Chapter 166 She Has a Name
"Then...the Spirit Vein of Hundred Beasts Mountain? She must know about it, right?" Lu He had no choice but to plead with Mu Fang, "Please trouble you to ask again, little brother!"
Mu Fang frowned, a little impatient, but still went.
In the blink of an eye, they were back.
"Young Master said he doesn't know, and she doesn't recognize you either. Stop bothering us and leave! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Why aren't you being polite? Want to hit me?" Lu He's eyes lit up.
This completely baffled Mu Fang: "Wait, what's your hobby? Do you like being beaten?" He shuddered as he spoke.
"Uh, no, don't misunderstand, I'm not a pervert," Lu He hurriedly explained, "I mean, will the young master personally come out and be rude to me?"
"Forget about it. You think you're worthy of the young master's help?" Mu Fang said, gesturing with his whistle. "We have a guard!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be going."
Knowing that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, Lu He quickly begged for mercy, left the area of Hundred Steps Hill, and returned to the forest.
She hid in a tree and began to ponder how she could meet the young master of the Fire Fox Clan.
We can't just wait here for her to come out on her own for half a month...
Lu He couldn't figure out how the Fire Fox Young Master, who never left Baibuqiu, knew about Tan You.
Just then, he suddenly saw a handsome young man coming from not far away in the woods. He was dressed in a green robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown with an exquisite vine pattern on his head. His face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, and he held a silver folding fan in his hand.
Its extraordinary demeanor clearly indicates that it is not a low-level demon beast.
Judging from the direction he's heading towards Hundred Steps Hill, could he also be a member of the Fire Fox Clan?
Lu He squinted and examined it carefully; this guy was an eighth-level demon beast.
Since that's the case, let's go all the way and stop him directly!
Thinking this, Lu He leaped and landed right in front of the man.
The young man in the blue robe was taken aback at first, then scrutinized her for a moment: "Fellow cultivator, what brings you to my attention?"
"Are you going to enter this Hundred Steps Hill?" Lu He asked tentatively.
"Exactly, could it be that you are too?"
"Are you a Fire Fox?"
"No, no, I am a deer demon," the man in the blue robe replied politely. "May I ask who you are, fellow cultivator?"
"My name is Qin Wu. May I ask your honorable name, fellow cultivator?" Lu He imitated his tone, speaking in a very proper manner.
"Oh, my apologies for not giving my name. I am Nagiya. I wish to ask how Miss Kotobu is doing."
“Nagi-ya, that’s a strange name…” Lu He muttered to himself. But then again, the names of monsters are definitely not so conventional.
"Um, why did you come to Baibuqiu?" Lu Heli asked Nagiya, his tone both unreasonable and assertive.
The deer demon was very polite and explained everything to her in a courteous manner.
"I am from the White-lipped Deer clan of Youxi Forest. My clan had a marriage agreement with the Fire Fox clan a hundred years ago..."
"You're here to get married?" Lu He was greatly shocked.
"Uh, no, Zhiyan and I do have..."
"Zhiyan?" Could it be the name of the young master of the Fire Fox? Her name didn't appear in the entire comic, so it turns out her name is Zhiyan, which is quite nice.
“Zhiyan is the next Fox King of the Fire Fox Clan, and I am the next Deer King of the White-lipped Deer Clan. We are a perfect match.” Nagi didn’t know why Lu He was reacting so strongly and thought she was against the marriage.
"Could it be that you and Zhiyan have reconciled? Is that why you're stopping me here?" Nagi suddenly questioned Lu He as if she had thought of something.
"Huh?" Lu He didn't expect Nagi's thought process to be so strange!
"No, is homosexuality very common among you demon beasts?"
"Huh? What else? There are no restrictions on species among demon beasts, so why would there be restrictions on gender?" Nagi looked at Lu He with an expression as if she were an idiot: "Seriously, Miss Qinwu, what exactly is your relationship with Zhiyan?"
Wait a minute, could it be that this Fire Fox Zhiyan ran away from her arranged marriage and left Hundred Steps Hill?
Lu He immediately started brainstorming.
Wait, how did she find out about Tan You? It couldn't have been love at first sight, could it?
Also, Nagiya isn't even in the manga. How did a new character appear?
This situation has occurred in previous worlds as well, when the original plot is about to be changed.
Lu He narrowed his eyes and looked at Nagi. It seemed that this guy was the key figure who changed the plot.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nagi hugged her chest. "Could it be that you've taken a liking to me? Are you lusting after me?"
It's utterly speechless. How can someone be so shameless as to pat themselves on the back?
