County of Skyfire.
At night, the lanterns of the county office were dimly bright, each and every snowflake dancing under the halo.
Han Ye had traveled peacefully. By the time he arrived in the county, there were hardly any people on the streets. It seemed like he would have to meet with the Liang County Magistrate tomorrow.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.1‘
Han Ye glanced at the tightly closed county office and thought to himself.
Master Liu had instructed him to deliver the items before noon tomorrow.
So, he and his accompanying guards casually found an inn in the county to stay for the night.
Under the oil lamp, Han Ye was still earnestly reading the Forging Body Four Meridians.
The large characters on the page in front of him read “Blood Marrow Scroll”.
Because he still couldn’t grasp the essence of the Blood Marrow Realm, Han Ye read the illustrated book of the Four Meridians day and night, just to find an answer.
“Those who perceive Qi do not need a perfect physical body, they can also start Qi cultivation, the Blood Marrow Realm, is the perfection of the physical body, cultivating marrow like frost, blood like mercury, cutting hair and washing marrow…”
Biting his thumb, he pondered hard, as if he had had an idea.
“In other words, you can cultivate Qi without breaking through to the Blood Marrow Realm.”
But he had already come this far.
How could he not strive for perfection in his cultivation?
Han Ye felt that it would be better to start Qi cultivation after entering the Blood Marrow Realm.
In this way, his foundation would be incredibly solid, far surpassing others in the same realm.
“Creak!”
Suddenly, a corner of the window in the room opened, and a flash of snow-white shadow caught Han Ye’s attention.
Huh?
Han Ye put down the book in his hand, raised the oil lamp, and surveyed the surroundings.
With a puzzled look in his eyes.
It seemed that he had heard something “swish” by.
As a martial artist, his perception was very sharp, he couldn’t be wrong.
“I didn’t expect you, young and sturdy, to be such a diligent learner.”
Suddenly, a sweet and enticing voice came from behind him.
Han Ye was startled, sweating coldly.
He quickly turned around and saw that there was a tall and slender girl in a green gown in his room.
She was no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with shoulders as if carved, a waist as thin as silk, overly thin, and a very fair face with a bright smile.
Under the dim yellow glow of the oil lamp, the girl was incredibly breathtaking. If he had to describe her in three words, they would be: white, young, skinny. But Han Ye was not in the mood to appreciate her.
Thinking about it, a beautiful girl appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the night – if she’s not a ghost, she must be a demon.
“Are you a ghost or a demon?”
Han Ye clenched his fists, condensed the Dragon and Tiger Breath in his fists, calmed his mind, and questioned her.
“Why must it be a ghost or a demon, can’t I just be a person?”
The girl who had suddenly appeared from nowhere was laughing, staring at
Han Ye with a strange gleam in her eyes.
Han Ye sighed helplessly, “Please, don’t be so obvious. It’s winter and it’s snowing outside, what normal person would wear a sheer dress in this weather? Also, it’s already late at night, and such a beautiful woman appearing in my room is too bizarre.”
“I can tell at a glance that you are not human.”
As Han Ye spoke, his confidence was gradually strengthened.
“You’re right, I am a demon, and I’m here to eat you.”
The girl’s eyes suddenly flashed green, her tone turning a degree colder, as if she was about to devour Han Ye alive at any moment.
“If that’s the case, bring it on!”
Hearing this, Han Ye’s brows furrowed. He immediately assumed a fighting stance, his body coiled like a bow.
When dealing with these demons and monsters, the first thing is not to lose the momentum, it needs to be strong.
“Ha ha, you’re so serious.”
The girl suddenly couldn’t help but laugh. She giggled as she covered her mouth.
Seeing that Han Ye remained impassive, she pouted and stuck out her tongue.
“Just kidding… you really took it seriously.”
“How could I possibly be one of those lonely spirits or wild animals in the woods? That’d be quite a downgrade, not to mention, I do have a shadow.” “Here, look.”
The girl pointed to the shadow illuminated by the oil lamp.
Han Ye looked down and indeed, there was a human shadow.
The scent of the girl’s breath as she spoke suggested that she was a living being, not a ghost.
But he hesitated for a moment, and took a step back, just in case.
Seeing Han Ye’s reaction, the girl showed a helpless look but finally released her playful side and earnestly said:
“Benefactor, you really can’t take a joke, can I? Alright, I’ll tell you directly. I am here to repay a karmic debt.”
“Repay? What kind of repayment?”
Han Ye still felt confused.
Patience personified, the girl asked: “Do you remember the white fox you met in the Buddhist temple?”
White Fox?
Han Ye was stunned, recalling the strange encounter in the ancient temple that night.
His impression of it was deep-seated. He couldn’t forget it.
Was it possible that this girl was…
“You’re the White Fox?!”
Han Ye widened his eyes and asked. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂/p/ters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c/𝒐/m
“Indeed”.
The girl nodded solemnly.
Han Ye began to size up the girl, as if he were looking for the features of a fox.
Her skin was quite pale.
But every other aspect couldn’t connect to that of a white furry fox.
Could it be in a place he couldn’t see…
“Turn around and let me see.”
Han Ye urged her.
The girl gracefully turned around then giggled saying:
“Thanks to you, my transformation is extremely perfect, as long as I wish, you won’t see any flaws.”
“Thanks to me?”
The girl patiently explained: “Without you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to transform. I borrowed your fate and absorbed your ‘human aura’, creating who I am now. That’s why I said I’m here to repay my debt, or in other words, to repay a favor.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Han Ye rubbed his chin, suddenly realizing.
“Our fates are bound together. If you die, I will also suffer a backlash from our intertwined fate. Only when you have restored your fate and possess the ability to protect yourself, can I leave without worries.”
The girl sat straight up in the chair, with her hands on each side, swinging her legs back and forth.
Upon hearing this, Han Ye was silent for a moment, then queried: “Why all this fuss? Couldn’t you have just eaten my flesh to gain ‘human aura’? That’s what books say.”
The girl shook her head: “You’re talking about wild foxes, aren’t you? I’m different from them”.
“I come from an ancient fox clan, I belong to the Tushan lineage, a true descendant of fox immortals. How could I be compared with those sideshow creatures? They’re wicked creatures among monsters, just like lonely spirits. But in the future, I’ll be ennobled.”
“Tushan…”
In Han Ye’s memory, the Tushan family seemed quite famous.
“Yes, Tushan, my name is Tushan Qingli.”
“What did you say your name was?”
Facing this lively and attractive girl in front of him, Han Ye felt a bit unreal.
If he understood this girl correctly, she was here to return a favor?
He’d just randomly gained a pet out of nowhere?
Tushan Qingli’s beautiful eyes fixated on him unblinkingly, only then did Han
Ye realize his missed courtesy, he quickly responded:
“My name is Han Ye.”
“Okay, benefactor, I look forward to your guidance in the future.”
