Chapter 26: Unusual Circumstances

Shadowless City was soon in sight. It was Cancan’s first time visiting the city. As they stood there, she looked at the city in the drizzling rain, feeling sad. She said, "No wonder there’s no one here. It’s so messy, no one would want to live here. It’s not a place for fools."

But Hua Qing frowned slightly, his expression serious. Hua Yun looked at Hua Qing and said, "Brother."

Hua Qing threw the Guide Bell out, and the bell floated in the air, but it didn’t ring.

Cancan, being a clever fox, knew what it meant when the Guide Bell didn’t ring. Thinking about this, she raised her hand and said, "There’s no Snowflake Glass here."

Indeed, there wasn’t. If there was, the bell would have rung. Hua Qing frowned slightly, but then turned and asked, "Who’s there?"

Yu Xiu emerged from the bushes, already wet from the rain. She had chased after Hua Qing and the others, finding it hard. She said, "It’s me!"

Hua Qing was expressionless. "Why did you follow us?"

Hua Qing was very cold, but Yu Xiu wasn’t bothered by it. When she went to apprentice with him years ago, he had been the same. She had remembered that. Now, meeting again, his appearance quickly left an impression on her. She bit her lip and said, "I’m worried about you. There are really monsters here."

Hua Yun was quite impressed by Yu Xiu. He smiled, "If there are monsters, do you think we would be scared?"

Yu Xiu was serious, "It’s not about whether you’re afraid or not, since I know, I can’t help but help." Even though Hua Yun asked the question, Yu Xiu looked at Hua Qing.

Hua Qing replied calmly, "If you stay, you will only cause us trouble. With your abilities, you are not enough to help us." As he spoke, Hua Qing looked around, his expression becoming even more stern.

Yu Xiu bit her lip, although she knew Hua Qing was speaking the truth, she felt a bit embarrassed. She then looked at Cancan and thought, if even a little fox can follow along, why can’t she?

But if she were to tell Hua Qing these things, she thought he wouldn’t care. Indeed, Hua Qing quickly pulled Cancan over, swiftly rode away on a sword. Hua Yun shook his head at Yu Xiu and said, "You go, what senior brother said is right, staying here will only cause trouble."

Hua Yun followed suit and left. Although Big Green was a fairy, unlike Cancan, she had some magic and quickly followed with a "whoosh."

For a moment, only Yu Xiu was left. Yu Xiu stomped her foot, wanting to catch up. A junior brother behind her said, "Elder martial sister, maybe we shouldn’t follow? It might cause trouble." He was straightforward.

Yu Xiu thought for a moment and then turned around, "Let’s go!"

From afar, Hua Qing felt Yu Xiu leaving. He touched Cancan’s white fur, and Cancan nudged him, asking, "Why didn’t you take Yu Xiu as your apprentice back then?" Curious!

Hua Qing replied coldly, "Ask again and I’ll throw you down."

Cancan sneakily looked at the ground, shrank a bit, and said, "Is it not nice to treat animals this way?"

"Hehe!" Hua Qing sneered.

Cancan’s little face drooped instantly, but when she looked at him again, she thought that being handsome was very attractive. Even though he was sneering coldly, it made her heart flutter! Oh no!

Cancan quickly cheered up and asked, "Why do we need to fly around like this? Haven’t we reached Shadowless City?"

This time, Hua Qing answered straightforwardly, "I want to check the overall situation. Shadowless City never rains, and with such strange weather, it might be that someone has been here."

Upon hearing this, Cancan immediately raised her paw to show that she understood, "Yu Xiu just mentioned that there are fairies here. Could it be that the fairies are playing tricks?" Oh, she is a fairy herself, saying this feels a bit strange.

Hua Qing pursed his lips and said nothing. Before Cancan could wait for praise, she nudged Hua Qing. Hua Qing, feeling helpless, said, "Do you think Yu Xiu would have the ability to deal with the fairies?"

Cancan scratched her head and somewhat understood. She asked, "Who could it be then?"

Hua Qing ignored her again, making Cancan think that Hua Qing’s silence was really unbearable. Oh dear!

Soon, Hua Qing fell again, and Cancan quickly transformed into a human form and shook herself.

Hua Yun stared at Cancan and asked, "Did you inform the Demon Realm?"

Oh no! Cancan got angry. She had never seen someone like this. Before anything happened, he wanted to blame her. Cancan decided to blacklist this Hua Yun, even though he was Hua Qing’s junior brother.

She snarled, "You’re so silly!"

Hua Yun sneered, "I hit the truth. Are you upset because of it? Even though this fairy isn’t Xian Yue, she resembles her. Maybe she’s a trick by the Demon Lord to deceive us. By keeping her close, she can pass information to the Demon Lord everywhere. Otherwise, why would Shadowless City be so silent?"

