Chapter 1045 - 483: Cross-Dressing as a Man; Red Ape Sect

The little white fox slightly loosened its front paws, and its two pointed ears involuntarily perked up.

It rarely saw the Evil Race being this serious.

What exactly was so important?

Could it be,

this guy discovered its identity?

Or did he find something astonishing in the Xu Family’s Jade Scroll?

"However... this matter concerns you, and after knowing it, you must not get angry, nor break ties with me."

Chen Ye’s expression turned solemn, and he spoke seriously.

Listening to him say this.

The little white fox’s heart leapt to its throat, its front paws nervously clutching the bamboo table, even its breathing subconsciously lightened.

This guy,

What exactly did he do to betray it?

Did he take advantage of the time it slept soundly to mess with its hind legs again?

It was rapidly calculating in its mind, in case this Evil Race revealed some earth-shattering secret, what stance it should use to pounce and bite him to preserve its last shred of dignity.

Under the near breathless and focusing spirit gaze of the little white fox,

Chen Ye suddenly shook his head, withdrew his hand that was stroking the little fox’s neck fur, and sighed:

"Let’s wait a few days. Find the right opportunity, and then I’ll tell you everything in detail. In the meantime, brace yourself and stop overthinking, be good, and go back to sleep."

"???"

The entire little white fox was dumbfounded, its fox eyes almost spewing fire.

This guy left it dangling with anticipation, only to say it’s not the right time?!

"Hmph! Chatter! (Damn it, hurry up and tell me!)"

The little white fox snapped back to its senses and bared its teeth angrily at Chen Ye, its right front paw pounding the table with a "bang bang" sound.

If not for fear of revealing its identity,

it would have loved nothing more than to scratch Chen Ye’s face.

"Don’t be anxious, I’m just worried you won’t be able to handle it, let’s take it easy."

Seeing the little white fox gnashing its teeth anxiously, yet helpless against him, Chen Ye held back his laughter.

This can’t be blamed on him.

Who made this little fox tease his anticipation first?

"Chatter chatter chatter!!"

...

Su Qingdai felt as if she was hallucinating.

It was early morning, and the Celestial Street Nine Districts of Ten Thousand Medicines Celestial City was already bustling, with early-rising cultivators coming and going in a continuous stream on the long street.

Due to Medicine King Valley’s towering reputation, Su Qingdai was a well-known fairy in the Yan Nan area.

On this trip,

to avoid trouble, she and her fellow sect members had simplified their disguises, while Su Qingdai donned a plain white veil to shield that attention-catching pretty face.

"Senior Sister Su, I’ve heard that many prodigies are here for this herb-collecting ceremony. The Patriarch intends to choose a suitable son-in-law for Qing Di, and this Ten Thousand Medicines Celestial City is likely to become a battleground for these prodigies."

A delicate-looking female cultivator was speaking in a low voice, with excitement in her tone.

"Mm."

Su Qingdai responded absentmindedly.

Behind the thin veil, her beautiful eyes wandered aimlessly over the bustling marketplace.

Just now...

Why did she seem to see a large figure and three small ones?

Oh well, it must be a coincidence.

In the Cultivation Realm, it’s not uncommon for a cultivator to bring along three disciples, though it’s not the norm.

Another imposing sword-wielding male cultivator shook his head:

"A prodigy? Hopefully. Although the Patriarch is selecting a consort, it doesn’t mean any random cultivator of unknown background can come to the herb-collecting ceremony and take over. First, they’d have to ask if our true inheritors at Medicine King Valley will allow it! Don’t just mention prodigies, if they turn out inferior to our Inner Sect disciples!"

Listening to her senior brother’s confident words, Su Qingdai’s lips beneath the veil pulled into a complex, bitter smile.

"Junior brother has never been to the great world outside; he doesn’t know how many strange individuals there are..."

She mused inwardly.

Medicine King Valley was indeed a dominant force in Yan Nan, but looking across the Yan Kingdom, there were four other major sects that could rival Medicine King Valley.

Let alone the Ruins Country.

Back then,

He Qinyuan alone gave both her and Spirit Treasure Sect’s top prodigy Zhong Jinliu a hard time.

And behind him, there was another even more terrifying woman!

Su Qingdai still had lingering fears in her heart.

That woman, named Gu Tangyin, was a renowned prodigy in the Ruins Country, one of the Thirty-Six Hidden Dragons.

With profound cultivation and ruthless methods.

If she had come back then, Su Qingdai might have perished in the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven.

As she pondered secretly, she suddenly heard a mutter that pierced through the bustling crowd, straight into her ears.

"Hey! Why does this coral that looks like a turtle warrant ten Spirit Stones? Qing... When this young master was in Hunyuan City, these things were abundant on the beach! Are you robbing Spirit Stones?!"

"Hey there! Young cultivator, Hunyun City is in the Central Plains, where is the beach?"

"That’s none of your business! If I say there is, then there is!"

This voice sounded unfamiliar, yet the unreasonable tone suddenly reminded Su Qingdai of a little girl.

"Qing Jun?!"

Su Qingdai’s heart trembled violently, and she looked up.

But upon careful observation, she saw that at the stall, there was no little girl with white hair.

What stood there was clearly a young master of about twelve or thirteen years old.

The young master had rosy lips and white teeth, his black hair was tied back in a high ponytail with a bright golden headband, wearing a well-tailored robe of bright red velvet, and at his waist, there was pretentiously a longsword Magical Treasure adorned with Seven Treasures tassels.

Behind the young master, there was a plain-clothed servant following. The servant had his head lowered, looking timid and submissive.

He looked very much like a spoiled young master from a wealthy family.
