Villainess Splits the Mountain

After Mu Yun left, Xiao Bai asked,

"Elder said there's a way to keep me safe in the Dao Supervision Palace. They weren't talking about the Spine Gu Pill, were they?"

Yu Hu gently brushed away the mist from her tea, took a sip, and then slowly said,

"The Spine Gu Pill is at risk of instant death when encountering a true powerhouse... Here is a pill. After you take it, if you can maintain its medicinal power, inject Spiritual Pressure to activate it when you feel danger. It should save your life and allow you to return safely to Hundred Herbs Peak."

As she spoke, a small brown pill, the size of a fingernail, appeared in Xiao Bai's hand.

"There's such a divine medicine? This thing must be at least a Heaven-tier Pill!"

Xiao Bai exclaimed excitedly, then grabbed the pill and swallowed it.

It was sweet, with a slightly fermented taste, like a liqueur chocolate.

Unexpectedly, according to the Modifier's prompt, this seemed to be just a Low-tier pill. Its Spiritual Power was extremely weak, and the remaining medicinal power seemed only capable of releasing a strange alcoholic scent...

Could it be a placebo?

Xiao Bai had a bad feeling.

Yu Hu didn't explain further.

"You'll know when you use it."

A chill spread through Xiao Bai. He turned his head and saw the projection of the Nine-Tailed Jade Fox appear on the wall again.

"Speaking of which, it's only been less than half a month since I became partners with Elder... Why do they trust me so much?"

He asked tentatively.

Yu Hu removed her bamboo hairpin, and a cascade of white hair fell down, spreading across the mat. The Nine-Tailed Fox on the wall swayed.

"You saw my shadow again?"

Xiao Bai tilted his head, feigning surprise.

"You mean... I see it often?"

Only then did Yu Hu answer Xiao Bai's previous question.

"I don't fully trust you. I just find you very interesting. Whether it's good or bad, it's a tribulation I cannot avoid. This is what is called fate."

With that, she raised her teacup, its sweetness like wine.

"Life is like a dream. Don't let this fleeting moment pass you by."

Hearing this, Xiao Bai's scalp tingled. He knew he couldn't escape the fate of Cultivation Harvesting tonight. He could only raise his teacup, using tea as wine, and passionately clink cups with his wife.

After draining the cup, he groggily reached out, his hand exploring the waterfall of white hair, curiously reaching towards the Demoness's butt. Xiao Bai wanted to touch a fox tail!

Smooth, round, cool...

No fur.

Before his hand even reached the pubic bone, several snowy white fox tails suddenly appeared, loosening their clothes and binding them tightly together. Face to face, chest to chest.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh. Even up close, Elder's features and skin were still flawless, breathtakingly beautiful. In contrast, their usually cold and indifferent demeanor was greatly diluted by the close contact with their voluptuous body.

Xiao Bai felt a little breathless. Yu Hu, however, looked as usual, her eyes cold yet alluring, as if she were just missing a teacup in her hand.

"Every time you discover I'm a Fox Demon, you never seem to worry that I'll kill you."

"To die beneath a White Fox is to be a romantic ghost... Besides, foxes are Spirit Beasts that repay kindness."

Xiao Bai twisted his body, still trying to reach a fox tail, but his arm span wasn't enough. He could only touch the soft, smooth fox butt...

Yu Hu laughed,

"You are calmer when you lie than usual."

Xiao Bai panicked, withdrawing his hand in fright. He steadied his mind, placed his hands on her waist, and drove his sword straight into her Fox Heart.

"Lies only represent the past. Actions prove who you are now. Nothing in this world is constant. That's what makes this world fun."

Before reaching the sage mode, Xiao Bai transformed into a philosopher ahead of time, not even knowing what he was saying. Anyway, with the Modifier by his side, what he said didn't matter at all... what he did was what mattered.

Life is like a dream. Don't let this fleeting moment pass you by.

The next day.

Before leaving, after handing over all his savings last night, Xiao Bai gave up another two thousand spirit stones this morning.

These spirit stones were the gifts he received during the Sect Tour Ceremony; he only kept a little over a hundred for himself as backup.

