Chapter 856: Secrets of Hansheng Valley
Right now, things are a disaster! Ruo’er suddenly fell into an unknown crisis—she hadn’t done anything wrong, so why was she being chased?
And what’s up with those Immortal Foxes?
Somehow, those Immortal Beasts and Immortals started pursuing her, almost treating her like a criminal. She nearly got caught!
“Run, little sister!”
This white fox girl saved Ruo’er and quickly dragged her away.
Ruo’er had no idea what was going on, feeling anxious, but in this moment, she wanted to follow them because she had found companions.
Companions among the foxes — it had been a long time since she had been around anyone like her. It felt so comforting, much better than facing those Immortals.
Now they were running, while the Immortal Beasts and Immortals pursued, trying to catch them.
This scene looked like a desperate escape; it was unclear from where they had just fled.
There was blood on them, indicating a struggle, as if they had barely escaped.
“Who are you…?”
“We’re companions! They mean harm to us Immortal Foxes.”
The white fox girl continued to pull Ruo’er along, and Ruo’er didn’t resist. In this situation, she also needed to act.
Casting spells, healing.
Earlier, Ruo’er had heard Lin Nuo say she excelled in support arts, specializing in this sort. Although her healing arts couldn’t compare to Liu Shuqin’s, they were still impressive. Soon enough, her healing spells began to work, and the injuries of the white fox girl started to mend.
“Your healing… thank you.”
The white fox girl expressed gratitude to Ruo’er. Now that her wounds were healing, she could move more easily.
“Why are you…?”
“Watch out!”
Suddenly, a Spirit Technique attack came flying in—swift as lightning! The white fox girl quickly shielded Ruo’er and evaded the incoming spell.
Thankfully, they were unharmed.
If they got caught, it might mean more than just being imprisoned.
They had come prepared for this escape, and of course, other Immortal Beasts and Immortals were helping, cooperating to rescue them.
The beginning went smoothly, but soon they were exposed and pursued. They could only resist with all their might, naturally getting hurt in the process.
Now they had reached the edge of a cliff, where Immortals had come to assist them.
Many Immortals from Hansheng Valley arrived, but they were still late. The Immortal Foxes had already made preparations for their escape.
“Quick, go!”
Ahead, there was an Immortal Tiger that summoned a flying tool resembling a boat, spacious enough to carry over ten people.
Time to escape together and leave this place.
The Immortal Foxes quickly climbed aboard, and so did Ruo’er.
She decided to leave with them. Though Dong Xiyan was still in Hansheng Valley, she chose to go with these Immortal Foxes.
She had a sense that staying here might lead to trouble, prompting this bold decision.
Moreover, after leaving, there might be a chance to find the young master. Spending every day in this Immortal Valley was rather lonely, and given the uncertain situation of the young master, she was quite worried. Escaping like this seemed to be a viable option.
I’m sorry, Dong Xiyan.
The flying magical vessel, resembling a spaceship, began its journey, carrying the Immortal Foxes away at great speed, but the Immortal Beasts and Immortals were still in hot pursuit.
“Is everyone on board?”
At this moment, a white fox man surveyed the situation, noting it was urgent, and they had to leave quickly, without time to count.
“This one is…?”
He noticed an unfamiliar little white fox girl among them. Unlike them, she appeared unharmed and clean, without any shackles or blood, as if she hadn’t just escaped from prison.
This little white fox girl was stunning, her silvery fur seemingly free of dirt, and her round, watery eyes were exceptionally clear.
“Those Immortals were trying to catch her. I saw she was also a white fox, so I brought her along. Her healing skills are excellent; my wounds healed quickly after she cast her spells.”
The white fox girl who had just rescued Ruo’er spoke, even complimenting her.
Ruo’er was usually a bit shy, but in front of these fellow Immortal Foxes, she felt a burst of confidence and started chatting with them.
“You all are seriously injured; let me help you.”
Ruo’er began casting spells on them. Each had various injuries, and healing Immortals required a significant amount of spiritual power. However, Ruo’er specialized in support arts, allowing her to skillfully use healing spells with low energy consumption.
Thus, it wasn’t too much of a strain for her.
Before long, she had completed her spells on all of them; their wounds felt much better, the pain lessened, and the bleeding had stopped.
“Thank you, little girl. You must not be from Hansheng Valley. Where do you come from?”
One of the Immortal Foxes asked.
Ruo’er retracted her hand and spoke politely:
“Hello, I’m Ruo’er, of fox bloodline, from Zifeng Valley. I serve the great hero Lin Nuo.”
Ruo’er raised her voice a little when mentioning the last part—this was something she was immensely proud of.
Being Lin Nuo’s maid was a unique honor, only she could qualify for such a role, how could she not beam with pride?
“Lin Nuo?”
This name seemed familiar to them, and they quickly recalled,
“Isn’t he the one who saved Zifeng Valley before?”
“That’s right!”
Ruo’er proudly replied, and they all suddenly realized, so she was Lin Nuo’s maid.
Her strength must indeed be extraordinary to be his maid.
“Then little girl, what brings you to Hansheng Valley?”
“I was following Dong Xiyan here. She mentioned that Hansheng Valley has many Immortal Foxes, and since I haven’t met fellow fox companions in a long time, she brought me here to get acquainted. However, I heard that the Immortal Foxes aren’t staying here; they’ve left.”
“They’re turning black and white! We say we don’t belong here, and that’s natural. Just look at how they treat us!”
The Immortal Foxes got agitated speaking this way, seeming to contain some hidden stories.
“Hmm… then what exactly happened? Why are you injured and being pursued?” Ruo’er asked, puzzled.
“Many of us Immortal Foxes are actually descended from demons, and they are of lower bloodlines. Meanwhile, the other Immortal Beasts and Immortals have noble bloodlines, so situations like ours are rare. Our leader was the first example, and she pushed for this rule so that more fox demons could become Immortal Foxes.”
“Mm… So she was the first one, how did she become an Immortal?” Ruo’er inquired.
“She made great contributions to Hansheng Valley, so an exception was made. Later, her abilities became exceptional, and she gradually became the leader of the Immortal Foxes, prompting the regulation for demons to ascend to fox status. Eventually, she gathered many talented demons. But the leaders among the other Immortal Beast groups already consider themselves above us, so they wouldn’t adopt such measures. Only the fox group is mixed.”
“Mm… So do they look down on Immortal Foxes who ascended from demons?” Ruo’er wondered aloud.
“Yes,” the other replied, nodding.
