Fox Clan, Fox Clan! Muddled and Bewildered!

Looking at the lotus flowers, Jiang Lin felt quite emotional.

Thinking back to my past life, in that materialistic era teeming with internet celebrities, how many women did outrageous things, blindly worshipping money, selling themselves for fame and fortune? Just take a stroll through the dance section of any live streaming platform, and you could go in lying down and come out standing up.

Various forms of price gouging...

Look at it now, the female teachers at the Spring Breeze Pavilion Tutoring Center are all genuine and fair, and they never inflate market prices.

Pure courtesans like Lotus have their own bottom line; if they say they're selling their art, then they really are.

Now I feel incredibly guilty simply because I misunderstood my own feelings.

Sigh... It's better not to compare, but once you do, the difference is quite significant...

Of course, everything can't be generalized. In any world, there are all kinds of women, just in different proportions.

"What are Lotus's plans for the future?"

When the lotus stopped crying, Jiang Lin asked.

"Or I could find Lotus a place to stay first, Lotus wouldn't have to worry about making a living."

Lotus shook her head, interrupting Jiang Lin: "Young Master Jiang has already helped Lotus a lot. Lotus can't owe Young Master Jiang any more favors. Lotus wants to find a job to repay Young Master Jiang the money from the Indentured Contract."

"Um... actually, I'll ask Wu Ke for this money..."

"That won't do either. It's Lotus who's repaying the money; this is Lotus's business, not Young Master Wu's. Please, Young Master Jiang, don't refuse."

Seeing Lianhua's determined gaze, Jiang Lin wanted to say something, but decided against it.

Everyone has their own principles and dignity. Although the money to redeem Lotus was only a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, it was a matter of great importance to Lotus.

"If that's the case, I understand. Does Lotus have a plan?"

Lotus nodded. "I heard from Young Master Jiang that there is also Spring Breeze Pavilion in Donglin City. Lotus would like to visit the Spring Breeze Pavilion again."

"..."

For a moment, Jiang Lin felt like Wu Ke was about to be cuckolded again...

This time it's none of my business...

But... Wu Ke is just too unlucky...

The Ten Thousand Demons Continent is far from the Wutong Province. It ranks fifth in size among the Nine Continents. It is so far away from the Wutong Province that even ordinary Jade Purity Realm cultivators would need about a month to travel there, except for divine beasts like Chenghuang that are good at traveling long distances.

However, having a flying artifact would save a lot of time.

With the help of the Half Immortal Weapon's landscape map, the veiled woman returned to the capital of the White Empire — White Emperor City —in less than eight days.

When the veiled woman returned to the palace, she casually arranged some government affairs and then left White Emperor City. Even her personal maids Bai Ling Bai Qiao, only knew that their mistress had gone to Shaking Bell Mountain in the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.

However, the two did not know why their master had gone to Shaking Bell Mountain.

However, in Bai Ling Bai Qiao's minds, their master was probably just there to recuperate and break through to the next level. After all, the Shaking Bell Mountain Master was their master's good friend, and it would be safest for him to go into seclusion there.

Despite the growing rumors of the "master's Falling Realm" within the White Empire, some people were already stirring with ambition.

However, for Bai Ling Bai Qiao, everything was still under control. All they could do was try their best to stabilize the situation in the court. As long as they could hold off their master until he returned from recuperating, everything would be resolved.

Similarly, many people have many suspicions about the long absence of Bai Jiu Yi, the White Empire Ruler.

Many people tried various methods to send gifts and host banquets for Bai Ling Bai Qiao, hoping to find out some information, but the two sisters' elusive and ambiguous actions made them even more unpredictable.

Under such circumstances, even those with some ambition would not dare to act rashly.

After all, if the opponent hadn't Falling Realm, or even if Falling Realm, but were still in the Immortal Realm Immortal Realm, even at the initial stage, annihilating them would be a matter of a single thought.

On Shaking Bell Peak, Spiritual Power is abundant, and Clear Spring flow, making it a fairyland. There is a sect on Shaking Bell Peak called Shaking Bell Sect.

Most of the cultivators in the sect are demons, Sect Leader is Huan, who is at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm Third Stage.

Traveling westward for a hundred li, one arrives at Mount Yiwang, where there is no grass or tree, but abundant gold and jade. There is a beast there, which looks like a fox, with one eye and three tails, named Badger. Its cry is like a hundred sounds, and it can ward off evil; taking it cures jaundice.

This is the description of the Huan.

One morning, a woman dressed in a light blue-purple dress arrived at the cave in the mountains where the Spiritual Power was most abundant.

The woman had long hair that reached her waist, and a slightly plump but perfectly proportioned figure. Her hair was styled in a low bun with a hollowed-out gold hairpin adorned with specks of purple jade. Tassels cascaded over her dark hair. She had a delicate nose, red lips, and fair, smooth skin. There was only one eye on her forehead.

Although it's only one eye, which is a little strange, it doesn't give off a creepy feeling, perhaps because of the woman's temperament.

Or perhaps... it's all the same with the lights off?

Upon entering the cave, the magic array automatically closed, revealing a naturally formed stone chamber inside.

The stone chamber was covered with a faint layer of moss. A stone leaned against the wall, resembling a bed but not quite. Blue water dripped slowly from the stone onto a green tree beside the stone bed.

The fruit on the tree is bright red, like drops of blood.

Beneath the fruit tree, a woman knelt with her eyes closed. In front of her was a formation drawn with the blood of a white fox spirit, with her birth date and time inscribed on it.

She wasn't wearing a veil, and her stunning beauty was so captivating that even women couldn't forget her at first glance, let alone feel jealousy.

All that remained was admiration and wonder: why does such a beautiful woman exist in this world?

Seeing the heartbreakingly haggard appearance of the woman before her, the one-eyed woman's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice seemed to tremble slightly:

Just how far do you want to go?!

The voice of the one-eyed woman echoed through the cave, conveying unease, worry, pity, and anger—a mixture of emotions.

She slowly opened her eyes, gently stroking the array in front of her, without looking directly at her.

The one-eyed woman bit her lip and continued speaking:

"He was just an ordinary cultivator! Not even at the Dragon Gate Realm! Killing him is fine! Why are you so insistent on reversing Yin and Yang!"

In the past few days, in your efforts to summon that person's soul, you've fallen to the Nascent Soul, but have you succeeded? Perhaps that person has already been reincarnated! If this continues, how much more torment can your thousand years of cultivation withstand? You might even lose your life.

If that's the case, then why did you kill him in the first place? You became Immortal because of him, and now you've fallen to the Nascent Soul because of him, isn't that enough? What kind of life-for-life exchange exists between cultivators? You..."

The one-eyed woman's voice grew louder and louder, and tears streamed down her face.

The Woman in White in front of him simply lowered her head, a faint smile on her pale face.

Yes, why is that?

She had clearly made up her mind to kill him with her own hands, but at the time, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

He grabbed his own hand and pierced his chest, killing him himself, finally achieving his goal.

But why did my heart plummet to the bottom of the abyss?

"Hmph! Fox clan! Fox clan! So muddle-headed!"

The one-eyed woman angrily placed a stack of newspapers in front of her.

"This is the Landscape Newspaper from Wutong Province that I just received today. It has news from Donglin City, silly girl! Take a look!"
