Chapter 14: The Perfect Heavenly Fox, Spiritual Pressure on the Path

  This is an unprecedented battle!

  The object of the battle is not any monster or human, but the heavens and earth.

  Under the threat of life and death, Tian Hu and Chu Yun worked together, their sense of trust growing rapidly from nothing. In a short period of time, Tian Hu developed an extreme sense of trust and intimacy towards Chu Yun!

  This is an unexpected surprise.

  Chu Yun could feel it, a strong sense of dependence coming from the other end of Tian Hu. He was extremely relieved that Tian Hu had finally been perfectly incubated by him. In this life, they would once again work together in perfect harmony, creating miracles and glory.

  "Old buddy!" He crouched down and opened his arms wide.

  It was as if a scene from his past life was replaying itself. The heavenly fox let out a joyful cry and sprinted towards him.

  It has a snow-white fur, without any impurities. Walking among the rocks, like flying snow drifting away. The beautiful fox tail flies and swings, its four paws seemingly not touching the ground, as if riding the wind.

  She buried her head in Chu Yun's bosom, and the force of the sudden rush made Chu Yun's chest heave, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.

  Tian Hu suddenly let out a sob, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

  Chu Yun couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, with tears welling up in his eyes. He had experienced this before in his past life. However, later on, Tian Hu learned to be considerate of him and would dissipate the force each time they ***, believing that this life would also bring about such a change.

  The loud laughter stopped abruptly, and Chu Yun took in another mouthful of cold air.

  Tongue is in severe pain!

  He bit his tongue and made a blood sacrifice. After another hour of loud shouting, he suddenly felt the piercing pain on the wound of his tongue as soon as he left the state of being possessed by the spirit.

  Biting back tears, I endured.

  Chu Yun hugged Tian Hu, stroking the extremely fine fur, and re-entered the mountain cave. After a hard battle, Tian Hu was extremely hungry. As soon as he saw the eggshells on the ground, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he immediately wanted to rush out.

  Chu Yun immediately seized it and did not let it get away.

  The heavenly fox in his arms looked up at its master and let out a whimper. The soft, gentle voice increased the listener's sympathy.

  Chu Yun was firm in her attitude, because the process of incubating eggs had not yet ended.

  The eighth step - open stomach.

  This is an icing on the cake.

  The newborn fox can't eat anything too hard to protect its new stomach. So it needs to be opened up.

  As for something to open up one's appetite, it was that bag of fresh coconut milk.

  Under Tian Hu's resentful gaze, Chu Yun gathered all the eggshells on the ground into her arms. At the same time, she took out that bag of coconut milk.

  The celestial fox suddenly moved with a sniff, approached Chu Yun's side, and slowly wagged its large tail behind it. Its eyes were shining brightly, gazing up at Chu Yun at a 45-degree angle.

  Chu Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, this heavenly fox really had the same personality as in her past life - gluttonous!

  He carefully pinched the mouth of the pouch and slowly poured out a line of pure white fragrant coconut milk.

  The heavenly fox suddenly tossed the eggshell behind her head, flew pouncing over, opened her mouth, stretched out her bright red tongue, and accurately caught the coconut milk.

  Chu Yun, however, had only poured for a short while before putting away the water scoop.

  The celestial fox stuck out its tongue and licked the corners of its mouth clean, with an air of lingering regret. Then it raised its head and gazed up at its master with a pure expression.

  What's called "opening the stomach" can't be drunk too much. Chu Yun hardened her heart, disregarding Tian Hu's pitiful appearance, and resolutely put away the water bottle. This was also for its own good.

  If it really causes a burden on the stomach, then it's not worth it.

  Half a day later, Chu Yun proceeded with the ninth step - feeding.

  The natural food is the eggshell of Tian Hu, which contains rich nutrients and energy. It is the best food for newborn demon beasts.

  This step seems simple, but it is actually very significant. This is the last step of hatching, marking the successful hatching of the monster beast, able to eat on its own, and successfully taking the first step in survival.

  The Celestial Fox had no problem at all. It was just chewing on an eggshell with its mouth, but its eyes were fixed on the water bottle at Chu Yun's waist. Apparently, it was still savoring the wonderful taste of fresh coconut milk.

  Watching it finish eating the eggshell in its mouth, Chu Yun's heart finally felt a huge weight lift off.

  Purification, washing the egg, selecting a site, building a nest, blood sacrifice, spiritual invocation, breaking the shell and laying the foundation, opening the stomach, feeding. The nine major steps of hatching eggs have finally been passed one by one.

  The snow sand and pearl tears brought originally have all been consumed. The 992 pieces of Di Sha stone coins obtained by killing enemies are also left with only a pitiful 6 pieces.

  The process was even more twists and turns, and a demon calamity actually occurred. Chu Yun had to go through the edge of success and failure several times. However, in the end, he succeeded.

  After going through hardships, Chu Yun finally wiped out a major regret. From now on, a perfect and talented heavenly fox will become his most important and strongest helper!

  "A new life truly begins from this step!" After resting for half a day, Chu Yun clenched his fists tightly and led Tian Huo to leave the nameless volcano.

  Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

  The tide rises and falls, the sea gently greets the beach. The moist and refreshing sea breeze blows across my face. The eastern sky's dawn glow is like a fiery blaze, reflected on the sea surface, as the waves undulate, similarly like flames dancing.

  Along the coast, on a colorful and vibrant shell road, a luxurious carriage with a silver base and golden lines was driving leisurely.

  The red silk curtain was lifted, and Madame Shu gazed out at the picturesque coastline, where sea and fire seemed to dance together, enjoying the refreshing air that rushed towards her.

