Chapter 118 Follow Me
At that time, Si Xiaoxiao had not yet taken human form; she was just a snow-white little fox who had just come out of Yuanxi and knew nothing about the world.
Driven by passion and curiosity, she wanted to step into a new realm, but unexpectedly, she was captured by cultivators as soon as she left Yuanxi, who wanted to take her as a spirit pet. Fortunately, Fang Heng saved her.
Fang Heng was the senior who ascended to immortality. At that time, Fang Heng had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm and his cultivation was unfathomable. As soon as he appeared, it felt like the wind and clouds suddenly changed and the world changed color. The little cultivator was immediately scared away, leaving only a bewildered Si Xiaoxiao behind.
Fang Heng found Si Xiaoxiao, who was still in human form, to be truly adorable. Moreover, she possessed the essence of a nine-tailed fox spirit, which meant she was destined for great things and might even ascend to immortality. So he took her in as a spirit beast.
However, Fang Heng is strong and has several spirit beasts of his own, all of which are more powerful than Si Xiaoxiao. Normally, Si Xiaoxiao can hardly help Fang Heng at all, and can only help a little when she is being cute.
"I want to become stronger, and I want to transform into human form as soon as possible so that he can see what I look like when I take human form. But even though my cultivation level is much higher, and he has fed me a lot of elixirs and even let me soak in spiritual springs, there is still no change. I think he must have grown tired of me later and stopped summoning me..."
Speaking of the past, a soft light appeared in Si Xiaoxiao's eyes, and even her expression softened. For her, the years she spent with Fang Heng were the happiest time of her life. However, she also knew that Fang Heng was a rare cultivation genius who had already stepped into the Ascension Realm. Ascending to the Immortal Realm was only a matter of time. If she continued to be so muddleheaded, she was afraid that he would leave her behind forever.
Therefore, Si Xiaoxiao began to cultivate diligently, and it took her five hundred years to cultivate to the point where she could freely transform into human form. When she first transformed, she was extremely excited. She looked at her reflection in the lake for a long time to make sure that her face was attractive enough before she felt at ease. She then went to see Fang Heng with a happy smile, wanting to show him her most beautiful side.
Unfortunately, Fang Heng had been in seclusion for three hundred years and was already showing signs of ascension. He was currently breaking through in his cave, which was surrounded by restrictions. With Si Xiaoxiao's cultivation level, she couldn't get in at all and could only look at the mountain from afar, her heart filled with endless worry.
"Fang Heng, Fang Heng..."
She kept murmuring his name, longing to see him and eagerly wanting him to see her current appearance, but another five hundred years passed.
During the waiting period, her cultivation level did not increase at all. It felt like a huge stone was stuck in her heart, and she couldn't let it go. Once a cultivator has a mental knot, it is very difficult to make a breakthrough in their original cultivation.
Fang Heng became a knot in her heart, and also destined her to stop in her cultivation.
For five hundred years, Si Xiaoxiao had been guarding outside the barrier, sometimes staring blankly at the sky, watching the clouds roll and unroll, and then suddenly colorful clouds covered the sky with a radiant glow, as if Fang Heng was about to ascend to heaven.
If he ascends now, she will never have the chance to see him again. Si Xiaoxiao rushed into the restriction without regard for anything and was almost injured by it. It was the Xuan Tian Python, which was also a spirit beast, that saved her and scolded her: "This is simply reckless. Master is about to ascend and there can be no mistakes."
"Brother Xuan, I have finally succeeded in transforming into human form. I want to show Master this. Once he ascends, I will never have another chance." Si Xiaoxiao pleaded desperately. Helpless, Xuan Tian Python transformed into a man dressed in black, shook his head and sighed, "Master has always doted on you. You must not trouble him in this matter. Ascension is such an opportunity. If something goes wrong, not only will your cultivation be destroyed, but your soul may also be scattered."
"I……"
Upon hearing that disturbing Fang Heng would lead to such a dangerous situation, Si Xiaoxiao turned pale and couldn't speak. Seeing that she was frightened, Kong Linghe also transformed into a white-robed man and came to Si Xiaoxiao's side, looking her up and down. Si Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "Why is Brother Ling looking at me?"
"You're good-looking. Most demon beasts retain certain characteristics when they transform into human form, unless their cultivation reaches level ten. You're only level three, yet you're completely indistinguishable from the real thing. You're really impressive."
"That's their nine-tailed fox's talent; they're good at anthropomorphism. Where do all those strange tales in folklore come from?"
Xuan Tianmang said indifferently, "Don't be fooled by the fact that their levels are all above Si Xiaoxiao's. They still favor Si Xiaoxiao very much and will give her any good things they have. Perhaps it is because they are all doing this for Si Xiaoxiao that her cultivation has not improved for so long."
"Don't worry, even if Master ascends to immortality, he won't abandon you. He will take us with him to the Immortal Realm," Kong Linghe gently reassured her. These words brought a slight sigh of relief to Si Xiaoxiao, but then she thought of her cultivation level and lowered her eyes, whispering, "But I'm only at level three. Master can't take me with him..."
If Fang Heng forcibly takes her away because her cultivation level is insufficient, they might both get injured during their ascension, which is not something Si Xiaoxiao wants to see.
As the three demonic beasts were chatting, suddenly lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a dazzling light appeared in the sky, making the air even more turbulent. At that moment, they all knew that their master was about to ascend to immortality.
At this point, Si Xiaoxiao fell silent, her face pale. Tao Tao tilted her head and asked, "So you didn't ascend with your master?"
"He took Kong Linghe and Xuan Tian Python away, leaving me in the human realm. I know it wasn't that he didn't want to take me with him, but that he couldn't. So I stayed at the place where he ascended to heaven, intending to cultivate here properly and protect what he left behind. But I never expected that those old guys from the Yanhan Sect would dare to covet the ancient temple!"
Just mentioning this made Si Xiaoxiao furious. She had fallen into a deep sleep, and demonic beasts could improve their cultivation while asleep. However, several elders from the Yanhan Sect suddenly broke into the ancient temple, startling her awake. They also stole most of the treasures inside, and to make matters worse, they put the ancient temple into their spatial storage. She was so angry that she wanted to jump out and cause them trouble.
Unfortunately, her cultivation level was insufficient, so she was trapped in the ancient temple until she met Tao Tao and was able to get out.
"Let me tell you, I'm going to get revenge on those old bastards. Unless they return my master's treasure intact, I'll make them pay with their lives!"
When Si Xiaoxiao got angry, her whole face turned pink. She was already very beautiful, and this made her even more charming.
"Don't worry, I won't stop you." Tao Tao said calmly, which puzzled Si Xiaoxiao for a moment. She asked suspiciously, "Why won't you stop me? I can kill people!"
"Because even I can't deal with you with your cultivation level, let alone them."
These words were so hurtful that Si Xiaoxiao slumped into a chair in pain, poured herself a cup of tea, gulped it down, and then suddenly looked up at Tao Tao, staring intently at him, saying, "Let me go. I still need to find a way to ascend."
"With your talent, you're unlikely to ascend. Give up." Bai Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly uttered an even more hurtful statement, making Si Xiaoxiao want to vomit blood. She abruptly stood up and retorted, "What's wrong with my talent? I'm a nine-tailed fox demon!"
She knows best whether she has talent or not. Despite her confident tone, she's actually starting to feel insecure.
Suddenly, Tao Tao grinned, leaned close to her, blinked, and said, "How about this, you follow me, and I'm sure I'll ascend to immortality!"
