Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Vol 2 Chapter 135: Finding the Landing Bead

Ignoring her shock, Zhang Xuan formed a sword with his fingers and pointed it at the deep pit. With three consecutive strikes, the stones flew, and the half-foot deep pit became over a meter deep. Jumping into it, he activated the Fox Charm Destiny technique. In an instant, a gentle glow enveloped him.

"Come in quickly!"

Zhang Xuan shouted, and Fu Yingying hurried over to him. She held him again, and in the next moment, a flash of light appeared, and the two of them vanished together.

When they reappeared, it was in another cave. However, this one was clearly different from the previous one. Sunlight occasionally streamed through the stone cracks in the ceiling, and the wind carried a slight chill.

Fu Yingying activated the Fox Charm Destiny ability. A thin layer of Heaven's Fate Energy immediately spread out, drifting away into the distance.

"I can sense it..."

The girl’s eyes brightened as she turned to look at Zhang Xuan, just as she was about to speak. She saw Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows suddenly raise.

"Not good!"

Before Fu Yingying could react to what he was doing, she suddenly felt a chilling presence rush toward her back. At that moment, a fox, over two meters long, appeared out of nowhere and lunged toward the young man.

Zhang Xuan didn't retreat. Instead, he threw a punch.

"Bang!" The fox was sent flipping through the air, tumbling over ten meters before crashing into the wall. It looked at Zhang Xuan with fear before turning and disappearing into the gloomy cave.

Fu Yingying looked at him with admiration.

If it hadn’t been for him just now, she might have been seriously injured.

The fox's strength had already reached the Star River First Level, and in terms of combat ability, it was much stronger than Su Yunzhe. Yet it was repelled with a single punch. Zhang Xuan's strength had clearly grown far beyond what it had been when he killed Li Yue'an.

"Don’t casually use Destiny powers. Otherwise, before you find the Fallen Earth Pearl, the fox might be drawn to us."

Ignoring Fu Yingying’s admiration, Zhang Xuan frowned and gave a quick warning.

"Got it!"

Fu Yingying shrank her neck, glancing in the direction the fox had gone. "Should we follow it? The family head said the fox is interested in the Fallen Earth Pearl. It might be heading in the direction where the treasure is hidden…"

"Let’s go the opposite way."

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"The opposite way?" Fu Yingying was confused.

The direction the fox had left seemed like the one where the treasure might be. Why would they go the opposite way?

Before she could finish her thought, she suddenly understood and looked at Zhang Xuan in disbelief.

"You mean... this fox is trying to lead us away from the Fallen Earth Pearl?"

"Not exactly…"

Zhang Xuan shook his head. "When the fox missed its strike, it immediately retreated. If I’m right, it either has an ambush or a trap set up where it is. If we follow it, we might fall into a passive position. It’s better to do the opposite. If the fox follows us, we can turn the situation around and take the initiative!"

"Ah, I see now!"

Fu Yingying understood at once.

The two turned and followed a different path, passing through two intersections before Zhang Xuan gently pulled her behind a rock, where they waited in silence.

The cave was eerily quiet. Fu Yingying could clearly hear the faint heartbeat of the young man next to her, along with the warmth he radiated.

Her face turned pink, and for a moment, she wished this time could last forever.

But that thought didn’t last long. The sound of footsteps came from the direction they had just passed, and there were more footsteps than before.

Fu Yingying peered through the stone crack, and her pupils contracted in surprise.

The fox they had seen earlier had indeed followed them. What’s more, two others, even larger than the first, were following behind. They exuded a far stronger aura, and even without checking, Fu Yingying knew they were stronger than the first fox.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It seemed the others were right. These two must have been hiding in the location where the fox had been. If they had followed earlier, they would likely have been ambushed.

Her heart raced, and she instinctively moved closer, then sent a thought message.

"What should we do?"

The first fox was already at the Star River First Level. These two would definitely be stronger. Even though Zhang Xuan was powerful, he hadn't broken through yet. If three Star River level beasts attacked, he might not be able to defend himself.

As she was feeling tense, Zhang Xuan’s deep voice rang in her ear:

"Stay here and wait."

