Chapter 14150 The Little Fox's Opportunity
This aura contrasted sharply with the desolate Sea God Palace and the surging, slightly evil demonic energy within Ling Xiao's body, as if it were the opposition of light and darkness, the collision of purity and evil.

Ling Xiao walked briskly through the strange mist swirling in the magic needle space and went straight to the girl.

He leaned down slightly, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, and softly called out, "Ah Li?"

The girl's long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were as clear as a mountain stream, pure and untouched by the world, with a hint of bewilderment from just emerging from a meditative state. She looked at Ling Xiao with a questioning look and asked, "Brother Ling?"

"what happened?"

The sound was clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley, echoing in the silent Magic Needle space.

Ling Xiao's eyes were full of doting affection, his gaze so tender it seemed to drip with affection.

He gently took the girl's fair, jade-like hand and said with a smile, "Come on, brother will take you to see someone; there's a great opportunity there!"

"It might greatly increase your strength, so you can better protect yourself in the future."

A hint of curiosity and excitement flashed in the girl's eyes, and she nodded obediently: "Okay, if Brother Ling said there's a great opportunity, then it must be true."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky.

The two figures vanished instantly into the magic needle space, leaving only the gradually dissipating strange light, as if telling that they had just been there.

Outside, at the heart of the Neptune Palace ruins, all is deathly silent and desolate.

The crumbling walls, weathered by time, exude an aura of vicissitude and mystery.

As soon as the little fox Ahri appeared, the once calm gaze of the green-robed man's phantom instantly rippled violently, like the surface of a lake tossed with a boulder!
Those eyes, which had been calm for countless millennia, were now filled with shock and disbelief.

His gaze was fixed on the little fox, his sharp eyes seemingly possessing the power to penetrate everything, piercing through her body and reaching her very core, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets within her.

"This...this is..."

Even with the vast experience of the green-robed man's illusory form, having witnessed countless rare treasures and rare materials, his voice now carried an undisguised hint of surprise and...excitement?
The voice trembled slightly, as if it had seen something incredible.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao quickly stepped forward, a hint of pride on his face, as if he were showing off his most precious treasure, and introduced, "Senior, this is my younger sister, Ali."

"Look at her qualifications... do they meet your standards, senior?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, looking expectantly at the illusory figure of the man in the green robe, hoping to gain the other's approval.

The illusory figure in the green robe completely ignored Ling Xiao's urgent words. His illusory figure floated forward a few steps, silently approaching the little fox like a ghost.

His gaze was intense, as if he were admiring a rare treasure, and he murmured to himself, "Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline... This bloodline is extremely rare, and those who are born with it possess powerful magic and talent."

"No, it seems to have also incorporated a trace of innate Daoist essence... This innate Daoist essence is a mysterious power that existed since the beginning of time. To be able to merge with it is an incredible stroke of luck."

"Pure and flawless, naturally inclined to the Dao, and able to communicate with all beasts... Such talent is one in a million!"

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he saw the future hope of the Sea God Palace and the dawn of its continued legacy.

The little fox felt a little embarrassed by the man in the green robe's intense and sharp gaze. A shy blush rose on her fair cheeks, like a peach blossom in spring.

She instinctively shrank behind Ling Xiao, her small body pressed tightly against his back, her little hands gripping the hem of his clothes as if it were her only support in this unfamiliar and stressful environment.

The illusory figure in the green robe finally shifted its gaze, which seemed to see through everything, from the little fox for a moment, and slowly looked at Ling Xiao.

His voice held an unprecedented gentleness, though that gentleness was still so faint as to be almost imperceptible: "She's your sister?"

The tone carried a hint of inquiry, as if the speaker was filled with curiosity about the relationship between the two.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao was speechless and rolled his eyes, saying, "Senior, your eyesight isn't very good either. Look, she's a nine-tailed celestial fox, exuding a lively fox clan aura; and I'm just an ordinary human, how could I possibly have such a peculiar sister!"

The illusory figure of the man in the green robe nodded slightly, as if acknowledging Ling Xiao's statement.

When he looked at the little fox again, his eyes were like those of a gourmand seeing a delicacy—greedy and burning with desire.

His voice was unusually gentle, with a hint of coaxing, as if he were afraid of startling the precious treasure before him: "Little girl, are you willing... to inherit the lineage of my Sea God Palace and carry on the supreme path of my Sea God Palace?"

"This is an opportunity that countless people dream of. Once you accept it, you will embark on a path of cultivation leading to the pinnacle, possessing powerful magic and an unparalleled status."

The little fox blinked its clear, watery eyes, which were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

She looked at Ling Xiao with a helpless expression, as if seeking his help and wanting to get an answer from him.

Seeing the little fox's confused look, Ling Xiao immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes frantically gesturing: Quickly agree!

Say yes quickly!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if you miss it, you'll never have another chance.

The little fox had absolute trust in Ling Xiao. In her heart, Ling Xiao was the omnipotent person who would always protect her and guide her.

Although she didn't quite understand what accepting the Sea God Palace's lineage specifically meant, seeing Ling Xiao so excited and expectant, she obediently nodded, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell: "I'm willing, senior."

A faint, yet undeniably real, smile finally appeared on the face of the illusory man in the green robe.

That smile was like a crack appearing in an ancient iceberg, revealing a hint of warmth and relief.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Great!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, which shows how excited he was.

With that, he flicked his sleeve, and a gentle, spring-like azure energy slowly lifted the little fox.

The azure energy, as if alive, gently surrounded the little fox, seemingly protecting this spirit that would soon bear the hopes of the Sea God Palace.

Seeing the little fox being steadily lifted up by the gentle yet mysterious azure energy halo, and drifting leisurely towards the depths of the ruins along with the illusory figure of the man in the green robe, Ling Xiao felt an urge to follow.
