The Sacred Ruins Novel - Chapter 838

838 Great Villain Chu’s Con

“I’m about to feel embarrassed if you praise me like this,” Chu Feng sighed and said with a tranquil look on his face.

Am I f**king praising you? The fox with the yellow fur looked at him with his head tilted. It was evident that he didn’t want to trample in muddy water with him nor was he willing to go with him to gather divine medicine.

“Senior, may I trouble you more? I want to see how to dig out a divine medicine.” Chu Feng humbly asked for guidance.

!!
The fox with the yellow fur rolled its eyes. Were all those words it said all for naught? He had wasted his time mocking this boy. There really was no one who had such psychological qualities and brazenness?!

In the end, Chu Feng stubbornly dragged the fox with the yellow fur along with him and set off.

“Senior, have you thought of a way? Otherwise, take a look and see if this is possible. I’ll wait here for you,” Chu Feng said in a very serious manner. He wanted to stay here and wait for the fox with the yellow fur to gather medicine.

“What do you mean?!” The latter half of the fox with the yellow fur had turned to stone. At this moment, it couldn’t help but to tremble slightly. This was out of anger. In the end, it had been reduced to it going to pluck medicine while this thick skinned brat reaped the benefits without lifting a finger and waited for it to return?

“I’m afraid of being a burden on you with you dragging your hind leg,” said Chu Feng.

“It’s alright. Let’s go together to take a look.” The request of the fox with the yellow fur was that he had to follow him and approach the abyss together.

After that, the more it pondered over it in his mind, the more he felt uneasy. What was going on? Was he really going to follow this brat to pluck medicine?

Chu Feng was deeply worried and sick at heart all the way. He was thinking about the gray matter and how it would tangle with him all his life once this thing infected him. How was he going to break free of it?

Especially since the gray matter had infected the big black yak, Qin Luoyin, Ying Zhexian and a group of people. Even if it was not much, it was possible there would be an extremely bad effect on them too.

But he only had one black talisman paper on him and that was the one he had even snatched from his son, the Little Daoist and it was practically not enough.

Chu Feng sighed and looked up at the sky.

“What are you sighing about? What are you thinking about?” asked the fox with the yellow fur.

“I’m thinking about my experience at the end of the Reincarnation Road. I clearly saw ten people. They were all holding talisman papers. There were silver ones, crimson ones… but my face was far too tender, so I didn’t have the nerve to put my hand on them.”

Chu Feng let out a long sigh as he held a huge regret in his heart. If he knew the talisman paper had such a use, he would have viciously mounted sneak attacks on them all irrespective of whether they were twin sisters or a golden haired man with wings. He would have made them lose consciousness by patting them on the back and looted all of their talisman papers away. That would be more useful than anything!

The fox with the yellow fur didn’t even want to pay any attention to him as he listened to him talk endlessly without getting to the point and feel regretful over there. He already looked like this, yet he still felt no shame in saying that he had a tender cheek?

“Senior, is there some pattern to the birth of those talisman papers? Or is it to say that everyone who walks on the Reincarnation Road rush over there during a particular node in time? If not, why did those people arrive one after another last time and were situated within a certain time range?”

Chu Feng humbly consulted. No matter how one looked at him, he appeared very meek.

But the fox with the yellow fur didn’t think he was a modest person of noble character though. He couldn’t help but ask him what he was trying to do.

Contrary to expectations, Chu Feng was straightforward too and said, “Wasn’t I thin-skinned before? I didn’t have the nerve to make a move. If the heavens give me one more chance, I definitely won’t disappoint them and play underhanded sneak attacks to the very end!”

The fox with the yellow fur secretly sighed when he saw the very solemn expression Chu Feng had paired with the words of justice he uttered. This was a f**king… talented person. He spoke of robbery and him hijacking the Reincarnation Road with such a solemn atmosphere as though he was very divine. One really couldn’t find several people like this.

“There are too many secrets on the Reincarnation Road and it involves too many levels. Even my Master might not necessarily know everything, much less a person like me.”

The fox with the yellow fur didn’t want to discuss matters regarding the Reincarnation Road too much with this deadpan robber. One was because it was afraid of the consequences and second was because he felt that robbery was too embarrassing.

Suddenly, it wanted to understand what kind of person Chu Feng was exactly. A living being with such thick-skinned attributes should mix rather wll in the Yin Realm, right?

After that, he inquired about it.

To that, Chu Feng simply mentioned a few matters of the past and beautified himself as much as possible.

