Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 797 - : Reunion
Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Reunion
“Are you Jiaojiao?”
As he gently stroked the fluffy white fox in his arms, Wang Chen felt like he was dreaming.
Even if it were a dream, he couldn’t have imagined that Hu Jiaojiao, having arrived in this world, had transformed into a beast.
But on second thought, she was originally from the Fox Tribe!
That made sense.
“Ying ying ying!”
The white fox coiled in his embrace, timidly calling out in a shy and coquettish manner, conveying a sense of grievance.
“I’m sorry.”
Wang Chen said with a wry smile, “I can’t understand what you’re saying.”
The white fox struggled a bit, then jumped out of his arms and used its front paw to scratch words onto the rock.
Soon a line of text appeared before Wang Chen: I’ve been looking for you…
Wang Chen instantly breathed a sigh of relief—communication was possible after all.
In fact, although he couldn’t understand the language of beasts, Hu Jiaojiao could understand his words, and by using writing to communicate, it was only slightly inconvenient.
Considering it was not practical out in the wilderness, Wang Chen decisively carried her back to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Without alarming anyone.
After they arrived at Wang Chen’s residence, the white fox’s eyes widened with excitement as it dashed all over the place.
It finally jumped onto the bed and rolled back and forth on the brocaded quilts!
Later on, Wang Chen learned that upon arriving in the Foggy Mountain Realm, Hu Jiaojiao had become a white fox.
And she was among a group of foxes.
With her innate abilities, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and she had now become a seventh-tier fierce beast.
Equivalent to a human Innate Martial Artist!
Throughout her growth, Hu Jiaojiao was constantly searching for Wang Chen’s whereabouts.
But being in the body of a fox instead of a human, she couldn’t enter the city and naturally couldn’t gather much useful information.
Then Hu Jiaojiao came up with a method.
She continuously attacked the martial artists who came hunting in the mountains, captured them, and then coerced them for any news related to Wang Chen.
Hu Jiaojiao believed that Wang Chen, having come to the Foggy Mountain Realm, would certainly not remain in obscurity!
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and just three days prior, she learned of Wang Chen’s name from a hunter.
In fact, the area where Hu Jiaojiao appeared was thousands of miles away from Red Cliff City.
But these thousands of miles could not stop her from meeting Wang Chen!
“You have had a hard time.”
Wang Chen couldn’t help but hug the white fox into his embrace—she had suffered far more than he had.
The white fox shook its head and wrote on his hand with its paw: “I want to bathe.”
Wang Chen didn’t think the white fox was dirty, but over the past year, Hu Jiaojiao had always kept company with the fox group, living in caves deep in the mountains, hardly in any proper living conditions.
That was why she was so joyful upon arriving here.
Wang Chen chuckled and promptly summoned a maid to prepare a fragrant bath with flower petals.
To give Hu Jiaojiao a bath.
Then, Wang Chen asked the kitchen to prepare a lavish feast, for the white fox to enjoy after cleaning up.
Once Hu Jiaojiao had eaten her fill and drunk plenty, the night had grown deep.
One person and one fox slept on the same bed, continuing their communication.
Hu Jiaojiao told Wang Chen that she had already perceived the location of the Mysterious Fox Order but had not sought the sacred relic of the Fox Tribe because she had not found Wang Chen.
Now that they were reunited, they could go find this treasure and return to the Haotian Realm!
This was undoubtedly good news.
But Wang Chen hesitated.
“Jiaojiao, I plan to go treasure hunting again in a while.”
Once he found the Mysterious Fox Order, perhaps he could return to the Haotian Realm immediately.

The problem was that if Wang Chen left, leaving Shao Hongcheng alone, the latter would definitely be unable to control Red Cliff City and would be in big trouble for sure.
One must complete what one starts. Although Wang Chen no longer owed Shao Hongcheng anything, if the cause and effect between them ended in this way, Wang Chen would feel uneasy.
He intended to push Shao Hongcheng to the Innate Realm before leaving!
With an Innate, coupled with a few Divine Weapons to fortify Red Cliff, there would be no issue.
Wang Chen explained the whole situation to Hu Jiaojiao, and after hearing it, she offered no objections.
“So this is the little fox you’ve been searching for so hard?”
It was at this moment that Elder Yao popped into Wang Chen’s mind, startling him.
“Yes, senior.”
Wang Chen had nothing to hide, “As long as we find the Mysterious Fox Order, there’s a chance to leave this realm.”
“Alright.”
Elder Yao said, “I will help you resolve the issue with Shao Hongcheng.”
Merely relying on Wang Chen’s own power, it would undoubtedly be impossible to elevate Shao Hongcheng to the Innate tier, but with guidance from Elder Yao, a Nascent Soul True Immortal who had reincarnated twelve times, the situation was completely different.
The next morning, Wang Chen asked someone to invite Shao Hongcheng over.
“Senior brother.”
He was frank with his nominal senior brother, “You have one day to arrange your affairs; after that, your task is to break through to the Innate tier.”
Normally, this would be considered a great opportunity, but Shao Hongcheng listened with trepidation, feeling a chill down his spine.
And his premonition was correct.
In the following days, Shao Hongcheng endured torment as if he was in deep water and fierce flames.
Elder Yao tailored a medicinal bath recipe according to his unique characteristics, using a large amount of precious medicinal ingredients and the essence of high-tier Fierce Beasts, boiling it all together with the person in a huge cauldron.
At the same time, Wang Chen channeled his Innate True Qi into Shao Hongcheng, helping him to clear the meridians in his body.
On his own, Shao Hongcheng’s talent had a ceiling at the Marrow Refining Realm. Without external aid, he couldn’t even break through the Acquired great realm, let alone become an Innate powerhouse.
Therefore, attacking the Innate tier required a three-pronged approach!
Another aspect was the consumption of Pills.
Wang Chen took all the Pills from Elder Yao’s secret vault and fed them, one by one, to his nominal senior brother.
Day by day, the meridians inside Shao Hongcheng’s body opened up one by one.
Under the dual effects of the medicinal bath and the Pills, his Physique quickly elevated to the threshold necessary to break through to the Innate tier.
A month after Wang Chen and Hu Jiaojiao were reunited, Shao Hongcheng broke through to the Innate Realm!
The breakthrough process was extremely perilous, almost ending in failure, but at the critical moment, it was Elder Yao who personally intervened, helping Shao Hongcheng with the final push.
The Innate Pill was consumed in the entirety of five pieces!
It could be said that Shao Hongcheng’s Innate Realm was built upon a mountain of gold and silver.
The cost was exceptionally high.
After Shao Hongcheng was promoted to Innate, Wang Chen gave him the Overlord Spear and the Moon Slaying Saber, keeping only the Sunset Bow for himself.
With these two Divine Weapons, Shao Hongcheng would have a fighting chance against powerful enemies in the future.
Once everything was ready, he issued the City Lord’s decree and called together all the leaders of the various forces in Red Cliff City.
In front of everyone, he passed the position of City Lord to Shao Hongcheng.
Since Shao Hongcheng was already an Innate powerhouse, the transfer of power went smoothly, without any foolish individual stepping forward to seek death.
Wang Chen had thoroughly resolved his cause and effect with Shao Hongcheng.
As for the path ahead, that was entirely up to Shao Hongcheng himself.
Three days later, Wang Chen, accompanied by the White Fox, set out on the journey to find the Mysterious Fox Order.
