Divine Beast Nine-tailed Celestial Fox

"Wake up... wake up..."

Xiao Xueyu squatted down, her delicate hands grabbing Zhuo Dongxuan's shoulders, gently shaking her as she called out.

Although the shaking was slight, it still caused Zhuo Dongxuan's proud figure to rise and fall, making her look even more alluring.

"Young Clan Leader, why isn't she awake yet? Could she have been hit by an illusion?"

Xiao Yao gently shook his head and said, "It's not an illusion. She's probably just scared by me!"

"How is that possible? She's the Saintess of the Mysterious Moon Society. Her psychological resilience is definitely beyond that of ordinary people," the Mysterious Moon Society cultivators retorted indignantly.

At this moment, Zhuo Dongxuan's delicate body trembled violently. Regaining her senses, she looked at Xiao Yao again. This time, she didn't shout "No!" anymore, but calmly parted her red lips.

"I'm sorry! You've seen a fool!"

Xiao Yao wasn't bothered by this. His gaze shifted to the Dao Fruit Tree. The three Dao Fruits that had been hanging on the tree moments ago were now completely gone.

No need to think, they must have been picked by Xiao Xueyu, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Juan!

"System, how many Dao Fruits are there in the space?" Xiao Yao silently recited in his heart.

[Beep! Host, I didn't expect you to remember me. I'm so happy right now!]

Xiao Yao felt speechless. It hadn't even been half an hour since he completed the system mission and obtained the Heaven and Earth One Sword, yet the System was acting as if it had been a long time since they last communicated.

"Tell me the exact number quickly, don't drag it out!"

[Beep! Reporting to Host, there are a total of 100 Dao Fruits.]

Xiao Yao swept his gaze across them. Subtracting the three picked by Xiao Xueyu and the other two, there were still 58 people without Dao Fruits.

He then waved his arm, and 58 Dao Fruits flew out from the System space, scattering like a heavenly maiden's flowers towards the Mysterious Moon Society cultivators and the Xiao Family members.

"How did a Dao Fruit land in my hand?"

"Does the Young Clan Leader mean we each get one? That's too good to be true!"

"It's unbelievable that we from the Mysterious Moon Society actually got one too!"

Zhuo Dongxuan looked at the crystal-clear Dao Fruit in her hand, which resembled a small human doll, and suddenly had an epiphany!

Xiao Yao's move to win people over had achieved a very significant effect.

However, thinking further, Xiao Yao possessed that token and didn't need to win people over at all!

So why didn't he keep it all for himself, but instead distributed it to them, who had contributed almost nothing?

Zhuo Dongxuan frowned slightly, looked up at Xiao Yao, and was about to ask when she heard Xiao Yao's hearty voice, "This is your reward for guarding the Dao Fruit Tree."

Most of the cultivators present felt they didn't deserve it and were sincerely grateful to Xiao Yao from the bottom of their hearts.

The remaining cultivators, however, believed this was their due credit, even thinking that if they hadn't guarded the Dao Fruit Tree, Xiao Yao wouldn't have obtained so many Dao Fruits.

But they forgot that, apart from the three Dao Fruits picked by Xiao Xueyu and the other two, all the other Dao Fruits were with Xiao Yao.

However, their expressions were the same as the other cultivators, and they didn't say anything to offend Xiao Yao, so it was fine.

Taptaptap!

Xiao Yao walked in front of Zhuo Dongxuan and bent down slightly, extending a hand.

Zhuo Dongxuan was initially confused, but soon realized she was still sitting on the ground. She then took Xiao Yao's hand and stood up with his strong pull.

After using a spell to clean the dust from her clothes, she respectfully cupped her hands and said, "Thank you!"

Xiao Yao let out a soft 'Mm', his gaze seemingly on Zhuo Dongxuan, but actually on the Dao Fruit Tree that was still shining with a brilliant, dazzling light.

So beautiful!

If I take it back and plant it where Master cultivates, Master will surely be very happy.

[Beep! Sensing the Host's strong desire to take away the Dao Fruit Tree, a mission is issued: Uproot the Dao Fruit Tree. Upon completion, you will receive a bottle of Emperor Tier Four Extremes Dao Liquid!]

Four Extremes Dao Liquid is a type of water that contains Dao charm and can keep things immersed in it vibrant.

However, its effect on Emperor Tier cultivators or Emperor Tier items is poor, with a high probability of failing to maintain their original vitality.

Thinking this, Xiao Yao realized that if he forcibly uprooted the Dao Fruit Tree, even if it were placed in the System space, it would lose a lot of its vitality.

At that time, it might die before he could even plant it where Master cultivates!

"System, this mission couldn't have come at a better time!"

