106: Fox fur coat

"If you dare touch me, the Snow Fox Clan will tear you to pieces!"

Li Zhu bared her fangs and claws, but her strength was already depleted, and with Fang Huai gripping her tail, she had long lost all power.

"If the Snow Fox Clan you speak of could protect you, you wouldn't have been hiding here for over ten years."

A cold glint flashed in Fang Huai's eyes: "I'll count to three. If you don't give me a reason, I'll snap off your tail!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Seeing Fang Huai's serious demeanor, Li Zhu finally became afraid. She blinked and said, "No, no, no, big brother, it's freezing cold. Don't you want a fox fur coat?"

"Oh?" Fang Huai chuckled, "You mean for me to strip your fur and wear it myself?"

Li Zhu waved her hands repeatedly: "Of course not, look!"

With that, her body swayed, her bones and flesh contracted, and she actually flattened into a thin sheet, like a Yao Beast fur coat.

"Who could refuse a soft, fragrant, snow-white fox fur cloak?

And this fox fur coat of mine can be used for storage and can also conceal cultivation. It will surely be convenient for big brother to use."

Li Zhu's body floated up and covered Fang Huai, truly wrapping around him like a coat, with the head part transforming into a hood that covered Fang Huai's hair.

"If only it didn't have that foxy stench."

Fang Huai yanked Li Zhu off him and continued, "I'm not short on clothes!"

Although annoyed, Li Zhu dared not act out and continued, "Judging by big brother's Spell techniques, you must be a Demonic Cultivator. I wonder if big brother is interested in the Dao of Gu Cultivation?"

Fang Huai's ears twitched. Finally, something that interested him: "You, a tiny fox, also cultivate Gu?"

"Of course!"

Seeing Fang Huai take the bait, Li Zhu transformed back into her maiden form, summoned a red mist from her skin pores, and condensed it in her hand, saying:

"Big brother, look, this Gu worm is called the True Immortal Gu. It's a treasured heirloom of our Snow Fox Clan. Since we are fated, I am willing to give this Gu worm to big brother."

Fang Huai frowned deeply. This was no True Immortal Gu; it was clearly a Blood Jade Worm.

He had just been wondering what kind of Gu worms this fox could store. He didn't expect it to be Blood Jade Worms. It seemed the other party was also related to the Tianji Sect.

Thinking this, he deliberately chuckled, "I didn't expect Miss Li Zhu to give This Fang such a good item. Then This Fang will accept it."

He then frowned again, "It's just that This Fang worries this Gu worm might be harmful to me."

Hearing Fang Huai's words, Li Zhu quickly said, "I swear, this Gu worm will absolutely be beneficial and not harmful to you!"

She thought to herself, 'What good is an oath? Once you use the Blood Jade Worm, I'll make you kneel and beg me to free you.'

Li Zhu thought Fang Huai had taken the bait, but Fang Huai likewise believed Li Zhu had taken his bait.

He continued, "How about this, Miss? You make an oath that you will be eternally loyal to me, never harm me, and always obey me. If I die, you will also perish. Only then can I feel at ease using this True Immortal Gu."

Li Zhu secretly thought Fang Huai was truly foolish. He only asked her to swear an oath, but didn't mention the consequences of breaking it. Such an oath had no binding power at all.

So she pointed two fingers to the sky and declared, "I, Li Zhu, swear that in this life, I will not harm big brother, I will always be loyal to big brother, and I will always listen to big brother. If big brother dies, then I will also perish!"

As soon as her voice fell, a black fiend suddenly shot out from behind Fang Huai, surging straight into her glabella.

From the very beginning, one of Fang Huai's hands had been hidden behind his back, performing some unknown actions. It seemed he had set a trap for her.

She hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what did you do?"

Fang Huai sneered, "You were the one who said you wanted to swear an oath, so it's not too much for me to casually use a Vow Fiend, is it?

Playing mind games with a Demonic Cultivator, you truly aren't afraid of death.

From now on, you must adhere to the oath you just made. Otherwise, your Divine Soul will be extinguished, and you will never be reincarnated!"

