Chapter 1286: Prioritize Courtesy Before Force
r to deal with! You deserve death!"The Ghost King roared, dragging a long plume of black smoke, and once again charged towards Ripple."My Lord, you are mistaken. I am only after you. Your wife and you...Ripple was now chatting with her mother in her own fox den. It had been hundreds of years since they had last been together, and both were a bit unfamiliar with each other. However, as the conversation deepened, that sense of strangeness also began to fade.
Bai Yuyan didn't expect that, during the days she wasn't around, her daughter had grown so outstanding, even surpassing both of them in cultivation. Now, she was leading the fox clan down a new path and it was already showing results. A surge of pride filled Bai Yuyan's heart.
"Ripple, you've done amazingly well. You are the most outstanding kitsune junior I've ever seen."
Bai Yuyan showered him with praise.
"Thank you, mother, for your praise. This is just the beginning. The road ahead is still long. For the future of the fox clan, I will do my best."
Ripple smiled sweetly.
"Did you say today that you're going to use that spirit flower to cultivate your eighth tail Is that just a way to placate those fellow clan members who are scheming against you"
A father knows his daughter best, Bai She added afterwards.
"Only my father understands me. I just said that Duo Duo has already been able to shapeshift, and I wouldn't let anything happen to her."
Then you're saying that being almost done with the Eighth Tail is just an excuse. If someone from the clan asks, you better have an answer ready.
“Father, mother, I am indeed about to advance in rank, which is why I have returned to the clan. This time, I have also brought back the profits the fox clan has earned outside. In the coming period, I do not plan to go out. I need to guide the younger generations of the clan, and I must also refine a batch of talismans and pills. Moreover, I will strive to cultivate the eighth tail. Only then will I have more say in the clan.”
Ripples briefly explained what he would be doing next.
"As long as you have a plan, we'll cooperate with you."
Bai She immediately said, my own daughter doesn't support, who else can she support.
"Father and mother's cultivation is currently stable, there shouldn't be any major breakthroughs in the short term. Why not try painting talismans, learning alchemy, or practicing array formations Perhaps these will help you improve your cultivation."
Humans are very intelligent, they are naturally superior to us demons in physique. Therefore, they invented cultivation techniques, learning to enhance defense with talismans and formations, quickly improve their cultivation with pills, and use refined weapons to aid in attacks. These are all worth learning from.
Since Heaven allows these things to exist, there must be a reason for it. We demon clans don't have to cling to our old ways. We can try to accept new things, so that we can go further in the long run.
The ripples began to brainwash the mother, causing her to change too.
"Alright, I've heard what both of you father and daughter have to say. Seeing your cultivation progress so rapidly, you must have grasped the laws of heaven and earth. I won't be able to help and certainly won't hold you back."
Bai Yuyan smiled faintly and fully accepted Lian Yi's words.
After spending two days with Bai Yuyan, Lian Yi, accompanied by Bai She, went to see Lang Kui and Lang Fu. Of course, they avoided Lian Xi Ye, so they made an appointment outside.
Lang Kui and Lang Fu didn't expect that the most popular junior from the fox clan would actually want to meet them. Although they were puzzled, the two still agreed to the meeting.
Bai Lianyi has met two senior members of the wolf clan.
R ripples smiled faintly and said.
"Master Bai, you are too kind. I wonder what advice you have for us"
The wolf king courteously returned the greeting, the little girl's cultivation was above theirs.
The two clans are quite distant and rarely interact in daily life. Younger generations often clash, but for these elders, it's a trivial matter. They believe that the fox clan elder wouldn't come to see them over something like this.
"It was Ripple's boldness, but she received a message and thought it best to inform the wolf clan after some consideration."
The ripples first paved the way, then directly brought the topic to Lian Xiye.
He said that after returning to Yuntai Sect, he found that he was unable to recover his status as a cultivator. In order to survive or perhaps for revenge, he made a deal with the Yuntai Sect. He returned to the wolf clan as a demon cultivator and went undercover to provide the sect with important news about the demon race.
Lang Kui and Lang Fu listened to Lian Yi's words, their facial expressions remained calm, apparently they already had some guesses.
"Elder Bai, is the information reliable"
"Reliable, that's what a disciple of the Yuntian Sect's Law Enforcement Hall said. He traded this information for a Beauty Pill."
Ripples casually made up an excuse.
The Langui and Langfu looked at each other. They had also heard that the Fox Clan had taken a different path, selling what they refined to the Human Race. The spirit stones they earned were then used to purchase things suitable for demon cultivators. In recent years, they had developed very well and were doing quite well in the human world.
"Actually, if the two of you don't believe me, the fastest way is to go back and search his soul. But that would ruin him, I guess the elder of the wolf clan wouldn't agree, after all, he is the only bloodline of the great demon of the wolf clan."
There's another, slower method: keep a close eye on him. Since he snuck in, he'll inevitably need to send messages or find an excuse to leave someday. When that happens, he'll surely expose himself.
Friendship ripples suggested.
We know about this, and we will report it to the elders of our tribe. They will handle it.
The Wolf King nodded.
"Two seniors, the current conflicts between humans and demons are still ongoing. It's only because in recent years there have been frequent occurrences of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures appearing in the demon realm, preventing them from being so eager to reach out to our demon clan."
Our fox clan is also seeking new ways to cooperate. If this information is relayed back to the sect, it would be as if all humans knew about it. If they followed the trail and investigated further, they might harm the younger generations of our fox clan. This is something I absolutely cannot allow!
"If you want to spare Bai Ye's life, then watch him closely. If I find that he does anything harmful to the demon clan, Bai Lianyi will make sure he suffers a worse death than imaginable. At that time, I will also demand an explanation from the Wolf Clan."
The last two sentences of the ripple were already very firm in attitude, but neither Lang Kui nor Lang Fu refuted them, nodding in agreement.
And so, Ripples drew out a jade slip from her own inner space and handed it to the Wolf Chieftain, saying:
"Wolf Clan Elder, our fox territory has limited resources, so we also exchange things with other clans. This is a list of what we have available. Please take a look and see if there's anything you need. You can come to our fox clan for an exchange."
The wolf chieftain stroked his nose. This young fox clan member was truly skilled at striking a balance between punishment and reward. It was a clever tactic, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Actually, the wolf clan had long wanted to establish a relationship with the fox clan and learn from them. They hoped to acquire some resources that their own clan lacked. So, after receiving the jade slip, the wolf chieftain bid farewell and returned to his clan.
Bai Duo didn't say a word from beginning to end, he just drank tea and acted as a backdrop. Watching his daughter handle things so skillfully, he was filled with pride. Then, he accompanied his daughter back to the fox clan.
Over the next two hundred years, Lian Ri first closed herself off to cultivate her eighth tail, becoming the head elder of the fox clan and the youngest one, giving her a certain amount of say. Then she began to vigorously develop the fox clan.
And even at night, he lived under the constant watch of the wolf clan. When he stabilized his cultivation at the third level and wanted to send back the information he had gathered over the past two hundred years to Yuntian Sect, he discovered that he had no chance to leave.
When he returned to the wolf clan, the jade slip he had used for communication had long been taken away. He could only choose to continue hiding in seclusion, but fortunately, an opportunity soon presented itself.ay the original owner's kindness. In that sense, she was quite progressive.The previous night was dreamless, and the next day the wind gradually subsided. However, it started to rain lightly. At first...
