Chapter 13

Under the vast night sky, the enormous azure floating mountain rode the wind and waves, advancing toward the distant eastern sea. Several curious black and white giant whales chased after this massive entity, occasionally revealing their massive backs in the waves.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva..." In a room on the lower level of the floating mountain, Mei Xue held his sword properly and softly recited the Heart Sutra taught by Master Huiguo.

Gradually, his heartbeat and breathing synchronized with the faint sound of the waves, bringing his mind and body into a tranquil rhythm.

This was commonly known as meditation, a technique for cultivating spiritual awareness used by both Buddhists and Taoists. The Heart Sutra was just a starting point, guiding one into deep breathing.

Unconsciously, Mei Xue maintained the meditative breathing rhythm and fell into a dream. Sleep in this state was several times more effective than normal sleep, leaving him refreshed and full of energy upon waking.

"Hehe, finally asleep!" The little fox that had been hiding beside Mei Xue jumped out, revealing a slightly evil smile.

She had finally waited for this moment. Why had she endured so much to maintain the form of a little fox? Was it to be kept as a pet?

No! She wanted to figure out what had happened to Mei Xue, what had made him forget her, even though they had made a promise.

This was something ordinary people couldn't do, but who was she? She was Qingqiu Jiuyue, a great fox with the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox.

The first bloodline ability, "Charm," was prepared for moments like this. A mere Mei Xue would absolutely have no chance to resist her supreme ability.

"Alright, let's see if I can win this!" Qingqiu Jiuyue transformed back into her human form and quietly cast an illusionary spell in Mei Xue's room to avoid drawing attention. This way, no one entering the room would notice anything strange.

Moreover, as the true owner of the floating mountain, she had used her authority to arrange Mei Xue's room in the most secluded corner of the lower level. Who would come to such a place in the middle of the night?

"Get up, get up." In her human form, Qingqiu Jiuyue pushed Mei Xue's body without any courtesy. With no one around, she could do whatever she wanted to the mere Mei Xue.

"Hmm?" Mei Xue woke up from his hazy dream and saw the cute and lovely fox girl in front of him.

Her name, he remembered, was Qingqiu Jiuyue, the beautiful girl who had left a slight impression on him during their first meeting.

However, he didn't recognize her.

"Look into my eyes." Qingqiu Jiuyue's eyes began to show a green vortex, like a deity, like a demon.

That was the basic innate ability of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, "Charm." Despite its ordinary name, this ability had boundless potential when cultivated deeply.

A single smile could topple mountains and rivers; the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox's reputation as a supreme beauty was built on this ability. Among the nine innate abilities of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, this was the only one without a limit.

Many demons in the seas and mountains possessed this ability, but only the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox could push it to a level that could shock heaven and earth.

Thus, despite not being ranked, this ability was renowned among demons, known as the signature ability of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox.

It was said, just said, that in the distant past, a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox named "Daji" used this ability to cause a world-shaking disaster, controlling the fate of the nation.

Of course, that was a legendary great demon who had completed the nine-tailed form, far beyond the reach of the two-tailed Qingqiu Jiuyue.

In fact, the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox had almost become a legend in the seas and mountains. The last demon to awaken this bloodline was ten thousand years ago, and even then, only reached the six-tailed stage before perishing, a legend in the history of the fox demon clan.

Thus, despite having only two tails, Qingqiu Jiuyue held the highest status in the fox demon clan, a princess in name but with the authority to rival the clan leader.

To ordinary fox demons, Qingqiu Jiuyue, with the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, possessed an innate and unshakable authority, a memory etched in their blood.

With such immense power, Qingqiu Jiuyue naturally felt that dealing with a mere Mei Xue would be a piece of cake. Once her "Charm" ability was used, this ordinary human boy would surely reveal even what kind of underwear he wore as a child.

However, one minute passed, two minutes passed, ten minutes passed... Qingqiu Jiuyue's eyes were about to spin, but Mei Xue still politely looked at the uninvited guest, showing no signs of being affected.

What, what was going on? After ten minutes of staring at each other, Qingqiu Jiuyue was completely stunned, her divine eyes turning into blank, cute circles.

"So late, is there something you need?" Mei Xue finally broke the strange staring contest, unaware that he had utterly shattered the great Qingqiu Princess's pride.

