I Quite Like It...

"Jiang Lin! Where is he?!"

The woman landed in the courtyard and looked at the two white fox sisters kneeling on one knee. Her eyes, hidden behind the curtain, narrowed slightly.

"Xueli, be careful! This person in front of us is concealing her true appearance, and she doesn't have any sealed Spiritual Apertures. I can hardly sense her cultivation level; she might be at the Immortal Realm!"

The Sword Spirit whispered within Xiao Xueli's body.

"The Immortal Realm?" Xiao Xueli became even more Spirit Focusing. "Elder Sister Sword Spirit, do you recognize her?"

"I don't recognize you. Before you awakened me, I had been asleep for a thousand years. I must have entered the Immortal Realm within this thousand years. However, to have reached this level in just a thousand years is truly remarkable. Judging from the two white foxes kneeling before her, they must be powerful figures in the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, or perhaps rulers of a region within the Demon Race World."

"But how did Jiang Lin get involved with someone like that?"

"It's hard to say." The Sword Spirit shook his head. "Besides, we can't control Jiang Lin anymore. Now, we're probably in a difficult situation."

"Elder Sister Sword Spirit, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Xueli felt a little guilty.

When the two white foxes said that Jiang Lin was in their hands, Xiao Xueli Xiao Xueli immediately lost her composure, drew her sword, and easily defeated the white fox sisters, despite being at the peak of the Sea Gazing Realm.

The two white fox sisters also used their magic weapon to escape at the critical moment. Even though the Sword Spirit reminded Xiao Xueli that this was a trap, Xiao Xueli still chased after them until they entered the house.

"Sigh... you little rascal."

The Sword Spirit shook his head, not blaming the girl. After all, that's just the kind of personality she has. Didn't she also face the risk of the Falling Realm or even damaging her Dao when she went to the Sun Moon Sect?

And if she doesn't come, then she's not Xiao Xueli.

"Miss Xiao is quite bold; knowing it was a trap, she still followed us."

The woman slowly rose, and an Isolation Array was cast in the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, the woman in front of him was no longer dressed in hemp clothing and had her face disfigured.

On the contrary, the woman wore an elegant long dress, her figure was slender and graceful, her snow-white hair was tied up with a bamboo stick and then draped over her shoulders, and although she was wearing a veil, her silvery-white eyes were as alluring as silk.

Behind the woman, nine long, snow-white tails swayed under the stars, like a beautiful painting depicted by Painter Cultivator.

The woman placed her slender hand on her waist and bowed slightly. "This junior greets Senior Sword Spirit."

Xiao Xueli's long sword flew out, spinning continuously in the air from top to bottom. When the Flying Sword landed, a woman appeared beside Xiao Xueli.

"Can you read minds?"

"This junior knows a little."

The Sword Spirit narrowed its eyes slightly. "Who is Bai Qianluo to you?"

"He is my teacher."

Is he dead?

"Off to the Demon Race World."

"The Demon Race World? That vixen hasn't even reached the Ascension Realm yet!"

Hearing the Sword Spirit's words, the woman smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Sword Spirit didn't press further and changed the subject:

"Your master went to the Demon Race World, so why didn't you go?"

"The younger generation also has its own responsibilities."

"Is it also a matter of love?"

"Yes."

The woman stood up and answered calmly, without the slightest hint of shyness.

Since ancient times, whether it is an ordinary Fox Demon or a white fox, the final hurdle for those who have progressed from the Immortal Realm to the Ascension Realm has always been the hurdle of love.

Everyone says that fox spirits are seductive, that they are the ones who bring ruin to families and harm the world, but who knows that only Fox Demon are truly devoted to love.

Even those Fox Demon are truly amorous by nature will one day meet someone they truly love. This person may be a cultivator or an ordinary mortal, and this person will be the Fox Demon's final emotional hurdle.

Even the white fox, which symbolizes purity and innocence, is no exception.

Although the white fox disdains absorbing a man's essence, and even disdains seeing a man, considering him filthy.

However, as one progresses through cultivation, one must eventually confront the trials of love; for Fox Demon, this can be considered an unchanging law throughout the ages.

How many white foxes throughout history have actually transcended the bonds of love Ascension?

Very few.

Throughout history, how many have slowly lost their way in the face of love, ultimately perishing in the process?

I can't remember the rest.

"Since you're determined to overcome the hurdle of love, then why...?"

Suddenly, the Sword Spirit stopped mid-sentence.

Not only the Sword Spirit, but even Xiao Xueli narrowed her eyes as she looked at the veiled woman in front of her.

White foxes don't easily associate with people, especially men.

But the other party has to overcome the emotional hurdle.

In other words...

"Just as you and Miss Xiao thought..." The woman was very frank, without the slightest bit of awkwardness or affectation.

There are countless ways to overcome the trials of love in this world, which one will you choose? And why drag our Xueli into this?

The woman Way of the Body: "Please forgive me, senior. This involves my Dao and cannot be discussed. However, please rest assured, senior. I never intended to do anything to Miss Xiao. Moreover, since you know my master, I have even less reason to do so."

"So what do you want?"

"I hope Miss Xiao can bear with this slight inconvenience."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent. Apart from the starry sky, the sound of the evening breeze rustling through the locust trees, and the chirping of a few insects, the only sounds were the sounds of the insects.

"What if I don't agree?"

Xiao Xueli stepped forward, removed the curtain, and under the moonlight was the girl's beautiful face, while around the girl was a sharp sword aura.

The Sword Spirit glanced at his apprentice and smiled with satisfaction.

Knowing that the opponent was Immortal Realm, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he possessed a pure and unwavering spirit, ready to compete regardless of life or death. With such a mindset, even without the Supreme Bone, his potential for the Great Dao was limitless.

Given time, Xueli's achievements in the Great Dao may not be inferior to her opponent's.

Since Xueli had made up her mind, the Sword Spirit said nothing more and transformed into a long sword, Luo Xue's hand once more.

"Miss Xiao is indeed very beautiful." Looking at the girl who had removed the veil, the woman's voice drifted out slowly, as if she hadn't heard the girl's previous words. "Hmm, her figure is also very good."

"What is your pseudonym?" Ignoring the other person's words, Xiao Xueli gripped her longsword, exuding a commanding presence.

For the demon race, they all have two names.

One is a pseudonym, the name used in public.

The other is the true name. The true name of a demon corresponds to the demon's lifeline. When a demon is born, its parents choose its true name, and the true name is integrated into the demon's soul.

If the true name of a demon is known to others, those others can restrict them to a great extent or even use magic to control them.

Even cultivators of the Yin Yang School can perform various calculations and curses based on the true names of demons.

Therefore, the true name of a demon is usually only known to the person who gave it. Even parents, in order to protect their children, will usually erase this memory after naming them.

"As for kana..."

The woman slightly raised her head and looked up at the starry sky.

The image of a little boy unconsciously surfaced in the woman's mind.

In the dilapidated hut, a little boy dressed in tattered hemp clothes and straw sandals held Little Fox whose wounds were just beginning to heal...

[Jiu Jiu...]

Seeing the Little Fox's wounds beginning to heal, the little boy hugged the Little Fox and said happily.

From now on, I'll call you Jiu Jiu... okay?

After a long while, the woman turned her gaze away from the night sky and looked at the girl in front of her.

Beneath the veil, the woman appeared to be smiling:

Just call me Jiu Jiu.

This name,

I quite like it...
