114: Encountering a Fox

"Revered Master?"

Shen Jinhuan stepped forward to investigate. All four Qi Refining Realm Cultivators were dead.

The wounds were uniform; all had been bitten in vital areas by wild beasts.

The cultivation world was like this: one moment, a person was vibrant and alive; the next, they could suddenly turn to dust.

She looked at Jiang Ning, seeking his opinion.

Jiang Ning swept his Divine Sense around, then pointed eastward, "Let's go."

There was nothing to fear.

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he wasn't afraid even if the Silver Moon Snow Fox was at its peak.

He led the young girl for a while.

More bodies appeared in the snowdrifts, also Disciples Su Rao had brought earlier in the day.

Jiang Ning estimated that Su Rao had gone up the mountain to check on the Silver Moon Snow Fox's status and ended up being hunted.

Further on, several blood-red plum blossoms bloomed on the snow.

Shen Jinhuan wanted to step forward.

But Jiang Ning held her back.

She looked at Jiang Ning in confusion.

Jiang Ning waved his hand, and the accumulated snow on the ground dissipated, revealing a person who had fainted from weakness.

"Ah!"

Shen Jinhuan exclaimed, "It's Su Rao!"

"Mm."

Jiang Ning swept his Divine Sense over her. Su Rao wasn't dead yet. Judging by her wounds, she must have escaped from the fox's maw, but her aura was now weak.

If she froze any longer, once her Spiritual Qi was depleted, she would freeze to death here.

"Revered Master, should we save her?"

"Save her!"

Jiang Ning initially thought of putting Su Rao into his Small World, but then remembered that if Su Rao was still conscious, wouldn't he be exposed?

So, he took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and poured one out.

He placed it in Su Rao's mouth.

"Done."

Only then did Jiang Ning put Su Rao into his Small World.

With this Medicinal Pill, if he didn't give her an antidote, Su Rao wouldn't wake up for ten days.

Saving Su Rao was, on one hand, because of the "warm jade" she had given them earlier, which showed that Su Rao was not as frivolous as she seemed; her nature was kind.

Of course, on the other hand, and most importantly,

Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan needed to enter Yaoguang Immortal Palace.

Although possessing a jade token allowed entry to the Ascension Assembly, this was one of the Three Great Factions with several Nascent Soul Cultivators overseeing it.

Shen Jinhuan was fine; her terrifying Qi Refining Realm strength could be explained by her talent.

But what about him? As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, if he were to be detected by a Sect's secret treasure, and his identity exposed, he would face the siege and hunt of the Tiance Military Prefecture.

If they could enter Yaoguang Immortal Palace directly through Su Rao, it would be the perfect path.

He held Shen Jinhuan's hand and continued up the mountain.

Shen Jinhuan asked, "Revered Master, aren't we going back?"

"We are."

Jiang Ning looked at the vast white snow, "Since we've come this far, let's first resolve the matter of the Silver Moon Snow Fox cubs for you."

He would resolve the battle quickly.

It wouldn't matter if Su Rao was delayed a bit longer.

They reached halfway up the mountain.

Further up was the "private territory" of Yaoguang Immortal Palace.

Jiang Ning took out a map and headed east, entering the Silver Moon Snow Fox's territory.

Not far away,

Several white foxes saw him and Shen Jinhuan, moving nimbly through the snow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ning was not afraid in the slightest, acting as if he hadn't seen them, and continued forward.

In less than fifteen minutes,

Several Qi Refining Realm white foxes surrounded Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan.

Jiang Ning tightened his grip on the young girl's hand.

He let out a "Hmph."

The white foxes immediately felt a splitting headache, and even their minds became muddled.

They staggered a few steps, then collapsed limply onto the ground.

Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan walked up to one of the white foxes.

He communicated with his Divine Sense.

"Take me to your king."

The white fox let out a "woo woo" warning sound, clearly unwilling to cooperate.

Jiang Ning sighed.

Sure enough.

He would have to find it himself.

Suddenly, the area darkened, and a full moon hung high in the sky.

The bright moonlight shone on the snow, emitting dazzling rays.

