Chapter 289: Alternative Version of the Seventy-two Halls
Tushan Rongrong watched Gongsun Ce's actions and felt a little confused.

This is Tushan's unique magic. The intercepted energy will definitely return to its owner, but why did this energy first come to Gongsun Ce and then be blown away by Gongsun Ce?

Tushan Rongrong was very confused and couldn't understand. This was beyond her understanding. However, Tushan Rongrong was the intellectual representative of Tushan after all. She quickly came to her senses and looked at Gongsun Ce with a smile.

"This gentleman's methods are indeed powerful. Even the magic inherited from our Tushan can't have any effect on you. However, this does not prove that you are not the culprit."

Gongsun Ce looked at Tushan Rongrong, shrugged and said, "But you don't have any evidence to prove that I did it, right?"

After saying that, Gongsun Ce just looked at Tushan Rongrong and Tushan Honghong, as if waiting for their next words. If they didn't say anything, he really planned to leave.

It is impossible to get compensation, it will never be possible to get compensation in this lifetime. The best you can do is to shrug off the issue and leave the mess for others to deal with.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon five or six minutes had passed.

Gongsun Ce did not wait for Tushan Honghong and Tushan Rongrong to say anything, so he planned to leave here and go to Beishan to look for Shi Kuan.

At this moment, Tushan Honghong suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked Gongsun Ce: "Sir, are you the one who helped me and purified the ancient tree of suffering?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Gongsun Ce said to Tushan Honghong with a nonchalant expression.

Tushan Honghong suddenly clasped her fists and bowed to Gongsun Ce, saying, "Since you and I, Tushan, have helped me purify the ancient bitter love tree, then you cannot compensate for the damage you have caused."

When Gongsun Ce heard this, a hint of deep meaning suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that Tushan Honghong could connect her with the people who helped him purify the ancient tree of suffering.

After all, Gongsun Ce helped Tushan Honghong, but he didn't show much strength. It was mostly the Bitterness Ancient Tree and Tushan Honghong who were purifying the Bitterness Ancient Tree and fighting Fengqi at the same time.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce’s idea of ​​leaving suddenly faded a little.

He suddenly looked at Tu Shan Rong Rong meaningfully and said, "How about this, you little fox can be my pet.

Not to mention the losses that Tushan suffered this time, even if it was the losses that Tushan suffered when the Taoist priests of the Yiqi Dao League came to provoke you before, I will definitely compensate you, how about it?"

Gongsun Ce's words were very attractive to Tushan Honghong, especially for Tushan, which was in urgent need of a lot of funds for recovery and development.

Tushan has not had a Demon King in charge for many years and has been weak for many years. Therefore, in the eyes of many people in the Yiqi Dao League, Tushan is the best place to establish prestige and fame.

Therefore, Tushan was often harassed by Taoist priests from the Yiqi Daomeng, and many places were destroyed.

It would cost a lot of money to repair these places.

However, Tushan Honghong still believed in the peace between humans and demons, so when the Yiqidao League invaded Tushan several times, Tushan Honghong only gave them a light punishment, taking away their money and driving them out of Tushan.

However, most of the Yiqi Daomeng Taoists who came to Tushan to cause trouble would spend a lot of money to buy life-saving props, so they were all poor.

Tushan was in a state of total expenditure rather than income, otherwise, Tushan Honghong would not have set up a rule to take advantage of others - anyone passing through Tushan, no matter who it was, had to leave money as toll.

However, Tushan Honghong would never let Tushan Rongrong follow Gongsun Ce around everywhere, not only because Tushan Rongrong was her external brain.

More importantly, Tushan Rongrong is her family, and family members should not be abandoned in exchange for benefits.

However, Tushan Rongrong did not think so. She could feel that Gongsun Ce actually had no ill will towards her and said this purely out of his own bad taste.

However, Tushan Rongrong saw new business opportunities in Gongsun Ce's words.

It also wanted to choke Gongsun Ce. Tushan Rongrong nodded and said, "Okay," under Tushan Honghong's surprised expression.

After hearing Tushan Rongrong's words, Gongsun Ce's expression changed slightly.

Because for Gongsun Ce, whether Tushan Rongrong agreed or not, it actually didn’t have much impact.

Of course, if Tushan Rongrong agreed, he would have an extra fox demon in loli form, who could touch his ears and so on.

