第两千四百九十章 令狐香儿

Subsequent to a flash of spiritual light, the giant hand moved with lightning speed and snatched the blue glow in its palm. It was a demon core about the size of a fist, with flickering strange light on it and an inch-long demonic soul attached.

The demonic soul resembled a miniature version of a huge bear, filled with panic. Despite being caught, it still tried to escape by using some secret technique, but such efforts were in vain.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and a white jade bottle flew out, emitting a green light that enveloped the demonic soul. After sealing it inside the bottle, he affixed a restriction talisman on it.

The spirit of a Spirit Realm demon was valuable even if Lin Xuan couldn't use it himself; selling it in the market would fetch him plenty of crystal stones. Thus, Lin Xuan repeated the process and carefully stored away the demon core as well as some important materials from demonic beasts.

However, Lin Xuan did not linger here for long. He retracted the Nine Palaces Musty Sword, his body emitting a bright green light, ready to leave. But just then, he suddenly frowned, sensing something. The dazzling green light dimmed once more.

Lin Xuan slowly turned around, narrowing his eyes as if gazing into the distant horizon. Yet, there was nothing but a few clouds floating in the sky; no signs of any unusual activity.

The distance that could be seen with the naked eye was limited, so he relied on his divine sense to see farther. Lin Xuan sighed deeply and showed a hint of desolation: "Trouble really likes to find me. Hmph! If you're not afraid of death, it doesn't matter. I'll send you to hell."

Lin Xuan asked himself why he had been so quick in dealing with the demons but still ended up late. Another group of demons had come looking for him.

In this world, one could never be too careful. Lin Xuan did not wish to get involved in demon affairs, yet they kept pursuing him. Fine, if they wanted to die, he would oblige by sending them to hell.

A sneer played on his lips; the repeated provocations from the demons had finally gotten under his skin. After all, even a clay figure could have some fire. Lin Xuan was confident in his abilities and only hesitated because he did not want to disturb the Ice Spirit Ancestor. Even if the demons set up ten ambushes, he believed he could break through their encirclement.

A tiger that didn't roar was treated as a sick cat. Lin Xuan waited calmly for any unfortunate demon to come within his reach.

After half a cup of tea had passed, a faint pink hue appeared on the horizon.

Pink?

At the same time, a faint fragrance wafted through his nose, light but refreshing and invigorating.

Lin Xuan's expression changed abruptly. His alertness was evident.

Was it the Pink Peach Cloud Poison?

This was one of the ten great poisons in the spirit realm, and even with his Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, Lin Xuan could not dismiss its danger. After all, one could never be too careful. While his Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire could protect him from most toxins, it did not guarantee immunity to all.

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, two bright red pills flying out. He swallowed them without hesitation; these hundred snake pills were effective in repelling poisons.

Next, he summoned the Nine Heavens Qi Shield.

With the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire added, there were three layers of protection. While none was sufficient to completely neutralize the Pink Peach Cloud Poison, their combined effect would weaken it significantly.

However, this time Lin Xuan's suspicion proved unnecessary. The fragrance was just a pleasant scent that made him feel refreshed; it had nothing to do with the Pink Peach Cloud Poison.

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan did not show any self-deprecating expression. Who could say his judgment was always correct? As they say, better safe than sorry. His cautious approach ensured he would be prepared for anything.

He continued to stare into the distance, and then a pink demonic cloud appeared in front of him.

Lin Xuan's eyes widened with surprise as his brows furrowed slightly. The demonic aura seemed familiar, but Lin Xuan could not recall where he had seen it before despite his good memory.

This was strange.

Could the owner of this pink demonic cloud be someone he had met before?

Lin Xuan's mind raced, but his expression remained unchanged. He maintained a composed demeanor regardless of any sudden situation.

The demonic cloud moved swiftly; just moments ago, it was far in the distance, now it was only several hundred feet away and stopped there.

Due to the cloud cover, Lin Xuan could not see the demons inside clearly. Just as he was about to use his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes, a voice sounded from within, filled with surprise:

"Eh? Big guy, how can it be you!"

Lin Xuan almost fell off his perch.

The voice was incredibly unfamiliar, but the tone was very familiar to him.

Could it be...

But why would she be here?

Such coincidences were rare in this world.

Despite his doubts, Lin Xuan's mind unconsciously conjured a warm image.

It was an endless ice plain. The north wind howled fiercely, yet a small white fox, completely white from head to toe, seemed unaffected by the cold. It peeked behind an ice mountain, its appearance charming and innocent. Its fur was as soft as snow and as smooth as jade, without a single strand out of place. Its eyes shone like stars.

The little fox found a walnut and used its front paws to push it forward, making it roll with a "gurgle."

Not far away, a beautiful young woman stood with a gentle smile on her face. Her appearance was not breathtakingly beautiful, but she was the one Lin Xuan had always dreamed of.

Moon!

How many times he had woken up at night, dreaming of her. At this moment, his little girl was still as pure and innocent.

"Xiang'er, stop playing around; come here. Sister will give you candy."

"Moon sister is so nice."

The fox's ears perked up, its voice soft and endearing. It abandoned the walnut and used all four legs to transform into a white streak of light, leaping into Moon's arms.

"Sister, I want candy."

The little fox rubbed against Moon's hand, looking adorable.

"Alright, are you afraid I'll cheat?"

Moon playfully scolded him as her voice reached his ears. She flipped her hand and a jade bottle appeared in her palm.

She uncorked the bottle, releasing a fragrance that filled the air with its sweetness.

Moon did not have any candy on her; this was a spirit elixir to enhance one's cultivation.

Xiang'er swallowed it...
