Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 223 What, want to touch it and see?

After learning that Jing Shu was alright, Han Luo thought of Hu Xiaoyi and the others who had suddenly disappeared.

"Those nine-tailed celestial foxes..."

“They are not regrets…” Hu Yuan repeated what he had just explained to Jing Shu to Han Luo.

Han Luo was not as shocked as Jing Shu. He had already learned about the general situation of this ancient secret realm from Qinglong. Each divine beast only left behind a remnant spirit, so it was impossible for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox to have so many remnants.

Fox Yuan stopped talking and just stared at the desolate little house, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Since they are my creation, I know everything they see and experience..."

As Hu Yuan spoke, his hands slowly transformed back into their original form, and his furry paws stretched out in front of Han Luo, revealing his pink and tender paw pads.

"I noticed the way you looked at Fox Xiaoyi and the others earlier; you seemed really interested in touching them. Now that Jing Shu isn't here, and no one's watching you, what, do you want to touch them and see?"

Fox Yuan's voice carried a hint of seduction. Han Luo looked at the temptation before her and bit her lip almost imperceptibly.

I really, really want to pinch his cheek!

The tail behind Hanluo was anything but as calm as its owner's.

It quietly rose up in the fox's peripheral vision and began to sway slowly.

The smile in Hu Yuan's eyes grew more and more pronounced, but...

"Senior, please take it back." Han Luo turned around and forcibly removed her gaze from Hu Yuan's paw pads.

"I promised Jing Shu that I wouldn't touch anyone other than him, not even his nemesis."

Fox Yuan was astonished; he hadn't expected Han Luo to keep his promise so readily. He clearly wanted to touch her.

But soon, the surprise in Hu Yuan's eyes was replaced by satisfaction. This human is very good.

"Alright, I'm done joking with you." Fox Yuan changed his hand back to its original position.

"I haven't eaten human food in a long time. Do you know how to cook it?"

Fox Yuan recalled the food made by humans in the past and gently licked his teeth. Their roasted chicken was the most delicious.

Han Luo was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, my cooking skills... are really not good. I've disappointed you, senior."

"However... I have some peach blossom pastries and Drunken Immortal Wine here. If you don't mind, you can try them."

As he spoke, Han Luo took out the peach blossom pastry that Jing Shu had made for him earlier, as well as the Drunken Immortal Wine that he had treasured for a long time, from his storage ring.

Since Hu Yuan had helped Jing Shu so much, Han Luo naturally wouldn't be stingy with these things.

"Jing Shu is most skilled at cooking. When he comes out, he can help the senior cook some other dishes."

Hearing this, Hu Yuan felt a pang of regret.

If I had known this would happen, I would have asked him to make me some good food first before letting him in.

Fox Yuan picked up a peach blossom pastry, sniffed it, and then put it in his mouth.

good to eat!

Fox Yuan's eyes lit up, and a pair of snow-white fox ears peeked out from his hair, twitching gently twice.

Han Luo saw it, but pretended not to notice and handed the wine to Hu Yuan as well.

"Senior, please try this wine."

Hu Yuan took it, opened the lid, and a rich yet refreshing aroma of wine wafted out. Hu Yuan immediately took a sip from the jar.

Delicious!

Unwittingly, Fox Yuan's nine tails were also revealed.

Han Luo glanced behind Hu Yuan and, sure enough, saw the nine tails that were constantly wagging.

Han Luo slightly curled the corners of her lips. This senior was really easy to understand.

Hu Yuan took a big gulp, his cheeks turning slightly red, and sat down on the ground, hugging the jar.

"To be able to drink this wine before I perish, and to have this..."

"Peach blossom pastry," Han Luo added kindly.

"Yes! Peach blossom pastries..." A sense of relief flashed in Hu Yuan's eyes, "So, I have no regrets..."

Han Luo silently squatted down beside him. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply took out another jar of Drunken Immortal Wine and placed it next to Hu Yuan.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the hut where Jing Shu was. Hu Yuan, who was still a little drunk, casually stretched out his index finger towards the hut.

"Certainly."

As Hu Yuan finished speaking, the previously dilapidated hut stabilized and even became more solid.

Han Luo suddenly stood up and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, don't worry."

Fox Yuan took another sip of wine and calmly said, "It's normal for the fusion of the Nascent Soul to cause a lot of noise."

Han Luo couldn't calm down. Jing Shu had never told him how risky it would be to fuse the nascent soul and the divine soul.

But he knew Jing Shu too well; the less he said, the more it demonstrated how dangerous the matter was.

The hut had been quiet for less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea when another loud noise erupted, followed by Jing Shu's painful screams.

Fox Yuan, holding the half-empty jar of Drunken Immortal Wine, lazily looked towards the hut.

"His nascent soul fusion was successful..."

Before Han Luo could rush in, Hu Yuan continued, "But the soul..."

"How is your soul?" Han Luo suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

"After being separated for too long, even though the three souls desperately wanted to merge together, they had already begun to repel each other."

Hmm... This is difficult. Their souls are intertwined yet separate; if this continues, he won't be able to bear it..."

Although Hu Yuan said this, he didn't seem anxious at all.

"You have a way," Han Luo said with great certainty, then clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of Hu Yuan.

"Please save Jing Shu."

Fox Yuan raised his hand and used his spiritual power to stop Han Luo's movements. "I know you're anxious, but please don't rush. Let me finish speaking, okay?"

"Senior, please tell me."

Fox Yuan slowly stood up. "I can't save him, but you can."

"Within the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's inherited memories lies a method for dual cultivation of the soul and spirit, capable of nurturing the souls of both partners. When you cultivate together, using this method will help Jing Shu perfectly fuse his soul and spirit..."

"Thank you, senior!"

Before Han Luo could finish speaking, he vanished from the spot. The door to the hut was suddenly opened and then slammed shut.

Fox Yuan glanced at the tightly closed door and sighed softly, "Why the rush... I hadn't even finished speaking..."

Fox Yuan tilted his head back and took another sip of wine, then picked up a peach blossom pastry and savored it slowly before continuing to speak.

"I haven't even said yet. Jing Shu is probably not even fully conscious right now. Although your cultivation is higher than his, don't underestimate him in his current state, or you'll suffer a great loss..."

Hu Yuan looked at the wine in his hand, then at the other jar on the ground.

Let's get drunk quickly.

Otherwise, you'll hear things you shouldn't hear...
