Chapter 245 Humanoid
Chapter 245 Humanoid
With a flash of blue light, the white fox transformed into a human.
He was wearing a grass-colored linen shirt, and a sleek wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally into his casually tied-up bun. His eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were moving, and he opened his light red lips and said in a voice that was slightly lower and hoarse than I remembered: "Are you from my fox clan? Thank you for your help."
I couldn't stop shaking all over.
He raised his eyebrows, walked over to me and squatted down, stroking my neck with his slender fingers, and he said "Huh?"
"You have no spiritual power? Are you still uncivilized? You are shaking so badly, don't be afraid." His fingers were too gentle and my trembling stopped a little.
"Since we have the chance to meet and you have protected me, why don't I give you some spiritual power to help you transform into a human form." After saying that, he raised his hand and a light blue spiritual light shot into my body.
Like the spring breeze blowing across the barren wasteland, like the spring rain soaking the dry earth, from the places I touched to my entire body, I was surrounded by a gentle and quiet force.
He touched my head and said, "Huh?" "The nine-tailed fox's twenty years of spiritual power should be enough for you to transform into a human form. Why haven't you changed yet?"
Looking up at the sky, he stood up and picked up the bamboo basket with herbs beside him. "I'm sorry, I have to go back. Practice on your own, and you will probably be able to transform into a human form in no time. But remember, you must find a safe place when practicing, and don't get out of breath when practicing. Don't be like me today, I was almost defeated by a wild wolf."
After saying this, he picked up the bamboo basket and left with a slight limp.
I quietly watched his back as he walked away, tears streaming down my cheeks and wetting the hair.
I was afraid to show up and disrupt his peaceful life and the timeline I was secretly worried about. You know, I had been tortured by fate once, and it took me five years to see him again. I really didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
I lay on the ground with my arms and legs stretched out, and then I got up.
The long-lost visual field and the long-lost clean hands.
I adjusted myself to the feeling of walking on my own two feet and slowly walked to the stream nearby.
Looking down at the water, I saw some of my hair was graying.
At first I thought the fox’s white fur had not changed completely, but when I squatted down and took a closer look, I discovered that there were a few wrinkles at the corners of my eyes.
A face that was unfamiliar to me emerged from the water.
I touched the wrinkles around my mouth. Fortunately, I didn't rashly transform into a human form, otherwise I would have scared him.
A few drops of tears fell on the water surface, creating ripples.
A five-year-old fox is like a thirty-year-old human. If I had lived a comfortable life, I might not have grayed so early.
The white fox has white fur all over its body and doesn't look old. But it's different for people, whose worries and anxieties are written on their faces, carved into their wrinkles, and stained in their temples.
That young and flying Lanxiang eventually left me.
I walked back to Xiangliu's military camp, getting used to my long-lost legs. I was stopped by the soldier guarding the gate: "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"
I subconsciously wanted to tuck my tail between my legs, but then I realized I didn't have a tail anymore, so I politely replied, "My name is Lanxiang, and I'm an old acquaintance of your Xiangliu Military Advisor. Please inform him."
One guard ran inside to report, leaving the others to keep an eye on me.
Soon, Xiangliu came walking on the wind, his spotless white robe fluttering in the wind.
Even though he was usually calm, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw me.
Fortunately, his surprise came and went quickly, and he asked, "Did you find anything to eat?"
I shook my head.
"Then come in and eat something first." He said and turned to walk into the camp.
I quickened my pace to catch up with him, and we walked in silence all the way to his tent.
Wang Shiba was squatting in front of his tent pulling up grass on the ground. When he saw us coming, he asked curiously, "Boss, who is this lady...?"
Xiangliu waved his hand and said, "Old acquaintance. Go get her some food."
Wang Shiba stood up, clapped his hands, nodded to me, turned around and ran away.
I followed Xiangliu into the tent, and Xiangliu looked at me with scrutiny.
He didn't ask, and I was too lazy to speak up.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "You...how did you suddenly turn into a human form?"
"Well, it's a long story. It's just that I met a good person and had an adventure." I didn't want to expose Tu Shanjing, so I passed it over vaguely.
His eyes darkened, and he asked again: "Then what are you doing here? Just to report the news to us? I heard that you and Tu Shanjing disappeared together before... How did you disperse all your spiritual power and return to your original form? Now that you appear, he is also coming back? Where have you been before?"
These were all questions I couldn't answer truthfully, so I could only pick out the answers: "He and I... haven't been together in these years, so I don't know much. Something happened to me before, so I lost my spiritual power. Now, rather than saying that I came here to tell you something, it's more like a coincidence, and I happened to save an old acquaintance."
The misty mask on Xiangliu's face dissipated, and his eyes turned deep red.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed my neck. His long nails scratched my flesh, causing a slight sting. He leaned close to me and whispered, "You are not telling the truth. I just heard that not long ago, Xuan flew to Meilong Town with a light golden white fox, and he had raised this fox in Wushen Mountain for several years. What exactly is your conspiracy? Since you saved my soldiers, I will give you another chance to confess, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
I tapped his hand, motioning him to let go so I could talk.
"I had no choice but to stay with him. He didn't know who I really was! I looked for a chance to escape, and by chance I knew he was going to attack you, so I went to look for you. I have sworn brotherhood with Eighteenth Brother, and I have received your kindness, so I shouldn't harm you. Logically speaking, only if you are doing well can our young master do business with you. If you fail, it will not be good for our Tushan clan."
He put his cool hand down, and raised one corner of his mouth: "This sounds much more reasonable!"
I nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Because it is true, it makes sense! If it is fake, it will not stand up to scrutiny and will always reveal flaws!"
He glanced at me suspiciously and said, "If I find out your flaws in the future and discover that you are trying to harm my Chenrong soldiers, I can still kill you at any time!"
I sighed. It's no wonder that he is suspicious. He grew up in an arena full of intrigue, deception and life and death. Now he has so many soldiers under his command. One wrong step may cost the lives of thousands of people. He has to think more.
So I made my position clear to him: "Don't worry, if you don't hurt Tu Shanjing, I won't do anything bad to you."
The doubt in his eyes disappeared a little.
At this time, Wang Shiba's voice sounded from far outside: "Boss, the meal is here."
"Come in." Xiangliu returned to his usual coldness and his eyes turned back to black.
