Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

Under the dark clouds, the wind howled.

Chixue Qianshan hovered behind the Immortal Beast, entering this dreamland together.

The sword’s blade rose with a vague shadow of an elder, looking at the gradually dispersing white mist.

This... where could it be?

The Dan Country Celestial Palace?

Some Holy Land?

Or perhaps the cultivation place of a super Fallen Immortal, who deceived everyone and stole the name?

Despite having made up his mind to follow the West State Boss to this dreamland, he was still extremely apprehensive!

Hoo...

The wind blew, dispersing the mist.

He saw the Sword Casting Immortal Root already planted in a pre-dug pit.

A group of fiery red foxes, some wielding shovels, some carrying small buckets, some cultivating the soil, some watering, some fertilizing.

"Ying ying ying!"

"Aow aow aow!"

"Ying ying ying!"

Each one was overjoyed, all smiling, all wagging their tails.

But... why do these foxes look kind of familiar?

Where have I seen them?

Is it... on the news?

On hot searches?

In short videos?

How come each one looks like Expert Bai Mo’s Immortal Beasts?

"Ah?

"Did you wake up suddenly?"

A voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Didn’t wake up suddenly.

"Welcome to Fox Mountain.

"Welcome to get to know me again."

The Sword Soul turned around, seeing a cold-faced, indifferent youth dressed in a jacket, none other than the legendary Sequence Nine Beast Master, Sequence Seven Fire Seed Level Scientist, who miraculously rose in the academic world, Bai Mo!

Behind Bai Mo, three foxes squinted their eyes, scrutinizing the sword.

Is this the one that wants to seek refuge on Fox Mountain?

The Sword Soul saw those three foxes, noticing one ear was black, one ear was white, and one had whiskers curled into circles... he smirked slightly. It’s always thought that, as Immortal Beasts, Expert Bai Mo’s foxes would change color slightly each day, looking somewhat different... unexpectedly, this was all a misunderstanding! The foxes don’t change color; the different colors are because a different one is used each day!

And where is the Ancient Immortal?

Where is Expert Bai Mo’s Ancient Immortal Master?

The Sword Soul looked around, the Sword Heart sensed, but was shocked once more!

In this dreamland, there is simply no Ancient Immortal!

How is this possible?

He smirked slightly, feeling utterly absurd.

The Ancient Immortal is the cornerstone of the dreamland’s existence, without it, the dreamland couldn’t last through millennia!

He furrowed his brows, studying Bai Mo again.

What on earth happened to the dreamland’s Ancient Immortal... with Expert Bai Mo?

Bai Mo couldn’t be bothered with his inner turmoil.

"If you want to seek refuge on Fox Mountain, that’s fine.

"But if you want to leave at any time, that’ll depend on when I’m available.

"Maybe one or two years, maybe three or five, perhaps even hundreds of years, I can’t say for sure.

"I hope you can understand.

"Moreover, there’s a management fee for taking refuge on Fox Mountain.

"Um... once a month, consider it the management fee."

After saying this, regardless of whether the Immortal Sword understood or not, he turned and left.

As the master made a statement, the three foxes didn’t leave but squinted their eyes secretly, observing this Sword Soul.

They discovered, this Sword Soul Elder, isn’t exactly a good elder... because this old fellow seemed not to understand gratitude?

When the master said act once a month, this elder actually let out a sigh of relief?

Is this a grateful attitude?

Normally, shouldn’t it be serving with devotion on Fox Mountain, at your command, that’s the grateful attitude!

The three foxes exchanged glances, refraining from acting on the spot.

Foxes are very cunning!

First figure out this Sword Soul Elder’s temperament, and then deal with it slowly!

They ran forward, surrounding the suspended Immortal Sword and Sword Soul.

"Ying ying ying?"

Quanquan Hu donned a friendly smile, stretched out a Fox Claw, and gently touched the blade.

Now that you’re in Brother Fox’s territory, no need to be nervous, you can relax a bit!

"Aow aow aow!"

White Ears Fox Claw held a Bronze Mask, showing it to Chixue Qianshan... Fox Mountain has Spiritual Treasures, with rich experience in hosting Spiritual Treasures, it need not worry about Fox Mountain’s professionalism!

"Ying ying ying!"

Black Ears held two small buckets up for the Immortal Sword to see... Fox Mountain has various Immortal Treasure nurturing Spirit Medicines that can help Immortal Treasures cleanse, de-rust, beautify, maintain, and even introduce companions, offering a full set of services!

The three foxes all grinned simultaneously.

"Ying ying ying, aow aow aow, ying ying!"

The Sword Soul Elder looked at the medicinal soup in the small bucket, swallowed, beaming with joy.

Instantly felt that this Fox Mountain seemed like the right place!

The Bronze Mask nearby had a peculiar expression, glancing at the three foxes, then at the Sword Soul Elder, squinting its eyes diagonally.

...

By nightfall, smoke curled up from the Fox Mountain cafeteria.

Around little stone tables in the cafeteria, foxes sat, eating and drinking, gesticulating, bragging and chatting.

A piece of honey-glazed mushroom lay on a small spoon on a Braised Pork Bun, proud and boastful.

"Ying ying ying, aow aow aow aow..."

...it’s already a very mature operations engineer; with the master causing such a large-scale Qinghua Rain in the real world, the Ghost Eye Machine Room was heavily loaded, but it easily dealt with it, pushing a cart around the machine room, adding sugar, ice, and Red Bull, handling it all with ease!

"Aow aow aow, ying ying aow aow!"

At the little stone table next to it, Little Flower Arm held up a cup of osmanthus soy milk, chin raised, extremely proud.

"Aow aow aow, ying ying ying!"

...in the real world, it swung its tail, sending the Hu Shanjiu, that pounced towards the thorns, flying, protecting Fox Mountain’s Immortal Root from getting stained with blood!

At a distant little stone table, Quanquan Hu, White Ears and others were surprisingly getting along very well with Chixue Qianshan!

From afar, Bai Mo saw Chixue Qianshan floating in mid-air, slicing the honey-glazed mushrooms on Quanquan Hu’s plate with a flash of its blade.
