Chapter 240: 143, look at your horn!_2
This had happened a few times in the past simulations.
The second reason, and also the most important one, was that she was actually directionally challenged.
...
The mountain peaks soared into the clouds, with sweet bird songs by his ears.
Silver waterfalls flowed like shattered jade through the mist, entering his dim consciousness.
In the blur, he could vaguely sense a dog licking his face incessantly as if trying to wake him up, although the force was surprisingly heavy, as if washing his face.
Soon after, cool liquid flowed from his cracked lips down his throat.
When Xu Yuan woke up, his entire body ached ceaselessly, he stretched lazily, wiped off the remaining saliva on his face, and felt his bones crackle as if they might pop out the next moment, which wouldn't be surprising.
He stood up on the cliffside stream bank, his complexion slightly pale, and looked back to a desolate scene.
In contrast to the bustling beauty of Dawn City, this place seemed so primitive and wild, with snakes and insects rustling through the woods, and the low roars of demon beasts constantly in the ears.
After waiting a while and confirming that the elder from Confucian-Mo Pavilion had indeed not followed him, Xu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed he was lucky, although the Teleportation Formation was disturbed, he had ultimately arrived in the Demon Realm.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be a slight error with the location.
The destination Xu Yuan had originally set was supposed to be not far from the Divine Wood where the Nine Tails Heavenly Fox lineage resided.
But when he woke up and looked around, he couldn't find the massive Peach Source Divine Tree anywhere.
Thud—
At that moment, he heard the sound of wood falling on the ground behind him.
Xu Yuan turned around.
There he saw a girl with snow-white wolf ears, green eyes, holding various spices and fungi, staring at her with a wide-open mouth.
"Food... came to life?!"
She looked extremely shocked, with her small mouth slightly open, and said somewhat puzzledly.
Xu Yuan's mouth twitched involuntarily.
No wonder he felt that her licking force was a bit too heavy,
Was she really trying to wash his face?
Clean it well before taking a bite, huh?
"I am not food,"
Xu Yuan said irritably.
"No?"
The girl blinked her eyes, a bit naively said, "But you fell from the sky! Grandma always told me when I was young that pigs don't fall from the sky, just like how guarding pigs will not wait for rabbits. I always thought it was right, but now it seems, I was indeed wrong!"
"Big pig..."
Xu Yuan felt there was no room for communication with the girl in front of him.
Although in a sense, she could also be considered his lifesaver.
After all, with so many wild beasts around, if it weren't for her having left some scent on him, he probably would have been digested by them by now.
"Speaking of which..."
The girl's nose twitched, then she showed a huge perplexity in her eyes, "I just realized that your ears are indeed different from a Pig Demon's, but since you can speak human language, what kind of demon transformed into you? I don't seem to have seen your kind before. Completely white, no fur, no tail, none of the Transformation Demons I've seen are like you."
"!"
Though perplexed that the girl knew human speech but did not recognize a human being, Xu Yuan had no time to ponder further.
Just as he was struggling to come up with an excuse to cover up his lack of fur after Transformation, the girl suddenly had an epiphany.
"I got it, you must be the legendary unicorn, right?!"
"Unicorn?"
Xu Yuan was startled and was about to go along with the girl's words, but then the girl frowned and said, "The unicorn is a legendary creature that is pure white and purely noble, only after it transforms can it possess such perfect form, but then again, where is your horn?"
"..."
Xu Yuan fell silent for a moment.
Just as he was about to gather the little remaining Spiritual Power inside him to activate the Illusory Realm to help him disguise,
The girl, however, had an expression as if she had discovered a new continent: "Oh, I know, it's there, right?"
Following the girl's gaze, a subtle expression appeared on Xu Yuan's face.
He didn't know how to tell her that this was a physiological phenomenon unique to human beings.
But since he already thought of me that way, I had no choice but to agree.
"Exactly, I didn't expect you to see through my disguise despite my efforts."

Xu Yuan sighed.
"Humph,"
The Snow Wolf Clan girl cradled her azure blue eyes full of pride.
"Of course, I am the smartest, smartest, smartest Momentary Rin of the Snow Wolf Clan!"
"Momentary Rin?"
Xu Yuan asked, "Is that your name?"
"Yes!"
Momentary Rin put hands on her hips, "Listen well, I am the rare genius of the Snow Wolf Clan, unmatched in combat, known as Xue Lin, also called Momentary Rin."
"I see,"
Xu Yuan spoke with admiration, "So, it's the great Xue Lin. I've heard much about you!"
"Eh? You've heard of my name?"
Xue Lin blinked her eyes, her tail starting to wag behind her like a dog's.
"Of course."
Xu Yuan chuckled internally.
Initially, he thought the girl in front of him was pretending to be dumb, but now it seemed he was overthinking.
"Wait! Don't rush to get close to me."
Suddenly, Xue Lin's face turned stern, she looked at him, "First, prove to me that you really are from the unicorn clan."
"...How should I prove it?"
Xu Yuan looked at her innocently, yet he was already on high alert internally.
His spiritual power had nearly depleted, and judging from the girl's aura, her realm seemed roughly equivalent to a human Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator.
Although the current Xu Yuan could kill a Core Formation cultivator as easily as slaughtering chickens, that was when he was at his peak. Given his severely depleted spiritual power and damaged meridians from many battles, he might even struggle against a Late Stage Qi Condensation Cultivator now.
"Show me your horn!"
Seeing the Snow Wolf Clan girl seriously utter these words, Xu Yuan nearly lost his composure.
"Do you really want to see it?"
Xu Yuan asked with a strange expression.
"What else?"
The Snow Wolf Clan girl gnashed her teeth, trying to look threatening, "Hurry up, take it off and show me, or I'll eat you right now."
Xu Yuan was not pretentious.
If it weren't for the odd behavior of Tian Liuli and Jing Lixue earlier that had evoked strange emotions in him, he would have let her see it the first time she asked.
In the sunlight, the giant horn glimmered like a soaring cherry red lance piercing the sky.
The girl gazed at the horn, swallowing her saliva involuntarily.
This thing in front of her was a treasure!
She had a premonition that if she could eat it, the shackles that had troubled her for a long time would melt away instantly like ice and snow.
Indeed, he was a unicorn!
The girl's sky-blue eyes sparkled.
Seeing her almost ravenous expression, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
But his acting was excellent, and with a stern face, it was almost imperceptible: "What do you think? Is it..."
From her stance and demeanor, the girl seemed very experienced in combat. Yet why did she look so impatient at the sight of his horn, as if she desperately needed it?
"Slurp~"
Xue Lin licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes gleaming, "It seems you are indeed a genuine unicorn, no! Given the size of that horn, you must be the legendary Unicorn King!"
"..."
Xu Yuan felt her intent to devour him surge suddenly.
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite!"
A dangerous hue spread across the girl's face, her mouth opened to reveal sharp teeth stained with a few strands of blood.
"Let the feast begin!!!"