Although Hua Yun was also a fairy, Cancan felt that this person was different from Hua Qing. He didn’t have a bit of fairy energy. He exuded a repulsive aura.

She angrily said, "You’re a dumb fairy worse than a dog. I’m not a spy. You accuse others of being spies. Do you have evidence? If not, you’re just blabbering, you’re a fool."

Hua Qing lightly patted Cancan, she turned around and Hua Qing looked helpless, "Behave yourself."

Actually, Hua Yun was also devastated inside. The little fox with Xian Yue’s innocent face was speaking rudely. He couldn’t connect the two. But a monster was a monster. There was no distinction between good and bad monsters. Her following them was clearly wrong.

He angrily said, "Senior brother, look at her…"

Before he finished speaking, Cancan interrupted him, mocking and laughing disdainfully, "Oh my, it’s not fair to argue with me and then still want to involve adults. So ridiculous! Even immortals are so weak sometimes! Tsk tsk!"

Hua Qing felt a bit helpless with them, and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Hua Yun, you don’t always have to target Cancan. Cancan is still young and naive, she doesn’t have any evil intentions."

Big Green added from the side, "Yeah, yeah, Cancan is good, I am good too. Although I have more experience, I am also a good fairy. Besides, why look down on fairies like that? We fairies also have good ones! There’s the White Snake repaying kindness, and the Snail Maiden, they are all fairies! Really! You immortals are all good, then how did Xian Yue turn into a witch? Can’t generalize things like this. You guys don’t understand these basic principles, really backward individuals in the Immortal Realm."

Hearing this, Cancan nodded constantly, but then she remembered something else, no wonder Senior Hua Qing was so famous in the Immortal Realm, she originally thought Senior Hua Qing was a latecomer, but now she sees, he’s not. What’s going on?

Cancan scratched her head, this is like finding a tall person among short ones! Yeah, that’s what it means.

Hua Yun was so frustrated by the two little fairies, but still said, "Senior brother, she is following us to get into trouble, we can’t always have her with us. Anyway, I don’t trust her. Otherwise, explain to me, how did Mo Yuan beat us to it?"

Cancan exclaimed, "Did Mo Yuan come here?"

Hua Yun sneered, "Such exaggerated acting."

Cancan gave him a dirty look without being polite. Some people, you just can’t talk nicely with them. Cancan looked at Hua Qing and thought Hua Qing was the best. She held her face and asked, "So, what should we do next?" Suddenly, she got excited. "Shouldn’t we rush into the Demon Realm, defeat the Demon Realm, then destroy Demon Lord Mo Yuan, and get back the Snowflake Glass?"

Hua Qing’s mouth twitched a little, and he said slowly, "You’re thinking too much."

Cancan said, "Huh? I don’t quite get it. Are you saying you can’t beat Mo Yuan and them?"

"Heavenly principles are about balance. It’s not…" Hua Qing stopped what he was going to say next. He felt silly talking about heavenly principles with a little fox. She wouldn’t understand it at all!

Thinking about this, Hua Qing said, "Let’s stay here for now. I feel a strange vibe here, something feels off. I need to investigate further."

Hua Yun naturally followed Hua Qing’s lead and nodded, "Now that you mention it, I feel something strange here too. Even though we know Shadowless City has some unusual things happening, it just doesn’t feel right."

Cancan on the side remarked, "It’s raining here, but we don’t have an umbrella."

Hua Qing calculated with his fingers and said, "There’s a cave to the left, let’s go there now."

Feeling all wet isn’t great, but Cancan happily followed Hua Qing to the cave. Cancan sneezed, and Hua Qing, seeing that, took off his cloak and offered it to her. Cancan shook her head and refused, saying, "You’re cold too, keep it for yourself. I’ll warm up in a bit. This lousy weather."

Hua Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Do you remember the book I gave you?"

Cancan nodded, like performing a magic trick, she took it out. She transformed back to her original form countless times a day, making Hua Qing wonder where she kept her things. It was truly strange.

Cancan said, "Here it is, you can use it, I’ll give it to you."

Hua Qing shook his head and flipped to a page, "Practice this, it will keep you warm."

Cancan’s face immediately drooped. She thought she was a smart little fox, but learning magic made her realize that sometimes even a perfect little fox like her can’t please the heavens.

"Go over there and practice now." Hua Qing was firm. Cancan was stunned and pointed, "No. Don’t we need to find clues that are not right here?"

Hua Qing said seriously, "You’re not needed, go!"

Hua Yun couldn’t bear to see his senior treating a small fox so well, and coldly said, "Senior, don’t bother with her. I think she’s too stupid to learn anyway."

Cancan became angry again. How could they look down on a fox like that?
