Chapter 150: Little Fox is Back Again

For the following period of time, everything was outside of expectation for Qian Kun and the rest. The Mt. Black Clouds was horrifyingly peaceful. Jiang Yi would carry out his hunt for twice a day and peacefully cultivate at night. For a whole month, no other horrific demonic beasts like the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox appeared. The overwhelming presence that made everyone fainted didn’t appear as well.

What made Qian Kun and the rest felt more secure was that Jiang Yi did encounter a few tier-two peak-grade demonic beasts and was in danger, too. In the past, it was always Liu Lao who stepped in to help slay the beasts; but these few times, it was Jiang Yi who easily neutralized it. The methods used to neutralize was what made Qian Kun flabbergasted!

The first time was when Jiang Yi encountered a formidable Arrow Dragon. Even though the Arrow Dragon was being suppressed by Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent—sensing the fatal danger, the dragon immediately released its demonic art which was a sharp spike that was shot out from the back. How brutal was the demonic art from a tier-two demonic beast again? The speed at which the spike flew was startling, and it was about to penetrate Jiang Yi’s body.

Jiang Yi’s body suddenly released a burst of flames, and these flames gave off the feeling to Qian Kun and his group. It was the same flames that were released by the Flaming Bird’s demonic art. The flames effortlessly incinerated the spike, giving Jiang Yi an easy time to slay the Arrow Dragon which was weak after releasing the demonic art.

The second time was even more dangerous. Jiang Yi had to face two tier-two peak-grade demonic beasts at the same time. Qian Kun and his group thought they could only wait for death… when two Fire Spirit Rocks suddenly appeared beside Jiang Yi. When everyone was still puzzled about what was going on, the duo of tier-two demonic beasts and several dozens of demonic beasts were all scorched to death!

When Qian Kun and the others recalled about the instant when the two red rocks appeared, they still had this lingering fear of the horrifyingly high temperature. However, everyone didn’t dare to negligently spread this news and merely reported it to Qian Wanguan.

Soon enough, Qian Wanguan sent his orders to forbid anyone from revealing anything regarding Jiang Yi—not even to the members of the Qian Clan; otherwise, they would all face death. Qian Wanguan knew that Jiang Yi had some hidden trump, which was why he wasn’t worried to let Jiang Yi be left behind. If he was able to destroy Jiang Bieli’s Man-Ruler Seal, how could Jiang Yi not have any life-saving abilities?

Two months later, Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang came to visit but were pressured by their clans and couldn’t stay for long. They merely informed Jiang Yi to be extra careful.

After the bitter cultivation for this period of time and with the assistance from Qian Wanguan’s Earth Dragon Elixirs, Jiang Yi was able to successfully break through to the eighth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm a month ago. His astounding cultivation speed was causing Qian Kun and the rest to silently admire him.

…

On this day, Jiang Yi followed the routine and killed a bunch of demonic beasts. Qian Kun made the final touch by knocking him out and bringing him back to the stone cave. When he woke up, he was surprised to see this beautiful figure.

He sat up and looked at Su Ruoxue with a dumbfounded expression, “Mentor Su, why are you here? Don’t you need to lead a group?”

“Lead what group?”

Su Ruoxue sent a stare at Jiang Yi and replied while seething, “You have cut off and slain all the demonic beasts here. There haven’t been any demonic beasts around the college. Principal Qi asked me to come and ask you how much longer you are going to hunt. If you carry on like this, none of the cadets would have any food to eat anymore.”

There were plenty of young masters and ladies in the Mt. Spirit Beast College, and all of them were eager to raise their strength. They would always spend a massive amount of purple gold in the Southern Courtyard’s facilities to cultivate. The college’s main income was coming from them, and the measly purple gold that they exchanged for the hunted demonic beasts materials wasn’t much either. Jiang Yi clearly knew this and knew that Su Ruoxue was playing a joke on him. He smirked and said, “Not much longer. Another three or five years!”