Ineffective! Ineffective! What was going on! This was the "Charm" ability, and it was being used by a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox with the highest charm talent.

"You... you'll remember this!" Qingqiu Jiuyue ran out of Mei Xue's room in tears, her eyes overused, and she couldn't stop crying, feeling an inexplicable headache.

These were the tears of the first genius beauty, the Qingqiu Princess, and if the young fox demons who admired her saw this, they would tear Mei Xue apart to vent their anger.

"What, what did I do?" Mei Xue felt very wronged.

He really did nothing. He had just fallen asleep and was woken up, then stared at by this uninvited fox girl, and now he was being unjustly hated.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form." After reciting the Buddhist mantra a few times to dispel the bad luck, Mei Xue entered a meditative state again.

He didn't notice that when Qingqiu Jiuyue used the "Charm" ability on him, the plain wooden body of the Great Freedom Wisdom Sword he carried naturally revealed golden Sanskrit characters, and then the Qingqiu Princess met her tragic fate.

If she had any evil intentions, she would have been even more unfortunate. Even a nine-tailed supreme beauty, a legendary great demon capable of toppling mountains and rivers, would be powerless against this sword.

This sword represented great freedom, great wisdom, and the heart of enlightenment, capable of removing all suffering, truly and without falsehood, the natural enemy of all charm and mind-control abilities. Even the legendary "Daji" who had toppled the nation would be helpless against it.

But Qingqiu Jiuyue didn't give up. The meat was right in front of her, her beloved was right there, and the future greatest Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't stumble here.

So, in the second half of the night, after recovering from her headache, Qingqiu Jiuyue returned, targeting the soundly sleeping Mei Xue.

If "Charm" was ineffective, she would use her newly cultivated second ability, the "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water," one of the top ten great abilities in the seas and mountains.

Flowers blooming in the mirror, the moon reflected in the water, neither in the mirror nor in the water, seeming real yet illusory, like a dream, this was "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water," a magical ability with boundless power. Since awakening this ability, Qingqiu Jiuyue had become uncontrollable.

Among the nine innate abilities of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water" was the most versatile, living up to its reputation as the tenth-ranked magical ability in the seas and mountains, a recognized powerful ability that only a few demons and humans could awaken.

In the fox demon clan, when facing someone of lower cultivation, a single "Charm" would knock them down 99% of the time. When facing someone of higher cultivation, she would immediately use "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water" to escape, and no one except the clan leader and a few black fox elders could catch her, giving her true freedom.

"This time, see if you can escape!" Since she hadn't fully mastered it, using the "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water" ability meant she couldn't maintain her human form. So, she sneaked up to Mei Xue in her fox form and毫不犹豫地对他发动了“花月梦醒”中的特殊法门。

这是一种可以潜入别人梦境，偷看到别人记忆的法门。不过小狐狸的野心更大，她要彻底弄清楚在梅雪身上发生了什么，这两年他到底遭遇了什么不幸。

是的，她比谁都明白，梅雪绝对不会无缘无故变成现在这样，一定发生了什么大事，足以改变梅雪人生的大事。

在云雾缭绕的群山大地上，沉睡的衔烛之龙懒洋洋地睁开了一只眼睛，然后看到了那只不知死活对梅雪发动入梦术的小狐狸。

“金毛玉面九尾狐……原来还有幸存的小家伙……嗯，坑她一把不客气。”不负责任地决定了小狐狸的不幸命运后，衔烛之龙吹了口气，将刚刚潜入梦境中的小狐狸的神识和梅雪的神识凑在一起，吹向了西边的某个地方。

“拿不拿得到就看你自己了，小家伙。”顺手将梅雪和小狐狸都坑了一把后，伟大的烛龙大人继续淡定地呼呼大睡。

………………

梅雪睁开眼睛，发现自己到了一个熟悉的地方。

这里是他求学的地方，天台山的脚下。这里的一草一木他都无比熟悉，就像自己身体的一部分。

不过，为什么感觉身体有些怪怪的？

梅雪伸出自己的手，发现自己的手指不知什么时候变得洁白无瑕，一点也不像是常年和草药打交道的药师的手。

然后，脑袋上好像多了什么东西，梅雪摸了摸，发现了从未在自己身上见过的陌生物体。

那是一对尖尖的，柔软的耳朵。
