Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

The little fox happily finished the whole roasted chicken, and didn't forget to lick its lips and praise Xie Linyuan, saying, "Xie Linyuan, I knew your roasted chicken was the best!"

Xie Linyuan pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable with the little fox's straightforward praise, and said, "If you like it, I'll make it for you when we get back."

The little fox immediately wagged its tail and nodded repeatedly.

"It's just a roasted chicken." Yu Chaojun snorted coldly, his tone somewhat stiff.

Yu Zhen knew perfectly well that her father was upset, so she immediately changed the subject: "Father, how much longer until we can leave?"

Yu Chaojun's attention was indeed diverted. He turned to look at the flying boat that was getting closer and closer to the top of the tower and narrowed his eyes: "If we take the spirit pearl from the top of the tower, we can get out and the secret realm can also be taken into our possession."

Upon hearing this, Xie Linyuan followed Yu Chaojun's gaze and looked over.

At the top of the tower, a dazzling spiritual pearl was radiating primordial treasure energy; that was the very center of the secret realm.

Previously, entering the secret realm required the flesh and blood of the Black Fox clan, but as long as the spirit pearl that serves as the core of the array is taken away, the rules of this place can be changed.

But taking the Spirit Pearl, though seemingly simple, is actually extremely dangerous.

Senior Yu's strength... seems to be even greater than he guessed.

His idea was correct. Yu Chaojun maneuvered the flying boat to the top of the tower and reached out to probe the spirit pearl from the air.

As if sensing this anomaly, the entire realm trembled.

Yu Chaojun's face turned pale. Three breaths later, the trembling of heaven and earth stopped, and the spirit pearl had fallen into his hand.

After putting away the spirit pearl, he made a sweeping motion with his right hand, and a crack appeared in the sky, through which the cultivation world could be seen.

Without further hesitation, Yu Chaojun's flying boat shot out of the crack like a streak of light.

As the world changed, Yu Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked back and saw that the crack had completely disappeared. She couldn't help but say, "We're leaving. The black fox is still inside..."

Yu Chaojun looked at her as if she were a child who knew nothing. Hearing this, he said gently, "Once Father has complete control of the Spirit Pearl, the black fox will be easy to capture. Since he can't get out now, let him stay inside and live a miserable life for a while."

Yu Zhen didn't know much about array formations or spirit beads, but seeing that her father wasn't worried at all, she could only nod: "Even so, Father, you still need to be careful."

"Alright, Father will be careful." Yu Chaojun smiled, but in his heart he wished he could cut that black fox who dared to hurt his good daughter into ten or eight pieces. The reason he didn't act immediately was simply that he wanted to crush that black fox completely and destroy its soul.

The flying boat was very fast, and soon stopped at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Yu Chaojun, carrying the little fox, disembarked from the flying boat and was about to head towards her courtyard when she heard Xie Linyuan speak behind her—

"Please wait, senior."

Yu Chaojun turned around: "Is there anything else?"

Xie Linyuan stood still, glanced at the little fox in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and then took out something from his arms: "...something that I obtained in the secret realm, Miss Yu...should be of use to you."

If it were anything else, Yu Chaojun might not be moved at all, but when it came to his beloved daughter, his expression immediately changed.

He looked thoughtfully at the young man standing in front of him, his gaze lingering for a moment on the numerous sword marks on the young man's body, before finally focusing on the object in Xie Linyuan's hand.

A pill landed in his palm, emitting a faint spiritual energy, and Yu Zhen found it somewhat familiar.

"What is it?"

Xie Linyuan pursed his lips and said, "Spirit Shaping Pill."

"How...how could you have this?!" The little fox's eyes widened in surprise, and it even gripped Yu Chaojun's sleeve tightly with its paws.

Yu Chaojun looked at him with a complicated expression: "We've used countless Spirit Shaping Pills in order to help our beloved daughter take human form, but it's still useless."

Yu Chaojun: "But it's good that you have this heart."

Xie Linyuan paused for a moment, then said, "It's different."

He didn't look at Yu Chaojun's face, but for some reason he didn't dare to look into the little fox's eyes either. He just lowered his eyes and said, "This is something I obtained from the secret realm. The spirit of the tower said that it was made by a great alchemist of the fox clan for his beloved disciple who couldn't take human form. Its effects are more than a hundred times that of ordinary Spirit Shaping Pills."

Yu Chaojun tightened his grip on the little fox, his tone changing: "Is that really true?!"

Xie Linyuan hummed in agreement: "That's what it says."

Yu Chaojun was deeply moved. Even though he had gained control of this secret realm, he could not arbitrarily use anything within it, and the trial treasures in the tower could only be obtained by those with the right destiny.

If this pill really works...

Xie Linyuan held the pill steadily, and Yu Chaojun did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his right hand, the pill fell into his hand.

He gave Xie Linyuan a deep look and said, "You traded this pill for the reward from the secret realm."

Yu Chaojun: "Whether it's useful or not, I certainly won't let you suffer a loss."

After saying that, he picked up the little fox and disappeared from the spot.

Xie Linyuan paused for a moment before slowly exhaling.

He loosened his clenched fists that were hanging at his sides and looked down at his palms.

Why...why would he make such a choice?

Sometimes, even he himself doesn't understand his own heart.
