Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

"His father, as the previous generation container, definitely had more than one son.

"He, as the container of this generation, is at the age of optimum fertility, and yet has no sons?"

In the dimly lit small room, Huang Sitong frowned, a strange thought suddenly flashing through her mind. After pondering for a moment, she felt she might have actually guessed the truth of the matter.

She hesitated for a moment, but eventually spoke up.

"Actually, I’ve been thinking, there’s a big difference between modern times and ancient times.

"In ancient times, if you couldn’t resist the urge to sow the seed, you’d probably have a kid.

"In modern times, if you sow the seed impulsively, you can totally avoid having a kid."

Flowerpot Ancient Immortal shook his head.

"No!

"Yaochi Holy Land’s secret techniques naturally consider every aspect.

"You mean, the container would pull out at the last moment?

"Impossible!

"Yaochi Holy Land’s secret techniques impart a certain madness, making it impossible for the container to pull out at the last moment!"

Huang Sitong blushed deeply.

Master drives a like a pro!

As a modern female college student, she’s actually heard such jokes, understands these details.

But in front of Master, she still feels the need to blush.

She coughed lightly.

"Actually... Master...

"I say modern and ancient are different because, nowadays, you don’t need to pull out to avoid having a kid.

"In modern times, there’s a thing called... a condom."

Huang Sitong explained this matter to the two Ancient Immortal Masters, her face growing redder.

The more she explained, the redder her face became.

While the faces of the two ancient immortals grew darker!

In the end, Flowerpot Ancient Immortal and Ancient Plow Immortal exchanged glances, smiling wryly.

"Heh.

"Heh heh heh!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"This..."

Huang Sitong found the matter silly and amusing, wanting to laugh herself.

But she sensed the atmosphere was off.

She looked up, seeing her two masters, amidst their bitter smiles, shedding tears in the flickering candlelight.

"Condom?

"Condom?

"Condom!

"Generations of immortal elixirs passed down through thousands of years without error, and now destroyed by this condom?"

Huang Sitong didn’t understand.

"Master, why the rush?

"Isn’t the immortal elixir still inside Song Xiangshuai?"

The two ancient immortals wiped away their tears, saying little.

Yaochi Holy Land’s inherited immortal elixirs were not just one Harlan Zhongli! Methodologically similar transmission was not limited to just this one.

The emergence of this "condom" nearly singlehandedly transmitted lineage! The immortal grass must release drug power to protect the container! This drug power fluctuation spreads unknowingly, detected by countless people!

Like this Harlan Zhongli, like this container Song Xiangshuai, who should have quietly waited to remove Harlan Zhongli, fulfill his mission. Instead, the fluctuation spreads, attracting countless people’s gaze!

"Sigh... years of millions gone by, anything could happen.

"We shouldn’t be too pessimistic.

"At least, the condom hasn’t appeared long.

"At least Harlan Zhongli has successfully been transmitted till now.

"Sitong, start brewing recovery soup."

Flowerpot Ancient Immortal took out a recipe from his sleeve, handing it to Huang Sitong.

Then he took out a box, opening it to reveal turtle shell fragments and talisman paper inside.

Huang Sitong glanced at it.

"Sigh? Making this recovery soup requires turtle shell fragments and talisman paper?"

What’s the link between talisman paper and alchemy dao?

Turtle shell fragments barely count as ingredients, but the markings on the turtle shell seem like divination tools?

...

Under the gloomy clouds, fierce winds howled, blowing sand into the Bronze Hall.

Bai Mo put down the last piece of documentation.

"The excavation of the Withered Grass Garden is nearing completion."

By now, discovered documents and failed plans are dwindling.

There are more suicide letters from Sequence Seven Firemen, who’ve toiled yet never revived the immortal grass!

Bai Mo didn’t overlook any detail, meticulously studying each bit.

Then he moved the computer from the table’s other side, checking the notes on it.

"Hmm, everything’s normal with the Purple Earth Dragon.

