"You're not wrong about that." Hu Lili replied to Zefyr as she nodded in agreement. "However, since you and the other natural races aren't beasts like me, you don't have accurate information about the ten-tailed fox. Indeed, he is the ancestor of the fox races, but not in a literal sense, as he was born out of the hopes of the fox races."
"Oh?" Zhang Fei and Zefyr were even more shocked to hear that the fox races could give birth to a new individual because of their hopes.
Hu Lili smiled as she observed their expressions and proceeded with her explanation. "All fox races have always lived oppressed lives in the past, so they hoped for a savior who could save them and bring them a better life, and the birth of the ten-tailed fox fulfilled their hopes.
Since then, the lives of the fox races have undergone significant changes, particularly due to the emergence of the ten-tailed fox as a powerful mythical beast. After that, he challenged all the beasts, including the mythical ones who were as strong as him, in an effort to free the fox races from oppression.
Once the fox races had achieved tranquility, he decided to sequester himself from the public in a secluded realm inhabited only by natural species. However, I don't have any further information about him beyond that point, and your grandfather's story likely continues after he isolated himself in that realm."
"That realm's name was the Heaven Wilderness Realm, but it has now changed to the Sky Jade Realm."
Unlike Hu Yue, who looked surprised to hear Zefyr's words, Hu Lili was not surprised by her words at all. "The first time our moon fox race ancestors moved to this realm, the ten-tailed fox no longer existed because he had split himself into the two heavenly foxes, and they had also left this realm."
"Yes." Zefyr nodded in agreement with Hu Lili, especially since she herself also knew about the early arrival of the moon fox race in the Sky Jade Realm, based on her grandfather's story.

Zhang Fei let out a soft sigh before speaking to them. "Currently, those heavenly foxes reside in a realm called Heavenly Moon Realm, and I know how to get there. However, I wouldn't be so bold as to venture there, as they belong to the same race as me, and their strength surpasses mine, rendering my bloodline useless against them."
"You really shouldn't go there now." Hu Lili replied with a nod. "Just like you, the heavenly foxes are very arrogant and cunning, and they may recognize your identity as a demon, especially since both of their ancestors have already reached nine-tailed. If that happens, then they will hunt you down, and you won't be able to do anything."
"That's why I haven't thought about going to that realm, as I'm fully aware of my strength and limit, so I thought about going there once I reach nine-tailed like their ancestors." Zhang Fei then looked at Hu Yue and rubbed her cheek. "I know it's hard to reach nine-tailed, but I will never give up, and I will try harder to achieve it.
Only then can I protect you and my other wives; I will kill anyone who has malicious intentions towards you all."
Hu Yue smiled and pressed Zhang Fei's hand to her cheek. "Don't worry, I'm sure you can achieve it. Not only will you reach the nine-tailed, but you will also reach the ten-tailed, especially since you are the man inscribed on the stone monument."
"Since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down, Yue'er." Zhang Fei then kissed Hu Yue's lips, which she immediately reciprocated, and they kissed for a while. "Honestly, I want to take you to my training space, especially since all of the features there will be useful to you.
Unfortunately, Hu Gao will find out if you disappear now, and it will cause trouble for your mother, so I will take you there in the future. For now, you can swallow the pills, and you will break through directly to the sovereign realm, so you will be one step ahead of Hu Dong."
"All right." Hu Yue replied with a sweet smile on her face.
"I know you still want to be with my daughter, but you all have to leave now." Zhang Fei quickly turned to Hu Lili, who promptly informed him of the situation. "In a moment, Hu Gao's people will patrol this area, and some of them have sensor abilities that may be able to detect your presence even if you are using your invisibility.
That's why it would be better for you guys to leave now, and I hope you don't come back here before you reach the sovereign realm."
Zhang Fei nodded in agreement with Hu Lili, and he kissed Hu Yue once more before returning to the training space. Meanwhile, his clone attempted to save the location, but was disappointed by the resulting notification.
[Ding]
[Unable to save the location due to too many restrictions.]
Zhang Fei [1] let out a heavy sigh and tried to use his warp portal to return to the southern region. When it actually opened, he immediately brought Zefyr into it, leaving the fox's mother and daughter behind.
"Yue'er, I know you still want to be with Zhang Fei, but you just need to focus on your cultivation and wait for him to come here again, and I'm sure that he will take you away on his second coming." Hu Lili then took off her clothes again and sat down cross-legged. "Let's do it; you can swallow those pills first, and I'll assist you with my qi."
However, I cannot explain it in detail to the three of you, especially since he and the others have forbidden me from telling anyone about that place. Honestly, I still wanted to train there, especially since I still couldn't adapt perfectly, but I didn't want to miss the competition, so I decided to come back. If you are curious about my training there, I will show you the results from yesterday."
After that, Chu Xing used her movement technique, giving the impression that she was dancing. Her movements were much more agile than before she trained in the training space, leaving the three women stunned.
"Hehe." Chu Xing laughed when she returned to them. "What do you three think?"
Hai Dongxin nodded slightly before answering her. "Although your improvement may not be significant, I can observe that your speed has increased, and your movements have become more fluid and nimble. Therefore, I think that Zhang Fei has something related to speed; otherwise, you wouldn't be able to improve like this in just a day of training."
"Haha." Chu Xing laughed upon hearing that. "You're not wrong about that, Elder Dongxin. Actually, there were still some things I did there yesterday, but I can't explain them in detail, and I'll show my other improvements when the competition starts."
"All right, I'll be waiting for your surprise at the competition." The Hai Twins said it at the same time.
After that, the four of them broke their returning jade, and they immediately disappeared from the city.

After he returned to the southern region, Zhang Fei [1] immediately used the Nine Cloud Steps to go to his first mission location, but he frowned as soon as he arrived there, especially after he listened to Yan Luan'er's voice transmission. 'Why did Shen Haoran send his loyalists to kill me? Ten beast cultivators in the earth realm, huh? Since they want to kill me, then I will kill them all.
As for that old man, I will do something about him after I return from my wanderings.'
"So, we'll start our journey from here, Fei?" Zefyr asked him.
"Yes." Zhang Fei [1] replied with a nod. "At first, I want to finish the mission in this area as quickly as possible, and we'll go to the second location. Unfortunately, some people want to kill me, and their journey to this area will take two days, so we'll wait while I finish my first mission."
Zefyr shook her head after hearing that. "Humans are idiots! They always think of killing other living beings!"
