I Just Want to Live a Good Life but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 94 Two Eyes
“So now you mean that even if we want to relocate, it will take time, right?” Hua Liangchen pondered for a moment. It had never considered such a profound question before. Now that it thought about it carefully, it was very easy for a single fox to leave this place, but to take the entire group with it, including those foxes that were not spirit foxes. With a number exceeding a thousand, in the eyes of those predators, they were simply a large moving piece of meat . Leaving this place without being sure whether the route was safe or not, their survival rate could not be guaranteed at all.

“Don’t you think that relocating is something that can be done casually? You will inherit the position of patriarch in the future. In the past, you were still young, so we let you do whatever you wanted. Now that you are an adult, it’s time for you to think about this kind of thing. As a leader, the lives of your followers are in your hands. Your decisions will determine everyone’s life and death. You must think carefully before making any decisions.”
“That’s right. And you said that the person who saved you was just a young cultivator. He’s definitely not some kind of expert. Maybe he just wanted to trick you into speaking so he could talk nonsense. Don’t take it seriously.” An elder said.
“I don’t think he’s talking nonsense. If he really was talking nonsense, it would be too much of a coincidence. You always say that we’ve lived here for decades, and in all those decades, we’ve never been discovered by humans. It’s very safe. But why is it that after he left those words, there have been abnormal…”
Before Hua Liangchen could finish speaking, it was interrupted by an elder, “We’re not sure if it’s a human yet. At least we haven’t detected any residual human aura.”
“Yeah, it’s possible that we’re too tired and our sense of smell is off.” The two spirit foxes at the early stage of Golden Core Realm echoed.
Because the people around them had started to waver, once restlessness and fear spread, everyone would become flustered and restless. The pressure caused them to start doubting whether they had really smelled the human aura at that time.
Hua Liangchen’s younger sister, the little white fox, carefully sniffed the grass and the ground at this time, “It’s not that Uncle’s sense of smell is off. Although it’s very faint and constantly dissipating, there really is a strange smell.”
The elders’ attitudes changed immediately when they heard this, because they all knew how powerful the little white fox’s sense of smell was. However, it was not possible to rule out the possibility that it was deliberately helping its brother speak, so they still had to give it a little beating.
“Ningyan, you can’t joke about this kind of thing. It’s very serious.”
“Did you really smell a strange smell? Are you sure it’s a human smell?”
The little white fox named Ningyan shook her head, “I don’t know if it’s a human, but it’s a strange smell.”
“Could it be that some kind of stink bug accidentally left it behind?”
“I clearly know the difference between the smell of insects and animals!” The little white fox puffed up her face.
“Alright, alright, alright.” Everyone hurriedly began to coax her.
The patriarch, who was also Little Ningyan’s father, spoke up at this time. It was a large and strong white fox, “It’s better to be safe than sorry. The Grand Elder once left a prophecy that my son Liangchen would not be able to survived his 20th birthday. Now that Liangchen has become an adult, the prophecy has failed. You may think that the Grand Elder was too old and his astrology prophecy ability had declined greatly, so he made a mistake. But don’t forget, the Grand Elder’s prophecy led us to avoid so many dangers. Before he passed away, he also accurately predicted several things… Previously, Liangchen did not say that he had been saved by a human. Now, combined with what he said, perhaps his Disaster was changed by that young human.”
“Changing one’s fate is equivalent to going against the will of heaven. He blocked a disaster for Liangchen, and he himself will suffer a death disaster. If he did not suffer it, or if he successfully avoided the death disaster, he must be a person of great fortune. Only a person of great fortune can go against the will of heaven.”
“People of great fortune are extremely rare. Liangchen, tell me in detail what the human you met looked like.”
Because the patriarch had connected the prophecy error with Hua Liangchen’s encounter, the original logical error now became non-existent. It not only explained why the prophecy of the late Grand Elder was wrong but also increased the authenticity of what the ‘person of great fortune ‘ had said. Therefore, the spirit fox elders all began to take it seriously.
“He looks… How should I put it? He should be considered very good-looking among humans, right?” Hua Liangchen said uncertainly. Because it had never seen a human before, it carefully recalled Ye Yong’s appearance and described it in as much detail as possible, “He has two eyes, a nose in the middle of his face, and a mouth below it.”
Unfortunately, for foxes that had never seen humans, it was obviously impossible to expect them to describe them accurately.
The elders all rolled their eyes and looked at the little white fox, Hua Ningyan. Hua Ningyan’s descriptive and expressive abilities were undoubtedly much stronger than her brother’s, but she had not met Ye Yong face-to-face at that time, and had only observed him in the grass, so instead of focusing on his appearance, she was more inclined to describe Ye Yong’s clothing, aura, and various actions.
After listening to Hua Ningyan’s description, the spirit foxes had a general impression of Ye Yong. He was a young man dressed in white, with a casual and unrestrained demeanor in his every move, giving people a sense of ease.
“Organize an investigation and see if there are any traces left in the vicinity that can confirm that a human has broken in. In any case, if there is any unusual situation in this forest compared to usual, report it immediately.” The patriarch quickly began to arrange tasks: “Go and wake up the three elders. Regardless of whether or not a human has broken in, we should consider relocating. After all, the Great Elder’s prophecy is not yet complete. After Liangchen is killed, our clan will also follow suit. The fact that Liangchen’s disaster was averted does not mean that our clan’s disaster has also been averted.”
“Yes.” The adult white foxes quickly dispersed and followed the patriarch’s orders.
“You two, don’t run around.” After giving some instructions to the siblings, the patriarch entered the depths of the forest to discuss matters with the elders.
“Brother Liangchen, are we in trouble?” After the adults left, the children began to gather.
There were not many newly-adults and underage spirit foxes, only about 20. At this time, everyone surrounded Hua Liangchen and Hua Ningyan.
“I don’t know.” Hua Liangchen shook his head. It seemed that he had not taken the words that Ye Yong had said at the beginning to heart, but now they were like seeds that had germinated in his heart and were growing rapidly , unable to stop, making him restless.
“Let’s behave ourselves and not cause trouble for the elders.” Hua Ningyan made a more sensible suggestion.
Hua Ningyan was the darling of the spirit foxes. Regardless of whether it was the elders, the younger generation, or those younger than her, everyone listened to her. The group of young spirit foxes chatted for a while about Ye Yong, then went their separate ways and stayed home quietly.
As for the other foxes that were not spirit foxes, although they could not communicate with humans through speech like spirit foxes, foxes were very intelligent creatures. They knew that there might be trouble, but because they had always been very safe following the spirit fox clan, this time they also planned to follow the spirit fox clan’s arrangements. Before long, the foxes dispersed one after another, the bonfire gradually dimmed, and the surroundings returned to silence.
