Chapter 366: He Might Be in Heat
After they chatted for a while, Yu Zhao curiously asked Ji Han Zhou how he had run into Lou Yu Shan.

Lou Yu Shan’s lips twitched. Under Ji Han Zhou’s threatening gaze, he held back his urge to speak and handed the right to talk over to Ji Han Zhou.

Ji Han Zhou picked up the story. He skipped the unimportant parts and described in detail how he had seen through the illusion barrier set up by Si Tu Xuan, going straight to the heart of the matter and highlighting his own sharp mind and boldness.

As soon as he started talking, Bu Yan and Long Fei Fei had already walked over.

Later, the Three Heroes of the Shao Clan also joined the group to listen.

As Ji Han Zhou went on, the faces of the three heroes grew darker and darker.

Long Fei Fei said in surprise: “So the real test was not to defeat the Clone Technique, but to learn Senior Xuan Yuan’s Unbeaten Sword Art through the Clone Technique’s growth?”

“That is right.”

Ji Han Zhou gave a small nod.

When he learned the first move of the Unbeaten Sword Art, he felt that he and the Ancient Pagoda had formed a hidden link.

Everything inside the Ancient Pagoda was clear to him.

So opening the stone house door was nothing hard.

Right there, under Lou Yu Shan’s witness, Ji Han Zhou had bowed to Senior Xuan Yuan’s Clone Technique and taken him as his master, then led Lou Yu Shan out of the stone house.

The moment the stone door opened, Lou Yu Shan cried again.

He cried so hard it was heart wrenching.

Ji Han Zhou even had to stay and comfort him for a while.

“Junior Brother Ji, congratulations!”

“Congrats!”

“Kid, your luck is really good!”

Yu Zhao, Bu Yan, Long Fei Fei and the others all gave their congratulations to Ji Han Zhou.

The Three Heroes of the Shao Clan, though extremely disappointed, still forced smiles and said a few pleasing words.

Anyone could see that Ji Han Zhou’s future was limitless. If they could get along with him, they should not offend him lightly.

“Junior Brother Ji, since you have already gained Senior Xuan Yuan’s favor, are you going to stay in the Ancient Pagoda next and keep cultivating the Sword Manual?” Yu Zhao asked.

“Yes, Senior Sister Yu.”

From beginning to end, Ji Han Zhou was very clear about what he wanted.

Before he gained the strength he needed, he would never reveal any thoughts he should not have.

Yu Zhao nodded: “This is your chance. You must make good use of it. I should go do what I need to do now.”

“Senior Sister Yu,” Ji Han Zhou said. His eyes shone with a burning light. “The next time we meet, I will let you see a different Ji Han Zhou.”

Yu Zhao smiled a little: “I will be waiting.”

Ji Han Zhou looked over at Bu Yan.

Bu Yan gently nodded at him.

Their eyes met.

They did not need words.

“Junior Brother Ji, you have not said goodbye to me yet.”

After holding it in for a long time, Lou Yu Shan finally could not help jumping out again.

Ji Han Zhou’s eye twitched: “Senior Brother Lou, I suddenly feel it is rather lonely to stay in the Ancient Pagoda by myself. Why don’t you stay and keep me company for a while before you leave?”

Lou Yu Shan clasped his fists with both hands: “Goodbye!”

He finished speaking and in a flash hid behind Yu Zhao.

He had only met Yu Zhao once, but he could already tell that only Yu Zhao could keep the proud Ji Han Zhou in check.

You could say Yu Zhao was Ji Han Zhou’s natural nemesis.

Sure enough, once Lou Yu Shan hid behind Yu Zhao, Ji Han Zhou stopped bothering with him. Instead, he personally led the way in front and escorted everyone out of the Ancient Pagoda.

When they were almost out of the plaza, they saw Patriarch Gan Lin’s corpse.

When they left before, Patriarch Gan Lin had been badly injured, lying on the ground and unable to move. They had not expected that when they came back, Patriarch Gan Lin would already be dead.

As Long Fei Fei walked past him, she even spat on the ground beside him and said: “Serves you right!”

