"Fellow, please come this way. I've already sent a voice transmission to the city of Tengzhou and arranged a place for you to stay …"
The black-robed elder of Green Hill who had stayed behind to accompany Fang Xing stepped forward and led Fang Xing eastwards, naturally interrogating Fang Xing along the way. Fang Xing only called himself Xing Fang and was an itinerant cultivator who wandered about. He could easily tell all sorts of lies, but it was enough to dispel the black-robed elder's concerns. Before he finished, they had already arrived at a place hidden by a sea of clouds.
"This is the city of Tengzhou?"
Fang Xing was rather surprised when he saw this. To his surprise, he realized that the Tengzhou City did not look like a human city at all. Instead, it was a huge mountain that was hidden by thick clouds. After entering the city, there were rarely any huge buildings of different styles. Almost all the buildings were built against the mountains, and they rose and fell unevenly. Meanwhile, the old man directly brought Fang Xing to a courier house.
The hostel was called the Thousand Peaks Garden, and it was clearly a branch directly established by the Daemon Court. It was used to entertain distinguished guests of the Daemon race, but due to the three-thousand-year truce between humans and the Daemon race, there were many interactions between them. Most human cultivators with status who came here would be settled in the Thousand Peaks Garden, but there were far fewer human cultivators now due to the tense state of war, and not a single one could be seen.
True to its name, the Garden of Thousand Peaks was a valley filled with mountains. Abodes or palaces were built on each of the mountains, and there were even spirit flowers and rare herbs growing there. It was an altar for preaching scriptures and comprehending the Dao. It could be said that it was specially set up for cultivators. Qingqiu Mountain was quite generous in helping Fang Xing set up the most extravagant mountain in the Garden of Thousand Peaks. It had its own Spirit Gathering Formation and was expensive.
Even so, Fang Xing understood that he had heard the Great Golden Crow mention many times that inviting a distinguished guest to their ancestral ground was a sincere reception. The Green Hill had never once said anything about inviting Fang Xing to their ancestral ground, which was clearly a sign that they were wary of him. Moreover, it could also be because they felt that Fang Xing's cultivation was too low and did not think much of him.
"You can cultivate here in peace for the time being. Her Highness will naturally come and thank you in person when she's free …"
The old fox spoke very politely, allowing Fang Xing to settle down in peace.
Fang Xing, however, was rather displeased. "I still have things to do. Can't you hurry up with your princess?"
The old fox was left speechless, not expecting Fang Xing to be so direct. He paused before continuing, "Her Highness is busy, and the Ninth Princess's family has just returned to the Green Hill. It will take time to make all the arrangements, so please forgive me, Fellow. Also, forgive me for being blunt, but the Northern Daemon Lands has always been biased against human cultivators. It's best if you don't go out often, Fellow. If there's anything urgent, I can do it for you!"
"Then forget it!"
Fang Xing waved him off, not mentioning that he was looking for the Golden Crows of Mount Fusang.
He had heard from the Great Golden Crow that while the Eight Lineages of the Daemon Court were one in name, they were in fact constantly at odds with each other. Grudges and grudges could not be resolved at the moment, and since the situation was unclear, it was best to have as little trouble as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.
He stayed in the Thousand Peaks Garden for three days, and life was rather leisurely. The Green Hill had selected two young children for Fang Xing to order around, and he ordered them to fetch whatever he needed from the Thousand Peaks Garden's main hall. He did not have to pay for it, and the Green Hill would settle the bill. The elder of the Green Hill also stayed on the peak where Fang Xing was, holding a banquet every day to talk about romance, scripture, and spells. It was quite a carefree life.
However, the princess of Qingqiu Hill who had promised to come soon was nowhere to be seen. If not for the opportunity to ask for the Fire Seed of Divinity, Fang Xingzhen would have waited impatiently and turned to leave.
Fortunately, three days later, the princess of the Green Hill, Qiu Xianji, finally arrived surrounded by a group of maids and guards.
From afar, the phoenix chariot and colorful carriage could be seen, surrounded by a celestial air, as if a fairy from the Nine Heavens had descended to the mortal world. Fang Xing stood on the peak and looked from afar. He saw the fairy walking over, and from the peaks on both sides, lights would fly out from time to time, bowing beside the phoenix chariot. The fairy would either nod in acknowledgment, stop for a chat, or directly invite them to travel together, appearing to have a good affinity with Dao and a celestial air.
When they arrived at the mountain peak, the Immortal Fairy bowed to Fang Xing and said, "Greetings, Fellow Xing. I should have come earlier, but because I was busy with matters in the mountain, I didn't have the time to thank you today. Please forgive me. I have already ordered people to prepare immortal wine, spirit fruits, and rare delicacies. I have also invited a few outstanding Demon Clan elites to accompany me to the Green Platform Banquet to thank Fellow Xing for protecting me. I hope Fellow Xing will not decline!"
At the woman's politeness, Fang Xing could only cup his hands and smile. "The food and lodging here are good, there's no harm in waiting for a few days!"
He then looked to the side of the Fox Fairy and smiled. "Little girl, you've become much more handsome!"
