Chapter 36: Attitude of Gratitude



Chapter 36: Attitude of Gratitude

"..." The white tiger boy looked at the beautiful shadow fox with an intense look, but the other party ignored him.

Ely had a different objective, and she needed to figure it out.

She might have just saved someone, but she couldn\'t tell whether this tiger boy was the so-called hero or not. After all, the area around the snowy mountains was vast and stretched in the north to nearly half of the Northern Realm.

Therefore, she had to confirm it first. She overheard some conversation between this white tiger boy and his seniors. So, this boy\'s storage pouch would do its job to reveal the truth.

"Se-Senior, thank you for saving me. If possible, could you return my storage pouch?" The white tiger boy expressed his wish with difficulty. His entire body screamed in pain, but he could not lose the treasures he had risked his life for.

"The jungle is so wild, and the strong rule over the weak. It would be hazardous for a junior to possess so many treasures. Little guy, I won\'t make you suffer a loss. How about you sell this one to me?" Ely took out a treasure from the boy\'s storage pouch.

It was a tall vegetable-like stem with four leaves and two flowers, complete with its roots and a bundle of soil. This white tiger boy couldn\'t cut or uproot this herb with his current strength, but he was smart enough to dig up the soil around it.

The vitality herbs might have different variants and forms, possessing enormous pure vitality and magical effects. And this one was medium quality. Ely was confident this vitality herb was the one that her quest mentioned as the reward for saving a particular young hero.

But, young hero?

"This junior dare not offend you, senior. But, I really need that life-essence spiritual herb." The white tiger boy tried to propel his body to sit up. He knelt and clasped his hands.

He couldn\'t sense any spiritual aura, but this senior probably just hid her cultivation base. His vision was still a little blurry because of the blood obscuring his eyes. Yet, he was sure this powerful senior was a gentle soul.

The best course of action was to save his life first, then establish a good relationship with this beautiful senior.

"You\'re trying to bargain when you know I can take it immediately without your permission? What are you going to do with this herb?" Despite saying that, Ely had her principles and sense of morals.

After all, it was not her spoil of war. So, she only needed to make this boy sell this vitality herb to her.

"I know you won\'t do that, senior. Your killing intent is non-existent; I\'m sure you are a gentle soul. You don\'t have any malicious aura, either. I need that life-essence herb to save my grandfather\'s life." The white tiger boy made his request with some trepidation.

He didn\'t even dare to raise his head. He was actually making a bet because of his sixth sense. If he displeased this senior, he might die without a proper burial.

Ely put a glass bottle of life-saving potion before the white tiger boy. "This is a top-tier healing potion from a herb of similar quality. It is enough to cure your grandfather of any curse or illness. It can also extend his lifespan."

After saying that, Ely returned the boy\'s storage pouch, then she put the vitality herb into a unique pot.

"Senior, this is-" The white tiger boy widened his eyes in surprise.

This senior was only interested in the life-essence herb and had no interest in anything else. She even returned everything as if it was worthless garbage.

He did need that life-essence herb, but he still needed to find many precious materials and a top-tier alchemist first. And here, he has already received the finished product.

"I\'m sorry, little guy. I need this herb to save people\'s lives too. If you feel it\'s not enough, I\'ll add this. It will save your life twice." Ely threw two protective talismans at the white tiger boy.

"This junior, thank senior!" The white tiger boy felt he shouldn\'t ask for more.

"It\'s strange... You are actually a human disguised as a demi-human using a secret technique." Ely only realized the truth after looking closely at this white tiger boy.

This boy previously had a pair of tiger ears and a white cat tail with black stripes. However, her Eyes of Truth bypassed the disguise. She discovered he was an authentic human boy, not a white tiger demi-human, and his name was Bai Yuchen.

"!?" Bai Yuchen gasped. The shock made a chill creep up from deep within his soul. His secret technique was top-notch, but it was seen easily by this senior!?

