Was it the same person?
Ren Suo didn’t dare to confirm it because the game screen came with a certain degree of beautification and was also in 2D. Ren Suo just found it to be rather familiar.
Besides, Dong Chengling was a little different from the girl who Ren Suo remembered.
Well at least, Ren Suo remembered that the girl whom he had seen during breakfast, had long and beautiful legs… No, no, well, her legs were intact anyway.
However, the Dong Chengling in his screen was wheelchair-bound and was trying to pry the gap open painstakingly.
Apart from Old Zhao, there were two other people who were coming out of the gap but Dong Chengling was still in the enclosed space and seemed to have never once appeared.
As long as Ren Suo activates ‘Spirit Vision’ he would be able to see the fading aura of light on them, which was emitting a gilded glow. Clearly, they were also among the best reverends in the Xuan Nation.
When they appeared, there were plenty of ripples around them that seemed to be a revolutionized and improved version of “Spell and Clothing”.
They stood behind Old Zhao and protected him with their elongated “Clothing”.
The nine-tailed fox asked, “The girl just now …”
Old Zhao said smilingly, “We’re in the bustling district now, and it isn’t too convenient for us to speak here. Why don’t you follow us to the embassy where we can chat in detail?”
Ren Suo could not help but receive a great shock. He had long thought about the fact that reverends probably could resist temptations but he had never seen it in person before.
The two reverends from Xuan Nation could not only help him resist temptation, but they could also even let ordinary people like Old Zhao attain the defensive power and resistance of the reverends.
Otherwise, Old Zhao would have now spilled the beans about the information that Nine-tailed Fox wanted to know.
However, the charm of the nine-tailed fox must still be effective, though it had shrunk to become more favorable.
Everything that happened next was also not far from Ren Suo’s expectations. Plenty of cars arrived in the Qingkong Street district but Fan Ying’s people had long made preparations beforehand. They rushed to the scene as soon as possible, while Old Zhao and the rest quickly returned to the embassy.
Later on, Nine-tailed Fox rejected Old Zhao’s invitation because it seemed too lowly for a group of celestials to squeeze into a car.
Ren Suo decided to go all out and continue feigning to be powerful and formidable.
A crimson body appeared together with a glow that was as clear as autumn water. The sword’s body was connected to its hilt and there was no crossguard. The long, sword which had a subtle chill, floated in the air and revolved around Nine-tailed Fox.
Nine-tailed Fox said, “I was lucky enough to learn the imperial sword art of the Heavenly Palace. Now that I know the destination, I won’t bother you any longer.”
Before Old Zhao could even speak, Nine-tailed Fox glowed and seemed to hover on top of the celestial sword, after which the sword marked a red lash across the sky.
The people were all stunned to see the miraculous transportation method, and some even grabbed their mobile phones to snap some photos and footage. Those who were lucky enough to capture the scene quickly uploaded them onto Twitter.
Old Zhao was just as shocked to see the celestial sword darting across. However, he hurriedly got inside the car.
The car they were riding had sparks and lightning throughout the entire journey, though they were unsure if it was because of the Universal Spell or Awakening Spell. The cars in front of theirs automatically made way for them, and their journey was unobstructed as if they were traveling on the expressway.
The Fan Ying police, who quickly rushed to the scene, had no choice but to seal the streets in a bid to find some traces of the nine-tailed fox’s appearance.
Why was Ren Suo so clear about their reaction?
Because Nine-tailed Fox had yet to leave.
Where did Nine-tailed Fox get the celestial sword? It was obviously because Ren Suo paused the game and spent an hour surfing the internet for a sword that he used to favor the most. He then made the nine-tailed fox create an illusion in the game. He reckoned that they should have already reached the Xuan Nation embassy in the port area.
The glow of the nine-tailed fox just now was just meant for disguising the “Knight’s Wind” again.
Although Nine-Tailed Fox used “Knight’s Wind” just once, because it exited early, the remaining time was stored and can be consumed before the skill cools down (the time cannot be superimposed after the cooldown is completed).
According to the nine-tailed fox’s current mobile attributes, it could attain a total of 8 minutes of absolute invisibility within 12 hours. Then, it can be cooled for 12 hours with every single use. If all the time must be depleted, the cost performance of this skill would be much lower than the other three.
As for whether or not the exposure of the imperial swordsmanship was illusory, Ren Suo was not at all afraid because he didn’t think that Old Zhao could drive faster than Nine-Tailed Fox could run.
