This Guy's Got a Screw Loose

"Hu Wen, Granduncle told us not to make trouble."

A young Fox Demon girl dressed in white stared coldly at the Fox Demon holding a sword.

Hu Wen grinned. "Granduncle meant we shouldn't kill anyone from the Three Prefectures Department. He never said we couldn't kill anyone else. These people captured our kin, and now they're bullying Xiao Qi. If we don't teach them a lesson, where's the Fox Clan's dignity?"

"If we kill someone, it'll affect our plans at Lingyun Mountain."

"Tushan Mo, I'm the one who brought you out to look for Ore Cores. You have no right to oppose me. Just do as you're told, and everything will be fine."

Hu Wen's eyes narrowed, his displeasure clear.

The girl in white said nothing more. She merely snorted and turned to leave.

Hu Wen waved dismissively, then pointed at three young Fox Demons. "The human who captured Xiao Qi is audacious enough to hang him at the Town Entrance in broad daylight to provoke us. Since that's what he wants, let's give it to him. You three, head to Lingyun Town and make a scene."

The three Fox Demons he'd picked all heard him eagerly, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"Let me go! You audacious humans! My granduncle won't let you get away with this!"
