Chapter 63: Three Questions

  I'm speechless, my ninth uncle once told me that the Qimen technique in "Sanqing Book" is the most difficult to understand, and even those who are proficient in this way in history are rare. But today I happened to meet such a big brother, I really can't see where he's smart, but instead feel that he's quite lacking in brains, and can't even hear out these three simple words.

  But fortunately, he didn't hear it, or else I would be very embarrassed. So I hastily told him: "I really didn't deceive you, the 'Shi Ni Die' I mentioned earlier is just my nickname, and my name is Cui Zuofei. Yi Ge, let's talk about the main topic, you said it wasn't far away earlier, why haven't we arrived yet...

  Yi Xinxing suddenly covered my mouth, and at the same time turned off the small blue flashlight in his hand. Seeing him like this, I already had a number in mind, and I was probably close to the location of that night fox. I immediately tensed up again, turning off the flashlight on my hand as well, and without any light, we were plunged into darkness once more.

  He whispered to me, "Younger brother, those monsters should be about thirty meters ahead. I'll prepare something and trouble you to lure them over later, so I can use the Qimen technique to take care of them in one pot."

  In the pitch-black forest, I couldn't see his appearance at this moment. Of course, he couldn't see my contemptuous expression either. What's going on here? Is he using me as cannon fodder? This is making me take the bullet first, you know I'm not a party member. What can I do?

  But then I thought, actually I just wanted to get rid of those night foxes myself. But halfway through, Yi Xing suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Since I've never coordinated with anyone before, it's better for me to charge forward alone and have a fierce battle with those beasts rather than being cannon fodder bait. So I told him: "Alright, you just stay here, I'll go take a look ahead."

  Yi Xingxing, who didn't know whether he was a genius or a natural fool, completely didn't catch the underlying meaning in my words. After listening to me, he whispered: "You must be more careful, don't compete with them head-on, and remember to lure them back, got it?"

  After that, I vaguely saw him take out a bundle of steel-like things from his clothes and tie them to the nearby tree. I don't know what he wants to do, but my heart feels a bit stuffy. What's the point of not competing with them? You're underestimating me, the successor of the "Three Clear Talismans", aren't you?

  So I didn't bother with him anymore and walked away alone, one step at a time.

  The snow was still falling, and the bare forest seemed to be unable to block any wind. I rubbed my hands that were about to freeze numb, wondering what situation lay ahead. Sure enough, after not walking for long, a faint white light appeared in the distance.

  It must be ahead!! I swallowed my saliva. Then, quietly took a few more steps and hid behind a large tree, peeking out with half of my face to take a sneak look over there.

  My god! The strange scene before my eyes is that the little beast I just hit is sitting on a large stone in front of me, crying and wailing. There seems to be something on the ground emitting a faint white light. Next to it are two adult night foxes, one male and one female, who appear to be its family. They look no different from ordinary adults, with no hair or eyebrows, and they are completely naked. However, compared to the little night fox, the blood vessels on these two adult night foxes are thicker and more pronounced, like the roots of a tree spreading all over their bodies, forming an extremely eerie pattern.

  On a snowy night in the woods, this scene was too strange. I looked at the mother fox's curvaceous and seductive figure, and my heart secretly cursed. This is the first time I've seen a woman's naked body in reality, why does it feel so disgusting and terrifying?

  I saw the mother silver fox holding a frozen sparrow in her mouth, teasing the little silver fox. The male silver fox was squatting on the ground, gently patting their child. At that moment, I felt a strange feeling in my heart. This scene, isn't it just like us humans? Should I go disturb them?

  At this point, I hastily shook my head. No, they are monsters, harmful monsters. How can they be the same as us humans? Don't forget that Huang's little fatty almost got killed by them. My heart doesn't allow any hesitation at this moment. I'm risking my life to come and get rid of them! If we don't kill them, innocent people will suffer from their harm in the future! Cui Zuofei, you mustn't falter at the critical moment!

  Just as I was dazed, the female Arctic fox suddenly stood up, with its back to me, and said coldly: "How is it that you've come but don't dare to show yourself?"

  It's bad! They've found me! This is a bolt from the blue, I didn't expect these monsters to have cultivated to the point where they can speak human language. Now it's going to be difficult, since they've already discovered me, my plan for a sneak attack hasn't even had time to take shape before it's been aborted.

  No choice, drive the ducks to the shelves, and go out with a hard scalp. Since they can speak, there is room for communication, let's see if we can negotiate with them to let them live in the mountains and not harm people again.

