“When we first suddenly appeared here, my sisters and I were fine. Later, however, something must have happened since they returned to their main form and sank into slumber.
“Deity, if you can save my sisters, we will follow you forever.”
Li Mo inspected the jade pipa and the bird egg with his Celestial Eye, finding trace amounts of demon qi. The soldier’s yang qi went inside them but the weak demon qi didn’t increase at all.
‘It’s actually growing weaker?’
Li Mo asked, “Nine-tailed fox, did your demon qi changed after being sealed here?”
“It weakened a lot. My wicked wind used to be many times stronger before I was trapped here.”
Nine-tailed fox looked up at Li Mo. She didn’t need to continue for Li Mo to understand.
“Your sisters are dying. And if you keep staying here, you will end up suffering the same fate. You were fine until now because your demon qi is stronger than theirs and can last longer.”
“Please save us, deity.”
Nine-tailed fox hugged his leg again.
Even without Li Mo’s words, she was aware of her sisters’ failing demon qi. She knew her own situation the best as well.
This grand tomb used to have tens of fox demons and other creatures, but after being sealed here for 3-5 years, they all died. Nine-tailed fox could only watch, powerless to help them.
“Saving them is only possible by taking them in to place rich in yang qi. This will help their recovery.”
Nine-tailed fox kept begging. She knew of it too, but where would she fund such a place in this prison?
Yang qi was the qi of the living and the only thing this Yellow Emperor’s tomb had aplenty was yin qi. There was not even a drop of yang qi around.
Li Mo lifted the jade pipa and the bird egg and said to nine-tailed fox, “Take on your main form. I will get you out.”
“Thank you, deity!”
The nine-tailed fox shifted on the spot into a lustrous, unblemished, perfect, nine-tailed arctic fox.
Li Mo carried it and took the Staff of Origin out, using its power to cover the three demons.
Li Mo sent three blood essence drops to the three demons.
It entered without fail into the two sisters while hovering before the arctic fox.
“If you truly respect me, you won’t resist. this is a Blood Oath. If you ever betray me, one thought from me and your blood will explode and die no matter where you are.”
The arctic fox heard him and stopped resisting, letting the drop enter her body.
Hum~
With the arctic fox in his arms, Li Mo stepped through the time-space rupture.
It was now night, and An Yuxin was long gone.
Li Mo placed the fox down, who started to flip in the air not once, but twice. She looked perplexed for a second before mewling at Li Mo.
“The origin power allowed you entry in this world, but your demon qi was stripped away as you passed through the time-space rupture. There’s no need to worry. Give it a few days and it will all come back to you.”
The nine-tailed arctic fox relaxed and roamed her charming vixen eyes around the place. She was piqued by the living room’s design.
Li Mo took the jade pipa and the bird egg upstairs in the third bedroom.
He also placed a Yin Yang Array and let the yin and yang qi interchange.
The arctic fox bent her knees before Li Mo.
“Without my explicit order, you are not to leave this room. Is that clear?”
The fox nodded.
Li Mo took out an earth qi jade talisman and went to the golem planet.
The reverence in the fox’s eye rose to new heights seeing Li Mo vanish into thin air.
She had tried god knew how many times to leave that wretched place and always failed. Yet now, this youth, far weaker than herself casually got them all out.
‘Is deity hiding his power and my cultivation is not enough to see through it?’
Li Mo put Su Qingyi back into her body then came back.
It’s been such a long time yet Su Qingyi made zero progress. Even Wei Jianguo, who, for better or worse, learned a few moves from Hundred Beast King Fist.
Li Mo saw it now that this girl was not fit for battle. With her personality, she couldn’t harm even Su Mingyuan who killed her. Wishing for her to grow in this place was a forlorn hope.
Since fighting was out, it was to logistics and tactics with her.
Li Mo brought Su Qingyi before the arctic fox.
“She is Su Qingyi. She will be teaching you common sense.”
Su Qingyi controlled her body and greeted the nine-tailed arctic fox with a funny wave, “Hi.”
Seeing a panda, hiking to another planet, and battling stone golems for a month, Su Qingyi was calmer than ever, despite meeting a nine-tailed fox.
“Brother Mo, does she have a name?”
“Yes, she is… Whitey.” Li Mo paused, thinking Daji wasn’t proper. Since the nine-tailed arctic fox and Daji had nothing in common now.
“This is Jadey, and this… Niney.”
Li Mo also gave the jade pipa and the nine-headed pheasant names while he was at it. They were sleeping but under the yang qi’s nursing, they should be up and about in no time.
Su Qingyi lowered her head in greeting, “I am Su Qingyi. Please take care of me.”
Li Mo left the nine-tailed arctic fox’s education in Su Qingyi’s capable hands and went downstairs to rest. He may be in the Spirit Stage, but exhausting his vitality so much was a serious matter. He needed to take a break.
…
Stone golem planet.
Waves of stone golems rushed from everywhere to the sparkling and radiant Du Fei. He spread his arms and shouted, “Brilliant Fist’s tenth move, Lofty Radiance!”
Hum~
Light spread everywhere and, despite not quite as lofty as it sounded, the brightness did reach around fifty meters in height, smashing the hundreds of golems around him to pieces.
“Roar~”
The panda stuck out his hands, giving thumbs up galore.
Du Fei slumped on his butt, panting.
Brilliant Fist’s tenth move’s name spoke of it being an area of effect attack. The larger the area, the more qi it used. Du Fei didn’t know how to control it so this attack used up all his reserves.
Ka! Ka!
While Du Fei was resting, two weird sounds came from beneath the earth. Then, a two-meter tall golden golem came out and started wringing the life out of Du Fei by clutching his neck.
Du Fei’s face went red and his tongue lolled out. He was too exhausted to put up a fight.
“Roar~”
The panda charged.
The panda leaped and spread its claws, Hundred Beast King Fist – Bear Pounce!
Ka~
The panda smashed its claws on the golden golem’s slender arm and sounds of bones breaking were heard.
The golden golem was a thousand times tougher than an average stone golem!
The panda howled in pain as its two claws fell limply. They swayed but not once could it lift them.
