I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2377 Mo Li Makes a Move
Seeing Liu Jun's stunned expression, the white fox's lips curled up slightly as it slowly approached him.

"Don't come any closer!" Liu Jun finally snapped out of his daze and shouted loudly.

He instinctively took a few steps back, but accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground and fell to his bottom.

The white fox stopped and stood not far from Liu Jun, watching him quietly with a playful look in its eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you." The white fox's voice was still clear and crisp, but it sent a chill down Liu Jun's spine.

Liu Jun struggled to his feet, dusted himself off, and tried to appear calm as he asked, "What...what are you? Why can you talk?"

The white fox smiled and said, "I am no ordinary creature; I am a fox spirit who has cultivated for many years. As for why I can speak, that is a trivial matter to me."

Liu Jun stared wide-eyed at the white fox in disbelief. "A fox spirit? Fox spirits really exist in this world?"

The white fox nodded and said, "Of course there are, but you humans rarely see them. I'm here today to ask you for a favor."

After this brief interaction, the white fox had determined that the person in front of him was different from the woman; he was not a Taoist priest but just an ordinary person, so he was not too cautious.

Liu Jun frowned and said, "You need something from me? How can I help you?"

A glint of expectation flashed in the white fox's eyes as he said, "My daughter has encountered a problem that can only be resolved by her recognizing a master. I think you're a good young man; let her sign a contract with you."

Liu Jun was startled. What kind of wish-fulfillment novel plot is this? A fox demon offering itself up as its master? Could it be that this white fox knows he comes from another world, is special, and will become powerful in the future, so it's investing in him first?

The white fox looked at Liu Jun and said, "Don't rush, take your time to think it over. I can assure you, you won't suffer any loss; on the contrary, you'll gain a great advantage. It'll definitely be a bargain for you, kid."

Liu Jun hesitated, unsure whether he should believe the fox spirit's words.

He felt something was off, but his intuition told him he should go and meet the white fox's daughter.

Just as Liu Jun was hesitating, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, as if something was about to come.

"Oh no, danger!" The white fox suddenly became alert, its ears standing straight up and its eyes revealing a sense of tension.

Liu Jun also sensed the approaching danger, his heart raced again, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The white fox didn't answer his question, but stared intently ahead, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, a dark shadow darted out of the woods, moving with incredible speed, and was in front of them in an instant.

Before Liu Jun could even see what it was, he heard the white fox shout, "Watch out!" Immediately afterward, the white fox flashed and stood in front of Liu Jun.

The dark figure stopped; it was a huge black wolf. Its eyes gleamed fiercely, its mouth revealed sharp teeth, and it let out a low growl.

"You stinky fox, get out of my way and don't disturb my meal," the black wolf said viciously.

The white fox, undaunted, immediately straightened up and said, "You black dog, I'll protect this man. If you're not happy, let's fight."

Suddenly, a whisper came, followed by a burst of golden light. The light was like a super-powerful searchlight, illuminating the entire forest as if it were daytime.

A huge golden circle appeared on the ground, centered on Liu Jun, the black wolf, and the white fox.

Within the circle, golden characters flickered and shimmered, radiating a sacred aura.

"Oh no, that stinky Taoist priest is back!" The white fox turned and tried to run away, its four legs moving rapidly, its tail tucked tightly between its legs, clearly scared.

The fierce black wolf had lost its earlier arrogance.

It bared its teeth and let out a low growl, trying to bolster its courage. Then, it did the same thing as the white fox, turning and running wildly out of the circle.

They hadn't run more than a few steps when they were bounced back by an invisible force. The golden light acted like a wall, firmly blocking them inside.

The black wolf was thrown heavily to the ground, letting out a painful howl; the white fox staggered and almost fell.

"Liu Jun, come out!" a clear voice rang out.

As the sound came, Mo Li's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Her hands were still forming a magic seal, a seal that was complex and mysterious. Clearly, the golden circles and characters were her own creation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Jun immediately turned around and ran out of the circle.

The golden light that had blocked the black wolf and the white fox showed no intention of stopping him, as if he were a special being, unbound by the golden light.

The black wolf and the white fox were trapped inside the circle, frantically pacing back and forth. They tried to break free of the golden light's restraints again, but each time they were relentlessly bounced back.

Faced with this predicament, the black wolf roared angrily, frantically scratching the ground with its claws, raising a cloud of dust; the white fox, meanwhile, cried out incessantly, its voice filled with despair.

Mo Li slowly walked to the front of the circle, coldly looked at the black wolf and the white fox, and said, "You two monsters, you still dare to come out and do evil. Today is your doomsday."

Upon hearing this, the black wolf became even more enraged, baring its teeth at Mo Li and letting out a fierce roar, as if it were about to pounce on her and tear her to pieces.

However, the golden light's binding force was too strong, rendering it unable to move and leaving it only able to stand by anxiously.

The white fox's eyes darted around, and it suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Mo Li, saying, "Daoist, spare my life! I never do evil, only good. It's just that these hungry wolves want to eat people, and I've come to stop them."

