Chapter 70

"U... Up the table?"

The little six-tailed spirit fox was bewildered, her small eyes blinking.

Was the mighty Silver Moon Demon Emperor, who was so powerful yesterday, going to become a dish on the table tomorrow?

Wouldn't he turn into a pile of feces after some time?

Sigh—

This world is indeed too dangerous.

The six-tailed spirit fox trembled.

"Eh?" Daji looked at the six-tailed spirit fox's buttocks, her face showing surprise, "You're about to grow your seventh tail? I knew that what Lord Li gave you would greatly benefit you!"

The six-tailed spirit fox's eyes narrowed into slits, and she said proudly, "Hehe, I'm about to catch up with you, sister."

Daji's face showed a thoughtful expression, then she suddenly said, "With the Silver Moon Demon Emperor dead, all the demons in the area are in chaos. Why don't you become the Demon Emperor?"

Now, the demons in the area are in great turmoil, howling at night, seriously affecting Lord Li's sleep. This problem must be solved.

Moreover, once her sister becomes the Demon Emperor, she can help Lord Li more, creating the best living environment for his mortal life!

A win-win situation!

Daji's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

However, the smile on the six-tailed spirit fox's face gradually disappeared, almost unable to believe her ears, and her teeth chattered, "D... Demon Emperor?"

"I can't do it!" The six-tailed spirit fox shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Can't you be a bit more ambitious? You're almost a seven-tailed fox, your strength is close to the Out-of-the-Corporeal realm, yet you're still so timid." Daji helplessly patted the six-tailed spirit fox's little head, blaming herself for protecting her too well, leaving her with little combat experience.

The six-tailed spirit fox's tail wrapped around Daji, and she pitifully said, "I don't want to!"

"No way!" Daji's face turned serious, and she said solemnly, "Do you really think you were lucky last night? Those two were sent by the master to save you! The master not only saved you but also gave you a great blessing. If you can't help the master solve problems, what use are you?"

"But... I can't beat them." The six-tailed spirit fox's ears drooped, "Why don't you do it, sister?"

"I need to stay and serve the master." Daji shook her head, her eyes showing deep thought, then said, "Don't worry, listen to me, I'll help you figure it out!"

For Lord Li, she must obtain this position of Demon Emperor!

"By the way, this is the midnight snack I specially prepared for you, a bowl of porridge, some small dishes, and an apple." Daji took out the food and placed it in front of the six-tailed spirit fox.

The little fox's ears perked up, and she immediately started eating with great enthusiasm.

She had tasted the benefits more than once, so she didn't feel the least bit stingy, but rather extremely excited.

If these foods were placed in the outside world, they would definitely be treasures that everyone would fight over!

Most importantly, they not only contained the essence of the Dao but were also incredibly delicious!

"Huff huff!"

The little fox wished she could bury her head in the bowl, her mouth quickly sucking up the food, swallowing so fast it seemed she couldn't keep up.

When she lifted her head again, her white fur was covered with sticky porridge, looking both pitiful and funny.

In the next moment, a small pink tongue extended from the little fox's mouth, sliding around her mouth from the right side.

"Huff—"

The food on her face was instantly wiped clean!

"Delicious, so delicious!" The little fox patted her belly in satisfaction, her eyes forming crescent moons.

Daji lifted her and said, "Don't just savor the taste, hurry up and cultivate to digest it, and work hard to improve your strength!"

"Okay..."

...

The next day, the morning sunlight shone into the forest.

An old man and a woman rode a beam of light and stopped at the foot of the mountain, then began to climb up with a hint of unease.

Lin Qingyun looked around in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that after a few days, the changes here would be so great."

She remembered that last time, due to the nine-tailed fox's tribulation, countless cultivators gathered here, with beams of light flying all over the sky. She didn't expect those cultivators to have left.

But... the number of spirits in the forest seemed to have increased.

And they were very chaotic. Just now, she saw a pig spirit fighting a tiger spirit, with small spirits watching around.

This is under the watchful eye of a great person, what happened?

"Demons are rampant, fighting each other. This is probably due to the lack of a leader." Lin Mufeng frowned and said in confusion, "But this area clearly has the Silver Moon Demon Emperor, how could this happen?"

"Could the Silver Moon Demon Emperor be dead?" Lin Qingyun blurted out.

"How is that possible?" Lin Mufeng laughed and shook his head, "The Silver Moon Demon Emperor has been rampant for over four thousand years, equivalent to a cultivator at the peak of the Fusion stage, and is known for its speed. How could it die? It's too hard to kill."

"Fusion stage!" Lin Qingyun was taken aback.

Although she had always heard of the Silver Moon Demon Emperor, she didn't know it was so powerful.

Her father had just broken through to the Spirit Separation stage, while the Silver Moon Demon Emperor was at the Fusion stage, and even at the peak!

In the absence of Tribulation-stage experts, it represented invincibility!

"This has nothing to do with us. The most important thing now is to visit the great person properly." Lin Mufeng said solemnly, "Tell me again what the great person dislikes!"

Lin Qingyun nodded, feeling nervous at the thought of meeting the great person.

"From what I know, Lord Li has only one taboo: he considers himself a mortal and treats the treasures around him as ordinary things. He doesn't like it when people point this out. Last time, Luo Shiyu offended the great person by calling him 'Senior Li.'"

Lin Mufeng's eyes showed deep thought, then he smiled, "I understand!"

"The great person is likely to have returned to simplicity! He might even have transcended the realm of immortals and attained the Dao! To him, there is no difference between immortals and mortals, and no distinction between treasures and ordinary things."

"It's like how mortals like to make money, but if a mortal in front of you starts shouting about money, you would definitely feel annoyed, because you are not on the same level. In the eyes of the great person, our so-called cultivation is the same, and he naturally doesn't like our ways."

Lin Mufeng's voice was filled with admiration, "The realm of the great person is beyond our understanding. He must have a deeper meaning for his actions. The only thing we can do is to cooperate! Stay calm and by no means offend the great person!"

Soon, the courtyard came into view, "Father, that's it."

Lin Mufeng nodded and exclaimed, "Seemingly hidden yet not hidden, seemingly ordinary yet not ordinary, worthy of being the residence of a great person."

Lin Qingyun walked forward and said respectfully, "Is Lord Li at home?"

After a moment, the door creaked open.

Daji poked her head out and saw Lin Qingyun, saying, "It's you?"

Lin Qingyun naturally recognized Daji and hurriedly bowed, "Qingyun greets Miss Daji."

This is a nine-tailed celestial fox in human form, and she can accompany the great person, making her someone who must not be offended.

Lin Mufeng also knew Daji's identity and quickly said, "I am Qingyun's father, Lin Mufeng, and I greet Miss Daji."

Daji smiled, "No need to be so formal. Thank you for the spirit medicines you sent last time. Please come in."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Lin Qingyun and Lin Mufeng, with devout and anxious hearts, slowly entered the courtyard.

Compared to the last time Lin Qingyun came, the courtyard had changed completely.

In the courtyard, a large black dog lay quietly in the corner, dozing with its eyes half-closed.

By the flowing water, a jade-green artificial hill was placed, shimmering with a strange light.

Around it, various potted plants and exotic flowers bloomed, and Xiao Bai was holding a watering can, watering the plants.

What a peaceful and poetic scene.

However... these potted plants seemed somewhat familiar?
