Chapter 189: The Fox Spirit (2)

Lin Qingshui was very fond of this fox.

Wen Wan suddenly felt that this charm skill wasn't so useless after all. Being held in the arms of a beautiful woman at all times, with a faint fragrance of perfume on her body, and being stroked all over her fur, made her feel so comfortable that she wanted to snore. She was also given delicious meat to eat. Was this the life of a fox master?

It's much more comfortable than being human.

"What's your name? Senior brother, shall we give her a name?"

Shen Qianyuan: "Whatever you say."

Although he had not completely let his guard down against the fox spirit, he knew that the demon core he had personally dug out would cause the demon race to regress to its original form, slowly lose its demonic consciousness, and eventually become an ordinary animal.

So she is harmless, but he still wants to eliminate her completely. However, doing so will definitely upset his junior sister.

Lin Qingshui thought for a moment, "You're so fair-skinned and beautiful, how about I call you Xiaobai?"

Luckily, she was a white fox. If she were a spotted fox, she would be called Little Flower; if she were a black fox, she would be called Little Black; and if she were a yellow fox, she would probably be called Little Yellow.

Xiaobai, at least, is a proper name.

...

After that, Wen Wan followed the two of them all the way to Xue Zong. It has to be said that Xue Zong really was on a snow mountain. Apart from the pavilions and halls of Xue Zong, there was only a vast expanse of white snow covering everything.

According to the system's introduction, the Snow Sect is protected by the male protagonist's barrier, so the Snow Sect is like spring all year round, while the outside is frozen solid. Moreover, the Snow Mountain has a huge divine spiritual vein, which can be said to be a holy land for cultivators.

Along the way, I met many people who came to Xuezong to become disciples. They came from various sects, and some I couldn't tell which sect they belonged to. They all looked quite young. After all, Xuezong has an age limit for accepting disciples. Those who are over thirty years old cannot enter the trial and thus cannot enter Xuezong to cultivate.

When Wen Wan entered the Snow Sect, Lin Qingshui secretly put her in a storage bag. To prevent her from freezing to death, he also gave her a piece of fire jade to chew on, even though he felt that it was a waste to use such a treasure to chew on.

"Xiaobai, don't run around. If you get caught, you'll be in danger," Lin Qingshui warned.

Wen Wan nodded and obediently rubbed her fingers against Lin Qingshui's.

Don't worry, if possible, she would rather not come out. She doesn't want to meet that so-called Third Young Master of the Demon Clan, Yao Ye, at all; he is an extremely dangerous being.

Upon entering the Snow Sect, everyone was assigned accommodations.

"The Snow Sect Trial will be held in three days. These are the rules and regulations of the Snow Sect. Please read them carefully and do not violate them." After the disciple leading everyone away, Lin Qingshui released Wen Wan and then began to read the rules and regulations of the Snow Sect with his senior brother.

Wen Wan glanced at it.

There must be thousands of them, densely packed together.

"As expected of the Snow Sect, which has the strictest rules, there are just too many rules."

Shen Qianyuan nodded, "Let's memorize it as soon as possible and just make sure we don't break the rules."

Then Shen Qianyuan frowned quickly, and Lin Qingshui asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

"Article 320: It is forbidden to keep pets without permission. If you have a spirit beast, you must register it at the Spirit Beast Peak. Otherwise, you will be severely punished if you are found to have one."

Lin Qingshui: "..."

Wen Yan: "..."

So isn't it just an unregistered entity?

"Senior brother, Xiaobai is just an ordinary fox, not a spirit beast. If she is discovered, won't she die?"

Shen Qianyuan tacitly acknowledged Lin Qingshui's concerns.

"Senior brother, can I hide her in my storage bag so that no one else can find her?"

Shen Qianyuan disagreed, but when he saw his junior sister's pleading eyes, he simply couldn't refuse.

"Remember not to let her out in front of others, so that she won't be discovered."

"Okay, senior brother."

