Chapter 39

Li Yuan looked at the girl with emotionless eyes.

"And why should I give you back the storage ring?"

"Because it belongs to my Eldest Brother!" Said the Girl. Suddenly, she sensed a cold feeling on her neck as the M Sword touched her neck.

"If I hadn't killed that old devil, you would have been captured by him and reduced to a sex slave that only know how to please him. Your brother's attack wasn't enough to kill him. And now, you have the audacity to ask for the storage ring? I risked my life to kill him and save your life. These storage rings are my rewards." Said Li Yuan.

"But..."

Li Yuan snorted and said" I hate your kind the most. Depending on others and letting them do all the work for you."

His eyes looked at the girl's body and said" You have an acceptable talent and if you have cultivated diligently, you would have been at the middle stages of Sage Realm. Yet, from what I see. You are a person who doesn't like to cultivate or resort to violence."

"Let me tell you something. Your kind is the first to die because of how ignorant and naive they are. If you have cultivated diligently and reached the Sage Realm, your brother wouldn't have died this way in order to protect you. He would have been alive as you would have at least be able to escape from this place. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being weak and naive."

More tears came out of the girl's eyes after hearing Li Yuan's harsh words.

"Your brother sacrificed his life because he has expectations for you! So the least you can do to honour his sacrifice is to stop acting like a little brat and grow up to face the reality of your current situation." Said Li Yuan.

The Little girl bit on her lower lip until blood came out of it.

"Bury your brother and don't let his body be tarnished by the beasts and bandits. This is the first thing you should do. Then, return back to your clan and start cultivating. Use your own strength to make sure that no one sacrifices his life for you." Li Yuan turned around and left behind the girl.

The girl's body trembled as she stretched her hands to touch the headless corpse.

"Eldest Brother..." The girl's cries echoed behind Li Yuan who continued to walk without turning his head.

Li Yuan didn't plan to help the girl and know that her mind state will change after this accident. He let her alive because he knew that he wouldn't have got the storage rings of two Saints without her brother sacrifice. For this, he let her live as payback for her brother who allowed him to get the storage rings.

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed as he sensed that the girl started digging the ground to bury her brother's corpse. He sighed and continued to walk.

He returned to the entrance of the cave and sat down then opened the two storage rings. He found quite useful materials and herbs. Also, he found about 1000 Spirit Stones which caused him to nod.

"It will be enough to push my Qi Cultivation to the 3rd Stage of the Sage Realm." Said Li Yuan. He started absorbing the Qi in the Spirit Stones as he waited for Qin Yin to finish from her cultivation.

Li Yuan lost count of the months as he cultivated both of his Qi and Soul. He completely used the Spirit Stones and the herbs in the storage rings. His Qi Cultivation reached the Peak of the 4th Stage of Sage Realm and his Soul reached the 45th Level.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and nodded as he sensed that Qin Yin has reached the Sage Realm. She left the cave with a big smile on her face.

"Li Yuan, I reached the Sage Realm!" Said Qin Yin. Li Yuan pointed at Little White which caused her to look at the small fox that was sitting on Li Yuan's lap.

Her eyes widened as she saw that Little White' soul has reached the 29th Level!

"Little White will leave you in the dust if you don't cultivate faster." Said Li Yuan. He said this to put some pressure on Qin Yin in order to make her unleash the potential inside her.

Qin Yin smiled bitterly and said "Li Yuan, Little White has the advantage of drinking your blood every day. Of course, Little White will improve quickly."

Li Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said: " Hard work will allow you to surpass those with talent and luck."

"....." Qin Yin became speechless and she Little White showing a smug look which caused her to became angry. She truly wanted to beat the hell out of this fox.

Li Yuan chuckled and said " Let us head to the Fox Race's territory. With our strength now, it will be a smooth journey."

Qin Yin calmed down and nodded. She followed Li Yuan and resumed their journey. Because of their cultivation being now at the Sage Realm, they were able to cross a large distance each day. They didn't stop to cultivate and only continued to rush forward.

"Li Yuan, what are you going to do about your bloodline aura?" Asked Qin Yin.

Li Yuan took out three bracelets and gave Qin Yin one before tying the 3rd bracelet on Little White's leg.

"I made them after studying my bloodline. It will change our bloodline's aura and make it look somehow normal while in the Half Fox Transformation." Said Li Yuan.

Qin Yin nodded and wore the bracelet.

"Once we enter the Fox Territory, we will transform. Then, we will head straight to the centre of the territory as there will be the biggest city in the entire territory. Our goal is The Royal Library." Said Li Yuan. He began explaining to her about the foxes.

Foxes Bloodlines' strength and purity are represented by the number of tails they have. The Strongest Bloodline is the 7 Tailed Royal Bloodline. He also told her that the Bloodlines are hard to get stronger and this can only be achieved by devouring the other foxes bloodlines.

"Then, why does your bloodline get stronger this easily and quickly? Also, your words indicate that the 7 tailed Royal Clan has devoured the bloodlines of other foxes?"

Li Yuan remembered that the ancestor of the 7 Tailed Royal Clan has bathed the fox territory in blood in order to make his bloodline reach the 7 Tails. It took him around 700 years to achieve that. He wanted to reach the 8 tailed bloodlines but he stopped as he will need to devour all the bloodlines to achieve it.

Qin Yin suddenly heard Li Yuan say something which caused her to nearly fall.

"I wonder what the taste of the 7 Tailed Bloodline? And how much my bloodline will improve if I devour someone with this bloodline? well, I will try it after uncovering the secrets of my bloodline."
