Chapter 13986 This kid has too many secrets

Recalling her actions just now, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

That's why she had no ulterior motives; she was only thinking about saving Ling Xiao so she could get some benefits in return.

If she had even the slightest intention to harm Ling Xiao, she would probably have been killed by this sword spirit long ago, and probably wouldn't even know how she died.

Green Spirit calmly glanced at the two women with her icy, frosty eyes.

That gaze seemed to penetrate one's soul, causing Shangguan Yue and Lian Yue to involuntarily shiver.

Green Spirit's tone was calm, yet it revealed a childlike innocence and curiosity:

"So you're human. I thought this kid had been captured by the demon race."

“Those demons are always cunning and ruthless. If they capture this kid, who knows how they'll torture him.”

Upon hearing this, both Shangguan Yue and Lian Yue were stunned, and their already tense expressions became even more rigid.

For a moment, they didn't know how to respond, and could only look at each other, their eyes filled with embarrassment and helplessness.

An awkward atmosphere filled the air, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Green Spirit ignored them and focused all her attention on Ling Xiao.

With a gentle wave of her fair yet strong hand, her movements were elegant and natural, as if she were playing a beautiful melody.

A ripple spread through the void, like a pebble being thrown into a calm lake. Then, a pile of spiritual fruits, radiating a soft light and overflowing with spiritual energy, appeared in his hand.

The spiritual fruits were colorful and varied in shape; some were as round as pearls, and some were as dazzling as gemstones. Each one contained immense spiritual power.

She carefully picked up the spiritual fruit, her movements as gentle as if she were handling the most precious treasure in the world.

She fed Ling Xiao little by little, her eyes full of concern and worry, as if Ling Xiao was the most important person in her life.

She stared intently at Ling Xiao's face, not missing a single subtle change in his expression, afraid of missing the moment he woke up.

Lian Yue stared at the spiritual fruits, her eyes widening instantly, as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

She couldn't help but gasp, her voice filled with shock and envy:

"Holy Spirit Fruit, Miracle Grass, Dragon Fruit... these are all priceless treasures of heaven and earth!"

"Each one contains powerful spiritual energy, which can greatly increase one's cultivation. Even at the most prestigious auctions in the Great Town Dynasty, such a rare sight is rare. She actually has so many!"

"Just who is Ling Xiao? He has such a powerful sword spirit by his side, as well as so many precious spiritual fruits."

However, Green Spirit seemed not to hear, and continued to focus intently on feeding Ling Xiao the spirit fruit.

It seemed that only Ling Xiao existed in her world. Her serious expression made it seem as if everything around her was irrelevant to her. Neither Shangguan Yue and Lian Yue's surprise nor any of the world's disturbances could bother her.

Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the previously tranquil space, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared like a ghost.

Suddenly, the little fox appeared in front of Ling Xiao. It was petite and delicate, and its snow-white fur shimmered with a soft luster in the dim light, as pure as the first snow of winter.

At the same time, the body floating beside Ling Xiao began to tremble violently, emitting a buzzing sound that was sharp and urgent, as if expressing endless anger.

A faint anger, as if it were a tangible force, emanated from the tower and instantly filled the entire space.

The anger seemed to carry endless reproach, as if blaming Ling Xiao for not calling for her help when he was injured, and for not being able to protect Ling Xiao's side immediately.

Green Spirit tilted her head slightly, glanced at the little fox, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness and reassurance, and sighed softly as she said:
"Don't be angry. This kid is tough. He probably thinks he can handle it and doesn't need our help, so he didn't bother us!"

"He's always been like that; he prefers to shoulder everything alone."

Hearing Green Spirit's words, the little fox stomped its foot slightly in anger, its tiny paws lightly pressing down on the ground with a soft "thud".

It raised its head and rattled off a whole bunch of things to the green spirit, its voice clear and urgent, as if it were trying to defend itself against something.

Its eyes glistened with tears, and its little nose twitched as if it were expressing its worries and dissatisfaction. It blamed Green Spirit for not noticing Ling Xiao's injuries in time, and it also blamed Ling Xiao for not taking it seriously.

But Green Spirit ignored her completely, focusing all her attention on Ling Xiao and continuing to take care of him attentively.

She gently wiped the sweat from Ling Xiao's forehead with her fair and delicate hands, her eyes filled with concern and worry, as if Ling Xiao was her whole life, and only his safety mattered to her, nothing else mattered.

Seeing that Green Spirit ignored her, the little fox looked at Ling Xiao with concern.

It circled around Lingxiao a few times, occasionally sniffing Lingxiao's scent with its little nose. It looked adorable and heartbreaking.

It was anxious. Although it wasn't particularly powerful and might not be able to directly confront a strong enemy, its powerful illusion magic could still help Ling Xiao.

By using illusion magic, Ling Xiao might be able to confuse the enemy and buy himself a chance to escape or counterattack.

As a result, Ling Xiao suffered such serious injuries but didn't ask her for help. How could she not be angry?

The feeling of being ignored and excluded made its heart ache as if it were being pricked by needles.

Shangguan Yue and Lian Yue, who were standing to the side, had their eyes fixed on the little fox the moment she appeared, and they couldn't look away.

Their eyes widened as if they had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

"See that? It looks like the legendary Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!" Shangguan Yue murmured to herself, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and greed.

Her eyes gleamed with a burning light, as if she wanted to possess the nine-tailed celestial fox entirely.

Her hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, her knuckles turning white from the force, as she plotted how to obtain this treasure.

If I could obtain the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, my strength would greatly increase, and I would be able to roam freely in the martial world.

Lian Yue stared intently at the little fox, her eyes filled with longing and amazement.

She swallowed hard, as if she could already see the nine-tailed celestial fox at her beck and call.

She knew that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox not only possessed great power but also mysterious abilities. If she could subdue it, her future path would be much smoother.

Lian Yue, on the other hand, was full of curiosity, her expression revealing a deep desire to explore, as if the little fox held countless secrets waiting for her to uncover.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze like a sharp blade, scrutinizing the little fox from head to toe, not missing a single detail.
