I have the best bloodline

Qingya, who came out from the back hall, listened to Su Yan and Feng Shiqi's conversation and said, "We ran out of some medicinal herbs yesterday, and my master asked me to go to the Red King's Mansion to get more. If you are also going to the Red King's Mansion, I can give you a ride."

Chapter 195 Scarlet King City

"Waaaaah, Immortal, what should I do? My fiancée insists on divorcing me, I can't live without her!"

"Don't rush, let me do some calculations."

The style of the city where the Red King's Mansion is located is the same as that of Xia Yu City where Su Yan was before. Both were built by the Ministry of Works, one of the six ministries of Xia Yu. Traveling merchants come and go in an endless stream on the streets, and the street vendors greet the passing customers with smiles on their faces.

"Your birth chart and your fiancée's birth chart together are incredibly unlucky. They might hinder your wealth. If you get married, you won't be able to make a fortune until you're 500 years old!" The old charlatan, who set up a stall along the street, pretended to calculate with his fingers and looked at the young man in front of him with a confident expression.

"."

The young man stopped crying abruptly, stared at the old charlatan for a moment without saying a word, and then said awkwardly, "It seems that after being persuaded by the immortal, I suddenly let go."

"Pfft."

While waiting in line to complete the formalities at the post station, Su Yan overheard the conversation between the old charlatan and the young man at the entrance. He almost spat out his tea and quickly turned around to see who could be so shameless.

Su Yan glanced over and saw an old man at the Foundation Establishment stage trying to trick a young man in the Body Refinement stage.

"He's just talking nonsense. Even terrestrial immortals need the assistance of a grand formation to glimpse the secrets of heaven. If any random old man on the street could deduce things, the signboard of one of the five pillars of the righteous path in Falling Star City could be smashed directly."

Qingya, who was looking at the list, saw Su Yan craning his neck like a duck to read the nonsense spouted by the charlatans on the street, and couldn't help but mutter a disapproving comment.

It is extremely difficult to accurately predict the secrets of heaven. In the cultivation world, only the sect in Falling Star City can predict the secrets of heaven with 100% accuracy. Any other cultivators who use divination are basically just fooling people and cannot be trusted.

"Falling Star City?"

Su Yan withdrew his head from the excitement and muttered about the sect Qingya had mentioned. Wasn't Falling Star City the sect in the Eastern State where Jin Lin was located?

“Yes, only they can be trusted to deduce the secrets of heaven; no other cultivators can be trusted,” Qingya said.

"Is customer number 145 here? Please come to the front desk to fill out a shipping manifest and indicate whether you require escort."

Just as Su Yan was about to ask about Qingya Luoxing City's status in the cultivation world, the staff at the post station started calling out numbers again. Su Yan glanced at his number and quickly raised his hand to the front desk, saying, "Here! Number 145 is here."

The post stations in various places during the Xia Dynasty were originally official organizations used to deliver memorials from local government offices. However, as the Xia Dynasty's post stations grew larger, they gradually began to enter the market and take on the business of transporting goods for merchants and delivering letters for ordinary people.

The escort service mentioned by Xia Yu Post Station means that if the items are valuable, you will pay an additional fee, and the post station will send someone to guard the items you need to send out.

Su Yan went to the front desk, filled out the delivery form, and paid two jin of spirit stones. The process was then complete.

Su Yan chose Xianzhou air freight and delivery service, so the price was much higher than that of land transportation.

"Um?!"

When the receptionist saw Su Yan filling out the address, she was startled. She found a wooden box under the table, put both letters together, and then placed the box into the storage ring used for escorting goods.

One letter was addressed to Chun Yuan, while another was sent directly to the Demon Suppression Division and signed "To the Envoy of Zou Town".

Regardless of the content of the letters, all letters delivered to the government were required to be encrypted and escorted.

This is commonly known as the fast track, and it was one of the perks for the families of court officials.

Leaving the soundproof private room, Su Yan, unaware of the intricate layout of Xia Yu Inn, paid her bill and walked directly from the lobby to the outer level of the inn. She called over Qing Ya, who was checking the bill, and said:

"Want to grab something to eat? I'll buy some fig gum and corn later and then head back."