The same is true for Tushan Rongrong. Even if she stays with Gongsun Ce all the time, she is sure that she can leave at any time and anywhere without Gongsun Ce noticing.

In order to hide her own magical powers and develop her own strength, Tushan Rongrong integrated her own magical powers into the seeds of the ancient bitter tree, scattered them in the Tushan area, and gradually spread outward.

Five hundred years later, the saplings of the ancient bitter tree even showed a tendency to cover the entire circle.

Therefore, Tushan Rongrong did not seem to have any demonic power in her body, nor did she transform into an adult-sized fox demon like her sister, who was painted red.

Instead, she has always maintained a loli-style fox state, which looks very peculiarly cute, but one should never underestimate Tushan Rongrong because of this.

Seeing that Tushan Rongrong agreed, Gongsun Ce did not hesitate. He landed directly from the sky and then walked to Tushan Rongrong's side.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and touched the pair of fox ears on Tushan Rongrong's head.

I have to say, the fox's ears are furry and feel pretty good to touch, at least better than the tiger's ears.

Tushan Rongrong did not expect that Gongsun Ce would directly pick her up and stroke her fox ears after she agreed to the conditions.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ce threw a space ring to Tushan Honghong without waiting for her to react, and only said: "This is a space ring, which can be used to store items, even magic tools, and the space inside is not small.

If you sell it, it will be enough to make up for all the losses you have suffered in Tushan in recent years.

As for your sister, I will take her away to raise her for a while. When I no longer want to raise a fox, I will let her go back."

Looking at the ring on her hand, Tushan Honghong fell into deep thought. Does this count as selling out her sister for profit?
Tushan Rongrong is considered to be a very intelligent person by Tushan Honghong. Logically speaking, Tushan Rongrong should not put herself in danger.

So Tushan Honghong is a little confused now. She is used to doing things manually, and now it is her turn to think about the problem, which makes her a little slow to react.

Tushan Honghong thought for a moment and had a rough guess. Maybe Tushan Rongrong had her own plan, so she didn't need to worry too much.

Just after Gongsun Ce took Tushan Rongrong away, another Tushan Rongrong came to Tushan Honghong from not far away.

She smiled and said to Tushan Honghong: "Sister, that is just my clone, just let him take it away, he can't do anything he wants anyway."

Although he exposed some of his abilities, Tushan Rongrong thought it was a great profit.

After selling a storage magic device, it would be enough to make up for Tushan’s losses over the years, and there might even be some left over.

However, just as Tushan Rongrong was smiling like a little fox that had stolen the honey, her expression suddenly changed. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible?"

This sound did not escape Tushan Honghong's ears. After all, the two of them were very close to each other, and Tushan Rongrong's exclamation was really loud.

Tushan Honghong, who started to think, naturally noticed the reason why Tushan Rongrong's face suddenly changed.

Originally, Tushan Rongrong should be in her original state now, and Gongsun Ce took away only a clone.

But now the situation suddenly reversed. The clone that was taken away by Gongsun Ce became the real body, and the real body that now appeared in front of Tushan Honghong became the clone.

It was as if some force had swapped the positions of her clone and her original body without Tushan Rongrong's permission.

How could Tushan Rongrong not panic? Then, Tushan Rongrong could not help but look in the direction of the sapling of the ancient bitter tree closest to Longwan.

She also realized that only the Ancient Tree of Bitterness could switch between her original body and her clone without her noticing.

In other words, the miserable ancient tree in Tushan is truly a traitor to the country!

It is obvious that they, the Tushan fox demons, are the ones who have lived with the Ancient Bitterness Tree for the longest time and understand the existence of the Ancient Bitterness Tree best.

Why would the miserable ancient tree help an outsider?
Facing Tushan Honghong's concerned gaze, Tushan Rongrong wanted to hide the matter, but found that she didn't know how to hide it, so she could only tell Tushan Honghong what she had noticed.

Tushan Honghong looked a little strange after hearing this. It turned out to be just as she had guessed.

Tushan Honghong couldn't help but think of the time when Gongsun Ce helped her purify the ancient tree of bitterness.

She said to Tushan Rongrong with some uncertainty: "It may be because he wanted to help me purify the Ancient Tree of Bitterness, which caused the power of the Ancient Tree of Bitterness to be more inclined towards him and me.

