Chapter 111: This World Needs a Fox Persona (Second update, begging for)

Ren Yidao looked at the girl's excited expression and shook his head, not saying the words that were truly on his mind.

Let you be happy for a little while longer.

One step into Qi Refining?

No, no, no.

Under this life-and-death crisis, the atavistic bloodline of Yu Yu erupted with astonishing potential.

"One step to enter the second realm of Solidifying Foundation, even reaching the late stage quickly; in a little while, she will be able to reach Golden Core... Even I am a little envious."

Ren Yidao's cultivation speed was definitely not slow, but it would take a hundred years to reach the strength of Spirit Transformation.

But comparing people to people will only make one want to die, and comparing goods to goods will only make one want to throw them away.

Wow.

Why is her bloodline so convenient, being able to advance so easily?

I have to slowly grind away the time, and I still have to risk my old life to slaughter and devour Demon Pills.

Unfair!

It is truly unfair!

If encountering a Transformation Realm Great Demon could stimulate the bloodline...

Then should I throw her to the Demon Race to stay for a few years?

Does that seem feasible?

And just as Ren Yidao was letting his imagination run wild, Yu Yu, who had been smugly enjoying the petting, suddenly changed her expression.

She opened her eyes in a panic and glanced around.

Hmm!?

There is danger!

Who, who wants to harm me!?

……

……

After pacifying the excited Yu Yu, Ren Yidao dragged Yang Wusheng, who had almost glimpsed his secret, out and tossed him onto the bed in an empty room, leaving him to fend for himself.

Then, he walked to another room, not knocking on the door, but silently sensing the situation inside.

"……The situation is not very optimistic."

In his perception, Li Lingling was curled up on the bed in the room, hugging her legs, her eyes dim and lusterless.

Ren Yidao could understand her mood at this moment.

The eldest brother, who had always been gentle and elegant in her heart, had suddenly raised the banner of rebellion against their father, which the kind-hearted girl found hard to accept for a moment.

Although she was in the imperial family and had long known in her heart that this day would come, when it arrived so abruptly, the huge shock still left her feeling despondent.

"What should I do?"

Ren Yidao pondered.

The relationship between the two was not as intimate as it was with Yu Yu; even if he came forward to comfort her, it would only make her restrain her expression on the surface, while the anxiety in her heart would still be impossible to dispel.

"There is no other way, I can only use this move!"

Silently making up his mind, Ren Yidao turned and walked toward the room next door.

……

"The most heartless is the imperial family? Is it really the case that there is only the possibility of slaughtering each other?"

"Didn't everyone play quite happily when we were young?"

"How did it become like this when we grew up?"

"Is that position really that good?"

The noble families and Feudatory Kings... what are they all fighting for?

Is the title of the master of the world really that tempting?

Li Lingling did not understand their thoughts.

She understood Li Long's thoughts even less.

"Father Emperor, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Thump thump, creak—

Who!!?

The soft sound outside the window brought her back to her senses, and she turned to look at the window she had opened.

There was no intruder; what walked into the room from the window was a pure white creature.

"！！！！！！"

A white fox, pure white all over without a single speck of other color, jumped down from the window with ease and looked around the room.

"Ah—mmph!"

Li Lingling excitedly wanted to cry out, but at the last second, she maintained her reason and covered her mouth.

Whose pet white fox is this?

How did it run here?

The residence prepared by Li Long for the people of Luoyue Peak was located on the Heavenly Street in the center of Wentian, and the families living here were either rich or noble.

Under strict guard, naturally, no wild foxes could sneak in.

The only possibility was that it was a pet raised by some family that had snuck out, and coupled with the fact that it was not afraid of people at all, this possibility should be certain.

What she should do most now is to drive it out or catch it and send it away.

But Li Lingling had already completely forgotten.

Her eyes were left with nothing but that slowly swaying large tail, swinging left and right along with it.

"Hehe, hehehe... such a big tail."

Such a flamboyant tail, it must feel very comfortable to touch, right?

Yes!

Let me touch it!

Thinking of how others looked, Li Lingling slowly crawled off the bed without alerting the white fox, pouted her lips at the white fox, and tentatively made a sound:

"Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk..."

White fox: "..."

Glancing at the young girl who was lying on the floor grinning foolishly at her without any shred of dignity, the white fox silently turned its head away.

Can't bear to look, really can't bear to look.

"Tsk-tsk-tsk... eh? Did it just roll its eyes at me?"

Feeling as if she had been looked at with disdain, Li Lingling hadn't even had time to feel disappointed before she felt a soft, furry object in her arms.

!!!

That white fox had crawled into her arms on its own!

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale!

Desperately restraining the urge to go crazy, Li Lingling slowly closed her arms and sat up while holding the white fox.

So soft, so soft, so soft—

Ah!

There was no animal odor on its body; instead, it emitted an intoxicating, faint, clean fragrance.

Rubbing her cheek against the white fox's tail, Li Lingling threw all dignity to the wind and inhaled wildly.

Inhale—

Inhale—

"Ha..."

Is this the beauty of life?

Being able to live until now is truly wonderful.

All the sorrow and pain in her heart vanished, and Li Lingling was now left only with gratitude for a beautiful life.

Grateful to be able to live to this moment, sob sob sob.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Li Lingling was finally satisfied and let go of the white fox.

She asked the white fox with a grin:

"Where did you run from? Do you want to... ah!"

In a moment of distraction, the white fox nimbly slipped out of her arms.

It had been quiet and allowed her to stroke it the whole time; she hadn't expected the white fox to suddenly break free without warning.

"Don't run!"

Her instinct as a Body Cultivator was to reach out and grab it, but the white fox dodged by a hair's breadth and lightly leaped onto the window sill.

Looking back at the young girl, the white fox leaped out of the window without a hint of attachment and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, it ran away..."

Maintaining the posture of her raised arm, Li Lingling looked at the wide-open window, heartbroken, feeling as if a hole had opened up in her heart.

Without you, how can I go on living!

There were no longer any of those messy matters of imperial power struggles in her heart, but it was filled with a different kind of emotion.

Unsatisfied desire.

"Sob sob sob, I really want to touch its tail again!!!"

In the room next door, Ren Yidao's Fox Tail Clone opened its eyes slightly and smiled triumphantly:

"Heh heh, just keep dreaming."

As expected of me.

Haven't done this in so long, yet my professional skills haven't declined at all.

As long as you touch me, all your worries will disappear.

This world might not need a Demon, but it certainly needs a Fox Cafe...

"Little one, are you lost?"

The main body, still wandering around leisurely outside, was suddenly lifted up from behind by someone.

Ren Yidao:???

Although the other person's voice was gentle and there was no force in their hand, this sneak attack that he hadn't sensed at all still made Ren Yidao's fur stand on end.

Where did you come from?
