Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 165 The Fire Fox of Buqiu

It seems the first thing to do now is to transform back into human form as soon as possible.

Then hurry out and head ahead to Hundred Steps Hill at the northernmost tip of Spirit Beast Mountain to find the Fire Fox Clan.

Lu He meditated for a whole night, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth from the spiritual veins, allowing his injuries to heal rapidly.

Of course, that was her original plan, but she fell asleep in the middle of the night. She fell from that branch, broke the branch, and the medicinal herb was revealed, looking fresh and vibrant.

She was dazed and confused from the fall, but fortunately she obtained a magic medicine.

After swallowing the elixir, Lu He was instantly surrounded by iridescent light, and his shadow transformed from a cat into a human, instantly taking shape.

When Lu He opened her eyes again, she looked at the shadow cast on the ground with surprise. Her figure was really curvy.

She gazed at her reflection in the pool of spiritual energy...

What kind of clothes are these?

Is the skirt slit that high?

Such a deep V-neck?

Such a low-cut top?

No! These are just a few pieces of rags!

Damn it, this darn harem anime, are all the girls dressed like this?

To be honest, the female characters in this comic can't even put together a decent outfit.

Lu He was furious and immediately used her demonic power to change herself into a comfortable and normal set of clothes.

One good thing about this world is that people can use demonic power and cast spells.

She checked her level and, sure enough, after taking the elixir, she had steadily reached level eight.

Ha, that male lead is such a useless piece of trash. Even after taking the drug, he can only reach level seven. What makes him worthy of being the male lead?

After tidying up her appearance, Lu He opened the comic book again. It didn't say how to get to Hundred Steps Hill, it only said to go north.

"Didn't I already give you the world map?" The system couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but remind her.

"Why does it seem like your IQ has dropped since you turned into a cat?"

"I'm just having trouble adapting to this inhuman world for a while, that's perfectly normal," Lu He tried to save face.

She took out the map scroll and untied the gold ribbon attached to it.

The moment it was unrolled, the map scroll disappeared.

"Huh?" Lu He was taken aback. What happened?

"Once you open it, the map will be automatically stored in your inner core. You can view the map directly from within, which is very convenient," the system continued its tutorial.

The logic of this magical world is indeed different from that of ordinary worldviews. Lu He had read few comics of this kind before, and she didn't like reading about things like cultivation and immortality.

Therefore, it is understandable that many people do not understand common sense.

"I see many time travelers who know this world mechanism very well. How come you came here and look like an idiot?"

The system doesn't understand either.

"Because I don't like reading these kinds of comics and novels, please remind me of the common sense questions later on." There was nothing else I could do but accept it.

Ever since this monster legend comic came along, Lu He has been unhappy. Firstly, she doesn't like harem themes, and secondly, she's unfamiliar with this kind of monster worldview.

This is very detrimental to her successfully completing this time travel mission.

"Okay, I understand. I'll keep a close eye on you and teach you anything you need to know."

With the system's support, things might get a little better later on.

Lu He checked the route on the map and then set off for Baibuqiu.

The journey isn't far; it should only take a day.

In the comic, this fire fox demon is the next fox king of the fire fox clan. She holds a high position and is very powerful, but she is still devoted to Tan You and would rather give up inheriting the throne.

Moreover, her name never appears in the book; she is only referred to as "Young Master".

That night, after she cast a spell and became infatuated with Tan You, she chased after him and helped him resolve many issues.

Tan You also relied on the power of his master—no, the power of the fox clan—to challenge many powerful figures and gain great benefits by taking advantage of the Fire Fox Clan's support.

As a result, less than a year later, he angered a powerful demon and caused the death of the Fire Fox Prince.

The old fox king even issued a warrant for his arrest, wanting to take his cat's life.

What a scoundrel! This Tan You dislikes the Fire Fox Young Master on one hand, yet is unwilling to give up his power and status on the other.

On one hand, he said he wanted to give the human girl an explanation, but on the other hand, he was having ambiguous relationships with other demons outside.

