Fang Xing's expression was too shocked, and in the eyes of the vixen, it appeared to be a pleasant surprise. Furthermore, the vixen had a preconceived notion that Fang Xing would not reject her suggestion, and so she laughed softly, her eyes glimmering. "Hehe, perhaps Green Hill isn't big, but it's a place to stay after all. Isn't it better than being an itinerant cultivator, braving the wind and rain all day long?"
At her words, the eyes of the cultivators at the banquet shone brightly, thinking how lucky this human cultivator was to be personally invited to Green Hill by the first beauty of the demonic race. Did that not mean that he would have the chance to spend time with the vixen all day and night?
Moreover, human cultivators who fell into the hands of daemons usually ended up in a miserable state, either reduced to puppets or killed for their cores. Yet, this fellow had leapt to become an esteemed Elder of Green Hill, and there was no need to explain the honor.
Naturally, there were those who were clear-headed who thought deeper and understood the deeper meaning behind the vixen's actions.
The daemons had taken in many human cultivators as Elders. After all, the three thousand years of truce had long eased the situation.
There were even many Human Clan families that had taken root in the area of the Demon Court. After thousands of years, they had countless connections with the major bloodlines of the Demon Clan. In the current situation, inviting the Human Clan cultivators to be elders was even more useful. After all, if there really was a war between the Human Clan cultivators and the Demon Clan cultivators, these Human Clan cultivators would be of great use with their status …
Everyone had their own thoughts, and stopped their conversations to look at Fang Xing.
The vixen Xiao Yi was even hugging Fang Xing's arm, her eyes filled with anticipation, as if she very much wanted him to agree.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Xing sighed helplessly and said, "I'm very grateful for Fairy Fox's kindness, but I'm used to wandering around and really don't wish to stay in any place. I appreciate your kindness!"
The cultivators frowned when they heard that, as if they did not expect the fellow to refuse.
Princess Fox was slightly taken aback as well, and said softly, "Does fellow Xing have any grudges or enemies that you're worried about bringing trouble to our Green Hill? Don't worry, fellow. Our Green Hill has no problem protecting one person! "
"Enemies? Haha, no, no, I'm such an honest person … "
Fang Xing hurriedly laughed, but in his heart, he was thinking, If I tell you my enemies, you will be scared to death!
"Then is there something that you can't say? Whether it's the treasures needed for cultivation or the cultivation methods, Green Hill Mountain … "
The fox girl still wanted to say more. Her eyes were clear and gentle, and she seemed slightly disappointed. She seemed to be full of sincerity, as if she really wanted Fang Xing to stay.
If an ordinary person saw the fox girl acting like this, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to stand it. However, Fang Xing was a little annoyed. He thought that this woman would never stop, so he directly said, "It's not that, I just don't intend to stay. If fairy wants to thank me, then change the method!"
Such a direct refusal left the scene rather awkward. The fox girl sighed softly and did not mention it again, and after a brief pause, she said softly, "It's my fault for being rude. I wonder if there's anything you need in your cultivation, but whatever Green Hill Mountain has, we can …" Her interest was waning as she spoke, probably believing that Fang Xing would reject her outright and leave.
She did not expect that Fang Xing had been waiting all day for her to say those words. Delighted, he said, "There is. In fact, what I want the most is such a Fire Seed that can help me understand Fire Will. If Green Hill Mountain has it, then give me a dozen or twenty of them. If they don't … then a few will do. If push comes to shove, give me some spiritual essence ores or elixirs. I'll make do with it. I'm not picky!"
As he spoke, he showed the Fire Seed that had lost its divinity to the fox girl, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Was that even possible?
How could there be anyone in this world who would reject a beauty like the fox girl and even shamelessly ask for a reward?
The podium fell silent at once, with countless gazes staring at Fang Xing.
Fang Xing, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and looked at the fox girl with sincerity, even lightly shaking the crystal Fire Seed between his fingers.
There was some hesitation on the fox girl's face, and it was a long time before she said, "Since Brother Xing has spoken, I should not refuse, but … ah, Brother Xing might not understand, but the divine Fire Seed you speak of is what we call Immortal Essence. It is a fragment of the spirit of the Daemon Ancestor after he perished, and its value is inestimable. There are only three of them in all of Green Hill …"
Fang Xing did a double take before he generously said, "Just give me two!"
The fox girl was at a loss for words again.
"Bang …"
Among the guests, a man as thin as a bamboo suddenly slammed the table and rose to his feet. His name was Zhu Qingzi, and he was a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake that had cultivated into a spirit. His innate talent was not weak, and he had reached Golden Core realm in less than four hundred years of cultivation. However, he had no background and seemed to have always wanted to serve the fox clan, which was why he was the most protective of the fox girl. Now that he saw the fox girl in a difficult position, he slammed the jade table and looked over menacingly. "What an arrogant human cultivator! Her Highness has taken the initiative to invite you, and you're not giving her face?"
As he shouted, the other guests also slammed the table and rose to their feet, instantly shedding their friendly expressions and glaring at him.
Speechless, Fang Xing rolled his eyes at them. "What does it have to do with you?"
