Chapter 191
The little fox originally thought that there were only three cubs in the room whom he could squash and knead at will, and was puzzled when he was suddenly picked up. But when he turned around, he saw a familiar face.
The little fox first turned its head to look at Yu Tu, then turned back to look at the person holding it. After a brief moment of puffing up its fur, it became angry and waved its claws in the air: "I don't accept it! I don't accept it! You are fishing and enforcing the law! Jia Muying, you are shameless! You are shameless to bully a child!"
"Woo, woo, woo~" The little fox made a fake cry, "Awoo, woo, woo, woo~"
A little fox cried like a dog.
But the man holding the little fox was unmoved. He even shook the little fox's neck and said, "Have you finished?"
Little Fox: “……?”
The little fox's claws were so angry that they pointed at Yu Tu: "You have your own cubs, so you are so cruel to other people's cubs, right?"
There were a lot of guards outside the auction house of [Mystery]. Yu Tu started to "trick people" since the little fox showed up. Combined with the little fox's words that didn't sound like lies, Yu Tu felt that it was most appropriate to trick Buye Hou - mainly because Di Changqing was actually in the auction house of [Mystery].
It took some time to locate the auction house among a large number of virtual coordinates, so the Marquis of Buye didn't come immediately. But it's not too late for him to come now, at least the little fox didn't manipulate the mask to put on his face for the second time.
As for what the little fox said about “other people’s cubs”…the mask is so old, even the cubs should have grown into old ones!
Facing this troublesome-looking creature, Yu Tu acted quite indifferent. He held the miniature red fox between two fingers and continued to swing it. If this scene was shown in a comic, mosquito coils would have appeared in the eyes of the little red fox.
"Jia Muying, that's enough! You've had enough!" The little fox wrapped its tail around his finger, "I'm going to vomit, I'm going to vomit!"
The dizzying shaking stopped.
The dazed little fox's vision finally returned to normal. He looked up and saw that the three cubs who had been "bullied" by him before were standing behind Jiamuying, and each of them had a gloating look on their face.
The little red fox was really wronged this time, he burst into tears: "You are too much... you are really too much... you used to like the big fat chicken the most, but now you like your own cubs the most, you just pick on me to bully me, let me tell you, many people like me, wuwuwu———"
Even though the little fox was still held by the back of his neck in the hand of the Buyehou, he was so upset that he almost pouts:
"Thousands of years have passed, and you bully me when we meet... You have no conscience. If I hadn't heard about our common talents, I wouldn't have come out to help..."
The little fox cried and kicked, behaving completely differently from before.
Eric nudged Yu Tu's arm with his elbow and whispered, "The cub that the predecessor of Buyehou raised thousands of years ago came to find out that the guardian has a new cub?"
Yu Tu: "...Don't ask me, I don't know."
Hao Zhizhi also came over: "Tu Tu, vinegar?"
Yu Tu: “No!”
He is still confused now!
But Eric and Hao Zhizhi obviously didn't know. They exchanged glances and seemed to understand something at the same time.
The cub’s mouth is so hard!
The little fox couldn't be beaten or kicked, so he wiped away his tears and started sobbing and grinding his teeth. He wagged his tail and turned his head, trying to get back into the mask.
Then... the skin on the back of my neck was pinched in my hands and I couldn't run away.
The little fox seemed to be very familiar with Buyehou, or rather, Buyehou's former identity "Jiamuying". Although Yu Tu knew nothing, it did not prevent him from seizing this opportunity.
He put the little fox on the table, and after the little fox recalled the mask, he asked, "Don't you want the fragments?"
The little fox, whose paws had already pressed on the mask, suddenly braked. It turned its head and said fiercely: "Since you are here, you can save the cub I marked yourself!"
What it said was very strange. It was clearly the mark it planted, but it seemed not to be it.
Yu Tu suddenly thought of a possibility, and he said, "You are the fallen Nine-Tailed Fox."
Yu Tu had encountered a corrupt and evil ape on Mount Sitai before. The corrupt ape knew people's past and could eat their future.
The word "degeneration" was so common that Eric and Hao Zhizhi realized immediately the identity of the little red fox in front of them - a weird beast.
The strange beasts in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be divided into various categories such as auspicious beasts, ferocious beasts, and catastrophic beasts. However, no matter what type of strange beast, after degeneration, they will all be collectively called "weird beasts."
The Nine-Tailed Fox is a lucky beast that symbolizes the rise of a king. It was also one of the totems worshipped in ancient times. The lucky beast has fallen and turned into something evil... The two of them became alert instantly.
It is impossible for a monster to maintain its sanity before its fall. This little red fox... is really weird.
When Buyehou said "You are the fallen Nine-Tailed Fox", the little fox with a rich and lively expression seemed to be frozen in time. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the auctioneer's voice came through the "floor-to-ceiling window", and the content was the same as the future that Yu Tu saw after putting on the mask.
