However, his Nascent Soul stage cultivation was somewhat weak, and those with some cultivation in the sect looked down on him. They also didn't remember that if it weren't for this sect leader, Guangming Sect wouldn't have enjoyed so many years of carefree comfort. Shen Wangshu silently looked at the old man for a while before slowly saying, "My senior brother never mentioned giving me any reward before."

The sect leader of Guangming Sect gave her a gentle look.

He shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his aged face.

"There are still most of the Dao techniques of the Guangming Sect in here. As an elder of the sect, you should also receive a share." He clapped his hands with a smile. Shen Wangshu was surprised to see kindness in the eyes of this fellow disciple who was about the same age as her but much older. She trembled slightly, but seeing his smile, she lowered her eyes and said calmly, "If the sect still exists, I will not touch these Dao techniques."

As long as Guangming Sect is not destroyed, she will keep her Daoist teachings, which can be considered a promise that she is the last line of Daoist successor of Guangming Sect.

Even if the sect is truly destroyed, she will still pass on the Daoist teachings.

"Thank you very much." The sect leader of Guangming Sect stood up and took his leave.

He didn't ask anything, and Shen Wangshu didn't mention anything either, but it seemed that the two of them understood each other's feelings.

Shen Wangshu sighed and accepted the storage ring.

The fox walked over with elegant gait, lay down beside Shen Wangshu's hand, rested its fluffy little head on Shen Wangshu's arm, and lazily wagged its tail.

"I feel disgusted just looking at this sect. But there is still some hope." Shen Wangshu snorted coldly, glanced at the countless treasures given to him by the sect leader of Guangming Sect, and then went into seclusion to cultivate.

This time, she still refined countless pills. Xiao Xuan's cultivation was already approaching the Nascent Soul stage; the fox clan seemed to have a special cultivation method. Every day, it absorbed massive amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the area outside Shen Wangshu's cultivation ground was almost devoid of spiritual energy. However, even so, Xiao Xuan still felt hungry, and Shen Wangshu kept refining spiritual pills to supply it for cultivation.

Once you start cultivating, you lose track of time and the world around you. Shen Wangshu didn't stop until he had refined all the spiritual herbs in his hands into elixirs.

In front of her, a tall and handsome young man was reclining on his side, his chin resting on his hand.

His smile was charming and alluring, his long white robe slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone, and his every glance was an exquisite beauty.

He held a magic pill in his hand, looked at Shen Wangshu with a smile, licked it, and then put it in his mouth.

Shen Wangshu felt so tired.

She rubbed her eyes, put away the alchemy furnace, and looked helplessly at the fox-eared youth in front of her.

His cultivation had been fully restored. Thanks to Shen Wangshu, he had even reached the half-step Mahayana stage, just like the Demon Sect Master. With such cultivation, he could have already transformed into a complete human. However, this stunningly beautiful young man still had a pair of fluffy fox ears. Moreover, a trail of tails was gracefully spreading out behind him.

That's right, there was a whole place... fluffy and chubby. Shen Wangshu counted them; there were nine in total.

It really is a nine-tailed celestial fox.

"What's wrong with your tail?" Shen Wangshu asked, exasperated.

A smile played at the corners of the handsome young man's eyes as he leaned over and rested his head on Shen Wangshu's lap, his fair neck curving gracefully as he looked up and softly asked, "Do you like what you're watching?"

One of his tails extended to Shen Wangshu's ear, another hooked around her slender waist, and yet another tried to reach into Shen Wangshu's clothes. Just as he was gloating and his ears were twitching, he saw Shen Wangshu smile at him. In his daze, he felt a pain in his tails, as ice froze all his outstretched tails.

Shen Wangshu stared in disbelief as the nine tails, frozen solid, crashed to the ground. Xiao Xuan was already stunned.

"Why don't you put it away?"

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Xuan said, feeling wronged.

"What?"

“You love touching my tail, now you can touch it to your heart’s content,” the fox said matter-of-factly.

"This fox is definitely pretending to be stupid," Shen Wangshu took a deep breath and turned her head away.

Seemingly sensing her tacit approval, Xiao Xuan's charming eyes revealed a hint of smugness, melting away the ice and snow as she pounced on Shen Wangshu and pinned her down.

However, he knew better than to be blind. The sect leader of Guangming Sect had sent a message via flying sword, saying that the sect leader of the Demon Sect had arrived at the outer courtyard of Guangming Sect with his disciples. At this moment, he was being received by his disciples and entering the mountain gate together.

He silently cursed the Demon Sect Master in his heart, then reluctantly rubbed his face against Shen Wangshu's before getting up and transforming back into a snow-white fur ball. The fur ball licked its paws, let out a cry, jumped into Shen Wangshu's arms, sat upright, and looked quite smug, even puffing out its little belly.

It patted its belly at Shen Wangshu.

"You'll protect me?" Shen Wangshu sat up and asked with a smile.

The nine-tailed celestial fox, who was halfway to Mahayana, grinned.

It happily rubbed its fluffy little head against Shen Wangshu's chin, vigorously waving its furry paws in a menacing manner, while looking at Shen Wangshu expectantly.

Shen Wangshu felt that she had actually understood what the fox meant.

She hesitated for a moment, then patted the fox's head.

This guy's mind is filled with thoughts of being able to cultivate with the Demon Sect Master after killing him; he's even more terrifying than the Demon Sect Master.

Shen Wangshu felt extremely troubled just thinking about its nine tails.

However, since he wanted the fox to be his backer, he still needed to offer some benefits. Shen Wangshu lowered his head and kissed the fox's head. Seeing that the fox was so infatuated with him that it was completely disoriented, he suddenly felt that the fox spirits of the fox clan were really too easy to fool.
