Chapter Index

    Xiao Bai could clearly feel the bone-chilling ice poison within Xiao Liu constantly eroding his Meridians and Demon Core.

    If they delayed any further, it would likely be beyond saving.

    She wanted to cast a Spell to treat him, but she was powerless.

    She looked up at Yu Xian, her eyes full of pleading: “Benefactor, please save him! As long as Xiao Liu can be saved, Xiao Bai is willing to pay any price!”

    Xiao Bai didn’t know why, but she just felt that Yu Xian could save him. Otherwise, why would Yu Xian bring her here?

    Yu Xian looked at the dying Six-Tailed White Fox in the stone nest, then looked at Xiao Bai’s golden eyes filled with despair and hope. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke: “Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorn is a forbidden technique of Fenxiang Valley. Once the ice poison enters the body, it will continuously consume vitality. Ordinary Medicinal Pills and Spells are fundamentally unable to eradicate it. Perhaps, my South Ming Separating Fire can give it a try. However, I am not completely sure.”

    Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai’s originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, and she said eagerly: “As long as Xiao Liu can be saved, I am willing to try anything!”

    “Good!” Seeing that Xiao Bai didn’t hesitate, Yu Xian said no more, and a cluster of flickering crimson-gold flames slowly rose in his palm.

    He carefully guided the flame toward the Six-Tailed White Fox, controlling the temperature and intensity of the flame so that it could dissolve the ice poison without scorching the already weak Spirit Fox.

    The moment the South Ming Separating Fire touched the Spirit Fox’s body, the ice poison seemed to have met its nemesis, emitting a sizzling sound, and wisps of white vapor steamed out from within the Spirit Fox.

    Xiao Bai watched everything nervously, her nine fox tails unconsciously tensed, not daring to even breathe loudly.

    As time passed, the Six-Tailed White Fox’s trembling body gradually stabilized, and its dim fur seemed to regain a trace of luster.

    Fine beads of sweat seeped from Yu Xian’s forehead. Maintaining the South Ming Separating Fire consumed a huge amount of his spiritual power, but he gritted his teeth and persisted until the ice poison within the Spirit Fox was completely refined before slowly retracting the flame.

    “It’s done.” Yu Xian, somewhat weakly, leaned against the stone wall and slowly straightened up, his face appearing somewhat pale due to spiritual power depletion.

    He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Xiao Bai: “The ice poison is removed, but his Foundation is severely damaged and he still needs careful recuperation. Give him this Spirit Condensing Pill; it will help him stabilize his Demon Core and recover some Origin Qi.”

    Saying this, he took out a Medicinal Pill and handed it to Xiao Bai.

    Xiao Bai hurriedly took it and carefully fed the Medicinal Pill into the Six-Tailed White Fox’s mouth. Watching her son’s breathing gradually stabilize, the anxiety in her heart finally subsided, her eyes grew hot, and tears almost burst from her eyes.

    She turned to Yu Xian and bowed deeply: “Great kindness is beyond words. From now on, if Benefactor has any commands, Xiao Bai will not shrink from death!”

    Yu Xian waved his hand, signaling her not to be so formal, and his gaze fell upon the awakened Six-Tailed White Fox. He saw the fellow weakly open his eyes, and upon seeing Xiao Bai, an expression of confusion and dependence appeared in his eyes, immediately followed by surprise.

    “Mother?” Although Xiao Liu had not fully recovered, seeing Xiao Bai, he thought he was dreaming. He tentatively stretched out a paw and gently touched the corner of Xiao Bai’s clothes, as if afraid that the warmth before him was just an illusion.

    Xiao Bai could no longer hold back, hugging him tightly. Tears finally streamed down, dripping onto Xiao Liu’s soft fur.

    Xiao Liu nestled in his mother’s embrace, whimpering weakly, his voice full of grievance and relief.

    Yu Xian stood to the side, watching the mother and son reunite, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He quietly retreated a few steps, leaving the space for them.

    Not long after, although Xiao Liu was still very weak, he still transformed into human form and came before Yu Xian with Xiao Bai. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed once to Yu Xian: “Xiao Liu thanks Benefactor for saving our mother and son’s lives! In this life and this world, Benefactor is my reborn parent. If there are any commands, even at the cost of going through mountains of knives and seas of fire, I, Xiao Liu, will not frown even once!”

    Yu Xian quickly reached out and helped him up, smiling: “It was just a small effort, no need for such a grand gesture. You traveled for three hundred years for your mother; reuniting now is the most important thing.”

    Xiao Liu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, nodded heavily, held onto Xiao Bai’s arm, and looked at Yu Xian with determined eyes.

    Xiao Bai also bowed again: “Xiao Bai will always remember Benefactor’s great kindness. However, we do not know what Benefactor plans to do next?”

    “I will be leaving this continent to search for a Senior of mine.” Yu Xian did not hide it and stated his plans.

    “Leaving this continent?” Xiao Bai and Xiao Liu both showed surprised expressions and looked at each other.

    Xiao Bai frowned slightly and pressed: “Where does Benefactor plan to search?”

    Yu Xian shook his head; he himself was not certain. He needed to go to the Boundary Wall first to see if he might find an opportunity, perhaps like before, which could directly teleport him to some School.

    “Benefactor, I will accompany you. We don’t know what the situation is outside the Central Plains Continent, but it is definitely full of dangers,” Xiao Bai said without much thought.

    “I’m going too.” Xiao Liu immediately followed suit when he heard his mother say that, afraid of being separated from his mother.

    “Xiao Liu, your body…” Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Liu worriedly.

    Xiao Liu shook his head. The ice poison in his body was now removed; the rest only required recuperation. Having one more person meant one more source of strength. Going with them was not only because he didn’t want to be separated from his mother, but also because he wanted to take the opportunity to repay Yu Xian.

    “Your body indeed requires recuperation, but I know a good place that is definitely suitable for you to recover,” Yu Xian smiled.

    He was very happy to have two Celestial Foxes follow him, especially the Clan Chief and Young Master of the Celestial Fox Clan.

    “What place?” Xiao Bai and Xiao Liu asked simultaneously.

    “You will know when the time comes. However, before I take you along, Xiao Liu, is there anything else you haven’t dealt with?” As he spoke, Yu Xian cast his gaze toward Xiao Liu.

    Xiao Liu was puzzled but still took out the Profound Fire Mirror. “Is Benefactor referring to this?”

    Yu Xian smiled and shook his head. “Do you have another little companion?”

    “Little companion?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai also looked curiously at Xiao Liu.

    When Xiao Liu heard this, he scratched his head somewhat sheepishly. “Does Benefactor mean Sanwei?”

    Yu Xian nodded.

    “Does Benefactor want to bring Sanwei along?” Xiao Liu asked.

    “Bring her along. Since we don’t know when we will return, she has been protecting you all this time. I presume you wouldn’t bear to part with her,” Yu Xian smiled.

    Xiao Liu’s eyes lit up. Yu Xian seemed to know many things, but bringing Sanwei along would be the best outcome.

    “Good!” Xiao Liu immediately turned around and went to recall Sanwei.

    “Benefactor seems to know a lot of things.” Xiao Bai asked curiously. She didn’t even know that Xiao Liu had a Three-Tailed Demon Fox accompanying him, yet Yu Xian did.

    “I know more than you imagine. Xiao Bai, stop calling me Benefactor from now on. You can call me Yu Xian, or Young Master,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

    Xiao Bai fell silent for a moment. This Yu Xian was too mysterious. Up until now, she still didn’t know Yu Xian’s true purpose.

    However, everything so far seemed to have resulted in a good outcome.
