15: Chapter 15 Fox Delusion

"Let's talk."

The deep voice caused Xing Yaoyan's heartbeat to skip a beat instantly.

To be able to approach her without her noticing, and to see through her concealment methods, he had to be an expert of at least the Third Rank. No, that's not right, even more…

She had a strong premonition that if the source of the voice wanted to make a move on her, she would have absolutely no room to resist.

Xing Yaoyan's mouth hung slightly open uncontrollably, her pupils trembled violently, and her body remained in the same posture as the previous second; she did not dare to move at all.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through her mind.

Wait! There is a furry claw on my shoulder, and according to common sense, I should automatically sense any life form with malicious intent toward me. Could it be…

He is a demon hiding in human society! Since demons have the ability to communicate with Spirit Beasts, he specifically came to give me, a newcomer Spirit Beast, a tough lesson, and by the way, collect some information or something…

Thinking of this, she suppressed the fear in her heart and was just about to make a sound.

Wait, that's not right! I don't think I know the language of wolf-form Spirit Beasts either!

There's no other way; I'll just have to try anything!

She gritted her teeth and let out a few trembling "Awoo" sounds, finally ending with a whimper to express her fear and submission to the other party.

Subsequently, she secretly mobilized the Power Of Will within her body, preparing for a desperate strike in case of a critical moment.

To her surprise, after she let out those very convincing wolf howls, the guy behind her actually burst into laughter.

"Hahaha… stop pretending, I know you can talk. I have already set up an illusion array here in advance, so you don't need to worry about being seen by others."

The claw on her shoulder had already moved away; Xing Yaoyan knew this was a signal of goodwill from the other party.

She turned around vigilantly… There was nothing behind her!

"Junior Xing Yaoyan, may I ask, Senior…"

"Hey, silly girl, look down."

A fluffy white tail suddenly waved in front of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Senior… pfft… I didn't expect… haha, *hic*, haha… you are so…" Xing Yaoyan hurriedly covered her twitching mouth with her paw, fearing that her rude behavior would cause the Senior's dissatisfaction.

"Sigh~ if you want to laugh, just laugh. I expected this day would come sooner or later…"

Before Xing Yaoyan's eyes, a white fox was gently supporting its forehead with its paw.

"Back to the point, what kind of Spirit Beast are you? Why can I neither see your Spirit Core nor your Demon Core?"

Xing Yaoyan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how to answer this somewhat sharp question, especially to a strange fox.

"Uh… I… I don't know either…"

"Forget it, it's my fault for being too anxious. Let me introduce myself first…"

Listening to Xing Yaoyan's stumbling answer, the white fox sighed seemingly helplessly.

"This old one is the former president of the 'Bridge of Worlds', a survivor of the first 'Star Disaster', one of the founders of the 'Kingdom of Myriad Demons', the one who sees through all disguises in the world, the famous Truth-Breaking Fox Demon—Hu Wang!"

"Wow! Senior is amazing! May I ask what rank Senior is now?" Xing Yaoyan's eyes seemed to sparkle with little stars as she looked at the proud fox in front of her with admiration.

"Hahaha, although I am only First Rank now…"

"First Rank, huh…"

Xing Yaoyan calmed down now and thought about it carefully.

If Hu Wang being able to appear behind her silently was because of this pre-arranged illusion array, and it was its Innate Talent that saw through her concealment, plus, in these few seconds of interaction, she found that her rude behavior was so magnanimously forgiven.

Then, there is a very high possibility that the strength of this Hu Wang, who calls itself a Truth-Breaking Fox Demon, might not be strong!

See, as long as she used a little trick, he showed his fox tail himself. Pfft! This guy is a fox to begin with!

"Hmph, hmph~ you guy almost scared me into a dog…"

Xing Yaoyan clenched her paws and walked toward Hu Wang with a "kind" look.

A moment later.

"What a barbaric species, not a bit of a lady, and bullying an old man. If I had known, I wouldn't have teased you…" Hu Wang said, rubbing the swollen bump on its head, sounding annoyed.

"It didn't hurt enough, did it? A little fox like you calling yourself an old man? Are you kidding me?"

"Little White Wolf has long fur and short knowledge; I won't lower myself to your level."

Watching the little fox being stubborn, Xing Yaoyan found it somewhat amusing.

"Alright, alright, what on earth did you come to find me for?"

After the commotion, Xing Yaoyan became curious about the arrival of this uninvited guest.

"Call me Senior, and I will tell you."

"No, you brat…" Xing Yaoyan raised her fist again, preparing to teach this "feigning madness and acting stupid" fox another lesson.

"You come from the starry sky."

After Hu Wang confidently said this, it turned its back to Xing Yaoyan and looked at… the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle with a profound expression.

As he expected, the Little White Wolf behind him did not attack.

"Call me Senior, and I will tell you about a massive Opportunity."

He reiterated his request again, then narrowed his eyes with an air of composure.

On the other side, Xing Yaoyan's heart was in turmoil:

It was absolutely impossible for anyone to know that she came from the starry sky, and regarding her parents whom she had never met, and the mysterious Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf clan she belonged to, she had very little information.

If this fox understood the starry sky and knew some things about it, she would be one step closer to her path home.

However, knowing that this little fox's strength was inferior to her own, having to politely call him Senior… this was truly…

After doing some mental preparation for a while, Xing Yaoyan closed her eyes and shouted in a strained voice:

"Senior, I, Xiao Yan, have offended you greatly before!"

"Hehehehaha~" A soy-sauce-flavored laugh emitted from Hu Wang's mouth.

On the other side, Xing Yaoyan was secretly gritting her teeth, wondering how such a petite fox could make such a sleazy laugh.

"Hmm~ in view of your sincerity, I will mercifully tell you: Two months from now, at the national Superpower Awakening ceremony in Youfeng City, there is a reward segment for high-talent Espers, and the biggest prize is the Demon Core of a Third Rank Ice-Breaking Wolf, which should be of great help to your promotion."

"Don't be impatient, I know what you want to say. I have already obtained the layout map of the Awakening ceremony, and on that day, I will personally go to the scene to guide you to sneakily obtain this Demon Core."

As he spoke, he pulled out a blueprint from behind him that was larger than his entire body, which shocked Xing Yaoyan so much that her mouth hung open.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a storage space that comes with a demon possessing a red Bloodline?" As he spoke, he proudly raised his head.

But then he saw the mobile phone that flashed across the Little White Wolf's paw in front of him…

"As expected of a Star Beast from the starry sky, you have some tricks up your sleeve… *cough cough*, back to the point, besides this Third Rank Demon Core, the rewards this time also include some scattered low-rank Spirit Beast crystals."

"And my request is that one of the crystals is very important to me. I will directly transmit the specific appearance to your mind through my Innate Talent. This should just be a matter of convenience for you, right? So… let's cooperate."
