Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 144 - 143: Do you want this blue pill, or do you want this red pill?

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Do you want this blue pill, or do you want this red pill?

Little Fox, accompanied by the tall and burly Fang Xiang, arrived at the Pure Stream Sword Sect.

As Little Fox was still attempting to transform, sometimes, inadvertently, her fox tail would still show.

When she and Fang Xiang entered the secret chamber in the back mountain of the Pure Stream Sword Sect, Kong Yuting, who was cultivating in seclusion inside, was startled.

Since Kong Yuting had returned to the Pure Stream Sword Sect, she had disregarded all affairs of the sect and had secluded herself in the back mountain, in a chamber known only to the Sect Master on how to enter, to cultivate in seclusion.

On the walls of the secret chamber, the unique skills of the Pure Stream Sword Sect were carved.

Kong Yuting intended to continue her seclusion here until she broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Although she was currently only in the True Core Realm, there was still a whole gap of the Spiritual Platform Realm between her and the Purple Mansion Realm.

But she was even more aware that it was the Corpse Nether Sect, once a giant of the Demon Sect, that had killed her father. She could not avenge her father until she reached the Purple Mansion Realm.

Thus, she must seclude herself until she reached the Purple Mansion Realm!

Only then could she avenge him!

However, at this moment, two people had entered the secret chamber that only the Sect Master knew how to open.

This made Kong Yuting somewhat panicked.

Especially when a snow-white tail appeared behind the little girl, which shocked her even more.

"Big sister, don’t be scared, we aren’t bad people. Actually, your father allied with my foster father, that’s how we knew how to get in," Little Fox said.

Hearing this, Kong Yuting became even more uneasy.

She asked coldly, "But my father is already dead, how could he ally with your foster father after his death?"

Little Fox was taken aback and retorted, "But he could only ally with my foster father after he died! How else could he meet my foster father?"

Kong Yuting frowned slightly and looked at the brawny man beside the little girl, clad in a black robe and a hat that covered his face, emitting a very cold and gloomy aura.

Could it be...

"You’re all ghosts?"

Little Fox shook her head and pointed at herself, "My name is Hu Xingxiang, and I’m a little fox still getting used to transforming; uncle Fang Xiang seems like a ghost... a Ghost General."

Kong Yuting then somewhat believed what Little Fox had just said.

"Then, what matter brings you to me?"

Little Fox took out two small boxes from her bosom, opened them, and each contained a pill.

A blue pill.

A red pill.

"Because your father allied with my foster father, my foster father knew that your Pure Stream Sword Sect was facing troubles recently, so he sent me to help you."

As she spoke, Little Fox walked towards Kong Yuting.

"Big sister, here are two pills. One pill, once taken, can let you immediately break through to the Purple Mansion Realm," said Little Fox.

With that statement, Kong Yuting was tempted.

The thing she needed most right now was strength!

However, Kong Yuting shook her head and asked, "How can there be such good pills in the world? There must be some catch, right?"

Little Fox giggled, "Big sister, you’re really smart. I was just about to say, the side effect of this pill is that you will remain in the Purple Mansion Realm for life, unable to advance further."

Then, Little Fox looked at the other pill and began to explain.

"This pill can greatly unleash your potential, allowing your potential to increase while significantly advancing your realm, without affecting your future cultivation. However, the issue is, it might cause some strange changes in your body."

After explaining, Little Fox pushed the boxes in her hands forward.

"My foster father said that there are no perfect people or perfect pills in this world, so you can only choose one of them. How to choose, big sister must decide for herself."

Kong Yuting reached out for the first pill without hesitation, she needed power, she needed great power.

But just as her hand was about to touch the pill, she drew it back.

Kong Yuting remembered that her father had once said that she had great potential and her future was limitless.

If she really jeopardized her whole life over a momentary gain or loss, it seemed hardly worthwhile.

Moreover, Kong Yuting worried whether, by breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, the Corpse Nether Sect could really be defeated by just one person in the Purple Mansion Realm.

What if she chose this pill now and could only reach the Purple Mansion Realm while her enemies grew stronger, then she wouldn’t be able to avenge her father, and that would be the real regret.

Thinking this, Kong Yuting decided that she needed to look further into the future.

She then chose the latter, the Red Pill.

As Kong Yuting swallowed the pill, she instantly felt a tremendous pain surge through her limbs and body, fell to the ground, and writhed and howled in agony, before fainting moments later.

Little Fox looked at Fang Xiang next to her, her face filled with panic.

"Uncle Fang Xiang, what are you doing?" she asked.

At that moment, Fang Xiang took out a wooden board and was recording something on it with his sharp nails.

"The master said this pill can stimulate one’s potential, but it might also cause mutations, so he asked me to record the process of her taking the pill. After all, this pill might very well make her turn into something neither human nor ghost."

Hearing this, Little Fox couldn’t help but worry as well.

After all, nobody would want such a beautiful big sister to turn ugly.

Moreover, since her father had sided with her foster father, she should consider her as one of their own.

Looking at Kong Yuting still on the ground, gritting her teeth and enduring the severe pain, Little Fox cheered, "Big sister, you have to hang in there!"

"Although I don’t know how to help you, I believe that in your heart, there must be someone who is the most important to you!"

"Even if it’s for the most important person in your heart, you can’t just give up! You have to learn to control, control the power of the pill, let the pill empower you, not dominate you!"

Hearing Little Fox’s words, Kong Yuting didn’t know why, but the face of Zhang San suddenly appeared in her mind.

Father has died, but there is still a man in this world who is of great importance to me!

Yes!

In order to win this man, how could I allow the pill’s power to dominate me, how could I become something neither human nor ghost!

"Ah—"

Amidst the screams, Kong Yuting gradually floated into the air, using her strong willpower to suppress the violent power inside her body, guiding it into her True Core, and then completing the final step of the True Core Realm—True Core Ocean Calming!

As Kong Yuting’s True Core blasted into the Golden Wheel Sea, her aura surged, even causing the entire chamber to tremble.

Even the jade box that held an arm automatically opened, and the arm flew from behind and landed on the back of Kong Yuting, who was surrounded by numerous golden runes, and then gradually integrated into her.

Fang Xiang quickly recorded everything he saw happening before him.

Little Fox, realizing that Kong Yuting’s cultivation had improved and the violent aura in her body had stabilized, felt a surge of relief.

Today I did another good deed.

The more good deeds I do, the more good things will come my way!

That’s right, Zhang San is my reward!

Yes, that’s how it is, exactly right!
