Lan was fully prepared. She paid the hunters enough money to ask them to take good care of Lord Zi. Then, he set up all kinds of barriers. Once an enemy attacked, these barriers could delay them for at least an hour. This was enough time for Lord Zi to escape. She wrote down Lord Zi's schedule in detail, his favorite food, and the things he hated. She refused to leave over and over again. After doing it, she was actually ridiculed by Purple very seriously,"Lan, do you see me as your child?”
Thus, Lan Shang set off. He advanced through the desolate snowy mountains, crossing one mountain after another. She climbed very quickly, almost running all the way. Then, she gradually slowed down.
In the end, she even stopped because she saw a strange scene.
It was the Spirit of Nature. It gradually thickened on a frozen lake, like a cloud of white fog. The white fog began to absorb the nearby snow and wind, then began to expand, transform, and finally no longer transparent.
A winter demon was born.
This demon looked like a young girl in her prime. She had purple hair and a jade-like appearance. She was dressed in a kimono with a chrysanthemum costume on it.
A moment later, a Winter Demon was formed, with a pair of transparent wings on its back.
"You must be a fox demon!" The demon flapped its wings." I said that you fox demons are very smart, but I don't believe it! I will use the wind and snow to confuse your eyes, and you will never be able to walk out of this snowy mountain.”
The core of demons was the spirit of nature. This spirit of nature could be a breeze, a ray of sunlight, or a pool of clear water. They did not directly participate in the world of humans or demons. They were just bystanders. Under special circumstances, these nature spirits would condense themselves and then attract the substances in nature, gradually shaping their bodies according to their own preferences. The species formed by nature spirits had a unified name: A demon. After the first transformation, it was difficult for the Nature Spirit to change its appearance again.
Blue suddenly spewed fire and burned the winter goblin to a crisp. However, there was no need to worry. Nature spirits would not be harmed by flames. The fairy was instantly sublimated by the high temperature, but only the matter that made up the fairy was reduced to ashes. The core nature spirit floated far away like a mist. As long as it was in an icy environment, this Nature Spirit could revert back to a fairy at any time.
"Damn you, stinky fox, I will be back!”This nature spirit used the wind nearby to clamor unwillingly. Then, the white fog-like spirit floated away.
Lan had walked through countless mountains before arriving at the border. Ever since she became a Nine-Tailed Fox, no other mage in the world was her match. Now that Lan Shangtian was omnipotent, her nine tails were exposed and she walked into the city as if nothing had happened.
Cities in nearby countries had a wall, and there were a few low-level warriors guarding the gate. When they saw Eight Clouds Blue walking over, they were so scared that they almost wet their pants.
During the peaceful times, which ordinary person didn't know that they would run away if they saw a demon fox with more than four tails? However, they were warriors, the guardians of this city. Although they were cannon fodder, they could not take even half a step back.
The city gate was quickly closed. A few warriors ran to the city wall to be on guard. One of them, who was afraid of death, went to the castle to report.
"Open the door. I won't do anything bad when I go in.”Lan tried to push the gate open, but it did not work.
"Lord Nine-Tailed, we are all poor warriors from nearby countries.”A warrior leader said fawningly," As long as we let you into the city, we will be sentenced to death. Offending you is also a capital offense. We can only lock the city gate. If you use your magic power to break it open, we can be considered to have done our duty to the City Lord. If you are willing to spare us, then we will have survived this calamity. Lord Nine-Tailed, please be magnanimous and spare us twenty people!”
Blue looked at the leader of the warriors. He was very old among the warriors, and his words were very smooth. He had already explained it to the city lord.
However, there was a foolish young warrior on the city wall who pulled his bow and shot an arrow at Blue's forehead. However, Blue had noticed it long ago. She had used her demonic power to harden the skin on her forehead. It was harder than diamond, so the arrow was forcefully blocked by Blue without even breaking the skin.
"Oh my god!" The young warrior was horrified. A few warriors nearby quickly grabbed him. The samurai leader was so scared that he did not dare to speak.
Lan Tengkong jumped onto the five-meter-tall wall and stood among the warriors. The warriors retreated in fear. The young samurai knelt on the ground and threw his katana aside. He looked at Eight Cloud Blue as if he was waiting for death. His expression was one of despair before death.
However, Blue One pulled him up and touched his face.""You're too young. I won't lose my temper with a child. You have to learn from your captain. War belongs to the country, and your life belongs to you. You have to learn to balance this relationship.”
The young samurai nodded submissively. Blue smiled disdainfully and jumped into the city from the other side.
Blue mocked himself in his heart. He still couldn't be ruthless to the weak humans. The disdainful smile just now was also mocking himself. Why was he still so good to others?
This reminded her of something. It had been more than 200 years, and she had almost forgotten about it.
When Blue was still a Five-Tailed Fox, she discovered a huge sinkhole. She ran down curiously. The scenery at the bottom of the cave amazed her, so she stayed underground for two days.
On the third day, a herbalist was picking herbs on the cliff of the sinkhole when he accidentally fell down. The herbalist didn't die immediately, but his legs were broken and he was covered in blood. He was on the verge of death.