"The resurrection of the Ghost Cry Tree is still underway.

"The resurrection of the Water-Sucking Thunder Bell is missing three herbs, which are being cultivated now..."

Upon further inspection, the work at Fox Mountain was smoothly proceeding.

He relaxed, settling onto the sofa, crossing his legs, and sipping some tea.

Recalling Song Xiangshuai, he redirected the surveillance from the Black Stone Bone, displaying images mid-air.

The screen showed current reality in the dead of night. Song Xiangshuai lay in a dark bedroom, hugging a new phone with his face illuminated by the screen, happily chatting with online friends, sometimes posting a pic of his abs, and other times letting out sleazy laughter... Long story short, he’s chatting with female netizens.

"Where exactly did this kid hide Harlan Zhongli?"

Bai Mo savored his tea, smacking his lips.

He recalled, confirming Song Xiangshuai’s methods involved more than just alchemy dao! Hiding Harlan Zhongli entailed arrays, talismans, divination, and other immortal techniques, forming a multifaceted cross-arrangement problem.

"Yaochi Holy Land really is impressive."

Black Stone Bone’s surveillance displayed picture-in-picture, offering multiple angles, varied viewpoints.

Bai Mo switched views, seeing a mouse beneath Song Xiangshuai’s bed, nestled quietly by the foot of the bed, unmoving.

"Such a large bedroom, expensive house, great decor, yet mice get in? Or is it... an immortal beast mouse?"

Bai Mo sneered.

Within various angles, he spotted a few scarlet talismans stuck under Song Xiangshuai’s bed!

He noticed the floor painted with colorless potion, forming an odd array map!

He also saw a green hanging orchid on the windowsill, with teeth growing in the center!

Even the female netizen Song Xiangshuai was chatting with was sending voice songs tinged with spiritual lure!

Bai Mo blew off floating tea flowers and took another sip.

"This kid, from birth till now, is likely being intensely scrutinized at this level for the first time."

...

Brilliant sunlight spilled onto the office’s window ledge.

Fang Xiaoyu finished a file and opened the Black Cat website, starting to shop for clothes.

"Wow, it’s the latest model!

"But it’s so expensive...

"Sigh? Not really, I’ve got a raise, I can go for it!"

Big Nose perched on her desk, cocking its head, noticing her screen and feeling puzzled.

What’s the allure here?

Suddenly, Big Nose’s eyes were glued to the children’s jacket recommended on the shopping page!

This bright red jacket, looks like master’s windbreaker!

"Woof..."

Fang Xiaoyu following its gaze, saw the recommended item, clicked into its details.

"Huh? You like this?

"Let me pet you, and I’ll buy it!"

Big Nose inclined its head, giving her a sidelong glance.

Petting for clothes?

Doesn’t the fox care about dignity?!

So... it extended its front paw, lifting its chin, signaling Fang Xiaoyu to touch its paw.

Nearby, Bai Mo submitted a new task.

Reflecting deeply.

"The committee does have a few tricks..."

The task result, due to its involving alchemy dao resources, bypassed Professor Zhang, sent instead to Su Yaoyao.

Su Yaoyao’s message swiftly arrived.

[Both reactions from the Immortal Grass Detector are related to this Song Xiangshuai?]

Over time, the Immortal Grass Detector reacted twice consecutively, prompting the committee to thoroughly investigate the surrounding 50-mile radius, examining surveillance, reports, hospital records, shopping, personnel entries, etc., using big data methods to precisely pinpoint Song Xiangshuai, injured on the corresponding two occasions!

[Seems like it. Last time, on a rainy day, he slept at someone else’s home with their wife, got caught by the husband, beaten bloody.]

[This time, Yang Zhan cornered him in the bathroom for a thrashing, also beaten bloody]

[Curiously, the Immortal Grass Detector reacted during these specific times]

Su Yaoyao responded immediately.

[I get it! I’m deploying now!]

[According to regulations, this matter must be kept secret from Professor Zhang, remember!]
