第四卷 七星岛 第七百六十六章 月儿与小狐狸

Lin Xuan hesitated as he held the top-grade crystal stone. The吊懈蜒猴had abundant fire spirit energy, which could easily raise the temperature of the earth flames. But should he really use it? He only had one such crystal stone; collecting another would be nearly impossible. If he used it up here, how would he leave the Spirit Beast Island?

However, the temperature was insufficient, and the Sky Dust Pill couldn't be successfully refined. Lin Xuan found himself in a dilemma.

Even with his deep-seated composure, he didn’t know what to do.

Mwah…

A strange sound entered his ears as Lin Xuan raised his head. He noticed that the Purple Dragon Cauldron was beginning to shake slightly. This couldn't continue.

Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with determination. He would worry about leaving the Spirit Beast Island later; for now, he must not waste all his previous efforts.

He threw the top-grade crystal stone into mid-air and shot out a sword of light.

Ssssh…

A crack appeared on the surface of the crystal stone, spreading like spider webs before it shattered. A fiery red scene unfolded as the temperature around them suddenly rose sharply. Lin Xuan wasn’t unprepared; he casually waved his sleeves, sending out a cloud of霞雾that enveloped the fire spirit energy from the crystal stone.

"Hey!"

Lin Xuan had expected to encounter some powerful creature, perhaps even an old monster in the form of an infant, and was ready for battle. But seeing the scene before him, he couldn’t help but laugh at his own foolishness.

A small white fox, with two gem-like eyes and a chubby body, stood there, holding a walnut in its front paws, pushing it forward to roll.

Phew, what a scare! It was just this little guy. A warm smile spread across Lin Xuan’s face; girls always liked cute animals like this.

"Come here, little one."

Seeing the suddenly appearing figure of Moonlight, the small fox seemed startled and wary as its eyes darted around.

Lin Xuan didn’t pay much attention to it and slowly approached the small fox. The fox naturally took a few steps back.

"Scared of me?!" Lin Xuan frowned, extending her hand. Her wrist flipped, revealing a silver bottle in her palm.

She uncorked the bottle, releasing an intoxicating fragrance. This was a Perfumed Pill, a type of immortal pill that could greatly enhance a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s magical power and was highly sought after by low-level cultivators.

Lin Xuan couldn’t take it herself, but she had forgotten why she carried it in the first place.

The pill not only increased magical power; its taste was far superior to common sugar pills. The small fox sniffed, clearly showing signs of desire.

"Come here, little one, there’s something delicious for you." Moonlight shook the bottle.

Driven by the fragrance of the immortal pill, the small fox cautiously approached.

Moonlight was overjoyed as she saw the distance between her and the small fox shrink to just a few steps. A flash of white light, and the small thing vanished from its spot. Before Moonlight could react, it felt a ball of spirit energy enveloping the silver bottle, flying away.

How could this be? There was no sign of magical power emanating from the small fox. Was she really tricked?

Thoughts raced through her mind as Moonlight quickly released her divine sense. In a corner of the cave, the small fox was hiding behind a rock.

She had been tricked! Moonlight waved her hand, sending several sword beams flying. Of course, it wasn’t to kill the small fox but to force him out.

However, something unexpected happened. The small fox opened its mouth and shot out a beam of light that easily broke through her sword beams. It then moved swiftly, snatching the silver bottle with its mouth and flew towards the entrance of the cave.

What annoyed Moonlight even more was that it turned around to wink at her, as if taunting her.

"Damn you! You dare mock me."

Moonlight stomped her foot and transformed into a light beam, chasing after the small fox.

This little incident went unnoticed by others.

Meanwhile, about ten million miles away on Flower Mountain, in a mysterious valley, several shaped creatures stood in a spacious cave. The leader was around thirty years old, with long black hair reaching his waist, exuding an air of elegance and refinement. However, his expression was filled with irritation.

"More than half a month has passed, but my daughter is still missing. What are you doing?" the Snow Fox King’s eyes were bloodshot as terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from him.

"Don’t be angry, your Excellency. We have done our best. Give us some more time, and we will bring back Princess Xiao safely," a bald-faced old man smiled nervously. The other shaped creatures also showed signs of fear.

The King’s power was immeasurable, and he had an excellent temperament that hadn’t seen him angry for centuries. This must be his anger reaching its peak.

"Orlan, fifty days have passed; isn’t that enough? But you haven’t found any clues. If anything happens to my daughter…" the Snow Fox King didn’t finish his sentence as no one dared meet his gaze, silently cursing their luck. The bald-faced old man was the only one who even dared speak.

The Snow Fox King indeed had a valid point. He was angry because he had been dealing with a group of fools. Thankfully, he managed to bluff through the gathering and avoided any mistakes.

Could something have happened to Xiao?

A thought flashed in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

No, she may be young, but her talent is special, almost rivaling that of a second-grade beast. Besides, this place has passed Ice Spirit Peak; there are no human cultivators here.

Was she captured by some monster?

The Snow Fox Clan was the dominant force in these lands, and Xiao had royal blood. Even stronger beasts would dare not provoke her.

Where could that damn girl have gone? The Snow Fox King rubbed his temples in frustration.

Just as he was about to speak, a beam of light shot into the cave. The light dimmed, revealing a young man around twenty years old.

He had transformed into human form; naturally, he was also at the shaped creature stage. He looked somewhat similar to the Snow Fox King.

"Young Master," several ancient beasts bowed respectfully.

However, the young man frowned deeply, his thoughts elsewhere.

"Why are you here, Jian'er?" the Snow Fox King’s expression changed as he smiled in relief: "Could it be that your sister has some news?"

This was his son, with excellent资质. Over a decade ago, he had advanced to the shaped creature stage, though still far behind his younger sister but still impressive.

"It isn’t about my sister, but she is related. In any case," the young man muttered before speaking incoherently: "Young Master, what did you say…?"

The young man didn’t speak further, just twitched his lips.

"Everyone, leave." The Snow Fox King gestured to the other shaped creatures with a wave of his hand.
