81: Chapter 81 Xiao Yuhan Takes the Youth-Preserving Pill! The Secrets of the White Fox Clan!

With a casual gesture, Wang Yang draped a clean white robe over himself, covering his lean, powerful muscles.

He was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he glanced at the small head peeking out from behind a large rock in the distance and sent a telepathic message directly:

“Xiao Wan, stop looking.”

“Go to the mountain gate and bring the little fox there to the Sect's main hall.”

In the distance, Lin Xiaowan, caught in the act of peeping, stuck out her tongue and transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, vanishing with a 'whoosh'.

Having sent his young Disciple away, Wang Yang turned his attention back to the notifications the System had just popped up.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host!]

[Completed Long-term Quest: Spreading the Family Tree (Phase One)!]

[Condition Met: Successfully formed a Dao Companion bond with a female cultivator!]

[Rewards Obtained: god-level beauty preservation pill x 2, Top-grade Defensive Magic Treasure [Flowing Cloud Water Sleeves] x 1!]

Wang Yang felt a surge of joy.

He would give one Beauty Preservation Pill to Xiao Yuhan, who had just performed a great service, and keep the other for now; it might come in handy in the future.

He turned around and looked at Xiao Yuhan, who was still slumped by the pool, her skin flushed a tempting pink. With a flick of his wrist, a Medicinal Pill emitting a strange halo and a shimmering Magic Treasure appeared in his palm.

“Han'er, open your mouth.”

Xiao Yuhan was currently in a state of mental blankness. Hearing Wang Yang's command, she subconsciously parted her red lips slightly.

Gulp.

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth, turning into a cool yet powerful medicinal force that instantly swept through her entire body.

Immediately after, a miraculous scene unfolded!

Buzz—!

Xiao Yuhan's already extraordinary features were now undergoing subtle adjustments once again!

It wasn't a drastic change like plastic surgery, but rather an ultimate optimization.

The last trace of fatigue at the corners of her eyes vanished, and her skin became even fairer and more delicate than a baby's, as if it could yield water with a gentle pinch.

Even more astonishing was her figure!

Her already impressive chest, nourished by the medicinal power, actually filled out another size at a visible rate, becoming even more perky and rounded!

Her slender waist became even thinner and more supple, forming an even more exaggerated and seductive S-curve with her wide hips!

[Ding! Member Xiao Yuhan has consumed a god-level beauty preservation pill!]

[Appearance Rating Increased: 96 → 98 (Peerless Stunner, the finest in the mortal realm)!]

[Acquired Trait: Eternal Youth (Time can no longer leave any marks upon her body)!]

Feeling the changes in her body, Xiao Yuhan quickly condensed an ice mirror to take a look.

“This... is this me at eighteen? No, even more beautiful than eighteen!”

She touched her burning cheeks, her words incoherent with excitement.

The appearance anxiety that had plagued her for a hundred years completely vanished at this moment!

“Thank you for the pill, Revered Master!”

Ignoring her body's soreness, Xiao Yuhan struggled to perform a formal bow, but Wang Yang caught her.

“That's enough, why be so formal with your Revered Master?”

“This is the [Flowing Cloud Water Sleeves], a top-grade defensive Magic Treasure. It happens to suit your ice-element Cultivation Technique.”

Wang Yang draped the treasure, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, over her. Then he opened his arms with a mischievous grin:

“Since you're awake, attend to your Revered Master as he dresses.”

“Let's go see what the deal is with that new little fox.”

Xiao Yuhan's face flushed slightly as she obediently stood up, gently helping Wang Yang arrange his clothes and tie his belt.

At this moment, she didn't have even a hint of the coldness of a former Righteous Path Alliance envoy; she was entirely a small woman lost in love.

...

A moment later, in the Sect's main hall.

Wang Yang sat regally on the Sect Master's throne. Though Xiao Yuhan's legs were still a bit weak, she forced herself to stand by his side, regaining a trace of the majesty of a Nascent Soul expert.

