Chapter 52: Transform—Nine-Tailed Fox King Form!

‘Sisters, that was so scary!’

Because her cultivation level was not yet high enough, Su Li’er’s running speed was not fast. Even though she had used all her strength, she still quickly heard calls from behind her in the alley.

—”Little Li, where are you?”

—”Please reply if you receive this, child!”

Coming from two different directions, they were gradually approaching her.

‘No, no, no, I have to run faster!’

‘Is there any way?’

‘Great nine-tailed fox king, think of a way, ahhhh!’

‘I… I have it!’

‘I’m the great nine-tailed fox king!’

‘I can turn into a fox!’

No sooner said than done. Su Li’er transformed herself back into her fox form using a transformation technique she was not very familiar with.

With a ‘swoosh’, white smoke filled the air.

Soon, a streak of light shot out from the smoke at an extremely fast speed.

It was a snow-white little fox with nine tails, fluffy fur, and a pair of pink pupils. It looked clever and very human-like.

Run, run, run!

‘I have to say, four-wheel drive is much faster than two-wheel drive…’

But soon, Su Li’er discovered a problem… damn it, where is the exit of this maze?

‘Which way should I go???’

At a fork in the road, Su Li’er, oh no, she should be called the great nine-tailed fox king now, chose to turn back.

Because the road here was getting more and more unfamiliar, it was obviously not the direction she came from.

The great nine-tailed fox king once again turned into a streak of light, shuttling through the alley. From time to time, a few snow-white fox hairs would fall behind her.

In her vision, the intricate and complex alley finally became clear. The light was soft, and on the walls on both sides were flyers for the Wishing General Store. That’s right, I’ve finally found the way!

Charge!!!

‘Get out of this damn place quickly!!!’

‘Eh?’

‘Did I just see the big ice cold Sect Master?

Because she was going too fast, the great nine-tailed fox king squinted her eyes and charged forward. She didn’t even see clearly that she had just brushed past a familiar and beautiful figure, with a faint cool minty scent and familiar black hair…

‘Ho… holy crap!?’

It really is the Sect Master!

—Song Ruoxue felt very strange.

Why did a gust of wind suddenly rush past her? She thought it was her junior sister, but when she looked closely, she found that it was a small animal… a fox!?

‘A fox?’

Song Ruoxue rubbed her eyes, squinted, and turned around, staring intently at the ‘little white dot’ that was getting farther and farther away.

‘If I’m not mistaken… that fox has many tails?’

‘Could it be… that nine-tailed fox!?’

The moment this thought appeared, Song Ruoxue felt a sense of confusion. This is the Flower City Pharmacy, buried deep in the alleys. Let’s not even talk about whether that nine-tailed fox can find this place. This small pharmacy… would it attract that nine-tailed fox shop owner?

‘Could it be that she followed me all the way from the Sword Sect?’

But from beginning to end, I never sensed any tracking aura…’

‘Even if that nine-tailed fox shop owner is that powerful, she can’t be that good at hiding, right?’

‘What on earth… is going on?’

Song Ruoxue wanted to convince herself that she had seen wrong.

But she knew very well that what had just brushed past her was indeed a white fox with many tails. Such a rare demon-kin… ‘I’m afraid that in this world, there is really only that shop owner.’

As she thought this, a great sense of unease and confusion was followed by an endless wave of annoyance.

A very bad feeling.

Something is gradually getting out of control… Song Ruoxue hated this feeling, but she couldn’t find the reason.

“Song Ruoxue, what are you spacing out for?” Tang Yingyue walked over, puzzled. “Did you find Su Li’er?”

“No.” Song Ruoxue shook her head. “Did you see it just now?”

“No, I haven’t seen her.”

“No, there was a… forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

“No? What do you mean? Just finish what you have to say.”

Tang Yingyue felt the urge to breathe fire.

Song Ruoxue’s tightly knitted brows did not relax for a long time. Anyone could see her unease.

“Oh, Sect Master Song, Princess Tang, you’re still here?” Bai Ningning came up from behind with a smile, waving her hand gently.

“Doctor Bai.” Song Ruoxue nodded. Her simple to the extreme social etiquette was always her style.

“You two can chat. I have something urgent to attend to.” Bai Ningning shrank her body and squeezed past from the side, then she gently turned her head and nodded. “Then I’ll be leaving first. See you later.”

“Why isn’t she wearing her glasses again?” Tang Yingyue murmured.

“Useless dragon,” Song Ruoxue snorted coldly.

“No? This is useless too?” Tang Yingyue raised her eyebrows in protest.

“You can’t see anything, you can’t find anything, and you’re so thoughtless. If you’re not useless, who is?” Song Ruoxue said indifferently.

Of course, there was some personal grudge in these words.

Tang Yingyue could tell.

So… the alley suddenly became heated, and the killing intent soared.

****

Fox!

That was close.

‘I’ve finally found a safe place.’

Su Li’er curled up her body, using her nine tails as her pillow, and slept comfortably.

She had not yet undone her great nine-tailed fox king form.

—Because she was hiding in a carriage.

To be precise, it was an unattended carriage, parked on the side of the road in Flower City. The back of the carriage was covered with layers of hay. She had crawled in and found that there was a whole new world inside. There were a few huge wooden boxes at the bottom, so there was plenty of space at the bottom.

Su Li’er was comfortably hidden inside.

‘I’m exhausted.’

‘Really exhausted.’

‘I feel like I’ve run a lifetime of marathons.’

She had been in a state of high tension all day. Su Li’er finally relaxed at this moment. Once she relaxed, fatigue swept over her whole body like a torrential river, never stopping.

“Awoo~~”

She let out a foxy yawn.

Her jewel-like eyes were slightly narrowed, as lazy as a ball of fluffy dough.

‘Mmm… I’ll just rest for a while, just a little while. Anyway, it’s still very dangerous to go out now… I’ll go out later.’

‘How should I explain to the big ice block Sect Master when I get back?’

‘And my great nine-tailed fox king form was seen by the Sect Master… will I be suspected?’

Annoyance, anxiety, all sorts of emotions swirled in Su Li’er’s mind. My head is going to explode!

Soon, a very faint snoring sound was heard from under the hay in the carriage.

It was noon, and the sky was bright. The thin layer of snow on the ground had melted. There were gradually more pedestrians, and the tricycles parked on the side of the road, as well as the carriages loaded with various goods, began to move.

—”Hey, what do you think is in this carriage?”

—”Probably some kind of weapon that the Heavenly Thunder Mansion is sending to the adults? In any case, we have to be careful. While there are a lot of people and it’s chaotic now, we’ll send it over to the adults.”

Rumble, rumble.

The wheels began to turn, and the carriage jolted and swayed.

In the bustling streets, such a granary carriage would not attract anyone’s attention.

Nor would it attract Su Li’er’s attention, because she was already asleep, and she was sleeping very soundly.

—”By the way, should we take down the hay and check the goods? I have a feeling that someone has touched the hay, it’s a little flattened.”

—”Nonsense. If it had been touched, there would be scraps on the ground. It was probably pressed down by the snow. Don’t worry about it, just drive the horse quickly.”

The faint sound of conversation, as well as the jolting from under her body, gradually brought Su Li’er to her senses.

‘Mmm… what’s going on, an earthquake?’

This rhythmic jolting, and the crisp sound of the wheels…

The bewildered Su Li’er was instantly awakened.

‘No!’

‘The carriage is moving!?’

‘Where is it going???’
