Chapter 8
Yao Huan positioned herself with her paws, and with a rather impolite flick of her tail, she swept Xiao Lan into the hot spring pool
Yao Huan completely lost control of her body, her brows furrowed, and she could no longer control herself as she heavily crashed to the ground. ... Just before hitting the ground, she was still thinking, she had not yet seen this face ...
That day during cultivation, Xiao Lan Cao howled on the hillside all day long: "Cultivation is an endless pit, I want to grow up, I want to transform, I want to become a beautiful girl"
The fox spirit no longer dared to be careless; she watched the figure of Yao Huan flying towards the cave, letting out a cold snort. Her beautiful face resembled frozen icicles, exuding a somber chill.
This time is different; this time, it is necessary for Xiao Lan to absorb some pure spiritual energy
However, this hot spring is actually too far from the cave of Yao Huan. Moreover, every time I finish soaking in the hot spring, I feel like a cooked dragon, with not even the sound of scales clashing against ice armor. Over time, I have grown less fond of going there.
Yao Huan sensed a hint of malice in the air, and she arrogantly puffed out her chest, glaring at her as sternly as she could: "Stinky fox spirit, you better get away quickly"
On the day of the transformation into a joyful form, the Emperor assigned her a task, instructing her to take the little orchid to soak in the hot springs... Indeed, it was to soak in the hot springs
Every time the Emperor caught her, he would furrow his brows slightly and press his lips together. She always felt that it was due to her lack of skill, fearing punishment from the Emperor, and thus did not even dare to ask for a reason
Before her, there was an arm as white and smooth as jade, with long, slender, fair fingers
However, she still cannot fly too high; every time she just flies over the mountain peak, it feels as if something is invisibly suppressing her, making it impossible for her to even maintain simple balance.
With a few clicks of her tongue, she slapped Xiao Lan in frustration, wishing she could turn her into steel. Her tail whipped around, splashing water from the hot spring pool. The force of her tail was immense, and with a single sweep, the hot spring water drenched the fox demon from head to toe
In a fit of rage, the fierce and menacing spirit suddenly jumped into the hot spring pool
She struggled for a moment, yet had not uprooted the small orchid completely, while her entire dragon was already boiled and floating on the surface of the water
Xiao Lan Cao was clearly taken aback as well. After a while, it frantically slapped its grass leaves against each other, laughing even more wildly: "Hahahahahaha"
The Spirit of the Grass observed the clumsy appearance of the swaying and wagging little creature, shook its own leaves, and laughed heartily while imitating the laughter of the little grass spirit. However, its laughter was rather unpleasant, sounding somewhat jarring.
She has mastered the art of flying with the wind, not the kind of flight that skims along the ground, but a true ascent into the air, moving gracefully with the breeze
Ah. The fox spirit let out a light laugh, seemingly with a hint of regret: "There is a dragon trapped in this mountain, and it is an ignorant dragon at that. If only I could wait for you to grow a bit more, the power of the dragon pearl would likely be even greater. However, I cannot wait any longer; otherwise, I would have to coax you into handing it over to avoid all this trouble."
The dragon's roar shattered the heavens, its sound reverberating through the mountains and forests, startling the entire expanse of woodland into an instant silence
The spirit grass chattered incessantly, and with a splash, it fell into the water, immediately sinking down.
Although her fingers were long, they were not as powerful as dragon claws; at this moment, she found herself unable to use her claws to grip the ground and alleviate the force of her descent
The fox demon, only a few inches away from the joyous dance, was startled upon hearing the mind-reading of the divine grass, causing it to pause momentarily. The dragon, which was almost within reach, managed to fly a little further away.
Yao Huan awkwardly laughed twice; she certainly could not tell this fox demon that she often listened at the wall and had long been on guard...
In addition, Yao Huan has also learned defense. She is now in her original form, making it quite easy for her to learn these skills
She fell several times, and each time it was the Emperor who caught her
She raised her paw and slapped the little orchid, saying: "Why aren't you mocking her at this moment!"
Yao Huan was taken aback; just as she leaned over the edge of the hot spring pool, the water lily suddenly emerged from the surface, splashing water all over her face with a series of "puff puff puff" sounds. Seeing Yao Huan drenched and unable to open her eyes, the water lily playfully flapped its leaves a few times and imitated the fox spirit's soft giggle, "kekekeke".
That gaze... was as frighteningly intense as that of a fox spirit about to devour the man she had abducted from the foot of the mountain
She panicked as she tried to steady herself, but when she raised her paw, an unusual sensation drew all her attention away.
Of course, when it speaks recklessly, it inevitably faces the harsh consequences of being ruthlessly trampled under the might of a king.
As the laughter of the little blue grass subsided, it paused for a moment, then twirled its blades and joyfully exclaimed: "Roast dragon tail, roast dragon tail, roast dragon tail!"
She sat cross-legged on the withered yellow grass, gazing with a beaming smile at the petrified joy, her smile akin to the first ray of morning light in the mountain stream, warm and bright
Upon perceiving the thoughts of the fox spirit, the swift grass was nearly driven to the brink of its spiritual essence, unable to contain itself, it began to chirp incessantly, causing great annoyance and disturbance to the joyful heart.
However, it seems that this is not the time to be concerned about that
Cultivation is an exceedingly tedious endeavor, at least in the case of Yao Huan
It is somewhat embarrassing to mention... She is the one who has listened to the corner's fox spirit countless times
Thus, the motivation for the cultivation of joy transformed from growth into transformation.
With her tail wrapped around Xiao Lan, she swiftly rode the wind. Just as they flew out for about two li, the fox demon suddenly pounced, coming on strong. Yao Huan narrowly dodged this attack, no longer daring to underestimate the fox demon, and plunged into the woods behind the mountain.
