Chapter 237: Chapter 236 Whim

So, under normal circumstances, Zhang Yanhang could actually hear such a level of sound quite clearly, it was simply a matter of whether he wanted to listen or not.

If Zhang Yanhang knew that his surroundings were so lively after he fell asleep, he certainly wouldn’t be able to sleep at all, as he would definitely be curious to explore what was happening.

But these were still not all, the night was still quite long, and more things that Zhang Yanhang didn’t know about were going to happen.

Around two o’clock in the morning, a strange rustling noise came from the window of Zhang Yanhang’s bedroom, as if some creature was trying to open his bedroom window. Accompanied by a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy, the initially locked window latch suddenly ’click’ popped open on its own.

A furry black paw gently pushed open a small crack in the window, and then through the crack, followed by a similarly furry yellow head. It squinted its pair of yellow vertical pupils toward the bed. Only after confirming that Zhang Yanhang was indeed asleep did it squeeze its entire body into the bedroom.

With triangular ears, a long and slender face, a petite figure, a body covered with yellow fur, and also possessing a large, fluffy tail—if Zhang Yanhang were awake, he would surely be surprised to find a fox suddenly sneaking into his home.

This yellow fox, familiar with the path, scurried from the window to Zhang Yanhang’s bed. It placed its black paw cautiously on Zhang Yanhang’s forehead and uttered a ’ying ying ying’ sound. After a series of short cries, a beam of white light suddenly shone from the fox’s paw.

The little fox tried to manipulate the white light to penetrate Zhang Yanhang’s brain, but for some reason, it went awry; the spell that normally never failed couldn’t even enter the surface of his skin and remained lingering on the skin’s surface.

At this moment, Zhang Yanhang suddenly opened his eyes and slowly said a few words, "Continue, don’t stop."

After saying this, Zhang Yanhang closed his eyes again, ignoring the panic-stricken expression on the little fox’s face.

Although Zhang Yanhang indeed let his guard down while sleeping, he was still, after all, a Second Tier Awakened. If someone touched him, he would definitely know.

The little fox felt that this time, she might have encountered a High-level Awakened and immediately stiffened with fear, yet dared not disobey Zhang Yanhang’s order. She feared that if Zhang Yanhang became displeased, he might simply decide to exorcise her.

Although she truly wanted to obey Zhang Yanhang’s command, the Dream Creation Technique in her hand just couldn’t take effect. It couldn’t invade the brain of this High-level Awakened at all. "Boss, can you loosen up your defenses a bit? My magical prowess is too weak; I can’t make it through like this."

After hearing this, Zhang Yanhang activated Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil and scanned the female fox that had inexplicably appeared in his house. Upon discovering that she was just an ordinary First Tier Monster, he canceled the Energy Shield’s block on her.

For the current Zhang Yanhang, such a First Tier Monster was unable to pose any threat. Even if they made an all-out effort using all their spiritual energy, they couldn’t possibly break through his physical defenses; thus, even if he didn’t use the Energy Shield, there would still be no issue.

It was precisely for this reason that Zhang Yanhang confidently canceled the block on her, as this female fox, who once easily lulled him into dreams, was truly too weak for the now-promoted Second Tier Zhang Yanhang.

Once Zhang Yanhang disabled the block, the white light in the little fox’s hand indeed successfully entered Zhang Yanhang’s brain, but like a clay ox entering the sea, it had no effect whatsoever.

"What kind of shoddy spell is this; it doesn’t work at all." Zhang Yanhang opened his eyes and stared fixedly at the female fox at the head of the bed. He had been all prepared to start dreaming, yet no matter how long he waited, nothing happened.

The female fox’s body shivered involuntarily, "You can’t blame me, Boss. It’s just that your defensive capabilities in this area are really too strong..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that he had just acquired a skill called ’Supreme Will’ yesterday, which rendered him immune to all spiritual attacks below his Intelligence Attribute. His current Intelligence Attribute was as high as 42 points.

The female fox before him was just a First Tier Monster, and naturally, her Intelligence Attribute could not be higher than his. This meant that unless Zhang Yanhang could shut off the Supreme Will Skill, the female fox’s Dream Creation Technique would never work on him.

But how to shut off a Passive skill, that involved a blind spot in Zhang Yanhang’s knowledge. Since it had never occurred to him that there would be a need to shut off a passive skill, he had also never researched such a matter; after all, passive skills had no consumption. Since there was no cost, why would one think about shutting it down?

Zhang Yanhang’s choice today was simply because he had nothing better to do. He wanted to have a dream for fun, but now, the matter was suddenly hampered by the Supreme Will, making it somewhat complicated. Regardless of the complexity, Zhang Yanhang knew he had to find a solution.

So, in order to dream again, Zhang Yanhang began diligently researching how to shut off a passive skill. During his research, he also casually asked the female fox why she had appeared here.

The answer the female fox gave was quite simple: she liked to make humans dream in order to absorb the naturally emanating spiritual qi from them.

As for why she came to Zhang Yanhang’s place, initially, it was not because she was fixated on Zhang Yanhang’s spiritual qi per se, but because opening a Transmission Channel would surge forth a massive amount of spiritual energy, which she coveted and wanted to freeload.

However, while freeloadng on the spiritual energy, she unexpectedly discovered Zhang Yanhang, an Awakener who, due to consuming an excessive amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, had an exceptionally abundant supply of spiritual qi. Therefore, with the mindset of ’buy one, get one free, and it’s a loss not to receive,’ the female fox decided to also harvest some of Zhang Yanhang’s spiritual qi.

This also explained why Zhang Yanhang only encountered options related to dreaming right before the opening of the Transmission Channel because that was the only time the female fox would come.

At the same time, Zhang Yanhang also asked the female fox why she came here today, even though it was not the day when the Transmission Channel was opening. The answer he received was even more simple, just four words—whim of the moment.

The female fox didn’t know why she suddenly wanted to come here; she just remembered having such a strange idea out of the blue.