Jiang Ning covered Shen Jinhuan's eyes.

He, meanwhile, squinted at the full moon in the sky.

On the grayish-white jade-like disk, a black fox shadow appeared, then the shadow transformed into a woman's figure, which then manifested before the full moon.

"Silver Moon Snow Fox."

Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

Shen Jinhuan, hearing him, also looked up.

It was a figure of unparalleled beauty.

Snow-white long hair, a full chest, a slender waist and ample hips, long graceful legs revealed through the slit of a white robe embroidered with plum blossoms, and a pair of pristine bare feet.

Both her figure and appearance were enough to drive men mad.

But she wasn't entirely "human."

This jade-like figure had a pair of white ears on her head, and behind her, a snow-white fox tail.

This not only didn't detract from her beauty but also added a touch of wildness.

The Silver Moon Snow Fox opened her beautiful eyes.

She looked down from above at the two figures below.

She extended her right hand and gently held it up.

The moon, like a jade disk, was actually "lifted" by her!

"Go!"

A syllable, like a divine sound, leaped out.

The moon crashed towards Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan!

Jiang Ning smiled.

The next second,

He also held up the moon with one hand!

"Such strong Mental Energy! If a regular Golden Core Cultivator were caught off guard by this attack, their Divine Sense would be damaged!"

"Hmph~"

The Silver Moon Snow Fox snorted in displeasure, her voice seductive, with a teasing, queen-like tone.

Jiang Ning chuckled.

Like throwing a shot put, he threw the moon back.

"Here, take it back!"

The Silver Moon Snow Fox watched the moon she had thrown rapidly grow larger in her eyes!

She was inwardly surprised.

She was already at Golden Core Perfection, yet this young man had effortlessly dissolved her attack and returned it!

As she thought, the giant full moon had already reached her face.

The graceful Silver Moon Snow Fox turned, and her jade leg whipped the moon, completely shattering it!

Immediately after,

She covered the distance in a few steps, appearing before Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan.

Her snow-white jade feet stepped on the white snow, complementing each other.

Skin like snow, that described the Silver Moon Snow Fox perfectly.

The Silver Moon Snow Fox scoffed in displeasure.

She crossed her arms, making her cleavage even deeper.

"Human, with your strength, you wouldn't be interested in fox cubs. State your purpose."

Jiang Ning looked at the proud figure of the Silver Moon Snow Fox.

He was startled internally.

Not because of the Silver Moon Snow Fox's figure or appearance, but because of her Realm.

This Silver Moon Snow Fox had already reached the Golden Core Perfection Realm.

A third-grade Realm, although she couldn't fully transform, reaching this stage was enough to show her outstanding talent!

It was laughable that the Cultivators of Cold City still thought she had dropped in Realm because she was giving birth to cubs.

She hadn't dropped in Realm at all; she had clearly made further progress!

This was entirely false information released by the fox clan, all for the purpose of hunting the Human Race!

Jiang Ning said with a smile:

"I merely seek a young fox for my Disciple."

The Silver Moon Snow Fox looked at Shen Jinhuan.

She was surprised.

"A Body Cultivator?"

The Silver Moon Snow Fox laughed, "Body Cultivators are not common among humans, but I will not allow my kin to be used as cultivation resources by you.

Go ahead and act. If you kill me, you can still use my blood to temper your Disciple's body."

"I only want a young fox."

"If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to kill, then kill."

The Silver Moon Snow Fox's attitude was firm.

Jiang Ning had a bit of a headache.

However, since she could communicate, there was an opportunity.

"You're hunting humans, so you must have your own purpose. Why don't you tell me your purpose? Perhaps we can reach a deal?"

"Oh?"

The Silver Moon Snow Fox said with a smile, "I heard that Yaoguang Immortal Palace obtained a Nascent Soul Tribulation Pill in the Cang Ling Domain. Go and seize it for me. Then, let alone one, even ten..."

"This?"

Jiang Ning pulled out a Medicinal Pill.

He had found this in Zhao Ting's Storage Ring.

The Silver Moon Snow Fox was speechless.

No... I was just saying, you actually have one!