In the center of the hall.

Lin Xiaowan led the white-haired, fox-eared girl inside.

“Disciple Bai Linger pays respects to Sect Master Wang!”

The girl knelt on the ground, her voice trembling. Her furry fox ears drooped due to nervousness, making her look pitifully endearing.

Wang Yang scanned her attributes.

[Name: Bai Linger]

[Race: Yao Race (Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline · Unawakened)]

[Cultivation: First Level Demon King (Equivalent to Golden Core Early Stage)]

[Appearance Rating: 98]

“Rise and speak,” Wang Yang said calmly. “You say you are of the Yao Race's White Fox Clan? Why have you come to a Human Race Sect seeking protection?”

Bai Linger looked up, her pink eyes brimming with tears:

“Reporting to the Sect Master, the Yao Race within the Hundred Thousand Mountains is not a single faction. The Black Tiger Demon Emperor wants to force my mother into marriage and has besieged my White Fox Clan for a long time. My clan can only barely hold on by relying on our Ancestral Protection Array.”

“This time I snuck out of the protection barrier to play, but I didn't expect to be caught by those three Demon Sovereigns. They likely intended to present me to the Black Tiger Demon Emperor to force my mother's hand!”

“The Sect Master saved me that day, and seeing the Sect Master's matchless Divine Might, I thought you might be able to resolve my clan's crisis. That is why I have been so bold as to come and seek apprenticeship.”

Hearing the name 'Black Tiger Demon Emperor', Wang Yang and Xiao Yuhan exchanged a glance.

It seemed this was the boss of that tiger he had crushed earlier?

At this point, Xiao Yuhan, standing to the side, suddenly spoke.

She sized up Bai Linger, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes:

“You are of the White Fox Clan?”

“From what I know, this clan is extremely special.”

Bai Linger was startled and looked at Xiao Yuhan: “This sister knows of us?”

Xiao Yuhan nodded and explained to Wang Yang:

“Revered Master, while I was reviewing ancient records in the Righteous Path Alliance, I saw accounts concerning this clan.”

“The White Fox Clan is an extremely rare branch among the Yao Race.”

“In their clan, there are only females, no males.”

“What?”

Wang Yang raised an eyebrow. “Only females? Then how do they reproduce?”

Xiao Yuhan continued with a strange expression:

“Although they can intermarry and reproduce with males of other races, the offspring is inevitably a daughter.”

“But that isn't the most unusual part.”

“The most unusual part is... they also possess a secret technique that allows for self-reproduction!”

“By taking a drop of heart's blood and nourishing it with their own demon core, they can conceive an offspring with an identical Bloodline and even the exact same appearance as themselves!”

Saying this, Xiao Yuhan looked at Bai Linger:

“If I'm not mistaken, you... were conceived by your mother using this secret technique, weren't you?”

Bai Linger's whole body shook, and she looked at Xiao Yuhan in shock:

“Sister... how did you know?”

“It's true... I have no father. I was conceived from my mother's heart's blood, so I look... almost exactly like her.”

Hearing this, Wang Yang's gaze instantly became profound.

Only females? Self-reproduction? Looking exactly the same?

Hiss—!

A vision of 'Big and Little White Foxes' in the same frame instantly appeared in Wang Yang's mind. The impact of that...

However, what interested him more was the System's prompt.

White Fox Clan? Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline!

Heh, this group of silly foxes actually didn't know that the blood of the ancient Divine Beast [Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox] flowed within them!

A meaningful smile curled at the corner of Wang Yang's mouth.

“I see.”

“Bai Linger, I shall ask you this.”

“Are you willing to join my Hehuan Sect and become my... fourth Personal Disciple?”

Hearing this, Bai Linger was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed:

“This Disciple is willing! I am willing!”

“As long as the Sect Master can save my mother and the White Fox Clan, Linger... Linger is willing to do anything!”

“Linger pays respects to Revered Master!”

Wang Yang nodded with satisfaction.