"Yes, Senior Sister, that wolf tried to pounce on me, but this white fox blocked it from entering," Liu Jun said urgently from the side, panting heavily.

Upon hearing Liu Jun's words, Mo Li frowned, slowly turned to look at Liu Jun, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure this fox demon has no ill intentions towards you?" Liu Jun thought for a moment and quickly replied, "I haven't found any so far. This white fox said it wants its daughter to sign a contract with me."

After listening, Mo Li nodded slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Immediately afterward, Mo Li made another hand seal and chanted incantations. In an instant, a gigantic golden hand appeared within the golden circle. The hand swiftly grabbed the white fox, accurately seizing it, and then threw it away without hesitation.

The white fox let out a shrill scream in the air and crashed heavily to the ground not far away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After throwing the white fox, the golden hand did not stop, but clenched its fist and slammed it hard at the ferocious black wolf in the golden circle.

The black wolf's eyes flashed with a fierce light, baring its fangs and claws, trying to resist the sudden attack. However, it was clearly no match for Mo Li.

The golden hand was like a mountain, and each time it crashed down, it carried an overwhelming force.

Although the black wolf possessed some skill and desperately dodged and fought back, it ultimately could not withstand the powerful attack. Its body was struck repeatedly, leaving wounds on its fur, from which blood flowed continuously.

Before long, the black wolf was beaten black by the golden hand and lay on the ground, barely alive, uttering weak moans.

The white fox, not far away, looked at the black wolf's miserable state with a hint of fear in its eyes.

"That's fucking scary for a fox," the white fox muttered, his voice trembling noticeably.

It wanted to run away, but dared not, and could only watch helplessly as everything happened before its eyes, its heart filled with fear and helplessness.

Mo Li stared coldly at the black wolf in the golden circle, her eyes devoid of any pity.

"receive!"

Mo Li flicked her wrist and pulled out an exquisite porcelain bottle from her sleeve.

The porcelain bottle was small and exquisite, with strange runes painted on its surface. She then forcefully hurled it at the barely breathing black wolf.

The porcelain vase traced a graceful arc in the air, but instead of landing as expected, it spun rapidly in mid-air.

As the porcelain bottle rotates, the surrounding airflow seems to be stirred up, emitting a slight whistling sound.

Sensing danger, the black wolf let out a deafening roar, attempting to break free from the shackles of this mysterious force.

However, it was all in vain. The enormous black wolf's body began to gradually dissolve, turning into a thick cloud of black mist, which went straight into the porcelain bottle.

As the black energy completely disappeared, the porcelain bottle emitted a soft "hum," the runes on the bottle's mouth flickered briefly, and then returned to calm.

Mo Li put away the porcelain bottle and turned her gaze to the trembling white fox beside her.

The white fox, which had been nervously watching Mo Li's every move, shrank back when it saw Mo Li looking at it.

"Take us to your home, to see your daughter." Mo Li's voice remained cold.

The white fox's ears twitched slightly, and it lowered its head hesitantly, gently pawing at the soil with its paws.

If Liu Jun had come on his own, it would have taken him there without hesitation.

After all, Liu Jun was just an ordinary person in his eyes, with no deterrent power whatsoever.

But the female Taoist priest in front of her was too powerful. The scene of her subduing the black wolf just now left the white fox with lingering fear.

It knew very well that even if its entire family of fox demons were bound together, they might not be able to defeat this female Taoist priest. What if this female Taoist priest had ill intentions and wanted to capture them all? Thinking of this, the white fox's body trembled even more violently.

Seeing that the white fox had not responded for a long time, Mo Li frowned slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"Are you going or not? Aren't you going to save your daughter?" Mo Li urged.

These words struck the white fox like a hammer blow. It jerked its head up, its eyes filled with pain and struggle. It thought of its beloved daughter, whose fate hung in the balance. If it didn't rescue her quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Let's go!" The white fox gritted its teeth and made up its mind.

It understood that this was a gamble; if it won, its daughter would be saved; if it lost, it and its family could be plunged into utter ruin. But for its daughter, it was willing to take the risk.

With that, the white fox turned and ran into the depths of the forest. Seeing this, Mo Li grabbed Liu Jun by the collar and followed him.

The 100-plus-pound Liu Jun was handled by her like a rag doll, without affecting her speed in the slightest. At this moment, Mo Li was like a nimble swallow, light and agile.

The only one who felt uncomfortable was Liu Jun. He felt like he was a bag of fruit being carried and shaken back and forth.

Along the way, the fog in the forest grew thicker and thicker, like a huge maze.

The white fox, familiar with the forest, led the way, stopping occasionally to wait for Mo Li to catch up.

Mo Li followed closely behind the white fox, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment in case anything unexpected happened.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the entrance of a secluded cave. The cave entrance was hidden by dense vines, making it difficult to spot without careful observation.

The white fox stopped and looked back at Mo Li, its eyes filled with complex emotions.