  It had been thirty-eight years since she married into the Shu family on this island, and never once had her mood been so joyful and relaxed.

  It is often said that the rainbow in the east and the rain in the west, the men of the Shu family and the women of the Ning family. The men of Shujia Island are famous for their strength and bravery. The women of Ningjia Island are renowned for their beauty and charm.

  In the past, Mrs. Shu was married from the Ning family to the Shu family island and became Mrs. Shu Tianhao. It temporarily became a beautiful story. But who would have thought of the bitterness and hardship in it?

  In those days, Mrs. Shu also had a heartthrob, but it was not the "coarse and unrefined" Shu Tianhao. However, due to family orders, Mrs. Shu had no choice but to comply.

  "After thirty-eight years, I've finally made it through the tough times. As long as my child can take over and become the successor, I'll have fulfilled my family's legacy."

  Looking out at the surging and undulating vast ocean, Madame Shu's heart was overflowing with emotion.

  Thirty-eight years old.

  Day and night, I have been waiting for the day when I can finally make a name for myself!

  His two children were truly impressive. Not only did they both have the talent of a demon-slaying master, but their first demon beasts were also exceptionally talented potential seeds. With time, what was there to worry about in terms of achieving their goals?

  As long as we can get our hands on the inheritance of Shu Family Island, I believe that in the near future, Ning Family Island will add another subordinate island.

  "Shu Tianhao was the first son of the Shu family, with extraordinary bravery and no one could rival his prestige. However, who says expansion must necessarily involve war?" Madame Shu thought to this point, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She had always been loyal only to her own family, never faithful to her husband.

  "My dear children, you must do your best in this first assessment and not be careless. As long as you show your true abilities, the first and second places will definitely be yours." Mrs. Shu put down the curtains and turned around to look at Shu Da and Shu Er sitting beside her, with warmth in her eyes.

  Shu Da patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, mom! First prize is a small dish of vegetables."

  Shu Er smiled cleverly and said, "That little thief Chu Yun looks intelligent but is actually extremely foolish. Mother, with me around, aren't you at ease?"

  "Good, good, you two are both my good children." Madame Shu felt relieved in her heart, thinking that at this moment in life, she was so happy, and it could be said that the bitter had turned to sweet.

  On the first day, they received a You Beast Egg. On the second day, the youngsters incubated their eggs. On the third day at dawn, it was the first assessment of the Coming-of-Age ceremony.

  Shu Da and Shu Er each led their own demon beasts, returning to the Earth Altar when Chu Yun was already waiting on the side.

  Shu Dai saw Chu Yun and immediately glared at him with a mocking expression, saying: "Youngster, you came early, but that doesn't represent your ranking. If you want to take first place, you'll still need to rely on your strength!"

  As he spoke, he patted the head of the giant crocodile behind him.

  The giant crocodile has a massive body, standing upright and reaching the shoulders of an adult. When patted by its owner, it suddenly opens its big mouth, revealing sharp teeth like saw blades, and lets out a low growl.

  "Hahaha......" Shu's demeanor was overbearing, looking up at the sky and laughing loudly.

  Chu Yun smiled slightly, calm and composed from start to finish. The heavenly fox crouched at his feet, its eyes narrowed, its fur like silk or snow, seemingly asleep but not quite. One man and one fox, they didn't put the sea-explosive alligator in their sights at all.

  "You!" Shu's laughter stopped abruptly, his anger burning. Chu Yun's smile was so detestable that it made him grit his teeth in hatred.

  A chilly gaze swept across, but shifted to the Tian Huo by Chu Yun's feet, eyes narrowing: "Huh? Your Fire Fox is a bit strange, why is it all white?"

  Foxes are naturally fiery red. However, the demon beast under Chu Yun's feet was as white as snow, exceptionally handsome and majestic, astonishing to behold.

  Chu Yun naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal the true grade of Tian Hu, so he immediately raised an eyebrow and looked at him with disdain: "Haven't you heard of variant demonic beasts?"

  Mutant Beast?

  Shu Dai also noticed the unusual "Fire Fox". Upon hearing this word, his expression was stunned - he really hadn't heard of it.

  Variations, relative to the norm. In humans, there are similar phenomena such as a sixth finger growing on the palm of one's hand, or being born with exceptional eyesight, smell, hearing and other senses, or even having a body covered in hair.

  Among the demon beasts, there are also natural ones. Generally speaking, variant demon beasts have some special talents compared to normal demon beasts, but they don't live long. Their cultivation is difficult to upgrade and they have innate defects.

  "So that's how it is, no wonder you're so arrogant! Mutated demon beast, how dare you challenge my 8-year cultivation of Green Tooth Snake? Looking for death! Hmph...” Chu Er sneered, understanding the source of Chu Yun's confidence. A cold glint flashed in his eyes and disappeared. He didn't say anything else, wanting to see Chu Yun's extremely disappointed expression after testing him, that would be satisfying.

  "Alright, the assessment is starting. Everyone follow me." The Earth Altar's Royal Demon Master led the way forward.

  The deeper into the arena, the more oppressive the atmosphere. Despite the surrounding lights being bright and clear, it makes people feel like they can't breathe smoothly.

  After a moment, the Earth Altar's Honored Master of Demons stopped in his tracks. His face was solemn and stern as he said, "We've arrived. This is the Spirit Pressure Road. I command you to order your respective demonic beasts to go fetch the jade slips from the end of the road. The less time it takes according to the hourglass, the higher your score will be. Begin!"
