These sounds came from all directions, and the smile on Xiwu Daojun's face faded. He lowered his eyes and stroked the black fox in his arms. Only from this fox did he feel a slight warmth.
The Guangming Sect leader's face showed even more wrinkles, and he sighed softly, as if he was disappointed in his fellow disciples.
The higher-level cultivators considered things more carefully, but those outside, seeing Shen Wangshu defeat the lower-level disciples of the Demon Sect Master, erupted in cheers.
The sound also made the cultivators in the hall look uneasy.
With Shen Wangshu making such a splash in the sect, who else would the disciples of Guangming Sect care about in the future? They'd probably all think of Lingxiao Daozun. This outcome was very displeasing to them, and their faces showed strange expressions. They saw that the woman in the sky completely ignored the overwhelming cheers and instead landed in the main hall in the blink of an eye.
Her clothes still looked neat and tidy, as if she had never fought a great battle with the Demon Sect Master. The spirit sword had been sheathed again, and what she was holding in her hands was a smug fox that looked around without any enemies.
Xiao Xuan fought alongside Shen Wangshu, earning the admiration of everyone, and was extremely proud.
It held its little head high, sitting upright on Shen Wangshu's hand, looking like it was the only one who mattered.
The black fox was furious when it saw it showing off like this, and it swung its furry paws and squeaked.
Xiao Xuan glanced disdainfully at the fox with no status, then turned his head away, pretending not to see it.
Shen Wangshu smiled and kissed its ear.
During her battle with the Demon Sect Master, her mind was blank, but the warm, furry sensation on her shoulder reminded her that she was not alone.
There was always a fox walking beside her, no matter where she was or what she was facing. Thinking of the peace of mind she felt then, she smiled at Xiao Xuan. Seeing it twist its little head unsatisfiedly, close its eyes, and pout its furry mouth to come closer, she chuckled. Not minding the furry little thing, she kissed its mouth and rubbed its wet nose.
The fox was so happy it almost fainted, its tail wagging like a whirlwind.
Its two fox eyes gleamed; if there weren't so many people around, it would be a must to cultivate together!
After such a thrilling battle, how perfect it would be to cultivate together!
The fox felt that every moment was actually quite suitable for dual cultivation.
Although it was just a fluffy ball of fur right now, it felt its body was boiling with excitement from the fierce battle just now, and it couldn't help but curl up its tail to cover the little bit of excitement under its belly.
However, although the fox's tail blocked others, Shen Wangshu could feel the change in its belly, and her expression immediately changed. She looked at the shameless fox with twitching lips, seeing it shyly and innocently trembling its ears, covering its furry face with its two paws, and looking at her timidly from behind its small furry paws. It looked pitiful, yet cunning, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing that she wasn't angry, the fox wriggled and rubbed its belly against Shen Wangshu's palm.
Shen Wangshu began rubbing the corner of his eye with one hand.
"Thank you for today's ordeal, Junior Sister." The sect leader of Guangming Sect was clearly unaware of the fox's strong desire to at least help it with its hands if they couldn't cultivate together, and walked over to thank her in a daze.
Shen Wangshu covered the fox completely with its large tail with one hand, while nodding slightly to his senior brother, the headmaster.
The fox thought it could play some tricks, but who knew the old man was so annoying? It immediately glared at him angrily.
The sect leader of Guangming Sect was hated by the "Spirit Fox," and looked utterly bewildered and pitiful.
This person is genuinely confused, not pretending like a fox.
"Today is the last time." Shen Wangshu's gaze swept over his silent, complacent fellow disciples, his expression unchanged, and he said calmly to the old man before him, "We are even."
The sect leader of Guangming Sect was surprised for a moment, then revealed a faint sense of relief. A faint smile appeared on his aged face as he nodded gently and said softly, "We are even." He looked at Shen Wangshu with loving eyes for a long time, but did not try to persuade him to stay.
"Replenish your lifespan." As long as a cultivator hasn't become an immortal, life isn't endless. Even the legendary Mahayana cultivators, who are said to have inexhaustible lifespans, actually have an end.
The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is far shorter than that of a Deity Transformation cultivator. The sect leader of Guangming Sect had just suffered considerable losses. Shen Wangshu had no objection to this old man who was wholeheartedly protecting the sect. She flicked her finger and tossed a longevity-restoring pill into the old man's mouth. Seeing him smack his lips, she smiled. She nodded slightly to Daoist Xiwu, then, without even glancing at her fellow disciples, her feet shimmering with spiritual light, she once again flew into the most conspicuous clear sky above Guangming Sect.
The fighting had just ended, and the sky was cloudless, making Shen Wangshu's figure exceptionally clear.
All the disciples looked in her direction.
However, her words caused an uproar throughout the entire sect.
"From this day forward, I, Lingxiao, break free from the sect and am no longer a disciple of Guangming Sect." The woman's clear, cold voice echoed endlessly in the air. Although it was a very faint sound, it reached the ears of every fellow disciple. While the disciples' eyes showed fear and panic at the loss of their backer, Shen Wangshu remained unmoved.
Looking at the sect for which Lingxiao had given everything, she felt calm and said indifferently, "From now on, I owe Guangming Sect nothing and have no further connection with them!" These words were a declaration to the entire cultivation world that she would no longer care about the fate of Guangming Sect.
She paused, looked tenderly at the fluffy little ball of fur that was nodding repeatedly, and smiled slightly.
"Would you be willing to stand with me in front of others?" she asked softly.
Xiao Xuan is her Daoist partner. Even though it is a demon, and even though she will be criticized by cultivators all over the world, she is no longer willing to hide her relationship with it.
She wanted to be with Xiao Xuan openly and honestly, not as some kind of ghostly master and spirit beast.
It can be that the fox is perched on her shoulder, but she still has to let people know that the fox perched on her shoulder is her husband.
The fox stared at her blankly for a long time, its round eyes glistening with bright tears.
A flash of white light, and Shen Wangshu felt a pair of long, warm arms encircle her from behind. A warm body pressed tightly against her back.
His cheeks were slightly cool as he nestled against her, and a satisfied sigh escaped his lips in her ear.
"Shushu".
"My Daoist companion, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox." Shen Wangshu took a deep breath and smiled.
The world was in uproar.
