The little fox was puzzled.
The man in front of it had the exact same features as Jiang Chen, so why did he emit such a foul stench?
It clearly remembered that Jiang Chen smelled good.
It was also confused. Why did it feel such an instinctive repulsion and disgust under such a foul smell, yet also felt an urge to throw itself into the man’s arms?
Was it like some habit formed over many years?
The Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, understanding human hearts, knew good from evil.
The little fox was certain that the man before it was a bad person.
But why… why did it feel heart-wrenching pain and an urge to cry, yet unable to shed tears, upon seeing this bad person?
Why?
Why was all of this happening…It wanted to run away, to get far from the stench-ridden man before it.
But the familiar features compelled it to move forward against its better judgment.
“Human, what is your name?” it asked.
The response was Jiang Chen’s silence.
“Please, tell me your name,” it begged.
Jiang Chen remained silent.
At that moment, the little fox felt as if its heart was being torn apart.
The human it had longed for was right in front of it, but he seemed unwilling to speak.
It didn’t want to give up and opened its mouth to speak again: “I…”
“Scram.”
Jiang Chen interrupted coldly.
A simple word, yet it made the little fox hear the sound of its own heart breaking.
It kept shaking its head and backing away, constantly telling itself that the person in front of it was not Jiang Chen, or at least not the Jiang Chen from its memories and dreams.
Jiang Chen wouldn’t smell so bad, nor would he be so fierce towards it.
The Jiang Chen in its dreams had a smile that touched the heart, but the smile of the man before it now was extremely sinister.
“I don’t know you. I definitely don’t know you!” it roared before turning to run away.
But after taking a few steps, the little fox stopped and looked back.
“If you don’t scram, I’ll skin you alive!” Jiang Chen’s cold voice rang out again.
The little fox didn’t respond but started to move again. Soon, it had darted into the dense ancient forest, disappearing without a trace.
“Eldest Senior Brother, that fox is quite special. After its Shape Transformation, it will definitely become a beauty! Should I catch it for you?” Zhang Hu suddenly suggested.
“If you dare touch it, I’ll kill you,” Jiang Chen threatened, his gaze fixed on the ancient forest.
Zhang Hu shivered and dared not say another word.
Unnoticed by all, when the little fox had arrived, both Lin Mubai and Xiao Hongyi in the sky above had their pupils shrink. And after the little fox had left, although they both breathed a sigh of relief, they also shook their heads in silence.
Others might not know, but they were very clear.
Did Jiang Chen hate that white fox? The answer was no.
Because through nine cycles of reincarnation, that white fox was a ray of light in Jiang Chen’s heart… Although the white fox had also caused Jiang Chen harm, it was nothing compared to what they had done, many times better.
“Zhang Hu, if someone often forgot you, would you hate them?” Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
“I suppose I would,” Zhang Hu cautiously replied.
“Hmm, I used to be as well, but later I came to an understanding and stopped feeling that way.”
“Why?”
“Because it, it never wanted to forget me in the first place.”
Zhang Hu didn’t understand but still nodded incessantly, as if to say “Eldest Senior Brother speaks such profound truth.”
Jiang Chen smiled and looked away.
He clearly remembered the little fox calling out his name just now.
He was a bit puzzled since they hadn’t met in this life yet. But then he thought of Chen Sheng’s character, who liked to boast about how awesome he was everywhere, and he let it go.
At that moment, a young man with a sinister look suddenly appeared.
“How presumptuous! A nobody dares to claim to have the stature of a great emperor? I am the third true disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect, do you dare to fight me?”
“You’re out of luck,” Jiang Chen said, looking away.
“I’m not in a good mood right now.”
……
Elsewhere, the little fox trudged through the dense forest, occasionally stopping and looking back in the direction of Jiang Chen.
It was heartbroken because Jiang Chen had told it to scram and even threatened to skin it.
It kept comforting itself, telling itself that the person just now was not the Jiang Chen who had named it. But the familiar facial features kept reminding it over and over.
That person was Jiang Chen, the Jiang Chen it longed for day and night…
And because of this, even though the stench was nauseating and the aversion instinctive, it still couldn’t let go.
“Boom!”
A loud noise came from afar, and the sky and earth changed color.
It was Chen Sheng and the six-tailed old woman clashing.
The little fox had no interest in these matters.
It knew its grandmother would be fine, and as for Chen Sheng?
It didn’t care about the well-being of that bad old man at all.
Moreover, it even wondered if it was Chen Sheng who had led Jiang Chen astray, causing such a drastic change in him! In any case, the little fox was in despair.
It could endure Jiang Chen’s stench and his changes, but it couldn’t bear Jiang Chen speaking to it as if he had forgotten it with such malice.
At this moment, it didn’t know that Jiang Chen had never forgotten it. Rather, it was itself who had forgotten the man it regarded as dear to its life, time and again.
Suddenly, the little fox felt sleepy.
It found a corner to lie down in and closed its eyes slightly.
The world roared around its ears, but it quickly fell into a dream.
This dream was different from the others.
Above the sky, three golden characters shone: 【First Life】
Although it was still in the Hengduan Mountain Range, what appeared before it was an Enlightenment Tree, radiant with spiritual light.
At the same time, at the Second Peak of the Jiuyan Sect, inside the jade coffin at the base of the peak, the Nine Abyss Old Ancestor had been staying inside ever since he used the Nine Abyss Soul Embryo to recover his soul power.
Now, he no longer had to feign death. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but rather he couldn’t.
If he left, he would have to either hold or lie inside the jade coffin, which would be somewhat undignified for an Old Ancestor.
During this time, the Nine Abyss Old Ancestor was in a fairly good mood.
After all, he no longer had to play dead, and although he had become a soul, this also indirectly extended his life.
He had begun to plan. He would spare no expense to seize Old Man Tianji’s opportunity to help himself rebuild his body!
Only in this way could he prove himself as a great emperor and defy the heavens!
He also vaguely sensed that this might be the purpose of the mysterious force that kept showing him the nine cycles of reincarnation.
The protagonist Lin Feng, with Jiang Chen and a bunch of lunatics to abuse…
Lin Feng’s grandfather naturally had to be matched with a suitable opponent, and that opponent was him!
To this, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor was not only unopposed but actually extremely excited.
After all, during the last nine cycles of reincarnation, he had witnessed the power of the emperor firsthand, and now his fighting spirit was reignited.
What pleased the Jiuyan Old Ancestor the most was that he truly didn’t have to watch the nine cycles of reincarnation anymore.
The reason was simple.
The crazies of the Jiuyan Sect had had their fill, and now he had reverted to a soul state with zero lifespan left, with no life to waste.
“Haha.”
Thinking of this, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor burst into laughter.
But as soon as the laughter fell, he sensed something was amiss.
The soul power that had just been fully restored was vanishing at an alarmingly fast rate.
Such a bizarre situation immediately made him think of something.
Sure enough, the view before his eyes began to distort and change, and soon he found himself becoming one with the universe, trapped in the nine cycles of reincarnation.
“This little fox has nothing to do with me, not by a long shot! Do I also have to watch this?!”
At this moment, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor truly felt like he was going mad.
