Chapter 42 Pleasant Long Lecture

"Ely, how did you beat the Palace Ancestor with just a simple blow? You barely even made an effort." Yuuki was so curious. Her fluffy fox tails swayed to the right and left as she was overjoyed by the result.

"Hmm, that old lady is not a real person but a spiritual entity." Ely looked back and was relieved to find no one had followed them.

"Hum, the real one probably is still in seclusion. However, that doesn't explain how you defeated the Deity's spiritual form." Yuuki nodded in understanding, but that still didn't explain anything.

She could see Ely was an Oth Rank expert. However, Ely possessed countless magical items and was blessed by many God-tier blessings to ensure personal safety.

However, no one in this big wide world could take down a Deity with a simple, gentle head tap with just Oth Rank power. Ely was the first one. Well, that was what she could expect from Ely.

"Hmm, I will tell you." Ely crossed her arms as if considering something. She believed in Yuuki because they shared the same past, but this snow fox had already triggered big trouble.

"Hum? Are you displeased with those people? As you can see, I caused a lot of trouble. Since I left with you, trouble will come to you too. Do you want to abandon me then?" Yuuki also felt guilty about it, but that was beyond her control.

She could only blame those people for giving her trouble, but she didn't know what to do if Ely didn't want her around.

"No, you are in a difficult situation too. It's not your fault. You have endured for so long... If you seek asylum, I am willing to protect you. Believe me. Even a Heavenly God cannot leave unscathed before me. You said we are family, but I couldn't help thinking about this twice." Ely waved her hand as she tried to comfort the sad Yuuki.



"And what is it?" Yuuki looked up and stared into Ely's eyes.

"You won't be mad, will you? I'll be frank."

"Okay, I promise."

"Then-"

Ely took a deep breath and then raised her finger up.

"Are you stupid? You said any fox-kin, especially the nine-tailed one, was coveted by many evildoers to become, err, furnace? That's a kind of sacrifice? And yet, you allowed yourself to be taken advantage of by those people for years for exchange and benefit?𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

I don't know what happened, but that ice palace is terrible, and the mentioned sacred land is no better either. It's easy to see that sacred land is putting pressure on that ice palace to take possession of you. They want to control you. That sacred land has a deal with ice palace over something that's clearly not good for you."

".." Yuuki was stunned for a few seconds. How nostalgic and familiar... a pleasant long lecture was spoken out of concern. She couldn't help but chuckle and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Pfft."

"This is great advice, but you laugh at it?" Ely pursed her lips in discontent.

"Mm, thank you for worrying about me. They were still useful to me before you came to me. They often sent me on some trap missions too. It's not easy for the only nine-tailed fox to survive out there if I'm gullible. Fortunately, I am strong enough to trample all those unpleasant things." Yuuki tried to reassure Ely. She wanted to say that she was aware of her overall situation.

"Hum, alright. You are big and wise; I won't discuss that anymore since you understand your situation better than anyone else. I'm sorry to scold you. I can't help it because they are outrageous. But where did the other fox-kin go? They weren't really extinct, were they?" Ely knew the nine-tailed was a legendary creature, but what about the other fox-kin?

"Some can still be found in various remote regions in limited numbers, but they come from inferior blood. The others, they are under the protection of their own nation in a sealed secret realm. They will never set out of their realm for safety reasons."

"There's only one nine-tailed fox?"

"That's two because of you."

"O-oh~"

Ely nodded in understanding.

"H-Hey! Your mouth is so adept at taking over the topic of conversation. I asked you, but in the end, I answered all your questions." Yuuki pinched Ely's cheek in frustration. She just realized that she was being played by Ely's words.

"Oww, owwie... I'll teww wou, I tell you." Ely held her cheek and Yuuki's hand. It was hurt.

Ely then shared a bit about her secret abilities. Her move was super effective against spiritual creatures, especially the evil. For anything that harboured evilness and malice, they would receive significant damage from her holy artefact's blow, regardless of all kinds of defence.

More evil was equal to more damage dealt.

"I see.." Yuuki finally understood, but she shivered a moment later. No wonder Ely said it was fortunate she didn't harbour malice, or Ely would injure or kill her at their first meeting. It wasn't a joke but a definite threat.

"Yuuki... Do you know where the others are? I mean, our other family and friends. I need their help." Ely intertwined her fingers while looking up at the distant sky.



"Am I not enough?" Yuuki glanced at Ely's face, but Ely only looked at her with an innocent gaze and pure desire. She ended up sighing as the others' situations were complicated. "They... I know only three of our people are in this Tearobis Great Continent. The others have gone to the other side of the world to look for you three years ago. I don't know about their news since then."

"I see... Then, I can't let them keep looking for me. I will find everyone soon." Ely nodded slightly. She then spoke in a subtle whisper-like voice. "Do you know our Goddess Master is still waiting for us?"

"!?" Yuuki's face brightened. That was the most important thing she wanted to know, and Ely finally believed her to share this kind of important information. "What did our Goddess Master say? How about her condition."

"She is injured, sealed, shackled by a heavenly curse. She is waiting for our help. I am on a mission to help our Goddess Master. Yuuki, are you willing to help me?" Ely asked for help straight away. She knew having someone who understood her real purpose was something she really needed right now.

"I, I'm more than willing! Allow me to help you!" Yuuki expressed her agreement with great enthusiasm.

So, Ely already trusted her to that extent despite the memory loss. She would never betray that trust because she had to save their Goddess Master immediately.

"Then, welcome to the Guardian of Dream. I shall appoint you as the position of elder. But all vital information about us and our past is a secret, okay? My disciples' situations are a bit special..." Ely held out her hand.

"Uh-um, okay..." Yuuki was dumbfounded when she heard that familiar name. She didn't expect that Ely would revive that organization here.



Regardless, she would play along with all of Ely's arrangements for now.

Yuuki then shook Ely's hand to seal the deal.

"Ah, this is bad!" Ely checked her clock cube and exclaimed with dismay.

"What's the situation?" Yuuki checked her surroundings. She found no living creature or danger within a six-kilometer radius.

"I have to return to the rest cave as soon as possible. I must regroup with my disciple before dusk, but it's already almost half a day since I split up with her." Ely was worried.

"Then hold me tight. Tell me where the mentioned rest cave is. We will be there in no time." Yuuki took Ely's hands and put them around her waist.

Ely then described a place, and Yuuki immediately brought Ely out of the Frozen Cloud Secret Realm.
