Chapter 0176: 0176
After three months of seemingly getting along like a house on fire, it was finally revealed that the basement was haunted .
It was just a tiger and her prey .
Wu Yu already knew that all the Ninth Spirit had shown him was an illusion . This was a frightening woman . She never had the intention of changing her mind .
And now that she knew Wu Yu knew the truth, she did not have to pretend at all . After all, she knew that even if the two did not feel deeply for each other, the demonic rite would still bring her to the fourth tier of the Jindan Dao Realm .
And things having progressed to this stage, the Ninth Spirit had already run out of patience to keep up the facade .
Wu Yu took a deep breath and said, "So that's how it is . My last shred of goodwill towards you is gone as well . Ninth Spirit, all I have for you is hatred . Given the chance, I will definitely kill you!
"You and Jiang Xie are no different . Jiang Xie wanted to kill me cleanly . You want to kill me too, just through other devices . And with your revelation today, you are truly no different from Jiang Xie . "
The Ninth Spirit screeched a laugh . "Of course . Why should Jiu Er love you? Just because you're a genius with a bright future? Jiu Er only loves herself . And no one else . "
Being firmly in her control, Wu Yu tried many methods, but none of them were effective . A few days passed by his reckoning before the Ninth Spirit suddenly came to a stop . The strength imprisoning him suddenly eased, and Wu Yu tumbled to the ground . He sprung to his feet and looked around, realizing that he was inside a cave . The space was enormous, and all the walls were solid rock . There was some mist in the cave which slightly obscured one's vision .
"This is my territory . Fox Branch Mountain . "
He saw a Beautiful Fox of the Nine Heavens, eyes glowing red and body snow-white . Her front paws were bent slightly on the ground as she stared at him with a look of pure lust . She was clearly famished to the extreme .
To think that she had actually brought him back to her camp . Honestly, this place should not be difficult to find .
"Outside of Fox Branch Mountain, there is a naturally disorienting formation that is even bigger and more complex than the one at your Valley of Immortal Fate . Even if your master comes here, he will take at least 10 days to find us . So you had best give your hopes a rest . "
The Ninth Spirit's words pronounced Wu Yu's death sentence .
Wu Yu looked around him . He had no idea where the exit to the cave was . Clearly, it had been sealed by the Ninth Spirit, similar to the underground room in the Valley of Immortal Fate . In this place, there was only him and the Ninth Spirit . Neither heaven nor hell would even respond .
Surveying his surroundings, there was something beside the thick walls that caught Wu Yu's attention . It was another Beautiful Fox of the Nine Heavens of about the same size as the Ninth Spirit . However, this Beautiful Fox of the Nine Heavens had lifeless eyes and lay as still as death . Moreover, it was not actually alive, but a sculpture of ice that was so lifelike, Wu Yu had almost mistaken it for an ice fox .
Besides this ice sculpture of the Beautiful Fox of the Nine Heavens, there was nothing else here .
The Ninth Spirit did not seem to be in a rush . After all, this place was sealed, and she was almost certain that no one would come to the rescue . She looked at the fox sculpture, and a look of nostalgia and anger came over her . "That was my elder sister . "
"Elder sister?" Wu Yu had thought it a mere ice sculpture .
Speaking of the ice sculpture, the Ninth Spirit's anger rose . She stared balefully at Wu Yu . "That's right . It was my elder sister . We grew up together and cultivated together . We looked for a body of pure yang together, to complete our Beautiful Fox of the Nine Heavens transformation . A pity that she had already been harmed by you martial cultivators before she succeeded!"
What Wu Yu needed most right now was time, to think of a way to fight the Ninth Spirit . Since she had brought up this topic, he quickly latched on to it . "That's impossible . Why would a demon become an ice sculpture?"
The Ninth Spirit aggressively lashed out with her claws and tail and screeched, "She was stupid . She fell in love with a martial cultivator, and even gave up on our Beautiful Fox of the Nine Heavens' transformation for him . She was taken in by his honeyed words, and merged with him, giving up her chance to metamorphose! What was more laughable was that the martial cultivator only liked her looks . He did not love her . In the end, he fell out with my elder sister, then he called his sect to use Jindan dao techniques to turn my sister into ice!"
This sounded like a romantic tragedy .
Or, more accurately, it had shaped the Ninth Spirit into who she was today .
"Humans and demons are natural enemies . Love cannot exist between them! But she was a fool . She could not even comprehend such a simple logic, and willingly gave her everything for that man . Until even her life was taken from her! That is why Jiu Er will not believe you . Today, I will fulfill the wish of us sisters . I will metamorphose into a Spiritual Fox of the Nine Heavens! I will surge to the fourth tier of Jindan! Not just for myself, but also for my sister . . . .
"One day, I will take revenge for her . I will make those who harmed her pay with everything they have!"
Speaking thus, her eyes flamed even redder and more savage than before . Her look at Wu Yu was filled with hatred . This was her true face .
Wu Yu had not expected her to have such a tale .
Perhaps he could understand her hatred for humans and sympathize with her sister . But she was going to use Wu Yu as the springboard for her transformation into a Spiritual Fox of the Nine Heavens!
"In the fight between humans and demons, there is no good or evil . Humans have emotions and intellect, and demons do as well . The Ninth Spirit is not evil, but she and I have opposing goals . She wants me dead and is my natural enemy . My foe!"
Wu Yu was clear that exactly because of this, her reasons - however valid - demanded no sympathy!
