The white fox scarf hung quietly and obediently around Qi Ning's neck, conveying the message: what bad intentions could a little fox possibly have?
Minglu couldn't help but laugh.
It's really tough on it; even a little fox is acting so diligently.
In the middle of summer, aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke?
She slowly removed the fox fur from Qi Ning's neck and said calmly, "I don't want things that have been worn by others. I'd rather burn them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mingluo clearly felt the white fox fur freeze, and wisps of resentment silently spread out, trying to entwine her arm.
Minglu scoffed, "You're courting death!"
He immediately lit the talisman to burn away the resentment, and then burned the fox pelt.
The fox fur bristled instantly. This time, ignoring the talisman pasted on the window, it leaped out of the window with lightning speed, disappearing without a trace with a shrill scream.
"Still trying to escape?"
Mingluo immediately jumped out of the window and chased after him.
The fox fur was incredibly fast; there was no way I could catch it on my own.
She took out a wooden figure from her person, infused it with a wisp of spiritual power, and then threw it away forcefully.
The wooden figure grew as it flew through the air, letting out a long, miserable scream as it crashed heavily onto the fox pelt, knocking it to the ground.
Soon, the sounds of fighting erupted from the grove.
"One, two, three, freeze!"
"Don't speak or move."
"No walking, no laughing."
The wooden man and the white fox fur fought to a standstill.
When Mingluo arrived, her eyes narrowed slightly. No wonder Master Zhao wanted this fox pelt so much; it turned out that the fox pelt was incredibly powerful.
The white fox was getting increasingly frustrated after a prolonged battle, especially with Mingluo watching him intently from the side.
It instantly revealed its true form, transforming into a tall, robust, snow-white fox with eight long tails. One of the tails wobbled down as it transformed, turning it into a seven-tailed fox.
It stared at Mingluo with resentment.
This is the price it paid for escaping through the window.
Minglu had been waiting for this moment. She immediately slapped at the fox, and the fox seemed to want to fight her to the death as well.
Minglu struck the fox on the forehead with her palm, and at that moment, a mark appeared on the fox's forehead.
Minglu thought and thought, and realized that the mark seemed to be... a talisman that Master Zhao had placed on the fox?
The fox was sent flying by Mingluo's powerful blow. It used the momentum to fly a long distance before landing gracefully on the ground, letting out a melodious laugh: "Thank you... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to remove this talisman."
It slowly stood up, and another tail fell off its body.
It evoked a little heartache, but more than that, it gave it a sense of triumph.
After all, it had schemed against this formidable woman.
Minglu withdrew her hand and clicked her tongue. "Originally, I planned to find an auspicious burial site to properly resolve your resentment, but now... I've changed my mind."
"What do you want? If you really want to bury me, I know an excellent place."
The fox bared its canines, its eyes greedily fixed on Mingluo's collarbone.
Although the area was covered by clothing, the beautiful peach blossoms could not be seen.
But its nose could smell that it was a place of great feng shui, the place with the richest spiritual energy in the world.
If it absorbs all the spiritual energy there, it can be instantly revived and cultivate a ninth tail.
Minglu looked down at her collarbone and said indifferently, "You wish! I originally thought highly of you and that you died unjustly, so I let you leave cleanly and innocently. But since you have been subdued by Master Zhao and then went to harm an ignorant mortal, I can also take you in and use you."
As she spoke, she formed a hand seal and struck at the white fox.
The white fox bravely stepped forward, coldly saying, "You hypocrite, you're just like Zhao Youde, the only difference being that you're even more deceitful and tastier. Let your soul fill my belly."
It wanted to swallow the rich spiritual energy whole.
For this reason, it would rather give up its remaining six tails.
It opened its blood-red maw and instantly transformed into a blur as it attacked Mingluo.
Mingluo said calmly, "Good timing."
She slowly took out a bronze fragment containing spiritual energy, and gently circulated her power to absorb the spiritual energy.
The Peach Blossom Seal was activated again, silently spreading throughout Mingluo's body and absorbing the spiritual power from the bronze artifacts. Just then, the white fox rushed over and confronted the Peach Blossom Seal.
With a loud "boom".
The white fox was knocked away and crashed into more than a dozen trees before finally coming to a stop.
Its soul was now so weak that it had become transparent, and its six tails fell off one by one, leaving only a lonely tail.
"You're so cunning..."
The white fox sighed.
Mingluo was probably the most cunning human it had ever encountered.
Mingluo looked at it indifferently, "Thank you for the compliment. Will you come with me or not?"
"Kill me!" The white fox raised its eyes, glanced at her lazily, and a fleeting look of infatuation crossed its eyes. In the end, it couldn't eat her. What a pity.
Minglu raised an eyebrow. "Why would you rather follow a fake exorcist than be with me?"
"With him?" the white fox sneered. "He subdued me before I even woke up. He's despicable, you're cunning, neither of you are good people."
“I should have killed you,” Mingluo said calmly. “But I once knew a fox who told me to be nice to her fox cubs and offspring. Killing you would ruin my reputation. How about we make a deal?”