[Beep! It's just my job. You don't need to praise me so much.]

Xiao Yao felt speechless, thinking, I wasn't praising you!

Just then, Zhuo Dongxuan's cheeks turned increasingly red, as if she had a cold, but in reality, she was daydreaming.

"Xiao Yao, you don't have to keep looking at me like that."

"As long as you say a word to Master, we can be together..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yao interrupted her, "What are you talking about? I've been looking at the Dao Fruit Tree the whole time, not at you!"

Zhuo Dongxuan blinked her beautiful eyes with long eyelashes frantically, her whole body seemingly petrified in place, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

The Mysterious Moon Society cultivators and the Xiao Family members rolled their eyes, all thinking that Xiao Yao was simply too clueless!

If it were them, even if they were really looking at the Dao Fruit Tree, they would have taken the opportunity to say they were looking at Zhuo Dongxuan!

Under normal circumstances, that would be the case, but if you had a Master who was much more beautiful than Zhuo Dongxuan, you certainly wouldn't think that way.

Moreover, Xiao Yao is only 12 years old, he is still a child, he is still quite pure, he is still young, how could he think of such filthy things?

"Young Clan Leader, what are you looking at the Dao Fruit Tree for? Don't tell me you want to take it back?" Xiao Yang asked casually.

Xiao Yao heavily 'Mm'ed, "That's right! I do want to take it back, my courtyard is just lacking some pretty plants."

In an instant, everyone present twitched their faces, completely not expecting that Xiao Yao actually thought that way.

Xiao Yang stood frozen, loudly complaining, "I really just asked casually!"

"Young Clan Leader, the Dao Fruit Tree is so huge, I'm afraid it's impossible to even pull it out!" Xiao Juan said.

Xiao Yao calmly shrugged his shoulders, "I have my own methods!"

Without further hesitation, he quickly ran to the trunk of the Dao Fruit Tree and placed a hand on it.

Under the release of Mana and the perception of Spiritual Sense, he could feel the roots of the Dao Fruit Tree buried deep in the ground.

However, he found that his Spiritual Sense could not probe further down, as if it was being interfered with by something!

Could there be something hidden beneath the Dao Fruit Tree?

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yao decided he would know once he pulled out the Dao Fruit Tree.

Using the excellent position and angle found from his previous perception, he hugged the trunk with both hands, gathered all his Mana in his hands, and then began to pull it out.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Rumble rumble rumble!

Boom boom boom!

The earth trembled, and the sound of tearing echoed all around.

Meanwhile, cultivators in the distance felt the sky shaking.

One minute later, the entire Dao Fruit Tree was pulled out by Xiao Yao and suspended in the air.

[Beep! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission: Uprooting the Dao Fruit Tree, and obtaining a bottle of Four Extremes Dao Liquid of Emperor Tier!]

Zhuo Dongxuan carefully examined it with her Spiritual Sense, and found that the Dao Fruit Tree was completely intact, clearly having used immense Mana to protect its roots.

However, compared to the massive Dao Fruit Tree, Xiao Yao appeared very small.

To her, it felt like, how could this be possible to pull out?

Why could such immense power be contained within such a small body?

To prevent the Dao Fruit Tree from deteriorating, Xiao Yao summoned the bottle containing the Four Extremes Dao Liquid.

With the use of Mana, it opened with a 'pop', and then the colossal Dao Fruit Tree was sucked into it.

After closing the lid, Xiao Yao immediately stored it in his System space.

But in just this short moment, the well-informed Zhuo Dongxuan realized that the bottle contained Four Extremes Dao Liquid, which even her Master would find difficult to obtain.

She didn't believe Xiao Yao obtained it through sheer luck.

It was more likely that Xiao Yao's background was extremely powerful, so powerful that he could be given Four Extremes Dao Liquid.

Finishing this thought, Zhuo Dongxuan noticed that Xiao Yao's gaze had been fixed on the already shattered ground since just now.

This also sparked her curiosity, but her Spiritual Sense was blocked by a mysterious force, preventing her from seeing what was underground.

So she flew up, and as she looked, she discovered a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox sleeping with its head resting on nine fluffy, soft, golden-orange tails.

This was a legendary Emperor Tier divine beast!

How could it be here?

"Ying ying ying!"

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox seemed to sense the changes outside, and opened its sleepy eyes, whimpering incessantly.

Xiao Yao immediately landed. Surprisingly, the mysterious force that obstructed his Spiritual Sense did not stop him.

Tap!

He stood on solid ground, and a golden-orange light flashed in his eyes.

He focused his gaze forward and saw that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was now only inches away from him. Was it trying to ambush him?
