Chapter 306: Miracle Book

Chapter 306: Miracle Book

"Aunty, what is this?!" Ling Yun asked with doubt.

Tie Xiaohu, Li Yunxiang, and Liu Li couldn't suppress their curiosity. They gathered to examine the item in question.

It was obvious from both Li Yunxiang and Liu Li's expressions that it was the first time they had laid their eyes upon this book.

Ling Yun was stopped by Mother Li as he tried to open the book. "Child, this book is for you. Read it when you are home."

Ling Yun conceded because of Mother Li's mysterious demeanor. He stored it away in his pockets immediately.

This book most certainly had something to do with the Human Sovereign since Mother Li had brought it out when they were discussing it.

Mother Li appeared as though nothing had happened after she gave him the book. She busied herself with lunch preparations. Together with her daughter-in-law, they made dumplings with leek stuffing.

Mother Li and Liu Li's cooking skills turned out to be very good, much to Ling Yun's surprise. The mother-daughter duo whipped up a full table of dishes. Even though they were all normal dishes, every one of them was filled with flavor.

Ling Yun felt even closer to the Li Family after lunch. Their communication became more intimate and natural.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhuang Meifeng called, which gave Ling Yun an excuse to bid them goodbye. His mind was constantly on the book that Mother Li had given him. He wanted to dive into it as soon as possible.

The Li Family knew that Ling Yun was a busy man, so they didn't try to keep him. The three of them sent him off happily.

"Ling Yun is such a good kid. Our Li Family is finally getting Lady Luck's grace," Mother Li said lightly as the Black Audi disappeared into the horizon.

Liu Li's eyes sparkled as she recalled a fond memory.

...

Ling Yun started to read the tattered old book immediately as Tie Xiaohu concentrated on driving.

It was an ancient thread-bound book. Threads had frayed off and the pages could come loose at any time. The pages of the book had completely yellowed with their edges worn out.

Ling Yun opened the book with care. To his amazement, the book was meant to be read from right to left, just like those in the Cultivation World.

Moreover, it used Traditional Chinese characters that Ling Yun didn't understand. He could only guess most parts.

It was a handwritten copy divided into three parts. The first was "The Book of Burial Rites", which was written in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The second part was "Tomb of Tombs", which mainly recorded where the major officials were buried. The last part was the author's personal record of the tombs he had raided.

This book was authored by Li Yunxiang's ancestors without a doubt.

Ling Yun was most intent on finding which tomb the Emperor Brush was stolen from. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to get any hint after glancing through the three parts.

Li Yunxiang's ancestors must have found it worthless since it couldn't be sold and naturally hadn't recorded it.

However, Li Yunxiang's ancestors were careful people. He had recorded not only the process of the raid but also the location. That increased Ling Yun's hopes.

I'll visit when the time comes, Ling Yun decided. Ling Yun would have to search one by one since he didn't know which tomb it came from.

Ling Yun stored the book in his spatial ring since he couldn't read the rest of the traditional chinese characters. He decided to go back to the book after he mastered the traditional chinese characters.

His memory was god-like anyways. He needed only a single scan to memorize them.

This book was a Miracle Book. Ling Yun was sure that it would be of great use to him in the future when he advanced in his martial arts.

"Big Brother Yun, where are we heading now?" Tie Xiaohu asked as they approached the outer ring of Qingshui City.

"Let's find a convenient store to grab some stuff before going to the rental house," Ling Yun replied.

Ling Yun bought some food and water at Hua Lian Super Mart and stored them away in the spatial ring.

It was for the exploratory trip into the Crater tonight.

Ling Yun had originally wanted to buy two daggers as weapons. He dismissed that idea when he realized that no dagger could come close to his Emperor Brush.

At two thirty in the afternoon, Ling Yun returned to the rental place and instructed Tie Xiaohu to go home and get some rest. Tie Xiaohu agreed as he hadn't managed to have a proper rest for the past two nights.

Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei rushed out from the house once Ling Yun opened the door. Zhuang Meifeng plunged and buried herself into Ling Yun's arms. "You idiot! You've been out all morning. I'm so anxious I could die!" Xiao Meimei wailed.

Ling Yun smiled bitterly. He was unable to refute that. He swept Zhuang Meifeng into his arms and walked into the house.

"Put me down. Big Sister Xiao is looking," Zhuang Meifeng reminded Ling Yun bashfully.

"No problem. I didn't see anything!" Xiao Meimei gave Ling Yun a seductive look and followed behind them in good spirits.

Ling Yun knew from their behavior that all the barriers between them had broken down completely after the harrowing night. Their relationship had improved more than a hundredfold.

Ling Yun settled himself on the sofa with Zhuang Meifeng still in his arms. He started to grope Zhuang Meifeng's breasts but was pushed away shyly by Zhuang Meifeng. Ling Yun could only give that idea up for that time being.

"Where is Little White?" Ling Yun inquired when he realized that she was not at home.

Ling Yun would definitely want Little White by his side when he explored the crater tonight. Little White was familiar with that area since she resided in that tree hole right beside the crater. She could act as his danger alarm.

Zhuang Meifeng wanted Ling Yun's big hand to caress her breasts but suppressed her carnal desires since Xiao Meimei was sitting opposite of them. With a graceful twist of her waist, she lifted her round butt from Ling Yun's legs.

Zhuang Meifeng settled herself beside Ling Yun and sorted out her long locks before replying to Ling Yun, "Little White? You mean the white fox that suddenly sprouted an extra tail?"

"Ling Yun, you haven't told us why that white fox grew another tail suddenly."

These two women had seen the Protection of the Nine Dragons and were willing to die for him. There was really no point in concealing anything any more. He thus told them truthfully that Little White was a nine-tailed celestial fox.

"What? Little White will have nine tails? Then... Then wouldn't it be..."

Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei's face lost color. Ling Yun had described Little White as a celestial being, but Little White was simply a demon.

"Yes, she is a vixen, the most powerful of vixens!" Ling Yun found their expressions really interesting and deliberately teased them.

That was totally out of their expectations. Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei exchanged fearful looks as Zhuang Meifeng turned pale and stammered, "D-Does it eat humans?"

Zhuang Meifeng once again plunged herself into Ling Yun's arms, enabling him to feel her shivering in fright.

Ling Yun couldn't bear to tease Zhuang Meifeng further. He scraped Zhuang Meifeng's pretty nose and smiled. "Think about it. If it does eat humans, do you think you would still be alive?"

"Little White had its own consciousness when I first came across her. Now that she has grown another tail, her intelligence is far higher than normal humans. She won't eat humans. When Little White's third tail grows out, she will be able to transform into human form. Once that happens, she will be able to speak and will be no different from a normal human being."

Zhuang Meifeng was startled. Her fear seemed to have dissipated into thin air. Her face turned a deep red suddenly as she sat up straight in Ling Yun's arms. "Transform into a human? Man or woman?!" Zhuang Meifeng asked indignantly.

"Have you seen a male vixen before?" Ling Yun grinned.

Zhuang Meifeng froze. He was right. She recalled Da Ji, the vixen who had destroyed a country. She realized that there was really no male vixen in the Investiture of Gods .

F*ck, Ling Yun had even brought a real vixen home. What was she trying so hard to fend girls off for?!

Ling Yun was just paving the way for the future for Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei to be psychologically prepared for Little White's inevitable transformation into a human.

Zhuang Meifeng had suffered a huge shock. All kinds of emotions tangled together, which created another explosion of shock and subverted her world view.

Xiao Meimei accepted it more readily. She had had the feeling that Little White was more human than beast when they had been heading to save Ling Yun the night before.

"I really want to know how Little White will look like when it transforms into a human..." Xiao Meimei sighed and turndc her charming eyes towards Ling Yun. That was obviously targeted at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun laughed and said casually, "Why does that matter? In my heart, both of you are the most beautiful vixens..."