At that time, Blue was still a five-tailed fox. She had the same prejudice against humans as all the other monsters. Hence, the five-tailed fox ran to the side of the herbalist and gloated as she watched him die.
However, the herbalist woke up. He noticed his injuries and realized that he could not move. He thought he didn't have much time left. He still had a few mouthfuls of food on him. He barely ate a few mouthfuls, but he vomited them out.
Seeing that the herbalist had woken up, the five-tailed fox ran over from afar. Hehe, the Five-Tailed Fox found it very interesting to watch the lowly humans slowly die.
The herbalist saw that this fox had five tails, so it should be very powerful. However, this fox was also here, so it must have been trapped and could not get out.
"Old man, are you dying?" The five-tailed fox asked.
"I'm dying. My legs are broken, and I can't eat.”Herbalist sighed. "Are you trapped here too?"
"I can leave anytime, but I want to watch you die slowly."”
After another half a day, the five-tailed fox ran over and asked,""Old man, are you still alive?"
"My throat is so dry that I can't speak. Can you get me some water?"”
The five-tailed fox smiled." I'm looking forward to seeing you die. Won't you die if I find you water?"”
After a long time, the herbalist reluctantly waved at the five-tailed fox and invited her over. Then, he said in a hoarse voice,"You can keep these rice balls. I'm going to die soon, so I don't need them anymore.”
"You're not dead yet?" The five-tailed fox smiled.”
"There's still half a day, please wait," the farmer said hoarsely.”
The five-tailed fox stopped exploring the depths of the sinkhole. She had explored all the caves under the sinkhole in the past few days, so there was no point in going anymore. Thus, she stayed by the farmer's side and waited for him to die.
Why was this old man so unafraid? He probably realized that he couldn't avoid it and accepted his fate. Humans were so small that a cold wind could extinguish the fire of his life. The five-tailed fox sighed, lamenting the fragility of life.
After another half a day, the farmer's voice was extremely weak. All of his actions were done with all his might, and the five-tailed fox could see this.
"Are you still there?" The herbalist was already blind, and the five-tailed fox was clearly right in front of him.
"Are you going to die?" the five-tailed fox asked nervously.”
"Yes," said the farmer. Here is the magatama I carry with me, which my father passed to me.”
The Five-Tailed Fox was a little angry, and she slapped Gouyu to the ground."I'm not your errand boy! Don't make me give it to your child!”
The farmer said,"It's for you. I'm dying, so I don't need it."”
Then, the herbalist rested for a long while before saying,""I remember that you can go out by yourself, right? After I die, you will eat my corpse. I ate other animals when I was alive, so I should be eaten after I die.”
The Five-Tailed Fox said disdainfully,"That's because you're too weak. You fell down to court death. Even if I fell down, it would be fine."”
"There will be a day of death," the farmer said hoarsely.”
The Five-Tailed Fox mocked,"You're just a human. You should know your limits when you die." Humans are clearly like ants in front of me, yet you still think so highly of yourself. Who cares if you die here like this? As long as it doesn't concern your own interests, who among you humans would care about other people's matters? Your arrogance should stop here!”
Herbalist's voice was so weak that he could barely hear it."" Humans should be like this, because we are so small…"
The five-tailed fox was actually angered by this sentence. She angrily punched the herbalist."Stinky old man, you're waiting for me to say something, right?”
Herbalist no longer spoke. He was already dead. The five-tailed fox was stunned for a moment. This was something that should have happened, but it surprised her. After waiting for a long time, the Five-Tailed Fox began to eat the corpse.
The five-tailed fox had eaten humans before, so she knew how delicious young humans were. However, this herb farmer was probably too old. The taste was so hard for her to swallow that she didn't even want to eat anymore. The five-tailed fox gave up after eating half of it. She wiped her mouth subconsciously and realized that her face was covered in tears.
It was really strange that he was crying because of a mere human. No, it must be because the wind was too strong and the sand had entered his eyes.
With the farmer dead, the fun in the sinkhole would naturally be gone. The Five-Tailed Fox was a little disappointed. Looking at the bloody corpse, she felt bad. For the first time in her life, she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. If only he had saved this human the day before yesterday, he wouldn't have died. It would be a pity if he died, but what was there to regret? Eight Cloud Blue asked himself, you have no relationship with him, just a mere human, why would you cry bitterly when he died? Why did he share his food with you before he died? Why did he give you the ancestral magatama before he died? He was just a mere human, yet you still wished for him to die. Why didn't he hate you at all? Why did he even want you to eat his corpse? Why was he so magnanimous before he died? He had nothing, but it was as if he had entrusted the entire world to you?
This was a wonderful feeling, but it was also filled with incomparable regret and indescribable emotions. The Five-Tailed Fox buried the herbalist. She held the entire world that the herbalist had entrusted to her tightly in her hand. In the end, the Five-Tailed Fox did not forget to spit in front of the Herb Farmer's grave and curse," Old lunatic."
From then on, the Five-Tailed Fox's attitude towards people became very good. Until she became a Seven-tailed Fox and fought with Yiqing of the Westbound Temple, she would not kill anyone.
Now, that magatama had already experienced two hundred years of vicissitudes and was incomparably old, but it was made into a necklace by Lan and worn around his neck for personal preservation.
