Huo Zhilan asked.
Gu Yiying smirked from the side; only Huo Zhilan and Tao Tao were kept in the dark. Su Mingli had her suspicions, but seeing Hu Mengmeng’s glowing eyes and the way she was practically glued to Ye Xinyu, she was now certain.
“We needed to enhance our strength to deal with that fox demon,” Ye Xinyu said calmly, as if they had indeed been doing strictly professional business. Hu Mengmeng glanced at her but kept her mouth shut.
“Hurry up and eat. Health is important,” Su Mingli said, heading to the kitchen to bring out the food.
It was already past 9:00 AM. Since the second floor had been sealed, the others couldn’t go up. Even with cultivation, they hadn’t reached the level of “Inedia” (fasting), so they were starving after such a long ordeal. Ye Xinyu’s phase of poor appetite seemed to have passed; the food looked and tasted delicious to her. Hu Mengmeng ate while constantly serving Ye Xinyu. They polished off a breakfast meant for four. Ye Xinyu still felt a bit unsatisfied, so Hu Mengmeng immediately made her a sandwich with warm milk, bread, vegetables, egg, bacon, and salad dressing.
“What’s the situation now? Have we narrowed down Hu Qingqing’s location?” Ye Xinyu asked Gu Yiying after finishing.
“She’s still in Fengcheng. I had people set up talisman arrays across the city. While they haven’t caught her, they’ve boxed her in. The East, West, and South arrays have all shown signs of being triggered. Only the northern suburbs haven’t been triggered yet, meaning she’s likely there. We’ll know once we check,” Gu Yiying explained.
“Good, let’s head out immediately,” Ye Xinyu said.
“Be careful,” Su Mingli urged as they prepared to leave.
“Mom, don’t worry. Our cultivation has improved after practicing together,” Hu Mengmeng assured her.
“Still, don’t be careless. Mengmeng, protect Xinyu well.”
Hu Mengmeng hugged her mother and promised to keep herself and Ye Xinyu safe.
Gu Yiying left Tao Tao behind. Hu Qingqing was not an easy opponent, so she had Tao Tao stay at the villa. The protection array would hold for a while, and since Tao Tao could sense spiritual fluctuations, she could alert them if anything changed.
As they departed, inside an abandoned factory in the northern suburbs, Hu Qingqing was in her fox form, surrounded by dark energy. Beside her were two other demons: a black cat demon of similar strength, and a tiny, palm-sized gray rat that radiated an even denser, more powerful dark aura. All were in their strongest demon forms, wary of each other.
“The layout of Fengcheng has left only this area without talisman arrays. You’ve likely tested the others,” the gray rat demon spoke in an aged voice. “The demon hunters are trying to drive you here to wipe you out. I know both of you have records and have suffered at their hands. Instead of running, follow me. We’ll strike back and capture them. Then, Fengcheng will be ours. My master is very generous.”
“Don’t give us empty promises; we want something real,” the black cat demon snorted. “I know your master is from the Ou family in Dragon City—they’re ruthless. You’re their slave, but we aren’t. Don’t try to catch us later.”
“Exactly. Old demon, you need to offer something substantial,” Hu Qingqing said with a smirk, a hint of excitement in her eyes. She wanted to deal with Ye Xinyu anyway, but Hu Mengmeng’s strength had made her wary. Now, someone had come to her specifically to deal with them. She could fish in troubled waters.
“There will be rewards. First, a set of protective armor from our Tool Sect, specifically crafted for demons to resist Righteous Qi. Once we capture them, you’ll each get five pills from the Pill Sect to boost your cultivation. I will take a blood oath not to harm you or interfere with your freedom if you help me,” the gray rat promised.
“If that’s the case, it’s not a bad deal. Where are the—” Hu Qingqing started.
Suddenly, the gray rat demon felt something was wrong. The fur on Hu Qingqing and the cat demon stood on end as they sensed approaching danger.
“Old Turtle, is that you?” the gray rat demon frowned at the surroundings.
“Heh, Brother Shuo, it’s been a long time,” a slow, aged voice answered. A massive tortoise, roughly a meter in diameter, crawled slowly into view. It moved at a snail’s pace and carried no demonic aura; instead, it radiated the aura of a human.
