Chapter 74: Fire Element True Qi, Whistling Through

"Why did they ambush us?" Long Hu asked.

"There aren't always clear reasons," Long Long replied while holding the fox's soft and warm hand. "Greedy for riches, lustful desires, or maybe they wanted to capture us to use as bait to scout the road ahead..."

"As long as you can be sure that they bear hostility towards us, killing them is justified."

"Oh," the little fox nodded. "Then how do we determine if someone is hostile towards us? Like, if they attack us?"

"It's a matter of instinct," Long Long answered.

"Huh?" Long Hu was a bit puzzled.

"First, a cultivator's life or death often hinges on a moment," Long Long explained. "There's not much time to react."

"Thus, if you feel someone is hostile towards you, even without any proof, you should immediately be on guard."

"Otherwise, by the time the other person attacks and you're belatedly preparing to retaliate, it's already far too dangerous."

"Oh, Oh, Oh," Long Hu nodded repeatedly, as though she had come to a realization.
