Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

After sending the message, Tang Xinyan waited a while. The jade pendant flashed, and when Tang Xinyan picked it up, she saw that Ji Zeyang had replied with a message:

Ji Zeyang: [What? Has something big happened in Yingu Forest?]

Xiao Yan Yan: [? ? ?]

Ji Zeyang: [Then how could it be? They're all corpses?]

Xiao Yan Yan: [...]

Gu Moxu: [You silly fish, what Junior Sister means is that she hasn't encountered anyone else in the past two weeks.]

Xiao Yan Yan: [Yes, yes, Fourth Senior Brother, do you know why?]

Gu Moxu: [I don't know.]

Ji Zeyang: [Hehe, didn't you know? I thought you were so amazing.]

Yun Xingnan: [Ji Zeyang! Gu Moxu! You two, that's enough! If you keep bickering, your sword-wielding count will double today.]

Yun Xingnan: [Junior Sister, the internal competitions of each sect are about to begin, and the disciples of each sect have been recalled one after another.]

Most of those currently training outside are independent cultivators, and given the vastness of Silver Valley Forest, it's normal that you won't encounter anyone for a while.

Xiao Yan Yan: [Oh, I see. Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Brother. But, wasn't the Azure Wind Secret Realm supposed to open soon? Won't holding the grand competition now cause any problems?]

Yun Xingnan: [The Azure Wind Secret Realm only allows entry to those at the Foundation Establishment stage, and these periodically open secret realms always have limited spots available.]

The sect competition this year was chosen to be held at this time to determine the available spots. The Foundation Establishment stage matches could be scheduled before the secret realm opens.

Xiao Yan Yan: [I see, I've learned something new! Thank you for the explanation, Senior Brother. So, Senior Brother, when does our sect's grand competition begin?]

Yun Xingnan: [It has already begun.]

Xiao Yan Yan: [Huh? No way, Master didn't say that. He told me I had to hunt 200 ferocious beasts before I could go back. I'm still halfway there. What if I don't make it?]

Yun Xingnan: [Junior Sister, don't worry. Each peak has a pre-selected position for its leader, who can directly appoint a disciple to that position.]

You are the only Foundation Establishment disciple on our peak. Your master registered you before taking you out. Just focus on your training and return to the sect before the secret realm opens.

Xiao Yan Yan: [Oh, I see, I understand now, thank you, Senior Brother.]

Yun Xingnan: [Junior Sister, you're too kind. This is what your senior brother should do.]

Ji Zeyang: [Tsk tsk, Senior Brother really favors Junior Sister. He rarely speaks more than five words to us.]

Gu Moxu: [Isn't it only natural that the senior brother favors the junior sister? Why are you stinking like that, you silly fish?]

Ji Zeyang: [Who said I was being petty? I was just expressing my feelings, is that wrong? You idiot, if you call me "Silly Fish" again, I'll beat you up!]

Gu Moxu: [Silly fish! Silly fish! Silly fish!]

Yun Xingnan: [You two, your sword-wielding count for today is doubled!]

Xiao Yan Yan: [Wow, including punctuation, that's 13 characters! @Third Senior Brother, @Fourth Senior Brother.]

Xiao Yan Yan: [By the way, where's Second Senior Brother? Why isn't he saying anything?]

Yun Xingnan: [Chuan An has returned to the demon realm; he's probably busy right now.]

Xiao Yan Yan: [Okay, Senior Brother, I'll go back to killing beasts now. Oh, and I've also learned how to grill meat! Master said it's delicious. I'll grill some for you guys when I get back.]

Yun Xingnan: [Okay, thank you, junior sister. Be careful!]

Ji Zeyang: [Okay, thank you, junior sister. Senior brother is waiting for you!]

Gu Moxu: [Oh, thank you, junior sister! Go ahead and get busy.]

After carefully putting away the communication jade token, Tang Xinyan continued walking towards the middle of the forest. It's true what they say, people can't resist being nagged; she hadn't walked far before...

In Tang Xinyan's consciousness, three cultivators appeared. One of them was burly, about 1.9 meters tall, with a fierce and menacing appearance and a scar on his face.

One was tall and thin, with passable looks, but exuded a sinister aura; the other was of medium build, but looked extremely sleazy.

These three people looked like rogue cultivators, and based on her intuition, Tang Xinyan felt that they were probably not good people.

Fortunately, none of the three were highly skilled in cultivation. The scarred man was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while the tall, thin man and the sleazy man were at the early-Foundation Establishment stage.

As long as Tang Xinyan doesn't reveal herself, the three of them won't even notice her presence, and Tang Xinyan doesn't want to cause any trouble.

Just as they were about to take a detour to avoid him, they heard the tall, thin man say to the scarred man:

"Brother, do you think this nine-tailed fox is worth a fortune?"

The scarred man smiled, in a cheerful mood, and said:

"Of course, the nine-tailed fox is extremely rare. I've heard that any nine-tailed fox has ancient bloodline and will at least become a divine beast in the future."

The sleazy man was puzzled:

"Boss, isn't it said that divine beasts have noble bloodlines and would never agree to form a contract with humans?"

The scarred man chuckled smugly and said:

"You don't understand, do you? The heart blood of a nine-tailed fox is a highly sought-after item by alchemists. Even if you can't form a contract with it, you can keep it in captivity and regularly extract its heart blood to make medicine."

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man immediately became interested and suggested:

"Then, boss, why don't we secretly raise them and sell their blood later?"

The sleazy man nodded quickly:

"That's right, boss. Selling this to others is just a one-time deal. Why don't we raise them and sell their blood?"

The scarred man rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"Leaving aside the fact that the nine-tailed fox is a creature of the demon realm, there might already be an ancestor of the fox clan searching for it everywhere."

"Given our combined cultivation levels, do you think we can hold onto this gold nugget? It's better to auction it off than let someone kill us and steal it."

The tall, thin man suddenly realized what was happening and quickly began to flatter him:

"As expected of the boss, he's so thoughtful."

The sleazy man also joined in the flattery:

"Yes, yes, our boss is not only resourceful, but also incredibly lucky. He managed to find such a rare nine-tailed fox."

The scarred man, beaming with delight at the compliment, waved to the two men and said smugly:

"Once we get the money from this auction, we'll recruit some more people. You two will be my right and left hands. As long as you follow me well, you'll be guaranteed a life of luxury from now on."

Tall, skinny/sleazy guy: "Yes, boss, we'll follow your lead!"

Scarface: "Very good. Let's rest for a while longer, then hurry on our way and sell this as soon as possible, lest things get complicated."

Hearing this, Tang Xinyan roughly understood what was going on. After thinking for a moment, she took out a mask, covered her face, and...

She quietly crept towards the three of them. That's right, Tang Xinyan was preparing to save the nine-tailed fox, not because she had a kind heart.

Tang Xinyan mainly remembered that the original book contained the following description of the fox clan:

It is said that the fox clan was originally an ally of the white tiger clan. Later, the only nine-tailed fox among the younger generation of the fox clan became the future leader of the fox clan.

I went out to play with a tiger cub from the White Tiger Clan. After dark, the tiger cub ran back to the clan crying, saying that the little nine-tailed fox was lost.
