Chihaya sat in her seat and quietly ate her dinner. It wasn't that he didn't suspect that they would tamper with the food, but considering his situation, there was no difference whether he ate it or not. Moreover, since the other party had painstakingly brought her back, even if they wanted to make a move, they would not choose such an obvious place.
The meal was finished in silence. Cha took the initiative to take the cutlery to the kitchen to wash, while Shi returned to his research room to accompany his potions. Chihaya sat there idly, waiting for Cha to finish his work and tell her about the other things. She wanted to get some details about the coming-of-age ceremony while she was still safe.
Cha used a spell technique to clean up the cutlery. When he came out of the kitchen, he saw Chihaya still sitting in her seat. He was a little surprised. Then, he finally remembered what he had said to her during the day. In fact, she had only said it casually at that time and had not really planned to say anything at night.
They didn't really bring her back to help her with her coming-of-age ceremony. This was just a good excuse. However, since Shi was not around, Cha could not ignore Chihaya. He could only rack his brains to think of some words to brush her off. Unwilling to sit down beside Chihaya, Cha concealed his emotions and told Chihaya about the coming-of-age ceremony.
The coming of age ceremony of the fox clan was neither simple nor complicated. After the cubs grew to a certain age, the clan would prepare a coming-of-age ceremony for the little fox. Before that, the brothers and sisters in the clan would collect all kinds of materials needed for the cub's coming-of-age ceremony. This was the blessing of the clan to the cub.
When everything was ready, the clan leader would personally host the ceremony. In the depths of the fox clan's residence, there was a crystal clear lake. The coming-of-age ceremony was held by the lake, and the cubs had to transform into their original forms and soak in the lake water to be baptized by the divine lake. The materials he collected were refined into a golden liquid. He took a drop and put it on the cub's forehead. Its effect was to stimulate the hidden energy in the fox race's body, thereby stimulating the growth of the body. The only drawback was that the medicinal effect was a little strong. The role of the lake water was to ease and guide this power.
After a day and a night of baptism, he no longer looked like a child when he transformed again. He looked like a grown man. From then on, he would no longer be afraid of the sun. The defects of his body would no longer exist after the baptism. After officially becoming adults, the cubs could leave the clan and go to the outside world to train.
"You know that this world doesn't have the so-called fox race. We all come from the original world.”Cha slowly revealed where the two of them came from. Chihaya was the same as them anyway, so there was nothing to hide."So it's a little difficult to collect all the things needed for the coming-of-age ceremony. Especially since there is no divine lake where the fox clan lives, we can only try our best to concoct potions with similar effects. So your coming-of-age ceremony will still have to wait for a while. "Before that, we will help you adjust your physique. After all, you did not receive the ritual in time, so there will be some hidden dangers.”
Chihaya's health problems were real, but finding ingredients and concocting potions for her was fake. Cha and Shi's goal was to use Chihaya to obtain the inheritance that they had been searching for. As long as they obtained the inheritance, it did not matter if Chihaya was dead or alive. Before he achieved his goal, he would at most let her live. How could he have the leisure to help her hold her coming-of-age ceremony?
Not to mention that there were so many different places in this world. Who knew if those materials existed? Even if it existed, would she and Shi spend a lot of time looking for it just for a clansman who had nothing to do with them? They were not kind-hearted foxes. Those useless things had already been discarded when they were cultivated as tools.
Tu and Shi originally had a short, pure and kind childhood. The fox clan grew up far away from the secular environment, resulting in their ignorant nature. However, it was unknown when, but the first generation clan leader set a rule that the cubs had to enter the world to train after the adult ceremony. This new rule allowed the fox clan to develop better, but it also brought about a huge hidden danger.
Only a small portion of the first batch of clansmen who went out to train returned. The rest were either unable to return for various reasons or were reluctant to return. The foxes that returned had more or less changed. After experiencing the secular world, the ignorance in their eyes was replaced by vicissitudes. No one knew what they had experienced, and they were unwilling to talk about it. However, they never left the clans-ground again.
Tu and Shi were somewhat different from their clansmen. They were also very unfortunate. Not long after they entered the world, they were targeted by an organization. The cause was that they had seen some inhuman characteristics, and it was not caused by their carelessness. After being captured and subjected to all kinds of inhumane treatment, the two of them knew the most fundamental reason why they were targeted. It was actually caused by the first few batches of clansmen who entered the world.
