Chapter 22: Purple-Eyed Snow Fox
Those are…
… purple-eyed snow fox and earth lizard! Leng Ruoxue was slightly surprised.
Purple-eyed snow foxes, the king of foxes, were born elegant and noble. They were formidable spirit beasts that were best at charming and used ice-element attacks.
!!
Earth lizards slightly resembled a lizard. They were said to have the blood of dragons and were a side branch of the dragon race. Earth lizards were of earth-attribute spirit beasts and were best at defense.
Although she didn’t know why the purple-eyed snow fox and earth lizard were fighting, she could sense that they were higher level than her, so she kept her distance to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Spirit beasts could be divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, holy, and divine beasts.
Levels one to three were elementary, four to six were intermediate, and seven to nine were advanced. Holy beasts and divine beasts each had nine levels as well. Only when spirit beasts reached level seven could they speak, and only divine beasts could transform into human form.
Since Leng Ruoxue entered the bracelet to cultivate every night, she had already reached advanced Spiritual Sovereign with time acceleration. However, she still felt that these two spirit beasts were stronger than her. This meant that they were at least level seven holy beasts. Levels one to five holy beasts were equivalent to human Spiritual Sovereigns, and level seven and above holy beasts were equivalent to human Spiritual Supremacies.
It was a rare opportunity to see a battle between two Spiritual Supremacy-level spirit beasts, so how should she let this chance slip away? With this thought, Leng Ruoxue hurriedly hid behind bushes to spectate the fight. Although the opportunity was rare, her safety was still more important.
“Big Sister, those two are level nine holy beasts,” Qing Jue said from the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.
“Level nine? Who do you think will win?” Leng Ruoxue communicated telepathically with Qing Jue. Although most of his abilities were sealed, he had traversed through many cosmic spaces with his master, so he was considerably experienced and knowledgeable.
“These two beasts aren’t weak, and each has its own strengths… It’s hard to tell, but judging by the current situation, the fox is likely to win,” Qing Jue analyzed.
“Damn fox, if I can’t have it, you can’t either.” Seeing that it was at a disadvantage, the earth lizard’s milky little eyes flashed with viciousness.
“Stinky reptile, you can’t even defeat me,” the purple-eyed snow fox said elegantly. Although it looked disheveled now, its nobleness remained unaffected.
“Big Sister, that earth lizard is going to blow itself up. Come in quickly.” Qing Jue sensed the spiritual energy in the forest rushing toward the earth lizard and hurriedly reminded Leng Ruoxue to take refuge in the bracelet. A level nine Holy Beast self-exploding couldn’t be taken lightly.
Just as Leng Ruoxue was about to enter the bracelet, she saw the purple-eyed snow fox unleashing a spiritual skill, so she waited to see what it would do to prevent the earth lizard from exploding.
“Damn it! You lunatic!” The purple-eyed snow fox could tell what the earth lizard was up to, so it unleashed its most powerful ice-element spiritual skill and froze the huge earth lizard into a block of ice. Then it collapsed onto the ground due to exhausting its spiritual power.
“Human, come out,” the purple-eyed snow fox uttered weakly. In fact, it had long known that there was a human nearby, but the human was too weak for it to take seriously. But now that both it and the stinky reptile were heavily injured, the puny human would be able to take advantage of them.
Since the snow fox was aware of her presence, Leng Ruoxue stopped hiding and walked out from behind the bushes without hesitation.
Upon seeing the little human, the purple-eyed snow fox was stunned. It’s actually a woman, and she looks decent too. The best-looking human I’ve seen. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“I would rather die than acknowledge a weak human as my master.” Despite being in a tattered state, the purple-eyed snow fox was still arrogant. The proud spirit beast would never acknowledge a weak human as its master, even if she looked decent.
Weak? Is it referring to me? Leng Ruoxue was a bit depressed. Although her cultivation wasn’t high, she wasn’t weak either! She wasn’t even hiding her strength currently. But if she knew that the beast only saw her as looking decent, she would be even more depressed.
Leng Ruoxue examined the snow fox before her. Blood and dirt covered its white fur, and it had injuries all over its body. Although it was riddled with wounds, it still maintained its natural elegance. She had heard that purple-eyed snow foxes were spirit beasts with a noble bloodline. The nobler the bloodline, the scarcer the spirit beast. So this snow fox could definitely be regarded as a legendary spirit beast, rare and precious.
Everyone liked beautiful things, and she was no exception. But even though she liked this snow fox a lot, she didn’t want to force the fox when it was in a difficult situation.
Leng Ruoxue approached the snow fox, who was lying motionless on the ground from overdrawing its spiritual power and severe injuries, and stuffed a pill into its mouth.
“I don’t intend to tame you forcibly.” She was also very proud. Then she turned and left.
Dumbfounded, the snow fox watched as the weak human departed. What’s going on? Isn’t this human supposed to capture me while I’m weak and find a beast trainer to tame me? Why is she leaving… This isn’t right! The smart snow fox was confused.
What?! My injuries have healed, and even my spiritual power has restored? Let me try. I’m really okay. That pill…
Seeing the human walk farther and farther away, the snow fox hurriedly got up and chased after her.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the large two-meter tall snow fox blocking her way in bewilderment.
“Why didn’t you capture me and find a beast trainer to tame me?” the snow fox asked doubtfully. Its beautiful, amethyst-like watery eyes reflected a glimpse of shyness
“Do you think that all humans will capitalize on your injuries to capture you, then find a beast trainer to tame and contract you?” Leng Ruoxue threw a question back instead.
“Yes.” The snow fox nodded its head earnestly. Aren’t humans like that?
“Not every human likes to take advantage of others’ difficulties,” Leng Ruoxue said. In her previous life, she had always seen animals as man’s best friend, or at least more trustworthy than some humans. Moreover, her grandfather once told her that humans and spirit beasts should be best friends, and both her grandfather and big brother treated their spirit beasts as family members. The Leng family would never treat their spirit beasts as mere tools.