Ji Han Zhou stood inside the Ancient Pagoda. After he watched Yu Zhao and the others leave and disappear into the distance, a voice that sounded a bit unserious suddenly rang by his ear.

“Good disciple, it is time for your beating!”

Ji Han Zhou let out a soft sigh. When he turned back again, there was no emotion at all in his eyes. His whole person was like a sharp blade just pulled from its sheath, his aura fierce and pressing.

The day he mastered the Sword Manual would be the day he came out of seclusion.

…

On the other side.

From far away, Yu Zhao already heard a familiar wolf-like howl.

She looked up and saw a Humanoid Beast running toward her like a happy child, his big white teeth shining.

“Hua Tu?”

“Yu Zhao! Yu Zhao! Yu Zhao!”

Hua Tu shouted her name with great enthusiasm, his legs turning like wheels of fire.

Seeing Hua Tu was like finding a pillow when she was sleepy. As he leaped toward her, Yu Zhao reached into her sleeve, grabbed the burning-hot Bai Ran, and shoved him straight into Hua Tu’s arms.

“Hua Tu, hurry and help me see what is wrong with him!”

“Ah?”

Hua Tu held Bai Ran in a daze, his eyes full of confusion.

“This is the little beast I took in during this time, but I do not know why he has been unconscious recently. His whole body is burning hot. Help me see if he is sick.”

“Awo, awo.”

Hua Tu finally understood what was going on. He nodded with a serious face, but inside he was panicking.

[He did not know how to treat illnesses at all.]

But in front of Yu Zhao, he was not willing to admit it, so he put on a careful act. He stretched out two fingers, pinched Bai Ran’s tail, and hung him upside down.

Then he shook the noodle-like Bai Ran a few times and leaned in to sniff with the tip of his nose. His face was full of surprise: “Strange. Why does he not have any demon smell at all?”

Even Great Demons like Bai Ling and the Nine-Tails had some trace of the Demon Race’s scent on their bodies.

But this little snake did not have a single hint of Demonic Beast aura. He was as clean as a pool of clear spring water.

“Where did he come from?”

Yu Zhao shook her head: “I do not know. One day he just suddenly appeared in my sleeve.”

Hua Tu frowned, thinking hard for a long time. Then he spoke slowly: “Hmm… he might be in heat.”

Yu Zhao’s face was full of question marks.

In heat?

Bai Ran looked like a youngling that had only just been born. How could he be in heat?

After saying it out loud, Hua Tu also felt this reason was too far fetched. But he could not think of a better answer, so he could only bite the bullet and keep talking: “His symptoms are a lot like a Demonic Beast in heat. The whole body is hot, he has no strength, and his mind is confused.”

“Is that so?”

Hearing him say that, Yu Zhao also became unsure.

“If you are still not sure, you can find a way to test it.”

Yu Zhao asked in a rush: “How do I test it?”

“Find a Demonic Beast that is in heat and watch its traits, then see if they are the same as this little snake’s condition.”

Hua Tu’s voice grew smaller and smaller until it was as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz. His eyes drifted left and right in a guilty way.

Yu Zhao did not think too much about it. She was just worried, wondering where she was supposed to catch a Demonic Beast that was in heat.

“Ahem…”

Hua Tu waited for a while. When he saw that Yu Zhao did not think of him at all, he became anxious: “Actually, I am willing to…”

“I do not think it looks like he is in heat. It looks more like he is undergoing tribulation.”

Long Fei Fei, who had been watching at the side for a long time, finally spoke her conclusion.

As the most ambitious thief in the Cultivation World, the Heir of the Lightfinger Sect had traveled to every corner of the Cultivation World. The Demon Race naturally had not escaped their hands either.

Long Fei Fei had dealt with Demonic Beasts since she was very young. You could say she was half an expert on Demonic Beasts.

This little snake’s body had not even fully developed yet. There was no way he had any desire to breed.

But Demonic Beasts that were undergoing tribulation would also show symptoms similar to being in heat.

So Long Fei Fei leaned more toward the guess that Bai Ran was undergoing tribulation.
