Chapter 2218

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly after hearing this. "There is one good thing, though. The Silver Fox gave me the Flame. I think it is actually quite nice."

Although the Flame’s birth was an accident, its intelligence was undeniably high. It could not yet take human form or speak directly to Zhu Yanyi, but it could communicate its thoughts through telepathy. Zhu Yanyi liked the Flame very much.

"That is the only right thing he has ever done," Yan Aohan said directly.

Zhu Yanyi replied, "To be honest, since I came to the Saint Realm, I haven't seen the Silver Fox for a long time. I wonder how my sister is doing?"

Although it was a matter from many lifetimes ago, now that she knew, she cared deeply about her sister, whom she had never met in this life.

"Rest assured. As long as the Silver Fox is alive, you need not worry. Besides, the various medicinal herbs you need are not yet gathered. The Silver Fox likely hasn't come to see you because he hasn't finished collecting them," Yan Aohan said after a brief pause.

Zhu Yanyi thought about it. Given the Silver Fox’s wisdom, there was little that could truly trouble her. So, she casually put the matter out of her mind.

What she absolutely did not know was that the Silver Fox was currently rushing狼狈ly toward the Saint Realm.

"Master, can you still hold on?" Hu Ying, the Silver Fox’s guardian from the Heavenly Fox Clan, looked somewhat disheveled. However, his primary concern was for his master.

"It is fine. The Saint Realm is just ahead. Once we enter, we go straight to the Saint Academy. As long as we find Zhu Yanyi, we will be safe," the Silver Fox coughed, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Master, you originally could have ignored this child," Hu Ying said. In his arms, he held a swaddled infant.

"I cannot ignore him. He is a descendant of the Zhuge family. If I do not help him, I will not be able to face my old friends in the future," the Silver Fox said. He took out a bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it. The burning pain in his chest eased significantly. "Besides, without him, how could we reclaim the Strategist Alliance?"

Although injured, the Silver Fox knew the cost was worth it. He glanced at the child in the swaddle beside him. This time, he had been careless. Who could have imagined the Priest would possess such power?

"Actually, Master, we do not need the Strategist Alliance at all. That organization is useless to our Heavenly Fox Clan," Hu Ying sighed.

The Silver Fox looked at Hu Ying. "Hu Ying, you have followed me for some time. Why do you still not understand my character? I have a purpose for everything I do.

Furthermore, the original master of the Strategist Alliance has already appeared. If we do not stir up this pool of water, how can we restore order? We may look down on the Strategist Alliance, but you cannot deny that they might cause trouble for our Heavenly Fox Clan. Is that what you want to see?"

The Silver Fox’s eyes held a deep, majestic authority. Seeing this, Hu Ying hurriedly said, "Master, this subordinate was wrong."

The Silver Fox waved his hand. "You were not wrong. You simply did not know my purpose. Remember, every action our Heavenly Fox Clan takes has a purpose. Every action I, Silver Fox, take has an even clearer purpose."

She looked ahead. "Let us go. The Saint Realm is just ahead. We will reach the Saint Academy soon. There are many things waiting for us to do."

The Silver Fox headed toward the Saint Academy.

When the Ruthless Young Master woke up from her enlightenment, the first thing she smelled was the scent of barbecue. Indeed, Zhu Yanyi, having nothing else to do, had started making barbecue.

Yan Aohan never opposed anything Zhu Yanyi did. Ouyang Mingyue had not eaten barbecue in a long time and naturally wanted to relive those past moments, so she eagerly joined in.

Seeing the Ruthless Young Master wake up, Ouyang Mingyue called out, "Ruthless Young Master, come eat with us."

The Ruthless Young Master did not refuse. He walked over, and Ouyang Mingyue handed him a skewer of raw meat. "Barbecue is only interesting if you grill it yourself."

The Ruthless Young Master looked around. She saw Yan Aohan grilling, while Zhu Yanyi sat nearby, eating happily. Yan Aohan glanced at the Ruthless Young Master. "You do not need to look at my wife. My wife does not need to work; I can do it. Of course, unless you find a wife to do it for you. But if you have a wife and do not cherish her, making her serve you, you are definitely not a good man."

"I did not say I wanted to find a wife," the Ruthless Young Master said, glancing at Yan Aohan. "You are thinking too much."

Yan Aohan said calmly, "Just because you do not have one now does not mean you will not have such thoughts later. Sometimes, having such thoughts is very important."

Hearing Yan Aohan say this, the Ruthless Young Master did not take it too seriously. After all, some things did not need to be weighed so heavily.

Zhu Yanyi ignored them, focusing on her barbecue. She then took out a can of beer. "Honestly, barbecue goes best with beer."

"I actually think beer is not as good as what you brew yourself," Yan Aohan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Beer helps with digestion. It is indeed something I can brew. I only have twenty cans left here. Once they are finished, I will definitely brew my own. However, besides pairing with barbecue, beer has few other effects."

Zhu Yanyi rarely drank alcohol. It was not that she could not drink, but she believed alcohol should either exist as medicine or as a seasoning. Drinking too much daily was not a good thing.

Zhu Yanyi handed a can to Yan Aohan. She opened it, took a few sips, and finished the whole can. "Beer with barbecue is indeed nice."

"You two are eating and drinking. You should at least give us one can each," Ouyang Mingyue complained. He wanted beer too.

Zhu Yanyi was generous. "One top-grade spirit stone per can."

Ouyang Mingyue was speechless. "You are obsessed with money." He threw five spirit stones at her.

Zhu Yanyi generously took out five cans of beer. "This is called being a fool if you don't make money when you can. Who else here has beer? Naturally, I must make a profit. I am already being cheap by not charging you ten spirit stones per can."

Fine. Ouyang Mingyue decided to ignore Zhu Yanyi. She picked up a beer, drank a whole can in one go, and then slowly sipped her beer while eating her barbecue.

The Ruthless Young Master thought for a moment and also threw out five spirit stones. "I want five cans too." Although he did not know what this beer was, the Ruthless Young Master now had a desire to explore. His recent enlightenment had made him realize that to truly be ruthless, he first needed to understand what true emotion was. Therefore, he planned to try integrating into this world and experiencing all its emotions.
