My Master Knows It All

”You are very wise.” Cao Zhen watched the nine-tailed fox demon’s actions, the thunder in his hand dissipating. The next moment, in a flash, he appeared at the nine-tailed fox demon’s side, placing his hand on her neck, and said in a low voice, ”Do not resist.”

Immediately, waves of spiritual energy surged into her body, leaving a restriction.

”Alright, now we can have a proper talk.”

Cao Zhen grabbed the nine-tailed fox demon who was under restriction, flying outward as he asked, ”Speak, why have you captured so many mortals? What is your true intention?”

”We didn’t intend to do anything,” the nine-tailed fox demon replied softly, ”You have visited our clan’s city before, you should be able to see that we long for human life, especially the lives of these mortals.

We bear them no malice; we capture them only to observe their way of living, so we can live like them.”

”Hmm?” Hearing this, Cao Zhen’s brow immediately furrowed, staring fiercely at the nine-tailed fox demon, ”Do I look like a fool to you? Do you think I’m that easy to deceive? Or are you insulting my intelligence?

Stop trying to fool me with stories that wouldn’t even trick a three-year-old! Tell me, what are you really planning to do!”

The nine-tailed fox demon retorted without hesitation, ”I’m truly not lying to you. They are just ordinary humans; capturing them is of no use to us.”

”Is that so? It seems applying a bit of force on you doesn’t work.” Looking at the nine-tailed fox demon before him, Cao Zhen suddenly said, ”However, I believe that using torture for confessions is quite a crude method; I won’t forcefully interrogate you.”

The nine-tailed fox demon heard this, and her heart slightly relaxed, but the next moment, the human’s voice rose again.

”You are actually quite good-looking, for a little fox. I think there are many strange beasts who might be interested in you.

Especially in my Great Teaching; let me tell you, my Great Teaching raises quite a few pigs. What do you think would happen if I took you back and threw you into the pigsty?”

Upon hearing this, the nine-tailed fox demon seemed to momentarily go insane and shouted loudly, ”What do you intend to do! You, a being at the peak of the Immortal Path Domain, how can you do something so undignified! I tell you, I am from the Demon Clan, not the Beast Clan! You can’t do that!”

As she spoke, the nine-tailed fox demon began to twist her body frantically, the movements so intense that even the arm with which Cao Zhen was holding her was swaying.

”Behave yourself.” Cao Zhen casually smacked the nine-tailed fox demon’s rear heavily.

Truth be told, the nine-tailed fox demon, having nine tails, gave quite a good feeling when slapped.

”If you don’t want to be thrown into the pigsty, then tell me what you’re really planning!”

”I didn’t lie to you.”

Cao Zhen immediately sneered, ”Didn’t lie to me? Then why don’t you tell me, what were you planning to do when examining the spiritual talent of those human children? It seems you really want to experience what it’s like to be thrown into a pigsty.”

The nine-tailed fox demon’s body shuddered upon hearing this; this human knew they were examining the immortal cultivation talent of the children, suggesting he had been hiding in the human city for quite some time.

Startled as she was, she explained quickly, ”We assessed their cultivation talent to help them.

Besides, aiding them in cultivation isn’t harmful to them.”

”Are you truly helping them with cultivation?” Cao Zhen slapped the nine-tailed fox demon’s tail hard once more and said coldly, ”If you really intended to help them, why did you teach them your demon clan’s cultivation techniques? Why not teach them human cultivation techniques?”

The nine-tailed fox demon was utterly stunned; this human even knew which cultivation techniques their demon clan imparted to those children.

How does he know so much?

She sighed lightly and said helplessly, ”Since you already know, I won’t hide it anymore. Indeed, we have given your human children our demon clan’s cultivation techniques.

Actually, we just want to see if humans can cultivate our demon clan’s techniques...”

”Alright, enough. I will take you away and throw you into the pigsty.”

Cao Zhen was done speaking with the nine-tailed fox demon, heading directly out of the small universe.

Though he could capture this nine-tailed fox demon, this was, after all, their small universe; they could call for support at any time.

Having been exposed, why stay here instead of leaving promptly?

Besides, he had already captured a skilled opponent, which wasn’t a small gain.

Oh, and then there was Tang Xiaorui; that little girl was a high-level immortal body, and having fatefully crossed paths with him, he couldn’t leave her to these demons, so she must come along as well.

Cao Zhen made up his mind, flying towards the path from which he came, while notifying his clone to find an opportunity to take Tang Xiaorui away.

When he arrived, he was disguised as a Golden Core Stage demon clan; he flew all the way here like this, and now, returning?

Cao Zhen directly opened the nine-tailed fox demon’s Qiankun Bag, finding a flying boat in no time, and without hesitation, he drove it back towards where he had come from.

Along the way, steering the flying boat, he traveled smoothly past one fox demon city after another.
