Chapter 2364: Are You a Male or Female Fox?
Ning Shu had no objection to Yi Liang’s suggestion and asked, “Who do you think would take your sister away?”
“It must be an acquaintance.” Yi Liang rubbed his face and said, “I’ve always suspected Yi Xue.”
Yi Xue was the de facto leader of the town. He knew many things. Yi Liang even suspected that he was the culprit who kidnapped his sister.
“Does your sister have spiritual roots?” Ning Shu asked.
“I think so,” Yi Liang said without certainty. “When I was a child, sometimes I’d hear my mother telling my father to not let my sister cultivate the emotion severing art.”
Emotion severing art?
The name of this method made it sound like its practitioners would destroy their seven emotions and kill their six desires.
In order to pursue the Supreme Dao, some cultivators would cultivate some methods that were quite extreme.
It seemed that Yi Liang’s younger sister indeed had spiritual roots. If so, she had probably ended up in some unusual places.
“You’re not leaving? That’s great! You can play with me,” the little fox happily said.
“You’re so mischievous. Are you a male or female fox?” Ning Shu asked.
“I’m a male. I’m the future patriarch of the red fox clan,” the little fox smugly said with an expression that seemed to tell them to hurry and lick his boot.
Ning Shu was full of disdain. “If you’re a male, how could you take a female form?”
“People from the clan say that all humans like beautiful women, so I transformed into how Hong Jin looked. Was I pretty?” the little fox asked Yi Liang.
Yi Liang embarrassedly nodded. “Yeah.”
Ning Shu’s face was filled with scorn. Eh…
They were originally a two-man team, but they soon evolved into a party of three people.
The little fox took Ning Shu and Yi Liang as test subjects for him to experiment with illusions.
When he experimented with illusions to someone from the clan, they’d see through it. He had no choice but to find a human to experiment on.
Ning Shu didn’t bother to care about him. She cultivated on her own and also occasionally instructed Yi Liang on martial arts.
By now, Yi Liang had cultivated a lot of spiritual energy. He was now in the process of forming a shape with that spiritual energy.
That required a lot of spiritual energy.
“Since you’ve been my test subject for so long, I’ll give this to you.” The little fox gave Yi Liang a spirit stone with his mouth.
Ning Shu saw that this spirit stone was of good quality and had very few impurities.
“What’s this?” Strictly speaking, Yi Liang wasn’t really a fully-fledged cultivator yet, so he didn’t know what a spirit stone was.
The little fox was greatly surprised and explained, “It’s a spirit stone. It’s filled with spiritual energy. Isn’t this a precious thing for human cultivators?”
“Thank you.” Yi Liang accepted the spirit stone.
“Where did you get this spirit stone?” Ning Shu asked.
“Oh, it’s from the clan, my grandma gave it to me,” the little fox said indifferently.
“Hold it in your hand, and then insert your energy into the spirit stone,” Ning Shu told Yi Liang.
Ning Shu originally wanted to set up a spirit gathering formation, but remembering that she told Yi Liang she only had the Unsurpassable Martial Arts before, she decided to not reveal it.
Yi Liang’s cultivation progress was already very fast and good anyway.
Yi Liang followed Ning Shu’s instruction and held the spirit stone in his hand. It didn’t take long until it started to turn into powder.
“His absorption speed’s a bit terrifying,” the little fox said in shock. “I heard from the other foxes in the clan that human beings don’t absorb spiritual energy very quickly, right?”
“Can you shut up? You just don’t shut up, do you?” Ning Shu said, annoyed.
Whenever he encountered something new, he’d react with a huge surprise. The noise he made gave Ning Shu a headache every single time.
The little fox harrumphed. He turned and left, wagging his tail and swinging his butt.
“Have you managed to form a strand of spiritual energy?” Ning Shu asked Yi Liang.
