The colorful beads are not only dazzling, but also faintly emit a fragrance.
In the space of consciousness, the sleeping little fox wrinkled its nose, seemingly attracted by the fragrance, and suddenly opened its eyes.
Then, it let out an excited low growl, and its body appeared in the outside world.
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to the little white fox.
Ignoring everything else, it leaped directly into the seven-tailed fox's hand, opened its mouth, and swallowed the five-colored bead whole. With a flick of its body, it returned to Lu Shi's consciousness space. Satisfied, it burped and fell asleep again.
"All you do is eat and sleep, sleep and eat, you lazy fox." Little Scissors's angry words were laced with jealousy.
The energy contained in these five-colored beads is far greater than that in a large box of high-level magical artifacts.
When this little fox wakes up again, it will probably be in its infancy.
The little fox that suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared was clearly seen by the seven-tailed fox.
She murmured in disbelief:
"The Nine-Tails, it really is the Nine-Tails, but... why did it form a contract with you?"
“You’ve seen the Nine-Tailed Fox, you can leave now!” Li Cuiling interrupted.
"It's my cousin's child, can I see it again?" the seven-tailed fox pleaded, her voice filled with anguish.
Lu Shi sighed. In the end, she couldn't bear to see the fox's pitiful state, especially since it was someone's relative's child and they had given such a generous gift. It was neither reasonable nor ethical for her to be so cruel.
With a sudden thought, she hugged the little fox to her chest.
The sleeping little fox still clung tightly to Lu Shi's sleeve, as if afraid of being abandoned by its master.
The seven-tailed fox scrutinized her for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes.
Finally, she seemed to have made a big decision and slowly began to speak.
"My cousin abandoned the Celestial Fox Clan for a man, and her fate remains unknown. Unexpectedly, she left behind the Nine-Tailed Bloodline. It is a great fortune for our clan. However, since the Nine-Tailed Bloodline has formed a contract with you and is so attached to you, I will not forcibly take it away. But I hope you will take good care of the Nine-Tailed Bloodline."
As she spoke, she waved one hand, and a crack suddenly appeared in front of her. She quickly reached into the space and pulled out a purple-glowing lightning-type magic root.
"Here, take this. I see you have super-level strength in both lightning and fire elements, and you also have a fusion magic skill, but it seems you don't have the corresponding magic root. This is the lightning magic root I acquired back then, so I'm giving it to you."
Seven-tailed Fox gave Lu Shi a lightning-type magic root.
"The Beast God Alliance and the Shadow Society have begun a full-scale cooperation and are about to launch a new round of cleansing of the human world. Be careful, and remember, the Celestial Fox Clan will always be a safe haven for you and the Nine-Tailed Fox!"
As a voice message entered Lu Shi's mind, the Seven-Tailed Fox's form shattered into fragments and vanished into thin air.
Only Lu Shi heard the last few words.
Beast God Alliance?
It seems there are quite a few mythical beasts!
Are they trying to cause trouble?
It's for sending souls, isn't it?
Seeing the seven tails dissipate, Li Cuiling carefully checked her lightning-type magic root, confirmed there were no problems, and nodded to Lu Shi.
"Shishi, this lightning-type magic root is top-grade. Combined with the fire-type magic root I gave you, you absorbed it all after returning to the capital. At this rate, your violence level will surpass your master's in the future."
Lu Shi carefully stored this lightning-type magic root along with the previous fire-type magic root into her spatial storage.
"Shishi, let's go back to the spacecraft."
The three then caught up with the aircraft and successfully returned to their seats.
It turns out there's a special entrance on top of the aircraft that leads directly to the first-class cabin.
Apart from the staff, no one behind the scenes knew about this departure.
The rest of the journey was safe and sound.
The aircraft landed at the Capital Airport.
As they circled over the capital city, Lu Shi carefully observed what lay below.
The eastern district of the capital is filled with skyscrapers and air traffic, looking much like J City. However, the western district is different; it's surrounded by a very retro ancient city wall, and the buildings inside are antique and charming, resembling an ancient city.