Members of the fox clan were pure by nature. As the number of people entering the human world increased, there would naturally be a few people who would be discovered to have unusual identities when they were not paying attention. After years of accumulation, even if humans could not find the location of the fox clan, they had a set of methods to identify them. Therefore, Cha and Shi were tricked by the hidden dangers left behind by their predecessors.
Thus, when they realized that the main culprit of their suffering was their own compatriots, Tu and Shi turned dark. Not only did they hate the selfish and cruel humans, but they also hated their own people. If it wasn't for their clansmen's carelessness, they wouldn't have suffered such torture. In the end, they had to rely on their own talent and hard work to survive.
Due to this reason, Cha and Shi would never consider Chihaya's interests. After his innocent and pure personality was completely obliterated, what was left was only jealousy and hatred. Especially when Chihaya was being taken care of by a human, how could Cha not be jealous of the stark contrast? As for Divination, his personality had long been twisted. One could tell from the vicious potions he made.
After Cha told Chihaya everything he could, it was already very late. The most important thing was to see the effects of the medicine. Hence, Cha sent Chihaya back to sleep.""Don't worry, it won't be long before the coming-of-age ceremony. The most important thing now was to go back to the room and rest. Staying up late was not good for the body.”The words of concern came casually, Cha's disguise was already as pure as fire.
Chihaya didn't suspect anything and went upstairs. Chihaya walked into the room without turning on the lights. In the pitch-black room, Chihaya's purple eyes lit up with a hint of blood. Chihaya listened to everything Cha said with a skeptical attitude. She could believe that the details of the coming-of-age ceremony had not been faked. After all, he would not really help her hold this ceremony.
What was worth suspecting was the so-called search for materials. She knew very well what the difference in the world she was in meant. It was normal that things from the original world were not here. Even if there really were, it would be a big project to find them. It would take time, effort, and money. It would not be of any benefit to Cha and Shi.
After thinking about it, they had no reason to help her. Furthermore, Chihaya was certain that she had something they wanted, and it was something that they could not easily obtain. That was why they went through so much trouble to bring her back instead of robbing or stealing her. Then, what could it be that they valued so much but could not take it away directly?
An idea flashed in his mind. It was that inheritance! Only the inheritance had the value to attract them. When Chihaya received the inheritance, she knew that not everyone in the clan could obtain it. Only the fated ones could obtain it. Among them, there were two other ways to obtain the inheritance. First, it is the son who is destined to send him away voluntarily; The second method was to forcefully take it away from him.
Chihaya was a human in her previous life, so she could not be the fated child of the fox clan. When she thought about how she had this inheritance because someone had given it to her without her knowledge, she thought of the little fox she had saved back then. Other than that, she could not think of any other possibility. However, Chihaya did not expect the other party to pass on such an important item. Out of gratitude, Chihaya did not make much use of this inheritance.
However, he did not expect that his evasion would still attract the covetous clan members. Perhaps, the spells she had used on Zero had exposed its location. Actually, he didn't have any regrets. For the sake of his loved ones, how could he have any regrets? The only pity was that he had let down the little fox's good intentions.
Back then, it was riddled with injuries and almost lost its life. It must have been because of this inheritance that its clansmen coveted. And because of his trust in her, he had given her the inheritance that he had been protecting with all his might. Now that she was bound by evil people, she did not know if they had the ability to take away this inheritance. Of course, she would protect it with her life, but she was afraid that everything would be in vain.
Chihaya lay on the bed with worry. For the first time, she felt lost and hopeless about the future. She should not be able to sleep, but for some reason, her eyelids felt heavy and she could not help but close her eyes. His consciousness was still clear, but his body seemed to have not slept for a few days and nights, sinking into deep fatigue.
Chihaya realized that something was wrong with her. After a few futile attempts to resist, his eyes finally closed tightly. His body was also as heavy as iron, unable to move at all. Even the ability in his body could not be mobilized at all. It was completely suppressed by an unknown force. Chihaya's consciousness was completely separated from her body, leaving her powerless.
Chihaya didn't notice that the potted plant in the corner had begun to emit a faint fluorescent light in the night. An extremely faint smell wafted through the room, gradually becoming more obvious. Chihaya, who had lost her mobility, finally smelled the fragrance and knew that she had been drugged.
Shirangcha had placed the potion in Chihaya's room. The wonderful thing about it was that it was colorless and odorless at first, making it the most suitable to pour on plants. The most ingenious part was that once Chihaya stayed in the room for a while, the potion that sensed the presence of life would disperse into the air and quietly seep into the living body. In the end, the person who absorbed the drug would be like a vegetable. Even if their consciousness was still awake, their body would not be able to move.
