Chapter 176 - 176 The Twins Can Do Whatever They Want
The state of the spiritual energy seal was due to the Nine Cauldrons. Everyone here was the same, with no exceptions.
Their biggest advantage now was that they had the body of a demon like Chuichui, which was much stronger than Immortal cultivators. Even if they fought with their instincts, they were more powerful than most Immortal cultivators who used spells. They were naturally equivalent to powerful ancient martial art practitioners.
Su Bi and Su Zhuang’s titles were different.
One was the ‘Green Hill Fox Head’, while the other was the ‘Mud Mountain Overlord’.
This was not the same concept, and Green Hill and Mud Mountain were not from the same faction. Although in the current timeline, the two little foxes were still in Mud Mountain, located to the west of Central Plains, near the Fusang sea.
On the map of Shangyang, the closer it was to the center, the more peaceful and prosperous it was. Life was stable and rich.
The Immortal sects of the Righteous Path were concentrated here.
The further east they went, the more chaotic it became because it was close to the Sea of No Return, Yonghui Sea, and other territories where the devil race was sealed. The conditions were harsh, but there were many opportunities. Many evil and neutral sects occupied it, and it became more chaotic.
The further west they went, the closer they were to the territories of various demon tribes. In the mountain ranges of the Central Plains, such as the Jiuyuan mountain range, there were only a few demon tribes hiding in large mountain ranges.
After all, many Orthodox sects still retained the tradition of hating the demon race, thinking that ‘Those who are not of our race must have a different heart’. There were even extreme sects whose goal was to kill the demon race, which was very unfriendly. In the east of the Central Plains, there were even markets selling demon slaves, which basically equated the demon race to livestock.
In the entire Central Plains, only a small half of the sects had already accepted the demon race, and the remaining ones had a dispensable attitude. Subconsciously, they still had some coldness and hostility.
Mud Mountain was one of the very few monster race members that had been accepted by human cultivators, and it was the friendly, even respectful kind.
The two little foxes should have been cultivating on Mud Mountain, and they had probably come here because of him.
The two little foxes in Liu Yuan’s arms, who looked soft and cute now, would become two important protagonists in the future.
The plot involved was in the original game. In the current version, there was a relatively large demon race plot line, and it was a small section, ‘The Fox Dies on the Top Hill’.
Within the demon race, large-scale conflicts between humans and demons broke out, even to the point of war.
Mud Mountain’s fox race was only a small part of this.
After that part of the story, Mud Mountain split into two factions. The two little foxes grew up with different ideals, and the twin sisters who had been close as children fell out, never seeing each other again.
The time given by the game was quite generous. It had been during the time in Mud Mountain. If it had been later, Su Bi would have been fine, as she was on the side that was close to humans, but Su Zhuang’s favorability towards humans would have dropped to -40. As long as it was a human, it would be impossible to conquer her. Moreover, in the later stages, the people of Mud Mountain would have hidden themselves within the Mud Mountain Secret Realm, and players would not have been able to find her.
And the split of Mud Mountain was only a small part of the upheaval that the demi-human race had experienced. The entire demi-human race had been split into two factions, which had later provided a path for the demons to quickly invade.
“How did you two get here?” Liu Yuan patted the heads of the two little ones in his arms, collected his thoughts, and asked with a smile.
The conflict between the demon race and the human race was such a big plot where people were plunged into misery and suffering. He wanted to change it, but he did not have the strength to do so now. However, there was still a long time before the real outbreak, so there was no need to be so anxious. Moreover, he could change some of the nodes, but he could not change the whole plot.
That was a conflict that had accumulated for hundreds and thousands of years, and it could not be resolved overnight.
Su Bi puffed up her cheeks and said, “We came out to look for you, but mother told us to go to the Green Centipede to train for a while. But she doesn’t know that we’ve already secretly taken the clan’s sacred artifact to look for you. Look.”
She took out a pendant from her neck. It was not made of jade or stone, but it was as bright as the moon. It looked like a bell, and she showed it to Liu Yuan as if she was presenting a treasure.
Liu Yuan’s pupils shrank. He reached out and touched the bell. It was bone-chilling to the touch, causing him to shiver and withdraw his hand. However, he could vaguely hear a clear and light ring.
It was the Nether Moon Bell, the fox clan’s sacred artifact. There was not much information about it, but it was said to be the same thing as the sacred cup. Simply put, this was a wishing machine used by the fox clan.
Only the true bloodline of Mud Mountain could use it, or else it would just be a decoration.
“I remember that this thing can only be used three times, right?” Liu Yuan reached out and stuffed the pendant back into Su Bi’s hand. The back of his hand brushed against the little fox’s soft and tender skin, causing her face to turn red and she moaned.
Su Bi had been crying like a pear blossom bathed in the rain just now. Now, in the eyes of outsiders, it looked like Liu Yuan was a beast who was forcefully touching a little loli.
Although there was no one else looking, Liu Yuan still felt a little guilty. He pulled his hand out of his warm clothes and said with a headache, “You guys used up a chance just to find me?”
He could not say that he wasn’t touched, but…
No matter what happened to them, they were still fox cubs.
If it was someone else, they would have been completely deceived.
Liu Yuan sighed and heard Su Zhuang say with a smile, “No, it’s just that the Orthodox lineage of Mud Mountain can only use it three times in each generation. In the past, there was only one successor, but in this generation, it’s me and Su Bi, so it’s actually six times. The other three times are an extra.
“…”
Do twins get to do whatever they want?
The answer is yes.
Liu Yuan facepalmed. How could he have forgotten about this? But he still said seriously, “The extra three times should be cherished even more. No one knows how many times a person will regret in his life. Because you easily got extra opportunities to squander them, when it’s too late to regret, you’ll be brooding over it for the rest of your life.”
Su Zhuang was stunned, and then obediently responded with an ‘Oh’.
Su Bi was still mumbling that she had already done her best to find the big bad guy when Liu Yuan reached out and ruffled her hair.
As for the clan, the two little foxes said that their mother had already used up three chances, and it was useless... If something happened, the two of them could just use the artifact to return immediately.
What else could Liu Yuan say? He could only say that the twins were indeed awesome.
He let go of the two little foxes and introduced them to Zhiying, Chuichui, Hong Luan, and Zhizhi. As Chuichui, Hong Luan, and Zhizhi were not humans, and Zhizhi was the adopted daughter of the spirit of the mountains and seas, as well as Hu Jiuniang, the two little foxes were very friendly. It seemed that they would become friends soon.
However, for some reason, Zhiying looked very unhappy. She stared at the two little foxes for a long time, causing the two little foxes to shiver and hide behind Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan had some speculations in his heart, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhiying suddenly unsheathe its sword and turn around, looking at the dozen people running over from the jungle with an unfriendly look.
