chapter 2

The little white fox’s noble and cool demeanor instantly collapsed, flicking her tail and snorting, [Forget it! Seeing as you can help me break the Heavenly Restraints, I’ll leave you alone.]

Speaking of this, she was happy again and scampered in place, then asked, [Do you think my ancestors liked me so much that she was so kind to me? I can’t believe she asked you to help me ascend to immortality! I must work hard and never fail to live up to the expectations of my ancestors! By the way, how are you going to break the Heavenly Restraints? Will I go wherever I want in the future? I’ve heard that the human world is full of delicious food. I’m going to find a scholar to take me to eat all over the country. A scholar is most likely to have a soft heart!]

001 ruthlessly interrupted her daydream, [10,000 years have passed, and the human world is long past the way it was recorded in your legends. Nowadays, not only you, but also all demons and devils are bound by the Heavenly Dao, not to walk in the human realm, and if you break the rules, the consequences are unimaginable.]

Little white fox suddenly became unhappy, patting the floor and asking, [Are you kidding me? Although I have only one tail, the consequences of making me angry is very serious! Go out and ask around, no one in Qingqiu Mountain dares to mess with me!]

[Perhaps you can think of this chance as an ‘infinite illusion’. You know that illusions can make one go crazy, and can also help speed up one’s cultivation. It’s unrealistic for you to go to the human world unnoticed by Heaven, but you might as well feel the seven emotions and six desires in the human world created by the illusion. Don’t worry, I have specially found out the most popular gathering place in the world—Jinj*ang Literature City, and replicated its entire library, enough to spawn thousands of illusions that are far more exciting than real life in the human realm.]

(TNote: The Seven Emotions=1. Joy 2. Anger 3. Grief 4. Worry 5. Fear 6. Sentiments 7. Affection; The Six Desires= 1. Lust 2. Vanity 3. Dignity 4. Pleasant Sounds 5. Good Life/ Death 6. Sensual Pleasures)

The little white fox perched on his front paws and snorted, [You’re messing with me again, aren’t you? You can become immortal just by going to a fantasy world? Cultivation is hard, and this is clearly going to be enjoyable.]

[The only way to accelerate your cultivation under Heavenly Restraints is to accumulate faith and sincerity. The library has numerous readers, and based on their comments section, it’s clear what they have regrets about each of the books, and thus have a wish. If you turn things around and make up for their regrets, the prayers will be turned into wishes and absorbed by you, whether they know it or not. When the wishing power is accumulated to a certain extent, there is still a chance to transform it into the power of faith, and if you can get believers, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation. So even though it’s an illusion, you only have to treat it as a real world. In human terms, every world you visit is a crossing, and you must be sincere in order to get what you want in return.]

(TNote: Explanation: Su Yuanyuan needs to obtain [愿] yuàn = to hope/to desire/ wish/willingness/ sincerity; from other people.)

001 explained the method of cultivation, and solemnly said, [The system will urge you to get the wish energy by issuing quests so that you don’t get off track and lose more than you gain. This trip is long and hard, which is much harder than your previous cultivation. The reason why this is the most suitable opportunity for you is that you have a firm mind and a strong temperament. Remember, do not forget your initiative, don’t get lost in the bustling world.]

The little white fox tilts her head, so her future ‘Dao’ is to fulfill the reader’s wish? When she thought of the books she had seen in the clan’s library, some of them were really unpleasant to read. Now the little white fox gets it, to make up for the regret, she likes it!

[Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t get lost even if you do.] The little white fox raised her little paw and pointed to the countless ‘mirrors’ on the wall, with inexplicable expectation in her tone. [Those are the illusory worlds, right? Which one do I choose? Should I pick an easy one the first time? I’m so nervous about going to the human world…]

[Sorry, the system detects that you are only excited now, not nervous. It seems that you can’t wait, so the countdown will start—3, 2, 1. The crossing was successful!]

“Wait! I haven’t chosen—”

The little white fox didn’t even finish her sentence before she saw the light and changed places.

She didn’t even need to open her eyes to know that it was already in another world, because the air around it was half devoid of aura. Instead, it was a mixture of bad smell and foul odor, which was terrible, causing her to sneeze several times!

She covered her nose with her little paws, her whole face scrunched together in distress, [What is this place? It stinks!!!]

[This is the most common corner of the world— the garbage dump.]

Garbage… garbage dump??!

The little white fox blew up instantly. [Why did you throw me in the garbage?! Isn’t it to make up for the reader’s regret? Does regret have something to do with garbage dumps?!!]

[The hero and heroine of this story hurt an innocent person in the process of falling in love. Readers are complaining on behalf of this innocent person, hoping that he can be happy and counter-abuse the hero and heroine, and you are now one of the stray dogs in his care, so naturally you should be here.]

???

The little white fox glanced around and saw a few dirty and skinny stray dogs scattered around the garbage dump, and some of them were still digging for food in the garbage, which shocked the little white fox who was good at hunting since childhood.

Then she immediately reacted and panicked: [Wait, what did you say? Have I become a dog? No, I’m still the same!]

[Is it strange that you are mistaken for a puppy?]

The little white fox was suddenly speechless, and was about to reject this, when she suddenly heard the system say, [By the way, there are cameras in many parts of the world that can silently record your image, so please use spells with caution to avoid being caught in a lab for dissection and study.]

