Not a Fox, Worse Than One

Wu Chu was happy to see Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi return, but also somewhat melancholy, because he knew that the two of them were probably planning to continue their journey eastward.

Last time I mentioned going to Qingqiu to witness the Illusion Technique arts of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Now that I've seen it, I'll definitely choose to continue my journey eastward.

After all, they had no reason to stay and make enemies with the Dragon Clan on behalf of Wu Chu. Although they had been friends for more than ten years, they were not at the point of risking their lives for each other.

Wu Chu didn't want to ask them to stay; it would be too selfish. Since he had already decided to wander, there was no need to let them stay and risk their lives.

Wu Chu casually recounted the words he had spoken to the old fox—his analysis of the future trends of the Three Primordial Clans —and concluded with a smile, "The secrets of heaven are unpredictable. I was just speaking off the cuff. Who can truly know what the future holds?"

Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, and Fuxi all silently watched Wu Chu was somewhat puzzled. "Was there something wrong with what I said?"

Hong Yun laughed heartily, "I knew you'd say something shocking, otherwise why would the Qingqiu Fox Clan hold you in such high regard? It's true that the secrets of heaven are hard to fathom, but at our level, we can deduce some rudimentary trends, though they are only one possibility among countless trends, and the variability within them is too great."

Fuxi nodded and said, "The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, not because they are truly impossible to fathom, but because what is predicted may not be accurate. The secrets of heaven are ever-changing, and any slight change can affect the general trend, leading to a final result that is far from what was predicted."

In terms of deducing celestial secrets, Wu Chu believed that Fuxi's abilities were superior to those of Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi. After all, the Great God Fuxi was destined to be a master who could deduce and develop the Eight Trigrams.

Zhen Yuanzi was much more direct, saying, "We deduce the secrets of heaven by expending great magical power, yet you, fellow Daoist, can foresee so far based solely on the future development trends of various forces. This insight alone is enough to amaze even the renowned Qingqiu Fox Clan."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't flatter me. I was just saying it casually; don't take it seriously..."

Hong Yun shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily true that we can't take it seriously. Although the Primordial World is vast and boundless, when the Three Clans develop to a certain extent, they will inevitably have some interaction... In fact, not to mention what will happen in the future, the Three Clans have already extended goodwill to the Qingqiu Fox Clan. No matter which side the Qingqiu Fox Clan chooses, it will offend the other two."

Wu Chu nodded and said, "That's why I told the old fox Qingqiu Chen that the Qingqiu Fox Clan could be divided into three, with each family sending some members over. That way, we can get through this current crisis."

Fuxi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are as cunning as a fox!"

Hong Yun nodded and said, "Not like a fox, but even more so!"

He laughed as soon as he finished speaking.

Instead, Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "This method is brilliant! Dividing the clan into three ensures that none of the three clans are offended, and allows the clan to develop separately in the Three Clans territories. In this way, it can indeed prevent the clan from being wiped out one day. I finally understand why the Qingqiu Fox Ancestor praised you so much. You have solved a great problem for the Qingqiu Fox Clan!"

The three nodded in agreement, but didn't find it too strange.

After all, if Wu Chu wasn't so extraordinary, how could they possibly treat him as an equal, given Wu Chu cultivation level?

Of course, Fuxi had one more reason than Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.

Because Fuxi knew that Wu Chu possessed the ultimate form of the Heavenly Dao Evolution Dharma Form.

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi mention again the Qingqiu Fox Ancestor's high regard for him, Wu Chu understood that he couldn't get rid of that Little Fox. If he drove the Little Fox out of Purple Jade Mountain, not to mention whether he would offend the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the Little Fox might even die outside.

Since we already have Little Deer Cub and Fat Dog, what's one more Little Fox?

However, Wu Chu was furious when he talked about the two guys who stole the wine and caused trouble. They had ruined the Dragon Bone Wine that he had worked so hard to brew.

At Wu Chu's earnest request, Fuxi sealed the Little Deer Cub to prevent its magical power from leaking out and causing flooding on Purple Jade Mountain.

As for Fat Dog A Qiu, Wu Chu threw him off the Summit of the Sacred Tree and made him circle around the lake, not to come back until he had circled it a hundred or two hundred times.

This time, he was determined to be ruthless and make the Fat Dog lose some weight.

The Fat Dog howled and dragged its obese body, running unsteadily along the lakeside, as if to say: Why doesn't the Little Deer Cub get punished?

In the evening, the Little Chef Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox who had become a maid served everyone their carefully prepared spirit wine fried dragon ribs and fragrant Jiao Rice.

The Jiao Rice were brought from Qingqiu by the Little Fox. In addition to Jiao Rice, the Little Fox also brought some other specialties of Qingqiu, such as Zizania Latifolia, water caltrops, and water chestnuts.

As the first group to be influenced by the Cooking Dao of Wu Chu, the Qingqiu Fox Clan now feels a greater sense of superiority than other groups.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan originally possessed an inherent nobility and elegance, and coupled with this sense of superiority, their demeanor was simply indescribable.

A vixen, after all! This kind of posture is the easiest to make people unable to resist.

So, in return, the Little Fox Qingqiu Yu brought a lot of Qingqiu specialties from Great Wilderness Marsh when she came over. These specialties could be planted along the shore of the lake.

Fortunately, Qingqiu Yu, who came to Purple Jade Mountain, still appears to be a young Little Fox, otherwise Wu Chu wouldn't be able to guarantee that he wouldn't be charmed by her.

After all, as a virile and vigorous man of Earth, how could one not have some integrity? Moreover, most men actually have little resistance to charming and mature vixens; otherwise, their wives wouldn't need to go out every day to catch vixens.

Drinking spirit wine, eating Dragon Meat, and other fruits and snacks, everyone's enthusiasm gradually rose. Before long, Fuxi's desire to show off his skills on the zither arose, and he casually pulled out his personal zither and began to play in front of everyone. The zither music accompanied the wine, making the wine even more intoxicating.

Seeing this, Wu Chu took out a new flute and began to play casually. Although he didn't know how to respond, Fuxi understood!

As the wine flowed freely, Hong Yun sang while playing the zither and flute, and Zhen Yuanzi joined in by striking a clay pot. The four of them could simply be described as unrestrained and dissolute.

The Little Fox danced upon hearing the song, its graceful movements making Little Moon Spirit somewhat ashamed to be seen.

Although the Little Fox was still quite young, her graceful dance already possessed an elegant and mature charm. This reminded Little Moon Spirit of the days when she and Wu Chu used to dance awkwardly to music together.

Little Moon Spirit suddenly felt a sense of crisis, worried that this Little Fox would definitely win over A Chu's heart. What should she do?!
