Claiming the Little Pagoda and the Broken Sword, the Heavenly Fox Woman Won't Leave Me Alone

"Let's see where you can run!"

The Little Pagoda was quite sentient, trying to flee as soon as it finished eating.

Little did it know that Shi Xiu had already set his sights on it.

In an instant.

The Kun Peng Precious Technique manifested a pair of golden wings behind Shi Xiu.

He lunged straight at the Little Pagoda in midair.

And the pagoda itself possessed intelligence.

At the sight of this, it actually began darting every which way.

It even spoke through some form of spiritual communication.

"What do you want? Boy, what kind of physique do you have? Why do you have so many treasures on you?"

Heh.

Interesting.

Originally, the Little Pagoda wouldn't speak to its owner at first.

Only after receiving substantial benefits would it offer help.

But unexpectedly, Shi Xiu had already collected practically all the valuable treasures up ahead.

That immediately piqued the Little Pagoda's interest.

It also needed to replenish its energy through the divine properties within those treasures.

In other words, this was a gluttonous treasure!

"Hehe, name your terms. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll never lack food or drink!"

"All right, but I get to pick a few of your treasures first. In exchange, I can act on your behalf once!"

This little thing really was a cunning merchant.

Still, equivalent exchange was a fundamental truth under heaven.

They had only just begun working together. There was hardly any reason to expect it to give everything!

"Deal. Take your pick!"

For Shi Xiu, who had read the novel.

Of course he knew what the Little Pagoda could do.

There was no way he would lose out on this deal.

And with the Little Pagoda, he effectively had an encyclopedia.

There was nothing in the entire Upper Realm or lower realm that it didn't know.

In certain respects, the Little Pagoda's knowledge was even broader than the Willow Deity's.

The Little Tiger had originally wanted to rush up and snatch it too.

After all, there was no need to worry about being killed here.

But just as he prepared to charge out.

A beautiful woman had appeared before him at some point.

She was looking at him with a smile.

"Little kitty, you mustn't steal other people's things, or this big sister won't be nice to you!"

On the surface, she looked like a human beauty.

Perhaps her manner was just a little frivolous.

But in the Little White Tiger's eyes, standing before him was a terrifying Demoness.

Because her true form was definitely not human.

"Y-you're from the Heaven Severing Sect..."

"Shh, be a good little darling and withdraw from this contest. Big sister is doing this for your own good!"

This woman was, of course, the Heavenly Fox Woman.

She was another heroine who had appeared ahead of schedule.

And the earlier major trouble with the Rain Clan had been dealt with by an elder of the Heaven Severing Sect.

Otherwise, both Shi Xiu and Shi Hao would undoubtedly have become hopelessly entangled with the Rain Clan in the future.

"Hmph, if the mountains don't turn, the waters will! Your Heaven Severing Sect had better not push people too far!"

With the Demoness blocking his path.

The Little White Tiger could only swallow this grievance in silence.

But the way he bared his teeth and brandished his claws before leaving made it clear that he wasn't convinced!

Watching the Little White Tiger depart.

The Demoness let out a soft sigh.

"Why can't you recognize a good heart, little fellow? Big sister was trying to keep you from being cooked..."

They both belonged to the Primordial Ferocious Beast lineage.

The Heavenly Fox Woman truly meant well.

Unfortunately, the Little Tiger had no way to change his impending fate of being eaten.

Before leaving, he even shot a vicious glare at the smug Shi Xiu.

That single glance was ample proof that the Little Tiger would appear again.

Wasn't he obediently turning himself into braised meat?

After obtaining the Little Pagoda.

Shi Xiu found the Broken Sword left behind by Weird Grandpa without much effort.

Since the thing looked battered and broken.

It was simply stuck in a rock.

Its surface was also mottled with rust.

So none of the fellows passing by even gave it a proper look.

But Shi Xiu had to exert considerable strength to pull it out.

