An Su
"Junior brother, is it that all foxes in your clan have the same sleeping posture?"
Nan Yi was confused, and then he heard Chu Li say, "You slept like that last night, all sprawled out, and I had to straighten you up in the end."
Nan Yi frowned, a rare look of bewilderment appearing on his face. "This shouldn't be..."
Is his sleeping posture really that bad? He used to sleep in his original form, and when he woke up, he was always curled up neatly—
He caught a glimpse of Chu Li pursing her lips and slightly twitching her cheeks. He looked up abruptly, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Senior sister, are you teasing me on purpose?"
Chu Li finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If you were in the form of a fox now, that would be even better."
If he were a fox, he would probably be in a state of being all puffed up right now, and she had almost never seen Nan Yi look like that when he was all puffed up.
Nan Yi quickly understood what his senior sister was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Fortunately, Chu Li wasn't someone who readily showed her emotions. She quickly composed herself, looked at the foxes scattered on the ground, and asked, "What are you going to do with these cubs?"
If they wanted to go out on their own, it would be relatively easy, but if they took these helpless cubs with them, they might not be able to protect them.
"What do you mean, what to do?" Nan Yi shifted his gaze somewhat awkwardly. "That's something the clan leader needs to consider."
"Hmm?" Chu Li raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were definitely going to take the cubs out with you."
When Chu Li saw the cubs, she sensed that the person behind them didn't really want to harm them. Otherwise, why would they just put them in a simple house with only a simple outer formation and no restrictions on any of the cubs, even letting them all sleep soundly inside?
Indeed, she sensed it as soon as she entered; the air was filled with a very fine layer of hypnotic powder, which was harmless to the body but could keep the weak fox cubs asleep.
Furthermore, they destroyed the array around the house, yet no one has appeared. Logically, the owner of this place should have noticed them the moment they entered—of course, it's possible that the owner was held back by the fox clan chief, but there's also the possibility that the person behind it wasn't really interested in these cubs, so he didn't care about this place.
On the other side.
Ansu looked at the fox in front of him, whom he could call his older brother, tilted his head, and suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to ask humans for help. It seems that the fox clan has fallen on hard times? The first person to find the cubs was actually a human."
He watched with satisfaction as the man opposite him widened his pupils in shock. He remembered his older brother from before, who was very hostile to people of other races.
This was something he had only just sensed. The two had used fox blood when they entered, and he had assumed they were both foxes. However, when they were breaking the formation, he unexpectedly sensed the presence of humans.
The expression on his brother's face right now is truly fascinating.
An Jue tried her best to hide the turmoil churning within her. If what An Su said was true, and it was a human and a fox that came in, then it must be Chu Li and Nan Yi. But how could it be...?
No, that's not right. Nan Yi has been very smart since childhood, so it's not impossible for her to react quickly. As for Chu Li, her strength has already reached the top level. How could someone like her not be good at comprehension? Although everyone in the cultivation world only thinks she is a cultivation fanatic and never cares about other things, that doesn't mean she can't see the real information hidden behind things.
An Su clapped her hands gently at this moment, "Brother, you look so excited... how about letting you meet them?"
As the palm struck, a crisp sound rang out, and the entire space began to vibrate. An Jue's expression changed. He felt the ground beneath his feet moving, while he himself felt as if he were trapped in a fixed space, unable to even turn around.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that An Su's cultivation level was now far above his own. He had been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for far too long, while An Su had already cultivated to the Tribulation Transcending stage using evil techniques long before this.
But if even he can't contend with Ansu, then there really isn't any fox in the fox clan that can defeat him. As for that curse... he can't think of any other way to break it right now. The simplest way is to kill Ansu directly and eliminate the source of the curse.
He watched as the space before him gradually distorted, and a figure suddenly flashed into his mind... If it were her, would she have a way?
It's worth a try; regardless of which side wins or loses, it won't be a loss for him.
The two spaces merged very quickly, and just as An Su had expected, An Jue soon saw the man and the fox.
Upon seeing the human and the fox, An Jue subtly glanced at An Su. Seeing that An Su did not show any strange expression but only looked at him with some interest, he felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that An Su did not know the true identity of the woman opposite him.
Ansu first glanced at the human and the fox, then shifted her gaze to the young fox, staring at him intently for a moment: "You're not from the fox clan?"
He didn't detect any trace of his curse on the fox before him. However, this fox, while not exactly young—it was several hundred years old—had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Perhaps its talent was lacking; even given more time, it wouldn't grow nine tails.
When the thought flashed through his mind, he immediately lost interest and turned his gaze to the other woman... Nascent Soul stage, her cultivation was alright, barely meeting his standards, but he didn't expect there to be such a big surprise this time.
Chu Li and Nan Yi remained motionless during the spatial fusion. When the fusion was complete, two very similar people appeared in front of them, and they looked at each other in surprise.
One of the two was naturally the clan leader, and as for the other, it goes without saying that he was the one hiding in the shadows. However, neither she nor Nan Yi expected that the two would look so alike.
The clan leader has a brother? Chu Li looked at Nan Yi.
Nan Yi shook his head blankly. He had never heard of such a thing since he went to the fox clan.
Chu Li turned her head again and took a sniff of the scent floating in the air. It was such a strong smell of evil cultivators.
From this perspective, the fox has completely embarked on the path of heretical cultivation.
That's really troublesome. The evil techniques used by evil cultivators are inherently more powerful, and judging from that evil cultivator, his strength should be even higher than that of the clan leader. So, wouldn't none of the three of them be able to defeat him?
