Chapter 366: He Might Be in Heat
This novel is translated and hosted only on Bcatranslation.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yu Zhao curiously asked Ji Han Zhou how he had met Lou Yu Shan.
Lou Yu Shan opened his mouth to speak, but under Ji Han Zhou’s threatening glare, he swallowed his words and allowed Ji Han Zhou to take the lead.
Ji Han Zhou took over the conversation, skipping unimportant details and focusing on how he had seen through Si Tu Xuan Yuan’s illusionary traps, hitting the core of the problem and emphasizing his sharp wit and decisiveness.
Before he had even gotten far, Silence and Long Fei Fei, along with others, had walked over to join them. Later, the Three Heroes of the Shao Family joined the audience, their expressions growing darker as Ji Han Zhou recounted his tale.
Long Fei Fei, amazed, exclaimed, “So the real test wasn’t to defeat the avatar but to learn the Unbeatable Sword Technique through its growth?”
“Exactly.”
Ji Han Zhou nodded slightly.
When he mastered the first move of the Unbeatable Sword Technique, he sensed a hidden connection with the Ancient Tower, gaining an awareness of everything inside it. Opening the stone house door became an easy task.
Under Lou Yu Shan’s witness, Ji Han Zhou paid his respects to the avatar of Senior Xuan Yuan, formally accepting him as a teacher. Then, he led Lou Yu Shan out of the stone house.As the door opened, Lou Yu Shan broke into tears—heart-wrenching, gut-twisting sobs.
Ji Han Zhou had to stay back to comfort him for a while.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother Ji!”
“Congratulations!”
“You’re really lucky!”
Yu Zhao, Silence, Long Fei Fei, and the others congratulated him warmly. Even though the Three Heroes of the Shao Family were disappointed, they forced smiles and said a few pleasant words. It was clear to everyone that Ji Han Zhou had boundless potential, and maintaining good relations with him was wise.
Yu Zhao asked, “Junior Brother Ji, now that you’ve gained Senior Xuan Yuan’s favor, will you stay in the Ancient Tower to continue cultivating the sword technique?”
“Yes, Senior Sister Yu,” Ji Han Zhou replied confidently. From the beginning, he had always been clear about his goals. Until he had the strength he sought, he would never reveal his deeper intentions.
Yu Zhao nodded. “This is your opportunity. Cherish it well. I must also tend to my own matters.”
“Senior Sister Yu,” Ji Han Zhou said, his eyes shining with determination, “the next time we meet, I will show you a different Ji Han Zhou.”
Yu Zhao smiled faintly. “I look forward to it.”
Ji Han Zhou glanced at Silence, who returned the look with a gentle nod. Their eyes met, and a silent understanding passed between them.
“You still haven’t said goodbye to me!”
Unable to hold back any longer, Lou Yu Shan interjected.
Ji Han Zhou twitched slightly at the corner of his eye. “Senior Brother Lou, I suddenly feel that staying alone in the Ancient Tower might be lonely. Why don’t you stay a bit longer and keep me company?”
Lou Yu Shan clasped his hands and immediately exclaimed, “Farewell!” He darted behind Yu Zhao in a flash.
Although he had only met Yu Zhao once, he had already determined that she was the only one who could restrain the prideful Ji Han Zhou. She was undoubtedly his nemesis.
Indeed, as Lou Yu Shan hid behind Yu Zhao, Ji Han Zhou ignored him and instead personally led the group out of the Ancient Tower.
As they were about to leave the square, they stumbled upon the corpse of Ancestor Gan Lin. When they had last seen him, he was gravely injured and unable to move. To their surprise, he was now dead.
Long Fei Fei spat disdainfully as she walked past. “Evil met its just end!”
Back inside the Ancient Tower, Ji Han Zhou stood watching them depart. Suddenly, a mischievous voice echoed in his ears.
“My dear disciple, it’s time for your beating!”
Ji Han Zhou sighed lightly. When he turned around, his eyes became void of emotion, and his entire demeanor transformed into a sharp, unsheathed blade, radiating unrelenting determination.
The day his sword technique was perfected would be the day he emerged from seclusion!
…
Meanwhile…
From a distance, Yu Zhao heard a familiar howl. Looking up, she saw a human-shaped beast sprinting toward her, its dazzling white teeth glinting in the sunlight.
“Hua Tu?”
“Yu Zhao! Yu Zhao! Yu Zhao!”
Hua Tu enthusiastically called out as he dashed over, his legs moving as if powered by wind and fire.
Seeing him, Yu Zhao felt like a sleepy person finding a pillow. As he leaped toward her, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out the burning-hot White Blaze, shoving it into Hua Tu’s arms.
“Hua Tu, quickly, check what’s wrong with him!”
“Huh?”
Hua Tu froze, holding White Blaze, utterly confused.
“This little beast I’ve taken in recently has been unconscious and burning up. Can you see if he’s sick?”
“O-okay…”
Hua Tu, flustered, tried to maintain a serious expression as he picked up White Blaze by its tail, dangling it upside down. He shook the snake-like creature slightly, sniffed it, then muttered, “Weird, why doesn’t he have any demonic scent?”
Even the strongest demons, like Bai Ling and Nine-Tailed Foxes, carried a faint trace of their kind’s scent. But this little snake was as clean as pure spring water.
“Where did he come from?”
“I don’t know,” Yu Zhao replied. “One day, he just appeared in my sleeve.”
Furrowing his brows, Hua Tu pondered deeply for a while before blurting out, “Hmm… He might be in heat.”
Yu Zhao: ?
In heat?
But White Blaze looked like a newborn. Could he even…?
Even Hua Tu felt his explanation was a stretch, but lacking a better one, he soldiered on. “His symptoms are similar to those of a beast in heat—feverish, weak, and disoriented.”
“Really?”
Yu Zhao seemed unsure.
“If you want to confirm, you can find a beast in heat and compare their behavior,” Hua Tu suggested, his voice growing quieter and his eyes darting nervously.
Unaware of his unease, Yu Zhao grew concerned. Where would she find such a beast?
Coughing lightly, Hua Tu tried to continue. “Actually, I wouldn’t mind…”
“I think it’s more like he’s undergoing tribulation,” Long Fei Fei interrupted. She had been silently observing for some time before speaking up.
As the most ambitious thief in the cultivation world and a successor of the School of Skillful Empty Hands, Long Fei Fei had extensive dealings with beasts.
She confidently concluded, “This little snake isn’t mature enough to have reproductive desires. However, the symptoms of a beast undergoing tribulation can resemble those of being in heat. I’m more inclined to believe he’s transcending a tribulation.”
