After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

Chapter 111 Fox Dual Cultivation (Please Subscribe!)

[Back in time: Two thousand years ago, the first encounter with the nine-tailed fox demon]

[The first year of the Demon Calendar, a snowy night]

You become the first human in history to attain enlightenment through cultivation, but the tribulation you attract upon breaking through your cultivation level also makes you the target of everyone's condemnation...

The fox demon is fond of human men with abundant yang energy. She originally wanted to recruit you to Tushan, but because you resisted many times, and indirectly killed two fox demons, Tushan was enraged.

[The Tu Shan clan has dispatched a nine-tailed fox with unparalleled talent, determined to kill you...]

Even if you have no intention to kill, and you fight and retreat, your strength surpasses your opponent's, and you can restore your energy by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

After months of battling the nine-tailed fox, she finally collapsed from exhaustion in the snow, her wild fox eyes fixed on you, filled with resentment and contempt...

You don't want to kill because you need a bridge to communicate with the monsters.

[Furthermore, she is extremely beautiful, which might be part of the reason, but you can't be sure.]

"call..."

Zhang Chen had almost adapted to this body. His consciousness withdrew from the chaos, loss of control, and fragmented memories, and he glanced around.

Two thousand years ago, the snow was much thicker than it is today. Without the obstruction of tall buildings, the plains were covered in snow.

"ha"

A hissing sound, like that of a dog or a cat, came from beneath him, and Zhang Chen realized that he was riding on Miss Fox's back.

Miss Fox's hands were still digging at his arm, making a bloody mess, and she was panting and grimacing as she did so.

Her appearance is not much different from that of two thousand years later, except that her face is dirty, her fangs are sharper, she looks fierce, her fox ears and tail are still not folded up, and her claws are very sharp.

It has nine tails, all snow-white and fluffy, very beautiful.

But a fox that bares its teeth is not a good fox.

Following the plan he had already prepared, Zhang Chen said, "Your demonic energy is exhausted, and you are at your last gasp. There are many demons chasing me, including some who have antagonized your Tushan sect."

"If your enemies find you, you won't live past tonight."

"Goo-hoo—" The nine-tailed fox was still baring its teeth at him.

Zhang Chen raised his hand and slapped her buttocks. This slap wasn't from the original timeline; he just wanted to hit her.

After all, two thousand years from now, he won't be able to slap the fox's ass even if he wants to, so he might as well take advantage of it now and give it a few more whacks.

After being hit like that, the nine-tailed fox immediately stopped breathing, looked dazed, and her eyes lost their light.

"I can save you, but there are conditions." Zhang Chen still had one hand on the fox's waist, ready to slap it down at any moment.

"Ugh..." The nine-tailed fox seemed to have never been treated like this before, and her breath turned into a sob.

"You should try some human food, how about it?"

The nine-tailed fox nodded sweetly, her gaze still fixed on Zhang Chen's hand pressing on her buttocks.

The tutorial ends here; Zhang Chen's memories of the present only go up to this stage.

At this time, my yang energy was also very scarce, and I didn't even have many supernatural abilities.

Zhang Chen truly felt... He was certain that he was a complete scumbag. The moment he saw Tu Shan Han Su, he had already planned how to use this little fox.

At this time, Tu Shan Han Su was clearly not yet human, only knowing how to cultivate and kill. He was a rough gem that could be easily trained.

[Humanity is declining. You are researching a breathing technique that can be practiced without mental cultivation. Even if it is not as good as the demon race, it will still be able to protect yourself.]

[But this is only a temporary measure. Only by having the ability to protect oneself can one negotiate peace with the demon race. However, humans are also suspicious. You need a trustworthy demon to show humans that humans and demons do not necessarily have to be irreconcilable enemies.]

Your mindset has changed.

[Only if the other demons chasing you see you befriending the Nine-Tailed Fox will the Nine-Tailed Fox be branded a traitor by Tushan, placing her on the opposite side of the demon race with no chance of turning back, making her a target of everyone's hatred just like you, can you then feel at ease cooperating with her.]

Furthermore, this nine-tailed fox is simple-minded and can be completely trained into a demon slave. The first step is to gain her trust... You need to integrate her into human life so that she finds it hard to leave.

Although this might harm the fox, she already has a grudge against you for hunting her down, and you feel no remorse for using her.