The main ingredient in chewing gum is fig gum, along with dried flower petals that add a lot of flavor and texture.

The Flower City is currently undergoing a major infrastructure construction, and not many shops are open. Therefore, Su Yan decided to buy some things at the Red King's Mansion since she was already there.

Su Yan's purchases will not be too large, because he only has one storage bag on his body, which can hold about four square meters of items, and cannot carry too many goods for long-distance transportation.

However, the price of such a storage bag normally starts at 100 catties of spirit stones.

Storage rings and bracelets, even the cheaper ones, all cost at least a thousand catties of spirit stones, and there's no upper limit to how much they can cost.

With all their current assets, it's impossible for them to afford a storage ring, a luxury item.

"Sister Qingya"

Walking side by side on the streets of Crimson King City, Su Yan looked at Qingya, who was wearing a round hat and black veil, and said with a hint of curiosity, "...Can I pinch your ear?"

The ears of the fennec foxes of the western state stand upright like those of a donkey, completely different from Su Yan's own fox ears or those of other pure foxes. They appear to be a relatively thin and breathable style.

Su Yan had wanted to touch it for a long time, but he didn't know what the fennec fox's ears would feel like.

"The back of the ear is fine, but the inner layer is not. The meridians and blood vessels inside are more dense, so it is not suitable for touching."

Faced with Su Yan's request, Qingya thought for a moment and then agreed without feeling embarrassed or thinking about things like the proper distance between people.

Su Yan is about 1.6 meters tall and is about six months shy of adulthood.

Because Qingya possesses the bloodline of the demon race and has the strongest physique among the five elements, the wood element, she is a full 1.84 meters tall. Including her ears, she is nearly 2.1 meters tall, even taller than the Fairy Doctor.

Su Yan was like a little brother to her. She had rubbed Su Yan's head so many times before. Letting the little fox touch his ears was nothing.

"Do fennec foxes also make whimpering sounds like me?"

“Fennec foxes don’t usually bark much, and because of their small size, their whimpering sounds like they’re being affectionate,” Qingya thought for a moment before answering Su Yan’s question.

The fennec fox bloodline in her body originated from the donation of that fennec fox from the Western Regions.

Although the fennec fox's father was a nine-tailed fox, it did not inherit any supernatural powers; it only inherited the power of charm and the characteristic of having nine tails growing on its back.

It inherited neither the powerful ability to regenerate nor the innate abilities of the Wood element.

If the Fairy Healer and Qingya hadn't happened to pass by and saved its life, that fennec fox might have fallen victim to the brothels of the Western Regions demon race and ended up in the world of prostitution.

Qingya and the fennec fox were perfectly compatible. Because of its small size but enormous spiritual power, Qingya asked the Fairy Healer for a grafted flower, used some of the fennec fox's blood to cultivate the spiritual plant, and finally transplanted the grafted flower into her body.

Although the two are extremely compatible, even with such elegance, they cannot hide the fox ears on their heads, and one of the allure elements originating from the nine-tailed fox.

Although grafting has minor problems, they are insignificant compared to changing one's innate talents.

Can those little things even be called problems?

…………

hello?

Chapter 196 Sister Ai'er

Su Yan and Qing Ya walked through the streets of Chiwang City, procuring supplies from various shops, planning to stay in Chiwang City for lunch before returning to Flower City, hundreds of miles away.

"Aren't you going to get a magical artifact?" Qingya asked Su Yan.

The biggest difference between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Golden Core stage, besides the spiritual power and lifespan, is that Golden Core stage cultivators can kill people from a hundred miles away using the art of controlling objects, and can also travel a thousand miles a day by controlling objects.

Compared to taking flight using spiritual power, moving by controlling objects is faster and saves more spiritual power.

Qingya knew that Su Yan possessed a spirit sword, but the Red Jade Hairpin Sword was no longer obeying him. Just then, she saw a promotional event for magical artifacts and suggested that Su Yan consider purchasing a temporary magical artifact.

