Fierce Celestial King roared furiously, instantly bursting out with immense power. With just a swoosh, he entered the fox's body, and in an instant, the panicked fox calmed down, its blue eyes turning blood red.
"Fierce Celestial King, you actually managed to possess the fox's body!"
Yang Tian landed, his face dark and grim.
But soon, to Yang Tian's confusion, the fox in front of him suddenly trembled violently.
Shortly after, they saw the soul of Fierce Celestial King flying out of the fox's body.
Boom!
A loud booming sound erupted.
Uncertain if it was due to Fierce Celestial King's energy, the fox was blasted alive, falling to the ground groaning in pain.
"What's going on? Fierce Celestial King, weren't you going to possess the fox's body? Why did you suddenly retreat from the fox?"
Yang Tian's eyes were full of doubt.
In mid-air, Fierce Celestial King glanced at the fox on the ground, sternly stared at Yang Tian, his figure flashed, and he fled at top speed.
Yang Tian was about to chase after him, but at this moment, a cheer came from behind.
"Big brother, wait for me, let's defeat Fierce Celestial King together!"
Wang Yue, like a frenzied loli, came flying up like riding a dragon on the wind.
Bam!
There was a muffled sound as Wang Yue collided into Yang Tian's arms.
"Ouch, that hurts..."
Wang Yue painfully got up from the ground, but upon seeing the little fox groaning on the ground, she forgot all about her pain.
Her eyes lit up, "Wow, such a cute little fox, whose is it?"
She stopped chasing Fierce Celestial King, walked up, and picked up the injured little fox.
Yang Tian rolled his eyes. He originally wanted to chase and kill Fierce Celestial King, but getting hit by Wang Yue, he lost all interest.
"Yang, what's happening..."
Ling Ying and Wang Ying quickly caught up.
"Fierce Celestial King is severely injured and can no longer create chaos. Let's spare his life for now and deal with him once I find Wang Lingzhan!"
Yang Tian said.
"Hmm." Ling Ying nodded, but upon seeing Wang Yue holding an injured little fox nearby, she looked puzzled, "Xiaoyueyue, what's this?"
"I picked up this little fox from the ground; it's mine now."
Wang Yue said excitedly.
Yang Tian disagreed, "Yueyue, it's obvious this fox is wild, let it go."
"No way, it's injured. How could I let it go?"
Wang Yue shrieked loudly.
Yang Tian was speechless.
Seeing the little fox weak, barely breathing, he said nothing more and approached, using Divine Sense to inspect it, then said, "The fox is injured. Give it to me; I'll treat it."
"Hurry up then!"
Fearing the fox might die, Wang Yue hastily handed it to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian held the little fox, channeling Spiritual Breath into its body.
The little fox, originally feeble, gradually stabilized after absorbing Yang Tian's Spiritual Breath.
Soon, the fox opened its eyes, and those blue eyes reflected a grateful light.
Yang Tian's brow furrowed.
This little fox seemed to have Spiritual qualities.
Could it actually appreciate kindness?
"Big brother, give me back the little fox now!"
Seeing Yang Tian still holding the little fox, Wang Yue snatched it back with a slap.
Wang Yue's stubbornness flared up.
Yang Tian glanced at the fox in Wang Yue's arms, which lay quietly, eyes closed comfortably, sleeping peacefully. He shrugged, "Seems this little fox has taken a liking to you, so fine, take it with you, but don't lose it."
"Thanks, big brother…"
Wang Yue chuckled with glee.
"Let's head back!"
With that, Yang Tian gestured and led Wang Ying and the others back.
Along the way, the playful Wang Yue was quiet, simply holding the little fox.
But upon returning, Yang Tian noticed some patterns on a rock outside the village.
These patterns were indecipherable.
As if some creature had randomly stepped on it.
"Yang, what's this? I remember these stones didn't have any patterns when we came."
Ling Ying said.
"Indeed, when we entered the village, we rested here, and there were no patterns on these stones, so why are they here now?"
Wang Ying also asked curiously.
Yang Tian also looked puzzled, but he didn't dwell on it, directly channeling Spiritual Breath to erase the patterns on the stones.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it; let's head in."
Yang Tian waved his hand and stepped into the village.
"Benefactor, you're back?" As soon as Yang Tian returned, the village chief came out anxiously, "Benefactor, what about my son? How is he now?"
"That wasn't your son; it was an Evil Soul."
Yang Tian shook his head.
"Then where is my son?"
The village chief asked, his face pale.
"I don't know, possibly already in trouble."
Yang Tian answered truthfully.
Instantly, the village chief's face filled with panic and sorrow, he waved his hand, signaled others to attend to Yang Tian, and walked back to his wooden hut alone.
"Let's rest, and we'll leave the village for Changbai Mountain tomorrow."
Yang Tian guessed that Fierce Celestial King went to find Wang Lingzhan.
So he gave some instructions and let Wang Ying and the others rest.
The villagers, seeing Yang Tian's group of four resting, dared not disturb, quickly brought some dry rations, and left.
The surroundings were calm.
Yang Tian sat there quietly cultivating.
Ling Ying and Wang Ying didn't rest either, sitting there quietly cultivating.
Only that playful little Wang Yue couldn't hold on, hugging the little fox, fell asleep.
In fact, cultivation requires perseverance; with good perseverance, one becomes more energetic the more they cultivate, but without it, just like little Wang Yue, she was asleep before even beginning meditation.
It was late at night, and the village was unheard of quiet.
But at this moment, Yang Tian caught a whiff of fragrance.
This made Yang Tian open his eyes instantly, "Someone's here!"
Whoosh!
Yang Tian's figure flashed, heading downstairs.
The wooden house had two levels.
Yang Tian's group all rested on the second floor, yet downstairs, there was this fragrance, puzzling Yang Tian.
His figure flashed, descending to the first floor.
He was puzzled seeing the table, realizing the villagers' offered rabbit meat, wolf meat, and other provisions were all gone.
None of those rations had been eaten by Yang Tian's group, so how were they all gone?
"How comfortable..."
At this moment, Yang Tian heard a clean and lazy voice from the bathroom, his eyes held doubt: A woman here? Was the fragrance hers?
Whoosh!
Yang Tian flashed into the bathroom, seeing a girl soaking in a bucket.
She was a young girl.
Black hair, deep eyes, elegant nose, red lips, pearly white teeth.
She was an unparalleled beauty.
"Sir, I'm from the village. My home's bath was broken, so I came here for a bath. If I have offended you, please forgive me..."
The girl's voice sounded clearly.
Yang Tian frowned.
No flaw could be heard from her words.
Yet he still found this girl very suspicious.
The girl saw Yang Tian gazing coldly at her and didn't dare dawdle, wanting to get up and leave. But at this moment, Yang Tian suddenly shook, intensely watching the water surface.
There, he saw a fox's tail emerge from the water.
In an instant, Yang Tian realized, "You're not from the village, you're the little fox Xiaoyueyue brought back!"
