34 Little foxes decision (1/2)
As Shadow saw the body parts shatter into tiny pieces she could only sigh. ”What a mess we have made here.”
”Then what should we do?” The rabbit who was basking in his previous victory turned around to face Shadow and asked.
”Well, no harm done so long as the beast core remains… That is all we really need right now. I will place the bodies in storage until we find a use for the leftover parts.” Shadow responded and then turned towards the little fox who had just defeated the wolf.
”Umm… Thanks for the help I guess? Who are you?” The little fox looked somewhat surprised to see that it was actually just a deer and rabbit who were weaker than her in terms of cultivation had saved her from a terrible situation.
”No need for thanks. You did warn us of those pests coming so I figured I could lend you a hand.” Shadow smiled towards the little fox looking very cheerful and innocent, if others saw her they may not believe that she killed any of those wolves.
”Right, you look like you have had a long day. I know of a place if you wish to clean your bodies.” The little fox quickly thought of something to repay them as she saw their appearance.
The rabbit was covered in blood,shadow remained untouched by the blood during combat but still had a little blood on her back that had come from the rabbit sitting on her back.
”Fine lead the way.” Shadow nodded as she gestured for the fox to go ahead.
As the three of them reached the water, a small pile of fish were still there so the fox hurried to count them to see if any went missing before sighing with relief.
”I'm guessing this is your place?” Shadow figured that the little fox must have been here previously before encountering the wolves.
”Mm… I use this place to catch fish for my mom.” The little fox dipped her body into the water and began to wash herself.
”I see.” Shadow looked a little conflicted as she joined her. 'This girl is a fox, I would be a little less cautious towards her but with the black fox family may be a future danger. Although she is not a black fox, I have not seen whether they have any children with brown fur. Could this be the fox who is as talented as my bro and sis? But she does not seem so bad, I guess I could help her this once.'
As she made a decision she gave an injury pill to the little fox before heading back up to the mountain.
Mother foxes cave
After returning home to greet her mother, the little fox did her best to look as pitiful and cute as possible to avoid being scolded.
