105: Do I look more like a fairy or a fox?

"This technique is likely much better than the other Purification Bureaus in Sanxian City!"

"The price is good too, but why does Fellow Daoist Fang want to collect Yao blood?"

For reading Taiwan novels, Taiwan Novel Network is the first choice, read anytime at twkan.com.

"Who cares what he wants to collect!"

"..."

The Cultivators were enthusiastic, one after another booking slots for the upcoming Yao Beast processing.

Fang Huai smiled and said, "This Fang has limited ability and can only process two Yao Beasts a day. You can first register with my wives, and I will contact you in the order of registration."

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I can be your apprentice for free, I only ask that you teach me a bit of your technique!"

Some Cultivators, seeing Fang Huai alone without an apprentice, immediately had an idea.

"Apologies, This Fang has no intention of taking an apprentice for the time being."

Seeing that the promotional effect had been achieved, Fang Huai instructed the Yun Family Sisters to continue communicating with the Cultivators, while he turned and returned to the courtyard of the Purification Bureau.

The night was deep. Since the Yun Family Sisters had not yet stepped into the First Level of Qi Refining, they could not withstand the thick Evil Qi of the Purification Bureau and had already returned to their original residence.

Fang Huai took advantage of the quiet night to go to the backyard of the Purification Bureau. With a thought, a stream of quicksand swept him into the underground cavity dug by the Digging Rats.

"Illumination Technique!"

Fang Huai flicked his fingers, and firelight illuminated the space.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Fang Huai mimicked the sound of the Digging Rats, attempting to call them.

However, to his surprise, not one of the ten Digging Rats responded.

Could they have run away? Aren't these little things supposed to recognize their master?

Sniffing carefully, a faint scent of blood permeated the air.

His gaze swept across the empty underground space and focused on a seemingly ordinary white stone.

【Gu-Eating Snow Fox】

【Early Foundation Establishment Stage】

【Satiated (Grey)】【Gu-Storing Body (Red)】

【Satiated: This snow fox has just devoured ten Digging Rats】

【Gu-Storing Body: This fox can store a large number of Gu insects in its body and is often used by Cultivators as a container for storing Gu.】

Fang Huai's eyes flickered; it seemed his Digging Rats had been swallowed by this snow fox.

The snow fox's camouflage technique was truly exquisite. If it weren't for his ability to see through things, he certainly wouldn't have felt there was anything strange about this white stone.

Fang Huai remained calm, quietly stepping back, preparing to use the Quicksand Technique to teleport himself out again. Just then, the "stone" spoke.

"Big brother, since you've already noticed me, why not stay?"

As the voice fell, the lustrous white texture on the surface of the "stone" emitted a faint halo, and the stone patterns transformed into wisps of fluffy snow-colored fox fur, trembling gently along the curves.

Then the outline stretched, changing from hard edges to soft and fluid, and a pair of deep amber eyes gazed at Fang Huai.

Seeing the other party reveal her form, Fang Huai summoned the crimson heavens cry and called forth the Demon Lord Wang Teng, saying:

"Where did this Yao fox come from, daring to sneak into Sanxian City? Do you really think Sanxian City is empty!"

"What Yao fox? This little girl's name is Li Zhu," the snow fox sneered. "I have been dormant here for over ten years. By that count, you are the outsider.

Looking at the Devilish Qi all over you, you are the one Sanxian City should be wary of, right?"

With that, Li Zhu's figure suddenly blurred, her snow-colored fox fur churning, and in an instant, she transformed into a giant snow fox several meters long.

The white fur all over her body stood on end, and crimson sharp claws suddenly popped out from her paw pads, lunging straight for Fang Huai's face with a sharp whistling sound!

Fang Huai's pupils constricted. Daring not to hesitate for a moment, he hurriedly summoned the crimson heavens cry to block in front of him.

"Clang—"

The sound of clashing metal made the surrounding air vibrate slightly as the crimson heavens cry collided with Li Zhu's claws.

Fang Huai felt a massive force surge along the blade; the webbing between his thumb and forefinger split, and a numbing sensation instantly spread through his arm.

