CFSMS -Chapter 199 The Beast Alliance, Advance!

Before dawn broke, morning dew trickled across blades of grass in the forest. Trees stretched their branches, and all living things awakened from the embrace of the night.

Inside a tree hollow, Lu Wu was still sleeping soundly while hugging her three little companions.

Outside the hollow, however, countless furry little heads peeked inside. Their cautious tiptoeing looked irresistibly adorable when performed by fluffy animals.

“She’s still asleep.”

The mother fox spoke softly. The surrounding animals lowered their voices as well, afraid of disturbing Lu Wu’s sweet dreams.

“I heard that sleep is very important in the human world. Keep it down.”

A squirrel hugged its fluffy tail, its eyes full of sympathy as it looked at Lu Wu.

After a night’s rest, the rabbit-ear effect had disappeared, and the altered memories had returned to normal. The animals remembered that the rabbit-head vendor from yesterday was actually a human.

But Mousey wasn’t afraid anymore.

It didn’t think the human had deceived it. Instead, it believed the human had gone to great lengths for its sake.

To help Mousey feel at ease, the human had even worn beast ears.

Such a human was simply too kind.

Although the instinctive fear of humans lingering in its bloodline still prevented it from approaching Lu Wu too casually, it no longer wanted to run away.

Mouse wouldn’t be a deserter.

The other demon beasts around it shared the same thoughts.

Any human capable of turning evil rabbits into delicious rabbit heads had to be a good person.

“Can we eat rabbit heads again today?”

The speaker was a golden monkey.

After receiving enthusiastic praise for her golden fur yesterday, she had carefully groomed herself before leaving home today. Her coat now looked even shinier and smoother.

“Let’s go catch rabbits.”

The fox proposed the idea.

Yesterday, it had noticed that the human’s rabbit heads were made from rabbits caught on the spot.

“I happened to find a few evil rabbits in the eastern forest. If we go together, we won’t have to fear them.”

The fox wiped the saliva gathering at the corner of its mouth into its fur.

Just thinking about the taste of rabbit heads made it unable to resist. It had spent the entire night dreaming about rabbits.

“I’m in.”

“Count me in too.”

“Let’s catch rabbits for Boss Lu!”

More and more demon beasts answered the call.

Perhaps individually they weren’t a match for the evil rabbits, but gathered together in large numbers, they were more than capable of wiping out entire rabbit colonies.

The Beast Alliance, advance!

A large group of demon beasts silently departed, leaving behind only some weaker squirrels and the mother fox.

When Lu Wu woke up with a yawn, she saw the fox sisters walking into the tree hollow carrying morning dew on leaves.

Their crimson fur radiated warmth like flames.

Their narrow fox eyes were charming and alluring.

Under the fox sisters’ attentive care, Lu Wu finished washing up.

Looking at her pleasantly scented palms, Lu Wu sincerely felt that King Zhou couldn’t entirely be blamed for being captivated by beauty.

Daji’s charm really did corrupt people’s hearts.

Breakfast consisted of spirit fruits gathered by the demon beasts.

The crisp fruits were bursting with juice and rich in spiritual energy. One fruit was enough to fill her stomach.

Surrounded by foxes, Lu Wu walked outside and spotted a squirrel peeking from a treetop.

She was just about to put on her rabbit ears to prevent the little squirrel from having another panic attack when it suddenly leaped toward her.

“Chi!”

Human, Mouse has arrived.

Mousey’s human-phobia was cured?

Being buried under fluffy creatures first thing in the morning made Lu Wu grin so hard she nearly lost track of where her mouth was.

When she reached her stall, she discovered an even bigger surprise.

“Wow, you guys are amazing!”

Countless rabbits were lying dead on the ground.

After receiving Lu Wu’s praise, the returning hunting beasts all puffed out their chests proudly.

They carefully cleaned the bloodstains from their fur before approaching Lu Wu to receive head pats and affection.

The Beast Alliance’s first operation had been a complete success.

Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the forest, the few remaining evil rabbits huddled together inside a cave, trembling in fear.

They were the lucky survivors.

