Chapter 68 The Fox Fairy's Tribulation
Shao Yanzhe looked up at the hole above him. His head, still a little stiff from just waking up, had no idea why there was a hole above him.
He looked for a while and found that even with the hole, nothing had happened.
He had only been asleep for less than two hours, and he was still very tired, both physically and mentally.
He simply took the blanket off the bed, shook it on the ground, and the broken tiles and clods of dirt that had fallen on it were shaken off. He casually patted the top of his head to brush off the small pieces.
Then, she took the blanket back to bed, lay down, covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes again, and soon her breathing became long and even, clearly she had fallen asleep again.
Xuan Yao, who was lying next to Shao Yanzhe's pillow, was speechless as he watched Shao Yanzhe's actions. This guy was really oblivious. He almost got struck by lightning and a hole appeared on his head, but he was completely unaffected.
However, he also knew that it was because Shao Yanzhe hadn't witnessed the lightning strike that he was able to fall asleep.
Xuan Yao looked up at the sky and noticed that the oppressive force from above was gradually dissipating, so he knew that the little fox demon under the bed had passed its tribulation.
I just don't know what stage of cultivation he has reached.
As he was thinking this, he peeked under the bed and saw that the little fox demon, which originally had only one tail, now had nine.
"You actually possess the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox!"
Xuan Yao looked at the nine fluffy tails behind the little fox demon, his eyes flashing with surprise and envy.
As a spirit cat, he was born with nine lives, but his bloodline is very ordinary. Without any extraordinary encounters, his current strength is already at its limit.
The Nine-Tailed Bloodline is different. After passing the tribulation of lightning, it only needs a trigger to shed its demonic form and transform into an immortal.
Judging from the little fox demon's condition, it was clear that it was injured because it failed to survive the tribulation of lightning, which is why it was injured and captured by humans.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive the human attack, you will still die if you cannot survive the tribulation lightning that follows.
Therefore, Shao Yanzhe must have saved the little fox demon's two lives.
In particular, he helped the little fox demon survive the tribulation of lightning; the debt of gratitude for that is immense.
Xuan Yao couldn't help but look at the little fox demon with schadenfreude. If he couldn't repay the debt of gratitude, he could forget about becoming an immortal in this lifetime.
Thinking this way, he lost his envy and instead felt sympathy.
"Hehe, congratulations!" He grinned at the little fox demon.
The little fox demon hiding under the bed was flattered by the fact that the spirit cat outside was being so kind to her.
Then he guessed that it was because he had just passed the tribulation of lightning and was about to become a fox spirit that the big cat was being so nice to him.
Definitely!
The little fox demon was certain of his guess, and he wanted to proudly raise his head.
Yesterday you ignored me, today you can't even reach me.
He was about to say something sarcastic when his head slammed against the bed.
The pain in his head immediately brought tears to his beautiful fox-like eyes.
He covered his head, which had been bruised, with his forelimbs and lay on the ground, sobbing, "It hurts so much!"
A clear, boyish voice rang out, sounding pitiful, making one want to rush forward, hug him, and comfort him.
Unfortunately, the spirit cat demon who witnessed all of this was hard-hearted.
Instead of comforting the little fox demon, he let out a cruel laugh.
Hearing this mocking laugh, the little fox demon cried even harder.
Shao Yanzhe, who was sleeping in bed, turned over, startling the cat and fox. Afraid of waking them up, they both tacitly lowered their voices.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard no more of Shao Yanzhe getting up.
"Alright, now that you've survived the tribulation, you can leave!"
The little fox demon crawled out from under the bed, sat on the ground with her front legs propped up, and looked down at Xuan Yao on the bed with her eyes moist and full of grievance.
"Why?"
Xuan Yao lazily flicked his tail, opened his eyes and glanced at him: "You know that humans and demons cannot stay together for long. Although you have survived the tribulation, there is still demonic energy in your body. You should hurry back to the mountain to cultivate!"
"Moreover," he glanced at the little fox demon's current size, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious. Before, the little fox demon's size was about the same as his, but now it was three times his size. He closed his eyes, not wanting to look anymore, "You're too big now. Two-legged beasts can't afford to raise you."
The little fox demon felt even more aggrieved. He didn't want to grow so big, but he couldn't control it and couldn't turn back into his previous small size.
"Hurry up and go!" Xuan Yao urged.
The little fox demon had no choice. He knew that the scholar couldn't decide whether he could stay or not. As long as this big... little cat didn't agree, the scholar wouldn't raise him.
hateful!
He glanced at the kitten sleeping close to the scholar, glared at him angrily, and then turned and left.
He's right. In his current state, the scholar will definitely be even more afraid of him when he sees him.
He glanced sadly at the nine fluffy tails behind him. What beautiful tails they were, what a pity.