"Fufu~ fret not. I shall not inquire further. Every cause always has a reason. We may meet again if fate allows it." Ely retracted her healing assistance artifact.

She healed the injured secretly but didn\'t do it for free. The one who paid the price for the instant healing was none other than the patients, and she reaped 10% profit on her healing services as usual.

If only her disciples could do the same thing as her, she would never worry their vitality would be drained without them noticing it.

"..." Bai Yuchen looked at the powerful senior\'s back. She had nine fluffy tails!

However, she suddenly disappeared like an illusion. He hadn\'t even asked her name...

At that moment, he gasped to the point that he forgot to breathe as he realized a shocking truth. His savior was a legendary nine-tailed fox from myth.

He praised his great luck repeatedly in mind. He was confident they would meet again soon. Unfortunately, he didn\'t have the chance to see her beautiful visage clearly because of his injury. She was definitely a peerless beauty.

"Eh?" Bai Yuchen realized that his injuries had long since disappeared, as if he had never been injured before. No pain, no blood, and no wounds... His dantian got repaired without him knowing it.

He looked at the two talismans attached to his chest. Finally, he understood it was all thanks to that powerful nine-tailed fox senior. She not only helped him form a predicament but also saved his life.

After securing his belongings, he clasped his hands and expressed gratitude toward the direction his savior left. It was his first time meeting an influential figure with a good and kind nature.

Hatred and kindness shall meet their cause and effect. He would always remember this favor.

Bai Yuchen waited for a few minutes, then glanced sideways. He grinned widely at his unconscious seniors. "Hee-hee... What do I need to do with you all?"

He spoke no more nonsense and immediately stripped the bullies naked, leaving them only in their underwear. They intended to cripple him and seize his treasures, but he only repaid that favor with a total robbery. He was pretty generous.

"Consider you lucky I didn\'t take your cheap life. Let\'s hope no wild beasts will eat you while you\'re still unconscious. Bye!" Bai Yuchen snorted sarcastically, then ran away from the crime scene.

He received a lot more precious treasures and resources than he could ever imagine. Not to mention the healing potion. "Hiyaa, hya, hahaa... Hee-hee!"

"..." Ely shook her head and sighed when she saw that boy leave with a strange laugh.

[Bai Yuchen (FV: 2960) | 3rd Rank Early Stage]

[Favorability: 75%]

[Talent: 4 Stars | SSR]

Ely rechecked that boy\'s status screen and wondered. "He is blessed with great luck but also possesses the good talent as my disciples. Who is he? Moreover, his FV is higher than Gab-chan..."

She was still wondering about the meaning of FV. It might be Fortune Value, Fate Value, or something else. To find the vitality herb and other precious treasures at his first exploration was something that only someone with super luck would have.

"That shameless boy doesn\'t know good from the bad, master. Would you like to find out more about him?" Jophiel squinted her pink eyes at that stinky boy, then just snorted.

"No need." Ely shook her head, then asked the light spirit to leave the vicinity.

"Master, are we going to the secret realm that boy mentioned?"

"No, my objective is to find two vitality herbs. This type of herb cannot be found twice in one extreme region. We might find another one in the deep snowy mountains."

"Disciple understands."

"Nee, Jophi-chan."

"Yes, master."

"How can someone increase their fate, luck, and fortune if it can be measured?"

Ely genuinely asked because she was curious. She knew how to raise the rank of one\'s talent and increase their overall capabilities, but fate and fortune were still a complete mystery.

"Perhaps, it is related to one\'s sins and virtue, but luck holds an attitude of gratitude. Fate and fortune aren\'t something we can fully control. However, it would be possible if it were you, master." Jophiel tapped her chin.

Speaking of luck, she always felt lucky to have her master.

"Hmm..." Ely rested her cheek on her hand. She planned to raise her disciple\'s FV for a trial run. That value could go up and down at will without her knowing the actual cause.

She was under the assumption that more FV was equivalent to more luck. If her disciples became more fortunate, they would bring her more fortune.
