Shen Wangshu silently moved a little further away from Ling'er.
The fox immediately became smug, its large tail sweeping back and forth across Shen Wangshu's face.
"The sect knows about your relationship with Yue Xizhi." Shen Wangshu was right. Without Xiwu Daojun and Lingxiao Daozun interfering, the relationship between Yue Xizhi and Ling'er developed rapidly and was not hidden. All the disciples in the sect knew about the relationship between these two famous disciples.
Shen Wangshu smiled, noticing Ling'er staring at him blankly, as if worried he might chop her in half with a single blow. Without even looking up, he continued, "The Demon Sect Master has a daughter who is quite fond of Yue Xizhi. Who do you think he would prefer?"
Ling'er genuinely loved Yue Xizhi, and upon hearing this, she showed a pained expression.
If she were still with Daoist Xiwu and hadn't broken off the engagement, even if Yue Xizhi and the Demon Sect Master's daughter had developed feelings for each other, she would only blame Daoist Xiwu for delaying her. She would believe that Yue Xizhi only fell for someone else because he didn't want to steal another man's fiancée.
But she and Yue Xizhi were deeply in love when Yue Xizhi's pity for the daughter of the Demon Sect leader caused her unbearable pain. She felt extremely distressed, as if the man she wanted had been taken away, and a sense of resentment arose in her heart, tears streaming down her face.
"Since Yue Xizhi has been disgraced, you won't have to marry that Nascent Soul cultivator as a cultivation vessel. You can choose between the two," Shen Wangshu said coldly.
In her past life, Ling'er drugged Daoist Xiwu, ruining his reputation. In this life, she wants to see just how resolute Ling'er's love for Yue Xizhi truly is.
Whether it's better to be yourself or to follow Yue Xizhi, you can choose.
"I...I don't know," Ling'er said through gritted teeth in a low voice.
But her eyes flickered, clearly indicating that she was already interested, which immediately made the two foxes in the cave laugh disdainfully.
"Humans are hypocrites!" Little Black said bluntly.
Unable to speak, Xiao Xuan whimpered and rubbed against Chen Wangshu's cheek, indicating that she was very scared.
Helplessly, Shen Wangshu hugged the timid fox who was trying to force a "I'm so scared" expression on its furry face. She felt like she had raised a little tyrant. Seeing the fox happily burying its little head in her neck and secretly licking it, she suppressed the strange look on her face and looked at Ling'er, who was blushing, and chuckled, "If you don't know, you can go and be the furnace."
She flicked a beam of spiritual light towards the girl, which instantly entered her brow. A small restriction flashed across her brow, and she said gently to Ling'er, who was trembling with fear, "If you dare to utter a single word about these two foxes, you will be annihilated, body and soul."
Ling'er was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, staring in terror at the nonchalant Shen Wangshu.
"Go out." Shen Wangshu raised his chin slightly.
The fact that she was allowed to leave safely was clearly a great favor. Ling'er shakily got up and couldn't help but glance at Daoist Xiwu.
Xi Wu Daojun ignored her pleading eyes and enthusiastically combed Xiao Hei's hair with a small dark green comb.
"What are you doing?" Shen Wangshu asked, squinting and looking displeased.
Because Xiao Xuan saw Xi Wu Dao Jun combing Xiao Hei's hair, he was so envious that he put his furry paws into his mouth, and his eyes were glistening with tears.
He's been in human form for so long, and Shushu has never combed his hair.
"Combing your fur," said Daoist Xiwu with a smile.
He was completely focused on Xiao Hei and couldn't see anyone else. Ling'er finally realized that she no longer had a place in his heart. She cried out and ran away unsteadily.
Ling'er ran off just like that, and Xiao Hei looked very satisfied.
She snorted, turned her head as if to say something, but suddenly her expression changed.
Xi Wu Daojun felt a lightness on his knees, and in the blink of an eye, the woman with black hair and black eyes disappeared, and a dazed black fox appeared on his knees as usual.
A small, dark green comb was stuck on the fox's little head.
"Pfft... Sorry, sorry, actually you look especially beautiful like this." Daoist Xiwu burst out laughing, only to have his arm bitten by the squeaking black fox. He quickly suppressed his laughter and begged for mercy.
His attitude was very sincere, and he even swore that he would definitely refine more elixirs for the fox. Only then did Little Black angrily let go of his mouth and snuggle into his arms, barking fiercely and ordering him to continue grooming it. Only then did it put its little head on its two little paws and pretend to sleep. When it turned back into a fox, it didn't act as desperately as Little Xuan.
After all, it's not exactly the crucial moment for dual cultivation.
"How could you let her escape?" Xi Wu Daojun is usually very gentle with women, but he can be quite ruthless when it matters.
He didn't care at all about Ling'er's previous offenses, but after she discovered Xiao Hei's affair, he wanted to kill her with a single blow.
Shen Wangshu couldn't tell whether this guy was ruthless or just being chivalrous.
“I only said I would save her from the fire and not let her marry this Nascent Soul cultivator, but I didn’t say I would stand up for her in the future.”
As for Ling'er's family, they first offered her to Daoist Xiwu, and then gave her to another Nascent Soul cultivator as a cultivation vessel, showing absolutely no affection. Even if this one doesn't work out, can't they find more? Then Ling'er will know how difficult it is for Daoist Xiwu to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. But Shen Wangshu had no pity for Ling'er, and with a snort, slowly said, "I want to see what it means to scatter like birds when disaster strikes."
Was her love for Yue Xizhi true?
She then clearly saw just how far this true love had gone.
Xi Wu Daojun was dispensable, since Shen Wangshu had placed a restriction on Ling'er, so there was no need to worry about Ling'er revealing Xiao Hei's identity. He nodded slightly.
