I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 400 - 239: Purgatory Violent Bear

...

After reading the contents of the Jade Scroll, Li Mu felt extremely shocked.

Li Mu’s Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed, astonished by the detailed intelligence about the Demon Race within the Jade Scroll.

Just the number of Low-Tier Demon Races stationed around Lin Yao City, guarded by the Supreme Profound Border Guard Army, already reached billions. Then, how many demon beasts must there be in the millions and millions of miles of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range?

Li Mu could hardly imagine, if a Demon Beast tide erupts, aside from the Central Continent Spirit Realm, other regions might turn into ruins. Demon Beasts are inherently stronger than the Human Race. In the areas governed by humans, most are mortals, and those who truly can cultivate are very few,

Facing the tide of billions of demon beasts, humans might have no resistance at all, possibly requiring High-Tier cultivators to step in to reverse the situation.

"Alright, we already know the current area of the Purgatory Violent Bear. Let’s go." Tianshang Supreme broke the silence, pinning his hopes on the Purgatory Violent Bear. If it hadn’t swallowed the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit, then Venerable Kun Ling still had a small hope of promotion.

Soon, the group took the Celestial Cloud Spirit Ship and set off towards the area where the Purgatory Violent Bear was.

According to the information within the Jade Scroll, the Purgatory Violent Bear is inherently violent and now occupies the domain of Nine Spirits Peaks. With the speed of the Celestial Cloud Spirit Ship, it would take seven days of flight to reach it.

Within the Spirit Ship, Venerable Kun Ling stood on the deck, gazing into the distance at the Original Heaven and Earth. The scenery along the way was beautiful and lush, but he had no interest in appreciating it. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Tianshang Supreme held onto a bottle of Spirit Wine, occasionally sipping from it, drinking alone.

Li Mu bid farewell to the two seniors, returned to his room, and sat cross-legged on the bed to rest.

Suddenly, a strand of Li Mu’s Divine Thought attached to the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, then summoned Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and Xue’Er all out.

Previously, Xue’Er had always complained to him that staying inside the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet was incredibly boring, and requested to stay with Xiaojin and Xiaowa. Li Mu followed the advice.

As soon as the three little ones appeared, they immediately shrunk their forms, looked around, examining the unfamiliar cabin.

"Xue’Er, come here." Li Mu beckoned to Xue’Er.

The Three-tailed Fox Demon—Xue’Er nodded gladly, walked up to Li Mu, a pair of bright eyes curiously fixed on him, asking: "You finally decided to call us out! Where is this place?"

Li Mu gently rubbed Xue’Er’s head and replied with a smile: "We are inside the cabin of a Tier Six Spirit Ship. We are already within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. I believe it won’t be long before I can send you back to your clan!"

Upon hearing this, Xue’Er’s body shrank, immediately becoming displeased.

"I don’t want to go back! In the clan, my mother always forces me to practice, and besides sleeping all day, it’s just cultivation. It’s unbearably annoying. Staying here is better, free and easy. Please don’t send me back!" Xue’Er clutched Li Mu’s arm, pouting and whining.

Li Mu felt a bit helpless. He had thought that only the Human Race had a rebellious phase, but unexpectedly, the Demon Beast Race also had such rebellious offspring.

Li Mu patted Xue’Er’s head, patiently advising: "Xue’Er, don’t be willful. Your mother must be very worried due to not receiving word from you for a long time. Think about it; if you had no news of your mother over an extended period, how would you feel?"

Xue’Er jumped over to Xiaowa and Xiaojin’s side, decisively declaring: "I have a Soul Token in the clan. As long as the token exists, my mother will know I’m okay. Besides, I’m not little anymore; I can make my own decisions!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu couldn’t help but shake his head and smile: "I have promised you that it won’t change. Sending you back to the clan is also for your own good!"

"I won’t listen! I won’t listen! Back in the clan, my mother and several elders will definitely force me into cultivation, talking about defending the Demonic Fox clan, guarding the clan, that’s not the life I want!" Xue’Er shook her head like a rattle drum, looking pitiful at Li Mu, making it difficult to refuse.

Xiaojin and Xiaowa looked at Xue’Er’s obstinate appearance and couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity.

"Master, since Xue’Er doesn’t want to leave, let her stay!" Xiaojin looked at Li Mu, pleading on behalf of Xue’Er.

"Yes, yes! With us protecting her, Xue’Er will certainly be fine! Besides, following Master, nothing will happen!" Xiaowa proposed to Li Mu, looking at the pitiful Xue’Er.

...

The Fox Demon truly is a Charming Spiritual Object. The Three-tailed Fox Demon—Xue’Er, in front of him, was pretending to look pitifully. Her eyes shimmered with crystalline light, seemingly carrying all the grievances and sorrow in the world. Her delicate, exquisite nose slightly wrinkled, as if discoursing her inner turmoil, her cherry-like lips slightly parted, as if calling for others’ compassion and sympathy.

Behind her, three snow-white tails drooped to the ground, losing their usual agility and pride.

Her fur, smooth as silk, yet it emanated a sense of loneliness and helplessness, her body slightly trembling, as if bearing great pain and stress.

Witnessing this scene, an intense protective urge welled up in anyone’s heart. A near-unstoppable impulse to hold her tightly, shielding her from all storms of the world.

Xue’Er’s innate allure made Li Mu’s heart quiver slightly. This creature, when she grows a little more, will be something.

Then looking at Xiaojin, Xiaowa, those two naive creatures.

Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a strong headache.

Xue’Er is just a Fox Demon; her pitiful appearance might merely be a means to beguile the masses. Her sorrow and grievance might be her subconscious performance to achieve her goals, her loneliness and helplessness might be tricks to invoke others’ sympathy.
