Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain Chapter 804 - Fox

Chapter 804: Fox

w.a.n.g Lu and the Nine-Tailed Fox wandered one after another on the wasteland. The Fox, who was famous for her cunning and quick-witted, followed w.a.n.g Lu from two positions behind him, showing great respect in every move.

However, it didn’t take long for the fox girl to keep up with this deference posture. Due to boredom, the fox girl slackened and her steps turned to jumps, and her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked around. Not long after, the fox girl bounced around w.a.n.g Lu in a circle and asked him while doing it.

“Where are we going? Right now the situation in Nine Regions should be very critical, is it okay to take such a slow walk?”

“…”

Seeing that w.a.n.g Lu didn’t pay attention to her, the fox girl pursed her lips slightly, snorted and ran a bit far away to tease the little monsters in the wasteland. After a while, the fox girl looked back at w.a.n.g Lu and then stood on tiptoe when she saw that he was in a trance…

As a result, the next moment, an icy-cold gaze was cast over her and she was unable to move.

The Nine-Tailed Fox reluctantly returned to w.a.n.g Lu and continued to be bored in her journey with him.

After a long time, the fox girl couldn’t stand the silence anymore and initiated a new topic of conversation, “… By the way, you were really cunning.”

w.a.n.g Lu glanced at the fox girl.

“I’m seriously complimenting you. The word cunning is a first-cla.s.s commendatory term for us Foxes. If it’s me, being asked to do that kind of thing as the last wish of that pervert Poxu, I would not dare to refuse. That old pervert Poxu’s fierce name in the Immortal World is very scary. He was very temperamental, when he said he had a fall out with somebody, he immediately became hostile to that person. You can see that he didn’t even hesitate to take out the chest of his childhood friend Xia Xiaohe. If you dare to refuse him, perhaps he would use his own death to curse you. However, if I were to be trained by that guy, it would feel worse than death… Therefore, I am very convinced that you can turn the tables successfully in that situation.”

w.a.n.g Lu didn’t want to talk about that topic so he gave her a cold hump to warn her to shut up.

However, once the curiosity of the Nine-Tailed Fox was raised, it was very difficult for her to calm down. The fox girl giggled and laughed, and then abruptly put her hands on her hips and imitated w.a.n.g Lu’s voice at that time and said, “Senior Immortal Poxu, I can agree to the training, but the specific method needs to be changed.”

The fox girl then turned around and imitated Senior Immortal Poxu and said, “How do you want to change it?”

“The training is possible, but we need to change our position, so I’m the one who is going to train you.”

“… What did you say?”

“Senior Immortal, you’ve been very good at training all your life and you have countless colorful and exquisite collections, but you have never been trained before, right?”

“Indeed I haven’t.”

“Have you ever been curious about what it’s like to be trained? I guess you have, but you have never met a master who can make you willingly devote yourself. But I’m different. I’m good at it even. Although I can’t agree with some of your ideas, I can at least understand you.”

“…”

“Senior Immortal, your life will not be long. With your current physical condition, I’m afraid that even if you do your best, you will not be able to complete the perfect training and transformation. In that case, why not let go of this obsession and have a brand new experience at the last moment of your life?”

“Are you really willing to do it…?”

“Senior Immortal has removed a strong enemy from Nine Regions and saved the common people. As the number one person in Nine Regions, I have an obligation and I’m willing to send you on your last journey.”

With a solemn look on her face, the fox girl imitated w.a.n.g Lu’s manner at that time. Then she took out a bright black whip and several candles of various thickness from her big furry tails behind her.

The fox girl smiled and waved the whip. “Senior Immortal, let us begin…”

Seeing this, w.a.n.g Lu finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Wait a minute! I don’t remember doing that scene! And where did you get the whip and the candles?”

Seeing that w.a.n.g Lu was finally willing to talk to her, the fox girl chuckled and threw the whip and the candles aside. She then hopped over and said, “I didn’t see the end, so I just made it up. In the end, you and Senior Immortal Poxu went to some unknown place and did ‘this and that’ kind of thing, while I waited at the original place anxiously.”

“You don’t need to know the things that you shouldn’t know.” w.a.n.g Lu’s expression was gloomy and he didn’t want to mention a word about what happened at that time.

Although being a trainer was better than being trained, it was not a history worth showing off.

“Don’t be so cold, tell me what you did to him. I’m really curious. How about you tell me and I warm your bed for you?”

w.a.n.g Lu sneered and said, “That’s enough, fox. Do you think jesting like this will make me let you off?”

“Er… You don’t really want to kill me, do you?” The Nine Tailed Fox immediately put on a pitiful appearance and said, “I-I didn’t want to do it. At that time, I was forced by Poxu to make a move against Feng Yin. Moreover, I didn’t kill him, he, the old man, is still alive and well…”

“You know what I’m talking about.”

“…Do you mean Feng Ling?” The Nine Tailed Fox finally couldn’t laugh, “Do you want me to restore Feng Ling’s appearance?”

w.a.n.g Lu didn’t speak, but turned around and looked at her seriously.