That's so cruel! How could anyone treat a harpy fox like that?

Zhang Chen decided to follow the original plan for now, even though there seemed to be signs of a bad ending from the very beginning.

The ancestral laws cannot be changed; the key lies in changing one's mindset.

In this current timeline, once he unleashes the yang energy from two thousand years in the future, it's as if he's thrown away a two-dimensional foil, making him completely invincible. He can kill anything in an instant, no matter what he encounters.

First, find out Miss Fox's long-cherished wish before making any plans.

First, a drop of blood was dripped into Xiao Hansu's mouth. The little fox thought it was going to be hit and closed its eyes to prepare for punishment, but in the end it only tasted the sweetness in its mouth.

The next instant, the fox's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She suddenly widened her eyes, staring at Zhang Chen, seemingly wanting to laugh but then stopping herself.

Zhang Chen helped her up. "Can you talk?"

"I will kill you." She said these terrifying words like a robot.

"No rush, let's go to the county town ahead and get some good food before you kill me." Zhang Chen ignored her threat.

"Can you tuck your ears and tail in? They look nice, but they're scary."

"No," she said stiffly.

"So your cultivation level isn't high enough? You look like a complete idiot, you must have just taken human form, right? You're already this strong right after taking human form, no wonder you're a nine-tailed fox."

The fox girl didn't quite understand, but she knew Zhang Chen was praising her, and her tail involuntarily stood up and swayed gently.

In the world of monsters, there is only eating, sleeping, and mating. A monster like her is considered intelligent.

Zhang Chen touched her fox ears and infused them with a large amount of yang energy.

The fox was stunned for a moment, then realized that her ears and tail could be retracted, and her cultivation level increased by more than half.

"Have you ever eaten a human?" Zhang Chen asked.

The fox shook its head.

"Don't all you monsters eat people?"

"Disgusting, I won't eat it."

"Do you have a name?" Zhang Chen asked again.

The fox shook its head again, "I can't read."

The town was heavily guarded. After paying the toll, Zhang Chen led the girl into the town.

The county town of ancient times, if placed in modern times, would at most be considered a village, but it still offers a unique experience.

At least you can see the stars when you look up.

As evening approached, the small town was still quite lively. Every household had kerosene lamps lit, and the aroma of fireworks filled the alleys, all in preparation for the upcoming New Year.

They caught a sesame seed cake shop that was about to close up, and Zhang Chen bought two cakes.

"Eat up, and then you can decide whether you want to kill me."

The fox girl took the cake he offered, and suddenly her expression turned ferocious. She took a large bite, as if hunting prey...

It's sweet, oily, and melts in your mouth.

The fox was like a vegetarian who had lived for hundreds of years, suddenly tasting something that tasted like beef, or like an old ox that had been plowing a field and suddenly ate some incredibly delicious hay, mistaking it for rice.

His eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

"Are you still going to kill me?"

"Eat your fill, then kill more." She mumbled, biting into the pastry like a starving ghost.

"How about I give you a name?"

The fox was so engrossed in eating the pastries that it snatched the one from Zhang Chen's hand as well, and didn't have time to reply to him.

"You belong to the Tushan clan, so your surname is Tushan. It's the twelfth lunar month now, a snowy day, and you're eating shortbread..."

"How about I call you Hansu?"

"Okay." Xiao Hansu readily agreed, without bothering to find out what name Zhang Chen had given her, since she didn't know it anyway.

Zhang Chen looked at her youthful, carefree face and liked her very much.

How can anyone resist something so cute?

How did I transform such a simple little fox into the scheming, sensitive, and pessimistic Tu Shan Han Su two thousand years later?

What a grave sin!

Zhang Chen then took her to eat Laba porridge, candied hawthorn, proper mixed noodles, and proper wine, until the small county town was completely plunged into darkness. Zhang Chen then led her home to stay.

He had a small house in the city, which was rented to him by a young lady from a wealthy family.

"I baked your favorite fish cakes, Brother Chen..."

Unexpectedly, the girl in exquisite Hanfu who was sitting at the door was sitting there, half asleep, warming a bag of fish cakes with her body. She suddenly perked up when she saw him.

If this were modern times, Zhang Chen could simply call her Su Qinghe.

