Chapter 204: Huhu Does Not Accept Food Given in Contempt

Without continuing to extend an invitation, Ren Yidao simply accepted the other party's approach.

This "Purple Potato Spirit" is truly not simple; although his strength has fallen, his inherent realm and vision are extremely high.

If there were an opportunity to keep him by his side as a portable "old grandfather" figure, that would absolutely be quite excellent.

It is just a pity.

That sort of thing cannot be done.

Xue Sui will not leave this place.

Because this is a mission he has guarded for a lifetime, one more important than his own life.

Seeing that Ren Yidao was about to leave, Xue Sui also reined in his emotions and performed a deep, respectful bow to Ren Yidao.

【Many thanks.】

【Xue has no way to repay you, only by...】

He had many things to be grateful for.

If it were not for Ren Yidao, the General's lifeblood would likely have gone to waste.

"There is no need for this, Lord Xue, you speak too seriously; how could this possibly be my merit?"

"It is you who have guarded this place, and even more so the General who sacrificed himself; what does this have to do with me?"

But Ren Yidao did not take credit, and likewise returned the bow:

"Besides, didn't you also give me quite a lot of help before?"

Help?

Xue Sui was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted to what he was referring to.

【Those things...】

Compared to what Ren Yidao had achieved, how could the Spirit Liquid and Purple Crystal he had given him compare?

"Do you think it's not good? I, on the contrary, think it's quite good."

Ren Yidao was quite open-minded about it.

Cultivation is just like this; it is not the case that whatever is precious is necessarily good.

What is suitable is what is best.

Just like that Dragon Scale from back then—how precious and rare it was, but was it the best for Ren Yidao?

It was not.

The true optimal answer was actually that Mud Statue, which was cheap to the extreme.

To others, that Mud Statue was worthless, but to him, no treasure could compare to it.

Do not choose the most expensive, only choose the most correct.

Seeing that he was so carefree and not feigning it, and since Xue Sui himself was also a person of a carefree nature, he did not continue to dwell on it.

【There is one matter I need to remind you of.】

Xue Sui's expression was serious, his gaze seeming to pierce through the door behind Ren Yidao, and he turned to warn him:

【Some things are not as they appear on the surface; you must be careful...】

Xue Sui's words were not finished, because Ren Yidao had already turned and left nonchalantly.

"Yeah, yeah, I have it in mind, no need for you to worry."

"Then, Lord Xue, see you later."

Waving his hand without looking back, Ren Yidao pushed the door open and left, his figure instantly vanishing.

【I hope you truly have it in mind.】

Looking at the meditation cushion and Bronze Lamp left in the room, Xue Sui was somewhat surprised.

He actually... didn't swipe them?

【I had misjudged him before, thinking he was a greedy person, but I never expected him to be a person of such high moral character...】

Ren Yidao's previous performance had been as if he were desperate to dig three feet deep, even gnawing on the turf.

Yet after leaving this time, he actually took nothing?

【It really is... hard to fathom.】

【Wait, this is...】

Sensing the direction in which Ren Yidao flew, Xue Sui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief.

【So that's how it is.】

He watched as Ren Yidao returned once again to the underground of Zizhushan, becoming a diligent Purple Crystal miner.

Clang, clang, clang!

Regarding this, Ren Yidao stated:

"Huhu never accepts food given in contempt!"

"We have always relied on our own hands to provide for ourselves!"

In other words, we are eating at a buffet.

……

……

While the main body was working hard over there, the Fox Tail Clone was not idle either.

He was doing a vital, major task!

"This one, no, the fur color is a bit off."

Picking up a small fox, Ren Yidao looked it up and down for a while, then put it down with regret.

"This one won't do either, the quality is not very good."

"Go, go, go, go play with your nunchucks, there's nothing for you here."

"……"

After the foxes, who were busy munching away, turned around for a long time, Ren Yidao finally stopped in front of Huji.

Feeling the light go dark before her, Huji raised her head in confusion, meeting a pair of deep, profound eyes.

Huji:?

The fur on her tail instantly stood on end, and Huji instinctively wanted to run away from there.

Although escaping is shameful, it is quite useful most of the time!

Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.

Unfortunately, Huji was facing a Ren Yidao who was well-versed in the art of war.

Before she could even kick her legs, she was grabbed by the scruff of her neck and lifted up by Ren Yidao.

!!!

Huji instinctively twisted and struggled back and forth!

Then...

Slap.

Huji stopped struggling and obediently turned into a red eggplant that had lost its dreams.

Ren Yidao examined her for a moment and nodded slowly.

"As expected, it has to be you."

Worthy of being our top-tier little fox here.

"Alright, I have an idea now, go off and play."

As he spoke, Ren Yidao, having made up his mind, was just about to let Huji go when his brows suddenly twitched.

"Hm?"

He held Huji up and weighed her, his brows furrowing.

Seeing Ren Yidao's gaze, Huji lowered her head and covered her face with her tail.

No, don't look at me with that kind of gaze!

"Your appetite is quite good."

Ren Yidao didn't know what else to say.

This little fox, in just a few short days, had actually gained thirty percent in weight.

Thirty percent!

Little brother, your appetite is no longer a question of whether it's good or not.

It's a bit outrageous!

No, I mean Huhu always eats buffet-style, but you really are eating with abandon!

"Forget it, let it be..."

Huji's fur color was already prominent among the fox pack, and after a few days of nourishment, it had become even more vibrant.

Ren Yidao helplessly put Huji down, not saying anything more.

Let the child eat.

Look at how hungry the child was; she was almost no longer in the shape of a fox.

She was almost in the shape of a ball.

"However, it's nothing, anyway I'm using her today, it's not a big problem."

Watching Huji, who continued to eat heartlessly after being released, Ren Yidao's smile gradually became brazen.

"Hehehe..."

"With this trump card in hand, I don't believe I can't fish out Senior Sister!"

Since Peak Master Jing wants to play hide-and-seek, then don't blame me, Junior Brother, for using this wicked scheme!

And just as Ren Yidao was planning how to bring the fox thief to justice, his expression changed slightly.

Hm?

"What is the situation here?"

……

Just as Ren Yidao returned to the Wolf Cave after helping Xue Sui organize and clean three Purple Crystal caves, his expression suddenly changed.

Whoosh!

Retracting his right foot, a black light flashed in front of Ren Yidao.

Sss—

Looking at the rapidly dissolving ground and the rising black smoke, Ren Yidao tilted his head.

There is a mole!

He sensed it for a moment, then looked toward the entrance of the Purple Crystal cave, from which a strange figure walked out.

The other party did not hide themselves, or rather, was very surprised that their trap had not succeeded.

"How did you discover it?"

The young man held a Star Plate, squinting at the youth opposite him who was not shocked or angry, but instead looked interested; he suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

I always feel that something is not right...

Where exactly is it?

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

I'm going to eat first, and I'll update two more chapters tonight! Praise me!
