Chapter 2363: How Do You Talk?
Ning Shu felt like the little fox’s illusion skill was really a heavens-bestowed cheat.
It could make people unable to distinguish between what’s real and what’s not, trapping them in a fantasy world.
“Little fox, come out!” Ning Shu shouted.
The little fox came running from a distance but was in front of them in a blink of an eye. “You called? Have you decided to take me with you?”
“Lift the illusion.” Ning Shu stared at the little fox.
The little fox feigned surprise. “What illusion? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Fine then. We’ll see how long you’d be able to pretend.
“Does your grandma know that you want to go out?” It was easy to guess that the little fox’s grandma disapproved of the little fox going to the human world to play.
Especially since the little fox was still so young.
“She doesn’t. That’s why I’m asking you to take me,” said the little fox.
Ning Shu stared at the little fox’s mouth and curiously asked, “How do you talk?”
Ning Shu talked with ventriloquism. She wondered how the little fox could talk despite being so young.
“Like this,” said the little fox.
Ning Shu: …
This red fox clan was really one of a kind.
”Your grandma’s just looking out for you. You have no idea about what the human world is like.”
“That’s not true. Hong Jin told me that the human world is super fun. They’ve got delicious food, exquisite houses, interesting things, and they also have a lot of people there,” the little fox retorted.
“If you don’t take me with you, I won’t lift the illusion. Let’s see how you can get out then!” the little fox threatened.
Ning Shu sat down on the snow and nonchalantly replied, “Your magic can only last for a couple of days, so we can just wait it out.”
Ning Shu turned her head and told Yi Liang, “Sit down and cultivate.”
Yi Liang thought it was a racial conflict between the two foxes, so he just ignored it… He then sat on the ground and began to cultivate.
As soon as he began cultivating, spiritual energy slowly gathered around him. The little fox stared at Yi Liang and exclaimed, “It’s really an ethereal spirit physique!
“His physique’s very popular among monsters. It’s full of flavors, and it’s crisp too,” the little fox praised.
Yi Liang, who was cultivating, got so scared that he immediately stopped. He was speechless for a while, too.
Ning Shu angrily said, “He doesn’t have an ethereal spirit physique. He ate a flame fruit.”
“That’s not bad. I heard that when humans want to eat a flame fruit, they’ve got to eat it with other spirit herbs to reduce the effect. Since the flame fruit’s energy is too powerful for them, they could be burned to ashes if they’re not careful. Only monsters can withstand it.”
Yi Liang: …
Yi Liang turned to look at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: …
Hehe. She sent him her best customer service smile.
Considering the situation they were in at the time, how could she have gotten such spirit herbs to reduce the flame fruit’s effect on him?
They’d end up eating it that way anyways.
Ning Shu was too lazy to talk to the little fox, so she just lay on the ground and began to cultivate. They’d leave after the illusion disappeared in a few days.
The two started to cultivate and ignored the little fox. The little fox whimpered and stared at the two of them angrily.
The little fox lifted the illusion. “Fine! Go! Why does no one want to take me to see the human world?”
Yi Liang opened his eyes and told Ning Shu, “Xiao Hei, we don’t have to rush back to the town. I want to cultivate here until I get stronger and then take back my house.
“My sister also must’ve been taken away by someone who knew us.” Yi Liang grabbed some snow from the ground and fiercely took a bite.
Yi Liang’s mood plummeted as he talked about his family.