In this life, the girl is named Su Qinghe. When Zhang Chen wandered to this county town and had no fixed abode, it was Su Qinghe who gave him a place to stay.

But now, the moment Miss Su saw him holding Tu Shan Han Su's hand, her eyes instantly lost all their luster.

"Brother Chen, she is...?"

"Fiancée." These were words Zhang Chen was unwilling to say.

This is something he would definitely say in this timeline.

He had long known of Su Qinghe's feelings, and with the appearance of Tu Shan Hansu, he could just resolve a lingering romantic entanglement.

"Fiancée? Oh, okay... So Brother Chen doesn't want to reciprocate my feelings because he already has a suitable match?"

"Um.

"

"Alright, alright..." Su Qinghe's gaze slowly lowered, her head slightly bowed, and her smile vanished completely. "These fish cakes are still warm, you, you should eat them while you can."

She put down the fish cake, ran away, leaving behind a trail of sobs.

Tu Shan Han Su was being led by the hand with one hand, while she was still munching on a pastry with the other. As if sensing the sadness in her heart, she slowed down her eating.

"Why don't you stay for the New Year?" Zhang Chen asked her with a smile.

"What year?" Xiao Hansu asked, confused.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but pinch her cheek, and the fox girl looked at him with a strange expression.

"Would you like to cultivate with me?" she asked. "I haven't found a man to use for 'essence extraction' yet."

"We'll talk about that later. Are you still going to kill me?"

"If you cultivate with me, I won't kill you," Tu Shan Han Su said. "You're good-looking, and your blood tastes good; you're suitable for dual cultivation."

The first signs are emerging.

"..." Zhang Chen seemed to have confirmed it. Sure enough, the nonsense that Tu Shan Han Su told two thousand years later was all reversed.

The one who's really craving the body isn't him, it's the roasted fox.

"Okay, I'll cultivate with you, but we need to develop our relationship first."

"Why?" Tu Shan Han Su tilted her head. "My sisters, they just grab whoever looks good and start dual cultivation with them, without any feelings involved."

"I don't like people, they're disgusting, but you're not disgusting." She stuck out her tongue and slurped a taste of Zhang Chen's still-healing wound.

"Human customs are different. You have to show me your sincerity first. For example, you need to understand my hobbies, increase my favorability, give me a gift to express your feelings, and make a romantic confession. Only if I agree can we cultivate together."

"?" Tu Shan Han Su frowned, only vaguely understanding what Zhang Chen was saying, but she also understood that feelings were a very sacred thing.

into the night.

And so he started living with Miss Fox, and before he knew it, the New Year had passed, and before he knew it, they had become a well-known couple in the neighborhood.

After that, Zhang Chen deliberately guided the little fox, making her not think about Tushan, not think about humans and demons, but only devote herself to the mundane life of the human world.

However, they also did some things that wouldn't have happened in the original timeline.

In the first year, Tu Shan Han Su tried all the snacks in the small county town, but she still liked shortbread the most. She often got angry with Zhang Chen, asking why he had given her the name of a snack.

Zhang Chen always told her that it sounded delicious, just like her.

The fox thought Zhang Chen was taking advantage of her lack of education, so she decided to learn many characters next year and give Zhang Chen an unpleasant name.

The following year, Zhang Chen taught the little fox to read, but after more than half a year, it still couldn't remember many words.

Zhang Chen asked her what the first phrase she learned was, and she said, "I'll kill you."

Zhang Chen was embarrassed and asked her if she wanted to learn the second sentence, but she felt it was pointless again, that she was only enthusiastic for three minutes, and that she would learn it later.

In the third year, Miss Su from next door still frequently came to visit and became good friends with Tu Shan Han Su, because Miss Su could make fish cakes, which she liked to eat.

On Qixi Festival, Miss Su asked her why she hadn't married Zhang Chen yet, and she said she didn't know.

Tu Shan Han Su came to ask Zhang Chen again that evening when they would get married, even though she didn't even know what marriage meant.

Zhang Chen promised her that he would choose an auspicious day next year.

In the fourth year, Zhang Chen took her to the Yue Lao Temple in the county town to have their wedding ceremony. The old woman wished them a long and happy marriage.

The little fox felt that the old woman was scolding her. What was the difference between living only a hundred years and being cursed to be struck by lightning as soon as she went out?