  But I didn't dare to be negligent in my defense, so I put my right hand into the bag, and if things went wrong later, I could quickly counterattack. After making preparations, I walked out.

  Another gust of cold wind blew by, and the swirling snowflakes passed through their bodies and hit my face, making my nerves tense to the extreme. Although it was freezing, although I had already faced these unscientific things more than once before, I still felt a slight chill run down my spine.

  The three nocturnal foxes gazed at me with an extremely complex look in their eyes, under the illumination of the white light, that gaze seemed to contain many emotions, including hatred, venom, anger, and even a hint of sadness.

  I was stunned, seeing a demon's eyes for the first time, and they were almost indistinguishable from those of humans.

  And being stared at by them in the nude, I felt extremely uncomfortable all over, especially that little night fox, it was holding onto that dead sparrow with its paws, its bright red eyes were filled with bloodshot and tears, staring at me fiercely, as if its gaze could kill people, I would have been hacked to pieces a thousand times by now.

  You're still monsters after all, your plan to harm people has been ruined by me, now you want to kill me to silence me? You dare to glare at me? Is there no king's law anymore? So I steeled myself and didn't care if you looked like humans or not. If you don't get out of here and go deep into the mountains today, I'll have to eliminate you.

  As the atmosphere around us became increasingly tense, as if a fierce battle was about to erupt at any moment, the mother night fox spoke again. In a low, mysterious tone, she asked me: "Are you, Mr. Yin and Yang?"

  Goodness! It actually knows about Mr. Yin Yang's profession, which means it must have lived for a very long time, and it's possible that they are the demons who survived the Ten Years' Calamity.

  Since it knows my identity, it must have some reservations about me. After all, we ordinary gentlemen are their natural enemies.

  I nodded and said, "That's right."

  But contrary to my expectations, they were not afraid. The vixen asked me again: "My child, was it you who hurt him?"

  I don't know what kind of tricks they're playing, so I nodded again and said, "Yes."

  The mother fox's eyes changed again, and she seemed to ask me vaguely: "Why did you want to hurt my child?"

  I'm fed up with this female demon, how can she be so stupid? What she's asking isn't nonsense, is it? You're harming people, of course I'll deal with you. What's wrong with that?

  "So I said with hatred: 'Because you almost killed an innocent person! So I will take justice into my own hands and deal with you, now give you two options, one is to leave Harbin immediately, hide in a deep mountain or old forest, the other is that I kill you. You choose for yourself.'"

  That vixen didn't react at all after I made a fierce remark, but the male fox and the little fox beside her seemed to be ready to fight to the death with me. However, after the vixen gave them a glance, they calmed down again. I was puzzled by their behavior - even if we were to engage in a physical fight, it's not certain that I could defeat all three of them, so why did she still want to exchange these empty words with me?

  Just as I was wondering, the vixen spoke again. She said in a low voice: "Mr. Yin Yang, can I ask you three questions? If you can answer them, we'll leave immediately."

  What's the matter? What's going on here? I find this whole thing rather suspicious, as they seem to be quite different from those ghosts or monsters I've encountered before. Their intelligence doesn't appear to be any lower than mine, a soul who has suffered damage. I nodded slightly.

  She saw me nodding and asked: "Have you eaten animals?"

  I didn't know what it meant, so I just nodded.

  She then asked me: "Have you ever thought that those animals you eat also have parents and siblings?"

  After hearing what she said, I fell silent. What does it mean to ask me these things? Does it want to know if I have ever thought about those domestic animals? Aren't they born as food for humans?

  I shook my head in confusion.

  She saw me shaking my head and said emotionally: "You can eat our animals at will, because if you don't eat our animals, you can't live a healthy life. Have you ever thought that we night foxes are the same? If we don't let our children parasitize on your human body, we will become extinct! The so-called justice in your mouth is actually just for your own human beings! In fact, you humans are more selfish than any other living thing!"

  I suddenly fell silent, unsure of how to respond to it.

  She saw that I wasn't speaking, so she continued to say: "So what you call 'carrying out the way of heaven', which heaven are you referring to? What is heaven? Is it your human selves? Does your 'carrying out the way of heaven' mean not allowing any living beings outside of yourselves to have the right to survive? If you don't save that child, he will die. But if you save him, my child will die. Is this what you call justice?"

  Thank you for everyone's support. Due to the relationship between paragraphs and chapter names, Chapter 63 is still around 3000 words. Tonight, I will reorganize the draft and try to set the chapters after Chapter 63 at around 4000 words. I will definitely make my best effort to let brothers have a good read.
