Chapter 299: Stealing the Hundred Flavor Fruit, Chen Changsheng: It’s Just About Being Familiar with the Process
Western Central Hezhou Mighty Donkey Clan.
“Little Taoist, is this really okay?”
Hu Tudou nervously looked around with two donkey ears on her head, while Chen Changsheng casually greeted the surrounding donkey demons.
“Don’t worry, most demon clans rely on scent to identify enemies and allies.”
“We sprinkled a special powder on ourselves, to the donkey clan, we look just like them.”
Hearing this, doubt filled Hu Tudou’s eyes.
“I’m a demon clan too; how come I don’t know about this?”
“You wouldn’t know because you haven’t encountered other unfamiliar members of your clan.”
“All demon clans are formed from the spirits of all things taking human shape, meaning that before taking human form, you wouldn’t know what they would look like.”
“If you don’t rely on scent to identify, how could you tell who is from your clan and who isn’t?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Tudou seriously contemplated for a moment, suddenly realizing.
“It seems to be that way!”
“What if we use spiritual sense to investigate? Can this powder bypass the detection of spiritual sense?”
“It cannot.”
“Ah!”
“What do we do then? If someone uses spiritual sense to investigate us, won’t we be exposed?”
Seeing Hu Tudou in a panic, Chen Changsheng smiled and pressed down on her head to prevent her from making too many movements that could give them away.
“Don’t panic; the powder really can’t bypass spiritual sense detection, but as of now, no one is using spiritual sense on us!”
“Moreover, in the cultivation world, cultivators can’t simply investigate others with spiritual sense.”
“Because that’s considered a provocation.”
“Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, you wouldn’t have such worries.”
“For example, if you are in the heart of the Fox Clan and you encounter a face you’ve never seen before.”
“The scent on him is indeed that of the Fox Clan, and based on assumptions, he is likely a newly transformed fox demon.”
“In such a situation, would you use spiritual sense to investigate him?”
Hu Tudou honestly shook her head in response.
“No, because that would be very rude.”
“That’s it! In the eyes of those donkey demons, we are likewise newly transformed donkey demons.”
“Out of the blue, why would he use spiritual sense on us?”
Just as they were speaking, a voice rang out from behind Chen Changsheng.
“Hey, you two little stubborn donkeys, what are you doing?”
Hearing this, Hu Tudou’s body instantly stiffened.
However, Chen Changsheng walked over with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, senior. I’m here with my sister to see the world.”
Upon hearing this response, the donkey demon who stopped Chen Changsheng glanced at Hu Tudou’s not yet fully transformed ears and then looked back at Chen Changsheng, expressing dissatisfaction.
“What kind of older brother are you? You brought your sister out before she completed her transformation.”
“Senior, please don’t mock me. My sister has poor talent and hasn’t been able to fully succeed in her transformation.”
“That’s why I brought her here to our clan’s heart, hoping to find an ancestor of my lineage to give us some guidance.”
“I see!”
“You little stubborn donkey might not be strong, but you have a good heart.”
“To your left is where our clan’s strong power resides; your ancestor is probably there.”
“To your right is our clan’s sacred ground, which is also your forbidden ground.”
“Be careful not to accidentally enter; watch out for your donkey skin.”
“Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior.”
Chen Changsheng thanked the donkey demon profusely and then cheerfully said,
“Did you see? Now we don’t even need to scout for the location.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s proud face, Hu Tudou said with envy, “Little Taoist, how do you stay so calm?”
“We’re stealing something here; I’m terrified!”
“It’s simple, just get familiar with it!”
“The most important thing in stealing is not to deceive others but to deceive yourself.”
“If you can’t deceive yourself, then feelings of guilt will show through.”
“Always showing signs of guilt makes it hard for others not to suspect you’re a thief.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng explain, Hu Tudou’s eyes lit up, and she nodded, as the little Taoist’s words seemed reasonable.
“Right, but we should discuss the main business. The Hundred Flavor Fruit is probably inside the donkey clan’s sacred ground.”
“I’ll go in to get the item, and after you take it, you’ll be responsible for bringing it out.”
“Do you remember the escape technique I taught you a few days ago?”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, Hu Tudou shyly said, “Little Taoist, that escape technique is too complicated; I’m not confident I can use it fully.”
“How about you assign me another task?”
“No problem, you go in to get the Hundred Flavor Fruit, and I’ll be responsible for bringing it out.”
“But don’t blame me for not reminding you; with your small build, if a cultivator from the Mighty Donkey Clan slaps you, you’ll probably turn into a ‘fox cake’ immediately.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Tudou’s ears immediately trembled.
“Forget it, I think this task is too risky.”
Saying this, Hu Tudou ran off to the designated waiting spot.
Seeing Hu Tudou vigilantly scanning the surroundings, Chen Changsheng smiled, then urged forward towards the donkey clan’s sacred ground.
…
Time passed little by little, and Hu Tudou’s heart was in her throat.
She glanced at the donkey clan’s sacred ground from time to time, anxiously saying, “Why hasn’t this little Taoist come out yet? He hasn’t been caught, has he?”
“What if he gets caught and spills the beans about me?”
“No, the little Taoist wouldn’t do that; after all, he’s quite dependable.”
“If he really gets caught, I could only look for Grandma to save him…”
“You little fox, you’ve got a good heart.”
Just as she said that, Chen Changsheng’s voice rang from behind her.
Turning around, she saw Chen Changsheng, who had vanished for a long time, suddenly appeared behind her.
Hu Tudou instantly rejoiced and said, “Little Taoist, did you succeed?”
“Of course! When Chen Changsheng steps in, what can’t I obtain?”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng handed a beast skin bag to Hu Tudou.
“This bag contains forty-nine Hundred Flavor Fruits; take this and leave immediately.”
“Why the hurry; you weren’t detected. Wouldn’t leaving in a rush give us away?”
“Very clever; you’ve learned to think outside the box.”
“But look over there.”
Following where Chen Changsheng pointed, Hu Tudou’s fox ears perked up.
She saw the once calm sky suddenly tear open, and a powerful momentum surged from it.
“You little thief, stop!”
Hu Tudou: (っ °Д °;)っ
“Why aren’t you running? Are you waiting to be roasted as a fragrant fox?”
Chen Changsheng’s voice rang in her ears, and Hu Tudou instantly revealed her original form and quickly disappeared.
Looking at Hu Tudou who’s running with all her might, Chen Changsheng chuckled, “Little fox, you run pretty fast.”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng flew towards the donkey clan’s strong power that emerged from the spatial tear.