"I have no relation to Zhiyan, but I really need to talk to her about something." Lu He finally answered Nagi's question.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you're related or not. I didn't come to Baibuqiu to get married. My clan has important matters to discuss with the fox clan."
Nagi waved her hand, ceasing her idle chatter with Lu He: "Please make way, Miss Qinwu."
"May I ask what important matter it is?" Lu He had a feeling that this matter must be related to Zhiyan leaving Baibuqiu and entering the Spirit Beast Mountain.
"You don't know that Miss Qinwu comes from Spirit Beast Mountain? What major events have happened these past two days?"
Upon hearing Nagi's question, Lu He seemed to realize that the major events that had occurred at Spirit Beast Mountain in the past few days were probably referring to the shockwaves caused by the Phoenix Power.
So that's how it is. This is the real reason why Zhiyan went to find Tanyou.
"Are you referring to the Phoenix Force?"
“Exactly!” Nagi grabbed Lu He: “Let me tell you, the world shook that day, and we sensed the aftershocks in Youxi Forest. It was because there was a barrier at Baibuqiu that blocked the aftershocks.”
Nagi couldn't help but ask Lu He, "Since you're inside the Spirit Beast Mountain, you must be able to sense where the center is, right?"
"Hehe, it's more than just perception, I was right at the center..." Lu He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"What! You were there! This is incredible, this is firsthand information!" Nagi immediately beamed and enthusiastically grabbed Lu He.
"No, you can hear me even when I'm talking to myself in such a low voice?"
"My true form is a deer, and my hearing is extremely sensitive. But let's not talk about that for now. Miss Qinwu, you must come with me to see the Fox King!" I couldn't refuse such a kind offer, which suited me perfectly.
Lu He almost chuckled out loud. This was truly a case of finding something without even looking for it.
She nodded, indicating that she was willing to go to Hundred Steps Hill with the silly deer.
The silly deer was naturally overjoyed, and enthusiastically pulled her along, asking her all sorts of questions.
As expected, when they arrived at the barrier entrance, even though Mu Fang's eyebrows were furrowed, he couldn't stop Nagi from leading Lu He inside.
This was a matter of great importance to the young master of the Deer Clan, so Lu He made a face at Mu Fang.
"You just said that wasn't a phoenix?" Nagi hadn't expected that the demon beast that could unleash the power of a phoenix wasn't actually a phoenix.
"Yes, his mother is a phoenix and his father is a big cat."
"How do you know all this in such detail?"
"Alas! It's a long story. This Tan You was originally my fellow cultivator and friend, but he was too ambitious and wanted to seize the inner core power of other demon beasts through dual cultivation."
We've entered her area of expertise.
Make up stories.
“I discovered his secret, which is why he tried to kill me with the power of the phoenix. That’s why I escaped death and came to Hundred Steps Hill to seek protection.”
It's not that I'm afraid he won't believe this kind of nonsense, it's that I'm afraid he won't
If a demonic beast practicing evil arts were to appear, it would probably be better to kill the innocent than let it go.
Just like in fantasy novels, everyone's attitude towards evil spirits and heretics is to eliminate them.
"How could such an evil cultivation technique, which allows one to steal another's inner core, have appeared?" Sure enough, Nagi was frightened.
"This is a catastrophe! We must immediately inform the Fox King, and also all the demons and beasts of the Mountain and Sea Continent! This is terrifying!" He was quite frightened.
After all, dual cultivation between demons and beasts transcends gender and species, and Nagiya cannot remain uninvolved.
Lu He has now guessed most of the truth. The original plot of the manga is probably that Nagiya came to Baibuqiu because of the rumor that the Spirit Beast Mountain has the power of a phoenix.
The young master of the Fire Fox, Zhiyan, must have entered the Spirit Beast Mountain because of this. It's just unknown how she locked onto Tan You, but it's almost certain that she doesn't like Tan You, but rather the power of the Phoenix.
"By the way, why did you come to Hundred Steps Hill to inform the Fire Fox Clan as soon as you sensed the power of the Phoenix?" Lu He wanted to confirm a conjecture.
"Because the Fire Fox Clan has the Phoenix Compass." Nagiya was a very sociable person; she would tell anyone. "Only with this can we accurately locate the Phoenix's inner core."
So that explains Huohu Zhiyan's behavior. In other words, she initially approached Tan You with a purpose, but gradually fell in love with him.
That should be the pattern.
Therefore, Lu He now needs to completely sever any possibility of Zhiyan and Tanyou spending time together.
That is to persuade Zhiyan to form an alliance with her and jointly plot to kill Tanyou and seize his inner core.
Let Zhiyan join our villainous side!