Although the ghostly energy corruption had left them obsessed only with fighting, their survival instincts had finally overcome their desires in the face of the beasts’ brutal counterattack.

Can Rabbity still survive…?

“Everyone gets some, everyone gets some!”

With ingredients being delivered right to her doorstep, Lu Wu couldn’t refuse the beasts’ enthusiasm and rolled up her sleeves to get to work.

Spells flashed continuously through the forest.

Glazed flames danced gracefully beneath the cooking pot.

Spices bloomed in the hot oil, and the chili peppers beloved by the beasts naturally couldn’t miss this reunion.

As the aroma of the braising broth spread through the air, more and more demon beasts emerged from the woods.

Their numbers doubled.

After a whole night of word-of-mouth spreading, the news had reached even farther corners of the mountains.

Living in this kingdom of fluff, Lu Wu was practically surrounded by furry companions on all sides.

She tapped her metal basin.

“Line up, line up! Time to eat!”

The lid was lifted.

A huge pot of glossy, red rabbit heads soaked in rich braising broth. Beneath the pot, the flames continued simmering gently as the broth bubbled away.

Steam brushed against Lu Wu’s cheeks.

With a radiant smile, she greeted her beastly customers.

“You want two rabbit heads? Got it! Thank you for your patronage!”

The moment the first sale was completed, the system delivered good news.

A breeze swept by.

Spiritual energy surged.

Thanks to her relentless efforts, Lu Wu’s cultivation finally advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

System, keep up the good work.

“Come try one? Sure.”

“Don’t rush.”

Under Huo Huo’s direction, the beasts maintained an orderly queue.

Da Huang squatted beside the stall, supervising every beast to make sure they paid.

As for Mimi—

His job was chasing away the powerful demon beasts lurking nearby.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains were extremely primitive. Many regions remained forbidden zones even for humans, filled with countless dangers.

The commotion caused by Lu Wu had already attracted the attention of some powerful demon beasts.

They cast curious gazes her way, only to retreat under Mimi’s threatening glare.

Even without a single human customer, Lu Wu’s business continued smoothly and efficiently.

Amid the lively atmosphere, the beast customers ate until their lips glistened with oil.

Meanwhile, at the Divine Spear Sect, Elder Jiang found himself unable to leave despite his growing anxiety.

After bringing back the information yesterday, he hadn’t publicized it. Instead, he had gone straight to discuss it with the sect master.

Unfortunately, the sect wasn’t ruled by a single voice.

After hearing the matter, one elder who was fiercely loyal to the sect refused to believe Elder Jiang’s claims.

“That pill was thoroughly tested back then. There’s no way there’s a problem with it. And I trust my disciple. He would never betray the sect.”

The speaker was Elder Dan.

The person currently responsible for refining Ghost-Repelling Pills was his disciple.

“Old Jiang, how can you suspect my loyalty and my disciple’s loyalty because of an outsider?”

Elder Dan’s brows shot upward. He looked ready to settle the matter through a physical debate.

“I never said your disciple was the problem.”

Elder Jiang felt helpless.

The two had entered the Divine Spear Sect together years ago.

He trusted this old friend.

But the fact that something was wrong within the sect was equally undeniable.

If the problem wasn’t in the pills, then it had to be in the testing process.

Elder Jiang shot a look at the sect master.

Weren’t we supposed to investigate secretly? How could you leak the secret so quickly?

The sect master awkwardly avoided eye contact.

What could he do?

Elder Dan was his father-in-law.

Not someone he could afford to offend.

While Elder Jiang dealt with Elder Dan’s suspicions, his thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

The disciples had told him everything about Boss Lu yesterday.

From the videos they showed him, Boss Lu’s food never waited for anyone.

There might not be people in the Hundred Thousand Mountains—

But there were beasts.

And Boss Lu’s affinity with beasts was unbelievably good.

Right now, Elder Jiang was anxious beyond words.

Knock, knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

It was the disciples from yesterday.

The argument immediately paused.

When the door opened, the youngest disciple was shoved inside by the others.

Facing the burning gazes of three elders, the disciple spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

“Elder Jiang… Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters want to know… when we’re leaving.”

They missed Boss Lu.