And Rongrong, your relationship with the ancient bitter love tree is not as close as the relationship between him, me and the ancient bitter love tree.

In other words, the sad ancient tree wants to help him more than help you. Faced with this situation, I am powerless.

However, we need to trust the judgment of the Ancient Tree of Bitterness. The other party should not want to do anything to you."

However, is the truth really as Tushan Honghong thought? The answer is of course the existence of Schrödinger.

Because Gongsun Ce had not figured out what to do specifically with Tushan Rongrong.

Gongsun Ce held Tushan Rongrong in one hand, rubbing the fox ears on her head from time to time.

This brought a blush to Tushan Rongrong's face.

Tushan Rongrong wanted to avoid Gongsun Ce's hand, but found that no matter how she turned her head, or even controlled the twisting of her fox ears, she could not avoid Gongsun Ce's accurate palm.

Tushan Rongrong could only helplessly say to Gongsun Ce: "Sir, please respect yourself and don't touch my ears again."

Gongsun Ce asked Tushan Rongrong in return: "Have you forgotten? I want to keep you as a pet. As a master, if I want to do something to a pet, does the pet have room to resist?"

Tushan Rongrong had nothing to say, but in her heart she also promptly connected with the power of the ancient tree of suffering.

Her clone was taken away by Gongsun Ce, so she naturally had to let her real body go and reunite with Tushan Honghong.

However, at this moment, she was also surprised to find that her clone in Gongsun Ce's place had turned into her original form, and she didn't know when.

In other words, although Tushan Rongrong still has many clones in the subtrees of the ancient tree of bitterness, her real body is actually in the hands of Gongsun Ce.

If Gongsun Ce wanted to do something to her, she would not even have a chance to escape.

After all, in Tushan Rongrong's view, the ancient tree of bitterness had completely sided with Gongsun Ce and betrayed her true self.

If one wanted to send Tushan Rongrong's true body into Gongsun Ce's arms without anyone noticing, how could it be possible without the help of the ancient bitter tree?
This made Tushan Rongrong a little flustered, as her biggest trump card was gone.

Moreover, her true identity may have been completely revealed to Gongsun Ce by the ancient tree of suffering.

Gongsun Ce looked at Tushan Rongrong's changing expression and smiled gently.

The little fox had a lot on her mind, but unfortunately her final trump card still fell into her own hands.

Of course, he can spend the next period of time petting the fox.

The space ring was nothing to her, but the sweet and soft green little fox was quite rare to him.

After deliberately slowing down the speed and flying in the air with Tushan Rongrong for a while, Gongsun Ce seemed to remember something.

So, he asked Tushan Rongrong: "I know you are panicking now, but don't panic. I have something to ask you. Do you know any information about Shi Kuan?"

"Shi Kuan?" Tushan Rongrong couldn't help but feel confused. What did Gongsun Ce want to do by asking for Shi Kuan's information?
However, Gongsun Ce did not answer her question, but threw another space ring to Tushan Rongrong.

"This is a space ring that can store items. It's my reward to you. I believe you must know Shi Kuan's origins. Just tell me his information, especially his true form."

Tushan Rongrong looked at the space ring in her hand, rubbed it for a while, and put it directly on her hand.

Tushan Rongrong probed her magic power into the space ring. When she sensed the space inside the space ring, her smile became even sweeter. This is a big customer!

Afterwards, Tushan Rongrong began to explain Shi Kuan's information without any hesitation.

Shi Kuan’s information was of no importance to Tushan Rongrong. Being able to sell it at this price was already a very affordable thing.

“Shi Kuan has many titles, including Lord of Destruction, Demon King of Beishan, etc. And his strength is also very strong, especially his original body.

According to widely circulated news in the demon world, Shi Kuan is a stone demon.

But no one knows the exact appearance of Shi Kuan's prototype.

There are many speculations in the demon world about this. Some demons speculate that Shi Kuan is a stone giant, and some speculate that Shi Kuan is the core of the mountain...

Therefore, although Shi Kuan's true identity is unclear, he possesses an extremely strong physique and strength.

At the same time, he also possesses a special magical power that can decompose other objects and even spiritual energy. This ability is somewhat similar to his sister's insulating claws. "