Zhang Chen explained to her that humans can only live for a maximum of one hundred years.

Tu Shan Han Su was stunned for a long time, not understanding, but she knew that she seemed to have done some incredible ritual with someone.

She told Miss Su that she was married, but Miss Su cried for several nights because she hadn't had any fish cakes to eat.

In the fifth year, Tu Shan Han Su was drinking Zhang Chen's blood every day, and she increasingly wanted to cultivate with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen refused her request, explaining that he hadn't reached the maximum level of affection for her.

She didn't understand how to increase favorability, but she knew that without Zhang Chen's blood, she might not survive.

In the sixth year, bird demons visiting from the sky became more and more common, and it seemed that the year when monsters would come out of the mountains to hunt was approaching again. More soldiers were sent to the county town, and the smiles on the faces of the people were decreasing.

Zhang Chen hadn't taken Tu Shan Han Su out to eat for a whole year, and she had almost forgotten whether she was a monster or a human.

Miss Su was not yet married, so she chose to become a Taoist nun and often came to talk to Tu Shan Han Su.

Tu Shan Han Su asked Miss Su why she wasn't married yet, why she became a Taoist priest, and what goodwill and love were.

Miss Su's resolve was almost shattered by the questioning; she cried for a long time before finally telling her...

Her relationship with Zhang Chen was one of love.

Tu Shan Han Su secluded himself for half a year to ponder this sentence.

In the seventh year, Tu Shan Han Su emerged from seclusion. She grabbed Zhang Chen and said that she must cultivate with him.

Zhang Chen resorted to the old-fashioned tactics, making it clear that his favorability rating wasn't maxed out.

Tu Shan Han Su is going crazy. In order to seduce Zhang Chen, she has cultivated a bewitching divine power.

Zhang Chen remained unmoved.

Tu Shan Han Su went to ask Miss Su, and Miss Su told her that she should perhaps go and read some books and practice her calligraphy.

She believed it, and after many years she started learning to read again. She learned the second sentence.

"I love you".

But she couldn't bring herself to say it; she would blush whenever she saw that sentence.

Compared to many years ago, she learns much faster now, and she doesn't know why.

In the eighth year, Zhang Chen spent a long time brewing a wine for her that even a fox could drink.

On Qixi Festival that year, Tu Shan Han Su got drunk and repeated her second sentence to Zhang Chen several times.

Zhang Chen looked at the girl, her face flushed from the wine. Her skin was like jade, her eyes like full moons, and her lips like cinnabar. She was very playful as she hiccuped and poured out her love. Her nine tails gently wrapped around him, begging him to cultivate together.

Zhang Chen almost couldn't resist, but after persisting for so many years, he decided to postpone it until 2000.

Miss Su listened to their commotion outside the house. Even though she was a Taoist nun who was almost thirty, she still kept crying.

In the ninth year, the time for the monster hunt was approaching. People in the county were filled with fear and no one was in the mood to celebrate the New Year. Going out of the town risked being eaten by monsters.

It is said that the imperial court has been captured, and most of the people in the capital have died. Monsters are sucking the souls of the living, but the human world has been at peace for too long without war. Without war, there are no dead, and the dead are not enough for the monsters to devour their remaining souls. Therefore, the monsters will launch a massacre...

Su Qinghe arrived at Zhang Chen's house again, took off her Taoist robe, and put on the dress she used to wear often.

"Sister Qinghe is here? Are there still fish cakes?" Nine years have passed, and Tu Shan Hansu is still the same as before, learning to write in the courtyard, only her silly nature has changed a lot.

She's become more human.

"Han Su, nine years have passed, and Brother Chen has already grown old with graying hair and is over thirty. Why haven't you changed at all?" Su Qinghe asked.

Tu Shan Han Su was stunned. Looking at Su Qing He, she realized that the other woman had more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her skin was not as fair as it had been nine years ago.

Nine years is nothing more than a breath for her.

Zhang Chen returned carrying a basket of fish. Seeing the two women's condition, he sighed and told Tu Shan Hansu to go upstairs first.

Only Su Qinghe and Zhang Chen remained in the courtyard.

The girl had lost her former naiveté; her eyes were filled with resentment and despair. She sobbed, "Brother Chen, why didn't you tell me that Han Su was a demon?"

"I never said she was a person." Zhang Chen put down the basket.

