Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 92

Yan Zhao glanced at Chen Er, "You tapped its head with your chopsticks. It didn't like that."

The little fox: "..."

"Oh, so that's it!" Chen Er wiped her face with her sleeve, not offended at all. She raised her wine cup toward the fox in apology, "Sorry, it was my fault, just a careless mistake. I'll punish myself with a drink!" With that, she downed the entire cup in one gulp.

Xuan Yuanmu's gaze fell on the spirit fox, as if looking through it to a distant memory. She sighed, "It really is very smart."

Yan Zhao was busy eating and replied vaguely with her mouth full, "Mhm!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from behind them. A drunk cultivator slapped his table, drawing the attention of everyone nearby.

"You guys have no idea what a scene it was!" The drunk man was enthusiastically recounting, "The Sect Leader of the Jade Immortal Sect personally acted, teamed up with three elders at the Integration Stage, and yet they still couldn't break the seal on the Xuanhuang Secret Realm!"

One of his companions asked curiously, "Who set that seal? It's so powerful!"

"I heard some rumors," a woman from a nearby table chimed in, "They say the one who sealed the Xuanhuang Secret Realm was none other than Yuanqing Immortal Venerable."

Hearing this, the drunk man became even more proud, "Last year, I had the good fortune to visit Yuanqing Immortal Venerable's abode. The laws inside were like their own world! Such divine power—no wonder Yuanqing Immortal Venerable is renowned as the greatest sealing technique master in Tianchen!"

However, a dissenting voice muttered softly, "But what about the rumors that Yuanqing Immortal Venerable stole treasures from the Immortal Realm?"

The drunk man spat angrily, "Those sanctimonious hypocrites from the Immortal Alliance—do you believe everything they say?! I don't! Yuanqing Immortal Venerable was a genius! The Dao was at her fingertips; why would she need to steal anything from them?!"

His companion quickly covered his mouth, apologizing to the surrounding people, "He's drunk, just talking nonsense! Please don't take him seriously!"

The drunk man tried to resist, but his companion knocked him out with a quick chop to the neck and dragged him away.

Chen Er withdrew her gaze from the next table, playing with her empty wine cup, and remarked thoughtfully, "A year has passed, and the Xuanhuang Secret Realm still hasn't been opened. I wonder if anyone managed to get what they were after."

Xuan Yuanmu knew what Chen Er was referring to. She lowered her eyes and took another sip of her wine.

The booklet given to Yan Zhao by the Medicine God also mentioned the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. Yan Zhao looked up, "Is it impossible to enter this place?"

"Are you interested too, Miss Yan?" Chen Er perked up, "But it's a seal set by Yuanqing Immortal Venerable. It's not something that can be easily broken."

"Yuanqing Immortal Venerable?" Yan Zhao blinked.

She had heard the name before when she was at the Fuyun Sect. The sect members often said that Yuanqing Immortal Venerable was the one who brought her to Fuyun Sect from the mortal world. But by the time she heard the story, Yuanqing Immortal Venerable had already passed away.

Yan Zhao had never seen her and didn't even know what she looked like.

"You don't know Yuanqing Immortal Venerable?" Chen Er was astonished. "Miss Yan, you shouldn't just focus on cultivation all the time—you need to listen to more gossip too!"
