Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 2380: You’re So Ugly

Ning Shu rolled around in the mud, and her white fur immediately became dirty.

Her white fur was too eye-catching. It’d be best for her to be dirty.

She was just afraid of getting lice!

“Bah. You’re so ugly.” The little fox looked at Ning Shu, who was covered in dirt, disdainfully.

“Roll him around too,” Ning Shu calmly said. His red fur was just as eye-catching.

“No way!” The little fox, who was caught by Yi Liang, struggled hard, but couldn’t escape the fate of being dirtied with mud.

The little fox felt like he had nothing left to live for.

Ning Shu suddenly asked the little fox, “Are the red foxes the only ones that can learn how to cast illusions?”

“No, we’re not. We’re just uniquely good at it. It’s an innate talent that others don’t have,” the little fox answered sternly.

“Others can learn too?”

“That’s not it. Do you want to learn how I do it? No way. The secret method of my clan cannot be disclosed.” The little fox crushed Ning Shu’s hopes.

“The ability to cast illusions is the foundation of our red fox clan. If you know how to cast illusions, you’d understand how it works and you’d be able to undo them. There is no way I’ll teach you. My grandma would kill me.” The little fox looked dead serious.

Ning Shu inwardly sighed. The ability to cast illusions practically made Ning Shu drool.

Ordinary formations could create something similar, but only in appearance. The red foxes’ illusions, however, could evoke a person’s deepest desire. It could evoke beautiful fantasies that people would want to indulge themselves forever in, but also past suffering and torment that they couldn’t bear to look back at.

It could amplify the seven emotions and six desires infinitely.

However, it seemed like it was near impossible to learn it.

She and the little fox weren’t close enough to share family secrets with each other.

Ning Shu had no choice but to put that thought on the back-burner.

The child and the two foxes went in the direction of Heaven’s Gorge, but the journey from the town to there was long. Even though Yi Liang bought a carriage, they still had to stop often.

They also had to keep asking for directions so they wouldn’t go in the wrong direction.

Along the way, they encountered robbers and scammers, and sometimes, they’d even have to deal with some not-so-powerful cultivators’ schemes.

With each encounter, Yi Liang only became more calculative and determined. He learned to always keep a card up his sleeves and pretend to be weak in order to defeat those that were stronger than him.

Walking in the Jianghu required a lot of carefulness. It wasn’t good to have the intention to harm others, but at the same time, it was still very important to always be on guard against others.

The closer they got to Heaven’s Gorge, the more powerful the people they met became. Many foundation stage cultivators were wandering outside it.

During their several months of arduous journeys, since they had no artifacts to fly with, they had to rely on horses. However, there were places where carriages couldn’t traverse, so they had no choice but to walk.

Only they would know the hardships they endured.

They finally arrived at the nearest town in Heaven’s Gorge. As soon as they entered the town, they immediately felt strong spiritual energy, which made people feel refreshed.

This was possible either because there were spiritual veins nearby, or there were people forming formations and gathering spiritual energy here.

Either way, it must’ve been costly.

Yi Liang took Ning Shu and the little fox to an inn, but they were kicked out because they were too dirty.

But how could anyone that had gone on such a long journey possibly be clean?

Ning Shu and the little fox’s fur was lumpy, and it was sticking together.

They could raise a burst of dust just by shaking their body.

Yi Liang told the innkeeper that he had money, but they wouldn’t let him stay.

The other guests of the inn were cultivators. If this dirty boy made those immortals angry, they wouldn’t be able to continue operating their businesses.

Besides, they only accepted spirit stones as payment. Who’d accept something like silver?