Isn't this a classic scumbag novel? Who on earth wants to read this? Lu He couldn't help but click her tongue in disbelief.

To speed up her pace, she transformed into a black cat and raced through the forest, quickly arriving at Hundred Steps Hill before dusk.

This Hundred Steps Hill is an endless grassland.

Like an emerald, it is set between heaven and earth.

The grass is dotted with colorful wildflowers, like a natural embroidered carpet.

Lu He took a deep breath, as if he could smell the fragrance of fresh grass.

She lifted her foot to step onto Hundred Steps Hill.

"Stop right there!" the system shouted.

Lu He's foot stopped in mid-air, and a thin net had cut a small gash on her toenail.

She gasped. Good heavens! If she took that step, she'd probably be shredded to pieces.

This is the defensive barrier of Hundred Steps Hill. It was originally an invisible talisman, but as soon as Lu He lifted his foot, his fingernail touched the barrier, so the dense golden net appeared.

"That was close, that game was almost over..."

Lu He took a step back, sat on the grass, and patted his chest hard, saying, "That scared me to death!"

"Who goes there! How dare you trespass on Hundred Steps Hill!" A young man with his hair tied up and wearing a silver crown descended from the sky.

The boy had red hair, sword-shaped eyebrows, and wore a single-layered green silk robe with floral patterns, with a silver double-tailed tortoise-shell belt around his waist. He held a silver fire-tipped spear in his hand.

As expected of a fox, she's really beautiful. Isn't she much prettier than that Tan You?

Lu He thought to herself silently.

The boy thrust the tip of his gun forward, pointing it at Lu He's nose: "I'm asking you a question!"

Only then did she come to her senses and realize that she needed to quickly pay her respects to their young master.

"I am a demon beast living on this Spirit Beast Mountain. My name is Qin Wu. I wish to pay my respects to your young master!" Lu He tried to appear as humble as possible.

"What brings you here?" The young man raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

"This is not convenient for me to tell you, but I have a past relationship with your young master..."

"Nonsense!" The silver spear became even more sharp, its edge flashing: "My young master has never left Hundred Steps Hill, so how could there be any past relationship!"

Lu He was an old hand at making up lies; she calmly and gently brushed the gun tip aside with her hand.

"Are you so sure your young master hasn't come out? She's sneaked out many times before."

"Impossible! With me, Mu Fang, guarding the entrance to the barrier, not even a fly can get in or out of here!"

"You're kidding me." Lu He deliberately mocked Mu Fang: "I think you're just a level seven demon beast. If it weren't for this barrier, you wouldn't even be able to stop me."

Seeing that Mu Fang had stopped moving and seemed to have a mental block, Lu He quickly continued, "Besides, what level is your young master? She wants to sneak out. Think about it. With your skills, do you think you can find her?"

That Fire Fox Young Master is a level fourteen demon beast, meaning that in this world of mountains and seas, as long as he doesn't encounter a powerful demon, he can practically roam freely.

This world has the most monsters at levels one to seven, and fewer at higher levels. Monsters at levels eight to twelve are considered to be in the upper-middle range.

Levels 17 to 20 are considered Great Demons.

Beyond the Great Demons, there are probably only ancient demonic beasts, whose upper limits are all question marks.

As expected, he had fooled Mu Fang, and he began to have some doubts about Hu Sheng.

"Why don't you go and inform them first, that Qin Wu requests an audience because of Tan You!" Lu He decided to bring up Tan You's name, since he didn't know why the Fire Fox Young Master had fallen for Tan You.

But you must have gone to find him because of his reputation.

Mu Fang thought for a moment. In any case, since he didn't open the barrier from the inside, even a level eight demon beast couldn't break it from the outside, so there shouldn't be any problem.

So he quickly transformed into a fire fox, and in a flash, he disappeared, leaving only a streak of red light.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden plank flew back.

"Young Master said he doesn't know anyone named Qinwu Tanyou, please leave immediately!"

Huh? You don't recognize me? Now it was Lu He's turn to freeze up.