What kind of person was the fox with the yellow fur? What kind of nasty seas and horrid gales had he not experienced before? Since ancient times until now, he had fallen from the clouds to hell and wandered about in a desperate plight. He had experienced all of the grievances and hardships in the world of man.

It didn’t have eyelashes. He immediately felt that there was a problem through Chu Feng’s words and said, “You’re only the owner of a store selling miscellaneous goods?”

How could it believe that the owner of a small store had the capability to run to this universe?

Chu Feng nodded and said, “I pay particular attention to honesty. All of the items I sell are genuine at fair prices. I cheat neither the old nor the young. As such, I have a certain reputation through selling my wares.”

He was praising himself over here as he said those who bought from him had said his wares were good. Every time there was an auction, many people from all parts of the universe would actively bid and compete to buy his goods. In the end, he sold significant items that produced worthwhile results that were not immediately apparent at the time.

The fox with the yellow fur had a baffled expression on his face. Finally, he really couldn’t understand no matter how he thought about it and said, “May I boldly ask what is it that you sell?”

“This…” Chu Feng blushed with shame and said, “It’s a business running on a small capital from a few local specialties that I hunted myself. It’s fine if I don’t say it either. It’s a small operation just so that I can have enough food and warm clothes.”

“Don’t be humble. Tell me. I’m judging whether you can mingle as you want in the Yang Realm in the future and am evaluating your potential,” said the fox with the yellow fur in a very serious manner.

Chu Feng heard this and immediately had a serious expression as he said, “I only sold a few divine sons and saintesses.”

The fox with the yellow fur staggered before it had a stunned look across its entire face as he stared at Chu Feng. Its lips trembled slightly and in the end, it still couldn’t say anything out of shock.

It already had a certain baseline in his heart, but it never thought that the youngster before its eyes could still breakthrough it further. This wasn’t a good person! This was a motherf**king human trafficker!

It wanted to turn its head around and leave on the spot. Even if it needed a vicious and merciless generation, the individual couldn’t surpass some kind of baseline either.

“Senior, I only did so as self-protection. I was forced to do everything.” Chu Feng had a sincere expression as he informed the other party of the process in detail.

The expression on the fox with the yellow fur’s face changed indefinitely from a pleasant one to a clouded one as it said, “That is pardonable, but you praised yourself to resemble a flower bud yet you’re still a human trafficker.”

The fox with the yellow fur mutter to itself somewhat irresolutely, “But I think a person like you might be able to live a little better. You’re more suited to the Yang Realm. I’m choosing you this time.”

What did he mean by that? Chu Feng was suspicious. Why did feel that this wasn’t the first time the fox with the yellow fur chose someone?

“That’s right. I chose a few people before. Some were known as philanthropists across nine generations whereas others were known as the destined child of this world. They were all good people of noble character, but after they entered the Yang Realm, every single one of them died a very tragic death. They were quickly killed and eaten one after the other. Even the fortune I gifted them helped others accomplish their aim. It truly is…” The fox with the yellow fur sighed as he lamented. Those were people he had thought highly of, yet they died very tragically.

“So, do you think I’m better suited?” Chu Feng still didn’t feel quite right.

“Yes. Your innate aptitude is one that is rare amongst people. I am looking forward to the day when I can hear news of you selling divine sons and saintesses in this Land of the Fallen very much.”

Motherf**ker! Wasn’t that courting death? Chu Feng looked at him out of the corner of his eyes.

“Don’t get angry. What I mean is that with your talents and abilities, you definitely won’t be a person who tries to be on good terms with everyone after you enter the Yang Realm since you’ve even been a human trafficker before. You will be able to live a very good life and won’t disappoint the expectations I have for you.”

Chu Feng figured he could see that this old thing was of the firm opinion that he wasn’t a good person and thus felt that he could create a new phase. He felt unhappy about this because this meant he had been positioned as a villain.

“Let me tell you something. You have to remember that address I told you. That is the last thing I can gift and it is also the most precious item. If my Master were to know of this, even he would probably be incomparably excited.”

“Senior, all my memories will probably be washed away if I return to the Yin Realm from this place. I won’t remember anything. Do you have any way around that?” asked Chu Feng.

The fox with the yellow fur immediately frowned. This question was too difficult as it involved the rules of an entire universe. He was now crippled, so how could he have so many means up his sleeve?

“I’ll ponder about it later and think of a way,” it said in the end.

“You really can?” Chu Feng was pleasantly surprised. After that, he said, “Then good deeds have to be done till the very end. I also have a companion named Yaoyao. Let her retain her memories too.”

