<h4>Chapter 1310 “Di Cang’s Provocation (3)”</h4>


    After some more back and forth between the two of them, Bai Yan eventually got the gist of what this little fe wanted. “You are saying you want to leave with me?”


    A heavy nodes from the fox.


    She has been in this ce for many years already, she’s long grown tired of it. Now that a chance hase for her to leave, there’s no way this celestial fox would give it up!


    Smirking at her little friend’s behavior: “Don’t you hate men in general? If you leave with me then you are bound to meet a lot of men in the outside world. Can you guarantee you’re able to control that temper of yours?”


    That brought a wave of hesitancy in the fox. However, it’s only a brief dy before she nodded firmly again.


    “Alright, then can you contract with me?” Bai Yan asks with a happy grin.


    The fox nodded again of course. After a year of sharing this valley with Bai Yan, she’s long grown a strong attachment to this woman and her two children. Take these days for example, having nopany to y with was killing the celestial fox.


    “Very well then, rx yourself while Iplete the soul bond with you.” Closing her eyes, Bai Yan sent a part of her soul into the fox’s head and promptly signed a contract like she always does.


    Unexpectedly for the celestial fox, once that was done, she felt an odd and confusing sensation circting across her own body and memories.


    Why…..


    Why does this human’s soul give me such a familiar feeling?


    Oohh… why can’t I remember anything….


    Knocking her own head in frustration, the celestial fox wanted to shake away this confusing and ufortable state.


    If only Bai Yan paid more attention to her new familiar’s behavior in that moment, she would’ve dug deeper to find out why. Unfortunately she wasn’t, thedy’s too busy harvesting some more herbs for the next batch of pills she’s going to refine.


    ……


    At the same time over in the Celestial Pce, the Keepers are all outraged while gathered together.


    “Those demons got some nerve, how dare they provoke us!” Keeper Ling says that with a dreadfully dark expression, his words seething with anger at those he considered enemies of this world.


    Keeper Zun was simrly the same in his tone despite being the kindest of the bunch: “We were nning to go persuade the demon king to produce a young fox for us anyways, this might be a good opportunity to do just that. However, I do not rmend only one of us attending considering how cunning and sly that person is. I’m sure some sort of trap is lying in wait for us!”


    “This…. they wouldn’t, right? The Demon Realm may have weakened considerablypared to before, but they were once considered a realm equal to the Celestial Realm. Doing that would undoubtedly tarnish their reputation.” Another Keeper wearing a teal green robe asks the others with a gloomy face.


    “And why wouldn’t they?” Keeper Ling surprisingly agrees with his counterpart Keeper Zun for once. “You think the Demon Realm is strong? Remember, back then Di Cang exhausted his powers in order to resurrect that girl’s soul! Otherwise why would we be able to seal the Demon Realm until today!” Gripping his fist, this senior who has been known to have a temper towards his enemies felt frustrated and angered for not being able to destroy the threat in the past.


    “And don’t forget, that demon king is a fox. Foxes are inherently sly and devious. Even if he’s weakened and not at his prime, I’m sure there are many tricks he’s conspiring to use against us!”


    The gathered group were quiet without objection to that idea. True, in their view the fox race are all cunning and sly creatures that would use everything in their means to defeat a foe, even if its underhanded and dirty.
