This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 220 Emotional Value

At this moment, Xi Miao was even happier than when she first took human form, because now she could be considered truly perfect and flawless.

The woman's laughter initially carried a hint of reserve, but later developed a distinct sense of arrogance.

Before the thunderclouds in the sky had completely dissipated, the moisture in the clouds had already turned into a winter rain and fell, containing abundant spiritual energy that nourished the little sacred mountain after it had been ravaged by the aftershocks of the thunder.

As the rain began to fall, Xi Miao's laughter stopped. She got up from the ground, stood up straight, and looked up to feel the rain. Her hands went down from her lower back, and all that was touching her waist was her long hair, which was soaked by the rain.

Although her body was still damaged, Xi Miao almost immediately felt the benefits of perfect transformation. She seemed to be able to feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth more clearly, only a little stronger than before. However, it was a gap that most people could not cross in their entire lives.

There are many auras around Little Holy Mountain, some benevolent and some malevolent, some still indistinct, and at this moment, many more auras are trying to approach from the outside.

Xi Miao glanced around, then opened her mouth and spat out a wisp of white light, which instantly transformed into clothes that covered her body.

There was no need to carefully distinguish anything. Xi Miao took a deep breath and revealed the demonic energy transformed after the tribulation. In just an instant, the entire Little Sacred Mountain was shrouded in a purer demonic energy, and there was no longer any feeling of weakness from being shattered by heavenly lightning.

This is tantamount to telling everyone that the tribulation was not too difficult to overcome, and that there was still some energy left.

At that very moment, auras descended from the sky or approached from the ground around Little Sacred Mountain. Before the figures even arrived, congratulations were already being sent out.

"The weather has been unusual lately, and I knew something big was going to happen. It turns out that the Fairy Fox Lady has successfully overcome her tribulation!"

"The Celestial Fox Lady's cultivation has made great progress again; this is truly a cause for celebration!"

"Excellent, excellent. We sensed the aura of the tribulation lightning and came to protect and assist you. However, with the power of the Celestial Fox Lady, she naturally does not need our help!"

"As expected, King Ximiao's cultivation has advanced again. May I ask what kind of breakthrough this time? Would you mind revealing it?"

As Xi Miao straightened her clothes and long hair, she glanced up and sideways at several directions, her voice carrying a hint of laziness and teasing.

"Oh? Aren't you taking this opportunity to see if I've been seriously injured by the heavenly lightning, so you can devour my vital energy?"

Upon hearing this, a voice immediately responded.

"Hahaha, how could I dare?"

"Yes, with a beauty as stunning as the Fairy Fox Lady, even if she were to suffer a severe loss of vital energy, who would be willing to harm her?"

Xi Miao revealed a cold smile. The purity of her demonic aura had taken a giant leap forward in a short period of time, and she was now displaying it without reservation, almost overwhelming all the auras present. Even though the newcomers were holding back, this was enough to demonstrate her transformation.

"Oh? Hmph? You old fool, I'm right here. Since you think I'm so beautiful, do you dare come over?"

As she spoke, Xi Miao turned her head slightly to look at a certain spot in the sky. Her still damp hair danced gently beside her, and her eyes flashed with a unique charm. This caused a certain being in the demonic aura in the sky to feel dazed and excited without realizing it. Then, she shuddered and suddenly came to her senses.

"Hahaha, you jest, Fairy Fox Lady! I still wish to live for several hundred more years. Since you seem to be alright, I'll take my leave now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gust of evil wind vanished as if fleeing.

Although there's a saying that "dying under a peony is still romantic," after cultivating step by step to this point, no one would risk their life or even death for a moment of pleasure.

Everyone knows that the one from Little Sacred Mountain has a very high level of cultivation, and he mostly stays at home. However, he still has some reputation among the demon race, and even demons are quite wary of him.

The one who escaped, or rather, many of the other demon cultivators present, were probably thinking that this fox demon seemed to have made another great breakthrough, and wondered if some unlucky soul had sacrificed their vital energy or even their life.

As soon as the first demon fled, several other auras immediately backed down.

"Now that I've seen that the Fairy Fox Lady is alright, I'm relieved. I'll take my leave now!"

"Then I won't bother you any longer!"

Several auras retreated one after another, but a burly man fell directly from the sky to the ground. When he was ten feet away, he faced Xi Miao, who was standing there, and asked her a question again.

"May I ask what kind of breakthrough Your Majesty Ximiao has achieved this time? Could you please tell me?"

Upon seeing the visitor, Xi Miao smiled, thought for a moment, and then nodded in response.

"Telling you won't hurt. I've finally made up for my shortcomings as a demon. Alright, I've said my piece, you can leave now!"

To compensate for the shortcomings of his demonic form, the newcomer was slightly taken aback, then his face showed surprise.

"Flawless Transformation?"

"Not bad!"

The man on Little Sacred Mountain was stunned for a moment before subconsciously looking at Xi Miao's waist. At this moment, the woman opposite him obviously did not use any concealment techniques, and the tail at her waist was indeed gone, which made him look somewhat dazed.

A second transformation tribulation? Is there really a second chance for something like this?
"Hey, what, you want me to tell you how to do it?"

The man subconsciously looked up, only to meet Xi Miao's cold eyes.

"roll!"

The man's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not linger any longer. After bowing, he immediately rode away on the wind.

This answer wasn't just heard by the man; the other demonic energies that had retreated earlier, except for the first one, hadn't gone too far, or rather, they had deliberately slowed down. Upon hearing the answer, they had no more hesitation and fled.