Li Zhu trembled, "I don't believe it. How can such a vicious curse exist in the world?"

Fang Huai said calmly, "Then you can try attacking me and see if your Divine Soul is extinguished."

Li Zhu tremblingly extended her sharp claws towards Fang Huai. The increasingly intense palpitation in her Sea of Consciousness convinced her that Fang Huai was not lying.

"Don't worry, my fox fur coat, I won't easily kill you."

Fang Huai took a step forward, gently stroking the white fur on Li Zhu's forehead, and asked, "Now tell me, where did you get the Blood Jade Worms?"

Li Zhu's pupils constricted, then she said dejectedly, "No wonder. So you recognize this Gu worm."

...After a period of conversation, Fang Huai finally understood the reason.

It turned out she had also crossed the sea with the Tianji Sect Cultivators.

As a living container for Blood Jade Worms, she and many of her Snow Fox kin came to Chen Country, and while the Tianji Sect Cultivators disembarked, she secretly escaped.

She hid in Sanxian City for ten years, surviving by stealing and eating the remnants of Yao Beasts from the Purification Bureau.

Li Zhu specifically mentioned that she once passed through a place called Nanzhe, where she spent several days using Blood Jade Worms to mature a Mortal without a Spiritual Root into a Qi Condensation Cultivator, and planted the Blood Jade Mother Worm on that person.

Later, she tricked the Cultivator Family stationed in Nanzhe, luring them to cultivate blood jade trees for her.

"So that's how it is." Fang Huai sighed, "Did you also tell that Family that if they encountered danger, they should head north to find the New Sect?"

Li Zhu was surprised, "How did you know?"

Then her eyes widened: "No wonder when I went to Nanzhe again, that Family had been annihilated. So it was you who did it! You truly are my bane!"

Fang Huai shook his head, "Never mind if it was me or not. Now, you should tell me the method to control and breed Blood Jade Worms, shouldn't you?"

..."Hey, hurry up. If you slack off again, I'll pull out your fox tail."

Fang Huai glanced at Li Zhu, who was vigorously digging with her claws under his command.

Li Zhu's snow-white fur was already stained black with dirt, and she mumbled, "So what if I ate a few of your little mice? Do you have to abuse a fox like this?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You can stop when you've dug up what I need."

After Fang Huai finished speaking, he focused and closed his eyes, digesting the Blood Jade Worm Scripture that Li Zhu had just taught him.

The Blood Jade Worm Scripture is divided into the Worm Rearing Chapter, the Cultivation Chapter, and the Worm Controlling Chapter.

The Worm Rearing Chapter includes planting blood jade trees, cultivating Blood Jade Mother Worms, and breeding Blood Jade Worms.

The Cultivation Chapter explains how to cultivate using Blood Jade Worms, including absorbing Spiritual Qi and strengthening the Physical Body.

The Worm Controlling Chapter involves using Blood Jade Worms to attack and control other Cultivators, as well as some Worm Techniques based on Blood Jade Worms.

The incantations of the Blood Jade Worm Scripture were extremely obscure and difficult to practice, but Fang Huai had already exchanged for Li Zhu's mastery of the Blood Jade Worm Scripture, so it was not difficult for him to get started.

Accompanied by his Murmurs, Fang Huai's Blood Jade Worms drilled out of his body, forming a stagnant red mist in the air, and then re-entered his body under Fang Huai's command.

Li Zhu was already very surprised to see Blood Jade Worms stored within Fang Huai, and upon seeing his skilled mastery of the Blood Jade Worm Scripture, her eyes widened even further in astonishment, exclaiming:

"Are you also a Tianji Sect Cultivator?"

Fang Huai said, "I have nothing to do with that Tianji Sect. My goal is to trample all the Cultivators of the Tianji Sect underfoot."

Then, seeing that Li Zhu had dug enough, he waved his hand, making her transform into a fox fur coat that he draped over himself, sighing:

"No wonder they say women are like clothes. This fox fur coat is truly warm."
