The moment Li Zhōujūn stepped into the town, a lively atmosphere rushed toward him.
Bai Yōuyōu followed beside Li Zhōujūn, curiously sizing up her surroundings as well.
This was her first time setting foot in the human world.
Back in her clan, she had been the daughter of the clan leader, yet she had been like a canary trapped in a cage, never having gone outside at all.
Li Zhōujūn lowered his head and glanced at the white fox. After thinking it over, he decided that he would find an opportunity to help her restore her cultivation.
There was no need to hurry about that, though. For now, he would first find the roast-chicken stall and satisfy his craving.
With that thought, Li Zhōujūn lifted his foot and walked toward the source of the roast chicken's aroma.
Bai Yōuyōu also hurried after Li Zhōujūn on her four little paws.
But suddenly, an accident occurred.
A young man dressed in splendid clothes blocked Li Zhōujūn's path.
"Is something wrong?" Li Zhōujūn asked.
As he spoke, Li Zhōujūn sized up the richly dressed young man.
He was a mortal who lived on fine food and luxurious clothing. His family background was probably quite respectable among ordinary people.
The richly dressed young man smiled. "Friend, how much for the white fox beside you?"
When Bai Yōuyōu heard that this man wanted to buy her, she immediately panicked. She pressed herself against Li Zhōujūn's trouser leg and bared her teeth at the richly dressed young man.
What a joke! She had finally managed to cling to a big shot's coattails, and this fellow wanted to buy her. Who knew what he wanted to do with her?
What if he wanted to skin her and make a fox-fur coat? Wouldn't she be completely doomed then?!
