Background / History
The White Fox first appeared when it attacked Xie An’s Treasure Plant, killing his hunting dog and repeatedly evading him despite his powerful Bright Jade Skill. Its escape triggered Xie An’s Lifelong Legacy, making the fox the first known living creature to activate it without being killed. 177
The fox was associated with an injured crimson fox, later revealed to be the great demon Master Huang. It cared for the injured demon by hunting, preparing food, gathering firewood, and standing guard. Its loyalty moved Xie An enough to abandon an immediate attempt to seize Master Huang’s treasure chest. 183 186
The White Fox repeatedly traded with Xie An for Treasure Plant sprouts, White Pupa Stones, and other items. Its cautious behavior revealed that it understood human speech and could write numbers, while its connection to Master Huang suggested that it was more intelligent and significant than an ordinary demon beast. 178 183
Xie An later identified the White Fox as a Nine-Lives Spirit Fox. Its unusual bloodline originated from a breath of innate vital energy belonging to the Fire Fox Martial Saint Demon King, which had nourished the fox after the Fire Fox’s death. The Spirit-Connecting Treasure Mirror was originally the Fire Fox’s innate supreme treasure and was connected to the White Fox’s origin. 194 195 216 218
After eating the gall of a Four-legged Serpent, the White Fox awakened its spirit and began speaking. It subsequently became Xie An’s companion and scout, helping investigate the Four-legged Serpent incident and gathering intelligence around Hongze Lake and Li Hao’s forces. 196 197 210 212
The White Fox obtained the Tianbao National Seal for Xie An after infiltrating a dangerous area and surviving an attack that left it with a severe abdominal wound. It recovered by drinking Xie An’s blood, then delivered the seal to him. 211 212
Chen Yu’er later took the White Fox to Northern Liang, claiming that it belonged to the Northern Liang Demon Court. The White Fox initially resisted but trusted Chen Yu’er after learning that she treated it well and helped it obtain food and Four-legged Serpent galls. Chen Yu’er eventually entrusted it back to Xie An, explaining that its connection to the Spirit-Connecting Treasure Mirror meant it could not permanently leave him. 216 218
Appearance
The White Fox is a small, beautiful fox with fur as white as snow. It resembles an Arctic fox and is often carried on Xie An’s shoulder or held in his arms. 177 194 195
Distinguishing features include:
- White, snow-like fur and an unusually attractive appearance. 177 194
- Exceptional agility and speed, even before its later transformations. 177 211
- A body that becomes stronger and more developed after eating demonic beast galls and completing molts. 211 218 226
- The ability to communicate through gestures, written numbers, speech, and eventually mental transmission. 178 183 196 229
Personality
The White Fox is intelligent, cautious, and strongly loyal to those it accepts as family. It protected Master Huang during his injuries and remained devoted to him despite their difficult circumstances. 183 186
It is also playful, mischievous, and highly food-motivated. Xie An persuaded it to act as bait for a Four-legged Serpent by offering fifteen lemmings, and later recruited it for intelligence missions by promising food or demon-beast organs. 195 196 210 211
The fox dislikes being handled or treated as a pet. Xie An and Chen Tie repeatedly teased and played with it, causing it to become deeply resentful of humans while remaining outwardly obedient when instructed by Master Huang. 194
Despite its complaints and fear of danger, the White Fox repeatedly undertakes risky missions for Xie An. It is capable of bravery, but it prefers careful planning, negotiation, and a reliable reward. 196 211 212