Chu Li had thought that since the clan leader was personally attending the appointment, there should be some certainty, but who would have thought that this would be the result.
When An Su's gaze turned to Chu Li, revealing greed in her eyes, Nan Yi subconsciously stepped in front of Chu Li, watching An Su with great vigilance.
"Get out of my way." An Su pushed out with one hand, and an invisible wave pushed Nan Yi away hard. He then turned his head to look at An Jue. "I said before that I don't eat foxes, but if he comes any closer, I'm not sure if I'll make an exception for him."
An Jue gritted his teeth and grabbed Nan Yi with one hand. He couldn't let Nan Yi act so willfully. Who knew what An Su would do?
Nan Yi is considered the last hope of the fox clan. He has been searching for hundreds of years, but he has only found one fox with such high talent, even though he is injured now...
Nan Yi forcefully pulled away the wrists that were gripping his shoulders, his eyes already showing anxiety: "Let go, I need to go to my senior sister's side!"
However, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and was no match for An Jue. An Jue even anticipated his next move and severed his connection with the space.
Chu Li shook her head at Nan Yi. In the current situation, even if Nan Yi came, he wouldn't be of much help.
She began to form hand seals; facing a heretical cultivator of such power, she would hold nothing back.
Nan Yi grew increasingly anxious. His only tail emerged and slammed into An Jue's hand, but this was merely a tickle to An Jue. He didn't understand why Nan Yi would do such a futile effort. He frowned, somewhat annoyed: "Behave yourself."
“Hmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten a human. I wonder if it will taste similar to what I used to?” An Su said, while carefully examining the woman in front of her again.
Chu Li remained expressionless, and within seconds she formed countless hand seals once more.
Nan Yi's gaze suddenly froze after hearing a certain point in his words; he remembered!
He had heard a legend before—a fox that preyed on all kinds of creatures at night. It accepted all creatures except foxes, including humans. The fox did this, supposedly because it believed it could increase its cultivation and wisdom.
At that time, he always thought it was just a legend, but now it seems to be true?
Chu Li's several domains were all torn apart by the opponent's claw. The huge fox claw was covered with thick black energy and tore the domains apart effortlessly.
"Is that all?" An Su was somewhat bored. Thinking about it, it made sense. The other party was only at the Nascent Soul stage. It was already quite impressive that he dared to display so many things in front of him, considering that he was no longer the weak man he used to be.
Chu Li smiled faintly, then suddenly clasped her hands together. In an instant, the domains that had clearly dissipated into fragments merged back into a new domain.
"Oh? That's quite interesting."
The pitch-black domain not only enveloped An Su, but also Chu Li.
Looking at the current situation, An Jue's brows, which had been furrowed earlier, remained furrowed. He wondered whether Chu Li was capable or not. If he really couldn't defeat An Su, then he would have to take Nan Yi and the cubs and leave first.
He didn't realize that his tightly clenched hands relaxed for a moment—a scorching heat suddenly assaulted his wrist, and out of self-preservation, he instinctively pulled his hands away.
At that moment, a figure rushed into the domain without hesitation.
An Jue was so angry that his face was almost contorted, but he couldn't just ignore Nan Yi—otherwise the fox clan would really be wiped out. So he had no choice but to follow him into the domain.
As soon as Nan Yi entered, she spotted a familiar figure lying on the ground, and An Su was standing a few meters in front of her.
"I told you, you're nothing special."
Although An Su said this, she was actually a little confused. He hadn't done anything to her yet, so why was she the one who lay down first? Could it be that her spiritual energy was depleted and her body couldn't take it?
But this is also a good thing, as he has never experienced anything like it before, getting to taste other people's moves.
He stepped forward, and the enormous fox paw reappeared, this time aimed directly at his forehead; he always preferred to start from the beginning.
"Senior Sister!"
Nan Yi threw himself on top of Chu Li, gently pressing his forehead against hers. "If I had known, I shouldn't have let you get involved in this. This has nothing to do with you..."
Ansu was quite impatient. Since this fox insisted on coming closer, he had no choice but to attack it as well. He had never tasted the flavor of a fox that had gained sentience in all these years.
The fox's paw slid down with a whistling sound, but in an instant, all sound seemed to stop, and the entire area became eerily silent.
An Su's fox paw was only a short distance from the back of Chu Nanyi's head, and the tips of her nails were almost touching his scalp, but it was as if something was blocking her forward movement.
His cheeks turned bright red, but no matter how hard he tried, the fox's paw wouldn't move forward an inch.
A faint golden light surrounded Chu Li's body, and perhaps because Nan Yi was very close to her, the golden light also enveloped Nan Yi's body.
It was this golden light that effortlessly blocked Ansu's fatal attack.
A cool sensation brushed across Nan Yi's forehead. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a blue lotus slowly blooming between Chu Li's eyebrows.
The lotus flower looked familiar; it was indeed a blue lotus. But why did it suddenly appear between my senior sister's eyebrows...?
The lotus flower unfolded fully between Chu Li's brows. An Su, watching this, felt a sudden surge of fear and instinctively took a step back.
But this is the only step left.
Next came the sound of him crashing to the ground. The sound wasn't loud, but in the minds of the two foxes who were still conscious, it was deafening.
The blue lotus between Chu Li's brows had disappeared at some point, and in its place, a blood hole shaped like a lotus flower appeared between An Su's brows.
