Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1236 - 63: Special Inheritance, Dream Prophecy

Hu Ruolan originally thought she would be rejected, but unexpectedly, the young man who appeared very cold actually agreed.

Hu Ruolan expressed her immense gratitude and followed the trio to an inn in the city, where they settled down.

After arranging accommodation, Ya Ji and Hui Yu were both puzzled.

"Young Clan Chief, how could you rashly agree to that woman’s request when we don’t even know her identity or background?" Ya Ji was particularly unhappy as the Young Clan Chief had ordered them before departure to call him Young Master in public and not to reveal his identity.

But now, he suddenly took a woman along with him.

Although that woman seemed weak and incapable, who knows if she might actually be a wolf in sheep’s clothing? After all, this is the Sky Fox Tribe Country, and it’s better to be cautious.

"She bears a slight resemblance to an old acquaintance of mine, so...let’s help her," Lu didn’t understand why he inexplicably agreed to a stranger’s request.

Aside from some resemblance in appearance, the woman named Hu Ruolan looked nothing like Yun Sheng.

Hu Ruolan was like a fresh white jasmine, pitiful and delicate, while Yun Sheng was like a thorny rose; anyone who touched her would be left with scars.

But it was exactly such a personality that captivated Lu’s gaze.

"Alright then, let’s shelter her for a few days. Hui Yu, have you checked things out?" Lu was unconcerned; he had secretly verified that Hu Ruolan possessed neither fighting spirit nor magic and posed no danger.

"Young Clan Chief, I’ve already inquired from the shopkeeper. The Heavenly Fox Saintess Ceremony has already proceeded through one round. It’s said that during today’s bloodline test, two Six-Tailed Heavenly Foxes and two Five-Tailed Heavenly Foxes appeared," Hui Yu surreptitiously glanced at the Young Clan Chief’s reaction as he said this.

Never mind the Five-Tailed Heavenly Foxes; this time, the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader must be overjoyed, considering there are two Six-Tailed Heavenly Foxes.

The Old Clan Chief must also have learned this news and would certainly be more determined to have the Young Clan Chief marry the Heavenly Fox Saintess.

"And what if they have six tails? Even if it’s nine tails, I won’t marry them," Lu snorted.

Ya Ji watched from the side, secretly delighted; it seemed the Young Clan Chief really disliked the women of the Sky Fox Tribe.

"Moreover, tomorrow is the second round of the Heavenly Fox Saintess Ceremony at the Heavenly Fox Temple. Does the Young Clan Chief want to check it out?" Hui Yu asked.

"Alright, I’ll go and take a look at what kinds of candidates are emerging in the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection," Lu decided to visit the Heavenly Fox Temple early the next morning.

After settling down in the inn, Hu Ruolan felt slightly reassured.

She also knew that, despite meeting Lu Ping by chance, even if she didn’t find Gui Zhi, she couldn’t continue following Lu and the others.

The vast sea of people left her wondering where she could search for her daughter.

"Sheng’er, you must protect your mother and give her some hints about where she can find you," Hu Ruolan sighed.

She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

Hu Ruolan softly chanted to herself.

At that moment, a faint fluctuation appeared over her body; the fluctuation formed a milky white mist around Hu Ruolan.

Within the mist, Hu Ruolan slept deeply.

This mist was not ordinary; it was a special inheritance induced by Hu Ruolan after using her own Sky Fox Inheritance.

Hu Ruolan was a Heavenly Fox, and the Fox Clan elders had long tested her, finding she lacked fighting spirit and magic talent. However, Hu Ruolan had a unique inheritance unlike other Heavenly Foxes, which made the Fox Clan Old Clan Chief view her with distinct favor.

This inheritance allowed Hu Ruolan to foresee the future through dreams, known as Dream Prophecy.

Therefore, after having that dream last night, Hu Ruolan hoped Hu Qianqiu would search for their daughter Hu Sheng because she knew her daughter Hu Sheng had surely returned to the Bahuang Continent.

In the dream, Hu Ruolan saw someone vaguely ahead.

"Sheng’er?" Hu Ruolan called softly.

The figure ahead, Hu Sheng, showed no reaction.

She simply walked forward; Hu Ruolan watched as her daughter quickened her pace before ultimately disappearing into a speck.

"Sheng’er, turn around and look at your mother," Hu Ruolan called out, but Hu Sheng refused to turn.

"!"

Hu Ruolan started up in shock and glanced outside; it was already daylight.

In the dream, why did her daughter walk further away? An unsettling feeling grew wildly like weeds.

Hu Ruolan rubbed her temples and suddenly recalled,

The scenario in the dream, where her daughter was, seemed familiar.

"Heavenly Fox Temple—wasn’t that the place of the Heavenly Fox Temple in the Sky Fox Tribe?" Hu Ruolan thought back to her wedding with Hu Qianqiu, where they held their fox wedding ceremony at the Heavenly Fox Temple.

Hu Ruolan remembered the Heavenly Fox Temple contained a Heavenly Fox Statue, briefly visible in the dream.

"Could it be that in the dream, Sheng’er is hinting for me to find her at the Heavenly Fox Temple?" Hu Ruolan mumbled to herself, lacking clues but determined not to overlook the hint in the dream prophecy.

Hu Ruolan decided to visit the Heavenly Fox Temple today.

She hurriedly dressed and stepped out, coincidentally encountering Lu, Ya Ji, and others also preparing to leave.

"Are you heading out, too?" Hu Ruolan had learned last night that the kind young man named Lu had rescued her.

He hailed from the Jiuluan Tribe and was visiting the Hu Capital for business.

Ruolan had a good impression of Lu; he was not only handsome and dignified but also polite, the type every mother would find acceptable to introduce to her daughter.

Lu generously had paid for ten days’ rent for Hu Ruolan, allowing her to freely move around and search for her maid.

"Lady Ruolan, we heard the city’s Heavenly Fox Temple is hosting the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection. We’re planning to join in the fun and see the selection," Lu said amiably.

Saintess selection?

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruolan felt slightly dazed, almost forgetting the city’s current buzz about the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection.

To build ties with the Jiuluan Tribe, Hu Qianqiu and the Elder Council were keenly focused on the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection.

Hu Ruolan felt a sense of desolation at a man’s carelessness for his daughter’s safety, driven by the desperate need to ingratiate another tribe by finding a replacement Saintess for her daughter.

"Young Master Lu, I coincidentally wish to join the crowd at the Heavenly Fox Temple. May I join you?" Hu Ruolan forced a smile.

Ya Ji was displeased, ready to make things difficult.

"To be honest, sir, I came to Hu Capital to search for my daughter. She...is also participating in the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection," Hu Ruolan said, fearing refusal, and lied.

"Is that so? In that case, let’s go together since the Heavenly Fox Temple is a public venue, open to everyone to observe," Lu kindly consented and brought Hu Ruolan along to the Heavenly Fox Temple.