He retreated three steps, his boot soles plowing two shallow furrows in the ground before he barely managed to steady himself.

Li Zhu looked down at her front paw, a hint of surprise flashing in her fox eyes. The tip of the sharp claw that had just collided with the crimson heavens cry had actually chipped a tiny bit.

"Tsk, a Ninth Level of Qi Refining Cultivator can actually injure me with a spirit sword?"

A low sneer escaped Li Zhu's throat: "You're certainly more interesting than those trash who only know how to hide behind Gu insects."

After this blow, Fang Huai had already made a judgment: although Li Zhu had the Realm of a Foundation Establishment Yao Cultivator, her strength was far inferior to Yao Beasts of the same level.

"Wang Teng, flank her!" Fang Huai gritted his teeth and shouted, summoning the Demon Lord Wang Teng.

Wang Teng immediately wrapped his head in billowing Devilish Qi and whistled as he lunged at Li Zhu. Taking advantage of his small size, he constantly pulled at Li Zhu's body and bit her from time to time.

Fang Huai applied the Light Body Technique and used sword light and Netherworld Clawss to launch sneak attacks from a distance.

The human and the devil cooperated seamlessly. In just a moment, several bloody holes were torn into Li Zhu's body, and her snow fox fur was instantly soaked in blood.

Annoyed by the harassment of the two, Li Zhu suddenly raised her head and roared. The white fur all over her body stood upright like porcupine quills and shot out in all directions.

The Demon Lord Wang Teng was very close and was instantly hit by over a hundred fox hairs. With a scream, he dove into the nearby soil and disappeared.

Fang Huai was also hit by dozens of fox hairs, numerous bloody holes exploding on his body, and he was struck by Li Zhu's fox tail, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Li Zhu licked her lips, her massive fox body approaching Fang Huai, her eyes narrowing into slits: "Ninth Level of Qi Refining should be enough... I ask you, do you think I look like an Immortal or a fox?"

Requesting a Title?

Fang Huai's heart tightened. He had heard that during their growth period, some Yao Beasts need to request a title from a powerful person.

Clearly, the strength he had just displayed, which far exceeded the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, had made Li Zhu recognize him as a powerhouse who could grant a title.

He also knew a thing or two about the tricks of Requesting a Title: if he said Li Zhu looked like an Immortal, her spiritual power would skyrocket; if he said she looked like a fox, her Physical Body would become even stronger.

No matter the outcome, for him at this moment, it would be no different from playing with fire.

With a turn of his thoughts, Fang Huai spoke: "I think you look like a delicate, gentle, and clingy Human Race girl who recognizes her master!"

"You guy!" Li Zhu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

She felt her power rapidly draining away.

The giant fox body deflated rapidly like a leaking ball, and the fluffy long fur retracted back into the skin and flesh along the texture.

Within just a few breaths, Li Zhu no longer looked like a white fox and had turned into a half-human, half-fox girl with waist-length white hair and a snow-colored fox tail perking up behind her.

"I... you!" Li Zhu was so angry her fingertips trembled, her amber eyes wide.

She had clearly given Fang Huai the two options of Immortal or fox, but who would have thought this man wouldn't play by the rules and forced out a third answer, turning her into this half-human, half-fox state!

The Gu-Eating Snow Fox was not a tribe skilled in combat to begin with. After this ordeal, although she still had the Foundation Establishment cultivation, her combat power had shrunk, and it would take at least ten years to recover her strength.

What was even more infuriating was that seeing her rush forward in a rage, Fang Huai didn't dodge at all, instead raising his arm and offering it to her mouth, as if certain she couldn't hurt him.

Li Zhu bit down hard, her teeth sinking into him, but she almost chipped her teeth.

"Tsk!"

Fang Huai chuckled, reached out and grabbed Li Zhu's snow-colored fox tail, and with a little force, he lifted her into the air.

The girl's face turned red, her feet kicking in the air, looking both angry and anxious, but Fang Huai said in a flat tone:

"Now, give me a reason to spare your life."
