Chapter 132: 97, 98. Fox Immortal shares his heart as he leads a thousand riders, Yune escapes trouble and enters the great river (Large Chapter - Subscription Request)_3

The story of the Taoist is something I made up.

But I had no choice, Last time I told Lady Zhushan the truth, she sealed me up.

So, I concocted a story I thought you might like to hear."

Song Cheng looked astonished and then exclaimed with delight, "The Taoist’s story isn’t true?!"

Fox Immortal Su blinked in surprise and asked, "What are you happy about?"

Song Cheng just smiled and said nothing.

Fox Immortal Su demanded, "Say it!"

But Song Cheng remained silent.

He thought he might be beginning to ’KFC’...

Fox Immortal Su grew anxious and said, "If you don’t speak, neither will I!"

It was then that Song Cheng said, "I was originally worried about Sister Su having such a dark past; now that it’s not true, that’s really for the best. It’s just... oh, nothing."

Song Cheng looked as if he had more to say, but then swallowed his words in haste.

Fox Immortal Su was puzzled, thinking that something didn’t sound right. Why should he care about that? After considering the young man’s words, she said, "You’re quite a nice guy. But you definitely have more to say. Come on, Song, out with it."

Song Cheng repeatedly insisted, "There’s nothing more, you’re mistaken."

Fox Immortal Su pressed, "Come on, speak."

Song Cheng smiled gently, looked at her, and softly said, "There’s really nothing more."

Fox Immortal Su exclaimed, "This is killing me, killing me!"

With her hands on her hips and her neck arched proudly, she looked at Song and said fiercely, "If you won’t speak, then I won’t either!"

Song Cheng’s face revealed a shy youthful blush as he asked, "Sister Su, do you really want to hear it?"

Fox Immortal Su’s enchanting eyes flickered, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened, but she still nodded as if compelled by an unknown force.

Song Cheng said, "I had thought that since the Taoist was so kind to Sister Su, he must be the one she held dear. I didn’t say it out loud, but it made me feel uncomfortable inside. I thought how nice it would be if I were that Taoist."

Fox Immortal Su’s breath quickened, and she barely got out the words, "Song..."

Song Cheng continued, "The stars tonight, the wind tonight, the west of the painted tower, the east of the osmanthus hall. No colorful phoenix wings to fly together, yet the heart holds a feeling that silently communicates. Sister Su... if the little Taoist you made up doesn’t exist, then may I become your little Taoist?"

Fox Immortal Su’s affection rating suddenly increased from "92" to "95".

But then, her expression dimmed as she spoke, "We can’t be together."

Song Cheng asked, "Why not?"

Fox Immortal Su said mournfully, "I belong to the Su Family."

Song Cheng, without anger, softly said, "Then I will strive to become a man worthy of Sister Su, one who can be accepted by the Su Family."

Fox Immortal Su said, "Let me tell you a story."

Song Cheng, seeing the shining "[Affection Level: 95]" above Fox Immortal Su’s head, knew that a "new world" had arrived. He nodded and said, "Tell me, Sister Su."

He was naturally handsome and was also the Northern Region Blade King. Coupled with his "near-perfect alignment with the Fox Immortal’s" "aesthetic,"

It seemed Fox Immortal Su was finally ready to have a serious talk.

"In legends, a very long time ago, there were no living beings on this vast land, and the Holy One felt loneliness. Thus, using supreme divine skills in the starry river, He created soul after soul, then cast them onto the boundless planet.

But perhaps the Holy One grew weary and no longer wished to create meticulously but instead danced the dance of life in the starry river. Each of his dances stirred up many droplets from the starry river, which, pulled by His divine skills, also turned into souls."

Clearly, even though there were living beings,

They were naturally divided into two categories.

One kind was meticulously created by the Holy One, and the other was created by the Holy One casually.

Let’s put it this way...

The Su Family belongs to the former.

And Song... you all, belong to the latter."

Having said that, Fox Immortal Su suddenly extended her hand forward, and a dark grey Divine Soul emerged from her palm.

"Can you see it?"

"I can sense it."

"In this world, most people’s Divine Souls are formless and intangible.

But there are still a few whose Divine Souls are born with this layer of dark grey.

This grey... allows our Divine Souls to naturally age but not be easily destroyed by other means.

Even if our souls shattered, they would heal instantly.

We are born to live longer than ordinary people and naturally capable of cultivating higher-level Cultivation Techniques.

This level... is called Mysterious.

It is a Realm that you Martial Artists, no matter how hard you try, can never reach.

You can’t be blamed for this; it’s innate."

"In order to delay the ageing of the soul, we can only find ways to start by slowing the physical body’s aging with the Ice Coffin. At the same time, we also need to ensure a safe external environment...

Because if the evil spirits grow strong, we will be wrapped up in an endless Ghost Tide, and though we may not die, we will lose our sanity. And those powerful souls that have not lost their sanity will sink into madness while aware... suffering like being in Endless Hell, a fate worse than death."

Song Cheng asked, "Are there still people in your Su Family?"

Fox Immortal Su said, "There are, but they are all in slumber.

Before falling into slumber, we prepared enough Sun Nine-Patterned Golden Coffins and hid them everywhere.

I am the Su Family Emissary of this generation."

Song Cheng asked, "So... where is the Su Family?"

Fox Immortal Su hesitated, then pointed at the ground, saying, "Buried below, everyone is lying in a special Ice Coffin, undetectable by anyone.

When I told Lady Zhushan this, she pretended to agree, but then she actually treated me like an evil spirit.

She misused her Charm and caused chaos, resulting in the deaths of many people around her. Then she came to blame me, thinking it was an ominous power.

But Song, you should believe me, we all need to come together to deal with the evil spirits...

However, now I don’t want you to intervene, it’s too dangerous.

I am going to find the Great Hall Master and Old Venom.

They always have Martial Artists who can carry the Sun Nine-Patterned Golden Coffin and accompany me to seal the evil spirits."
