Chapter 262: From now on, I will be at the command of the Fox King
"Zi Yu, why did you bring back a human cultivator?" A voice with a bit of majesty and reverberation came from the valley.
Under the pressure of the eighth-level monster, all the low-level foxes present were shocked, and they let out a low cry and bowed their heads towards the valley.
Bai Lan was also affected by the pressure. To be precise, this pressure was directed at her, so her expression was a little ugly at the moment.
"Mom, this matter is complicated. In short, she was once a member of the fox clan. Later, she stole the body of a human cultivator by mistake, and luckily she survived."
"Oh?"
The next moment, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in front of Bai Lan. A red light flashed in the other party's pupils. Bai Lan felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to look him in the eye.
A strong sense of oppression and hostility.
It was completely different from the conversation with the Nascent Soul cultivator. The other party really wanted to kill her if they had a disagreement.
The pressure from the eighth-level monster was comparable to that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. She was attacked by the merciless spiritual pressure, and she could only rely on the Wuxiang Gong to keep herself conscious and to reload the game in critical moments.
It can only ensure that the state of consciousness is not completely fixed, but not even a word can be uttered.
"Are you a fox from the Sky Fox clan? Why do you have the aura of a cultivator?" The Fox King spoke lightly, and the look he gave Bai Lan was very similar to the angry but forbearing expression he had when he saw his daughter bringing back a yellow-haired ghost fire creature.
The other party didn't sound like he was asking a question. The tone of his voice made it seem like Bai Lan could just die after he finished speaking.
After walking with Bai Lan for several days, Zi Yu had already become familiar with her. Thinking of the favor of saving the fox before, when she saw Bai Lan's face turn pale, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the fox king's sleeve, telling her everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "Mother, this is what happened..."
Seeing that Ziyu's words were unusually secretive, the Fox King suddenly said calmly: "It seems that you like her very much."
"Well, that's not the case, haha." Zi Yu said embarrassedly, not daring to say another word.
The Fox King's expression remained unchanged, but he withdrew his pressure and looked at Zi Yu: "We will discuss your matter later. Go to the spirit tree to practice first. From now on, I will send two sixth-level demon foxes to protect you closely. In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of Fuli Valley again before your strength advances to the fifth level."
"But she..." Zi Yu wanted to say something else.
The Fox King said nothing, but waved his sleeves, grabbed Bai Lan's collar and brought her into the valley.
Zi Yu had already told the Fox King the story made up by Bai Lan in vivid detail. The Fox King didn't know whether Bai Lan believed it or not, but he did not kill her immediately. It was obvious that he believed it to some extent, but only to some extent.
Bai Lan was captured by the Fox King and brought into a secret room with solid walls. There seemed to be a formation set up around it, like an altar... The Fox King did not do anything at this moment, but just stared at Bai Lan with no less hostility in his eyes.
"Is there anything that can prove your identity?" The Fox King said calmly.
"I, I vaguely remember that I was ordered by the previous generation of Fox King to go out and search for the trace of the Soul-Nourishing Tree. It seemed to be for... for..." Bai Lan stuttered, pretending to have a headache and looking painful for a moment.
The Fox King frowned: "For what?"
"In order to take care of the old ancestor's soul." Bai Lan uttered a few words with difficulty.
Bai Lan seemed to remember something and spoke slowly. His tone sounded like a recollection, but in fact he began to make up a story.
The fox clan has Long Aotian’s harem, and of course, Bai Ling’s harem. Although that harem is just a distraction and has no killing power, it can bring considerable benefits to Bai Ling.
Long Aotian’s harem can be roughly divided into those who have slept with or not slept with, while Bai Ling’s harem can be divided into those who love or not love or have loved before.
For example, people like Le Qing, Xiao Tianqi, Yunyang, the old demon, just don't love, but Bai Ling will say to them: You are a good person.
For example, Bai Ling certainly loves the fragment of the fox ancestor's spirit that remains in the boundless sea.
Because this clone has a handsome appearance, comparable to a banished immortal, and his personality is the cold and aloof type that Bai Ling loves. In essence, he is still a fox and has a charming attribute.
Moreover, this soul has a great origin. The split spirit is the soul of a ninth-order ancestor of the fox clan, a human cultivator at the stage of Divine Transformation.
Thousands of years ago, his soul was scattered due to failure in overcoming the calamity, and the only remaining trace of his spirit fell into the boundless sea and disappeared without a trace.
Although the remaining remnant soul has lost most of the fox ancestor's memory, the remnant soul of the ninth-level ancestor is still very useful even if only one-tenth of it remains.
Its function is almost equivalent to the old man in the Spirit Transformation Stage on Long Aotian's body, but Bai Ling needs to wait until she reaches the Core Formation Stage to get it.
In order to retrieve the soul of his ancestor, the previous generation Fox King went to the boundless sea in person to search for it, but unfortunately he died along the way.
“It’s just that the Soul-Nourishing Wood is too rare. I spent decades searching for it and finally found it in an auction house. However, a cultivator from the Human Race got there first and bought it. I wanted to kill him, but I didn’t expect that he was so cunning. He looked like a Jindan cultivator, but in fact, he was a Yuanying cultivator who had hidden his cultivation. Unfortunately, he captured me alive…”
When Bai Lan said this, his expression became more sad and angry.
"There is a saying in the human race that it is better to die in glory than to live in dishonor. I did not want to become a cultivator's pet, and wanted to commit suicide, but it tore my soul away and sealed it into the spirit of the artifact."
"The human race is so hateful." A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Fox King.
Even though she didn't know Bai Lan, she still became angry when she heard about her experience.
"But I have not forgotten what the previous Fox King entrusted me with. The Soul-Nourishing Wood is of utmost importance and must not be forgotten. Thinking of this, I suppressed my resentment, endured the humiliation, and hid myself."
The Fox King was slightly moved.
Bai Lan said, tears welling up in his eyes: "Finally one day, I got the chance to escape from the clutches of this man when he was seriously injured."
The Fox King thought about this and nodded secretly.
In case the previous fox king found the soul of the ancestor and needed to use a soul-nourishing wood to nourish it, it seems reasonable.
Therefore, it is even more reasonable for the previous Fox King to order people to look for the Soul-Nourishing Tree in advance.
So the excuse Bai Lan made was perfect.
"So that's how it is." The Fox King narrowed his eyes, his mood gradually calmed down, and his hostility seemed to slowly fade away.
"Fox King, I have failed to live up to the trust of the previous Fox King. Not only did I fail to find the Soul-Nourishing Tree, I also lost my physical body and my identity as a fox. I, I am ashamed..." Bai Lan's face was filled with regret.
"Don't say that. Human monks are cunning. It was extremely difficult for you to go treasure hunting alone. You are lucky to escape and return this time." The Fox King shook his head slowly.
Bai Lan was moved. Yes, yes, human monks are really cunning.
"What's more, although you have lost your fox body, you have obtained a human body. You are even a disciple of Qingyuan Sect, one of the five major sects. You can sneak into the human race without any effort. If you operate properly, you will be of great use in the future." The Fox King smiled and patted Bai Lan on the shoulder, as if he had completely accepted her.
Yes, it only took a little effort to search the soul and sneak into the fox clan. If it is operated properly, in the future... hehehe.
Bai Lan's expression flashed, and he resolutely expressed his loyalty: "I will be at the command of the Fox King in the future!"
After becoming the confidant of the Fox King, you will have the opportunity to enter the forbidden area of the fox clan, and then you will be able to seize the opportunity of Long Aotian first.
