"Is that it?"
Gu Cheng sat up in bed, his face dark. He was deeply dissatisfied with what he'd gotten from the Soul Remnant.
That damn fox was a real piece of work.
The tricks for seducing married women were useless, plain and simple.
With a face like his, why would he need to seduce anyone? He'd be doing well just to resist being seduced!
The Fox Demon clan's formations and secret arts sounded promising, but in the end, he couldn't learn them at all.

Gu Cheng sighed ruefully and began carefully sorting through the information he'd gained from the fox demon's remnant soul.

Gu Cheng suddenly understood.

The locals were mostly ignorant.
