Ghost Li’s body shook greatly, i sombre expression on his face, with one swept, was cleanly brushed away Controlling his agitated e voice said, “Please, please enlighten me senior!”
The nine-tailed celestial fox looked at hiirl ht?” Ghost Li did not answer but the longing and anxiety expressions on his face intensified
The nine-tailed celestial fox shook her head and sighed but her eyes were gentle and full of pity, softly said, “If it is as what you had said, that girl’s body is still whole then naturally it would be that strange ical power that forced her soul to split up and scatter By right once the three souls and seven mortal forms are dispersed, even God or deities would not be able to save her but as long as there is still one soul reh the soul is made up of three souls and seven mortal forms but all of it are still the essence of a human, in the same human soul, a mysterious attraction between each other exists, the Central Plains cultivated taoists have only lio, I saith‘Soul Return Unusual Art’ and called back a man’s soul and three mortal forms which were unfortunately absorbed by an evil dehtly different but as long as the body of your friend is not destroyed and the remnant of the soul still exist then there is hope”
Ghost Li’s expression initially was very excited but when he heard ‘Soul Return Unusual Art’ these four words, he suddenly recalled so, frowned and said, “Senior, the Soul Return Unusual Art that you haveto the ‘Black Shareat mountains?”
The nine-tailed celestial fox’s eyebrow arched, expressing her slight surprise, nodded and said, “Why, so you also know about this Black Shaman Tribe? This Black Shaman Tribe is mysterious and unfathomable, the Black Shaman Master that offers sacrifices to the deities in the tribe is especially proficient in this type of ghost, spirits and soul skills, as long as you can find the Black Shaman Master, then your friend most likely can be saved”
Ghost Li did not speak, after a long while, unable to conceal the disappointment on his face, quietly said, “To tell you the truth, the infor the possibility of saving o But in the past ten years, I have come to this southern border countless of ti time deep inside that inhospitable mountains and rivers But no le information about the Black Sha before a thousand years ago, that Black Shaman Tribe had already become extinct…”
“Thousand years ago?” The nine-tailed celestial fox frohile listening and now suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Ghost Li
“That’s right, what is it?” Ghost Li looked up at her
That gentle lovely girl frowned slightly, as if pondering about so hair wrapped around her shoulder, when the night breeze blew over, strands danced beside her face
After a long while, she raised her head and said, “Being incarcerated for so long, ile anymore, I needed to think before I can recall When I met that Black Shaht by FenXiang Valley So to say, at least around five hundred years ago, the Black Shaman Tribe people still exist”
Ghost Li stared intently at her, the expression on his face changed greatly, the nine-tailed celestial fox saw it and suddenly said, “Alright, alright, considering the fact that you areyou to the southern border to find and see if there is still any traces of the Black Shaman Tribe in the place where l last met that fellow”
Ghost Li inhaled deeply, was quiet for a while, bowed slightly at her, said, “Many thanks senior, I’rateful, if no ahead and order me will do”
The nine-tailed celestial fox looked at thedetermination, a faint warmth still reht of?
With her thoughts, she for some reason, her heart felt soft, the men in the mortal world, there would always be heartless ones, there would also be devoted ones
The late night, deserted, only at a unknown area deep inside the forest, the cries of the wild insects reverberated in, the looht breeze blew, the branches in the forest swayed, ently placed Xiao Hui on the ground, stood in the forest, quietly standing, after a long while, she closed her eyes, slightly turning her head, like she was listening for so soul and body to feel the taste of freedom in this world
The footstep sounds behind her suddenly stopped, Ghost Li’s voice was heard saying, “The night is late, why hasn’t senior gone to bed?”
The nine-celestial fox did not open her eyes and did not even turn around, only unhurriedly said, “What about you! Why are you not asleep?”
Ghost Li was quiet for awhile, said, “I can’t sleep”
The nine-tailed celestial fox turned around, looked at hi some nervousness?”
Ghost Li did not speak, the once alhts suddenly reneith hope, he could not not feel excited by it and thus insomnia
The nine-tailed celestial fox sht around her also see, I will like to tell you”
Ghost Li quickly said, “Senior, please say”
The nine-tailed celestial fox glared at him, said, “That can you not callbad about you but just that don’t you know if you keep calling a woman senior here and senior there, it will make that person turn old, it is very rude you know?”
Ghost Li was speechless
So no ht hundred years old, as long as it was a wo…
“Then, how shall I address you?” Ghost Li carefully asked
That lady was stunned when she heard it and then an exasperated expression surfaced, after a long while she then faintly said, “That’s right! What shall I be called? I have long forgotten my name Why not this way, since you saw my true white fox self, then you can just call me Xiao Bai”
[Translator’s note: Bai means white]
“Xiao Bai…” Ghost Li aardly called out once, his expression very peculiar
The nine-tailed fox seeaze around and saw thearound, and then thought of soht, then what is the na hiht?”
Ghost Li said, “I adopted this , I called it Xiao Hui”
The nine-tailed celestial fox, as also the gentle and lovely lady called Xiao Bai noas astonished and then laughed, she stretched her hand to carry Xiao Hui up, assessed it, her eyes full of smiles, said, “He he, we indeed have affinity, you are called Xiao Hui, I arinned, [zhi zhi] laughed, placing itsvery intimate
Ghost Li stood aside, saw the scene there, for aAfter a while, he shook his head in the dark and quietly walked away
