Chapter 2360: Eat People’s Hearts?

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ning Shu coldly scolded Hong Ji.

Hong Ji laughed softly and stretched out her tender fingers, which were long and slender. She drew a circle around Yi Liang’s heart and said, “A strong heart, in particular, can give a fox powerful strength and gorgeous looks.”

Yi Liang took a step back in horror. “No way…”

Ning Shu glared at Hong Ji, this damned witch was deliberately trying to ruin her relationship with Yi Liang.

Eat people’s hearts? Ning Shu wouldn’t do anything that hardcore.

Humans would eat monsters, and monsters would, in return, be interested in a cultivator’s body, since it’d help a little in their cultivation. It was indeed a chain of mutual predation.

However, she definitely couldn’t get powerful strength and great beauty like how Hong Ji described.

“Stop trying to sow discord between us,” Ning Shu said in a low voice. She then called out to Yi Liang, who was a little out of it. “Yi Liang!”

“Xiao Hei, do you want to eat my heart?” Yi Liang was a little scared. His expression was a little frightened, but he tried to calm himself down.

Ning Shu sighed inwardly, and firmly said, “Why would I eat your heart? Your heart’s not even that strong. Others could shake your trust in me with just some words. What kind of powerful heart is that?

“Eating people’s hearts could allow me to transform into human form? What nonsense. Power is something that’s accumulated bit by bit. What kind of power could a lump of meat give me?” Ning Shu’s voice became deeper as she went on.

“Moreover, tell me, has any human become powerful after eating a powerful monster’s flesh?” Ning Shu was speechless.

Yi Liang’s face relaxed. “You’re right, Xiao Hei. Sorry. I can’t believe I actually doubted you.”

Hong Ji covered her mouth and giggled. Ning Shu looked at her contemptuously. What was she laughing at?

When she saw Hong Ji like that, Ning Shu really wanted to claw her to the point that she was so disheveled and disfigured that not even her own mother would be able to recognize her!!!

Hong Ji glanced over sweetly. “Kiddo, people say that it’s a secret technique of the spirit fox clan. Only they have this kind of secret technique. A lump of meat has no power, yes, but what they eat is their victim’s blood essence.”

Ning Shu: …

She looked at Hong Ji with a cold expression and said, “Would you quit it already?”

“Aren’t you just following this kid because of his ethereal spirit physique? This body isn’t bad and it has no impurities. Plus it’s also full of spiritual energy,” Hong Ji said with an intoxicated expression.

“You want to eat me?” Yi Liang pointed at Hong Ji in horror.

Hong Ji shook her head. “It’s not that I want to eat you, it’s this little fox who wants to. I don’t eat human meat.”

“This little fox is following you just to get your heart and transform into a human being,” Hong Ji drawled as she lazily propped her chin.

Ning Shu just lay on the ground, silently looking at Hong Ji. Her expression clearly said ‘I’d like to see how long you’d be able to keep this up.’

“Xiao Hei…” Yi Liang called out to Ning Shu, who just snorted.

“Let’s see what else she can come up with.”

“You don’t believe me?” Hong Ji pouted. “Truthfully, I’m also a fox, but I’m a red fox.

“I just ate the heart of a scholar. He was a brilliant person with a good reputation, and he composed splendid literature. It was after I ate his heart that I was able to transform into a human being.” Hong Ji exposed her flaming red tail as she spoke.

Hong Ji touched her face. “That’s why I have such a beautiful face.”

Although this world was a cultivation world, the number of people who could cultivate was like a drop in the ocean compared to the total population. Becoming a scholar was still the main way to bring honor to one’s family.

When Yi Liang heard that Hong Ji had eaten a scholar’s heart, and saw her tail swinging around, he immediately fell off his stool with a thud.

“You, you’re a fox spirit,” Yi Liang stammered.

Hong Ji tilted her head and stared at Yi Liang. “Is it that surprising that I’m a fox spirit?”
