Chapter 297
"Run! Shooting Star is coming towards us. We'll definitely die here."
The Daoist priests who were preparing to capture the fox demon were also affected by the blinding light of the meteor, as if the world had turned into a white expanse in an instant.
More importantly, this terrible meteor was heading straight for them.
And it's extremely fast!
Sensing the danger of death, they immediately fled on their swords, but the meteor seemed to have locked onto them, flying in the same direction they fled.
"Run separately!"
The middle-aged Daoist priest shouted, and the other Daoist priests immediately scattered and ran, but in that instant the meteor had already arrived.
Immediately afterwards, a huge mushroom cloud rose up here.
But cleverly, the meteor's explosion avoided the little fox demons.
"Shooting Star... exploded?"
"We... we're not dead?!"
"Are all those stinky Daoist priests dead?"
"What on earth is going on..."
After a while, once the noise from the meteor explosion had subsided, the fox spirit girls who had been lying on the ground hesitantly stood up.
They stared blankly at their hands and bodies, as if they were still alive, and fully alive at that.
Instead, those stinky Daoist priests disappeared without a trace.
Why didn't the meteor hurt them? It was clearly heading this way at first, but it changed direction when the Daoists ran away. How strange.
"I think I just noticed that it wasn't Shooting Star ... but an arrow."
At this moment, a white-haired little fox girl hesitated and said that at the instant the meteor approached, what she vaguely saw was not a burning meteorite, but an arrow wrapped in white light.
"Arrows? How is that possible!"
"That's right, nothing is as terrifying as an arrow, making such a big commotion, it's no different from Shooting Star."
"Xiao Mi, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"Huh? I'm not sure about that either. Maybe I really misread it."
Seeing everyone say that, Xiao Mi also became a little insecure.
"But no matter what, we survived!"
"Yes, that's great."
"It must be that the Shooting Star heard our prayers..."
The fox spirit girl was grateful to be alive and filled with gratitude towards Shooting Star.
Little did they know that thousands of meters away, a woman with fox ears was slowly retracting her longbow.
The so-called Shooting Star were nothing more than arrows in her hand.
However, in many situations, her arrows are faster and stronger than shooting stars!
Because she had made a promise to them...
"One day, I will be faster than the light arrow of the Emperor's Bow."
"One day, we will no longer have to witness shooting stars falling."

Chapter 2: The Heavenly Strike General of the Xianzhou [Yaoqing].
"It really is... a familiar feeling of gratitude!"
"It's like seeing the [me] of the past."
The fox-eared woman sheathed her longbow and looked at the group of "fellow tribesmen" several kilometers away. The scene from that brief moment had pulled her into her own past Remembrance.
At that time, "she" was still called Saran, and was just a war slave of the Buli People.
Beneath the pale yet dazzling meteor, she and her companion Ningli ran across the boundless plains, escaping Buli People's control.
The Stinking Wind's breath assaulted their faces, and the chilling howls of the wolves constantly stirred the fear buried deep in their blood. But she never doubted that she could escape the wolf pack's pursuit.
Because if they make a wish upon a shooting star, the shooting star will shine upon them, and if they chase that light in the sky, they can reach the distant place where the light is.
In her desperate pursuit, she saw the light drawing ever closer...
However, upon closer inspection, she realized that it wasn't a shooting star, but a flying woman who claimed to be a general of the Yaoqing Xianzhou named Yueyu Yu.
In the distance, an army she had never seen before surged toward her from behind, countless arrows flying over her head and raining down on the pursuers of Buli People.
Look, Ningli, the shooting star has granted our wish!
She shouted with ecstatic joy, never looking back, and never seeing the meteor finally touch the earth, fading into silence.
When she returned to the old place of Kulu, she found that she was greeted not by the howling of wolves or the cries of foxes, but by a bottomless abyss.
After the scorching light waves, not even a skeleton remained.
But she still chased after the shooting star, and everyone there was one—it was the light of the Emperor's Bow, their spiritual support in the face of danger.
That is why, when faced with the renewed invasion of the Denizens of Abundance, she could not believe her eyes—a meteor was falling toward them.
Even though countless Abominations of Abundance gather here, countless Yaoqing soldiers are also fighting desperately to the death.
But the sound of the meteor streaking through the sky was like the approaching Grim Reaper, chilling her to the bone, as if she had fallen into hell.
Finally... even the invincible general in her heart turned to dust under the light of the Emperor's Bow.
"...call."
Feixiao shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.
In a flash, he appeared next to the fox demon girls in front of him.
She had only recently arrived in this world and was still unfamiliar with it. The reason she had attacked just now was simply because they reminded her of Feixiao from the past.