“Innumerable Honourable Deity! F**k me! Boy, are you done yet? Is your skin so thick that there’s no edge to it? You have too many requests. I still have to consider such a matter with one person. There’s no chance I’ll be able to do so for two people!”

The fox with the yellow fur was getting worried. It completely put down the load and didn’t concern itself with him anymore.

“Aren’t we having a discussion? Senior, don’t get angry. Come, let us have a slow discussion.” Chu Feng had an apologetic smile across his entire face in a hurry.

“Why is it that I find a boy like you so unpleasant to the eye? You look like a natural-born villain. Say, once a person like you entered the Yang Realm, won’t you be immediately beaten to death?”

The fox with the yellow fur stared at him and looked at him over and over again.

“How is that possible? I sold my enemies at a reduced price. From my point of view, the Yang Realm isn’t anything much. In the future, it won’t be impossible for me to dig up a few forbidden lands in a row to take a look and see if there’s anything there. The prerequisite is that Senior, you have to prepare those things for me so that I can emerge in power. Can you do that? When all is said and done, is it possible or not? How about this? Senior, tell me a few more locations so that I can excavate a little more good things. If not, then lie down and write out your breathing techniques and divine techniques. I think your Master can’t interact with them no matter how remarkable his abilities are. I’ll practice them head-no later on and that’ll do.”

“Go over to one side and stay there!”

The duo walked toward the abss like that and were about to approach it soon.

“Huh? Isn’t this the road heading to the Vermillion Bird’s abyss?” Chu Feng was taken aback. After that, his eyes widened in sudden realisation as he said, “Senior, you can tell fortunes. Did you anticipate that the Old Vermillion Bird is already on the point of death? Is this why you’ve brought me here to gather the Vermillion Bird’s divine medicines?”

The fox with the yellow fur looked him deep in the eyes and said, “This Vermillion Bird didn’t cultivate the special technique, so it lived exceptionally long. I think that it can still live for fifty years at the very least.”

“Then what are we doing by coming here? Let’s hurry and run off so that we’re on our way!” Chu Feng turned around and left.

“You’re being slick! Come back!” shouted the fox with the yellow fur. After that, it told Chu Feng that it knew that Old Vermilion Bird and it was considered to be one of the very few friends it had in this world.

When this Old Vermillion Bird was still young, it almost chose to send this Vermillion Bird to the Yang Realm.

Once Chu Feng heard this, he was immediately spirited again and said, “So, there was actually such a matter… You should have mentioned it earlier. Senior, you’ll dig up two, no, five divine medicines in a moment and it won’t be a problem, right?”

“Only you talk a lot. What are you thinking about? The Vermillion Bird’s divine medicines are very important to the young Vermillion Birds. If they’re all given to you, what will happen to them?”

Chu Feng heard this and immediately said, “Didn’t the Old Vermillion Bird exterminate the Flying Dragon Snake’s abyss? You can also give me a little bit of divine medicine from the Flying Dragon Snake and that’ll do too.”

“You really talk a lot!” The more the fox with the yellow fur looked at him, the more he looked like a villain.

“Oh right, Senior, we’re going to enter the Vermillion Bird’s abyss. Say, the Old Vermillion Bird doesn’t have a long life anymore. What is going to happen to those little Vermillion Birds?”

“You’re really worried about them! What exactly are you trying to say?!” The fox with the yellow fur glared at him.

“The few little Vermillion Birds that were left behind are all alone. They don’t have parents to take care of them. How pitiful! Do you think it is possible for us to bring them away and then raise them up properly? If we have the chance to do so, we’ll bring them into the Yang Realm and gift them a vast sky so that they can capture prey across millions of kilometers in the Yang Realm when they’re all grown up. How good will that be! I sympathise with the small and weak the most! I will definitely protect them well!” Chu Feng had a resolute expression on his face when he reached the end and was finally even more impassioned than before.

“There’s a little bit of logic to that. No, you human trafficker. You really can con people. You want to try to obtain the young Vermillion Birds and you must even say it in such an impassioned manner. You don’t intend to kidnap them and sell them off, right?!”

The fox with the yellow fur looked suspicious and kept staring at him.

“How is that possible? I’m serious. It’s because I saw how pitiful they looked so I want to take them away and raise them until they become adults. Please believe the heart of a hot blooded youth that is now boiling. Don’t turn this pure, innocent and kind heart cold,” Chu Feng said as he patted his chest.

“Don’t say anything anymore. Enter the Vermillion Bird’s abyss first.”

They had arrived. There was a massive abyss in front of them that was pitch-black like the black hole in the universe as it extended all the way across over there.
