What Ji Yuan stepped on with his foot was not just a tail, it was more like he stepped on some vital point. The wealthy man felt that not only could he not turn back into a fox and escape, he couldn't even fart to save his life. He felt a little weak.
The key point is that in this situation, the wealthy man even has difficulty turning around and kneeling down. He can only turn sideways and keep bowing his hands to beg for mercy.
"Don't be so impatient. I won't do anything to you. Sit down."
Ji Yuan said this, and took the initiative to let go of the foot that was stepping on the other person's tail. He picked up a chair nearby, dragged it away and sat down.
The wealthy man wanted to escape as soon as he felt that he was not under control, but he did not move in the end. It was not because his mind was at a high level, but simply because he felt a chill down his spine when being stared at by the golden armor. He was so scared that he did not dare to move.
"Hey... I'll just stand..."
Although Fu Tai didn't dare to escape, he also didn't dare to sit down. He just stood next to the table, looking back and forth between Ji Yuan and the tall man in golden armor.
At this time, the little paper crane no longer lay on the window outside the house to watch, but squeezed directly into the window hole, flapped its wings and flew to Ji Yuan's shoulder, looking at this vixen boldly from a close distance.
He is very different from Hu Yun, and also very different from the ones I have seen before. He can obviously become a human, but he feels much worse than Hu Yun.
In contrast, the wealthy man was also subconsciously attracted by the small paper crane, and he looked towards the window. He had just heard an extremely ferocious dog barking, which scared him so much that his heart almost jumped out. Now not only was there no movement, but a paper bird also flew in.
"How long have you occupied this Wei's manor?"
Ji Yuan asked this question suddenly, and the wealthy man subconsciously shuddered and his attention returned to Ji Yuan.
"In reply to your question, sir, it won't be long, at most three months, and we haven't occupied the entire manor, we just borrowed a few houses for use. The Wei family has long been deserted, and we are not occupying it by force!"
The wealthy man spoke much calmer, and his condition was indeed much better than those who had escaped before.
Ji Yuan nodded, stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, picked the chicken with his tongue and teeth and spit out a bone, then put it on the table with his hands. Looking at the table again, there were basically many cups and plates in a mess, and there were even some bowls and pots that were knocked over by the fox when they were scattering. He only picked up a few pieces of cakes.
"Besides transforming into different shapes, do you have any other abilities?"
Ji Yuan could see that these foxes had very low levels of spiritual power. Even if they could transform into human-like appearances, they were just wearing fake skins and clothes to pretend to be human.
"Well, sir, besides being able to transform into a human at night, I can also confuse ordinary people if they are in a bad mental state. I can also find and recognize more than a dozen kinds of herbs and dig them out without damaging the roots. Oh, and I can also catch mice and pheasants, climb trees, and go down to rivers..."
Ji Yuan, who was biting a piece of pastry, was obviously stunned for a moment. What a great skill!
But this is normal. Except for the monsters that really have an inheritance system, many monsters practice by themselves. Even though Hu Yun couldn't even transform into a human at the beginning, he was much better than these foxes in terms of Taoism.
Hearing the wealthy man still talking about his abilities, Ji Yuan quickly interrupted him.
"Not bad, not bad. You have some skills. Then how did you get all these food and wine on the table? Did you just get them by chance?"
Ji Yuan ate the three pieces of pastries in his palm, and put some of the pastry crumbs in his palm into his mouth. When he looked at the table again, he could not find any food that had not been gnawed or stepped on. However, when he looked down, he saw a plate lying on the ground under the table. The pastries inside could be seen from the cracks in the broken bottom of the plate.
Ji Yuan's face immediately broke into a smile. He bent down, turned over the broken plates, and picked up several pieces of snacks that were either intact or broken into pieces. Compared to eating food that had been stepped on or bitten by the fox, he didn't mind the food that fell on the ground. He brushed off the dust on the pastries and blew away, then put them in his mouth to chew and taste.
"Well, we don't have any money... Some of the food and drinks were indeed obtained in an unjust way, but we remember where and from whom they came, and we will definitely compensate them in the future!"
Ji Yuan said "Oh", finished the last bit of pastry, turned sideways and looked at the man straight in the eye.
"what's your name?"
"Well, the little fox named himself Huli."
Ji Yuan was happy to hear this. This name was also very honest. He glanced towards the back door.
“Woof woof woof~~~”
The little paper crane on his shoulder suddenly let out a fierce barking sound, and there was another panicky commotion outside the back door.
It turned out that many of the foxes that had escaped before had quietly come back. They were just about to lie outside and observe the situation secretly when they were suddenly scared by the little paper crane.
Seeing that his barking was effective again, the little paper crane on Ji Yuan's shoulder flapped its wings happily, floated three inches high and landed on Ji Yuan's shoulder again.
Hu Li, who was standing next to him, was also frightened and trembled violently. At the same time, he was also sure that the barking sound was actually made by this paper bird.
"Okay, stop scaring them."
Ji Yuan patted the little paper crane on his shoulder twice, straightened his clothes, crossed his legs on the chair, and looked at Hu Li with a smile.
