Chapter 55: Hu’er
The moment Ling Chen entered his room and closed the door behind him, the little black fox that was on his right shoulder suddenly moved, and the four cute baby black paws pressed down on him as it sprang forth.
As the little black fox leaped away from Ling Chen's shoulder, its small body seemed to expand out rapidly, by the time it landed on the ground, it had quickly become a five feet long and four feet tall immense tree-tails black fox.
The tall immense black fox's body was covered with a large number of dark wavy and patterned lines that seemed like a tiger's stripes. It had long thin legs, lithe frame, pointed nose, and three dark bushy long tails.
Its eyes were like a bottomless pool of darkness and were filled with fierceness and pride. In all, the black fox looked very beautiful and graceful.
As it landed on the ground, the black fox raised its head to look at Ling Chen with a menacing look on its eyes before it began to slowly and gracefully walked towards the bed and jumped onto it and silently lay there.
It must be said that its graceful stride was indeed quite beautiful to behold.
"Hu'er, are you gonna make me sleep on the floor again. Can't you just change into your small size that way there would be enough space for both us to share the same bed."
Hu'er was the nickname given to the black fox by Ling Chen. However, its complete name was Ling Mo Jiehu.
As for why it was called that way, let's just say that the little black fox was a cruel demon fox and its name was meant to prevent others from needlessly seeking their deaths by annoying it.
"you are still mad at me. I told you that I don't have any more True Qi stone or spiritual fruits. You ate them all." Ling Chen said with a look of grievances on his face.
Hu'er didn't even look at him as though he didn't exist.
When Ling Chen first took Hu'er under his wing, he would've never thought that it was the reincarnation of a starving ghost or the gluttonous God that would one day eat him broke.
When Ling Chen left the Heavenly Demon Sect, he was like a billionaire with many True Qi stones, medicinal pills, and spiritual treasures. However, three months later, he was so broke that he could barely pay for a place to stay or to feed himself. And all of this was because of that gluttonous little fox.
The only reason that Ling Chen didn't feel really bad after Hu'er ate him broke was the fact that it has gotten really strong after eating all of these spiritual treasures.
Right now, Hu'er was at the peak of 5th rank which was similar to a human warrior at the peak of Martial Lord.
This was truly a frightening speed of cultivation. Ling Chen had realized that just like him, Hu'er had a devouring ability. While he needed lifeforce and blood to get stronger, Hu'er only needed rare spiritual medicines or spiritual fruits to quickly boost its cultivation base or evolve.
Furthermore, after it had evolved into a peak 5th rank demon beast, it was capable of changing its size at will.
It could easily make itself smaller from its regular size. However, it couldn't make itself bigger or larger from its true size.
Aside from that, when its body became larger, its speed reduced and its offensive abilities greatly increased and when it became smaller, its speed vastly increased while its offensive abilities decreased.
The only thing Ling Chen felt a little bad about was the fact that he still couldn't communicate with Hu'er. It had to at least evolve into a 6th rank demon beast before they could communicate with each other spiritually.
Though they could understand each other through body language, eye gesture, and sign language, it still wasn't enough.
" How about this, tomorrow I am going to look everywhere within the city to see if I can find any True Qi Stone and spiritual fruits for you." Ling Chen said with a sincere look on his face.
However, while Ling Chen was expecting to see Hu'er jumping up and down from happiness, it only looked at him with a disgusted and aggrieved look on its face before it turned its head around, ignoring him.
Upon seeing the disgusted look on its face, Ling Chen realized that Hu'er was really mad at him and unless he apologized for the real reason it was mad, they won't go anywhere with their relationship.
"Ok, I am sorry for pressing you down in the bed in against your will in order to see if you were whether a male or a female." Ling Chen said with an apologetic look on his face while lowering his head downward in shame.
Indeed, a week ago Fang Lan asked him if he knew the gender of the Hu'er which he obviously didn't know.
Curious, three days ago, in this very room, Ling Chen decided to check if Hu'er was male or female. As such, he pressed it down into the bed at night and tried to see what was between its leg.
As many of you might have guessed, Hu'er didn't take this act kindly. It was so angry that it suddenly changed into its tall immense size and almost bite Ling Chen's head off.
However, Ling Chen was too strong for Hu'er and easily subdued it. Ever since then, Hu'er had been holding a grudge against Ling Chen.
"Wuu wuu, wuu, wuu." Hu'er cried angrily while shaking its cute big head angrily, its pitch-black eyes filled with fury. It bared its teeth at Ling Chen but did not do anything.
"Why can't you forgive me. I told you that I am sorry already. I promised that it would never happen again."
'Of course, it won't happen again, I already know that you are a female fox' thought Ling Chen. However, he didn't say that out loud.
" You know I wouldn't do anything to harm you. I just let my curiosity get the best of me. So can you please forgive big broth Ling this time." Ling Chen said with a pleading look on his face.
Ling Chen was indeed sorry for what he did. As Hu'er got stronger, it became smarter as well and it also started to become self-aware of herself as a female fox.
Wuu…" Hu'er was extremely aggrieved and gave a sad cry in agreement. Though she was mad at Ling Chen for what he did, she decided to forgive him but that didn't mean that she wasn't still mad at him.
After a while, Hu'er's body suddenly returned to her cute little size before closing its eyes.
Upon seeing this, Ling Chen's lips suddenly curved upward into a huge smile before he walked towards the bed and hopped into it.
However, he didn't immediately go to sleep but sat on a meditative stance.
"It's been some time since I last checked the growth of the dark tree within my sea of consciousness as well as the fruits of creation." Murmured Ling Chen to himself before he closed his eyes.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Nimero
Nimero This is but a small chapter. I'll try to post another one again later today. I know you hits can't wait to see how strong Ling Chen has become etc.
I wanted to add all of this chapter but I realized it was.goijg to be a long-ass chapter if I did. I don't like going a long chapter when I have to proofread and edit it myself over again. It drives me crazy.
Considered this half of a chapter or as part 1 and part 2 will be coming later.
Thank you for reading.
