Inside the cave, when they ran inside, there was two white six tail snow foxes. They were both very small and cute, but their parents were ferocious. The two foxes had just hatched, and when they saw Zang Wai they purred with delight.
They were under their mother's butt and she was unaware they had hatched. Hence, when Zeng Bai scared away his parents, the first thing they saw was Zang Wai, and Shen Ju.
One of them, very cutely, purred before Shen Ju smiled and bent down.
Zang Wai did the same thing, and the six-tail snow foxes approached and purred. Shen Ju turned over to Zang Wai and smiled.
"Awww, they seem to think we're their parents… Now you don't have to worry about fighting them."
Zang Wai couldn't believe his luck, nor could he believe they were in eggs. "Uhmm, yeah, but why are they in eggs," he asked picked up the cute snow fox from the cobblestone. "Shouldn't they have been birthed naturally?"
If the goddess was here, she would have told Zang Wai that this world was different. Since the animals were strong, most of them laid eggs instead of carrying their children. The reason parents normally carried their young inside of them was to protect them. However, what was the point of this if you were already terrifying?
Needless to say, Zang Wai was happy to be holding the six tail snow fox, and a second later it licked his face before Shen Ju rubbed his shoulder.
"I…I think you'll never find a chance like this again, Zang Wai. We might just be two of the luckiest people in the universe at this moment! Perhaps someone is looking out for you?"
Zang Wai shook his head thinking of the Lolli Goddess. "Ha, no… believe me, this was probably just luck!" After all, who would help him here besides the goddess, and she was so busy. In fact, most people hated him for his talents.
In his last life, his teacher clearly hated him, her five daughters that wanted him to steal their purity hated him, and then there was that dog next door. It always barked at him and was not nearly as cute as this snow fox.
Rather than contemplating fate, though, he picked up the fox and hugged it against his bosom. It was then that he ran out of the cave with Shen Ju. Each of them had a holy rank monster in their hands as Zeng Bai waved towards them.
"Heh! Those two parents were easier to take care of then I thought. However, young ones… that's a nice haul you got there!"
Zeng Bai looked smug as he approached the two foxes. He had just dealt with the parents, and even though he didn't kill them, the two foxes growled at him as he approached.
"Yes, we were really lucky geezer! Now, can you please get us out of here before the parents return!"
"Uhm… they should be sleeping for a while," the old man replied. "Why don't we walk around the ben, so I can teach you how to store your pet, Zang Wai?"
Zang Wai pet the little fox and nodded his head in agreement. He'd been wanting to capture a pet his entire life, and he was quite a big fan of series with captured pets. In the past, he'd read a few wuxia novels and one of his favorite was buy I Eat Plankton. His story called Desolate Beasts was good.
Shen Ju looked worried, though, and had a feeling that the two parents would soon approach. Be that as it may, she held Zang Wai's hand as her big bulging mounds sort of jiggled as she ascended the hill. She had the fox in her hands and the touch seemed to quiet her worries.
"Alright… so, time to teach you how to use a portal!" Zeng Bai drew a doorway with his fingers on top of the hill. It took just a moment for a doorway to appear and then a dragon eye could be seen.
"You two whipper snappers have already met Hong! Now, though, try and copy what I did to summon the capture space."
Shen Ju immediately took to it with a smile on her face. She was so jolly and so pretty that it distracted Zang Wai from appreciating what Zeng Bai had just shown him.
"So… like this," Shen Ju said as her fingers sketched in the air. She immediately caused a portal to open before the fox tilted its head in confusion.
"Yes… now just push the little guy in there, and…. wait, how lucky am I, HAHAHAHAHA. An old ancestor like me already found two demon spiritualists right after I killed someone. Are the gods trying to say thank you for my hard work?"
He'd spent months trailing his students shadow, but now he had two rare replacements. Demon spiritualists were able to create a portal to their soul capture space, and inside their internal world pets could live and unite with their owners. Hence, Shen Ju now had a gorgeous fox that was worth all her efforts.
She looked over at Zang Wai, though, who was struggling to create a portal.
"Ding! System is activating assistant capture mode!"
A gigantic portal appeared in front of Zang Wai, and like it had a straw, the fox was soon sucked up. Be that as it may, Shen Ju who was also by his side felt a tug on her dress causing her marble, beautiful legs to shiver.
At this moment, the old man gawked and smiled with glee. "Ha! You both are prodigies! Yes, well, let's get back to the sect before something tries to kill me! There I can teach you two younglings to cultivate." He blinked his extremely wrinkly eyes a few times to try and correct his vision.
There was a vigorous aura that seemed to be calling him somewhere in the forest. He'd been looking for a new pet to capture for ages, and even with his two new students, his heart sensed a fierce dragon aura. These auras were both rare and a good omen.
Then if he captured it, his longevity would increase… He was already 400,000 years old and dragons were exceptionally rare!
"Heh… Shen Ju… I noticed you had something on your back a few minutes ago. Forgive this old man for taking a look. I'm going to remove the seal your dad put on you to conceal your cultivation. However, when I do this, please protect Zang Wai until I get back."
He appeared behind her back and a mark appeared by her shoulder blades that he provoked with his touch. Shen Ju turned backwards oddly as she was confused as to what he meant. Also, she wasn't sure how she felt about this old man touching her.
For some reason, she felt extremely comfortable around Zang Wai, and his body felt nice to touch. It was like she's meant to be his… and she really didn't wish to be touched by unwelcomed hands.
"I promise I won't do anything weird to you lass. Your dad must have been an eighth rank spiritual array expert to make this seal… Still I will remove it for you, and you'll protect Zang Wai for this old man, okay?"
"Wait… so my dad made me suffer all this time in the desert for a reason?" This revelation to Shen Ju was exactly not what she was expecting. After all, her dad was an extremely strong man at the essence gathering stage…
One night when she was asleep, he must have put this on her back. That night he left was so extremely disappointing for her, and she regretted ever going to sleep!
A light that seemed to be a star bloomed on her back, and then the array broke under the spell.
"Yes, and I also have a feeling he wanted to keep you away from men. You're gorgeous young lass, hahahahaha!"
Zeng Bai then turned to Zang Wai and pulled out a map from his storage capture space. "Heh, you two forgive this man he hasa chance to increase his age! I sense a dragon in the area, and… I'm sorry to have to abandon you beautiful younglings. I'll be back with a dragon, or die trying!"
"Uhmm, good luck sir ancestor…. Thank you for unlocking my powers!" Shen Ju felt her bodies power soaring, and Zang Wai was still trying to figure out what to do.
"You mean, you're giving me a map in a forest that I've never been to before. Leaving me here with a girl who may or may not be strong, and you're also telling me there is a dragon that can make you live longer! Well, good luck I suppose!" He folded his arms before Shen Ju mounted his back with her legs.
"Zang Wai, im sorry, but he's already gone." Shen Ju said as her pelvis rammed into his head. "However, this means we can start our adventure! Come on, let's go before we get struck by the flames of the dragon!"
Zang Wai sighed before the girl dismounted and began tugging him into the unknown forest. Inside of his body, he heard a small fox coo, and he began to wonder about what this world had in store.
