Chapter 117 The Obsession in My Heart
Chapter 117 The Obsession in My Heart
Since escaping danger, Tao Tao has been like a wild horse, rampaging through everything in her path and devouring anything she sees. The low-level demon beasts are terrified of her; as soon as they hear of a white demon beast, they disappear in a flash, some even digging holes and hiding underground, afraid of being discovered.
As a result, Tao Tao and his group didn't encounter a single demon beast along the way, nor did they run into any disciples from other sects. Zhou Feng's plan to take advantage of Tao Tao and his group's misfortunes also fell through.
Qin Xiyu, on the other hand, was quite content. Although she didn't get more points, she had the nameplate that Tao Tao had given her before, and she had also collected a lot of medicinal herbs along the way. It was a very rewarding experience for her, something she could never have obtained on her own.
Therefore, she was very satisfied and grateful to Tao Tao, and tried her best to refine delicious pills for Tao Tao.
A day and a night passed quickly. He thought it would be difficult, but it was surprisingly easy. Early the next morning, all the participants in the D-level competition were teleported out of the space. As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, Tao Tao saw that Sun Lian was still frozen there. Suddenly, he was full of admiration for the insect-controlling woman.
As for the others, some were dejected, while others smiled like a gentle spring breeze; indeed, people's joys and sorrows are different.
Tao Tao and the others, on the other hand, remained calm, neither overly happy nor overly angry, and everything proceeded as usual.
Tao Tao spent the whole way chasing monsters and didn't get many points, starting with just ten. All four of them didn't have many points, but at least they didn't get none, which was acceptable.
As for the top three in the D-level martial arts arena, unsurprisingly, Ye Lan, Xuan Yuanmingyue, and Zhai Ming from Xiao Huan Peak won the first place. There was no objection to the first place, as the Ye family is a large family, so it is normal for Ye Lan to win the first place. The second place was a little different, but not much, since Xuan Yuanmingyue personally took part, so how could he lose?
Surprisingly, the third place went to Zhai Ming, Su Ye's last disciple. He had never appeared before and was almost forgotten. Unexpectedly, he made Xiao Huan Peak look so good as soon as he appeared. He is truly amazing.
Zhou Feng had gone out of his way to inquire about these people, but found that each of them had a powerful backer, so he simply stopped bothering to investigate further, since they were not people he could even dream of getting close to anyway.
"There are a few more martial arts competitions coming up. Do you want to participate? I heard there's another one that's also a team competition, but it seems to be a maze-type competition, which requires a very strong exploration magic item."
Zhou Feng was so comfortable clinging to Tao Tao that he didn't want to let go. He hoped that Tao Tao and the others could help him get some more points, but unfortunately, Tao Tao had no interest in the upcoming competitions. She had eaten too much food and needed to refine it, so she couldn't participate in the competitions immediately.
"No, I'm tired and want to rest. If you want to go, then go ahead." Tao Tao shook her head and refused. Zhou Feng was quite disappointed. Seeing that Tao Tao wasn't going, he turned his attention to Bai Yan. Bai Yan had already revealed a lot this time, so he couldn't go. He also shook his head, "I'm not interested."
Well, if neither of them is going, does that mean I have to go with Qin Xiyu?
Zhou Feng sighed abruptly, then shrugged and said, "Alright then, I'll go find some things. You guys do as you please. Feel free to call me anytime. Here's a communication talisman, keep it safe."
Before leaving, he even gave Tao Tao a communication talisman, fearing that Tao Tao might not call him when participating in the later martial arts competition.
"Junior Sister Yue, I'll head back now. I probably won't participate in the later competitions. After all, I know my own strength. Thanks a lot for this, Junior Sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten so many points. I can exchange them for a lot of medicinal herbs. I'll give them to you when I've refined some delicious pills."
Upon hearing about food, Tao Tao's eyes lit up. "Great! I'll thank you in advance, senior sister!"
After saying goodbye to Qin Xiyu, Tao Tao returned to Immortal Spirit Valley. Once there, she avoided her master, senior brothers and sisters and went back to her room, where she used telepathy to call out to Bai Yan.
"What is it?" Bai Yan had already returned to the pendant, intending to rest for a while and not come out again for a short time, but when he heard Tao Tao's voice transmission, he immediately appeared.
Tao Tao approached mysteriously, patted the spirit beast pouch, and released Si Xiaoxiao. At this moment, Si Xiaoxiao had transformed back into a snow-white fox, angrily licking her fur. She raised her eyelids and glared at him, angrily scolding, "You still know to let me out! I wonder what kind of spirit beasts were in that pet pouch? They were all fiercer than the last, actually trying to steal my Yuan Dan!"
"Really?" Tao Tao tilted his head, looking puzzled. He thought that his spirit beasts were all very gentle and would never steal someone's inner core.
"Of course! Didn't you see a tuft of fur was pulled out of my tail?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be true. Tao Tao scratched his head and grinned, "Maybe it's because you're an outsider that they're xenophobic."
"Hmph, stop pretending. Tell me, what do you want with me? I'm warning you, I will never serve another master besides my master. You can forget about it."
Si Xiaoxiao was extremely angry, fearing that Tao Tao would take her in as his spirit beast, otherwise why would he bring her back?
Actually, Tao Tao didn't think that much about it. At the time, she was just curious about Si Xiaoxiao and didn't have time to think about anything else, so she could only put her into her pet bag first.
"A nine-tailed fox, but unfortunately it only has three tails. Its cultivation level is too low." Bai Yan glanced at Si Xiaoxiao and gave this conclusion. Si Xiaoxiao was so angry that she immediately transformed into human form, her face turning pale and then red. She was about to curse Bai Yan, but after glancing at his cultivation level, she was stunned and quietly suppressed her anger.
Bai Yan did not conceal his cultivation level. The nine-tailed fox was naturally agile, and although Si Xiaoxiao's cultivation was not good, she still had the ability to judge people, so she dared not act rashly.
"A demon fox? That must be incredibly powerful!" Upon hearing the name "Nine-Tailed Demon Fox," Tao Tao immediately became excited, swallowing hard and looking as if he wanted to devour Si Xiaoxiao whole. This startled Si Xiaoxiao, who took a step back. "You, what do you want to do? Even though I only have three tails, I'm not someone a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like you can refine!"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Tao Tao asked innocently, which made Si Xiaoxiao's fox fur stand on end in anger. "Don't even think about it. If you dare, I'll immediately crush my own core and die rather than become your food!"
This way of dying is too humiliating. She, a dignified nine-tailed fox, cannot bear this. Even if she dies, she must die with dignity.
Seeing her anxious little face, Tao Tao was too lazy to tease her anymore. Suddenly, his smile disappeared, and he asked with a serious expression, "Are you the spirit beast of that ascended senior? Since he has already ascended, why are you still in the human realm?"
Upon hearing this question, Si Xiaoxiao immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, completely lacking in spirit. A bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Perhaps my cultivation is not high enough, and he cannot take me away. But as long as I have the chance, I will definitely cultivate to become a Nine-Tailed Fox and ascend to the Immortal Realm to find him!"
