Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

It was unknown how long it had passed before Cheng Ji slowly woke up. Looking at the surroundings, he realized that they should have left the Zhang family's ancestral home and were resting in a nearby hotel.

Just as Cheng Ji was about to sit up, someone helped him sit up.

"Be careful." Zhang Qiling's voice rang out, instantly calming the boy's panic.

"Brother..." the young man shouted with a hoarse voice and a lack of confidence.

Zhang Qiling said with a cold face and a heavy tone: "Cheng Ji, have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions?"

When the young man heard the god calling his name in a serious tone, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly explained: "I didn't know it would be so dangerous down there..."

Zhang Qiling saw that the boy in front of him still didn't realize his problem. He grabbed the boy's wrist and turned it over, revealing a scar deep enough to see the bone. He then said, "Why did you have to use the forbidden technique at that time? You obviously had other ways."

Cheng Ji listened to Zhang Qiling's scolding in a daze, lowered his head and whispered: "This is the safest way. Unless your bloodline is improved to more than three-quarters, even the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles may not be able to save you at that time."

Zhang Qiling was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "It's been ten years. I thought you knew how to love yourself."

Cheng Ji finally raised his head, his red eyes revealing a stubborn determination: "Brother, let me ask you, if it were you, would you choose to save yourself or save me first?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer again, he already had the answer in his mind.

If it were him, he would probably make the same choice.

The young man did not wait for the god to speak, his tone softened, and he continued: "Brother, I will protect myself as much as possible, please don't be angry anymore, okay."

Zhang Qiling sighed, hugged the young man and coaxed him, "Don't be angry."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and then he said, "That tribe member of yours is next door, do you want to meet him?"

Cheng Ji nodded, and Zhang Qiling carefully helped the young man to lean against the head of the bed, then he got up and went out to call for help.

Cheng Ji's thoughts were a little confused, and it was time to ask about what had happened.

Although he dug countless graves of his own people in the past five years, all of them were found within the twenty years after he fell asleep.

Afterwards, the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Clan seemed to have disappeared. Even the sacred mountain he had been to was long gone, and he could not find any useful clues.

Now that I finally get to see my old friends and have the chance to learn about the past of my clan, I naturally cannot miss this opportunity.

While he was thinking, the fox-eared boy walked in. His appearance was a little strange. He wore a hat that was big enough to cover his ears, and in summer he wrapped himself tightly to cover his nine tails that could not be retracted.

Cheng Ji's eyes twitched violently when he saw it, and he turned his head away, as if not looking could save his eyes that had just been badly damaged.

The fox-eared boy smiled and took off all the clothes he was wearing.

"Aji, are you feeling better?" He glanced at the tightly closed door and complained in a low voice, "This beautiful little Qilin is yours, right? Wow, you didn't know, he has two faces!"

Cheng Ji raised his eyebrows. He couldn't imagine how the god, whose face might remain calm until the end of the world, could have a second face. Thinking of this, he turned his head and put his ear closer, and asked with interest, "What do you mean?"

The fox-eared boy complained, "This little unicorn saw you faint yesterday, and his face turned black and gloomy, so I dared not say a word, but he was so gentle to you. He never let go of you after we came out of the Zhang family's old house. I was afraid that his wound had not healed yet, so I suggested to take his place for a while. When he heard that I wanted to touch you, his face was like a living devil, as if he wanted to chop you off."

"Pfft." After listening to the description of the fox-eared boy, Cheng Ji unconsciously imagined the scene at that time in his mind and couldn't help laughing out loud.

But after laughing enough, he naturally did not forget the business. He stretched out his hand and pulled the ears of the fox-eared boy, and asked in confusion: "Cheng Xiaoan, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng An is the name of the fox-eared boy. Cheng Ji used to like to call him Cheng Xiaoan.

Cheng An, who hadn't heard this name for a long time, was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "After you fell asleep, many families that once dared not challenge the Cheng family became more unscrupulous. Among them were many families that the original patriarch of the Cheng family had helped. But greed knows no bounds. After some of them gained immortality, they were still not satisfied and wanted to use the forbidden techniques and blood characteristics of the Cheng family to achieve immortality."

"This group of people have been conspiring together for 20 years, but the Cheng family, without you, is powerless in the face of these menacing criminals."

"In the end, they were forced to abandon the sacred mountain and hide away, never to re-enter the secular world again. The Zhang family actually did not participate, but a few members of the Zhang family were dissatisfied with it and secretly joined in. It was at that time that I was caught by that member of the Zhang family."

Cheng An recalled the past with a hint of fear in his tone.

"I don't know where he got the semi-finished talisman you made from, and made that talisman array. As long as you stay in the talisman array for 49 days, your bloodline will be completely activated. He absorbed the power of my activated bloodline, and was able to improve his bloodline without the help of secret methods. Although the process was long, it allowed him to survive for more than a thousand years."

Cheng Ji didn't know what mood he was in after listening to this description. He was stunned for a long time and then said, "So the elders of the clan, and my father..."

"The elders and clan leaders all died while covering the evacuation of the younger generations in the clan..." Cheng An reluctantly told Cheng Ji the news.

When Cheng Ji heard this, his eyes went dark and a tear welled up from his eye socket, ran down his cheek and fell quietly.
