Chapter 263: When two harms meet, their lightness is
At the end of the season, I suppressed my inner excitement and kept thinking in my mind.
"Giving yourself a wish and then telling yourself that your father has also made a wish, the meaning is very clear. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox obviously knows what happened in my family. He has also seen my thoughts before, so he naturally knows what I want to know the most. Therefore, this wish has only one purpose."
"That is to make a wish for yourself and know the wish your father made."
"If you do this, you will definitely fall into a trap set by the Nine-Tailed Fox."
"But is this really the case? Why would the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, one of the strongest in the world, do such meaningless things?"
"It's impossible to have no fun in a long life, so let's tease ourselves."
"That's definitely impossible. As a second-level existence, I'm no different from dust in the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. I'm not even qualified to be a toy. Ji Mo still has a clear understanding of himself."
"Why did the Nine-Tailed Fox do these things?"
"Is it because your inquiry is related to your father's wish?"
"Or did something happen between them back then that made the Nine-Tailed Fox choose to do this?"
Ji Mo's mind was constantly thinking, and the nine-tailed fox sitting opposite him witnessed it all. He took out a table and a teapot from somewhere, skillfully brewed tea, and handed the cup filled with tea to Ji Mo.
"There's no need to rush to make a wish. We still have plenty of time. Why don't we talk while you're thinking about your wish?"
"As a phantom in the secret realm, I haven't talked to other people for many years. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Even Ji Qingning is dead."
"Two hundred years have passed so quickly. Back then, I thought he would be able to enter the Dao of Integration, and we could sit under the Ancient Tree of Life and have a chat."
"His knowledge is truly beyond the ordinary. He is one of the few interesting people I have ever met."
As he spoke, the nine-tailed fox picked up the teacup and took a sip.
But Ji Mo, who was sitting opposite, was shocked by this huge information.
"Two hundred years? Fusion?"
"What is he talking about?"
"What the hell are these?"
Suddenly, Ji Mo's whole body shook, and an impossible possibility came to his mind.
Ji Mo raised his head, bloodshot eyes almost overflowing, and he spoke with some trembling: "What do you mean by two hundred years?"
"what?"
The nine-tailed fox tilted its head in confusion.
"Literally, hasn't two hundred years passed?"
"Otherwise, why did you come instead of him?"
"Isn't it because his life span of 200 years has come to an end? He has already entered the half-step fusion path but failed to break through the fusion path and died of old age?"
Hearing this, Ji Mo shook his head and said, "No, my father passed away due to illness a few years ago."
This time it was the Nine-Tailed Fox's turn to be confused. He waved his hand and said confidently:
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Not to mention the Half-Step Fusion, even those in the Condensed Spirit Realm are almost immune to poison. Even the most virulent poison cannot harm his spirit."
Ji Mo listened carefully to what the Nine-tailed Fox said, and his surprise made Ji Mo certain of one thing.
"Perhaps my father's strength is far beyond my imagination."
There is only one possible reason for guessing this. As the top life in the world, the Nine-tailed Fox would not bother to lie about such a thing. Although he could not understand what Rong Dao and Ning Shen were and how they were divided, as a Nine-tailed Fox that has lived for so long, it is impossible for him to misjudge such a thing. Moreover, Ji Mo did not believe that his father could really gaze at his realm to the level of deceiving the Nine-tailed Fox.
Looking at Ji Mo's serious expression, the Nine-tailed Fox also became a little suspicious. He raised his head, looked at the sky through the clouds, and looked at the eternal scorching sun hanging above the blue sky.
The sun was reflected in his emerald eyes. After a moment, he lowered his head again. This time, he seemed to understand everything. The doubt in his expression disappeared, and he sighed softly, "So that's how it is."
The look he showed towards the end of the season also became somewhat complicated.
"I'm sorry, but the previous wish may have to be cancelled."
"I know what you want to ask, or you can change your wish so that I can still fulfill your wish."
The changes in the nine-tailed fox made Ji Mo clearly aware of the unusualness of the matter.
Sure enough, things had changed drastically from the beginning. Ji Mo's father must have known the Nine-tailed Fox, so after the change, that question could no longer be asked.
Before Ji Mo could open his mouth, the Nine-Tailed Fox spoke again: "If you insist on asking for the answer to this matter, I can also tell you vaguely. Are you willing to use this wish to seek that vague answer?"
Ji Mo was originally planning to offend the Nine-tailed Fox, but he was saved before he could say anything. Communicating with the other party was like communicating with another self. Ji Mo nodded slightly.
"I am willing."
The nine-tailed fox sitting opposite smiled, and the lines on the other side of the world quickly gathered here, forming a withered page of a book. That page made Ji Mo feel so familiar, and the book of destiny hidden in the sea of consciousness also experienced a violent vibration at this moment.
Not surprisingly, it was a page from the Book of Destiny, a page that recorded one's own destiny.
The nine-tailed fox picked up the floating page and looked at Ji Mo.
"Before I give it to you, I have to confirm one thing." The Nine-Tailed Fox's expression became extremely serious, and he didn't speak again until he heard Ji Mo say "OK".
"First, we must confirm one thing. Before we examine our fate, our destiny is not fixed, or rather, it has countless possibilities. The so-called pages of fate can only give you a vague answer, or rather, a vague point. It does not confirm your destiny, but rather an answer to the question you most desire in your heart."
"Once you've confirmed your intent to examine him, no matter what you do, you'll be infinitely closer to the answer to your question. In other words, once you've examined him, your fate is sealed."
The nine-tailed fox's emerald green eyes sparkled brightly, and his serious expression made people feel depressed. His gentle voice was no longer there, but was replaced by a solemn question.
"Are you sure you really want to see it?"
Sitting opposite, Ji Mo took a deep breath, smiled, and said with a trembling voice, "I'm sure."
This time, when faced with the choice of answer, he was neither cowardly nor evasive. Just like the rare courage that emerges when facing difficulties, he knows very well that if he still escapes this time, he will never have the courage he has now again.
Rather than the regret of leaving and never knowing the answer to the matter, he looked forward to the unbearable despair of facing the truth.
When two evils meet, the lesser one is the better.