Before she could respond, his figure had already disappeared from her sight.

Despite the overwhelming strength of the three source beasts, Zhang Xuan was not afraid to take the initiative. Fu Yingying stared in panic.

Inside the cave, Zhang Xuan stood like a statue, a punch sent the first fox flying, then another punch took down the second, and with a third punch, the last fox fell.

Fu Yingying's eyes widened in disbelief.

She had thought the gap between her and Zhang Xuan wasn't that big and that with some effort, she could catch up. But now, she realized just how naive that thought had been.

This wasn’t just a gap; it was a chasm.

Three punches to defeat three Star River Realm beasts… This strength was something even a typical Star River Second Level cultivator couldn’t match!

A peak Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator was supposed to have 999 horsepower, but how had Zhang Xuan done this?

As she was still stunned, Zhang Xuan appeared to have dealt with the threat. He clapped his hands and walked toward her.

Fu Yingying smiled and was about to greet him when her expression suddenly changed. "Be careful, they still have fighting strength..."

Through her gaze, the three source beasts that had just been sent flying with three punches were standing up again, slowly approaching them.

Zhang Xuan’s three punches hadn’t taken their fighting ability away!

She realized she had been careless. She should have gone in to finish them off earlier.

Filled with regret, Fu Yingying was wondering how to deal with it when the three foxes suddenly charged forward again. But this time, Zhang Xuan seemed unaware, still walking casually toward her.

"You..."

Fu Yingying’s face went pale. She couldn’t hide anymore and ran over to block the attack, trying to protect him. But as she approached, she saw that the once fierce foxes were now acting as docile as kittens, wagging their large tails and looking charming.

Where had all the killing intent gone?

"What… is going on?"

Fu Yingying was confused.

These foxes had been trying to kill them just moments ago, and now they were acting like pets. What had happened?

"Go lead us to the Fallen Earth Pearl."

Ignoring her shock, Zhang Xuan commanded the three foxes.

"Chirp chirp~~"

The three foxes nodded and turned, trotting off toward the distance.

"Let’s go! We don’t have to look for it ourselves now..."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

"This..." Fu Yingying blinked, still not fully grasping what had just happened.

Had he tamed them? Was it really that easy?

Could it be that his Fox Charm ability worked not only on people but also on animals?

Unaware of her thoughts, Zhang Xuan walked after the three foxes, leading her through multiple paths until they reached a slightly larger cave.

The cave was filled with hay, and a small, reddish tree stood in the corner, two ping-pong ball-sized fruits hanging from it. The fruits were white with a hint of red, and even from a distance, the sweet fragrance made them feel intoxicated, like opium.

"This fruit contains something that can numb the mind…" Zhang Xuan realized.

No wonder the family head said that the Fallen Earth Pearl was useful for cultivating Fox Charm Destiny. It was clear now that the fruit contained a substance that could induce hallucinations, and consuming it would greatly increase the charm ability.

"Go ahead and pick it." Zhang Xuan turned to Fu Yingying.

This was her test, and if she wanted to earn the inheritance, she had to do it herself.

"Okay!"

Fu Yingying hurried over and reached out for one of the fruits. She quietly watched the foxes, relieved when they didn’t seem angry, then placed her palm on the fruit.

"Ah!"

Her face flushed red as she swayed slightly, looking like she had drunk too much.

"What… is this? Did I get drugged?"

She hadn’t expected that just touching the fruit would have such an effect. Fu Yingying, a peak Dharma Aspect cultivator, looked dazed. Zhang Xuan was about to step forward to help when he saw her eyes turn toward him, her face flushed.

The next moment, her light robe slipped to the ground, revealing her shapely, alluring figure.

"Zhang Xuan…"

She bit her red lips, her eyes filled with sweetness.

Fu Yingying was already very beautiful, and now with these gestures, her slender body and gentle words added to her allure.

Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but admire her figure. From every angle, it had a powerful visual impact. Everything was perfectly proportioned, neither too much nor too little.

After a long pause, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, this pose is very seductive. It’s much better than before… Keep it up!"

"???"

Fu Yingying was stunned.
