Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Did I Praise You?
At this moment, Qing Yue walked over to Jiangli, “Abbot, you flatter me.”
Jiangli raised an eyebrow and retorted, “Did I praise you?”
Qing Yue: “???
He looked at Jiangli with a smile.
Jiangli made a clicking sound and said, “I was just explaining to them the basics of the demon clan. Suppressing this fox demon is expected. If you can’t even subdue a fox demon with less than a century’s Cultivation Base, you might as well retrain yourself.”
Hearing this, Qing Yue laughed instead of getting angry, “Abbot, you truly speak without mercy, but after all, I did help you, couldn’t you at least give me some praise?”
Jiangli smiled slightly, “I’m sorry, I don’t compliment people. Besides, don’t you still owe me a life debt?”
Qing Yue knew she was referring to the incident on Jade Mountain and nodded with a smile, “Indeed, I owe you a favor.”
Jiangli acknowledged with a hum and stopped bantering with Qing Yue. She turned her head to look at the whimpering Red Fox on the ground. She walked over.
When she got to the Red Fox, the smile on Jiangli’s face completely vanished.
Qing Yue also walked over at this time and said meaningfully, “This Red Fox has been cultivating for less than a hundred years, yet it can take human form and possesses such strong demon power. It seems it has encountered a magical opportunity.”
Jiangli could tell that Qing Yue’s words had a deeper implication.
She looked at the Red Fox, her eyes slightly cold.
She understood clearly that Qing Yue’s words made sense.
Moreover…
She even felt her own power on the Red Fox.
Thinking of this, Jiangli reached out her hand and touched the Red Fox, her Spiritual Power probing carefully.
However…
After a thorough search, Jiangli did not find her Spiritual Bone on the Red Fox.
There was only a trace of Spiritual Energy of the same origin as hers swirling within the fox.
Jiangli withdrew her hand and looked coldly at the Red Fox, asking directly, “You, fox, since you’ve obtained a magical opportunity, you should have cultivated properly. Why did you come among humans to help her harm others?”
The Red Fox lifted its drooping eyelids and glanced at Jiangli, clearly understanding that the ‘her’ Jiangli referred to was Su Zitong.
It let out a low whimper and didn’t speak.
Jiangli impatiently said, “I don’t have much patience to play with you. Considering the connection between us, answer well and I won’t kill you. If you really push me, you won’t be as lucky as you are now.”
The Red Fox’s eyes showed some unwillingness and disdain, as if it looked down on Jiangli.
Jiangli didn’t expect even she could be looked down upon one day.
She let out a cold chuckle and pressed her palm down.
The Red Fox then felt as if something was pressing on it, followed by a strong suction force gradually stripping its Spiritual Power away.
The Red Fox suddenly started to tremble and let out a painful scream.
The next second, it began to speak in squeaky tones, as if it hadn’t spoken much human language before, the intonation was a bit strange, but everyone could still hear it clearly.
“Su, Su Zitong is my benefactor. I, I’m here to repay the debt…”
Hearing this, Jiangli slightly raised her hand, and the roiling Spiritual Power in her palm settled. She asked with a blank expression, “She did you a favor? She’s just an ordinary little girl. What kind of favor could she do for you?”
Upon hearing this, the Red Fox with difficulty turned its head to look through the large floor-to-ceiling window at Su Zitong inside the room, hoarsely saying, “She saved me…”
Jiangli’s eyebrows slightly moved, quietly waiting for the red fox to continue.
The Red Fox lay on the ground, its breath growing weaker. It said it was originally a small fox from Jin Mountain, accidentally found a blessed grotto, and obtained a magical opportunity. The fox, less than a century old, suddenly had its Cultivation Base increased dramatically. The surge of powerful Spiritual Power caused it so much pain that it fainted.