The truth proved to be that case. When Old Zhao and the rest arrived at the embassy, Nine-Tailed Fox had long obscured itself for more than ten minutes using the illusory spell.
The Xuan Nation diplomats were waiting beside the celestial sword in front of the embassy, while a bunch of fully-equipped reporters continuously snapped photos of it from a distance.
By the time Old Zhao got out of the car, the nine-tailed fox activated the “Knight’s Wind” again, and walked towards the celestial sword before them. She then cast some colorful lights to declare her appearance, as if she had possessed the sword.
She said, “It took you guys so long.”
Old Zhao said resignedly, “We’re not as powerful as you are… Come in. How do I address you?”
“I’m the only nine-tailed fox in the Heavenly Palace so you may call me Nine-tailed Fox. ”
However, at this time, a few more cars rushed over, and a few middle-aged men clad in suits and leather shoes quickly got out of the car to greet Nine-tailed Fox. “Greetings, my Excellency from the Heavenly Palace, we are the diplomats of Fan Ying.”
For some reason, the diplomats chose to speak in English. It was perhaps the first impression that the fluent English speaker from “The Hitman” gave them.
Ren Suo could only say that he barely managed to understand what they were saying and his English proficiency level was similar to that of a third-year student in high school. However, it was not Nine-Tailed Fox’s turn to play. The diplomats at the door had already approached to negotiate.
After a while, Nine-tailed Fox sat in the embassy’s elegant room with a blue English shorthair cat in her embrace. Before Lao Zhao spoke, she said, “You’re lucky.”
Old Zhao asked in bewilderment, “Why do you say so?”
Nine-tailed Fox answered, “The one responsible for the spirits here happens to be Xiao Lan, my most beloved feline.”
At this point, Ren Suo was in control of the handle and he stroked the blue English shorthair cat which purred in coordination and pleasure.
“Others in the Heavenly Palace will definitely not come out just because of such a trivial matter… but I have been in the Palace for many years, and Xiao Lan shares the best relationship with me. It is true that there is no merit in igniting the pulse, but if it is obstructed, it will change in shape at the slightest. However, a serious consequence would be death.”
“Didn’t the Ling carp encounter fluctuations and obstructions during the transformation which caused it to be stuck in the midst of transformation?”
‘Ling carp’ was the ancient name of pangolins. In a famous fable of the Ming Dynasty, it was said that someone offered the carp to Shang Lingjun, who thought that it was a dragon. When he found out that it lived on ants, he did not doubt it at all. Some people said that it was a pangolin but Shang Lingjun ordered them to be hung. The pangolin then ran away, causing Shang Lingjun to feel rather agonized. Later, a true dragon appeared and Shang Lingjun enthusiastically invited it to eat some ants. However, he was later destroyed by the dragon.
Ren Suo deliberately used the old name to reveal the age of nine-tailed fox, and Old Zhao quickly answered, “It was only because we did not know that Comrade Pangolin was for the benefit of the Xuan Nation, and hence, caused a misunderstanding. We ended up harming Comrade Pangolin … we will try our best to compensate for it. ”
In the fable, the real dragon showed that the pangolin was fake but in real life, there was no Heavenly Palace and hence, no one could expose Nine-tailed Fox’s true identity.
However, everyone believed in the existence of the Heavenly Palace. Only a genuine force can discover so many secrets, have an unknown number of strong victors and act with a hidden agenda.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the hitman rescued Kallen Lamperouge nor how these little animals would know how to ignite the veins and gain merit and form!
Nine-tailed Fox explained, “If you want to enter the Heavenly door and ignite the spirit veins to gain merits, there would naturally be countless risks. Red dusk was one of them too. Now that you are willing to persuade the countries to assist Xiao Lan, and allow her to take over the national treasure to increase the chance of transformation, I’ll grant your wishes. I’ll descend onto the mortal world again and take charge of trading with you on behalf of the beasts.”
Old Zhao obviously knew what she meant. “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely get Fan Ying to arrange for the National treasure to be brought here. Pardon me for asking, but you won’t take the treasure away, will you?”
Nine-tailed Fox answered, “The national treasure itself is worthless. It’s just made up of ordinary antiquities such as iron, jade, porcelain, and many other materials. However, beasts that have yet to evolve, can increase their success rate by being in contact with these materials. That’s all.”
Old Zhao seemed to be rather relieved. He suddenly took a deep breath, and asked earnestly, “Nine-tailed fox, I would like to ask a question on behalf of Xuan Nation.”
“Is the Heavenly Palace planning to enter the mortal realm?”
