28: Chapter 28 I'll make you call me daddy.

Above the forest, a handsome man appeared out of nowhere.

The man wore a gold-patterned white robe and stood in the air. The pure white fox tail behind him and the fluffy ears on his head all spoke of his identity.

The white-robed man's figure flashed, appearing instantly before the Beguiling Demon King.

"El...der..."

The Beguiling Demon King's voice trembled, her face full of respect.

The man didn't even spare her a glance. His gaze fell directly on Su Su, revealing a gentle smile as he said softly:

"Princess, is it time for us to go home?"

"Prin...cess?!"

The Beguiling Demon King's face instantly turned ashen, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

"Im...possible, how could she be the Princess..."

"The color on her body isn't even pure white; at most, she's just a lucky wild fox..."

Su Su ignored the two of them. Instead, she bypassed the man and ran urgently to Su Mo's side.

"Wu... Bro...ther..."

Su Su kept rubbing her head against Su Mo's dry nose, her voice carrying a sob, tears wetting the fur on her face.

Su Mo opened his heavy eyelids and used the last of his strength to rub against the little one's face:

"Good girl... don't cry... I'm just tired... I'll be fine... after a sleep."

His voice was so weak it was almost inaudible. The blood flowing out soaked the only white fur on his chest, staining it a blood-red even more vivid than the red fur on the rest of his body.

"To think he could grow to this extent without a Bloodline!"

Seeing this, a flash of surprise crossed the white-robed man's eyes.

"Save... him..."

Su Su turned her head and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"The Princess is indeed a case of Bloodline Atavism. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is truly extraordinary, able to speak human tongue at the Second Rank!"

The white-robed man praised from the heart and began to sense Su Mo's injuries.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh.

Hearing him sigh, Su Mo knew.

It's over!

Sure enough, the white-robed man's next sentence confirmed his suspicion.

"Princess, he is beyond saving."

"His injuries are too severe, and his Divine Soul has mostly dissipated. He can speak to you now only because his extremely powerful physique is holding him up."

"Unless... there is the legendary Ninth-grade Medicinal Pill—the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill."

Hearing this, Su Su shook her head desperately, her claws tightly clutching the fur near Su Mo's mouth.

"No... no..."

Su Mo had also expected this.

Damn it! That skanky fox was too devious!

I need to be more cautious in my next life... "This... Senior, you are..."

The white-robed man said regretfully:

"I am the Twelfth Elder of the Qingqiu Fox Clan in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu."

"A pity..."

"If only I could have found you earlier, my Qingqiu Fox Clan would have gained another fierce general."

Having said that, he seemed to remember something and said resentfully:

"It's all that wild brat's fault. The next time I see him, I'll skin him alive!"

Su Mo guessed who Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu was talking about, and he also felt a bit annoyed.

What kind of parents would throw their child out into the freezing wilderness!

If I had been born into the Qingqiu Fox Clan, I would have been a prince at the very least!

With countless resources to feed me, maybe I would have directly attained the supreme Dao in this life.

"May I ask... Senior Lonely Swan... what is the name of that wild brat you mentioned?"

"Crimson Radiance! That wild brat abducted our clan's Princess..."

Hearing this, Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu's white robe fluttered without wind, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Crimson Radiance... I'll remember that..."

"I was unlucky enough to be your son this time. Wait until next time, I'll beat you until you call me dad!"

After saying so much, he had exhausted quite a bit of strength.

Su Mo felt the surge of terminal lucidity was about to pass. His vision began to blur, and his breathing became difficult.

"Sen... Senior, Su Su... I... entrust her to you. Also... that... Blue-horned Deer... please... help save it too."

"As for... that... Old Turtle... you can do as you see fit. Taking him back... as a pet wouldn't be bad either."

Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu looked at this scene with a complex expression:

"Rest assured, Qingqiu is the Princess's home. If anyone wants to harm the Princess, they'll have to step over my corpse first."

"That's good..."

"If you don't treat her well, I will settle the score with all of you one by one in the future."

Then, Su Mo looked at Su Su before him.

He summoned a bowl of white porridge onto a relatively clean leaf in front of him.

"Su Su... when this bowl of porridge... spoils... I'll be... back..."

Su Mo's voice grew fainter and fainter. Finally, his breath dissipated, leaving only the steaming white porridge on the green leaf.

Su Su buried her head in Su Mo's fur, her exposed body shaking uncontrollably.

Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu sighed softly. With a wave of his hand, he put away Su Mo's massive body and the white porridge on the ground. Holding Su Su's curled-up body, he turned and stood before the Beguiling Demon King.

"After being expelled from Qingqiu, you actually dared to attempt to harm the Princess. You deserve to die!"

Just as Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu was about to strike the fox demon dead with a palm, Su Su suddenly raised her head in his arms.

"I... want... to... kill... her... my... self!"

Each word was spat out from her mouth. Though the voice was soft, it carried an unprecedented killing intent.

Seeing this, Lonely Swan of Qing Qiu waved his hand and struck a golden light into the Beguiling Demon King's body.

This golden light was a Restriction that could sense her location and prevented her from leaving the range of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

The Beguiling Demon King fled as if granted a grand amnesty, scrambling away without even daring to look back... After Su Mo's breath dissipated, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, his consciousness constantly sinking, and no matter how he struggled, it was in vain.

Whether it was a day or a year, light finally appeared before his eyes.

Coming to his senses, his feet had landed on solid ground. He looked around.

He found that this was a cramped room, about twenty square meters, without doors, windows, or light sources, yet it was very bright.

The only things present were two roulette wheels covered in pitch-black question marks.

"Does Reincarnation require a transit stop?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the System's synthesized electronic voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! In view of the host's first Reincarnation and first death,]

[The host is specially rewarded with one Solidification opportunity.]

Then, the light screen in front of him changed into a personal panel.

[Host: Su Mo]

[Race: Human (Soul State)]

[Rank: None]

[Skill: Infinite White Porridge (Never Expires) (Solidifiable)]

[Talent: Savage Growth (Solidifiable)]

[Solidification Opportunity: 1 (Please use before Reincarnation, otherwise it will dissipate on its own)]

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then pleasantly surprised.

He had thought that since he had only lived for over three months, he wouldn't even reach the survival time needed to gain a Solidification.

He didn't expect the System to be quite humane, actually rewarding him with one.

However, after the surprise, he felt a bit conflicted.

Both [Infinite White Porridge] and [Savage Growth] were quite powerful.

One could guarantee his safety and development in the early stage, but would be somewhat weak in the Late Stage.

The other was a definite late-bloomer, but the disadvantage was that after growing to a certain extent, the physique would be very conspicuous, and it also required constant consumption of high-energy items.

It was also passively uncontrollable, which wasn't conducive to his goal of keeping a low profile.

"System, I choose to solidify [Infinite White Porridge]!"

After hesitating again and again, Su Mo made his decision.

[Ding! Solidification successful.]

[Infinite White Porridge (Never Expires) has been successfully bound.]

[Can be used permanently and will not disappear with Reincarnation.]

[Talent: Savage Growth has dissipated.]
