Special War God

Zhu Yan kept cursing, glanced at Xia Zhongnan, then suddenly jumped up and fled towards the valley.

Xia Zhongnan's body softened, and he collapsed to the ground again...

He frantically absorbed the vital energy of heaven and earth. He was unwilling to continue this "empty city strategy" for a moment longer.

At this moment, dawn has broken in the sky, and the morning sun bursts out from the horizon, spreading across the entire forest, as if every tree is reborn in the vigorous fairy spirit.

A fairy walked out slowly from behind a towering ancient tree. She was wearing a pink dress, with a graceful and curvaceous figure, black hair draped over her shoulders, apricot cheeks, brows lightly drawn with the elegance of spring mountains, and eyes full of the flow of autumn water...

Xia Zhongnan was dumbfounded. Even if he searched deep in his mind, he could not find a better word to describe the beauty of this woman. He had never expected that there would be such a woman in the world, as if she was carved according to the most beautiful vision of the world, and every move she made was perfect.

Seeing Xia Zhongnan staring at her like that, the woman smiled gently, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, which instantly warmed his heart.

Could this be the legendary cultivating fairy?

The woman whispered as if to herself: "He is indeed a pure human cultivator!"

Xia Zhongnan asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

The woman replied: "My name is Tushan Fang'er, and who are you?"

The sound is like the gurgling of a fairy spring, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when listening to it.

Xia Zhongnan replied: "I am Linghu Chong."

Tu Shan Fang Er said: "Brother Linghu, why are you so cautious and fearful of me, Tu Shan Fang Er? I am not a vicious beast like Qiongqi or Zhuyan, how could I harm you?"

Xia Zhongnan did not feel embarrassed by her blunt words, and replied: "Although Miss Tushan can transform into a human, there are still disputes among the human race, not to mention that I am not close to the girl yet, so it is normal for me to be on guard."

Tu Shan Fang'er said with great emotion: "Brother Linghu is right. You are the first authentic human cultivator I have ever met. I feel close to you and would like to be friends with you."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Why do you feel close to humans? I think it's because you can transform into a human, right?"

Tushan Fang'er revealed a trace of desolation and sighed softly: "In the ancient times, my nine-tailed fox tribe has always lived in harmony with the human race. It is said that Dayu, the emperor of mankind, married Princess Nvjiao of my Tushan tribe. However, Emperor Dayu was busy with flood control. He passed by his home three times but never stepped inside. Nvjiao missed her husband so much that she cooked delicious food every day and sent it to the opposite hilltop to wait for Dayu to return. She waited all day and turned into a rock. People called it the 'Waiting for Husband Rock'. When Dayu returned, he saw his wife turned into stone. He was so sad that he called her name. In an instant, the rock cracked and a baby jumped out. It was the great leader 'Qi' who opened a new era for the human race."

Her words were full of sorrow and told a poignant legend.

Xia Zhongnan had read this story in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas". At that time, he only regarded it as a legend. Today, when he heard this story again from the mouth of the nine-tailed fox, his mood was completely different from before.

He suddenly thought of the legends of ancient China. Why did a fox in this world of cultivation know the details?

Furthermore, the Qiongqi, Zhuyan and the nine-tailed fox recorded in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" have never been seen in the Earth world. It was originally thought that they were just images fabricated by the ancients, but why did they appear in this world of cultivation?

What is the connection between time and space? ...

In the ancient Chinese mythology, are those immortals really real? If they really exist, where are they now? This series of questions gave Xia Zhongnan a headache. He could only put aside his distracting thoughts and asked the person next to him again: "Miss Tushan, where is this fairyland?"

Tu Shan Fang'er replied, "This is the secret realm of the spirit beasts of the upper realm immortal! By the way, Brother Xia has never seen one here before. Could it be that you are the disciple that the immortal recently sent here?"

Xia Zhongnan asked back: "Immortal Venerable? Have you ever had the honor of seeing the Immortal Venerable's true face?"

Tu Shan Fang Er shook her head and said, "The Immortal Venerable has not been here for a long time, and I have never met him before."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "So, has anyone ever had the honor of meeting the Immortal Lord?"

Tu Shan Fang'er replied: "My parents had met the Immortal Lord before they were alive. However, a long, long time ago, when I was still a child, they obeyed the Immortal Lord's call and left. Not only my parents, but also the ancestors of many spirit beast tribes have left one after another."

Xia Zhongnan asked again: "What strange and ferocious beasts still exist in this secret realm?"

Tu Shanfang listed many names in one breath: "Qilin, Heaven-Swallowing Dog, Fei Yi, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Phoenix, Golden Crow, Black Tortoise, Taotie, Bone Carving, Taowu..." She paused, and continued, "There are also some spirit beasts that have not yet fully grown and unfortunately encountered cannibalism, and some even became food for other beasts."

Xia Zhongnan continued to ask: "Then how can we leave this secret realm?"

Tu Shan Fang'er said firmly: "Leaving this place? This is extremely difficult! Unless the Immortal Lord approves, no one can leave without permission."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Have you tried to leave?"

Tu Shan Fang Er smiled bitterly and said, "Try? How to try? This is truly an act against the will of Heaven. How dare I offend the Immortal Lord's will."

Xia Zhongnan added: "That Immortal Venerable is no longer here. You should be able to leave this place."

Tu Shan Fang Er retorted: "This secret place is peaceful and comfortable, why should we leave? Even if we want to leave, where can we go?"

Hearing this, Xia Zhongnan fell into deep thought. At this time, Tu Shan Fang'er suggested: "In fact, Fang'er knows where the edge of this spiritual beast secret realm is. I can lead Brother Xia to explore it together. But there is a condition, please agree to it."

Xia Zhongnan's eyes lit up, thinking that finding clues to the border of the secret realm might be the key to escaping from this place, and quickly responded: "Miss Tushan, please feel free to propose any conditions you have."

Tu Shan Fang Er said: "If Fang Er leads Brother Xia to the border, Brother Xia still needs to stay in the secret realm. I only ask Brother Xia to promise to marry me and live together in this secret beast secret realm."

Xia Zhongnan was stunned when he heard this. Although he knew that Tushan Fang'er was transformed from a nine-tailed fox, she was still a different species. How could they be married? He hesitated and said, "Miss Tushan, even if you are transformed into a human, you are still a nine-tailed fox. Isn't there a so-called racial boundary between us that is difficult to cross?"

Tu Shan Fang Er said disapprovingly: "I don't understand what you humans mean by 'racial boundaries'. Since your human Emperor Yu could marry my fox princess in the past, why can't I marry you? In this secret realm, there are countless exotic beasts who want to marry me, Fang Er, and I have never agreed to any of them!"

Xia Zhongnan thought for a moment and replied, "If I agree to you, how can you do your best to help me leave this secret beast secret realm?"

When Tu Shan Fang'er heard Xia Zhongnan mention the promise, her eyes instantly flashed with intelligence and her delicate cheeks were tinged with a hint of pink, which made Xia Zhongnan's heart beat fast.

She said softly, "Since I have promised Brother Linghu, Fang'er will do my best to help you. This way, when I face my husband in the future, I will have no guilt. Brother is trapped in the secret realm of strange beasts. Perhaps it is God's will that you become Fang'er's Taoist partner!"
