Chapter 9 The Nine-Life Fox Ancestor

"The Nine-Life Fox Ancestor, is that the half-fox?" I asked.

"That's right, it's that half-fox. People only think that she only has half a body because her upper half was destroyed by enemies, or that she failed to fully transform and lost her upper half. But they don't know that her upper half has actually become a god."

"Become a god?" Ding Kan and I were both stunned.

You must know that the pinnacle of fox demons is the nine-tailed fox. Only after further cultivation can a nine-tailed fox demon hope to become a fox immortal, but becoming a god has never been heard of throughout history. The limit of fox cultivation is a fox immortal.

Can foxes become gods? What is a fox after it becomes a god? A fox god?

Does a fox god exist in this world?

"Eighth Miss, you're not joking, are you? I know that the Investiture of the Gods conferred titles on King Zhou, but no one conferred a title on Daji. Does a fox really become a god in this world?" Ding Kan couldn't accept this idea either.

Eighth Miss sighed and softened her tone slightly, "I didn't say that she really became a fox god. She only became half a god. The other half, her deeply sinful fox body, remained in the world and became the half-fox. Foxes are ultimately inferior to you humans. So many people were granted godhood, but there's only one fox, and only half of her body became a god."

"Hey, hey, hey, Eighth Miss, wake up. Let's figure out who's the enemy and who's the friend, okay? There's still a chance to deal with the half-fox with half a fox body. If she became a god completely, we wouldn't have to bother." Ding Kan said with dissatisfaction.

Eighth Miss sighed again, "That's true, but the Fox Ancestor… Never mind, she never looked at me properly, so why should I think so much? Besides, now that she's merged with the white fox, she's completely become my enemy.

Fox clan, fox clan…"

Eighth Miss finally stopped talking, just sighing to herself.

Once Eighth Miss calmed down a bit, I told them about what I saw when my soul was detained, as well as the treasure light I felt on the road, asking them what they thought.

Eighth Miss said she had never heard of such a place, and then claimed she was tired and didn't want to talk to us anymore.

Eighth Miss definitely knew something else, but she didn't want to say it, and I couldn't ask her again.

She had been at the funeral shop for many years, and we were all in the same boat. She would tell me what I needed to know sooner or later. There was no need to keep asking her when she was in a bad mood.

Ding Kan was much more direct than Eighth Miss, insisting that I was muddle-headed and seeing things. Especially the treasure light I felt on the road was simply wishful thinking. Hearing the Rakshasi woman say there was a place of great wealth, I was obsessed with getting rich, so I was just imagining things on the way back.

The treasure light didn't exist on the road, but in my waterlogged brain.

I knew that wasn't the case. The treasure light was very real and definitely not something I could imagine out of thin air. However, I didn't argue with Ding Kan.

I asked Ding Kan if he knew where he pulled me back from.

Ding Kan said he didn't know. He only knew that it was very difficult to pull me back, and he almost vomited blood from exhaustion. If he wasn't still counting on our family's little rabbits to treat his illness, he would have given up on me a long time ago.

After the commotion just now, both Ding Kan and I were not in good condition. Ding Kan's injuries seemed to have worsened, and the treatment time probably had to be extended again. I asked Rakshasi sister to help him back to his room to rest, and I also went back to my room to lie down for a while, but I didn't fall asleep.

They could tamper with the paper I bought back, so they could naturally tamper with other things. Thinking that there was a powerful figure staring at me, planning to plot against me, I really couldn't sleep. It felt terrible to have a big knife hanging over my head, ready to fall at any moment.

I'm only twenty-three years old, and I haven't lived enough. I'm raising a house full of evil spirits. What will happen to these evil spirits if I die?

Even the crazy old Taoist knew to find a successor in advance. Where is my successor? Ding Kan? This kid complains about being bored every day while recuperating in the shop. Is it possible for him to guard this shop for the rest of his life?

Ding Kan can't take over my job. Who else can I find? No one else has the ability.

Besides, even if I found a capable successor, I still have to get the approval of that guy in the basement. If he doesn't approve, even someone with heaven-defying abilities would be useless.

I tossed and turned, thinking seriously for half the night, and came to the conclusion that I couldn't die, absolutely couldn't die. Even if the old fox whose half-body had become a god came to trouble me personally, I would have to compete with her.

What was that saying? People are not born to be defeated.

I'll fight to find out who wins.

I'll start investigating tomorrow. Since she manipulated the paper, then I'll start with the paper.

Okay, not tomorrow, but today. It's already dawn. For the sake of my life, I can't sleep anymore.

Considering that I didn't sleep well all night, I didn't drive myself. I took a taxi directly to the shop where I bought the paper the day before yesterday. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the shop door was tightly locked, with a white flag stuck on the door.

According to our tradition here, a small red flag is placed on the door when a new baby is born in the family, and a small white flag is placed on the door when someone dies in the family. There was a funeral in the shop.

I quickly went to the shop next door to ask, and then I was stunned. The shop owner died, along with his entire family, without exception.

"How did they die? What happened?" I asked quickly.

"It's said to be food poisoning. They were fine the day before. It was the birthday of the child in the family, and the whole family ate together. As a result, the whole family was sent away."

"What did they eat that was poisonous? Where did they buy it from?" After asking this, I subconsciously added quickly, "Never mind, don't tell me. Let the police investigate."

Then I turned around and left, without asking another question. In fact, I was very afraid that the owner next door would tell me where the poisonous food came from.

The paper shop owner wouldn't suddenly have food poisoning. It was obvious that my clue was cut off. If I followed the poisonous food to find out, then the vegetable seller might have a car accident.

We are all people of the Xuan Gate (mysterious sect), so let's find a solution through the Xuan Gate method.

Back at the shop, the lovely evil spirits were busy. I asked them what they were busy with.

Little Long told me that Grandma Yin asked them to check every place in the shop, and no suspicious things could be let go. What happened yesterday must not happen again.

I gratefully cupped my fist at Grandma Yin and took a few sheets of paper to start making things.

I was making a shop, the paper shop.
