Chapter 284 - Entering the Fire Cloud Cave For The First Time, The Snow Fox Questions Her True Feelings (1/2)
When the fox girl left the Immortal Du Sect, her eyes were still filled with some confusion.
Li Changshou looked at the vixen’s back and weighed the consequences of the matter in his heart. He thought about what else he could do.
Karma was something that could not be severed. It would definitely cause chaos and cause trouble in the future.
Yes, I should sever my karma with the vixen. Although my methods are a little too extreme, it is still better than letting this matter continue developing.
The Qing Qiu Clan…
Li Changshou had actually seen the records of that clan in ancient books. They had been quite famous since ancient times.
They were a group of demons who were more romantic. They did not fight or vie with each other. They only wanted to write romantic and moving stories.
It was undoubtedly because… there were many mighty figures in the Primordial World. Only the wanderers would leave their names.
The Qing Qiu Clan should not be related to the three demons in the Xuanyuan Tomb. There are so many fox demons in the world. It can’t be that simple.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and thought about the problem that he had been thinking about previously.
The Xuanyuan Tomb was a tomb built by the descendants of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan after he returned to the Fire Cloud Cave. It was once occupied by the demons during the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. According to the G.o.d-Conferment story that Li Changshou knew, when the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation began, G.o.ddess Nuwa felt offended by the Emperor of Shang, so she used the Demon-Sealing Banner to gather all the demons. In the end, she chose the three demons in the Xuanyuan Tomb— the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Lute Spirit, and the Nine-Headed Chicken Spirit. She dispersed King Zhou of Shang’s energy and made the Shang Nation collapse faster.
The nine-tailed demon fox had possessed the body of the daughter of the Ji Prefecture’s Marquis Su, Su Daji. She had written a cla.s.sic love story with Di Xin, which was ‘The Only Favored Concubine In The Harem’… Ahem, they had caused so many “good ministers” in the Shang Nation to be implicated, leaving behind endless infamy in the future!
So, what’s the name of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the story?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and could not help but laugh.
It would be a waste of effort to think about that. Even if he found the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in advance, he would not be able to do anything, nor would he do anything. It was something that had nothing to do with him.
I should think about how I should communicate with the big shots when I meet the ancestors of the human race in the Fire Cloud Cave later. I should also ask about the whereabouts of the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.
Li Changshou’s ‘main body’ paper effigy stood in front of the mountain gate and watched the demons fly away.
On the Little Qiong Peak, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect had already dispersed. In the next few days, there would be various conflicts between Dao companions in the mountain.
In order to stabilize the atmosphere in the sect, Li Changshou had already sent a voice transmission to Jiu Wu, asking him to spread the news within the sect.
For example…
If the elders in the sect were to encounter a question like “Did you get together with me back then because of the loneliness of cultivation?”, they would use a formatted answer.
“I, I didn’t miss you because I was lonely when we were apart. I only felt lonely because I missed you.”
Li Changshou did not dare to guarantee if it would be useful, but it was better than stammering and not knowing how to deal with the questions…
In the straw hut, Jiang Lin’er did not expose the ident.i.ty. She discussed with Jiu Wu, Jiu s.h.i.+, and Jiu Jiu about whether she was lonely or loved.
Finally, Jiang Lin’er was afraid that Li Changshou would expose himself. She took the initiative to ask Qi Yuan to go back and calm down. After thinking about it for a few hours, she left the Little Qiong Peak with the Jiu Immortals.
Li Changshou opened the outer layer isolation array and heaved a sigh of relief while sitting on the meditation cus.h.i.+on. Ling’e, who was at the side, muttered to herself. Her face was filled with seriousness.
Why did she see the expression that her senior brother often had, on her master’s face?
Li Changshou scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and carefully sensed with his spiritual senses. Then, he restored his paper effigy to its paper effigy form and shouted, “Help me put away this paper effigy.”
Ling’e blinked and pondered for a while. She understood what had happened.