“It’s not impossible for me to revert back to Feng Ling, I still retain her memory and personality. But, that means death to me.” The fox girl said, and then spread out her nine fluffy tails into a fan, each of it lingered with an astonis.h.i.+ng intense energy. “I don’t want to die. Regardless of whoever asks for it or why, I don’t want to die. If you want me to die, then come and kill me yourself.”

w.a.n.g Lu didn’t make his move.

Of course, he could kill her. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox was an Immortal Beast, w.a.n.g Lu now was the number one person in Nine Regions and whose enemy was the Fallen Immortal. Thus, it was easy for him to kill her. Moreover, he also could easily reproduce the magical seal that Feng Yin once used but had to spend a huge price for it in the past.

However, w.a.n.g Lu still didn’t do it.

Because someone was stopping him.

In w.a.n.g Lu’s eyes, there was a small figure of a girl in the Nine-Tailed Fox body. That girl was shaking her head hard at him, signaling that she didn’t want him to do it.

“You don’t want me to kill her? Because she’s a good person at heart? Are you crazy?”

“You insist on this? Feng Ling, this is the first time I know that you can be this soft-hearted. This is about your life, don’t let your ‘Holy Mother’ illness flare up at this time, ok?

“… s.h.i.+t, can you speak more sense? What do you mean by I have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds? Do you take me for a universal make a wish machine?”

“Yes-yes, I have created many miracles, but impossible things are impossible. You and she have one body and one soul, so there’s no way to separate the two of you without killing the other one. Otherwise, do you think I can’t think of a way to put a soul into a puppet?”

“… You want to wait until the technology allows it to happen? Who knows how long it will take? What if it’s tens of thousands of years later? The blue colored cat from the future that I told you back then is a fairy tale, not a historical record!”

In an instant, w.a.n.g Lu had a long conversation with the little voice in the fox girl’s body.

However, he was still unable to convince the other party. That Feng Ling was extremely unreasonable in this matter. And w.a.n.g Lu didn’t intend to forcefully disobey her wish. Feng Ling had a different temperament from the others. She was very unyielding, so rather than provoking her anger, it was better to just ignore her.

“Fine, whatever you wish.”

Finally, w.a.n.g Lu gave up his plan to persuade Feng Ling. After he ended the conversation, w.a.n.g Lu looked up and saw the Nine-Tailed Fox.

“Indeed a fox, you’re really cunning.”

After the fox was awakened by Poxu, she didn’t rush to crush Feng Ling, who had occupied her for more than a hundred years. Instead, she kept her memory and personality independently, which was obviously left for him.

In addition, Feng Ling’s strange insistence must have been influenced by the fox. She probably had been quietly communicating with Feng Ling before. With graceful words, flowery speech, she persuaded Feng Ling to protect her life. This was not difficult. Although Feng Ling was stubborn and hard-headed, she was essentially a kind-hearted girl. Thus, it was normal for her to be cheated by the fox.

But what was really rare was that all this happened during the time when the fox followed Senior Immortal Poxu. She was standing on two boats at the same time since the beginning, and it really did save her life… And this was really cunning.

The Nine Tailed Fox grinned and said, “Thank you for not killing me. In return, I will stand by your side to help you with all my strength in the next battle!”

“Nonsense, you betrayed the Immortal World, so you have no choice but to stand with us. Do you think you can afford not helping us with all your strength?”

“Hey, don’t be so blunt like that… Anyway, what do you want me to do next?”

w.a.n.g Lu pondered for a while and was about to open his mouth when his body suddenly shook. He raised his head to look into the distance.

“It’s really troublesome. They actually pick this time… But no matter. Fox, there’s something I need you to do. Go to Area 51, take two teams of Zaku with you, and then go straight toward the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals’ Heavenly Sage Hall in the Central Region, and beat all the people who quarrel there.”

The Nine-Tailed Fox blinked her eyes and asked, “Everyone?”

“Everyone. If anyone dares to speak out, do it. If anyone resists by force, I authorize you to kill that person on the spot.”

“Even if it’s Supreme Hetu?”

“Even the Elders of Heavenly Sword Hall. Those who dare to add fuel to the fire at this time should be dealt with quickly and decisively.”

In the last sentence, w.a.n.g Lu’s anger was obvious.

Just a moment ago he received the news. Just as w.a.n.g Wu was lost in the crack in the sky and the Senior Gem Emperor led an emergency rescue, a conflict broke out between the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Earth Immortals in Shengjing Sect in the Central Region. A group of idiots completely ignored the severity of the current situation and scolded each other in the Heavenly Sage Hall. What was even more shameful was that they didn’t even block the news about the incident from spreading, and thus, everyone in the world knew about the internal strife and had their morale on the verge of collapse.

“Previously, I didn’t have time to deal with it for a while, and it fell apart like this. In the past fifteen years, I have indeed killed too few people.”

The Nine-Tailed Fox wagged her tails and asked, “However, currently Nine Regions is weaker than the Immortal World. Do you think it’s wise to attack our own people at this time?”

w.a.n.g Lu coldly said, “At this time, those who engage in internal strife do not deserve to join our side.”

“Wow, those are great words! But, not only you don’t deal with it yourself, you even entrust me to do it, do you really trust me?”

“I trust your cunning.” w.a.n.g Lu lightly said, “Cunning Fox, you ought to know what to do.”
