Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 256 The Sword Immortal and the Fox

Qi Suowei consistently avoided seeing the newcomers.

Because she knows how to break through the illusions of sentient beings, but she cannot break through the illusions of sentient beings, send people away, and even keep Lake Feidu as it is.

Therefore, she concealed her identity.

To avoid causing these unfortunate kids to harbor resentment.

It's better to just pretend you're dead and not hold onto any hope.

Hearing this, she smiled and said:

"The nature of all beings cannot be broken. If I could get out, I would have been living a carefree life for the past eight hundred years. Why would I be trapped here?"

This was unexpected, but Zhu Wuyao wasn't surprised. She asked:

"This is what I want to know: why is it that the nature of all beings cannot be broken? Will the demon race rise up and pose a threat to the human race because of this?"

"Why would the re-flowing Feidu Lake lead to the prosperity of the demon race?"

Qi Suowei was not optimistic about the "solution" that Zhu Wuyao mentioned.

But now that their identities have been discovered, there's nothing left to hide.

If these juniors insist on leaving and accuse her of inaction, then she will send them back into the cycle of reincarnation with a single sword strike.

It's not troublesome at all.

She doesn't have much time left to live. If these people can really outlive her until she dies, they might be able to take advantage of the fox's madness and find an opportunity to escape the cycle of life.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Suowei became very interested in talking.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

One thousand one hundred years ago, she saved a fox demon.

There was no other reason, mainly because that fox demon was too pretty, and with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, her eyes were always filled with tears, making her even more pitiful.

This story tells us.

Don't pick up fox spirits on the street.

Qi Suowei used the blade he had just used to kill the demon to lift the silver fox's chin and examine his appearance.

The silver fox subtly revealed its tail, swaying it gently. It looked up at the inexperienced Qi Suowei, its eyes reddening, and remained silent.

It seemed to have a touch of stubbornness, and a touch of ingratiation.

Back then, Qi Suowei had never seen such a cute little thing.

She sheathed her sword.

I've decided to spare this poor, harmless little fox for the sake of his reputation.

As for how he was saved?

Qi Suowei didn't kill him, so wasn't that saving his life?

Although the fox was beautiful, Qi Suowei was not the kind of person who bullied men and women. She was of pure mind and turned to leave.

But the silver fox pulled off the sword tassel.

Qi Suowei turned around and saw that Silver Fox seemed a little lost as well. Unexpectedly, he pulled off the sword tassel. When he saw her turn around, his ears twitched.

Looking back, it was clear that this action was intentional!

She used the tip of her sword to flick the tassel back, then asked:

"I want to go back to the human race. If you're being bullied in the demon race, why don't you come with me?"

So, Silver Fox nodded.

Much later, Qi Suowei learned that foxes are known for their cunning, and that the silver fox was wanted by the authorities when the two met.

He accidentally obtained a secret manual called "Ten Thousand Demon Elephant".

In order to figure out the forms of the various demons, he disguised himself and sneaked into the sacred land of the demon race, breaking off a sacrificial pillar and swallowing it.

When encountering Qi Suowei, he had not yet fully digested the situation and could not easily use his demonic power. Moreover, he was among the demons and was at risk of being discovered at any time.

Seeing that Qi Suowei was heading towards human territory, Silver Fox realized that this was an opportunity.

It can hide among humans, be protected by Qi Suowei, and slowly refine the sacrificial pillar.

Why not?

But to Silver Fox's surprise, Qi Suowei grew stronger, more dazzling, and more radiant every day until his brilliance could no longer be ignored.

The two traveled together for decades, visiting famous mountains and rivers.

Silver Fox finally succumbed to his feelings. He felt this was not a good omen; love, for a king's path, is often a hindrance. Yet, he couldn't bear to leave. Therefore, Silver Fox decided to confess—

Let Qi Suowei drive him away.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Silver Fox revealed all his schemes from the beginning of their acquaintance until now.

Unexpectedly, Qi Suowei said:

"Just as I guessed, I knew you weren't a good fox. You've been full of tricks all the way, and even I'm amazed by them."

"Your fur is white, but your heart is black. You think I appreciate your innocent act, but you never imagined that I like the cunning glint in your eyes when you're scheming against people."

"Just like I know you're plotting against me right now."

Qi Suowei had no idea how damaging these words would be to the fox.

She didn't even know that Silver Fox wanted to leave.

He merely glanced back at the stunned silver fox and casually said:

"But your eyes are dull and lifeless today, as if I don't want to play with you anymore."

What are you sad about?

Silver Fox shed two genuine tears, a rare occurrence for him.

Then Qi Suowei continued:

"Tell me so I can be happy."

……

Silver Fox wiped away her tears.

At this point, Qi Suowei had not yet truly fallen in love with the fox.

She simply regarded him as a great travel companion, or perhaps a chivalrous advisor; in short, they had a lot of fun together.

And so another three years passed.

Silver Fox used every trick in the book to finally get Qi Suowei to understand.

His unparalleled good looks were useless, his peerless wisdom was useless; what moved Qi Suowei was nothing more than one night when Silver Fox returned defeated once again, dejectedly flipping through a book.

In reality, he didn't absorb anything.

Qi Suowei looked at the bewildered and somewhat annoyed fox in front of him and suddenly said:

"You seem to be quite pretty, and I think I might like you."

The book fell from Silver Fox's hand to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At this time, Qi Suowei had already gained some fame among the human race, but it would still take her another one or two hundred years before she ascended to the position of Sword Immortal.

Silver Fox didn't know that the demon race was about to make a move.

He needs to go back and plan for the future.

Before leaving, Silver Fox didn't say what he was going to do; he only said to Qi Suowei:

"You must wait for me. I will become the most powerful fox. In the future, I can not only roam freely in the human territory, but also in the demon territory."

Qi's actions were unclear.

But that didn't stop her from liking a fox for a long time.

Neither of them knew what this separation truly meant.

Silver Fox's departure did not cause Qi Suowei much grief for long, as turmoil continued in the martial world.

With Silver Fox gone, shifting blame becomes difficult.

The young one was killed, and the old one came.

The story begins when she was buying candied hawthorns on the street, and a cultivator suddenly appeared in the sky, saying that this city was disrespectful to the immortals and that they should offer sacrifices to his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Qi was naturally unhappy about what Qi did not do.

We have to see what kind of banner or flag it is.

And so, inexplicably, the snowball grew bigger and bigger, and more and more people were offended.

It's like making dumplings; if there's too much water, add flour; if there's too much flour, add water.

Having more enemies increases your cultivation level; the higher your cultivation level, the more powerful enemies you will offend.

Qi Suowei didn't know how it happened, but he just became a sword immortal.

She didn't know when she became a sword immortal, but she could clearly feel that people in the cultivation world were much more polite to her.

No one mentions the old grudges anymore.