Zhuang Lin and the others had been standing on a small ridge near the outer edge of the Man Shui River, and they could naturally sense the demonic energy leaving from the sky. At this moment, several figures riding the wind together spotted them.

"Huh? There's a group of people over there?"

"They seem to be just a group of mortals? Shall we go down and take a look, maybe kidnap a few while we're at it?" "Are you crazy? This is Little Sacred Mountain, everything belongs to that fox. Who are you to make a move? She's broken through again now, be careful she doesn't hold a grudge!"

The demonic wind descended for a while and then returned to the sky. Many of Zhuang Lin and the others looked up at the location of the demonic wind. This scene made the few people who had entered the demonic wind in the sky jump.

"Thank goodness we didn't go down. No wonder there were so many people here during this thunderstorm!"

"They don't seem to be ordinary people, yet they don't seem to have any aura. It's best not to provoke them. Perhaps they are the fox demon's helpers!"

"Hehe, not necessarily. If not, she's on her own."

Indeed, the noise that attracts them can also attract others!
Zhuang Lin and the others watched as the demonic auras departed, and Liu Hongyu couldn't help but sigh.

"I never expected there to be so many monsters in this area. I've been to this place many times before, but I've never seen them before."

"Do you think it's always us, constantly running around and working?"

Zhuang Lin joked that even demons, cultivators spend more time at home than out and about. After all, sometimes a nap and a period of cultivation can be quite a long time for an ordinary person.

As they spoke, the last wisp of demonic energy from outside rode away on the wind. This wisp of demonic energy was obviously relatively strong, which also attracted Zhuang Lin and the others to take another look.

"Sir, now that you're here, why don't you come closer? It won't do for the Dharma Protector to stay so far away. If you revealed yourself sooner, those annoying fellows wouldn't be disturbing my peace!"

Xi Miao's cheerful voice came over. Before Zhuang Lin and the others could go over, she had already taken the initiative to approach. Her long hair was unusually loose and she didn't bother to tidy it up. She seemed to be floating in the air, running and stepping on the mountain wind as she came.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! Your Majesty has now achieved a flawless body!"

Kurosawa was too frightened to come out by the pressure of the heavenly lightning, but now he was excited. Moreover, he was good at observing the king's changes and immediately understood what the tribulation was about.

"Hahahaha, you're just sweet-talking!"

Xi Miao landed in front of everyone, barefoot in the rain in the mountains. She was very happy as she walked to their side.

To be honest, Zhuang Lin and the others didn't really understand the situation. They didn't know what this "flawless body" meant, but it seemed very powerful.

Only Wuming had a sudden realization, and roughly understood that the transformation of Wuxia into human form was even more difficult in his time, and more like a legend, but at least he had heard of it.

"Could it be that it is a flawless transformation?"

"What else could it be besides this?"

Xi Miao responded with a smile, but when she saw the puzzled looks on Zhuang Lin, Liu Hongyu's and the others' faces, she was slightly taken aback before realizing what was going on.

"Sir, you don't know either?"

Zhuang Lin shook his head. There was nothing to hide; he really didn't know.

Xi Miao then stopped smiling, and she vaguely understood why the master didn't know.

"The so-called flawless transformation refers to naturally and perfectly obtaining the human form, the most intelligent of all beings."

"A flawless human body?"

Liu Hongyu asked with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Is there a distinction between flawless and imperfect when transforming into human form? Is there anything wrong with transforming into human form based on your previous appearance?"

"Yes!" "That's right, Senior Xi Miao is already so beautiful, how could she not be flawless?"

Clearly, Liu Hongyu and some students had other ideas, thinking that good looks meant flawless.

Xi Miao thought to herself, "As expected," and shook her head in reply with a sigh.

"Transformation into human form is a major hurdle for demon cultivators. Even those who have overcome it often have flaws. Perhaps being flawless was just ordinary before, but now, obtaining a flawless body—well, a human body like yours—is no longer so easy. I consider myself to have outstanding talent, and I was born with a beautiful appearance in human form, but I still couldn't achieve complete success. I couldn't refine the fox tail in human form, but things are better now."

In the past, when wearing certain clothes, Xi Miao would use her tail as a belt, while when wearing other clothes, she would either use a trick to cover it up or pass her fox tail through her crotch and wrap it around one leg, hiding it under the hem of her skirt.

Others might not be able to tell, but illusions can't fool the real person, so she knew that Zhuang Lin must have seen through it the first time they met.

"Doesn't it look much more natural?"

As she spoke, Xi Miao turned slightly to reveal her back. She felt more natural dressed than ever before. However, apart from herself, others could only say that her clothes were different, but there was no significant difference from her previous appearance.

Zhuang Lin couldn't actually tell either. Although he knew the tail was gone, he knew he should show his support at a time like this!
"Yes, it definitely looks much more natural!"

The others realized what was happening and, being intelligent, began to offer their praise and congratulations.

"Looking at it this way, it does seem true!" "Yes, Senior Ximiao is truly amazing!"

"I was wondering why it felt different; I only understand now that you've explained it!"

"Even if there were tricks used before, I wouldn't have been able to tell!"

"That's true!"

Xi Miao was overjoyed. Even she was extremely happy at this moment and didn't want to distinguish between truth and falsehood. At least the master's words were enough. After all, he had truly seen through the fox tail before, and he could naturally sense the biggest change at this moment.
