After fighting for half an hour, the fox woman began to beg for mercy:
"Please, Immortal Master, spare us!"
"You know you were wrong?"
"My daughter knows she was wrong!"
Ajiang summoned back the Windwing Tiger and looked at the fox-clan beauty kneeling on the ground.
She was no longer as composed as before; her hair was disheveled, her hairpin was nowhere to be found, and her already thin clothes had been torn in several pieces.
Xiao Songjing silently looked away.
In fact, foxes are not good at fighting; their advantage lies in their beauty and wisdom. This fox clearly doesn't have much wisdom, so it lost this time.
"Tell me about your background."
"This servant doesn't remember very clearly either. I was saved by Fairy Peach when I was a child, and then I started cultivating here."
"I just have a fondness for handsome men, so I often invite them. I have never harmed anyone."
"Just who exactly is the Fairy Peach Goddess?"
The fox hesitated, unsure whether to tell the stranger in front of him his story.
[They are also cultivators; what if one of them intends to harm Her Majesty?]
However, Your Highness is upright and honorable, a respectable senior among the demon race, and I do not wish for Your Highness to be misunderstood.
"The Empress usually cultivates diligently in that lush peach grove. She also takes on disciples, whether they are mortals or demons, and teaches them with great care. If any demon or human in distress asks her for help, she will not hesitate to lend a hand. She is a senior with profound cultivation."
Based on her experience in the city and what the shopkeeper said, she felt that the fox demon was not lying.
But there is still one concern.
Ajahn pulled the girl next to him aside and asked the fox demon:
"Do you know what's going on? Why can a single immortal peach bring the dead back to life and even reverse aging? In all the immortal cultivation pills I know, there's nothing like this."
The fox demon looked at the girl carefully and asked her why.
He said, "No wonder there have been some strange things happening at Immortal Peach Mountain lately. It turns out you ate the Empress's incarnation."
"Is a peach an external manifestation?"
Even if that's the case, how did that mortal obtain it?
"On Peach Blossom Mountain, many mortals and demons live. I have also heard of Qingqing, whom he mentioned. She is a favorite disciple of the goddess. She seems to have a special affection for Feilian. I guess it was she who helped Feilian steal that avatar that was still in the process of being conceived."
After hearing this, A-Jiang felt that this Peach Fairy was a very powerful demon cultivator, and that it was better not to meddle with her meager abilities.
"In that case, there's no need to go to Immortal Peach Mountain anymore. I'm sure she can handle these problems herself."
Xiao Songjing nodded: "The Heavenly Centipede Ship won't stay long. Since there's nothing else, let's go back as soon as possible."
A-Jiang looked at him and laughed, "You've already eaten a meal and you think you can just leave?"
Xiao Songjing said in a very serious tone:
"Although she forced me to come, you've helped me get revenge, so I won't pursue the matter further!"
Ajahn didn't tease him too much, after all, he looked just like his master, so he had a natural fear of him.
The two then prepared to leave.
"Hey, what about me? Why isn't anyone asking me? I just came out to watch the fun, and I haven't even had a bite yet!"
The little black tortoise was not satisfied.
Come to think of it, Li Zhangshi, who had just eaten the peach, was standing there, looking bewildered and at a loss.
A-Jiang looked at her and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I?"
Can I come with you?
A-Jiang frowned slightly but did not speak.
“I really don’t want to stay here any longer. I keep thinking about things that make me very upset. Let me stay with you. I can serve you tea and water and be your maid.”
Although she was a wealthy old lady who had never done anything like serving tea or water before, times have changed, and she is willing to do anything to leave this place.
Looking at her, A Jiang couldn't help but recall her own experience in the Bai family. Back then, she also desperately wanted to leave the Bai family, and was even willing to become the lowest-ranking handyman disciple in the Qinglian Sect.
"Okay, you can follow me first, and then settle down when you feel comfortable."
Xiao Songjing also said, "Since A-Jiang has agreed, we can take you with us, but you can't cause us any trouble on the way."
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely behave myself."
"Since you're leaving here to start a new life, why not choose a new name?"
The girl's eyes lit up.
"New name."
"What should I call myself? Zhang... Li... Oh, no, I want to choose a name of my own, a completely new name."
The girl scratched her head, both excited and annoyed.
She never imagined that she, nearing the end of her life, would one day have such a day, choosing a new name and starting a new life.
"Why not take Tao as our surname?"
The fox spirit offered a suggestion from the side.
"Peach? That's fine too."
"Tao Sheng, Tao Hua, Tao Ling'er..."
"A graceful woman with flowing hair, beautiful in appearance and eloquent in speech."
"How about calling her Tao Pianpian?"
"It's a good name!"
"Alright, from now on I'll be called Tao Pianpian! Pianpian greets you!"
Everyone present smiled.
After retrieving the Xuan Turtle, A Jiang said to the fox demon, "I see that you are not surrounded by evil aura, so you should not be a very wicked person. I will not hold it against you this time, but you must not act like this again in the future. If you are burdened with karmic obstacles, it will be too late to regret it."
The fox demon bowed and accepted.
Ah Jiang looked at her again, feeling a little regretful.
Although this fox demon can transform into human form, her cultivation is too poor, and at her age, it's impossible for her to make any breakthroughs. It's not appropriate for me to take her as a summoned beast, so I gave up on that plan.