Xiao Lan seemed to sense her unusual behavior and chirped a few worried sounds. Then, imitating the voice of a fox demon, she said: "Once I catch you, I will pluck all your dragon scales and extract all your dragon tendons for daring to tease me"
She gradually felt the spiritual energy within her begin to fill up, no longer like before, when no matter how much natural spiritual energy she absorbed, it would completely dissipate.
In this landscape blanketed with white snow, his sharp features gradually softened, resembling the gentle breeze of March.
The fox spirit walks with a grace that is enchanting and alluring; if one were to speak of the most beautiful among the fairies, it would undoubtedly be the fox spirit clan. She approached the hot spring, gently scooping up a handful of water, which felt pleasantly warm against her palm. Suddenly, she broke into a smile, narrowing her eyes as she gazed at the dancing joy.
After hearing the Emperor's words about the origins of the little orchid, Yao Huan felt an extraordinary empathy and took even greater care of this spirit grass, which had yet to awaken its intelligence and could only repeat the thoughts of others.
Yao Huan rolled over, straining to keep the dragon's body upright, and warily looked towards the unexpected guest that had suddenly appeared
The fox demon, caught off guard and drenched, let out a sharp scream, staring in disbelief at the shaking joy that was about to escape with a tail wrapped around the spirit grass: "I clearly set a restriction to prevent you from moving..."
Her record of misconduct at the Emperor's place is truly extensive, to the extent that after Yao Huan officially began her cultivation, the Emperor became particularly strict with every one of her requests
The fog mirror has already been able to transform into a human form
Upon reaching the back mountain, Yao Huan first took pictures of the formation that the Emperor had taught her by the hot spring pool one by one
"Do not laugh," said Yao Huan, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at it fiercely. "If you laugh like this in front of the Emperor, he will find out that I secretly took you to eavesdrop on the fox demon."
Upon hearing the words "Dragon Ball," Yao Huan looked at the fox demon with a puzzled expression and asked, "What Dragon Ball?"
The fox demon has only a few hundred years of cultivation, yet she is the most feared spirit by the revelers in this mountain... This is because she constantly worries that one day, if her eavesdropping is discovered, her imposing image as a tyrannical dragon among the other demons will instantly collapse, and her authority will be reduced to nothing
There is such a good gentleman, whose progress in joy is rapid.
It was a winter morning when Yao Huan, yawning, walked out of the cave and saw a girl in her prime, curled up in the place that was originally shrouded in mist, soundly asleep. The branches of the locust tree, bent low, gently shielded her from the cold wind that still carried the chill of the morning.
After the fog mirror transformation, it was so beautiful that even the joyful ones were somewhat hesitant to recognize it
I have waited for so long, and finally, I have witnessed the Dragon Maiden transform, allowing me to obtain the Dragon Pearl. She chuckled softly, her fingertips rising and falling several times, completely trapping the joyous Yan in the hot spring pool: "Truly, heaven is assisting me; the Emperor is unexpectedly absent today."
The Xiaolan grassland is not an ordinary grass; it is called the Divine Movement Grass. It is born with a spiritual vein, which is why its awakening is somewhat slower than that of other living beings
Upon hearing the sound, the tail was about to straighten, and the scales all over the body stood on end, fleeing even faster
Her entire body felt as if a flame was burning in her chest from the hot spring, and if she had been wearing clothes, she would have wished to strip them off completely at that moment
Meanwhile, Yao Huan felt her body go limp, and she fell completely down. All the spiritual energy within her seemed to have been exhausted, with no response whatsoever
Not long after this thought emerged, she heard a delicate and charming light laugh coming from a few steps away
The hot spring is located on the hillside of the back mountain, in the valley where the spiritual energy is most abundant.
The idle emperor leaned against the locust tree, his fingertips adorned with the glistening drops falling from the sky. He absentmindedly toyed with them, yet his gaze was fixed on Yao Huan, who was diligently practicing.
Many fairies fought fiercely among themselves to seize this precious cultivation land, resulting in severe injuries. However, later, after Yao Huan sneaked in and took a bath, she felt it was a waste to let it go to ruin, and directly snatched it away from the hands of the other fairies
It must be dealt with before the Emperor is aware, otherwise there will be endless troubles
She suddenly abandoned her ability to ride the wind, and all the spiritual energy sank into her chest, in that place that burned and made her tremble all over, suddenly letting out a dragon's roar
Who does not know that she is all pink and tender from soaking in the hot spring, truly lacking any semblance of intimidation
Perhaps it was the intensity of Yaohuan's gaze that roused Wujing from her dreams. A thin layer of snow still covered her eyelashes, and with each blink, the snowflakes fell, disappearing without a trace in the next moment
It was supposed to grow by the edge of Tianchi, yet for some unknown reason, it grew beside a tree devoid of any spirit, and particularly unfortunate, it was struck by a tail, leaving it partially incapacitated
The gentle breeze in the mountains arrives slowly, but unfortunately, it does nothing to alleviate her discomfort
Yao Huan was criticized for her ignorance, which made her somewhat unhappy
As I gaze at the sky in delight, I suddenly feel the urge to strangle this miraculous herb
Absolutely must not face down
Fortunately, the Emperor did not intend to hold her accountable
As soon as she jumped in, she was stunned ... ? ... How could the temperature of this hot spring water become so high ?
Xiao Lan's two blades of grass trembled as if they were about to part ways, leaving no room for conversation.
At that moment, a sharp pain surged through her back. Taking advantage of her astonishment, the fox demon had already flown up, using all five fingers, and its sharp claws immediately tore through Yaohuan's back, causing a searing pain.
