Chapter 967

"Elder Fu Hua usually only stays in closed-door cultivation. People outside Shushan don't know much about her, but everyone inside Shushan knows Elder Fu Hua's status."

"In short, no matter what, an Elder at the early stage of Refining Spirit into Void is enough to protect you. Even Sister Shenzi has to give Elder Fu Hua some face."

"Also, let me tell you a piece of internal news secretly: Elder Fu Hua is the guardian designated by the Sect Master for Keli."

"In other words, when Keli becomes the Shushan Sect Master, Elder Fu Hua will be the Great Elder among the Seven Saint Elders, the strongest in Shushan."

Hua and the others didn't quite understand, but in short, having obtained Fu Hua's approval, they were already safe.

That was enough.

Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved. If they had known it would be this easy, they wouldn't have been worried for more than half a month.

"So, do you still want to find Sister Shenzi?"

Hua pondered for a moment and nodded:

"We should find her. After all, this matter concerns the Fox clan, and Lady Shenzi should know something regardless."

"Fine."

Hu Tao nodded slightly, stopped dawdling, and led the three of them to fly straight into the sky, heading towards the largest cave dwelling.

Before long, they had arrived at the entrance of the cave dwelling.

Across the space barrier of the cave dwelling, they could already sense the spiritual Qi inside, which was so rich it was indescribable.

Hu Tao used spiritual Qi to transmit her voice.

"Sister Shenzi, people from the Xianzhou of the Star Rail universe want to see you. They say they have something to say about the Fox clan of the Xianzhou."

A moment later, the silent cave dwelling slowly opened, and Shenzi's slightly soft and charming voice sounded.

"Come in."

Hu Tao nodded, turned back to look at everyone, and said in a low voice:

"Don't look around or talk later... The Sect Master is watching this place all the time."

The three nodded seriously and followed Hu Tao into the cave dwelling.

In a trance, they seemed to cross a faint barrier, and when they opened their eyes again, the three were shocked on the spot.

The Xianzhou also has cave dwellings, but a cave dwelling is just a cave dwelling—it's an opened-up space.

But here at Shenzi's, it looked completely like a complete world.

Looking around, it was an endless cherry blossom forest, the sky was flowing with light and color, and many pavilions and kiosks were standing on the clouds.

From time to time, divine birds and strange beasts ran by.

It was truly heart-moving.

Suddenly, while the three were still indulging in the beautiful scenery, a fiery red figure landed with a boom like the sun.

The overflowing flames also made them feel a sense of crisis for the first time.

"This is..."

"Sister Hu Tao!"

A crisp and cute voice sounded in their ears. The next moment, a fiery red little girl threw herself into Hu Tao's arms and rubbed against her happily.

"I haven't seen Sister Hu Tao for a long time!"

"Little Keli! You've become stronger again."

Hu Tao rubbed Keli's head and said with some envy:

"Really, how can little Keli become stronger as easily as eating and drinking? If this goes on, I'm afraid you'll break through again soon."

Keli shook her head, looking a bit puffed up.

"No, Master won't let Keli continue to break through. She wants Keli to consolidate well before breaking through. Clearly, Keli has already consolidated her cultivation."

"Building a good foundation is what's important."

Hu Tao comforted her with a smile, turned to look at Hua and the others, held Keli in her arms, and smiled:

"This is Keli, the Sect Master's direct opening-mountain disciple, and also the Young Sect Master of Shushan."

Hua and the others hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Young Sect Master."

Hu Tao pointed at Hua and the others, and just as she was about to speak, Keli said with a smile:

"Keli knows! They are the sisters from the Star Rail universe! Sister Shenzi asked Keli to come and pick you up."

849. Everyone finally sees Shenzi.

"Is that so? Then I won't introduce you. Speaking of which, Keli, why are you at Sister Shenzi's place today?"

Hu Tao looked at Keli curiously, and the latter stuck out her tongue.

"Keli was a bit bored. Qiqi and Yaoyao are both in closed-door cultivation, and Keli had nothing to do. Sister Lumine and Paimon called Keli over to steal the spiritual materials derived from Sister Shenzi's Enlightenment Tea Tree..."

As soon as the words fell, Keli suddenly covered her mouth and said with some panic:

"Keli didn't steal it! Keli was just helping Sister Lumine keep watch!"

"Alright, Lumine was teasing you."

Hu Tao pinched Keli's cheek and added:

"I heard before that Elder Alice is about to come out of closed-door cultivation. She must be about to undergo the tribulation."

"Mom! Mom is the best!"

Keli danced happily. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Alice for a long time, but she just knew that Alice was in Shushan now, so she wouldn't miss her too much.

"No, no! Sister Shenzi asked Keli to take everyone to find her, and Keli delayed again."

After saying that, Keli jumped out of Hu Tao's arms with a 'he-xiu' and ran towards the distance very cutely, waving back at the end.

"Everyone! Hurry up and follow Keli!"

Seeing this, Hu Tao smiled knowingly, looked sideways at Hua and the others who were full of motherly smiles, and said in a low voice:

"How about it? Keli is very cute, right?"

"Indeed... innocent and lively, you can't tell at all that she is that kind of peerless genius's arrogance."

Hua nodded slightly and added:

"The Young Sect Master is said to be not even ten years old this year?"

"About that. She'll be ten after her birthday. We plan to have a good birthday celebration for Keli then."

A touch of doting appeared on Hu Tao's face.

"With the Sect Master's doting on Keli, at that time, I'm afraid the entire Shushan, including the tens of thousands of small worlds and thousands of middle-thousand worlds under Shushan's jurisdiction..."

"The entire Shushan myriad worlds will celebrate lively once."

"You should be able to make it."

Fu Xuan couldn't help but click her tongue and said:

"Countless worlds celebrating together... what a big deal."

"If it's Keli, it's worth it."

Hu Tao led everyone forward while laughing and teasing:

"Keli is innocent and kind. She is well protected by the Sect Master and Elder Alice, and is ignorant of the world..."

"Everyone in Shushan, from the Sect Master and the Heads and Elders of each peak, down to the inner and outer disciples, likes Keli very much."

"So, Keli's birthday, especially her tenth birthday, is definitely a big event in Shushan."

"They call her the Young Sect Master, but everyone knows clearly that Keli is the little princess of Shushan. She is not the Sect Master's biological daughter, but she is better than a biological daughter."

"Everyone is looking forward to Keli's growth, but..."

Hu Tao said helplessly:

"The little one can't grow too fast..."

"Not long after breaking through to the mid-stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, she is already on the verge of breaking through to the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit..."

"Calculating this way, perhaps Keli will undergo the tribulation and ascend to immortality before she is a thousand years old."

Hearing this, everyone clicked their tongues secretly, but didn't know how to respond.

This kind of topic seemed to be a bit too high-end.

Following Keli in the distance, they crossed the cherry blossom forest all the way.

Before long, they saw several figures on a pavilion in the center of a lake in the distance.

The most prominent one was Shenzi in a pink and white robe.

Every move she made seemed to make the world much brighter.

In a trance, everyone seemed to see the nine-tailed celestial fox coiled up behind Shenzi again. As her eyebrows moved, the world was captivated by her. ===== CHAPTER 968 =====