Wen Wan looked at Lin Qingshui as if she had seen a Bodhisattva. What a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy! Don't worry, I will definitely play matchmaker for you and the male lead.

Three days later, the day of the trial arrived. Lin Qingshui placed Wen Wan in the room and repeatedly warned her, "Xiao Bai, you must not leave this room, or you will die, you know?"

Wen Wan nodded: I understand.

“I can’t take you with me, otherwise we’ll be discovered. I’ve prepared some spiritual food for you. If you get hungry, just find something to eat in the storage bag. Remember, remember, don’t leave this room.”

Wen Wan nodded: Don't worry, even if she dies, she'll die in this room.

It's too dangerous outside.

Shen Qianyuan reached out and cast a small protective barrier around the room. "That should do it. She definitely won't be able to get out. Let's go, junior sister, we're running out of time."

"Okay, senior brother."

The two turned and left. Wen Wan lay on Lin Qingshui's bed, gnawing on a small piece of spirit stone. While grinding her teeth, she could also absorb a little bit of spiritual energy so that she wouldn't starve to death.

"Comfortable, happy, this is the life I want: to be waited on hand and foot, to do nothing, and to have food served to me."

System: [...] Didn't you seem to be on the verge of death a while ago? Your host has adapted quite quickly.

[You also need to remember to complete the mission. The male lead didn't appear at the disciple recruitment ceremony because his Asura bloodline suddenly surged, forcing him to go into seclusion. So you need to help him attend the ceremony and accept Lin Qingshui as his disciple. Originally, the female lead's blood could suppress the Asura bloodline—that's the original setting—but for the mission, your blood can also be used. This is like a cheat code for completing the mission; you should make good use of it.]

Wen Wan: "..." So should she be grateful? Is it a good thing that she's going to bleed out?

"I can't get out; there's a barrier set up by Shen Qianyuan here." I don't want to bleed, I don't want to go.

Digging tunnels is an option.

Wen Yan: "???"

"Me, such a cute and delicate fox, you want me to dig a hole to get out? Even if I break my paws, I still can't do it!" she said, raising her pretty, slender little paws.

Don't worry, you are still a demon at heart; your body isn't that weak.

That's so heartless, so heartless! To make a fox cub like her do such a thing is utterly immoral.

Time waits for no one. If you don't dig quickly, the mission will fail and you're doomed.

Wen Yan: "..."

So while the female lead and the second male lead were away participating in the freshman trials, Wen Wan dug a hole under the bed for a whole day before finally getting through to the outside. In the process, she transformed from a snow-white fox into a gray, dirty, and ugly fox.

The claws and nails are split open from digging.

Go find Gu Xuefeng now.

Gu Xuefeng was in the Thousand Snow Palace, the highest and largest hall in the entire Snow Sect. No one could enter without being summoned. Unlike other places in the Snow Sect, the Thousand Snow Palace was not shrouded by a barrier, so it was still snowing heavily.

Before Wen Wan even entered the room, she was thrown three meters away by the barrier.

My bones feel like they're about to fall apart.

"There's a barrier here, so I can't get in."

[Dig a tunnel.]

Wen Yan: "..."

Here we go again?? Will her claws really break? But in the end, she was forced to find a secluded spot and start digging. She dug like a dog, digging frantically. After digging for a while, she got tired and replenished her spirit stones before continuing to dig.

They dug for another whole day, and the fox was almost completely exhausted. As soon as she entered Qianxue Palace, Wen Wan was nearly frozen to death. "Is this place really habitable? Is Gu Xuefeng crazy? Why did he make his place so cold?"

【Go find someone quickly.】The system was like a ruthless machine, urging and tormenting her.

"No, I'm going to rest for a while. I'm exhausted."

Wen Wan ruffled her fur. At Lin Qingshui's place, she used a cleansing technique to bathe her every day. The once fair and tender little fox now had dirty fur covered in dirt and matted.

"What sins have I committed to deserve being bound to you for a mission? I've never suffered such injustice before."