The little fox demon vanished into the night in a flash.
Baiyue Peak is located a hundred miles outside Jiangzhou City. There, the mountains are layered and shrouded in mist all year round, and the mist only dissipates on the fifteenth of each month.
It is said that someone once saw several white foxes on Wangyue Peak, worshipping the moon. Then the moonlight fell on the foxes, and they transformed into human form.
One of the women had an exceptionally beautiful face with naturally defined brows. Every smile and frown of hers was captivating, yet her imposing aura kept people at bay, making her seem like an immortal.
When the news reached the court, the emperor, filled with longing, sent people to find the fox spirit.
No one who entered Baiyue Peak ever came out.
Over time, and with the emperor growing old and dying, no one entered Baiyue Peak anymore.
Baiyue Peak is a forbidden mountain in the vicinity. From a young age, the elders have repeatedly warned them not to enter the mountain, and the people in the surrounding villages have always obeyed, so the two sides have lived in peace.
But today, the mist over Baiyue Peak is thin, and in the village located southeast of the peak, everyone is gathered together in panic, looking at the woman in white standing in front of them.
The woman in white wore a long white dress with a nine-tailed fox embroidered in silver thread on the hem, which appeared and disappeared as she moved.
She reached out and casually picked a white flower. Her hand was slender and fair, like the finest white jade, with round and delicate nails that were clearly well-maintained.
She gently brushed her fingers across her head; the white flower perfectly complemented the fluffy hairpin on her head, further highlighting her fair skin.
The woman's narrow eyes swept across what was in front of her, a cold glint in them.
"Tell me, what did you do to my child?"
An old man said tremblingly, "Fox Spirit, no one in the village has seen your child."
In the crowd behind him, a man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit looked away, his face full of guilt. He glanced at the woman and quietly hid behind the crowd.
Although he moved carefully, he did not escape the woman's keen eyes.
Her face immediately turned cold. She reached out and grabbed the man, who grabbed her by the neck, pulled her out of the crowd, and then slammed her to the ground.
"Cough cough!" The man covered his neck and coughed violently.
The old man's expression changed slightly when he saw the man, as if he had thought of something. He stared at the man with a very unpleasant look on his face.
"Chen boy, what have you done! Tell me!"
The man, feeling guilty, didn't dare look at the old man, only keeping his head down and coughing occasionally.
Seeing his appearance, the old man's face grew even uglier: "Speak! If you don't speak, I'll kick you and your mother out of the village!"
The man's face immediately changed, and he quickly looked up and pleaded, "Village chief, I'm begging you, don't drive us away! It's just that a few days ago, I found a little fox cub, and I sold it to the chef at Taifeng Restaurant along with the prey I had hunted."
The old man's vision went black for a moment, and he almost collapsed to the ground: "You! You! You're confused! Are you trying to kill us all?!"
He knelt down before the woman with a thud: "Fox Fairy! Please forgive us for our ignorance. As for the culprit, you may do as you please."
The man knew he had made a grave mistake, but he didn't dare to beg for forgiveness.
The woman's eyes blazed with anger. The little fox cub the man spoke of was the most promising one in her clan, the one with the greatest potential to become a nine-tailed fox fairy. She never expected that this man would sell him to a cook. She could easily guess what had become of him.
When was it sold?
The man said, "Yesterday."
The woman's vision went black. She hadn't expected that just one period of seclusion would lead to such devastating news upon her return.
Looking at this group of ignorant humans, she wished she could kill them all to vent her anger.
Her black pupils suddenly contracted, turning into thin lines, and a hint of murderous intent was revealed in her narrow eyes.
With the most outstanding junior gone, the future of the fox clan is probably over. In that case, it doesn't matter if they get involved in killing.
Her eyes gleamed with ferocity, her fingers cleaved into claws, and sharp nails grew out. White fox fur also began to grow on her cheeks, making her look extremely terrifying.
The people in front of her were terrified, but dared not run away. They could only close their eyes and await their impending death.
"Clan leader! You've emerged from seclusion?" A familiar voice, filled with excitement, rang out, pulling the woman back from her reverie.
The woman looked at the newcomer and saw a white nine-tailed fox. Its fur was completely free of any other color, and the red mark between its eyebrows made the fox look sacred and inviolable.
"Xiaobai? Is that you?" she asked tentatively, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"It's Xiaobai! Clan leader, don't you recognize me?" Xiaobai tilted its head slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
The woman, disregarding the punishment of the humans, blew a puff of white mist, and they vanished from the spot.
"You, how did you become like this?" she asked in a trembling voice.
"That's right, I'm a nine-tailed fox now!"
Xiao Bai then belatedly realized that he was now a nine-tailed fox spirit!