The magical artifacts he uses for duty are not for combat, but only for his own travel. Therefore, he doesn't need to choose expensive and popular weapons. He can choose some extremely unpopular and cheap magical artifacts to use as his means of transportation.

"Let's talk about it later when we have more spirit stones!"

Su Yan followed Qingya's gaze and saw a banner that read "Shop Promotion: Magical Artifacts - 100 Jin of Spirit Stones Per Item, Clearance Sale at a Loss." His brows twitched slightly involuntarily.

My dear sister! Other people's magical artifacts start at 100 spirit stones each, but all the spirit stones I have on me now only weigh 196 jin.

We're in dire straits right now, so we have to eat whatever's available!

"Hey! Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. If your magic weapon isn't suitable, why not take a look at our family's spirit beasts? They are all benevolent beasts bred artificially over a hundred years. They can be ridden, used, used day and night, for self-defense, weight loss, and beauty enhancement!"

After pausing for only a moment, the shop assistants approached Su Yan with beaming smiles, inviting him to take a look at their treasures. They said it didn't matter if he couldn't afford a magical artifact to fly through the air, as they had something that could run on the ground.

Spirit beasts that can travel hundreds or thousands of miles a day are not expensive; you can buy three to five gelded ones for a hundred or eighty catties of spirit stones.

"Fuck your mother, you dare sell my mother!"

"Li Liang, Li Liang~"

Su Yan glanced to the side and saw a cage placed at the entrance of a shop selling spirit beasts. Inside the cage stood a little Shan Huan who kept swearing. On Shan Huan's head was a small gray-black bird that was echoing Shan Huan's cursing.

"This is a combo package offered by our store, a powerful collaboration between Shan Huan and Guan Guan. If you buy it, you won't need to use foul language during arguments; they can handle all the profanity and vulgarity!" the shop assistant proudly introduced.

"Moreover, as a breed carefully cultivated by our shop, our Shanhuan and Guanguan are particularly gentle. When they scold their owners, they never mention their ancestors or relatives; they only attack their organs."

Su Yan looked at the Mountain Cannon duo, and Shan Huan and Guan Guan also looked at Su Yan.

Guan Guan: "You son of a bitch."

Shan Huan: "Haven't you ever seen a handsome demon beast?"

Su Yan looked at the shop assistant with a black line on his forehead and sighed, "Your shop really knows how to do business. I'm impressed."

Selling Shan Huan and Guan Guan together, even someone as good-natured as Su Yan couldn't resist taking out his money after being scolded by the two beasts. He wanted to chop Shan Huan into meat patties, put a Guan Guan in it, and stew it into soup.

The shopkeeper is quite a talent!

Although he wasn't interested in the string of profanities, Su Yan decided to take a look at the animal pens located behind the shop, given the shopkeeper's talent.

I want to see for myself what other tricks this shopkeeper can pull.

However, when Su Yan arrived at the animal enclosure, he stood there dumbfounded.

"Sister Xi Xi?!"

In the courtyard of the beast shed, stood a girl dressed in a white dress, her fox tail swaying slowly behind her. Her face was covered by a white cloth, so no one could see her appearance. She stood there in the center of the courtyard, yet it seemed as if no one could see her. The cultivators who were choosing spirit beast pets simply walked right past her.

"Ok?"

"Sister Xi'er" turned her head, revealing the word "love" in red lettering on the white cloth covering her face:

"Hey?"

"like?!"

Su Yan looked on in amazement, while Qing Ya, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss, glanced at Ai, then at Su Yan, and asked, "Do you...know each other?"

"You can see it too?"

This time, Su Yan and Ai'er both turned their heads to look at Qingya on the side.

Jiuyou is a fragment of the soul of the Emperor of No Life. Unless one wishes, he remains in a formless and intangible state. Unless one possesses the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it is impossible to observe Jiuyou in his hidden state.

Su Yan knew these things, and Jiu You also knew that Su Yan knew these things, so he didn't find it strange.
