Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 87

After consigning the pills to the Treasure Pavilion, Yan Zhao asked the attendant for directions to the Drug God Sect's rest stop in Sand City before leaving.

Yan Zhao was consigning several thousand pills, and the attendant, showing great respect, said, "After leaving our Pavilion, turn right and walk straight. The rest stop is marked by a flame flag with a three-legged cauldron on it."

"Thank you."

Leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Yan Zhao didn't get far before the street was blocked by a crowd of cultivators. The dense crowd made it impossible to pass, so she had to stop and follow the gazes of the people around her.

By the roadside was a notice board, and someone was pasting a new piece of leather paper on it.

Yan Zhao had seen this kind of leather paper before—it was a wanted notice.

"Sand Bandits?" someone near the notice board whispered. "Sand City's outskirts are rampant with Sand Bandits. The bounty has been posted several times but hasn't been resolved yet. Wow, the reward is substantial—ten million spirit stones! Plus a ten percent discount on herb transactions at the Treasure Pavilion? Should we give it a try?"

"You try it yourself. I'm not getting involved in this mess! Don't say I didn't warn you; I heard this batch of Sand Bandits is no ordinary group. The leader seems to be a Nascent Soul stage expert, and he has Golden Core stage cultivators under him. Any merchant caravan targeted by them hasn't escaped unscathed! Be careful, or you might lose your life for money!"

"Really... that formidable? Then forget it."

After the wanted notice was posted, it briefly attracted the attention of passing cultivators, but they soon dispersed, leaving only Yan Zhao still standing in front of the board.

A leader of the Nascent Soul stage...

Yan Zhao tilted her head and pondered. A task of that difficulty, given the level difference, was indeed challenging.

However, just because it was challenging didn't mean it was impossible.

She planned to give it a try.

But as soon as her hand touched the leather paper, a fluffy little paw emerged from her arms and pressed down on the wanted notice.

Yan Zhao looked down and met the little fox's green, glowing eyes, trying to pull off the notice.

However, the wanted notice remained firmly held down by the little fox's paw.

"......"

Yan Zhao pursed her lips and tried to persuade the little fox, "The reward is very high."

The little fox shook its head resolutely.

From its bright eyes, Yan Zhao could read three words: No, not, possible!

"......Alright." Yan Zhao sighed.

She turned and left, glancing back three times with lingering reluctance at the conditions on the wanted notice.

Unfortunately, the little fox was very adamant, so Yan Zhao had to compromise.

A moment later, Yan Zhao found the rest stop.

The resident disciple of the Drug God Sect was flipping through a ledger at the counter and looked up when he heard footsteps. "Are you here to stay or to eat?"

Yan Zhao placed the token given to her by the Drug God on the table. "To eat."

The disciple glanced at the token, which looked familiar, and took a closer look. The emblem on the token was only seen on the main hall of the Drug God Sect.
