Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Blessed Land and Celestial Grotto
When the Red Fox awoke again, it was barely clinging to life, feeling as if it was about to be consumed from within by the rampant Spiritual Power.
It didn’t know what was happening, but instinctively, it wanted to leave that place.
It felt that staying there any longer, that place would no longer be a celestial hideaway, but a land of death.
It dragged its body, struggling to leave, and in its confusion, it stumbled into a crowd.
At that time, the spring was radiant; Jin Mountain was a famous scenic spot in J City, with a sea of blooming flowers and peach groves at the foot of the mountain, attracting many people to go spring outing every spring and summer.
It accidentally intruded into human territory, and upon realizing this, tried to carefully hide itself, but was discovered by Su Zitong.
Back then, Su Zitong was only three or four years old, chubby and adorable, understanding nothing, and mistook it for a cat, meowing at it repeatedly.
Seeing it lying still, Su Zitong ran back with quick steps, brought her children’s milk and bread, and tossed them in front of it.
Perhaps, at that time, Su Zitong had no idea what her actions meant, or maybe it was simple curiosity about the unknown.
Yet, her unintentional gesture was nothing short of a lifesaving grace for the Red Fox.
It ate what Su Zitong offered, caught its breath, and regained some strength before running back to the mountains to quell the rampant Spiritual Power within.
At that time, seeing it eating, Su Zitong again ran back excitedly to her parents, stammering and mumbling about something, seemingly wanting to adopt the Red Fox.
But the Red Fox dared not interact with humans, and by the time Su Zitong returned with her parents, it had already fled deep into the mountains.
Perhaps it was destined fate, or perhaps its life was not meant to end.
After returning, it cultivated for half a year; not only did it not die, but it also successfully transformed with the help of the sudden surge of Spiritual Power.
However, it didn’t transform into a human, but into a fox doll, appearing before Su Zitong.
Su Zitong seemed to like it very much and took it home without a second thought; she wanted to be with it at all times.
Once, Su Zitong, speaking to it by chance, complained about classmates not liking her and dirtying her dress; she wished that classmate would never come to school again.
The Red Fox, meant to repay kindness, upon hearing Su Zitong’s words, wanted to fulfill her wish.
“So, you targeted Su Zitong’s classmate?” Jiangli furrowed his brows.
The Red Fox whimpered as it nodded, admitting it.
It caused that classmate to have a car accident, suffering severe injuries; her family took her abroad for treatment and never returned.
Su Zitong, in her innocence, seemed unaware of what had happened.
She did not realize it was the Red Fox’s doing.
But it wasn’t long before Su Zitong again complained to the Red Fox about her teacher being harsh and thinking she was dumb, saying the teacher was the dumbest one and if she were a magical princess, she would turn the teacher into a big fool so he couldn’t scorn her anymore.
Soon after, Su Zitong received news that her teacher had accidentally fallen, injuring his head, and truly became childlike, in a daze.
Holding it, Su Zitong seemed to realize something, and from then on, frequently made wishes or rather—demands to the Red Fox.
“You indulged her in this way, helping her harm others?” Xia Xin was quite puzzled: “Don’t you know you’re not helping her, but harming her?”
The Red Fox looked at everyone, its gaze unwavering, even a bit bewildered, as if not realizing it was harming anyone.
