Chapter 217 - Superior Fortune
【The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is renowned as the most gifted race among the fox tribe.】
【As long as they don’t fall too early, they have a high chance of ascending to the Heavenly Realm.】
【Their affinity with immortality is exceptionally profound!】
【But up until now, it’s been thousands of years since their presence was last seen in the cultivation world.】
【They are on the verge of being forgotten by the demons.】
【The reason is quite simple: a commoner’s sin is the fault of possessing a precious gem!】
【The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox possesses a special ability, they are not susceptible to corruption!】
【As a race with deep ties to immortality, every part of their body is a treasure.】
【Eating their flesh not only greatly enhances one’s cultivation but also grants immunity to inner demons forever.】
【This is not just a legend, it’s a fact recorded in ancient texts.】
【And that’s not all.】
【The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox also has a unique fragrance, which easily attracts the covetous eyes of powerful demons.】
【This is the real reason why their numbers are extremely scarce.】
【After listening to Zhou Xuan’s explanation, Ye Yu felt utterly unsettled.】
【Damn it, isn’t this just like the Tang Seng meat wandering on the Southern Barbarian Continent?】
【No wonder so many powerful demons have recently wanted to eat him.】
【So that’s the reason!】
【Yin Feijing suddenly spoke up: Stop, Ye Yu, I’m seriously asking you now.】
【Are you human or demon?】
【Back on the Central Continent, you were clearly a human cultivator, so how did you suddenly turn into a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox now?】
【Hearing these words, Zhou Xuan was also quite surprised.】
【Upon further thought, back in Lan Kingdom, Yin Zhi seemed to have mentioned that Ye Yu was a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, a definite human.】
【Yet now, his demon power is pure and strong.】
【Zhou Xuan could see it clearly. This is definitely not something altered later by pills or artifacts.】
【So what exactly is going on?】
【Facing the skeptical looks of the two, Ye Yu remained very calm.】
【Once unfamiliar, twice acquainted!】
【When a lie is repeated enough times, even if it’s fake, it will be spoken with the most certain tone, making it seem true.】
【Ye Yu told Yin Feijing and Zhou Xuan.】
【He has always been a demon!】
【Back on the Central Continent, he merely used artifacts and secret techniques to change his body.】
【As for why he went to the Central Continent, that’s a secret, not convenient to disclose now!】
【Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan nodded. She didn’t continue to press for answers.】
【After all, everyone has secrets, which is quite normal.】
【But Yin Feijing remained somewhat skeptical.】
【She still felt something was off.】
【Is he really a demon?】
【Ye Yu’s lips curled slightly!】
【A hint of a bewitching smile appeared.】
【Honestly, encountering Yin Feijing in the dream was quite unexpected for him too.】
【But after a moment’s thought, so what?】
【Based on his extensive experience with these dreams, after the dream shatters, only Ye Yu’s Dao companions retain their memories from within the dream.】
【Other than that, everyone else’s memories are completely erased!】
【That means, as long as he doesn’t become Dao companions with Yin Feijing, then, after waking up from the dream, she will also forget everything that happened here.】
【By that time, anything about being a Nine-Tailed Fox or not, she definitely won’t remember!】
【Understanding this, Ye Yu’s mood lifted significantly.】
【Since that’s the case, it doesn’t matter what is said now.】
【However, the most pressing matter at hand is considering how to survive in this dream.】
【That is the real priority.】
【Otherwise, he can’t keep getting chased by powerful demons outside every day. If he ever fails to outrun them, it could cost him his life!】
【So, after pondering for a moment, Ye Yu softly said: Auntie, I’d like to stay at Fox Mountain for a few days, if that’s convenient?】
【Zhou Xuan’s face was full of smiles.】
【She glanced at Yin Feijing with interest, smiled and said: Convenient, very convenient. In the future, we’re all one family. You can stay here as long as you like.】
【Young people these days really know how to talk.】
【That “Auntie” sounds so endearing!】
【Yin Feijing burst out angrily on the spot: What one family? Aunt, how can you say such things?】
【I don’t want him to stay in Fox Mountain…】
【Before Yin Feijing could finish her sentence, Zhou Xuan directly sealed her mouth with a spell.】
【Then she gently said to Ye Yu.】
【Just stay here, don’t mind Jing’er. I’ll give you some help as well.】
【A fox demon from the Qingqiu clan should not be so careless if she’s married!】
【Without a doubt, Zhou Xuan truly sees Ye Yu and Yin Feijing as Dao companions.】
【Regarding this, Ye Yu certainly wouldn’t bother explaining. He immediately replied with a smile: Then thank you very much!】
【That night, Ye Yu found a quiet spot in Fox Mountain, and immersed himself in meditation to think of a solution.】
【In the end, he came up with only one answer.】
【And that is to become stronger!】
【In this cultivation world, it is impossible for Ye Yu to find a loyal and highly skilled “Wukong” to protect him.】
【If he doesn’t want to be eaten by powerful demons, the only way is to protect himself!】
【But saying this is easy; doing it is hard!】
【For over two hundred years, Ye Yu has been cultivating. But even now, he hasn’t reached the Divine Transformation realm!】
【This rate of progress, compared to ordinary cultivators, is already considered extremely fast. But Ye Yu was still not satisfied.】
【Too slow!】
【I must find a way to accelerate my cultivation!】
【The next day, Ye Yu, as usual, used his Auspicious Fortune talent.】
【Two illusory bamboo slips once again appeared.】
【When the first bamboo slip flipped open, a streak of flowing light suddenly flashed across it.】
【What does this mean?】
【Ye Yu looked ahead carefully.】
【His expression instantly changed!】
【”Superior Fortune: Head north, and a great opportunity awaits you!”】
【Immediately, the second bamboo slip flipped open.】
【”Moderate Fortune: Stay at Fox Mountain, and a small opportunity awaits you!”】
【Is there even a choice here?】
【One is great, the other is small.】
【Hesitating for even a second would be a disrespect to the superior fortune!】
【Honestly, this is the first “Superior Fortune” Ye Yu has received since gaining the ability to avoid misfortune and seek fortune.】
【How could he possibly give it up?】
【Following that, without any hesitation, Ye Yu confirmed his direction and headed north all the way.】
【Crashing through mountains, splitting through seas!】
【Whatever he encountered, he would break through!】
【But expecting me to take a detour? Dream on!】
【Today, no matter what, I will seize this great opportunity!】
【When Ye Yu passed through the eighth mountain, he immediately noticed something unusual.】
【Within the massive mountain range, it was completely hollowed out.】
【A colossal skeleton appeared before him, perfectly intact.】
【It was incredibly majestic.】