He also found it hard to believe that this trip back in time would last for nine years.

Zhang Chen didn't get tired of living with Tu Shan Han Su at all, and didn't even want to return to reality.

He too will grow old; he's almost thirty, and time has etched its mark on his face.

"Now that war is raging outside the city, you've betrayed our people and are living with monsters here! Brother Chen, if you had known this would happen, why did you save me from the monsters' jaws in the first place?!"

"There are good demons and good people," Zhang Chen said. "Your affection of more than ten years has been misplaced."

"Zhang Chen! I swore I would marry no one but you. What does it matter if you don't marry me? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Are all these years of affection just a passing cloud? Am I the kind of woman who would let you down?"

66

"7

Su Qinghe cried tears of blood, just like nine years ago, and left after dropping the fish cakes.

Zhang Chen picked up the fish cake, knowing that he had to protect this county town.

According to the original timeline, the monsters would soon arrive, and Zhang Chen abandoned the small town to protect Tu Shan Han Su.

At the critical moment of their escape, Su Qinghe tried to find him to escape with her, but she couldn't find him and wasted time. In the end, she died tragically in the hunt by the demons.

Even Zhang Chen couldn't protect Tu Shan Han Su. To avoid being a burden to him, Miss Fox took the initiative to cover his retreat, but was eventually captured by Tu Shan and taken back.

This is the damn place.

There was also a wise old fox demon on Mount Tu who saw through his plan and told Tu Shan Han Su the truth.

But this time, things will be different.

At least he won't run away.

"Zhang Chen..."

Just then, Miss Fox, looking at him with concern from the attic, asked, "What's wrong, Sister Qinghe?"

"It's alright." Zhang Chen smiled at her. "Next year, we'll cultivate together."

"Really?" Tu Shan Han Su beamed with a smile, just like a child who never grew up.

Although she was smiling, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Chen's increasingly thick stubble.

The fox girl touched her chin; it was still as smooth and clean as ever.

A sense of loss and uncertainty filled her heart.

The tenth year.

The demon horde besieged the city. Zhang Chen went out alone and with a light touch, a natural chasm tore through the mountains, and the floodwaters poured down, preventing the demon horde from advancing.

Especially since the water is electrified, anyone who steps in will be electrocuted to dust.

After three days of continuous flooding, the demons dispersed, and the city erupted in cheers, all believing it to be a divine intervention. The county magistrate excitedly spent money to re-hang the rotten plaque on the city wall.

Only then did Zhang Chen realize that this county town was Ning'an.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about returning to his little home and continuing his carefree life with Miss Fox.

Since the system didn't let him go back, it means he can continue.

But when he returned home, only Su Qinghe was there, alone, holding a fish cake.

Zhang Chen paused.

"She went back to her Tushan," Su Qinghe said. "Brother Chen, she said she saw you killing demons outside the city."

"Among the demons is an old fox demon from Tushan. She received a message from the old demon saying that you have ulterior motives and are plotting something sinister. She was not convinced and wanted to go back to Tushan to kill that old demon."

Zhang Chen smiled wryly. No matter how the timeline was changed, he would still have to go to Tushan once.

I have to make another trip.

"Brother Chen," Su Qinghe called out to him, "Are you doing this for Ning'an, or for her? If it weren't for her, would you be guarding Ning'an City?"

Zhang Chen considered for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's also for you."

Su Qinghe was stunned, tears streaming down her face. "You were just trying to comfort me, weren't you?"

Zhang Chen didn't say anything.

"Brother Chen, will you be coming back after this trip?"

"It's hard to say."

"Brother Chen, may I draw a picture of you protecting the city all by yourself?"

"Just don't draw your face on."

After saying that, Zhang Chen's consciousness fell out of this world.

Two thousand years later, Ning'an City remains peaceful.

Tu Shan Han Su lay on the swing and swayed. Since Zhang Chen wasn't there, the rat had to push the swing in his place.

The eldest mouse wasn't tall enough, so he had to stack several mice together to push it.

Miss Fox closed her eyes, and two more tails appeared behind her, accidentally sending the mice flying.

"Hoo..." She opened her eyes.

Gazing at the unchanging sky for two thousand years, until the mountains disappeared and the fishing lights flickered dimly.

"Nonsense."

He spat lightly, but it was a laugh.