"Where did you originally practice, and how many of your kind have awakened to spiritual wisdom?"
Hu Li had previously thought that he had met a powerful exorcist, and Jin Jia should be his apprentice or something like that. However, after seeing the little paper crane, especially after seeing the little paper crane's spirituality, he suddenly realized that this was no longer as simple as meeting an ordinary master.
"In reply to your question, sir, we originally practiced in Yulin Mountain, gathering together to breathe in the essence of the sun and moon, absorbing spiritual energy, and relying on each other's support, there are now a total of 27 foxes that have awakened their spiritual wisdom, and they are all here just now..."
Hu Li was still playing a trick. Actually, there were a total of thirty-two foxes with awakened spiritual powers, and there were only twenty-seven of them here just now. Since Ji Yuan had seen them all, he simply said that there were a total of twenty-seven.
"Oh, that's quite a lot!"
Ji Yuan didn’t completely believe Hu Li’s words, but it didn’t matter whether they were true or false.
"Oh, yes. A while ago, we heard that it was more comfortable outside and we could learn more from people, which would be helpful for our cultivation. There were also suitable places, so some of us came out first. After we had established our foothold, all of us came out... Oh, by the way, we didn't harm the Wei family. You'll know if you ask around in the city. It was all the Wei family's fault!"
"I know."
Ji Yuan looked at Hu Li calmly, and suddenly said lightly.
"I have a great opportunity to give you. It depends on whether you dare to seize it and whether you can seize it."
'good fortune?'
Hu Li's heart moved, and he carefully took a step closer to Ji Yuan, bent down, lowered his head and said.
"Sir, can you explain it more clearly? What is this good fortune? Well, if we join the imperial army to fight, we can't do it. Once this bloody evil spirit rushes in, we will be hacked to death by the fierce soldiers..."
“No, no… Not to mention that the war between the two countries is basically a foregone conclusion, even if there are still variables, it is not your turn to join in. I just think that you are foxes, so it is naturally easy to get close to your own kind, so I want you to help.”
"help?"
Hu Li looked at Ji Yuan in confusion.
"Yes, helping may cause some minor troubles, but as long as you are smart, it won't be a big problem. As long as you are willing to help, Ji will also give you a chance and some benefits in advance."
"Sir, can you tell me what kind of help you need? It's not that I don't want to, but we are not very skilled and I'm afraid we can't help you. You have to know the answer!"
Hu Li asked carefully, his tone revealing caution and suspicion.
"Oh, to put it simply, I'm helping Ji find some fox demons. Of course, their skills are much better than yours, at least they are truly transformed and have a legacy. For some reason, they are more afraid of me and always stay away from me. You guys are just trying your luck and helping me find them."
Looking for a fox demon
"Then, what is the destiny that sir is talking about?"
Ji Yuan smiled, stood up, and scared Hu Li so much that he took two steps back.
"Don't be afraid. I'll let you experience it first and you'll know."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Hu Li's forehead. A faint light of magic followed Ji Yuan's finger and sank into the other's forehead. A vigorous and agile magic power instantly spread from the purple mansion to Hu Li's whole body.
Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented feeling was born in the body. The bones and muscles in the body seemed to be undergoing rapid changes. The slightly hunched and fat body was also rising and changing, becoming strong and powerful, handsome and elegant. The tail behind the buttocks was also constantly shortening, and finally it merged into the body and disappeared.
There are also streams of magical power that seem to move according to one's will, flowing through the body, making the spiritual energy accumulated in the body extremely agile.
"I, became a human? I..."
Hu Li felt the magic power in his body, touched his face and body, and patted his butt. His heart beat so fast that he could hardly control it.
Feeling the magic power circulating in his body, Hu Li felt as if this magic power could be used at will.
Hu Li did it as he thought. He just waved his hand towards the table tentatively. The next moment, all the cups, plates and food residues were suspended in the air. Even the wine that had spilled from the glass due to inertia slowly floated out. With a thought in his mind, the wine turned into a flexible water line, which made several turns in the air and flew into his open mouth.
The taste of the wine and the feeling of it going down his throat told him it was not an illusion.
"This feeling, this, this is the feeling of successful practice..."
"Not only that, you can also fly, dive, and swim. You can feel the changes of heaven and earth and comprehend the wonders of nature. You are on the right track of cultivation. However, I just used my own magic power to change you. It's not real."
Ji Yuan smiled and pointed out a few things. After all, this fox's vision was too narrow.
Hu Li knelt down immediately and kowtowed to Ji Yuan continuously.
"Master, Master! Please teach me, Master. I beg you to teach me. I will obey your orders, even if it means death!"
Ji Yuan reached out and held him.
"Think it over carefully. I want to make it clear in advance that this is not without risks. If you are not careful, you may die."
"Please teach me, Immortal! Please teach me, Immortal!"
Hu Li knelt down and bowed again, begging Ji Yuan to teach him. This opportunity was rare. Today he met a real immortal. Perhaps he would never have a second chance to "see the way from the immortal" until he died. As for the danger, for little demons like them with a confused future, any danger was worth fighting for today's opportunity!
