The situation is extremely critical.
Tu Shan Lingxi, on the other hand, was carried by Wan Qijin and flew to the spiritual spring at the top of the mountain, a place that the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion had guarded for generations.
Lingquan, as the name suggests, is a spring with spiritual power.
Legend has it that this place is a dragon vein, and as long as the spiritual spring here does not dry up, the national fortune of the Yin Kingdom will continue.
In his previous life, without Wan Qijin's protective array, the spiritual spring dried up long ago, leaving Yin Yi without any protective dragon energy. The Yin Kingdom's fortune came to an end, and it was eventually destroyed!
"Awoooooo!"
The little white fox was round and plump. Because of the pain, it curled itself into a ball, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell its head from its tail.
Suddenly, Tu Shan Lingxi began to scream in agony. Her body began to swell infinitely, and an illusion of her adulthood appeared. This was because she could not absorb the dragon energy and was being forced to grow too fast.
Wan Qijin quickly placed the agonizing Tu Shan Lingxi into the magic array and immediately began to channel spiritual energy.
"Don't be afraid, Lingxi. Concentrate your meditation, absorb spiritual energy with your inner core, focus your inner vision on your dantian, and release spiritual energy around your spiritual platform..."
Wan Qijin's voice was calm and unhurried, but in reality, the regret in his eyes was almost overflowing. He was extremely heartbroken and felt very guilty.
What happened to him just now? Why did he suddenly say such a thing? Look how angry he made the little fox.
Wan Qijin didn't sit idly by; instead, she quickly began forming hand seals and setting up a magic array to completely envelop the little fox.
He was dressed in white with white hair, which danced in the wind. His purple eyes seemed to have solidified into something tangible. His hands moved faster, and the white light in the magic circle became even brighter.
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared, and the little fox vanished, replaced by a stunningly beautiful woman with a slender figure!
The woman wore a white veil that outlined her figure in a way that was both alluring and elusive, like a sacred flower that could steal a man's soul, constantly luring him into her seductive trap!
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and an unnatural blush appeared on her fair face. Her cherry-red lips couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
Wan Qijin's heart fluttered; he had never imagined that such a wonderful person existed in the world!
He was almost afraid to breathe, lest his heavy breathing disturb the woman in front of him.
Hearing the other's cry of pain, Wan Qijin was somewhat incredulous. Could this really be the little fox?
It's unbelievable that the little fox is so beautiful!
Wan Qijin's hand seals stopped unconsciously. He wanted to reach out his fingers to touch her to see if she was real.
"Ouch~"
Even though the girl was in so much pain that she couldn't open her eyes, judging from the contours of her face, she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat from the pain, soaking through her thin gauze. A few strands of wet hair hung by her ears, making her look pitiful.
"Ouch~"
"Be good, Xi'er, just bear with it."
Wan Qijin came to his senses and began to form hand seals to help Tu Shan Lingxi return the excess dragon energy to the dragon vein. The dragon energy seemed to have its own consciousness and knew that it had harmed the little fox.
It reluctantly ran off the little fox, nuzzled the little beauty's cheek, and was then directly drawn into the dragon vein by the magic array.
Gradually, Tu Shan Lingxi's form returned to normal, but she could no longer maintain her human form and transformed back into a fox.
...
"Aww—"
After a scream, the little fox finally returned to its original form: a small, white ball that could be easily held in someone's hand.
She let out two howls, feeling the lightness in her body, unlike before when she felt heavy and her body was being supported by abundant spiritual energy. Only then did she raise her head with some surprise.
"Awooooo~"
Okay, Tu Shan Lingxi knew that the Imperial Preceptor had saved her again. She had just been so childish as to hold a grudge against him, which was really inappropriate.
She shook off her soaking wet fur, propped herself up, and took a couple of unsteady steps before being scooped up by the man's large hand.
"Will you dare to do it again next time, hmm?"
Although Wan Qijin said this, his large hand was exceptionally gentle as he combed Tu Shan Lingxi's fur, little by little, making the little fox snore comfortably.
"Snoring~"
Tu Shan Lingxi wasn't entirely oblivious; she licked Wan Qijin's palm to express her gratitude, though she also felt a little guilty.
"Awoo awoo~"
The little fox was so busy begging for forgiveness that she didn't see at all the dark purple eyes that Wan Qijin's eyes gradually darkened as she licked his palm.
Wan Qijin couldn't describe the feeling. He only felt that from this moment on, his heart had changed, and something was quietly growing and sprouting.
But at this moment, Wan Qijin had no idea what this feeling was like.
All he knew was that he should treat the little fox better, pamper her more, and tell her not to think about others, and it would be even better if she only had eyes for him.
"Does it still hurt? You're still too young to withstand such dragon energy. Stay away from the king in the future. That man just now, Yin Changling, remember that?"
Wan Qijin tapped Tu Shan Lingxi's little nose, and was only satisfied when he saw her nod obediently.
He held the little fox in his arms and performed a cleaning spell on her. Touching the little fox's dry fur, Wan Qijin felt much more comfortable.
"Are you still hungry? Shall I ask Changfeng to make you two roast chickens to try?"
Wan Qijin thought to herself that the little fox was angry with her because of food, but she had indeed wronged her before. She was still a cub and needed to be taken good care of.