“Senior Brother, you helped Master reject such a beautiful wife. Will Master blame you? That vixen just now is quite infatuated with him!”
Li Changshou’s voice sounded from the paper effigy. “Nonsense. How can you call her Master’s wife? How much karma is this? Master has never seen her before! Copy the Steadiness Sutra three hundred times.”
“Oh.” Ling’e grimaced and quickly put the paper effigy away into her sleeve pouch.
As soon as she put away the paper effigy, Li Changshou flew back to the Little Qiong Peak from the sect.
Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed in front of Ling’e’s straw hut. He sat on his personal round chair and continued to think about the possible problems that might happen in the future.
Man proposes, G.o.d disposes…
“Senior Brother…”
Ling’e moved her little head over from the side. There was a solemn expression on her pretty face. She was less than a foot away from Li Changshou’s face.
“Huh?”
Ling’e blushed, but she said seriously, “I’m not lonely at all! I will copy the Steadiness Sutra three hundred more times. In total, I will copy it six hundred times. I will accept it myself!” Then, she smiled smugly and looked at her senior brother provocatively.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
I haven’t dealt with her in three years and she’s gotten so smug!
At that moment, the immortal power barrier around his master’s straw hut was retracted by Li Changshou. The door of the straw hut was immediately pulled open.
A beautiful woman ran out with a horsetail whisk and shouted angrily, “You traitor! Come here!”
Li Changshou quickly pointed at his master and activated the multi-layered isolation array that had been added after the renovation of the Little Qiong Peak.
With a “peng” sound, the beautiful woman transformed into Qi Yuan’s appearance. She was angry and her beard was trembling. She raised her horsetail whisk and rushed in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou pulled Ling’e and skillfully… hid behind his junior sister.
“Master, I have settled the matter!”
“What did you settle?” Qi Yuan glared and scolded, “Don’t give your loyalty to loneliness? Where did you learn these twisted logic from!?!”
“It’s all because you taught me well, Master.”
Li Changshou laughed and hurriedly said, “Master, I was just dealing with the root cause of the problem and severing her thoughts.”
Qi Yuan said angrily, “If you had done anything wrong, just admit it. Can’t you give her an explanation and compensate her?” “Master, this matter cannot be resolved just by compensating. It will only become more chaotic. Moreover, I did not do anything to her. There was nothing to apologize for. She was just thinking too much… Master, don’t be angry. It will hurt your liver, ahem, your Dao base, it will hurt your Dao base.” “Today, I will!”
Qi Yuan raised his horsetail whisk and was about to hit Li Changshou. Li Changshou used Ling’e as the axis and dodged using the method of the Qin Emperor circling the pillar. Ling’e could not help but laugh continuously.
Suddenly, Li Changshou thought of Jiu Yus.h.i.+ and Xiong Lingli who were in the straw hut next door. He thought for a while and decided to help his master.
“Ah!”
Li Changshou’s feet swayed and he immediately collapsed outside the door.
The old Daoist priest, Qi Yuan, raised his horsetail whisk and rushed forward. He whipped Li Changshou’s b.u.t.tocks that he had been hitting since Li Changshou was young. He even lectured, “You have to be upright and kind! How did I teach you!?!” Ling’e covered her mouth and chuckled. Based on her observation, her Senior Brother was still a paper effigy. Naturally, she would not feel the pinch. However, Ling’e also thought of Little Aunt-Master Yu s.h.i.+, who had come to the lake with her. She immediately understood something
She cleared her throat and pounced forward. She spread her hands open and faced Qi Yuan.
“Master, if you want to hit me, hit me!”
Qi Yuan could not bring his horsetail whisk down. He stayed still for a few moments and could only sigh.
“Ah! Forget it! Changshou, you have to remember that no matter how capable you are, you can’t be arrogant. No matter how powerful your mystical abilities are, you can’t be arrogant! The demons are not kind either. Don’t get too involved with them!”
Crack!
Li Changshou, who was lying on the ground, pressed his palms together above his head. “I will follow Master’s instructions!”
