Chapter 75 - The Silver Fox Carries Eight
Among the Changming clan, Xianba is destined to be one who can govern both the upper and lower classes.
She was born between Ling Qi and Zhu Jiu, but she has been playing with them since she was a child.
The year the Silver Fox was born, several gold mines were discovered in the human world, and the major metallurgical and manufacturing industries experienced explosive growth. Many heirloom treasures and famous swords were produced in that year.
The silver fox is of the gold element, but its entire body radiates a light as flowing as the silver moon. Its fur is soft and fluffy, as if it is draped with moonlight.
In short, Silver Fox was a genius from birth. Ling Qi and Zhu Jiu were not as smart as her and could only follow behind her.
Although the Changming clan is supposed to lead the lower ranks, Xiao Ma is completely unable to lead her and will only be played around by Xian Ba.
Foxes are inherently a bit wicked. After discovering that the younger members of the Changming tribe were uninteresting and the older ones were difficult to deceive, she turned her alluring fox eyes toward the continent on the other side of the sea.
She had been to the human world, causing several commotions each time, and had even casually served as a courtesan a few times, enjoying watching the ugly spectacle of men fighting. Later, numerous anecdotes about fox spirits and strange tales circulated, such as scholars being deceived and princes having nightmares, all originating from her.
At that time, the mortal continent had already awakened many spiritual bones under the influence of spiritual energy, among which there were many with outstanding talents. A hierarchy above royalty and nobility began to emerge in the human world, and they had even formed a set of standards for judging the level of spiritual bones.
"What's with the distinction between heaven, earth, and man? It's quite amusing." Xianba brought it back to Weiyi as a joke, but he didn't see the growing worry in Weiyi's icy white eyes.
Looking at the ancestral stone, which had reached the ninth stage of its formation, all nine streams of spiritual energy had been expelled from it, leaving only a deep, endless black within its stone core. It was pure and singular, indicating that the ancestral stone might only have this one color left.
Once this darkness also flows out, the Ancestral Stone may fall into eternal silence.
Of these concerns, the only one that was not shared by the Eight Lecturers was the same.
"Don't take those men too far," the only sister said helplessly. "People are all vengeful."
The silver fox winked slyly, its eyes sparkling. "I'm not taking lives or money, how could I be going too far?"
She simply enjoyed observing the myriad aspects of human life, and whenever she went out, she liked to bring things back for her people. But Xianba also knew what was important; after they retreated into their spatial dimension, she never went back to the human world, spending time with her younger siblings as they grew up, which was just as enjoyable.
Who knew that they would actually face retaliation later?
Amidst the turbulent changes on the continent, the Crimson Cloud Sect rose to prominence, though at that time they did not yet possess a large number of Heavenly-grade Golden Spirit Bones. Xian Ba once passed through this prosperous land, and his brief stay ignited a fervent passion in a young master from the Wen family, who devoted himself to painting day and night.
Wen Changshan treated her "very well".
He never harmed her in the slightest, only used his blood to strengthen her. He would even draw her blood in a less painful way. Once, a disciple accidentally left a blood hole in her fur, and he immediately crippled his cultivation. When Wen Changshan's son accidentally plucked a single fox hair from her, he slapped him without any mercy.
Wen Changshan also collected rare and precious materials to nourish her body and counteract the damage caused by the loss of golden blood; he even went so far as to use his own golden bone cultivation to repair her, and was even willing to exhaust his own spiritual power.
Such deep affection allowed him to say, "Isn't my love for you enough?" with a clear conscience before being killed by Xianba.
She killed him without hesitation, without even feeling any pleasure. She was simply remembering a question the little bird had asked her long ago.
By then, the little bird had grown up a bit and had found the most important person in its life. Xianba was probably the one among them who understood emotions the most, so the fierce little bird asked her casually.
What is love?
Even Xianba doesn't know.
After experiencing love in the human world, she finally understood the answer.
It means I love you, and I respect you even more.
I saw you, and I also saw what was behind you.
It's to protect you, and also to protect your family.
Many years later, Jin Shi himself is being loved in this way.
That's how Miaomiao treated him.
