Tang Xinyan suddenly realized that she had gained even more strange and unusual knowledge, but she quickly thought of a question:

"Master, this thing is so random. If I'm a fox one minute and a tiger the next, won't that expose me right away?"

Xiao Yimo smiled:

"Don't worry, there are 20 pills in this bottle, enough for you to stay in the demon realm for more than half a year. If you're still in the demon realm by then..."

"Let your second senior brother figure it out. As a young demon king, it should be relatively easy for him to buy some demon cores of his kind."

Tang Xinyan felt relieved, looked at the pill bottle in her hand, and muttered:

"This bottle would be perfect if it belonged to the Fox Clan or the White Tiger Clan, as it would make it more convenient to travel between the two clans for business."

Seeing that Xiao Yimo had nothing more to say, Tang Xinyan took out a jade box and handed it to him:

"Master, please keep this."

Xiao Yimo took it, opened it, and saw that it was a white, peach-shaped fruit. The energy emanating from it felt unusual to him, and he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What's this?"

Tang Xinyan delivered the explanation she had prepared beforehand:

"This is a tree that grows in the cave where Xiao Bao's family lives in the Azure Wind Secret Realm. Xiao Bao said that his parents bought it because the tree was beautiful."

I decided to leave it in that cave. When I left, I saw that Xiao Bao didn't intend to keep it, so I dug it up and planted it in my space.

I originally intended it to be just an ornamental tree, but a couple of days ago I suddenly discovered that it had actually borne fruit, and, the instant I touched the tree…

Information about this fruit flooded my mind: each color of the fruit corresponds to a type of spiritual root, and this white one corresponds to the ice spiritual root.

As for its effects, those below the Nascent Soul stage can break through to the third rank without any bottlenecks, while those above the Nascent Soul stage can break through to the first rank; it is also effective across different levels.

Xiao Yimo remained silent, his expression saying, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?" Tang Xinyan tried to remain calm, but her gaze wandered.

Finally, he simply gave up and stared at the ceiling, saying rapidly:

"Well, Master, I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now."

Ignoring Xiao Yimo's reaction, she turned and left the wooden house. Xiao Yimo was somewhat amused and exasperated. He looked at the box in his hand, then carefully put it back into his spatial storage.

Five days later, Tang Xinyan was studying a pill formula when she suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy within the bracelet's space. She quickly entered the space.

Just then, Xiao Bao opened his eyes. Seemingly surprised to see Tang Xinyan the moment he opened his eyes, Xiao Bao was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she realize what was happening, and she rushed towards Tang Xinyan, exclaiming joyfully:

"Sister, you're out of seclusion! I thought I was still half asleep."

Tang Xinyan found it somewhat amusing and joked:

"Are you cultivating or sleeping?"

Thinking that Tang Xinyan had misunderstood, Xiao Bao quickly explained:

"Sister, I didn't slack off. When the young demons cultivate, they are actually asleep."

Tang Xinyan took Xiaobao out of the space, rubbed his head, and comforted him:

"I know, I was just teasing you. But Xiao Bao, how old are you exactly? In your fox clan, how old do you consider yourself an adult?"

Xiao Bao pondered for a moment:

"Sister, I should be 68 years old this year. I don't know how the fox clan counts it, but my mother told me that when I grow up to be 150 years old, I will be an adult."

Tang Xinyan understood. She glanced at Xiao Bao's cultivation level; it was noticeably stronger than before her seclusion. She smiled and praised him:

"Not bad, you seem to have made progress during this seclusion."

Xiao Bao wagged its tail proudly and said smugly:

"Absolutely! I've leveled up, and let me tell you, my eighth tail is about to grow."

Tang Xinyan recalled the novels she had read, which described foxes with long tails as extremely dangerous, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Xiao Bao, will it hurt a lot to grow a tail? Or will there be any lightning tribulations or anything like that?"

Xiao Bao looked puzzled:

"No, I was born with one tail, and I grow a new tail every ten years. I don't feel anything special."

Tang Xinyan instantly understood; it seemed to be a bloodline issue. She was relieved and then changed the subject:

"Little Bao, I'm planning to go to the demon realm for training tomorrow, and I'll take you back to the fox realm with me, how about that?"

Xiao Bao was silent for a moment, slightly reluctant:

"So fast?"

Tang Xinyan understood Xiao Bao's dilemma; he longed for close relatives, yet feared they wouldn't be close to him. She gently stroked his fur and comforted him:

"Don't worry, as I said, everything will be based on your wishes. Besides, I have a feeling things aren't as bad as you think."

"It's hard to say. Many of your relatives in the fox clan have always been hoping to find out where your parents are. They would be overjoyed to see you."

At this point, Tang Xinyan couldn't help but wonder what Xiao Bao's ending was in the original book. She felt that, given Liu Yinyin's personality,

The means by which they obtained that tree must have been dishonorable. Hopefully, Xiao Bao wasn't in the cave at the time, otherwise… she didn't dare think about it…

********

The next morning, Tang Xinyan got ready early and, with Xiao Bao in tow, arrived at Lu Chuan'an's courtyard. The two, a human and a fox, had just arrived...

The barrier over the courtyard was opened, and Lu Chuan'an walked out of the courtyard, smiling as he looked at Tang Xinyan:

"Junior Sister, is everything ready?"

Tang Xinyan smiled and nodded. Lu Chuan'an told Tang Xinyan to put Xiao Bao away for the time being, and then he teleported with her to the town's teleportation array.

At this moment, the teleportation array was bustling with activity, with many people queuing up. When they saw Lu Chuan'an and his companion suddenly appear,

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the two of them, as their temperament and appearance were simply too outstanding.

Fortunately, the teleportation array was extremely efficient, and the queue wasn't long. After Lu Chuan'an paid the fee, it was soon their turn.

This was Tang Xinyan's first time using a teleportation array, and she found it quite novel. Once the array was full, it quickly lit up.

With a slight twisting sensation, when Tang Xinyan opened her eyes again, the scenery around her had changed, and the two of them remained there.

After several more teleportations, we finally arrived at a small town called Anyang. The town wasn't very big, but it was quite lively.

Seeing the curiosity in Tang Xinyan's eyes, Lu Chuan'an suggested:

"Junior Sister, the entrance to the demon realm is not far outside this town. It's still early, why don't we take a stroll around the town, have lunch, and then leave?"

Although Tang Xinyan was very tempted, she still rationally declined. After all, she felt that with her luck and looks,

If she were to go shopping, she would probably attract some street thugs or a vicious young lady; it would be fine if she were alone.

She wouldn't mind ridding the people of a scourge, but bringing Lu Chuan'an along would definitely make the group more conspicuous than herself, so she decided against it...
