254: It really has a tail

Lake Heart Island.

She Xiaorong was almost furious when she heard that Daocheng and Dao Ping had spent ten thousand Spirit Stones to buy a fox spirit.

However, she couldn't easily reproach them since it was an act of filial piety towards Liu Xuan...

Having just glanced at Hu Lingzhao a few times, she had to admit that she was indeed dazzlingly beautiful, naturally possessing a charm that even made her, a woman, feel moved.

Based on her understanding of Liu Xuan, he would definitely not let go of a beauty of this level, especially since she was a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator.

Once this woman became pregnant, or even broke through to Foundation Establishment with Liu Xuan's help, her status might even surpass her own.

"Lingyu, you are responsible for taking her to your father at the Sect. Remember, do not be rude to her, but do not untie the Spirit Binding Rope early either." She Xiaorong pondered for a moment before instructing the delicate-looking young woman beside her.

"Lingyu understands!"

Lingyu was the eldest daughter of Luo Ruoyan from the Yongning Luo family, sixteenth in the line of succession. Having no Spiritual Root, she remained on the island to learn Merchant Alliance affairs from She Xiaorong.

Lingyu led several Merchant Alliance retainers, obtained permission to use a black crow flying boat, and flew towards the Sect with Hu Lingzhao and a large quantity of spiritual materials.

...

Red Pine Sect.

West Courtyard.

After listening to his daughter Lingyu's account, Liu Xuan looked at Hu Lingzhao, who stood nearby with exquisite features, a graceful figure, and natural allure.

A fox spirit? What an attractive pair of eyes! Liu Xuan subconsciously looked behind her, wondering if there was a fluffy tail hidden under her clothes?

Hu Lingzhao's expression was full of vigilance, like a startled little fox, and with her hands bound by the Spirit Binding Rope, her appeal was maxed out!

"My sons have become sensible! They know how to show filial piety to their father."

"Ah!"

"Since it is an act of filial piety from my sons, as a father, it wouldn't be right to let them down, would it?"

After dismissing the Merchant Alliance personnel and his daughter Lingyu, Liu Xuan untied the Spirit Binding Rope on her hands and asked with concern:

"Miss Lingzhao has suffered. Who made you like this? Your husband will definitely help you take revenge!"

Hu Lingzhao tried to pull her hands away several times but failed. Fortunately, Liu Xuan made no excessive moves, only chatting with her about her background.

Seeing that Liu Xuan truly had no intention of harming her, she slowly relaxed her mind and told him about her experiences.

It turned out she was from the 'Phantom Spirit Sect,' a Golden Core Sect under the Peach Blossom Sect. Her mother was a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Sect and possessed half fox-demon Bloodline.

She had outstanding talent, a Fourth-grade Spiritual Root, and had also inherited part of her mother's fox-demon Bloodline, with a cultivation speed comparable to a Third-grade Spirit Root. She was one of the most talented Disciples in the Sect.

Under normal circumstances, she would likely have reached Foundation Establishment, and if she had awakened her fox-demon innate abilities, her combat power would have been thirty percent stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Alas! The arrival of the Snow Wolf clan changed everything. The Sect was branded as rebels, her parents were slaughtered by the wolf demons, and she had escaped by chance, though she was severely injured.

Subsequently, she was targeted by border Robber Cultivators and sold as a Cauldron to the White Crane Lake marketplace.

"Fellow Daoist Liu! As long as you can help me take revenge, I am willing to be your slave or maid, I will agree to anything!"

Hu Lingzhao's eyes were filled with hatred, the scene of her parents' bloodied bodies appearing in her mind.

"Agree to anything! Then... would you be willing to bear me a child?"

"What?" Hu Lingzhao thought she had misheard.

"I said, if you marry me and bear me children, I will help you get your revenge, how about that?"

Liu Xuan said solemnly: "However, I can only help you within my capabilities. Whether you succeed or not depends on yourself!"

Was everything Hu Lingzhao said true? Did she have other motives?