The entire capital city is divided into east and west sections by these two distinctly different architectural styles.
At this point, we have to mention that homebody from before. Having grown up in the capital, she had never been anywhere except to school, and knew absolutely nothing about the capital.
The aircraft landed.
Lu Shi walked with Li Cuiling and Wu Chenyi.
Zhang Qinglan and Li Zicheng's group of students from Magic No. 2 Middle School boarded the vehicle prepared by the organizing committee of the National High School Magic Competition.
The two said goodbye.
"Shishi, I've notified Xiao Huang to pick us up. Stay close to me." After giving her instructions, Li Cuiling took the lead and walked towards the arrival hall.
Lu Shi nodded in agreement and followed her master closely.
Wu Chenyi transformed into a bag carrier, dragging a suitcase and following behind.
In fact, Lu Shi possessed a spatial ability, but Li Cuiling insisted that it not be easily revealed. This left Lu Shi with no choice but to cast a helpless glance at her senior brother.
The three walked from the empty space into the arrival hall.
Inside the brightly lit and bustling arrival hall, rows of uniformed reception staff suddenly appeared, holding flowers and clearing a path through the crowd.
Then they stood up straight, their faces beaming with warm smiles.
People around stopped in their tracks, casting curious glances and whispering amongst themselves.
"These must be members of the Chen family!"
"Look, that's the third young master of the Chen family. He's dressed so formally. Is he going to greet some important person?"
“The Chen family wouldn’t allow a playboy like Chen Youliang to meet any important figures.”
As everyone was discussing this, a cheerful melody filled the hall.
A richly dressed man, holding a bouquet of flowers, hummed a cheerful tune as he walked towards Lu Shi, who was entering the arrivals hall.
Surprisingly, the song he hummed using sonic magic actually sounded quite nice.
He's just an average person, especially in height, only about the same height as Lu Shi.
The man strode up to Lu Shi, and the song he was humming suddenly transformed into a soothing melody. The music, almost tangible, swirled around Lu Shi, mimicking the ancient practice of lingering melodies for three days, its effect lasting and profound.
"Stop reading, stop reading, get to the point." Lu Shi couldn't help but interrupt the man's self-indulgent ramblings.
"Shishi, you left the capital so quietly, I was so worried about you. Luckily, I heard from the Magic Association that you were returning today, so they specially arranged this grand welcome for you. Are you happy?"
As the man spoke, he handed the flowers to Lu Shi and stared at her expectantly.
At this moment, Huang Tian, who was standing next to the man, scratched his head sheepishly and tried to explain.
“Chen Youliang, we’re not close. I don’t need you to pick me up at the airport. I have my mentor and Uncle Huang. Your unauthorized actions are quite embarrassing.” Lu Shi spoke first, firmly pushing away the flowers offered to her.
Chen Youliang heard Lu Shi's words.
Swish.
Tears can fall in an instant.
"Shishi, you've changed!"
"Yes, you've become more beautiful, but you've also become more ruthless. The old you wouldn't have rejected me so resolutely."
"You always reject me gently."
These words of banter made Lu Shi feel a surge of anger rising to her head. Just as Lu Shi felt she was about to lose control and was preparing to unleash a combined attack of thunder and fire to shatter this pretentious person in front of her.
"Young Master Chen, as soon as Shishi came back, you rushed over to fawn over her. How shameless is that?"
In the distance, a man slowly walked over. Lu Shi glanced at him and recognized him as Jiang Kuanglan, the culprit who had tricked her into going to N County.
"Jiang Kuanglan, you fucking tricked Shishi away back then, I haven't even settled the score with you yet." Young Master Chen suddenly turned around, saw Jiang Kuanglan, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"Heh, there's a whole bunch of people coming to settle scores with me. You'll have to wait in line!"
Jiang Kuanglan raised his hand and pointed behind him.
A group of young men dressed as noblemen, accompanied by their entourage, were seen hurrying towards them.
Lu Shi covered her head.
She knew all these people; to be precise, she knew them from her previous life.
Those were all the former's sycophants!
