Chapter 2362: You Two Ate All My Food
Didn’t Hong Ji already say that she was a fox?
“You meanie! I’m going to tell my grandma that you bullied me,” the red fox wailed as she pointed at Ning Shu.
“Why don’t you tell her about your prank too?” Ning Shu replied in an annoyed tone.
She had thought that Hong Ji was a powerful monster. As it turned out, she’d just been fooled!
The illusion surrounding them started to, inch by inch, peel off. The flowers behind the fences disappeared, and so did the thatched hut.
Only they, two foxes and one child, remained.
“That’s amazing!” Yi Liang looked around. “Was the food we just ate fake, too?”
“It wasn’t. I hunted it myself, and you two ate all my food,” the little fox said, clearly very upset.
Yi Liang felt a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry.”
The little fox snorted.
Ning Shu asked the little fox, “You’re still so young. How did you learn to create an illusion?”
“My grandma taught me. I can only keep it up for a couple of days, though. My grandma could keep up her illusion for decades. She’s amazing,” the little fox boasted.
“Our red fox clan is good at illusion. How about yours?’ the little fox asked Ning Shu. “What are the white foxes’ innate skills?”
Ning Shu had no idea, so she just said, “I’m strong.”
The little fox looked at Ning Shu up and down, then tutted. “You’re so pitiful. You must be someone without a clan.”
Ning Shu knew the little fox bore them no malice, so she just said, “We’re leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality.
“Oh, can you give us a flame stick, though?”
The little fox quickly asked, “Where are you going?”
“We don’t know, but we’re definitely getting out of this forest,” Yi Liang replied.
“I’ll come with you,” the little fox said suddenly.
“Nope. Absolutely not,” Ning Shu said quickly. A fox with innate skills like the little fox would wreak havoc upon the world should she go out of her natural habitat.
If she was caught and forced by her captors to use her skills, her ability to arrange illusions would be a very destructive weapon.
“Why not? Since you’ve eaten all my food, you should at least take me with you,” the little fox said, as if it was only right.
“We don’t know what people will do to you if you come with us. You’d better not go out. You’d only be captured and enslaved by humans if you went out,” Ning Shu said.
The little fox sighed like an old man. “Grandma also told me the same thing. She says that humans are all wicked.”
Ning Shu was too lazy to say anything in reply. She just said to Yi Liang, “Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Yi Liang followed behind Ning Shu and glanced back at the little fox. The little fox’s fur was crimson red, and it was extremely eye-catching in the snow.
“Can we really not take her with us?” Yi Liang asked.
Ning Shu shook her head. “Even after I disguised myself, monster traders still tried to catch me. She’d definitely be caught and we’d only have to run again.”
Yi Liang rubbed his face. “This is all because I’m so useless.”
“Everyone strong was once weak too. No one was born powerful. I believe you can become strong, too,” Ning Shu comforted Yi Liang.
“Thank you, Xiao Hei,” Yi Liang said. He ran quickly on the snowy path. He was as light as a swallow, and thus he left only shallow footprints.
Ning Shu and Yi Liang were back on their way. Ning Shu looked at what surrounded them and could only see an endless mass of white everywhere.
Ning Shu stopped. “Do you think we’ve walked past this place before? Are we going around in circles?”
It wasn’t easy to tell the direction when surrounded by snow. They’d been unable to get out of this mountain forest for so long.
“It could be another one of that little fox’s illusions.” Yi Liang thought of the fox, who knew how to cast illusions.
Ning Shu also thought it must be the fox.