All the demon cultivators were people with extraordinary status in the demon clan. Otherwise, they would not have had the right to sit at the fox girl's banquet. They were already a little hostile towards Fang Xing, who was a human cultivator. Previously, they had only pretended to be polite to him because of the fox girl. Now that they saw that he had actually brushed off the fox girl's face and acted so arrogantly in front of them, killing intent instantly rose in several of them …
"You still want to ask for the fairy essence? Do you really think you're a great hero who saved our demon clan?"
"You actually dared to reject the fox girl's good intentions. You think too highly of yourself. Why don't you let me weigh your worth!"
"Just now, this lowly person was secretly looking at Her Highness. I've long disliked him. Let me swallow him in one gulp!"
"In my demon clan's territory, inviting you to a banquet is already giving you face. Since you don't know how to appreciate kindness, let's just take you down and make you into an adult banquet!"
All of a sudden, it was as if they had poked a hornet's nest. The demon cultivators were either hostile to human cultivators or wanted to perform well in front of the fox girl. Almost all of them began to clamor and looked at Fang Xing with ferocious eyes. Their dense killing intent was almost interwoven into a net. If it wasn't for the fact that they were at the fox girl's banquet, they would have already rushed up to him.
This scene scared the fox girl so much that her face turned green. Her small body trembled as she stood in front of Fang Xing.
As for Fang Xing, he didn't put these demons in his eyes at all. He looked at the fox girl with a smile.
The fox girl frowned slightly, like a sad ink painting. She gently pressed her palm down and said, "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be so anxious. No matter what, Fellow Daoist Xing is someone who has done a great favor for my Fox Clan. Don't hurt our harmony …"
When the demons heard her words, they became even more excited. Each one of them shouted that they would capture Fang Xing and force him to apologize to the fox girl. With a "peng" sound, in the midst of the noise, a glass wine jug the size of a head flew over. It brushed past Fang Xing's head and smashed into pieces on the dao platform. Fang Xing's heart suddenly turned cold. He looked at the direction where the wine jug had flown from.
In that direction, a rhinoceros spirit in full armor gave him a provocative thumbs up. His eyes were filled with ferocity.
This group of demons obviously wanted to force Fang Xing to make the first move. This way, they would be able to capture him.
The fox girl's face also revealed a bit of worry. She sighed and was about to speak again when suddenly, a maid flew over from the distance and whispered something in her ear. The fox girl was startled and looked up. She saw that on the west side of the dao platform, there was a beautiful woman wearing a light golden robe standing on top of a large tree. She was lonely and looking in their direction.
The fox girl hesitated for a moment and then nodded her head gently. The golden-robed woman was overjoyed. She quickly flew over and landed on the dao platform. The demons on the dao platform were silent and looked at her coldly. The golden-robed woman's cheeks were red and she smiled. She bowed to the fox girl and said, "Sister Fairy, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really missed you!"
The fox girl smiled and said, "Sister Sang 'er, I haven't seen you in a long time. You don't usually come to see me!"
The golden-robed woman's eyes were red and she forced a smile. "How could I not miss sister? You also know about the recent events in our clan …" Hearing her say this, someone suddenly sneered. It was the rhinoceros demon cultivator who was coldly looking at the woman. The golden-robed woman suddenly became timid and pretended not to hear it. She continued to smile and said, "In the past, when I missed sister, I would directly fly over. Now, it's not easy to go out. This time, I came out after begging Uncle Gen for a long time. You also know that Uncle Gen's health is not good. He needs to rest for half a day after saying a word. I begged him from the morning until the morning of the next day. I took advantage of him not paying attention to sneak out. He still wants to chase me back, but he can't fly as fast as me. I'm still worried that he will scold me when I return …"
The woman's voice was clear, crisp, and fast. It suddenly suppressed the voices of the cultivators.
The fox girl wanted to interrupt several times, but she couldn't. She could only forcibly interrupt her and said with a smile, "Sister Sang 'er, don't be in a hurry to speak. Since you are here, take a seat first. I just happen to have a human friend that I want to introduce to you …"
The golden-robed woman glanced at Fang Xing, sighed, and said, "A human cultivator. Alas, my cousin said that he also knows a human cultivator … Alas, what's the point of saying this? Sister Immortal Fairy, I sent you so many messages before, but you didn't reply to me. I was worried that you wouldn't ignore me, right? But then I thought, how could you be like this, so I came personally. I felt that you would definitely help me, you would help me, right … Hey, who is it, bring me a stool …"
The fox girl Fairy Fairy's expression turned ugly from her words. She wanted her to shut up, but she did not know how to say it. All she could do was stand up and say, "Sister Sang 'er, let's go to the back mountain to talk!" With that said, she did not allow the golden-robed woman to say anything else. Her figure gently floated down, holding her hand, and pulled her to the back of the mountain. The woman was still nagging for someone to bring her a stool.
Even after the two women left, the Fey cultivators did not react. No one spoke for a long time.
Instead, it was Fang Xing who seemed to think of something. His eyes lit up slightly as he frowned.
At that moment, there was a sudden "whoosh". A round object came flying at Fang Xing. Fang Xing suddenly turned around and reached out to grab the object. It was a spirit fruit. He brought it to his mouth and took a bite. His gaze coldly looked in the direction of the fruit. He saw the stout rhinoceros spirit pointing at Fang Xing and laughing with a provocative look.
"Hehe, fool of the human race. Princess Fox is no longer around. Why don't we spar?"
