Fox Fur Coat

Jun Xuehan tossed the Snow Cloud Fox in her hand in front of Zhu Zhuqing, then threw a Short Sword over, and said slowly, "Help me skin the Snow Cloud Fox, and remember not to damage the fur."

Zhu Zhuqing pointed to herself and said, "Let me skin the fox?"

Jun Xuehan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "If you can carry these two fox corpses back to Heaven Dou City, I have no objection."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the 1.5-meter-tall Snow Cloud Fox and the 2-meter-tall Silver Heart Fox, her eyes blinking a few times. She then picked up the Short Sword in front of her and carefully began to peel the Snow Cloud Fox's fur.

Carrying two enormous fox carcasses is definitely not as easy as carrying their pelts back.

Jun Xuehan gently inserted the tip of his spear into the Silver Heart Fox's body, feeling its hard texture, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Judging from the texture, he could tell that this was a Soul Bone that had been unearthed. However, in order not to damage the Silver Heart Fox's fur, he decided to skin it first before taking the Soul Bone.

It took the two of them about an hour to skin the two foxes. Jun Xuehan used the tip of her spear to poke the Silver Heart Fox's body, and a piece of Soul Bone flew out and landed in Jun Xuehan's hand.

"Soul... Soul Bone!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the Soul Bone.

"A nearly 20,000-year-old spiritual Skull Bone is of no use to you." Jun Xuehan put away the Soul Bone, used her Short Sword to cut off the most delicious parts of the Silver Heart Fox's flesh and blood, and put them into her Soul Tool.

The flesh and blood of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are also good stuff. Not only do they taste better than ordinary meat, but long-term consumption is also very beneficial to the body.

"Aren't you going to absorb the Soul Bone?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously as she watched Jun Xuehan put the Soul Bone away.

"It's too young, the quality is mediocre, and it doesn't fit my development direction. What's the point of absorbing it?" Jun Xuehan said with some disdain.

He didn't even want the inherited Soul Bone of the Clear Sky Sect, let alone this 20,000-year-old, mediocre Soul Bone.

Moreover, the Silver Heart Fox is a Soul Beast that excels in Mental Power and charm, which doesn't align with his development path, so there's no need for him to absorb it.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked a few times, feeling somewhat speechless. Soul Bone were very precious things, yet she actually heard disdain in Jun Xuehan's tone.

"Alright, the matter is settled. Let's go back to Heaven Dou City." Jun Xuehan took the fur from Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked straight out of the forest.

"By the way, what was that Soul Beast that attacked me? How come I didn't notice anything before I was trapped in this environment?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

Jun Xuehan glanced at her and said, "Silver Heart Fox, an endangered and rare species, has strong Mental Power and can make people fall into an illusion without them realizing it. However, it is very fragile and will not fight people head-on. Instead, it will lure people into an illusion and kill them in the illusion."

"If you had just stayed where you were and not been lured by it, nothing would have happened. You could even have killed it in a direct fight. But it's different once you enter the illusion. In the illusion, it becomes much more difficult to deal with."

When his Mental Power was struck, Jun Xuehan had already sensed the Silver Heart Fox, and the strange white mist was created by the Snow Cloud Fox.

However, since Snow Cloud Fox ran away immediately after creating the white mist, Jun Xuehan had Zhu Zhuqing stay where she was to distract the hidden Silver Heart Fox, while she went after Snow Cloud Fox.

Moreover, because the Silver Heart Fox's true form is fragile and it dares not fight humans, he felt at ease leaving Zhu Zhuqing in place and instructed her to stay put and not move.

As long as Zhu Zhuqing stays in place and is not lured into the illusion, Silver Heart Fox will not be able to personally appear and fight Zhu Zhuqing.

Although the Silver Heart Fox possesses powerful Mental Power, its physical body is as fragile as that of an ordinary fox. This situation will only change when it reaches the age of 50,000 and enters a metamorphosis period.

However, he seemed to have overestimated Zhu Zhuqing, who was actually lured into an illusion by the Silver Heart Fox, a situation Jun Xuehan had not anticipated.

"Then how did you manage to get back in time?" Zhu Zhuqing pressed.

"My Mental Power has been monitoring Silver Heart Fox. I returned as soon as you were trapped in the illusion, but I didn't act immediately," Jun Xuehan replied calmly, completely ignoring Zhu Zhuqing's tone.

"You deliberately used me as bait?" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes twitched twice, and she asked with some surprise.

"I wouldn't call it bait. I just want you to help me lure the Silver Heart Fox so it doesn't escape. It's a rare breed." Jun Xuehan smiled, clearly pleased with the Silver Heart Fox's rarity.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand so I could be prepared?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

"I warned you, but you didn't listen. No illusion is perfect. When you were lured into the illusion, didn't you find it strange at all?" Jun Xuehan said.

Zhu Zhuqing thought about the scene in the illusion at that time, and there were indeed many suspicious points, but she hadn't thought about them carefully because she was in a panic at the time.

"Using the Silver Heart Fox to hone my skills?" Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, then looked at Jun Xuehan in front of her and said very seriously, "Thank you, I understand."

Jun Xuehan didn't reply to Zhu Zhuqing's words, but instead asked what style of Fox Fur Coat should be made from these two complete pelts.

Back in Heaven Dou City, Jun Xuehan told Zhu Zhuqing to go back to her residence first, and then went to a shop to have the shopkeeper make two different styles of Fox Fur Coat from the two complete pelts.

After dealing with the Fox Fur Coat matter, Jun Xuehan bought some fresh vegetables in Heaven Dou City before returning to her residence.

Inside the mansion, Jun Xuehan checked the time, did a quick calculation, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to cultivate for two hours before using the flesh and blood of the ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Silver Heart Fox, to make a delicacy.

Two hours passed quickly. Jun Xuehan withdrew from her cultivation, took the ingredients and went into the kitchen. She skillfully started a fire and began cooking.

After serving a series of delicious dishes, Jun Xuehan lay down on the bed, waiting for Qian Renxue's return.

Just as Jun Xuehan had calculated, Qian Renxue pushed open the door to the room and walked in within about ten minutes.

Qian Renxue looked at the delicacies on the table and smelled the enticing aroma, then reached out and touched her stomach.

"You bastard, at least you have some conscience." Qian Renxue looked at Jun Xuehan lying on the bed doing nothing, a proud expression on her face, and said with a touch of arrogance.