"Time is so fair." It murmured to itself, "You, me... no one can beat time."
A strange red light rose from His body, and Eric, Yu Tu, and Hao Zhizhi suddenly could not hear what the little fox was saying—the little fox separated them with a barrier.
The little fox said, "Jia Muying, don't you remember anything?"
Apart from the already disappeared Di Ting, this is the only other person who clearly stated that he knew of the existence of Buyehou. However, Di Ting called him Mr. Yuchuan, and the little fox called him Jiamuying.
Yu Tu looked into the little fox's eyes, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Whether he was facing Di Ting or the little fox, he had no impression of these people who seemed to know him.
The little fox seemed a little sad, but the sadness was fleeting and seemed to be just an illusion.
He said: "They call you the Lord of the Night, so you must be the Lord of the Night."
Yu Tu asked: "Have you ever been familiar with me?"
"It doesn't matter," said the little fox. "It's all in the past."
Four royal lanterns have been lit outside the "floor-to-ceiling window". According to the rules of the extra show, the four "stars" are temporarily immersed in another temporarily constructed space.
Putting on the mask, I saw another space in the "future", which was endless darkness. But now, in the darkness was a flowing galaxy. The auctioneer hid in the galaxy and asked the same question: "Would the four distinguished guests choose to compete for the top prize in literature or the top prize in martial arts?"
In [Flying Lights], Di Zhangqing's voice was heard: "There are only us in the extra field, there is no need to do these fake things."
In [Yao Ling An Zang], Xie Jianwei said, "Di Changqing, are you going to interfere again?"
"Xie Jianwei, don't say such harsh words. Although I don't know why you want to shoot this thing, but you all want it, so I want it too." The future seemed to be reproduced one by one at this moment, and Di Changqing's lazy voice pushed the conversation forward, "There are two more friends, are you all silent?"
The "future" has reached a turning point, and Yu Tu suddenly spoke: "What do you want me to say?"
In [Flying Lights], Di Changqing, who was lazily playing with the decorations, suddenly jumped up and widened his eyes in shock: "Marquis of Nevernight?!"
Di Changqing only felt a dull pain on his forehead, as if the headache of almost seeing his grandmother had not completely disappeared.
Doesn't the Buyehou like to go out? How come we bump into each other again by such a coincidence! This is totally unreasonable!
The Lord of Buye intervened in the future that was about to happen, and thus the future deviated from its original direction.
After Di Changqing's shock, Xie Jianwei made a smooth choice: "Fighting Star."
Gu Hongying and Robert in [Palace on the Sea] certainly would not go against Xie Jianwei, so they voted for Dou Wuxing twice.
Knowing that he would not have the right to choose, Di Changqing simply gave up his rights in [Flying Light Does Not Pass] - and thus saved himself from getting beaten up again.
Di Changqing took the initiative to withdraw, leaving three royal lanterns. [Palace on the Sea] directly raised the white flag. Xie Jianwei in [Yaoling Anzang] hesitated for a while before asking:
"Master Buyehou, why are you doing this?"
For what?
Yu Tu also thought about why he spoke up as the Marquis of Buye and interfered with what the little fox said about "the future is not completely fixed", but it didn't seem to require too much thought -
"Searching for missing memories."
Xie Jianwei's eyes moved slightly. No one knew what she was thinking at this moment. She just curled her lips and smiled, then said, "I give up my rights."
The three royal lanterns all gave up their rights, the [antique fragments] belonged to [the sound of all things], the temporary space disintegrated, and the four rooms returned to the auction house of [mystery].
The auctioneer smiled as he introduced the next item on the stage, as if he was unaware of the previous undercurrents. The item that had been fought over by the four king lanterns was sent to [Sound of All Things].
The transparent bubble burst, and an irregular bronze fragment the size of an adult's palm fell into Yu Tu's hand. When he looked at it from a distance before, the color of the red lines on the fragment looked a bit like the spots on the white background of the mask. Now that he picked them up for comparison, he found that they had the same origin.
Most of the little fox's body merged back into the mask, transforming into the red pattern on the mask. Perhaps because the fragments and the mask were in the same space, in just a few breaths, the spots on the mask seemed to have increased.
Yu Tu looked at the fragment carefully. It looked very similar to the town tower he had seen in the records, but the town tower had disappeared 1,300 years ago.
The scent emanating from the patterns on the fragments was strange yet familiar, very similar to that of a corrupted and weird ape. The scent of the mask was also from the same source—the mask was also degenerating.
But... by focusing the energy in his eyes, he could see that the little fox did not really exist. It was just a ball of energy, a ball of memory.
Can memories also be eroded by the Degeneration?
