174: Chapter 176 Blue Flame Fox

This won't do... How can I keep suppressing it? Lin Kuang is a good man. I'll have to find an opportunity to talk to Yu Xiaotang later!

...

"Lin Kuang, what are we doing? Why are we outside the city in the middle of the night? Did something happen?" Yu Xiaotang hadn't eaten yet and was currently very dissatisfied.

Beside them, Xiao Rou didn't know that the two hadn't engaged in Dual Cultivation. She had been fantasizing about their positions all the way. Xiao Rou's face was already red, but it turned even redder upon seeing Lin Kuang.

"Follow me, we're going to help Xiao Rou catch a Spirit Beast!" Lin Kuang led the way ahead.

Hearing this, Xiao Rou's emotions shifted from shyness to excitement. During the day, she had just casually complained that it would be nice to have a Spirit Beast; she didn't expect him to remember! He even wanted to help her catch one!

Lin Kuang is such a good person! No wonder Yu Xiaotang is so close to him!

Ugh~ It's over! Why are my feelings for Lin Kuang getting stronger and stronger?

I don't know how I'll be able to fall asleep after finishing the business and coming back. Tonight in the room, I'll be able to softly call out his name!

Just now at the hot spring, I was afraid Sister Xiao Tang would suddenly walk in, but calling out Lin Kuang's name at night...

Xiao Rou shook her head and quickly caught up with Lin Kuang's pace.

...

The three passed through a forest and arrived at a vast grassland.

According to the System's prompt, Cultivators from the Yin Yang Pavilion were currently mining a Spiritual Mine illegally here. Beneath the mine was a Restriction left behind by a former Cultivator.

Once triggered, it would blow up the surrounding area and could even destroy Xuanwu City's great defensive Formation.

[Mission: Stop the Yin Yang Pavilion Cultivators from continuing to mine the Spiritual Mine]

[Mission Rewards: Cultivation Alliance Favorability +5, Ji Chanxi Favorability +10, Young Pavilion Master Favorability +5]

"What's going on?" Xiao Rou asked curiously, looking at the gathering herd of Spirit Beasts.

"There's an explosive Restriction under this Spiritual Mine. A Spirit Beast's perception is several times that of a Human Race Cultivator. They are spontaneously organizing to stop the Yin Yang Pavilion's illegal mining!"

"Furthermore, this Restriction is extremely powerful and might destroy Xuanwu City's defensive Formation!"

"Ah? Then the Yin Yang Pavilion is too wicked! They didn't even check before illegally mining the Spiritual Vein!" Yu Xiaotang complained offhandedly.

"It can't be helped. The cake is only so big. If others find out, there will be a scramble! By keeping it for themselves, they can gain the maximum profit," Lin Kuang said very calmly.

"Yeah! In the Cultivation World, it's normal to snatch things from each other!" As a Loose Cultivator, Xiao Rou was very clear on this point.

Xiao Rou thought to herself: I didn't expect Lin Kuang to be a Cultivator who prioritizes the big picture, completely different from those selfish Cultivators.

"Actually..."

Xiao Rou actually wanted to tell Lin Kuang that most of these Spirit Beasts were fire-attributed, and if a fight broke out, it would be easier to trigger the Restriction.

"We have to block these Spirit Beasts from advancing first!"

Lin Kuang was very calm because the System had already suggested stopping the Spirit Beasts from attacking the Yin Yang Pavilion Cultivators.

Xiao Rou didn't expect Lin Kuang's thinking to be so clear. She didn't say much more; after all, since he knew, he must be completely confident.

Lin Kuang walked over alone, utilized his Spirit Beast Halo and Friendly Halo to explain the situation clearly to the Spirit Beasts, and then returned!

"Eh? Why have they stopped advancing?" Xiao Rou was very puzzled. Lin Kuang had gone over for just a few minutes and persuaded them all.

“Hehehe, you wouldn't know! Let me tell you, Lin Kuang is a Friend of Spirit Beasts. When they see him, they get incredibly close!"

"Alright, let's get ready to stop the Yin Yang Pavilion Cultivators! It just so happens I have a way to stop them!"

"Eh? You have a way? That... how is that possible? A large Sect won't let go of this piece of meat!" Xiao Rou was dumbfounded upon hearing Lin Kuang's words.

"The scale of this Spiritual Vein isn't small..."

"I feel like the possibility is low, but I still believe you!" While Xiao Rou was still doubting, Yu Xiaotang had already chosen to believe him.

Seeing Yu Xiaotang trust him so much, Lin Kuang smiled and pinched her small face. "As for how to do it, I'll keep you in suspense for now and explain later!"

"As for now, we might have a new opponent!" Lin Kuang turned his head to look at a Blue Flame Fox.

Yu Xiaotang found this very strange. Weren't fire-attributed Spirit Beasts usually red? Why was this one blue!

Lin Kuang also found it strange. Could this be a mutated Spirit Beast?

What a pity. He didn't have time for a Breakthrough right now, nor did he have an extra slot for it. However, this Spirit Beast looked quite strong; he might as well help Xiao Rou!

Anyway, he had only thought of coming here to help her catch a Spirit Beast after seeing the mission about Spirit Beasts charging at the Spiritual Vein!

Lin Kuang's buff quickly attracted the Blue Flame Fox. It chattered at Lin Kuang for a long time.

Xiao Rou, who had no special abilities, couldn't understand what it was saying at all. She only saw that it looked very nervous, so she comforted it, "Don't worry, we'll help you solve the problem!"

Lin Kuang rested his chin on his hand and slowly repeated the Blue Flame Fox's words: "She says a group of bad people is destroying the Spiritual Vein, and the Restriction underneath is about to be dug out!"

"It originally wanted to stop them, but the Cultivators inside are powerful and have been chasing it all the way here!"

"What does that mean?" Xiao Rou looked at the Blue Flame Fox with a face full of confusion.

"Lin... Lin Kuang! Over there! Over there, something seems to be rushing over!" Yu Xiaotang pointed flusteredly at the distant sky, where a bolt of black lightning was flying toward them.

Then, they saw a female Cultivator with wings edged in gold lace looking down at Lin Kuang and the others from high above.

"So it's you. We really are fated!" Ji Chanxi had originally been invited to deal with the Spirit Beasts interfering with the mining, but she hadn't expected this Spirit Beast to actually be under Lin Kuang.

However, Ji Chanxi didn't dislike Lin Kuang because of this; instead, she felt happy.

"This Spirit Beast couldn't have been sent by you, right? You wouldn't be so petty as to oppose our Yin Yang Pavilion at every turn?"

"Or do you simply want to lure me out to fight me?"

"Although I am a third realm Cultivator just like you, my explosive power is no weaker than yours. I'm not afraid of you at all!"

At this moment, Lin Kuang also realized the opponent's strength was the same as his. Ji Chanxi was a heaven-favored daughter; if her cultivation were at the fourth realm, Lin Kuang truly wouldn't dare to accept the challenge.

But since the opponent was currently in the third realm like him, in the same Realm, he was not afraid!

"Fine! If I defeat you, I have some things I want to say to you!"

Ji Chanxi suddenly became interested and said excitedly, "Then if I defeat you, you have to do one thing for me!"

"Fine! Deal!"

Lin Kuang didn't care that much. Whether he won or lost, he would tell her about the Restriction under the Spiritual Vein. Accepting the challenge was just to test Ji Chanxi's strength.

"Then right here, let's decide the winner!" Ji Chanxi had already prepared her combat stance.