And he immediately sensed the incredible Dao resonance within the Broken Sword.

This was absolutely a peerless spiritual weapon.

The fellows nearby simply had no eye for quality!

And just as Shi Xiu was about to examine it further.

A faint fragrance drifted into his nose.

Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a long-legged woman in a skirt slowly walking toward him.

She didn't look like she was hunting for treasures at all.

Instead, she looked as though she were strolling through a courtyard, looking for someone.

Who else could it be but that big sister Demoness?

At this moment, however, Shi Xiu didn't recognize the woman who had silently been helping him behind the scenes.

"You are?"

"Oh my, little brother, you've taken all the treasures here. Big sister is so heartbroken!"

What a perfect opening line.

So far, it seemed no one had ever said anything like that to Shi Xiu.

Seeing most of the people and ferocious beasts who entered return with their feathers clipped.

Even he felt a little embarrassed.

"Big sister, what sort of treasure would you like? Perhaps I can compensate you!"

In fact, the Little Pagoda had already sifted through the spiritual treasures he had just collected.

What remained wasn't particularly useful.

He could easily erase their marks and give them away.

But the Heavenly Fox had no interest in such rubbish.

The woman spun on the spot like a ballet dancer.

Then she leaned straight toward him.

"Oh my, big sister has no interest in these little things. All I want is the Heavenly Dao Treasure Body!"

Good grief.

Did she have to be so direct?

It seemed she was another person in the know!

"Hehe, I'm Shi Xiu of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. May I ask who you are, big sister?"

Just as Shi Xiu was watching the woman before him warily.

The Little Pagoda's voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"You'd best not provoke this woman. She's the Saintess of the Heaven Severing Sect!"

Good grief.

Another big shot!

It seemed she had come specifically for Shi Xiu.

Unlike the haughty Fire Kingdom Princess or the bashful Yun Xi of Heavenly God Mountain.

The Demoness before him appeared entirely at ease, taking the initiative to go on the offensive.

She even seemed rather clingy!

Her methods were very close to those used by those faux-innocent socialites on Blue Star!

Still, it seemed the vast majority of men couldn't escape these few tricks.

What a headache!

And just then.

Another beam of emerald light shot into the sky from the nearby mountains.

A familiar fiery-red figure appeared.

It was Huo Ling'er.

The girl had actually subdued a pair of emerald bracelets.

One glance was enough to tell they were excellent magic artifacts.

Seeing this, Shi Xiu immediately had an excuse to escape the Demoness.

"Big sister, I'll go take a look first!"

"Oh my, you little rascal, just how many darling little sisters do you have?"

He had intended to use the excuse to get away from the Demoness.

Unexpectedly, she was like sticky toffee he couldn't shake off.

Shi Xiu was going to congratulate Huo Ling'er.

Yet this woman also flew over of her own accord.

She looked Huo Ling'er up and down.

"And who are you? Why are you pestering the Fire Kingdom's prince consort?"

It was simply a woman's intuition.

Huo Ling'er instinctively sensed that the woman before her was an enormous threat.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao also came running over with faltering steps.

As he ran, he clutched his stomach.

A large red bird followed beside him.

It was the one who had given them a roasted chicken leg earlier.

It seemed Shi Hao had subdued him along the way.

"What's wrong with you, brat? Did you eat something bad?"

"Big brother, you're wise indeed. I ran into Yu Feng of the Rain Clan on the way and snatched their Heavenly One Divine Water. Drinking it upset my stomach..."

Although the timeline had already changed.

The main storyline was still somewhat similar.

Those few surviving remnants of the Rain Clan had ultimately failed to obtain the Heavenly One Divine Water.

The little brat before them had snatched it out from under their noses.

And Big Red had joined their side as well.

But the Demoness opposite them seemed a little surprised when she heard about the Rain Clan.

"Wasn't the Rain Clan wiped out by our Heaven Severing Sect's elder? How are any of them still alive?"
