Chapter 173: I’m Having a Hard Time
Listening to the exchange between the two little ones, a faint smile appeared on the fox mother’s lips.
They were both talking about their own things and had completely misunderstood each other.
However, she did not speak up to explain, because only by making the young man give up and realize her daughter’s determination would he finally resign himself to his fate.
Yes, the fox mother was very satisfied with Su Yan.
As long as a vixen took human form, they would be very beautiful. This was because the fox clan were all face-dogs and liked beautiful things. When they saw a beautiful member of the opposite sex, they couldn’t walk straight.
Her own daughter’s partner was so beautiful. How much face would she have when she took him out!
And such a beautiful son-in-law… even just looking at him every day was very pleasing to the eye!
The fox mother had this idea in her heart, and her mood was very pleasant. Today was really lucky. Not only had she found her daughter, but she had also solved this troublemaker’s lifelong matter. She had to celebrate properly when she got back.
Su Yan sat on the flying magic tool, his heart very bitter. Leaving the sect this time was definitely a mistake. He had been so unlucky along the way.
Not only had he encountered a Nascent Soul demon beast, but it had also had a near-death breakthrough. He hadn’t had time to be happy about being rescued before he was captured by a vixen again.
“I’m having such a hard time.”
Su Yan sighed.
The little fox said at this moment, “Mom, how did you get here? And so coincidentally?”
The little fox was very puzzled. Her mom hadn’t come early or late, but had come at this very moment, just in time to save her.
“You little thing, you still have the face to say that!”
Hearing this, the fox mother’s face showed anger. She had run away from home without a word, which had almost made her die of anxiety.
She had had to put down the important matters of the clan just to come out and find it. Fortunately, she had sensed the little fox’s aura. If she had been a little later, her daughter would have become daughter paste.
“S-so that’s how it is!”
The little fox knew it was in the wrong and quietly took two steps back.
The more the fox mother thought, the angrier she became. She picked up the little fox and spanked its butt hard.
‘Chiu chiu chiu!’
“No more, no more! I won’t do it again next time!”
The little fox cried out pitifully, its eyes teary, looking as pitiful as could be.
Seeing this, Su Yan found it very amusing. What did they mean by “if you don’t court death, you won’t die”? This was it!
If the little fox hadn’t asked, the fox mother wouldn’t have had any lingering fears, and it wouldn’t have had to endure this beating.
After laughing, Su Yan glanced at the fox mother, his heart full of questions.
He didn’t know how strong a seven-tailed fox was, but in short, it was very strong. In his senses, its terrifying level was no less than his Master’s. What was her origin? Su Yan wanted to find out.
“Uh… I still don’t know where we’re going now.”
Su Yan asked tentatively in a low voice. If he knew the destination, he could also prepare himself mentally in advance.
“The place we’re going to is the Narukami Continent. We’ll be there soon.”
The fox mother said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Yan was stunned. Narukami Continent? This place name is so familiar.
Wait, wait, wait!!
Su Yan suddenly realized. He had indeed heard of this place. Wasn’t that the gathering place of the Heavenly Fox clan? The fox mother was going there. Could it be…
“You’re from the Heavenly Fox clan… no, you’re a fox!?”
The fox mother nodded.
Su Yan was a little dumbfounded. When he had seen the little fox’s fur color before, a senior sister had said that its origin might be extraordinary. He hadn’t paid it any mind at the time. Now he found that it was actually true. This was simply too ridiculous.
Su Yan glanced at the little fox. If he remembered correctly, the Narukami Continent was thousands of miles away from here. How had it wandered here?
While feeling speechless, Su Yan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. No wonder the fox mother’s attitude towards him was so good.
The relationship between demon beasts and humans was not good, but the Heavenly Fox clan was clearly different. They were very close to humans.
Since that was the case, then his life could be guaranteed. But…
“My life is safe, but my body is not.”
Su Yan looked at the little fox and tightened his clothes. The matter of humans and beasts… no matter how he thought about it, it was too exciting. He was not prepared at all!
…
The Narukami Continent was located in the north of the continent. There were thunderstorms here all year round. It was said that in ancient times, an otherworldly heavenly demon had invaded this world. At that time, an immortal had appeared and had fought with the heavenly demon.
The immortal had used lightning techniques and had finally repelled the otherworldly person. But because of the battle between the two, it had left an irreversible scar on this land. Even after countless years, the weather was still very strange.
“Because of the special environment of the Narukami Continent, the lightning element is very active. Because of the environmental influence, most of the cultivators here have a lightning spiritual root. It’s very easy to cultivate lightning techniques here, which is why it has the name Narukami.”
The fox mother introduced this place to him. In the eyes of outsiders, the environment here was very harsh. After all, as long as you flew in the sky, you would be struck by lightning from time to time. No matter how you thought about it, it was very strange.
However, just like wind and rain, having lived here for hundreds of years, the fox mother was already used to it.
“This is really an eye-opener.”
Su Yan looked at the clear sky. The sun was dazzling, and there were no dark clouds to cover it. But in such clear weather, lightning would still be born from the void. It was truly incredible.
“This is the power of an immortal!”
Su Yan let out a sigh of admiration. The Dragon’s Spine Snow Mountain was covered in snow all year round because of the dragon’s remnant body, which had already surprised him greatly. But compared to the lightning weather that covered a large continent, it was completely insignificant.
“There should be very few people living here, right?”
Su Yan suddenly thought of this question. The Narukami Continent had lightning all year round. Cultivators could resist the lightning strikes, but mortals were clearly not in that category.
The fox mother shook her head and said, “You’re wrong about that. The Narukami Continent is vast and has a large population of mortals. After all, as long as you don’t fly into the sky, very few lightning bolts will strike the ground. And even if they do, there are lightning-repelling formations to protect them. In addition, there are unique electrical crystals here. There is an endless stream of people who come to mine them, and commerce is very developed.”
“I see.”
Su Yan nodded. A special product was produced because of the special environment. If it was for money, it seemed that taking a little risk was nothing.
“Chiu~”
Just as the two were talking, the little fox suddenly yawned and rubbed against him.
That extremely comfortable appearance made Su Yan so angry that he almost couldn’t help but beat it up.
This little fellow had caused him so much trouble. If it weren’t for it, he might have already gone home!
“We’re almost at the fox clan’s territory. I’ll treat you properly when we get back. Just bear with it for a while.”
The fox mother suddenly said.
Su Yan held his chest and gritted his teeth, nodding.
He had been beaten hard by the rabbit just now, and it was still very painful! If he hadn’t used a technique to relieve it midway, he didn’t know if he could even stand up.
“Don’t worry. Our fox clan has the best healers. Your little injury is no problem.”
Seeing Su Yan’s pained expression, the fox mother comforted him in a soft voice.
