Chapter 334: Hu Yueer's Persistence

"Is there any way to change?"

Heishanyang lowered its head, thought for a long time, then shook its head.

Chen Chuyang asked again, "You said I should go study—can I?"

Heishanyang raised its head, looking at Chen Chuyang in disbelief, feeling astonished at his idea; this idea was terrifying and bizarre.

Studying monster race techniques is inherently absurd for humans; it's not that it doesn't exist, but it's the exclusive domain of the Strong One, a painstaking endeavor with no benefit; such research would only waste Chen Chuyang's cultivation time, impossible to accomplish in a short time. Chen Chuyang's talent and comprehension are strong, undeniable, but it's not meant to be used this way.

Humans are unfamiliar with the monster race; each monster race differs, their cultivation techniques differ, and their physiques and meridians also vary. The Fox Clan is comparatively special, having no relation to humans at all, requiring research from scratch, learning from the beginning; the difficulty is not ordinary.

"Are you sure?"

"Is it feasible?"

Heishanyang blinked and asked: "Are you sure you want to do this? It will take a long time to research; you may not achieve results, and if you fail, you'll waste your time, kid. Listen to my advice: don't waste your time on something meaningless; it won't benefit you at all."

"Maybe they won't thank you for this; not everyone is grateful."

Heishanyang is not optimistic about this matter, nor does it take a liking to Hu Yueer; or rather, in its eyes, all Fox Clan are the same—sinister and deceitful, full of tricks. Gratitude? Don't make me laugh; if they knew gratitude, they wouldn't be Fox Clan.

Even among the monster race, the Fox Clan's reputation isn't good; for a human like Chen Chuyang to do this thankless, laborious task is purely self-inflicted boredom, and even if they share blood ties with him, that wouldn't warrant help.

In Heishanyang's eyes, Chen Chuyang is not such a good person; everything he does has a definite purpose—such a cultivator matches what it believes a human cultivator should be.

On the path of cultivation, one cannot be merciful, cannot be a saint; one must be decisive in killing, cannot have excessive mercy.

It's the same for everyone.

Mercy toward an enemy is cruelty toward oneself.

Hu Yueer raised her head: "I'm not the kind of person you say."

"The Fox Clan is the Fox Clan, I am me; we are different, my children are different too—they understand gratitude, they are not those cunning, multi-trick fox monsters."

Heishanyang, hearing this, scoffed: "Really? Are you sure?"

"You came with a purpose from the start, yet you refuse to say it; it's obvious you just want to screw over this kid, you've been scheming against him all along, and now you claim you're not that kind of person—hahaha."

Heishanyang doesn't believe her words; this fox is full of lies, not a single word true.

From the start it was scheming; for this, it brazenly asked Chen Chuyang kid for help.

Even using the blood ties of the two children as an excuse, to soften Chen Chuyang's heart.

Chen Chuyang kid is fine in every way, except he's too kind to his own people; those two little foxes are his younger siblings, possibly also older siblings; seeing his younger siblings unable to cultivate and thus reduced to food, Chen Chuyang, out of respect for his father's face, would also... help.

Heishanyang naturally saw through her little thought, speaking bluntly.

"I'm not."

Hu Yueer gritted her teeth and retorted: "I'm doing this for their two futures, not deliberately scheming against him."

"I... just want them to embark on the path of cultivation; what's wrong with that?"

"I really don't want to do this, but what can I do?"

Heishanyang stared coldly at her, saying nothing.

Chen Chuyang sighed; he knew all of this and saw it with his own eyes.

Hu Yueer's purpose and his schemes are all known; he is also curious about the Fox Clan's bodies and their cultivation methods, wanting to study them and, incidentally, gain insight into his own techniques.

Studying the Fox Clan, thus studying the monster race, knowing the enemy and knowing oneself, a hundred battles, a hundred victories; when encountering them later, one will naturally know how to deal with them.

Moreover, they are Chen Chuyang's younger siblings; out of this, Chen Chuyang wants to give it a try.

There are still benefits; it's not as Heishanyang said that there are none at all.

Chen Chuyang won't do something without benefit; he's always the one who schemes others, never the one schemed against.

So he has been leaving Hu Yueer and them hanging, ignoring them; only when Hu Yueer couldn't bear it did he let Heishanyang come.

Heishanyang also knows Chen Chuyang's purpose in doing this: to have him play the bad cop while Chen Chuyang plays the good cop.

One plays the bad cop, the other the good cop.

Shang Hongxue watched the whole time without interrupting; she knows Chuyang's purpose, also knows they're acting, and at the same time wants to expose Hu Yueer's thoughts and suppress her arrogance.

This Fox Clan woman has been inquiring about various situations; Shang Hongxue also wants to suppress her.

Otherwise, later this woman truly wouldn't know who the master here is.

"Am I supposed to just watch them unable to cultivate, unable to become demon beasts, and then become food for other demon beasts?"

"Please, help them; they are your younger siblings, their veins flow with the blood of your Chen Clan."

Hu Yueer directly knelt, begging Chen Chuyang.

Her eyes filled with longing; for the children, she can give everything.

To let the children survive, she walked out of the Fox Clan, enduring countless hardships along the way before arriving here.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, how could she give up?

The two children are her everything and also her future; she only wants them to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment and cultivate, so that those who look down on them will be harshly slapped in the face.

Her children are not waste, nor... they are existences that everyone can trample upon.

The humiliation and oppression they endured over those years, they must... take revenge.

Heishanyang's eyes drooped, falling on Hu Yueer; this woman's tactics are not bad; at this moment, kneeling is the best choice.

"Kid, figure it out yourself; your affairs, I, the old man, don't want to get involved."

After saying that, Heishanyang slowly left, not wanting to interfere in this matter.

No matter what one does, it's wrong; this is Chen Chuyang's family affair, as an outsider it's better not to meddle too much, lest one be disliked.

Chen Chuyang turned his head, looking at Shang Hongxue; this girl quickly shook her head: "Chuyang, you decide for yourself; I won't make the decision for you."

Shang Hongxue is very smart; at times like this, she shouldn't interject nor make decisions.

Hu Yueer knelt on the ground; Chen Chuyang said nothing, glanced at her, then turned to look at the two little fellows down the mountain, shook his head, and turned away.

Hu Yueer watched Chen Chuyang's back; she didn't get up, remaining kneeling.
