Chapter 13: Saving a Spiritual Pet

Chapter 13: Rescuing a Spirit Beast

Meanwhile, Wu Hao was heading towards the Central Region, though he couldn't miss the Southern Region either.

Although it was more likely his wife was in the Central Region, what if she was in the Southern Region? The possibility was small, but not non-existent.

During this period of searching for Su Qiaoran, Wu Hao also had a rare chance to admire the scenery and customs of Xuantian Realm.

Wu Hao was nearly a hundred years old now; his previous years were spent thinking about how to become stronger. Now that he barely had the power to protect himself in Xuantian Realm, he could naturally relax a little.

However, when passing through certain places, Wu Hao would basically never miss any Heaven And Earth Treasure he encountered. Like a wild goose leaving feathers or locusts sweeping through, if he gave them to Yi Dao and Wu Yifan, they could be returned a millionfold, so he naturally wouldn't miss them.

Just before Wu Hao was about to pass through a certain area, he saw a figure, pure white as snow, rapidly moving through the jungle, with several Golden Core Stage Human Race Cultivators following behind her.

"I never thought we'd encounter the legendary Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox in this small Wancong Mountain Range! If we can capture her and sell her, it would definitely be a substantial fortune for us!"

"Are you an idiot? Sell her? If the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox is properly cultivated, she can Breakthrough to Great Emperor! If we had a Great Emperor Spirit Beast, where in the entire Xuantian Realm, heaven or earth, could we not go? Even the Four Great Holy Lands would be wary of us!"

"Hehehe, little Spirit Fox, surrender! You can't escape!"

In the sky, the three Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators had expressions of pleasant surprise. They looked at the little Spirit Fox rapidly fleeing below, their faces filled with barely concealed excitement.

They hadn't expected that merely coming to the Wancong Mountain Range to find some Heaven And Earth Treasure would lead them to luckily encounter the legendary Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox.

If it were a powerful Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox, they would naturally have fled immediately. However, the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox they encountered was only a Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox that had just unlocked its three-tailed state, and its strength was only comparable to a Human Race Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator.

Therefore, when facing their three Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators, the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox could only run for her life. But this wasn't a sustainable solution; if the pursuit continued, the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox would definitely be captured by the three Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators behind her.

"Damn Human Race Cultivators, I just want to live! What's wrong with that!"

The Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox thought to herself. So-called Yao Beast and Spirit Beast refer to beings that have gained sentience, and how could a Spirit Sea Realm Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox's intelligence be lower than that of humans?

It's just that Yao Beasts need to Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage before they can speak human language, and the Soul Transformation Stage before they can transform into their human form. So, even if the current Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox was anxious, she could only run around frantically, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

But unfortunately, she was quickly surrounded by the three Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators, with nowhere to escape.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox bared her teeth at them ferociously, but as the Golden Core Stage pressure instantly descended, she couldn't help but be suppressed and fall to the ground.

"Hahaha, little Spirit Fox, just surrender obediently. It's said that the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox clan are all existences of unparalleled beauty. Once she Breakthroughs to the Soul Transformation Stage, I'll be able to hehehe!"

One of the Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators looked at the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox with eyes full of desire. What the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox was most famous for was not her talent, but her appearance.

Therefore, upon discovering a Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox, powerful forces would basically step in to capture and tame her. Once she reached the Soul Transformation Stage, she could transform into human form for Dual Cultivation.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred.

"Oh, I didn't expect to encounter a Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox here."

A figure appeared in front of the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox, speaking with a hint of surprise on his face.

The newcomer was Wu Hao. When passing by, he originally intended to go directly, but on second thought, a Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox only needs resources to Breakthrough to Great Emperor. Keeping her might allow her to serve as a town clan divine beast for his Wu Family in the future.

So, after thinking it over, Wu Hao made his move.

The moment Wu Hao appeared, the three Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators had expressions of shock on their faces. It was clear they hadn't expected such a powerful expert to be here.

But after recovering, one of the Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators took a deep breath and spoke.

"Senior, this Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox was something we targeted first. It might not be a good idea for Senior to interfere now."

"Oh, really? What if I say I will interfere?"

Wu Hao gave them a cold glance. From the very beginning, Wu Hao had no intention of leaving them alive.

After all, if an existence of the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox's caliber were to be spread, many people would definitely come to cause him trouble. So, to avoid future problems, with a single thought from Wu Hao, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, instantly suppressing and killing the three Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators.

For Wu Hao, suppressing and killing Cultivators of this level was possible with just a single thought.

The Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox, who was lying on the ground, was also shocked by this scene. She had never imagined that such a powerful expert existed in the world, who could suppress and kill the three Human Race Cultivators who had just made her extremely miserable with a single thought.

But most importantly, it was Wu Hao's appearance. If Wu Hao's appearance before he began Cultivating could only be described as unremarkable, then the current Wu Hao was definitely an immortal-like handsome man.

Furthermore, the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox could also feel an extremely intimate sensation from Wu Hao. All of this was because Wu Hao Cultivated the Heavenly Emperor Myriad Dao Scripture, so all things in heaven and earth desired to be close to Wu Hao when they saw him, because Wu Hao carried the aura of their shared origin.

However, Wu Hao clearly wasn't thinking that much. Instead, he looked at the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox lying on the ground and then spoke.

"Are you willing to become my Spirit Beast?"

Wu Hao wouldn't force her. If the other party didn't agree, he would just kill her. Compared to powerful talent, Wu Hao desired loyalty even more.

The Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox naturally didn't refuse, and quickly handed over a portion of her vital essence.

Seeing this, Wu Hao nodded with satisfaction, then took the vital essence into his palm.

Soon, Wu Hao successfully signed a Spirit Beast contract with the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox. Thus, Wu Hao successfully took in the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox (not a harem; this novel only has one female lead, which is Su Qiaoran).

"Little one, you probably don't have a name yet, do you? In that case, you'll take my surname, Wu, and for your name, let's call you Wu Hu."

Wu Hao thought for a moment, and then gave the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox a name.

The Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox, perched on Wu Hao's shoulder, heard the name Wu Hao gave her and excitedly nodded, agreeing.

As for why the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox was named Wu Hu, it was because of 'Wu Hu, takeoff!' (a Chinese internet meme/phrase).