“Bang!”

Su Ruoxue reached out her hand and knocked on Jiang Yi’s head. She then yelled out infuriatingly, “Another half a year! If you continue after another half a year, Principal Qi would definitely step in and bring you back to lock up.”

“Half a year?”

Jiang Yi made some calculation and nodded. “I have made about five to six million purple gold. In another half a year, I should be able to make another seven or eight million purple gold. Then I will have enough to buy the Tri-Petal Septuple Leaves and Thousand-year-old Wolfberry Ginseng. The rest of the money will be enough for me to cultivate for a few years.”

“That much? Aren’t you just out here for three months?” Su Ruoxue was shocked, and her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.

“Hehe!”

Jiang Yi let out a prideful laugh and replied, “Can’t you see how efficient this Big Brother is? I can slay about 200 demonic beasts in a day, and a third of them are of tier-two. Try and calculate how much purple gold is that?”

“Big Brother?”

Su Ruoxue glared with her almond-shaped eyes and gave Jiang Yi the stiff eyes before speaking with fury, “How old are you? Addressing yourself as Big Brother in front of me?”

“Hehe!”

Jiang Yi rubbed his chin and laughed. “Su Ruoxue, you are getting younger; and I am getting older. If you don’t believe it—have Qian Kun and the others take a look! Don’t I look like your Big Brother?”

“Huh…”

After being teased by Jiang Yi, Su Ruoxue strangely didn’t get angry but was instead staring blankly at Jiang Yi.

After these few months of staying outdoors, Jiang Yi did look more mature now. He was much taller now, too—more than half a head taller than her. His originally childish nature had vanished and was replaced with a matured, firm, and confident man. Especially his bright and energetic eyes which gave out a wild and unruly feeling. The frail and childish young boy in her heart had turned completely into a charming young man.

“What are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face? Or have this Young Master become even more dashing?”

Jiang Yi saw the blank stare from Su Ruoxue, causing the edges of his mouth to curve up. His healthy and luster skin coupled with that smile made him even more manly.

“Bah!”

Su Ruoxue let out a spit while there was a blush on her charming face. It soon returned to normal as she spoke indifferently, “There is another thing. In a few more months, the Kingdom War is about to begin. I heard that the rewards are generous. Do you want to participate? If you want to, I will help you register.”

“Kingdom War?”

Jiang Yi’s thick brows frowned and looked rather curious, but he quickly rejected with a wave, “Not going, not going! I am busy making money, cultivating, and looking for the Soul-Subduing Herb. I don’t have any other time for other things.”

“En!”

Su Ruoxue nodded as she had expected the answer. She then knitted her brows and asked, “Soul-Subduing Herb! Qian Wanguan and the others have yet to scout it out?”

“None!”

Jiang Yi’s expression went dark as he sighed indistinctly. “There are only dozens of it through the continent’s history. Qian Wanguan already asked someone to scout for three months, and there still isn’t any information of it.”

“Sigh, I shall leave now. Take care!”

Su Ruoxue looked deeply at Jiang Yi before walking out of the room and leaping of the stone cliff. She soon vanished into the woods.

“Bang!”

Right at this moment, a signal flare burst in the direction where Su Ruoxue ran off to. Qian Kun gave a grave expression and exclaimed, “Not good! Young Master Yi, Qian Li sent out a signal saying that the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox is back again!”

“What? Does this little fox truly want to court death? Hurhur, if you provoke this Young Master, I will forcefully tame you!” Jiang Yi’s pupil shrunk, and his expression had this smear of anger.

He previously let the little fox go, and it dared to appear again? With his Fire Spirit Pearl, he had no fear for the fox’s demonic art, but Su Ruoxue and the Qian Clan’s scout didn’t have the Fire Spirit Pearl. He frantically stomped on the ground and flew towards the ground. He rolled to neutralize the falling momentum and bounced back up before chasing after Su Ruoxue.
