I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

"Speaking of which, can Nico transform into anyone?"

Yes. What's wrong?

Nidalee looked at Bai Ye with some surprise. Why didn't she ask when he was here?

"fine."

cough.

I should have just kidnapped Nico.

Bai Ye felt a pity in his heart, but since he had already missed the chance, he decided to let it go.

"By the way, what's this about you Vastaya?!"

Bai Ye walked to a clump of trees with some curiosity, squatted down, and looked at the white fox in front of him, feeling somewhat shocked.

Ahri?!

The woman who had just been perceived had transformed into a nine-tailed fox, with a precious pearl beside her.

It seems that it has only recently awakened.

Speaking of which, ever since I shared Conqueror's Haki with someone, it seems like I really am just like those main characters, able to pick up all sorts of random things wherever I go!

Shaving, and then finding an Ahri?

"The Vastaya fox cub seems to have been abandoned here?"

"This is not a little fox."

Didn't Nidalee notice?

Yes

The Ahri in front of me seems to have only recently awakened, but she is incredibly talented.

According to the backstory, Ahri seems to have indeed awakened during the war between Noxus and Ionia.

Is it because so many people died in this war that she absorbed a lot of life essence? And now she seems to be pretending, as if she wants to take it away and then absorb her own life essence?

Come to think of it, Ahri seems to be a predator now, right?

It enjoys devouring spiritual essences and also manipulates people's emotions.

Should we take him away?!

"How about we send her to the nearby Vastaya tribe?"

Nidalee didn't want to see a newborn baby die in the wild.

They had only just left the tribe, and there were quite a few Vastaya tribes in this area. They could leave her on the outskirts of one of the tribes and let them adopt her.

After all, if it were left here, it might die.

But upon hearing Nidalee say she was going to send her away, the little white fox, who had been keeping her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them. If she were to be sent away like this, wouldn't that mean she would lose her prey?!

Ahri originally only wanted to hunt lone individuals, but she waited here for a long time without encountering any. Finally, she met one today, and although there were two of them, Ahri felt it was still worth a try.

If I were to get rid of this one, who knows when I'd meet the next one!

Therefore, she absolutely would not allow this to happen.

Besides, she was born alone and was not adapted to the life of her tribe at all.

Opening her eyes, the little white fox gracefully walked towards Bai Ye, her azure eyes scrutinizing him. To her surprise, when she looked at Bai Ye, his gaze remained completely unchanged.

He seemed completely unafraid of his own illusions.

Back then, as long as her eyes met someone's, that person would fall into the illusion she had created, and in the end, they would surrender their soul.

Although each devoured soul possesses memories of their previous life, Ahri sometimes feels a touch of sympathy for them.

But now she's more like a wild beast with power that she can't control.

Even though she possesses power, she cannot control it, and she desperately wants to absorb essence, because she needs essence to maintain her human form.

"It's staring right at you!"

Nidalee reached out and picked up the little fox.

The little fox struggled for a moment in Nidalee's hand before gracefully jumping off.

That woman has no manners!

The little fox thought to itself, and then, unwilling to give up, continued to look at Bai Ye, wanting to try activating the illusion magic again.

That's why she didn't want to take action against more than two people, because that could lead to unpredictable situations.

"She seems to really like you!"

Nidalee muttered something, somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, she and the little fox should be closer than Bai Ye, right?

Why does this little fox seem so unwilling to get close to me?

Does this mean he likes me?

Bai Ye said with a strange expression, "Didn't she realize that the little fox had been using illusion magic on me all along?"

The first time I didn't fall into the illusion, but the second time it started?

This little fox is really persistent.

"Is not it?"

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Nidalee also looked at Bai Ye with some curiosity. She had a feeling that he thought so, but from what Bai Ye said, she knew that he didn't seem to think so.

"This little fox likes you so much, why don't you take him with you?"

Nidalee, that chatterbox, even wants me to bring the little fox along.

This little fox must be itching to do something to me right now, right?

Bringing the other person along directly—isn't that giving the little fox a chance?

The little fox was secretly pleased, not expecting that Nidalee, this woman, didn't seem so hateful after all.

She had actually felt somewhat discouraged before.

If he couldn't control Bai Ye with illusion magic, then based on what the two of them had talked about earlier, she might be sent away later.

So although she was unwilling, she had no other choice. But if Bai Ye took her away now, she could try many other methods later.

Do you really want me to take her with me?

Ahri is still relatively weak, but has great potential for growth, so it seems like it would be a good idea to bring her along now.

However, it is somewhat dangerous in the early stages.

"But I think she likes you quite a bit."

Nidalee only mentioned it because she saw that the little fox liked Bai Ye very much. If Bai Ye was unwilling, she wouldn't say anything.

After all, you can't force Bai Ye to take the other person away with him.

"Then take it with you."

Bai Ye felt it was unnecessary to sacrifice a potentially valuable combatant just because it was a little dangerous.

Besides, if I'm afraid of Ahri when she's not fully awakened yet...

Then I might as well just quit the business altogether.

Upon hearing that Bai Ye wanted to take her along, a hint of joy flashed across the little fox's face. She also made up her mind that she must absorb Bai Ye's essence later.

He's so strong.

If I absorb the essence, I will definitely become more powerful, or at least be able to maintain my human form for a long time.

Ahri actually felt somewhat guilty about absorbing the essence.

After all, not all of the people you killed were bad people.

However, Ahri's instincts made her want to absorb the essence while also maintaining her human form.

From now on, I'll call you Ahri.

Ahri?

The little fox looked up at Bai Ye with a bewildered expression. Did it now have a name?

Tilting her head, she didn't seem to have much resistance to the name.

just

The little fox also felt a strange and indescribable feeling.

"And you still say you don't like her!"

Nidalee recalled what Bai Ye had just said; she had previously thought that Bai Ye wouldn't bring Ahri along.

It seems that Bai Ye really likes Ah Li now.

"I didn't say I didn't like it, did I?"

Nidalee's thought process left Bai Ye speechless for a moment.

It seems I didn't say anything before.

"Let's go, let's head to town and find a place to stay as soon as possible."

Bai Ye didn't want to rest in the wild, even though the town wasn't exactly safe either.

However, in the wild, there is always the possibility of encountering wild beasts or attacks from Noxus, and Bai Ye does not want to have trouble sleeping at night.

They found a small town nearby. Ahri, nestled in Bai Ye's arms, was pondering how she could absorb Bai Ye's essence, while Nidalee curiously observed everything in the city.

Everything she saw in her eyes was so unfamiliar.

"Haven't you ever been to a city?"

Seeing Nidalee's appearance, Bai Ye asked her curiously.

Has she never been there?

I think there are people in Ixtal's area too, right?

Even if we were to travel from Ixtal to Ionia, we should have encountered each other along the way.