Perhaps only by becoming a Supervising Constable could this little immortal man of his stand tall!

Bidding farewell to Yu Hu, Xiao Bai rode his sword to the Discipline Hall.

The cliff face on the east side of Discipline Peak was as straight as a ruler, as if it had been split by a sword.

Not as if, it actually was split by a sword.

The person who split the mountain was called One Sword Fox.

Xiao Bai felt he might not be very welcome at the Discipline Hall.

Discipline Hall.

Apart from five massive pillars, the rest of the layout was very similar to a government office where trials were held in the mortal world.

Since Yu Hu had reported the matter to the sect early in the morning, Sect Master Master Chun Xiao also appeared at the Discipline Hall.

Only Master Chun Xiao and Discipline Elder Zhong Fuzi were there to receive Xiao Bai.

There weren't many people, but the presence was significant.

Xiao Bai bowed politely:

"Xiao Bai greets Sect Master Senior Brother, and Senior Brother Zhong Fuzi."

"No need for pleasantries, come here."

The Discipline Elder reached out and took Xiao Bai's pulse. Finding no signs of Soul Seizing, he finally relaxed, and the stern look on his face mostly faded.

"I thought you'd consider it for a few more days."

Xiao Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought the Discipline Elder was giving him a pregnancy test.

"Elder Yu Hu's pill refining is too expensive. As a man, I have to earn money to support the family."

Master Chun Xiao let out a long sigh, as if accompanied by the sound of a flute.

"Since it's Junior Sister Yu Hu's decision, and it involves the Dao Alliance's invitation, we can't say much either."

"Based on the information we currently have, you shouldn't be in too much danger. The Dao Supervision Palace's action seems more like grooming you to be an inside contact to monitor Junior Sister Yu Hu."

"Regarding Junior Sister Yu Hu's pill refining, the sect hasn't interfered over the years. We trust her character, but personally... I actually trust you more."

Xiao Bai was so moved by the Sect Master he was almost in tears.

But on second thought, it made sense. After the Heart Questioning during the Sect Tour Ceremony, the Sect Master trusting him meant trusting his own judgment.

According to Xiao Bai's observation, the Sect Master was a reliable person. He seemed like a sycophant but was actually a lone wolf with principles.

"Xiao Bai will definitely not let down the Sect Master's trust."

"Take this."

Master Chun Xiao signed the document for Xiao Bai, allowing him to serve as a Supervising Constable in the Dao Alliance while also remaining an Elder in the Snow Flame Sect – just like himself, who still held a minor official position at the Dao Alliance Headquarters.

Xiao Bai didn't look at the official document and tucked it into his chest.

Zhong Fuzi paced back and forth.

From the Soul Seizing and assassination incident in the Errand Disciple Quarters, he could see that Xiao Bai had some doubts about the Dao Alliance.

If this kind of thinking wasn't guided correctly, it could lead to great disaster in the future.

"Whether it's the sect, or the court, or the Dao Alliance, they are all working to maintain the prosperous age of humanity. There may be some parasites among them, but that doesn't mean the order of the entire world is wrong, do you understand?"

Xiao Bai nodded. He still held a wait-and-see attitude towards this overly strict Discipline Elder.

"Xiao Bai understands Senior Brother's meaning."

Zhong Fuzi relaxed slightly and stopped pacing back and forth.

"That's good then."

Master Chun Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, holding his flute, and added:

"If you see injustice or are hesitant, remember what you said during the Sect Tour Ceremony. Follow your heart, there's no need to be constrained by other things."

"I will respectfully follow the Sect Master Senior Brother's teachings!"

Xiao Bai cupped his hands in response, then turned and left.

Snow was falling sparsely.

Outside the Discipline Hall, in front of the mountain gate, a Dao Alliance Skyship belonging to the Discipline Hall was already prepared.

Accompanying Xiao Bai to the Dao Supervision Palace this time was the Chief Discipline Officer of the Discipline Hall, Zhang Yufeng.

"It's getting late, Martial Uncle Xiao, please board the ship."