Liu Xuan didn't care about any of that; as long as the person herself was real, that was enough!

Who cares if she is true or false? Let's have a child first!

"Okay!"

Hu Lingzhao nodded vigorously!

Anyway, she was just a Cauldron bought by Liu Xuan; being able to get such a promise was already a gain.

"Miss Lingzhao is indeed straightforward!"

"We shall be married tonight!"

Liu Xuan summoned Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang (Younger Twin), instructing them to prepare for the wedding to take place that night.

...

Night.

Bedroom.

Hu Lingzhao's Dantian mana gradually recovered, nourishing her Physical Body, making her appear even more flawless.

"Lingzhao, so you really do have a tail!"

Liu Xuan reached out to touch it, and the fiery red, fluffy tail instantly turned into a wisp of Demonic Qi and retracted into her body.

"I possess one-quarter fox-demon Bloodline and can transform into a half-demon form, which gives me stronger combat power!" Hu Lingzhao explained in a low voice.

"Then bring it out again. Your husband likes novel things."

Lingzhao bit her red lips gently and said shyly: "The tail is a sensitive spot for our fox clan, so Husband, please be gentle."

"Don't worry! Your husband is most considerate of the fairer sex..."

...

...

Three days later.

Liu Xuan seemed to have found a new toy and doted on Hu Lingzhao, which made Zi Ling extremely dissatisfied and insist on joining in.

Hu Lingzhao only naturally possessed a sense of charm; in terms of looks alone, she was actually slightly inferior to Zi Ling and Su Wan.

Once the novelty wore off, Liu Xuan still treated her as an ordinary Concubine.

However, with Liu Xuan's help, the little fox spirit's accumulation reached Perfection, and she felt she could attempt to go into seclusion to Breakthrough.

After much consideration, Liu Xuan finally rewarded her with a foundation establishment pill and even let her choose a second-tier Cultivation Chamber in the West Courtyard for her seclusion.

If Hu Lingzhao could break through to Foundation Establishment, Liu Xuan would gain another Foundation Establishment Cultivator under his command, and the children they had in the future would also have higher talent.

As long as any woman tasted the sweetness of following Liu Xuan, she would never be able to escape his grasp, so why not do it?

...

One month later.

Hu Lingzhao was still in seclusion, but the Red Pine Sect welcomed an important visitor.

Shen Yunshu! A Late Golden Core Stage Sword Cultivator, and one of the Personal Disciples of the Heavenly Sword True Monarch, one of the four Sword Holders of the Sword Pavilion, and the owner of the third-tier top-grade Magic Treasure, the Flying Feather Sword.

After briefly checking Xiao Changfeng's memories, Liu Xuan panicked a little!

This person was a top-tier bigwig even in the Heavenly Sword Sect; even the Xiao Changfeng at his peak couldn't beat her.

Although using the Star Array would certainly handle it, if it really came to that, he would be exposed and unable to continue developing quietly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it has been many years, and your elegance is even greater than before!" Liu Xuan possessed Xiao Changfeng and spoke in his former tone.

"Senior Brother Changfeng is too kind!"

Shen Yunshu looked at Xiao Changfeng with a complex expression, "If Senior Brother hadn't been injured back then..."

"Let's not talk about that. Yunshu has come this time to discuss something with Senior Brother, and I hope Senior Brother will consider it carefully."

Shen Yunshu was a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator, yet she was still willing to call Xiao Changfeng 'Senior Brother'; she shouldn't be trying to harm him, right?

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and smiled: "Please speak, Yunshu!"

"Then I will be direct!"

"I want Red Pine City," she pointed to the direction of Red Pine City across the river below.

Red Pine City?

It was just a city with a second-tier Spiritual Vein, how could it possibly make Shen Yunshu come to find Xiao Changfeng in person?

Liu Xuan frowned slightly. I'm afraid wanting Red Pine City is fake, and wanting his Red Pine Sect is what's real!

For a person like Shen Yunshu, only the Red Pine Sect held any value to her!
