Chapter 13987 How about I repay you with my body?
He pondered the mysteries of this ancient mythical beast, and various legends about the nine-tailed celestial fox kept appearing in his mind.
After all, throughout the entire Bai Ze Continent, the reputation of this race is known to everyone.
In the list of divine beasts established by the Great Town Dynasty, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is undoubtedly among the top ten, surpassing countless divine beasts and demons. Its mysterious and powerful strength inspires awe in countless people.
How could this not shock and arouse covetousness?
Lian Yue felt her heart beat faster, as if she had discovered the most precious treasure in the world.
At this moment, Shangguan Yue suddenly stepped forward with a beaming smile, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower, her eyes full of flattery, and her tone as exaggerated as a street performer:
"Little sister, why don't you come and work for me!"
"Look at me, I'm quite a figure in this martial arts world."
"With me protecting you, I'll keep you safe and sound. You'll live a life of luxury, much better than following him!"
"He might not be able to take care of himself one day, so he can't take care of you like I do."
As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, showing off her "strength".
The little fox, however, did not react at all, remaining standing there quietly, like a cold statue.
Its small ears twitched slightly, as if it had heard Shangguan Yue's words, but its eyes remained unmoved, as if it disregarded her words or didn't take Shangguan Yue seriously at all.
It just stared intently at Ling Xiao, its heart filled with worry for him.
Green Spirit glanced at Shangguan Yue, her eyes revealing a faint helplessness, a helplessness that seemed to be a contempt for Shangguan Yue's behavior.
She said firmly, "She won't be with you."
His tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Shangguan Yue looked puzzled, her face filled with confusion, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she had encountered a tremendous problem:
"why?"
What's wrong with me?
"I have some standing in the Great Town Dynasty and the Demon Sea. Following me will bring you many benefits!"
“I can provide her with the best cultivation resources, take her to explore various mysterious places, and let her see a wider world.”
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, waving her hands in the air as she tried to persuade Green Spirit.
Green Spirit explained in a very serious tone:
"Because you're too weak, and not as shameless as this guy, he wouldn't lie to a child."
"This little fox is simple-minded and won't be easily fooled by your sweet words."
"Although Ling Xiao sometimes seems unreliable, he is genuinely kind to the little fox and will protect it in his own way."
"And you, with your head full of scheming, the little fox won't fall for your tricks."
Upon hearing this, the little fox immediately became anxious. It leaped in front of Green Spirit in a flash, waving its front paws in the air, and shouted:
"Sister Green Spirit, you're making it sound like I'm easily fooled. I won't allow you to slander Big Brother."
"My older brother is so good to me. He always brings me delicious food when he goes out, and he also plays with me."
“He’s injured, and I’m more worried than anyone else. I’m not going to leave him.”
Its voice was clear and firm, as if it were defending the relationship between itself and Ling Xiao.
Just then, a sliver of light seemed to seep into the dim space, and Ling Xiao's consciousness, like a ship shrouded in mist, gradually found its way and began to regain clarity.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, as lightly as butterfly wings, one flutter after another, carrying a longing for clarity.
After a while, the tightly closed eyes finally opened slowly, and the person became fully awake.
He looked around in a daze, his eyes filled with the bewilderment and confusion of someone just waking up, as if he were in a strange dream.
When his gaze fell on the little fox, his eyes softened instantly, like the warm sun in spring, gentle and kind.
His voice was weak, but full of surprise, as if he had suddenly seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness:
"I'm alive?"
"I thought... I would never see you again."
"In that situation, I thought I was going to die for sure. I never expected to open my eyes again and see you all."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue immediately moved closer, like a bee drawn to a fragrant flower.
She smiled slightly, a smile tinged with smugness and pride, and said loudly:
"It was I who saved you!"
"Don't forget this kindness!"
"If it weren't for me, you would be nowhere to be found now, and you might have been eaten by those demons and monsters until there wasn't even a bone left."
"I went through a lot of trouble to save you, so you should thank me properly."
As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, looking like she was asking for credit.
Lian Yue wasn't about to back down either. She rolled her eyes and snorted, her voice carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and disdain.
"And considering my efforts, those precious pills weren't given away casually!"
"I suffered a huge hemorrhage to save you."
“Those pills were collected with great difficulty, each one is priceless. You ate them so easily, you mustn’t forget my contribution.”
Ling Xiao tried to get up, but suddenly felt a chill, as if a cold wind had penetrated his body.
He looked down and was instantly stunned—he was completely naked!
His once neat clothes were now tattered, exposing large areas of skin. His face flushed crimson, like a ripe apple, and he looked at Shangguan Yue with embarrassment, stammering, "..."
"How did my clothes get so torn?"
"How...how could this happen?"
What exactly happened while I was unconscious?
Shangguan Yue quickly waved her hand, her eyes darting around, avoiding his gaze, as if she had done something wrong:
"how could I know!"
"do not ask me!"
"Maybe it got torn on the way!"
"Maybe you were cut by something sharp while you were unconscious, or you were injured while fighting the enemy. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
Ling Xiao was speechless for a moment, his heart filled with helplessness, not knowing what to say.
Looking at his tattered clothes and then at the people around him, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear into the ground.
Shangguan Yue's eyes darted around, and she immediately put on a bright smile, a smile as beautiful as a blooming flower.
She blinked and asked:
"Brother Ling, I saved you, how do you plan to repay me?"
"You mustn't be ungrateful!"
"I am your savior, you should think carefully about how to repay my great kindness."
Ling Xiao casually took out a set of clothes from his storage space. His movements were swift yet composed, and he dressed in no time.
He shook his sleeves, stretched his limbs, and then looked at Shangguan Yue, a slight smile playing on his lips, half-jokingly saying:
"How about I offer myself to you?"
"That way I can repay you every day."
"From now on, wherever you go, I'll follow, serving you tea and water, doing your laundry and cooking for you, okay?"
