Su Zimo stood up and accidentally woke the little fox beside him.
She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking at Su Zimo instinctively.
Instantly, she was invigorated.
She purred and blushed. Hurriedly, she lowered her head and covered her eyes with her tiny paws, grumbling internally, "Stupid scholar, you're taking off your clothes again!"
Su Zimo removed his green robes, revealing his almost flawless body.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment before a series of crackling sounds could be heard from his body. His tendons and bones rang together as he grew taller. His flesh expanded and even his facial features changed!
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo turned into a burly man that was two meters tall. His face was rough, his brows were thick and his eyes were huge – there was no longer any trace of delicateness.
The little fox stole a glance and was stunned, dumbfounded.
"How did he change into someone else in the blink of an eye?"
"I must have slept too much …"
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked again.
The outcome was the same.
Initially, the little fox was a little flustered at the sight of a stranger. However, she composed herself in the blink of an eye and tilted her head, looking at Su Zimo curiously.
Although Su Zimo's appearance had changed, his unique aura had not.
The little fox had been by his side for the past few days and was extremely familiar with that aura.
Su Zimo withdrew a rough linen robe from his storage bag and wore it.
This time round, he intended to fight for the Vermilion Fruit as the successor of Divine Phoenix Island!
Back in the ancient battlefield, Su Zimo had killed countless cultivators of Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect.
As for Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect, those two super sects were in the North Region!
Su Zimo did not know if the successors of those two super sects would be alarmed by the appearance of the Vermilion Fruit this time round.
However, he knew that there would definitely be a fierce battle later on!
If he did not conceal his identity, even if he managed to obtain the Vermilion Fruit, he would cause immense trouble for himself and the entire North Region would not tolerate him.
The safest method was to use his status as a descendant of Divine Phoenix Island to fight for the Vermillion Fruit.
After snatching the Vermilion Fruit, he fled far away and reverted back to his original appearance. No one would be able to trace it back to him!
Moreover, with his status as the descendant of Divine Phoenix Island, he had already offended many top influences; he didn't care about making more enemies.
Of course, in this way, many methods that could expose his identity could no longer be used.
He could not use the Ancient Dragonification Manual, Moon Concealment Bow, Blood Quencher or even the Coiling Dragon Seal.
Over the past few days, he had successfully created 27 supreme-grade flying swords. However, the Candlelight Sword Formation was too dazzling and could not be released easily.
On the surface, Su Zimo lacked these methods and his strength was greatly reduced.
However, in reality, Su Zimo would be even more terrifying after he transformed into the successor of Divine Phoenix Island and donned the Mystic Gold Silk Armor!
The monster incarnate that shocked the entire Tianhuang Mainland and haunted the hearts of countless paragons like a nightmare was about to descend upon the North Region!
The little fox looked at the murderous Su Zimo from the side and seemed to have sensed something.
Su Zimo turned around and looked at the obedient little fox beside him. Although he could not bear it, he still said softly, "I'm leaving."
It would be difficult for him to return after this departure.
After obtaining the Vermilion Fruit, he would escape the Great Qian Ruins immediately and would not step foot into this place easily.
The little fox's round, pitch-black eyes gradually dimmed and she lowered her head slightly, unable to conceal her disappointment.
Initially, she thought that Su Zimo would be able to live here with her forever.
Compared to the outside world, although this world was small, it was peaceful and carefree.
With someone accompanying her, the little fox did not feel lonely.
Now that Su Zimo was leaving, she was the only one left.
Su Zimo thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to leave with me?"
The little fox had a lost expression and remained silent.
After living here for decades, she was already used to everything here.
Her aura was left behind on every single rock and corner.
Although her mother had already passed away and was quiet on the other side, the little fox's heart would calm down each time she caught sight of her mother.
This place was like her home.
The little fox had never thought of leaving.
Even though she was imprisoned by the Scarlet Armored Gigantic Crocodile, she merely wanted to chase it away one day and not leave on her own.
But now …
The little fox was lost and did not know what to do, merely looking at Su Zimo in a daze.
Su Zimo sighed internally.
He could more or less guess the little fox's thoughts.
However, he could not force something as such.
The man and fox exchanged glances speechlessly.
After a while, Su Zimo smiled. "Forget it. Although the outside world is filled with novelty, it's also filled with danger. It might not be a good thing for you to leave this place. "
The little fox had never left the underground cave and knew nothing about the outside world.
If she were to leave like this, it would be akin to leaving an innocent and ignorant girl in the middle of the forest of the vast wilderness. There were way too many people who could harm her!
Back then, Su Zimo brought monkey out of Cang Lang Mountain and took in Linghu.
In the end, there was no news of monkey and Linghu for a long time after they left the mountain and their fates were unknown.
Su Zimo was worried that he would not be able to take good care of the little fox if he took her away.
If that was the case, he might as well let her stay here and live out the rest of her life peacefully without conflict.
The little fox did not say anything and merely looked at Su Zimo in a daze without blinking. Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes in a pitiful manner.
Su Zimo was silent.
After standing there for a long time, Su Zimo finally hardened his heart and suppressed the reluctance in his heart. Turning around, he waved to the little fox with his back facing her and strode away.
The little fox looked at Su Zimo's departing back view and the tears in her eyes condensed into two bean-sized teardrops that rolled down silently.
A long time later, the little fox sniffled and reached out with her tiny paws to wipe away the tears on her face. Her gaze was resolute, as though she had made a decision.
She ran back to the piece of land where she was born and looked at the corpse of the fox demon silently.
"Mother, I'm leaving,"
"Although that scholar has a bad habit of taking off his clothes and teasing me at times, he's a good person and would even tell me stories."
The little fox did not know why her mother would come here.
She did not know why her mother refused to leave either.
She was truly way too young when she was just born.
The little fox could vaguely sense that her mother seemed to be guarding something in this underground cave.
It was definitely not the Vermilion Fruit in the palace above the cave.
For the past month, they were the only ones in the underground cave.
While he was forging the flying sword, Su Zimo would occasionally tell the little fox about the legends of the supernatural and the cultivation world. He talked about everything in the mortal realm and the cultivation world.
The little fox had heard from Su Zimo that in his hometown, people had to be buried in peace after death.
The little fox intended to bury the fox demon here as well.
Taking one last look at her mother, the little fox bit her lip and dragged the huge body of the fox demon with all her might. Bit by bit, she sent the fox demon into the boiling red lava. Gradually, it sank and disappeared.
After doing that, the little fox took a deep breath of air. Raising her Fire Blocking Basket, she sprinted in the direction that Su Zimo left.
