Chapter 27: The Little White Fox

Xue Fuyi was in her courtyard, concentrating on her cultivation. She had not even set up a barrier, which showed just how urgent her epiphany was.

Su Xi used an Invisibility Talisman to enter Xue Fuyi's room, circled her twice, and watched the piles of high-grade Spirit Stones around her; the spiritual energy within them could almost be seen by the naked eye, scrambling to drill into her body.

【Initiating Lucky Dice, Shadow Stealth!】

【Yes!】

【Congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 18 points of Destiny Value from the target! Reward: Reversal Points, and one Task Treasure Box!】

【I seem to have obtained a Task Treasure Box before?】

【Yes, host. The Task Treasure Box has a time limit; it will disappear if not opened within seven days.】

【Don't waste it, open the previous one first.】

【Yes, Task Treasure Box activated.】

A blinding white light flashed before Su Xi's eyes, and she hurriedly closed them.

A moment later, the white light dissipated, and when she could see clearly again, she found that she had left Xue Fuyi's room and was standing in a mountain forest, where the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was comparable to the Ling Shou Yuan of the Southern Dao Sect.

A chubby little white fox was wagging its fluffy, snow-white tail, lying in a dirt pit and digging a hole.

Suddenly, it stopped, looked at Su Xi standing by the edge of the pit, tilted its head, and peered at her with its beautiful, jet-black eyes, "Are you a challenger?"

It can speak! At least Transformation Stage cultivation!

"……I suppose so," Su Xi replied.

【Er Miao?】

【I am here, host. It is your target; defeat it to receive a reward.】

【What if I am defeated or killed by it?】

【The host will leave the task space and will not suffer any losses.】

"My name is Su Xi, please treat me well."

"Su Xi?" The little white fox used Teleportation to appear in front of her, looking up at her, "Hello, my name is Xiao Huanbao. The Two-Headed Wind Wolf you were supposed to challenge has already been killed by me. Since you drew this Task Treasure Box, I will transform into a Two-Headed Wind Wolf at the same cultivation realm as you. If you can defeat me, you will still receive the reward."

"Alright, this is my first time opening a Task Treasure Box, I hope I have good luck." As she said this, Su Xi activated the Lucky Dice again.

At the same time, she condensed a ball of thunder light in each hand and took the initiative to attack the little white fox.

The little white fox did not move at all, opened its mouth, ate the two thunder light balls, and smacked its lips, "It tastes like Tribulation Lightning. You can refine the Thunder Origin Power of Tribulation Lightning?"

"How did you know?" Su Xi looked at it in surprise, and her thunder light balls had actually been eaten by it!

"Could it be that you also possess the Profound Heaven Five Thunder Jade Body?"

"Profound Heaven Five Thunder Jade Body? That is a cultivation physique of the human race, right? I am not of the human race." The little white fox flicked its tail, transformed into a Two-Headed Wind Wolf, and bit toward Su Xi's shoulder.

Su Xi dodged, a thunder sword appeared in her hand, and she launched a fierce attack!

The Two-Headed Wind Wolf dodged every move, its sharp wolf claws swiping toward Su Xi's waist.

This time, Su Xi could not dodge… her skin was torn and she was bleeding.

However, the pain stimulated Su Xi, and her attacks became increasingly fierce; the two sides became locked in a stalemate.

But Su Xi was giving it her all.

The opponent, on the other hand, was composed and at ease, as if it were just playing a game with her.

In the end, Su Xi was defeated!

The Two-Headed Wind Wolf changed back into the little white fox.

Its eyes curved slightly, cunning, intelligent, and cute, "Wait a moment."

As it spoke, it used Teleportation back into the pit and continued digging.

Finally, it dug out a very small bag from the hole, which looked like a Storage Bag.

This was the first time Su Xi had seen such a small Storage Bag.

The little white fox poured some fresh fruits, dried meat, and crystals out of the Small Storage Bag, as well as an egg that was white but covered all over with intricate golden patterns.

The little white fox put the egg away, and put the fresh fruits, dried meat, and crystals back into the Small Storage Bag.

Finally, it spat out a piece of purple-gold bamboo, which was wreathed in thunder light, and also packed it into the Small Storage Bag.

"Although you failed the task and there is no reward, since you said this was your first time opening a Task Treasure Box, I will give you a gift out of my own pocket." The little white fox tossed the Small Storage Bag to her.

Before Su Xi could say anything, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and she left the task space.

She was still holding that Small Storage Bag in her hand.

【Er Miao, what is this?】

【The host is very lucky to have met a very generous Boss. Generally speaking, the Bosses in Task Treasure Boxes are higher-level than the challengers. The fact that the opponent suppressed its strength to the same realm as the host shows that the opponent's character is also very upright.】 Er Miao expressed great admiration for it.

【I hope to see it again. But I feel that the gap between me and it is so very far.】

【Keep it up, host. As long as you can reverse your destiny, perhaps you will be able to see it again.】

【Mm!】

Xue Fuyi was no longer in the room.

Su Xi looked around; there was one more Defense Barrier than before she left.

She first put the Small Storage Bag into the System Space, and after confirming that the Invisibility Talisman was still active, Su Xi went out.

The Tribulation Cloud in the sky had already dispersed, and the entire Xue Fu, except for Xue Fuyi's room, had been reduced to broken walls and ruins.

Even the houses around Xue Fu had suffered some collateral damage.

【Xue Fuyi's tribulation really demolished her home!】

【The continent is still stable, so she must have passed it.】

【Mm. After passing the tribulation, one must stabilize their realm; Xue Fuyi must have gone into seclusion. But we only did one task, how did she finish so quickly?】

【The time inside the Task Treasure Box is different from the time flow of the Yunze Dalu. It is now ten days later.】

【The gap is that big!】

【Yes, Host.】

【Let's go, head to Huang He first; Cui Tongling and the others should have arrived already. We'll deal with Xue Fuyi later.】 She was a cannon fodder character now; until she reversed this fate, there was nothing she could do other than secretly steal her luck points.

Su Xi left Xue Fu, and just as she removed the Invisibility Talisman from her body, a golden light lunged toward her.

It was Da Jin.

Da Jin was worried sick; if anything happened to Su Xi, how could he answer to the Sect Master? Perhaps even Da Miao wouldn't want him anymore.

"Young Sect Master, where did you go?"

"I... had an epiphany, and I am now at the Qi Refining Late Stage."

"..." If you lie to Da Jin, you'll trip while walking!

"Let's go meet up with Cui Tongling. On the way, tell me what happened at the Xue residence after my epiphany." Su Xi stuck the Invisibility Talisman onto Da Jin, then sat cross-legged on his back and quietly left Yun Du.

After Xue Fuyi began her tribulation transcendence, Cui Cong, the Young Sect Master of the Heaven Sword Sect, arrived with two elders to help protect her during the tribulation.

That Defense Barrier was set up by the elders of the Heaven Sword Sect.

At that time, many cultivators had gathered in Yun Du to observe the ceremony; upon learning that Xue Fuyi had reached the Nascent Soul Stage at only twenty-something years old, they all praised her as a once-in-a-generation prodigy.

Zhou Chuchen also came to offer his congratulations and arranged a better residence for the Xue Family. Those in the surrounding area who were affected were also compensated.

"Come to think of it, after this Young Sect Master of the Heaven Sword Sect was captured by demonic cultivators, his cultivation was damaged, and he was two years late in advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage. Master even took me to observe the ceremony."
