Thinking of this, the Fox Spirit immediately stood up, looking at Zhang Chen with a bright smile: "It’s just digging, isn’t it? There’s nothing to worry about!" After speaking, it transformed into a snow-white Fox Spirit, with fur that was shiny and smooth, without a speck of dust, looking just like a freshly bathed mozaiah. But at this moment, the beautiful scene was shattered, as the Fox Spirit kicked the ground with its paws and began to dig. In an instant, dust flew up, directly towards Zhang Chen’s face, startling Zhang Chen who didn’t have time to dodge, ending up with a face full of dust. "This Fox Spirit did it on purpose; it’s really unruly." Zhang Chen looked at the Fox Spirit, took a deep breath, and kept reminding himself: "Don’t be angry! Don’t be angry! Taming such an unruly Fox Spirit would be truly interesting." Then Zhang Chen sat aside, mulling over runes while supervising the Fox Spirit to prevent it from being lazy. "Hey, can you help a bit? I dig in the front, you expand in the back and help carry the soil, we can save a lot of time," suddenly, Fox Fairy Nannan’s head emerged from the hole, speaking to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing the words: "Makes sense." Then Zhang Chen started to help. When Fox Fairy Nannan had dug two meters deep, she climbed out from the pit, transformed into human form, and stood across from Zhang Chen with a dirt-smeared face, a grievance in her eyes: "I’m tired." "Rest if you’re tired, we’re not in a hurry," Zhang Chen comforted the Fox Spirit with a cheerful smile. The Fox Spirit dusted off the dirt from herself and only began to meditate after getting rid of all the dust. Soon, an hour passed, and Zhang Chen’s magical power was depleted, forcing him and Fox Fairy Nannan to exit the Spiritual World. "Today’s harvest was substantial!" Zhang Chen opened his eyes in the room, lit the oil lamp to read, but the next moment, his stomach growled loudly, feeling unbelievably hungry today. He was so hungry! The kind of hunger that was unbearable. "How strange, why am I so hungry today?" Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 Resisting the hunger, Zhang Chen practiced writing under the lamplight, but after a cup of tea’s time, he was so hungry that his body started to tremble, and sweat began to pour out. "Could it be that my spirit’s intense exertion while digging in the Spiritual World affected my physical qi blood consumption?" Zhang Chen pondered briefly, having deduced the reason, and touched his rumbling stomach: "So hungry! Maybe I shouldn’t steal meat, but sneaking some snacks from the side hall should be fine, right? Hopefully, I won’t get caught, right? Can’t be that unlucky, right?" With a thought in his mind, Zhang Chen summoned Fox Fairy Nannan, and before he could speak, Fox Fairy Nannan said directly: "No need to instruct, I’ll find food for you." "How did you know I was about to look for food?" Zhang Chen looked at Fox Fairy Nannan, surprised. "In the dead of night, whenever you summon me, isn’t it always for food?" Fox Fairy Nannan replied grumpily. "Be careful, a Great Cultivator from the Yellow Heaven Dao is stationed in the Daoist Temple; don’t let him discover your movements. This time don’t go to the kitchen, just head over to the nearby side hall and grab some snacks," Zhang Chen instructed Fox Fairy Nannan. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Fox Fairy Nannan transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the courtyard. Meanwhile, inside Xie Lingyun’s bamboo tower, after yet another confrontation, Xie Lingyun absorbed the Incense Qi and dissolved the black light before concluding. After washing up, Xie Lingyun looked at the bright moon in the sky, unable to fall asleep for a moment. "Time is running out for me." Xie Lingyun sighed quietly, her voice filled with helplessness: "Others are desperately cultivating, eager to break through, but me? I’m constantly destroying my own cultivation, preventing myself from breaking through." The reflection of the moon in Xie Lingyun’s pupil made her face appear even more ashen and bloodless. "I inherited my father’s talent, and later through a fortuitous encounter with this mystery, I entered meditation at three, emerged at four, night traveled at five, day traveled at six, exorcised at eight, and now, eight years later, just to avoid breaking through to Possession, I’ve sealed myself in every possible way, bitterly suppressing myself for eight years. I cultivated the Visualization Technique that came with that mystery, unintentionally nurturing a Celestial Demon, awaiting the day I break through to Possession so it might take over my body and replace me in living. If it weren’t for the power of Calming Incense, calamity would have already fallen upon me." Xie Lingyun’s heart was full of bitterness. What can she do? She is also very helpless! Her rapid breakthrough, the firm foundations, she too is troubled! Especially in recent years, she’s constantly abandoning her cultivation to suppress her realm, repeatedly slashing it away, yet all the discarded power fuelled the Celestial Demon, until now her realm can be slashed no more, she knows her greatest catastrophe has arrived. "Everyone says I’m a prodigy, but who knows the troubles of a prodigy? Being a prodigy isn’t that easy either." Unsettled, unable to sleep, Xie Lingyun descended her tower and wandered aimlessly within the Daoist Temple. The night had turned to the latter half, the world silent except for the occasional clink of iron armor from patrol soldiers disturbing the peace in the darkness. Walking under the shadows of trees in the Daoist Temple, Xie Lingyun looked at its tranquility, a faint mysterious glint flickering in her eyes as she pondered something. At this moment, a figure in white appeared suddenly, catching Xie Lingyun’s attention. That figure moved stealthily holding a package, walking like a thief on the Daoist Temple’s paths. "A woman? And a very beautiful woman?" Xie Lingyun glanced at the sneaky woman in white, momentarily stunned, often considering her beauty unparalleled, yet looking at this woman inexplicably feeling herself lacking femininity. The woman in white was extremely beautiful, her figure extremely graceful. In terms of sheer looks, she wouldn’t be outmatched, but somehow this woman exuded a charm that all men liked, causing Xie Lingyun to lose composure for a moment. "No way! This woman is a Soul Emergence!" Looking again, Xie Lingyun suddenly noticed something, this woman wasn’t a physical body, but a Soul Emergence. Daoist Temple, night, woman, Soul Emergence, package; these elements combined invite thoughts. Hence, Xie Lingyun pondered briefly, a black qi mechanism circulating around her, leaving her body behind while her soul emerged, slowly following. If she followed physically, it would surely cause a stir, alerting the Fox Spirit. But having cultivated a marvelous technique that lends her Celestial Demon Power, if she emerges as a soul, not even a Yin God Strong Person would notice her presence. Fox Fairy Nannan walked stealthily in the dark, completely unaware of being tracked. Fox Fairy Nannan used a cloth bag to carry the snacks and reached Zhang Chen’s room. She threw the bag directly onto the table: "Mission accomplished, I’ve brought back the snacks." "Was your presence noticed?" Zhang Chen asked. "Of course not, rest assured of my skills; if I act, how could there be mistakes?" said Fox Fairy Nannan smugly. While they were speaking, the talisman placed on the table in front of Zhang Chen suddenly emitted a light, the Light of the True God burst forth piercing the night. "Hmm?" Zhang Chen was taken aback by the sudden change, and Fox Fairy Nannan was also puzzled. "I’ve fortified my talisman with the Light of the True God, naturally granting it an Automatic Cruise feature; just now, it actually launched an attack automatically, could there be a strange presence passing by? Or was Fox Fairy Nannan followed?" Zhang Chen’s heart trembled.