Instead of fleeing, the fox-spirit girls walked to the spot where the Feixiao arrow had landed.
Here, the original forest has long since disappeared, replaced by an enormous, super-sized hole.
It was just as loud as a real meteor hitting the ground.
And it wasn't an ordinary-sized meteorite.
"It's huge!!"
"So this is what happens after Shooting Star falls?"
"That's really terrifying."
"If Shooting Star hadn't changed direction, and if those stinky creatures hadn't escaped, we would definitely have been reduced to ashes by Shooting Star's light."
"Yes..."
Looking at the enormous hole before her, the fox spirit girl couldn't help but sigh, realizing that such power was beyond human capabilities.
"Not necessarily."
"If I could, I wouldn't hurt the innocent."
"Otherwise, how would it differ from the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow?"
Just then, a spirited female voice rang out nearby, startling the little fox demons.
"Who? Who's speaking?"
Who is it?
The fox spirit girls quickly looked around warily, thinking that those stinky Daoist priests had returned, since they were still in their territory.
However, they were slightly taken aback when they noticed Feixiao's figure not far away.
It turned out to be an older sister from the same clan.
"Is my sister also a fox spirit? Why is she here?"
"Could it be that he also escaped from those stinky Daoist priests?"
The older sister from my clan in front of me is really beautiful, and she gives me a strong sense of security.
"A fox demon? I could be considered one, I'm probably Foxfolk, though I also have some other bloodlines..."
Seeing that the fox demon girl in front of her regarded her as a member of the same race, Feixiao casually explained that although the two looked similar, there were still differences.
She shouldn't possess any so-called demonic power.
"As for why I'm here, I'm also quite surprised."
When she opened her eyes and arrived in the new world, she found herself here, and she didn't even know where she was.
What kind of world is this...?
"Foxfolk? Aren't they just fox demons?"
Some people didn't understand, what else could Foxian be but a fox demon?
However, I really can't sense any demonic power from this sister of the same clan; it must be because she's too powerful.
"If you think that way, that's not necessarily wrong."
Feixiao wasn't too concerned about this; whether they were Foxfolk or fox demons, it didn't matter much. She was far more curious about the state of this world.
There are cultivators who fly on swords, and there are demons.
It looks like it should be a fantasy world set in ancient China. If that's the case, then it's going to be very interesting.
"Doesn't your sister know how she got here?"
Xiao Mi walked up to Feixiao and, for some reason, felt very safe standing next to her.
This made her, who lacked a sense of security, instinctively move closer to her.
They are all fox spirits, of the same kind.
She felt that Feixiao in front of her couldn't be a bad person.
"We're new here, so naturally we don't know. Can you tell me where this place is? And what about those cultivators who were chasing you earlier?"
Noticing Xiao Mi's approach, Feixiao did not refuse, but instead reached out to touch her head, which made Xiao Mi very happy, and she even closed her eyes comfortably.
My mother used to gently stroke my head like this, until those Daoist priests stormed in, and tragedy struck...
She hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time, and being with this unfamiliar older sister from the same clan made her feel at ease again.
Perhaps it stemmed from Feixiao's powerful aura and strength, but I instinctively felt that with her by my side, nothing would happen.
"Those stinking Daoist priests? How do you know about what happened before? Were you there the whole time?"
Compared to other fox spirit girls, Qing'er is much more wary here. Although Feixiao is of the same race, she will instinctively trust her to some extent.
It's hard to say about other demons, but fox demons are generally quite united. However, nothing is absolute, and there might be fox demons among them who harbor ill intentions towards their own kind.
"I just happened to see it."
"Little girl, don't be so wary of everyone. If I hadn't intervened, you would have been captured by those Daoist priests."
Seeing the little fox demon so wary wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but Feixiao didn't want to be seen as the bad guy. He withdrew his hand from Xiao Mi's hair, put his hands behind his back, and spoke to her with a dashing air.
"You're making a move? When?"
She didn't remember anyone having intervened before; if it weren't for Shooting Star's arrival...
Wait a minute, Shooting Star? Could it be that the Shooting Star just now...?
How could it be? How could anyone be so powerful? Qing'er subconsciously rejected the idea.
But upon hearing this, Xiao Mi suddenly realized something. "Sister, were those Shooting Star just now arrows you shot?"
She had previously doubted whether she had seen it wrong, but after hearing Feixiao's words, she was now certain that it was not a Shooting Star, but an incredibly powerful arrow.
"Huh, you actually saw its true appearance?"
Feixiao was a little surprised to hear what Xiao Mi said.
The light arrows she fired were so powerful that ordinary people could never see what was inside them.