Beside the Fox Fairy was the fox girl Little One, who had changed into a different outfit. Her dress was now as white as snow, and she was covered in jewels. She was a far cry from when she was with Fang Xing, and it was evident from their attire that the little foxes were indeed of the royal bloodline of the Green Hill. Once they returned to the Green Hill, they had completely bid farewell to their previous lives and turned into little princesses.
Little Yi was teased by Fang Xing's words and blushed a little. She turned to look at the Fox Immortal Fairy. The Fox Immortal Fairy nodded her head and smiled shyly. She jumped down from the cloud and came to Fang Xing's side. She gently pulled the corner of his clothes.
"Let's go!"
The Fox Fairy smiled and invited Fang Xing up. Fang Xing was all smiles and prepared to climb onto the fox girl's carriage, but the maidservant beside him forced him to the carriage at the back, which left him rather dissatisfied. Fortunately, the fox girl Little One sat at the back with him, while the elder of the Green Hill, Ivy, who had accompanied Fang Xing for three days, leaped onto a cloud carriage and accompanied Fang Xing.
The group of them floated on the cloud and arrived at a white jade platform at the center of the Garden of Thousand Peaks. Runes were faintly discernible here, and Spirit Qi was oppressive. Beside it was a waterfall, ancient pines, and grotesque rocks. Spirit herbs and flowers grew everywhere, while spirit birds flew past from time to time. It was the place where an ancient demonic immortal often discussed Dao, and now that the ancient immortal was gone, it became a sacred sight of the Daemon Court.
The disciples of the demonic race would often hold banquets and discuss Dao here, for one, to comprehend the ancient immortal's will, and two, to pay homage to their predecessors.
Of course, from Fang Xing's point of view, this was just trying to be cultured. Who did the ancient immortal know who you were …
When they arrived at the white jade platform, they saw maidservants and strong men coming and going. Small tables were already set up, and there were fine wine and delicacies, the fragrance of fruits assailing their nostrils. There were already a few handsome men seated, and when they saw the fox girl's carriage, they all stood up to welcome her. The fox girl waited for Fang Xing, and they took their seats together. She smiled and introduced them to each other. This was the prodigy of the rhinoceros race, and that was the elite of the crocodile race …
When she mentioned Fang Xing, she said, "This fellow Daoist here is the righteous human Xing Fang, who did not hesitate to escort the orphaned fox back. This kindness is hard to express, and the fox clan will always remember this kindness. Fellow Daoist Xing will always be a friend of the fox clan!"
Fang Xing laughed and cupped his fists to the crowd. "You're too polite …"
When the demonic cultivators saw that he was a human cultivator, their expressions became somewhat playful. After all, now that conflict was about to break out, there were many conflicts between the human race and the demonic race. However, the fox girl had already emphasized that this was the benefactor of the fox clan, so the demonic cultivators didn't say much. They all greeted him in a friendly manner. When it came to this kind of superficial skill, Fang Xing was also very good at it. He laughed and made friends with the demonic cultivators, and they all sat down.
When the fox girl saw that Zhu Xiu had sat down, she once again raised her cup to thank Fang Xing. She drank with the demonic cultivators, and it seemed to be a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
As Fang Xing drank, he glanced at the fox girl's beautiful face. His eyes flickered, and he looked as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
The fox girl seemed to be aware of his gaze, but she didn't look sideways. She talked and laughed with the people around her, and there was no unnatural feeling in her expression. For a genius like her who was famous for her beauty and talent, she was already used to this kind of gaze.
However, when the other demonic cultivators saw this, they sneered in their hearts, thinking that this human guy really had bad intentions. However, his identity alone was destined to make him unable to stand in the Northern Continent. Just look at his cultivation level in the early stage of the Gold Core Realm, and his Dharma Will in the Gold Core is indifferent, which can be said to be a waste core. How dare he dream of the first beauty of the demonic cultivators? Isn't this a joke?
However, everyone had their own thoughts, but they didn't know that what Fang Xing was thinking was: Why hasn't this woman mentioned anything about the reward?
We are still waiting for the divine fire here, so hurry up and mention it!
If you don't, I'll be too embarrassed to mention it. Master Fang is a person who cares about his face, how could he do such a thing …
After three rounds of wine, the fox girl finally spoke, looking at Fang Xing with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Xing, you have worked tirelessly to send the bloodline of the Fox Clan back home. I offer you another toast …" As she spoke, she raised her jade cup and gestured to Fang Xing from afar. "There's something else that I don't know if I should say. Fellow Daoist, you have a strong sense of brotherhood. Although it's not for money, I …"
Fang Xing hurriedly raised his cup, his eyes shining as he thought, I'm doing it for money, hurry up and say it …
Before he could finish his thought, the fox girl had already continued with a smile. "I have nothing to repay you with, but I'm willing to wait for an empty position. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Xing, about being a foreign elder of Qingqiu Foxes? Hehe, leaving aside your kindness of protecting me, the fact that you're already a Gold Core cultivator at such a young age is something that Qingqiu Foxes wouldn't dare to slight you. You'll be paid the same as a Gold Core elder of our Fox Clan … "
Fang Xing was dumbfounded at once. What was going on? Where was the promised reward?
