Chapter 144 - 103: Chu Wolf_2
At the same time, it was a paradise for all kinds of Spirit Monsters!
After all, Mount Mang is treacherous and unfathomable. Even Taoism cannot fully occupy it, and many demons and Spirit Monsters are born within it.
The Chu Family Wolf is one of them, even a prestigious royal clan among them, with a high reputation in the Demon World.
The Xin Family’s Fox is also considered a noble bloodline among the Spirit Monsters. Naturally, they had heard of the notoriety of the “Mount Mang Chu Family Wolves.”
Indeed, notoriety!
Wolves travel thousands of miles to feed on flesh, and the Chu Family Wolves are no exception, known for their ferocity among demons.
A demon knocking on the door to propose marriage to a Wolf from the Chu family?
Isn’t this like the weasel paying respects to the chicken at New Year’s? Clearly harboring ill intentions!
The Xin Family’s Foxes were simultaneously shocked and enraged, yet they dared not act rashly.
In the end, it was the elder sisters who forcefully maintained their composure, protecting their younger sisters and feigned politeness with a smile to the Wolf: “So it’s Young Master Chu. We were blind not to recognize Tai Shan, and may I ask which lucky sister of ours has caught Young Master Chu’s eye?”
“Well spoken, well spoken.”
Chu Cai immediately looked sharp, his gaze fixated on Miss Xin Shisi, who was shielded by her elder sisters behind them: “It’s precisely Shisi!”
“What?”
“You…”
“How dare you!”
Upon hearing these words, the Foxes of the Xin Family all changed color, both shocked and angered.
Only a few elder sisters still forced themselves to stay calm, maintaining the situation: “So it’s Shisi. Unfortunately, Young Master Chu is a step too late. Shisi has already been promised to someone else — the renowned Li Liuxian, the dean of Guo Bei Academy. Thus, Young Master Chu’s kind offer is beyond our fortune to enjoy. Please leave.”
“Guo Bei Academy?”
“Renowned throughout the land?”
“Li Liuxian?”
Chu Cai scoffed coldly, full of disdain: “Are the ladies trying to scare me with him?”
Then with a flick of his folding fan, revealing a fierce wolf’s head, he said: “What do you take my Chu Family for? Let alone his mere position as Jie Yuan, even if he became the top scholar, received official rank, I’d still feast without error.”
Having said that, he stepped forward, his gaze intense as he eyed Miss Xin Shisi among the foxes, making no effort to hide his covetousness.
Genuine covetousness — drool overflowed from the wolf’s mouth, full of the wolf’s innate greed and brutality.
Seeing this made the group of Foxes both shocked and angry.
“How audacious!”
“Don’t be presumptuous!”
“This is North City!”
“Do you know of Mount Jilei’s Mingxiao Taoist Temple?”
“Atop the Mingxiao Temple sits King Shifa, a recluse with mastery over the Thunder Series!”
“His Mana is immense, hostile towards evil. You dare to misbehave here — aren’t you afraid of being struck by thunder and reduced to ashes?”
“Out of consideration for us both being members of the Demon Race, we advise you to leave quickly; else, once your demonic aura spreads out, King Shifa will come, and you’ll have no chance to escape.”
Seeing that their adversaries had revealed their plans, the Xin Family Foxes stopped feigning politeness and directly threatened them with the power of Mingxiao Temple.
“Mingxiao Temple?”
“King Shifa?”
“Hahaha!”
“A mere Mage dares to claim the title of Spell King?”
Upon hearing this, Chu Cai burst into laughter: “If he had achieved the status of a True Man, perhaps this young master might have feared him a bit. But just a Mage, even if he practices the Thunder Series, does he really think my Chu Family Wolves are vegetarians? Don’t talk about his absence; if he came, I’d eat him too!”
Having said this, he no longer cared about the Foxes’ reactions, his terrifying wolf eyes fixated on Miss Xin Shisi: “Shisi, both of us belong to the Spirit Monsters, originating from the Demon Race. Your Xin Family of Yellow Mountain also ranks as a noble house among the Demon Race. Why demean yourself by serving a mortal? Better marry into my Chu Family — wouldn’t it be joyful to ascend to immortality and become ancestors?”
“Delusional dreams!”
“You, a wolf, dream of ascending to immortality?”
“You won’t even qualify to become a ghost!”
“Young Master is a close friend of King Shifa. If you continue this senseless disturbance, you may not even get a chance to be a ghost.”
The host of fox ladies were both shocked and infuriated, threatening loudly, but they seemed more bluster than substance.
Only Miss Xin Shisi remained calm, drawing her sword and staring icily at the Wolf. “Don’t talk about how I have already married into the Li Mansion to serve the Young Master and live or die for the Li Mansion. Even if I were still free, I would never stoop to consorting with a demon wolf like you!”
“Since ancient times, those who are different do not plan together. You demons, neither practicing the proper spells nor walking the Righteous Path nor accumulating virtuous deeds, only know greed and plunder, causing suffering to the masses. One day you will reap what you sow. Miss Xin Shisi would rather die than join forces with you in ignoble collusion!”
Saying this, she pointed her sword directly, with no sign of backing down.
Upon hearing this, the Wolf only laughed.
“Proper spells?”
“Righteous Path?”
“Virtuous deeds?”
“Hahaha!”
As the Wolf roared with laughter, full of scorn, he said: “What proper spells and Righteous Path, virtuous deeds? We, the beastly kind, are naturally about survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle. What, humans can eat animals, but animals can’t eat humans? Such rubbish principles are nothing but human playground rules.”
Then pointing his finger accusingly, he coldly stated: “Miss Xin Shisi, don’t forget that you are also beasts, demons, Spirit Monsters, and outcasts. Without taking refuge in religious cultivation, humans will kill you just the same, skin you, eat your flesh!”
“Then, will you still want to debate with them about what is right or wrong, good or evil? Have you lived among humans so long that you’ve forgotten who you truly are, your inherent nature and true form?”
“This…!”
His words left the Xin Family Foxes speechless, uncertain how to retort.
But Miss Xin Shisi was unmoved, her voice cold: “Survival of the fittest, natural selection may indeed be the nature of the beast, the logic of nature, but having begun cultivation, you should know that order must exist in the cosmos, that boundless plunder cannot be tolerated, for it will undoubtedly lead to your demise. You, consuming beasts and humans, demons and fiends, fattening yourself on the masses — how can you possibly achieve a righteous transcendence?”