Before the little white fox could react from 001’s quick series of thoughts, she heard humans talking. It seemed that four or five people were coming this way.

“Brother Chen, Zhuo Feng, that brat doesn’t know what’s good for him. He dares to covet Sister-in-law. We must teach him a lesson today!”

“Yes, Brother Chen, we have asked around. That boy comes here to feed stray dogs every day after school. Sister-in-law said he was kind when she saw him feed the dogs, and looked at him in a different light. Why don’t we stew these dogs and serve them to him?”

The little white fox could tell when something was wrong. She quickly got up and got into the cardboard box next to her. She hasn’t figured out what’s going on yet, and she might get caught and dissected?!Somehow the human world feels so scary!

As soon as she hid, she saw five teenagers appear in the alleyway. The one at the head seems to be the one they call ‘Brother Chen’. He looked at a few stray dogs wagging their tails for food and said disgustedly, “Isn’t that too much trouble? Since Zhuo Feng cares about them, they should be tortured to death one by one in front of Zhuo Feng. Let Zhuo Feng see, he’s just a mouse living at the bottom of the heap, he can’t even protect the stray dogs he cares about, so what right does he have to steal a woman from me?”

A few teenagers in the back immediately praised ‘Brother Chen’s’ idea, and even found a worn-out stool, wiped it with their sleeves and invited ‘Brother Chen’ to sit on it, with an unsightly flattering face.

“Brother Chen, Zhuo Feng will be here soon. Don’t worry, the brothers will keep abusing that brat to the point where he would cry for his mother!”

The little white fox frowned and looked at the stray dogs who were ignorant and begged for food outside. She was very angry. What does the fight between humans have to do with these dogs? Actually, just because Zhuo Feng likes them, these bad guys would abuse them to retaliate against Zhuo Feng, which was too shameless. How can there be such a bad person?!

[System Posting Task: Save 5 stray dogs who would be cruelly abused to avoid Zhuo Feng’s excessive self-blame, sadness and pain. Reward: upon completion of the mission, you will receive a full body cleansing spell; Penalty: upon failure of the mission, your entire body will stink for three days.]

Careful use of spells shouldn’t be detected, but it’s necessary to save the 5 dogs. Rewarding only 1 cleaning spell for such a difficult task is too cheap! But the little white fox looked at her black paws, and was looking forward to the reward. Her spells are low, she can’t use cleansing, and getting herself cleaned up is really the most urgent thing right now, not just that! What’s more, failure will cause her to stink for 3 days, it’s terrible to think about it. The first task of the new world must be completed!

But how would she accomplish her task? She can’t talk because of her low mana, so she can only communicate with foxes, but can’t communicate with these dogs at all. Although there was no camera that takes recordings in this alley, there are quite a few people. If she’s too smart, would she still look like a normal stray dog? She doesn’t want to be caught and dissected! The little white fox was lying in a pile of cardboard boxes, worrying about the solution.

At that moment, Zhuo Feng, who was frequently mentioned by the several people, came along with his schoolbag and dog food. He saw the several people and suddenly frowned. “Why are you here? Zhuo Yichen, I’ve already explained that I have no relationship with Fu Xueqing, and I didn’t even know her name before yesterday.”

Zhuo Feng wanted to dispel the misunderstanding, but Zhuo Yichen heard this and got very angry in his heart. He walked up to him and pushed him. “Do you think I would believe this? What do you mean by saying that? Showing off how Xueqing, a big miss chasing you? You don’t even know how little your worth!

“That’s right, Zhuo Feng are you bullshitting? If you hadn’t seduced her, she wouldn’t have confessed to you. Who doesn’t know that Sister-in-law and Brother Chen are childhood sweethearts? They’ve been an established couple for a long time, and you dare to belittle Sister-in-law by interfering? I think you’re tired of living!”

A yellow-haired boy, eager to impress Zhuo Yichen, immediately rushed up and grabbed Zhuo Feng’s collar to beat him. Zhuo Feng was also moved to anger and kicked the yellow hair’s leg, shoving him aside while he was in pain, looking at Zhuo Yichen coldly, “I’m telling the truth. Ask Fu Xueqing if you don’t believe me. I don’t know why she confessed to me. Your issues have nothing to do with me.”

“Shut up! You keep saying that you don’t know Xueqing, and you don’t know why Xueqing confessed, which is simply an insult to Xueqing! Today, I will let you know your place, and make you remember that you shouldn’t covet someone you shouldn’t even think about. Do it!”

Several people followed the plan they had just made, and at Zhuo Yichen’s order, they turned towards the stray dogs. The little white fox jumped up when she saw it, overturned the carton with wind spell, and pasted the carton on several people’s faces as they went! She landed in front of the stray dogs and lowered herself to let out a low growl, protecting the dogs behind her with her actions.

At the same time, Zhuo Feng also rushed over and stood in front of the little white fox and shouted angrily, “What are you doing?! Taking on a couple of puppies? Come at me if you have something to say, what’s the point of bullying a puppy?!”

A few people were stopped by the cardboard boxes, and the smell of mold made them dry heave and burst into a fury, viciously saying, “You and your dog won’t get away with any of this, and you, little beast, I’ll kill you today!”
