Chapter 2365: A Dragons Head, Deer Antlers, Lions Eyes, and a Tigers Back

They had stayed in the forest for some time. Judging by the speed of Yi Liangs cultivation, he should be able to form a strand of energy by now.

Yi Liang stood up, clenched his fist, and punched the tree next to him fiercely. An animal with a dragons head, deer antlers, lions eyes, and a tigers back roared out of his fist.

Ning Shu blinked. That was a qilin!

The qilin jumped and slammed into the big tree. The tree trembled violently and the snow on its branches fell.

The entire tree then creaked and fell to the ground.

Yi Liang stared blankly at the fallen tree. Hed just broken a tree with a single punch.

That punch was so powerful. Yi Liang looked at his fist, then turned to Ning Shu and said excitedly, Xiao Hei, I did it! I succeeded!

Congratulations, Ning Shu said with some relief. But this is only the first step. After this, remember to compress the gas shape so it turns golden. Then, you must compress that spiritual energy again until it becomes water-like.

If I do that, will I become extremely strong? Yi Liang asked. He was incomparably excited.

P-probably. I havent cultivated to that point, so Ning Shu vaguely answered.

Im sure Ill become stronger. Yi Liang was confident. He felt full of strength, and he believed absolutely that he was bound to become stronger.

Xiao Hei, I want to go back now to the town and investigate my sisters disappearance, Yi Liang said to Ning Shu.

Okay. Ning Shu didnt object.

Yi Liang hugged Ning Shu and said in a slightly choked voice. Fortunately Im so lucky that youre by my side. Thank you, thank you.

Yi Liangs tears wet Ning Shus fur. In the end, Yi Liang couldnt hold back his emotions and burst into tears.

Hed been suppressing his emotions, but now that hed cried, Yi Liang felt more relaxed and happier than ever before.

Ning Shu moved her ears away. Hed been wailing in her ears. She felt like she was going deaf.

Ah! You guys are leaving now? Are you going to a place where there are loads of people? Take me! Take me with you! Lets go now! the little fox jumped out and anxiously said.

Ning Shu: _

Thank you for taking care of us until now. Were leaving, Yi Liang said.

They had been there since it was cold and snowing. Now the snow was beginning to melt and ice was slowly breaking to reveal the running water below it. Weeds were also sprouting from the ground.

Winter was over.

After spending so much time with the little fox, Yi Liang was very grateful to him.

Hed sometimes give them some food, although he also often tormented them with his illusions.

Worse, the little foxs illusion was getting more powerful, and some illusions could remind people of the experience they wished to forget most.

Yi Liang was often forced to repeatedly relive his painful past, especially his parents and sisters disappearances.

He saw his parents being murdered by the demonic cultivator. He heard them cry out to him for help, but he couldnt do anything. Whenever he rushed over, hed pa.s.s through the illusion.

The voices of his parents echoed in his ears.

When it was about his sisters disappearance, hed hear his sister begging for help from somewhere unknown.

Everything felt so real.

For some time, Yi Liang could neither eat nor sleep. His entire body broke down.

It was Ning Shu who made it stop by beating up the little fox. She didnt allow him to give Yi Liang any more illusions.

If the illusions went on, itd progressively worsen Yi Liangs inner demons.

The little fox left Yi Liang alone for a bit.

However, he switched targets and tried to figure out Ning Shus inner demons, as well as the things she cared about.

Then Ning Shu fell asleep in the little foxs illusion, frustrating the little fox.

He kept trying to defeat Ning Shu. He went so far as to show her the worlds shed experienced over and over again.

Ning Shu just looked at those worlds with a dazed expression. Those people were simply pa.s.sersby in her life.

Some of those people, however, had a good relations.h.i.+p with her. Ning Shu had to thank the little fox for allowing her to see them again.

Still, since Ning Shus heart stayed unperturbed, it made the little fox want to scratch her to death.
