Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 237 - Fox Tail

Bing Lizi and Chen Long were both curious about Xi Lei's condition. They assumed that Xi Lei had also transformed into a spirit animal like them and began to second-guess the form of Xi Lei's spirit animal.

"Could it be ape? In addition to mastering various lightning element magic, Brother Xi also mastered the science of sticks." Bing Lizi asked Chen Long for his opinion.

"I think so too. Apes and lightning... Lightning Ape? A little unreasonable? It's still possible if it's Kirin or Dragon." Chen Long replied somewhat doubtfully.

Bo Lang then entered into the conversation of the two of them. "There is actually a rare type of spirit beast that possesses the power of lightning. The ancestors of all kinds of spirit animals and demons were wolves, namely the Lightning Wolf which had the characteristic silver horn and two-tailed.

"Oh, really? Lightning Wolf..." Chen Long felt surprised but then remembered about the Lightning Wolf. "But that one spirit animal should be extinct. I've met one of them and killed him right away considering that one wolf is not very friendly with humans."

"Yes, Great Lord Chen. And only a few wolf-shaped spirit beasts were friendly enough to humans. For example the Night Wolf like me."

Bing Lizi and Chen Long nodded at Bo Lang's explanation.

"The Lightning Wolf, yes..."

Bing Lizi and Chen Long then imagined Xi Lei in the form of the Lightning Wolf.

"Brother Xi and the Lightning Wolf, I think it fits him perfectly."

Bing Lizi and Chen Long then laughed together, making the others flustered. Yao Han asked one of them to tell him more about Xi Lei.

"Senior Xi? Like I said before, he has the power of the lightning element and is steeped in the science of the stick. As I recall, Senior Xi only has a cane-shaped heirloom. His name was the Sky Ruling Stick and included a high-level Ancient Heirloom."

Chen Long added that Xi Lei looks like an early forties-year-old man. His body is tall and very strong. The true appearance of Xi Lei would be very much different from what Yao Han and the others could have imagined.

"Senior Xi is the second oldest after Senior Bing among the four of us. Senior Xi might look like a bad person, but his nature was completely different. Senior Xi was extremely strong and the cultivator who could defeat him one on one was only Senior Feng. Senior Xi could surpass Senior Bing who had two pure spirit roots because her strength was Senior Bing's natural weakness."

Chen Long also explained he had never seen anyone who could match Xi Lei's cane science. In other words, as far as Chen Long's memories go, Xi Lei was the best stick expert in the Blue Moon Continent.

"What you need to remember, the one word that Senior Xi describes is speed. Even Senior Feng was very difficult to keep up with Senior Xi's speed."

Yao Han grew more enthusiastic, impatient to meet Xi Lei and learn a lot from him.

There were no more important discussions and they were all busy with their respective affairs.

Chen Long scanned around and only realized they were in the middle of a dense forest created from his wood elemental magic. He then transformed into a dragon and meditated in a circular position.

Jiu Jinyu had her own busyness that caught Yao Han's attention. The Jade Fire Fox Queen touched a piece of Fenix fur obtained from Meirong to the back of her body. Instantly Jiu Jinyu's body was coated in reddish flames and the phoenix's fur disappeared.

Not long after, from behind Jiu Jinyu's body appeared a golden-coloured tail one meter long.

"I finally have another tail..." Jiu Jinyu smiled widely as she stroked her one growing back with gentleness.

Yao Han was attracted by Jiu Jinyu's tail. His hand was about to touch the tail. Yet suddenly Jiu Jinyu clapped her hands while looking at Yao Han while glaring.

"I'm sorry, Senior. I'm just curious about Senior's tail. Is it softer and smoother than Bo Lang's tail?" reply Yao Han lightly as if without sin.

"What's? How dare you compare the tail of this Queen to the tail of the Night Wolf. Hmphh!"

Bo Lang whispered to Yao Han. "Master Yao, how can you compare the tails of the two of us? It is as clear as heaven and earth. All fox races are very sensitive to their tails, don't just talk about it let alone dare touch it..."

According to Bo Lang's explanation further, spirit animals or fox-shaped demons always consider the tail and number of tails as a benchmark of strength, majesty, and privilege. In the current case of Jiu Jinyu, even though her tail had only regrown one fruit, at least Jiu Jinyu regained her honor as the Fox Queen.

"All right, I get it." Yao Han could only silently observe Jiu Jinyu's tail trying to be kept out of her reach.

Jiu Jinyu tail color is very beautiful and judging by the texture, it seems very soft and smooth. Yao Han tried well to hold back his will.

Yao Han then chose to sleep because it had been a long time since the last time he had slept. Bo Lang volunteered to be Yao Han's bedding which was accepted happily.

The next morning, Jiu Jinyu urged Chen Long to remove the circular wooden bracelet on his ankles and hands. Chen Long refused firmly, but Jiu Jinyu kept trying to persuade by offending the agreement between herself and Yao Han.

"In the name of Dao, the Queen swore she would do nothing. If it violates, this Queen will receive the punishment of being struck by lightning once a hundred."

The Dao Oath was the highest oath in the world of cultivators and Jiu Jinyu knew it. With a heavy heart, Chen Long removed the wooden bracelet that held Jiu Jinyu's strength.

"I'm finally back to my strength."

Jiu Jinyu laughed a long laugh. All he wanted for a while was freedom. He also reasoned to be able to protect Yao Han on the way because he did not want to linger too long in the Pagoda Dimension.

The strength of Jiu Jinyu who was equivalent to an early stage Golden Core realm was enough to protect Yao Han. Even he was stronger than Bo Lang whose strength was equivalent to the late stage Blue Core realm.

Yao Han continued his journey towards the north while getting ready for the barrier after making it out of the safe path of Chen Long's artificial forest.

Previously Feng Xian reminded the situation of the Blue Moon Continent that was getting chaotic, it was not impossible that Yao Han would be greeted with a terrifying scene due to the war that had already begun.

Yao Han could only hope that the war did not spread to the Green Forest Country or that Feng Xian would again intervene a second time to stop the war by eliminating all the sects involved.

"I hope it never happens..."

Seriate...

Note:

A few chapters ahead, Yao Han etc did not appear. There will be more detailed stories about the cultivator's world war, but yes not very detailed.

The chapter that Yao Han is in again will have a mark on it.

Warm cold greetings,

Author, Masway.
