Listening to the Fox Ancestress Brag During Cultivation Breaks

Using the power of the Mountain Protection Formation, Wu Chu, along with the Fox Ancestress Qingqiu Li, returned to the Summit of the Sacred Tree in the blink of an eye. Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their safe return.

Although they knew that Wu Chu had already brought the elder's clone into his body, and with the Fox Ancestress also present, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But until we see them safely return, we can't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts.

"Brother A Chu, are you alright?" Little Moon Spirit asked.

Wu Chu waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, everyone don't need to worry. We'll continue singing, dancing, and playing music. Let's keep having fun..."

As he spoke, he returned to the Main Hall and respectfully placed the ancestor's Puppet on the altar, bowing again and making sure to be as courteous as possible.

Although it's just a Puppet, who knows if that ancestor is secretly watching!

At this moment, the Fox Ancestress Qingqiu Li regained her true form and walked in. She also bowed to the Puppet like Wu Chu had, and then asked, "Is this the clone of that senior?"

"Yes, you could say that!" Wu Chu nodded and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Qingqiu Li followed her out again, "Could you tell me about that senior?"

Wu Chu glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "I'm very sorry! I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, fellow Daoist."

Some people might say that, like Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, as long as it doesn't involve their fundamental nature, it's okay to talk about some trivial matters.

But Wu Chu dared not speak carelessly about Ancestor Hongjun. Not to mention that the Patriarch had a Puppet clone here, and that Patriarch was so powerful, who knew if he would sense it!

If the patriarch doesn't like people talking too much, then you might accidentally offend someone.

Although this fox is incredibly charming, principles still need to be upheld. To let one's values be dictated by physical appearance is already quite shameless; if one abandons all principles altogether...

The Fox Ancestress shook his head and sighed softly, "It is my bad luck, I don't blame you, fellow Daoist. If I had come to visit you sooner, I wouldn't have missed that senior."

Because of this, Qingqiu Li had regretted it more than once in her heart.

Wu Chu comforted him, saying, "The word 'fate' is indeed difficult to define. Fellow Daoist, there's no need to overthink it. Given the current situation of the Qingqiu Clan, as long as you don't easily get involved, there shouldn't be any major problems. The real fear is that in the future, you might not be able to bear seeing the younger generation of your clan suffer and resolutely join in."

Just think about the fate of the immortals of the Investiture of the Gods when Interception Sect the title of gods, and you'll understand that some things can't be easily avoided just because you don't want to participate.

Therefore, people call it a 'calamity'; when calamity comes, there is no escaping it.

Perhaps the Fox Ancestress says he doesn't care about the lives of his clan members now, but if things really come to that point in the future, he might not be able to bear seeing his juniors die tragically and might take action. That's certainly a possibility.

Wu Chu's words caused the Fox Ancestress. She wondered, if she saw her fox offspring being easily slaughtered by other powerful figures, could she really stand idly by?

Arriving under the grape trellis, Wu Chu sat down by the pond and discovered that the little Rainbow Snail lying on the pond's edge under the grape trellis were actually trembling and curling up slightly.

Wu Chu chuckled, reached out and touched its shell, saying, "Little Rainbow Snail, don't be afraid... Sigh! So many years have passed, why are you still so timid?"

"I, I'm not a coward! I, I'm excited! Yes, excited... Waaaaah..."

Hearing Little Rainbow Snail's reply, the Fox Ancestress snapped out of his reverie and laughed, "What a little cutie!"

Being stroked by the Fox Ancestress of the Daluo Realm with her jade fingers—this was something Little Rainbow Snail could brag about for a year—yet she was still trembling and unable to even speak properly.

"I have remembered what you said, fellow Daoist! When I return this time, I will go into seclusion for a long period of time, no longer concerning myself with worldly affairs, and at the same time severing all ties with the three branch clans that have separated."

"Even if you break a bone, the tendons are still connected; it's not as easy as just snapping it!"

Wu Chu shook his head and sighed softly, while the Fox Ancestress remained silent, stunned.

After a long pause, Wu Chu changed the subject, saying, "The matter hasn't happened yet, so there's no point in thinking about it now. Why not take advantage of this beautiful spring weather and enjoy the scenery? Look at the flowers blooming all over the mountains, their fragrance spreading for miles. It's such a wonderful time, how can we let it go to waste?"

With his hands behind his back, Wu Chu strode through the air and floated towards the Flower Mountain behind the Sacred Tree.

Seeing this, Qingqiu Li came to her senses and also walked into the air, her black hair and ribbons dancing in the wind, filling the air with fragrance.

"With your wisdom, fellow Daoist, since you have such a clear and thorough understanding of the situation, why not choose one to join? In this way, the threat of that Demon Lord should be easily resolved!"

Upon hearing Fox Ancestress's words, Wu Chu almost burst out laughing. Although he managed to hold it in, a half-uttered "heh" still escaped his lips.

"What? Am I wrong?" Qingqiu Li was still a little unconvinced.

"Yes and no! It's half and half!" Wu Chu shook his head. "Actually, I'm not as smart as you think. The reason I have those judgments about the situation is mostly because I'm an outsider. If I were in the game, I might not be able to see things clearly. As the saying goes, the bystander sees more of the game than the player. Once you're in the game, many things may be beyond your control."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Moreover, with that senior's avatar here, that Demon Lord is no longer as much of a threat to me as it used to be."

Although the Three Clans were strong, that Demon Lord was no pushover either. If he were so easy to deal with, the Three Clans wouldn't have been so easily manipulated and ultimately withered away in such a miserable state.

However, that would only be if the Three Clans were unaware of the Demon Ancestor's existence. What if Three Clans were made aware of the Demon Ancestor's existence and learned that hunting Demon Ancestor Clone would bring Merit rewards?

Wu Chu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the scene of the Demon Ancestor's Demon Sect being hunted down by the Three Clans.

Hearing Wu Chu say this, Qingqiu Li seemed unable to find a rebuttal. After a long while, Wu Chu continued, "And the most important point is that my cultivation level is too low."

"..."

Qingqiu Li was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist's cultivation level is indeed very deceptive! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it."

Wu Chu smiled and then dropped the subject.

In the days that followed, he cultivated, refined Spirit Treasure, and comprehended array formations and restrictions... Occasionally, he would accompany the Fox Ancestress to admire flowers, listen to music, and then listen to Fox Ancestress boast about some of her bragging rights from her youth.

With the Fox Ancestress's approval, Wu Chu compiled her stories into a book.

Wu Chu never expected that he would actually achieve the feat of 'studying late into the night with a beautiful woman by his side' here; just thinking about it is quite exhilarating.

"Why are there no male protagonists in these stories?" As he wrote, Wu Chu realized he might be writing a female-oriented novel, because these stories didn't have male leads. So he asked, "Why didn't you mention Fellow Daoist Seventeen's father in these stories? Shouldn't that be a touching and perfect love story?"

"..."

The Fox Ancestress blinked her beautiful eyes, and after a long while, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
