The game comes true, starting with the wandering spirits and gods.

The image disappeared.

The golden thread retracted, transforming into a wisp of green smoke that vanished from the Taoist's fingertips.

"I see..."

Before anyone else could speak, the Taoist priest with the bull's nose stood there and began to speak leisurely.

After the screen disappeared, everyone came to their senses, except for the fox demon, who stood there dumbfounded.

At this moment, her face and her heart were filled with extraordinary emotions.

Even more exciting than when Zhang Wenhao grabbed me by the neck...

Now, she even wants to burn her soul to escape the cycle of reincarnation.

Why, why is everything going wrong for me...?

It truly made her want to cry but had no tears.

Even if her destiny were to fall into the body of a mortal emperor, she would dare to risk her life to try.

No matter how powerful the emperor is, he is still just a mortal. She has three hundred years of cultivation. If soft methods don't work, she'll use hard methods; if hard methods don't work, she'll use underhanded methods. She always has a way.

But why did this destiny ultimately fall upon a green lamp deity?

What is she supposed to do...?

Even if she were to have only her soul left, or even if her physical body were fully formed, she would still be no match for the person before her.

We can't beat them in a fight, and we can't outlast them.

Even after a hundred or a thousand years, when I have died and vanished, this god will probably still exist...

"How interesting. I never expected that the Green Lamp God would have such good fortune in love..." the Taoist priest sighed, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Zhang Wenhao ignored him.

He had only one thought in his mind: what does this have to do with him?

The fox demon clenched her slender fist and trembled there for a long time.

After a long while, it seemed that he had made up his mind.

"Lord Earth God, please accept me..."

She pursed her lips and uttered something astonishing.

Accept it!

A disturbance stirred within A-Yun's soul, seemingly more vigilant than if the fox demon were about to launch a sudden attack.

Zhang Wenhao sensed it, but didn't have time to think about it in detail.

Seeing that he didn't immediately refuse, the fox demon took another half step forward, her tone carrying a sense of resignation:

"Lord Earth God, please don't be too surprised. I have my own plans for this."

"If I try to break free from the shackles of this fate on my own, I'm afraid there's no hope left," she explained with a self-deprecating laugh. "The only way is to do everything I can to help you reach the top and eliminate those evil spirits. Maybe then... I can succeed thanks to your help."

"If you unfortunately encounter a mishap during the campaign, your destiny will be reincarnated again. It wouldn't be a bad thing for me to search for you then."

These words, weighing the pros and cons, sounded utterly honest.

When she said this, her tone was light and casual, with an air of indifference that seemed to say, "So what if you kill me? It can't get any worse."

Zhang Wenhao was speechless for a moment.

Why are you trying to cling to me?

In the entire room, only Dao Ye clapped and cheered happily.

"Excellent! Excellent!" He clapped his hands and laughed, his long beard trembling on his chest. "With this, we have gained another capable assistant!"

His tone was excited, as if he truly had divine assistance.

Instantly, the narration began as scheduled.

[Even you, the spirit of the green lamp who cultivates himself, never expected that picking up a runaway girl on your way out of the village would also bring along a three-hundred-year-old fox. Incense offerings, if consumed in excess, really do go to your head... and memorizing fate details, if done too often, can be addictive too.]

[The scholar's karma, the fox demon's destiny, the pursuit of monsters and demons... Congratulations, you've added another layer of trouble to your list. But trouble is like a lice—the more you have, the less itchy you become; the more debts you have, the less you worry. Since you can't get rid of it, just keep it.]

The fox spirit's fate is intertwined with yours; you will share the consequences of your actions. From this day forward, her cultivation will be your cultivation, and her karma will be your karma.

The struggle for the fragments of the Destiny Cauldron has always been a fight to the death. The addition of another person entangled in a fateful destiny also provides an additional ally.

[Ding! You have acquired a new incense bearer]

[The Incense Bearer: A Fox Demon]

[Level: lv3]

[Destiny: A Demon Who Sacrifices Himself to His Master]

Physical Body: 0 (In a spiritual state, unable to perform physical attacks)

【Spirit: 45】

[Introduction: A white fox who has cultivated for three hundred years, now reduced to a wisp of soul. Cunning and resourceful, adaptable and opportunistic.]

He was still surprised to see the panel displayed.

Who would have thought that this would naturally make him my incense bearer?

Furthermore, this introduction seems so unreliable...

The narration, as always, is full of flaws.

However, this fox demon's fate is quite novel.

Whether it was A-Yun's ordinary fate or her wealth-attracting fate, they were both basically related to herself.

But this fox demon was completely parasitic on me, its fate was only related to me, and I couldn't see any of its own characteristics.

How about we give this fox spirit a name first?

Taking advantage of Ah Yun's two dry coughs, Zhang Wenhao said calmly, "Since we are so destined to meet, I will bestow a name upon you."

He paused, his mind racing.

Choosing a name is still too difficult. Previously, Huang Pizi was named "Zhao Cai" (meaning "bring wealth") after an orange cat from his hometown.

The fox demon before them didn't yet possess any specific characteristics...

"Then, I'll call you Sesame..."

After thinking for a long time, he saw that the fox demon was all white, like snow, so he gave her a contrasting name.

He paused, then added, "Easy to remember."

The fox demon's lips twitched.

She has cultivated for three hundred years and has seen many named demons... Some are called "Lingxue", some are called "Shuangyue", and some are called "Yunlan", each one more ethereal than the last.

Why is it that when it comes to myself, it feels so out of place...?

Hearing that another incense-bearer had been given a name by the temple god, A-Yun felt a pang of sadness.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have announced my name when I rushed into the ancient temple back then.

Sesame, what a doting name... as pleasant to hear as "bringing wealth".

"Revered Earth God, for now, let me search for a suitable body for you, so that you will no longer suffer in this small statue and the body of the temple keeper."

Seeing that the time was right, the Taoist priest once again showed his sincerity.

Zhang Wenhao pondered for a moment.

I can also directly descend into this game world, so having this Taoist priest find me a body is of little use, and it's not worth harming an innocent person for it.

Thinking of this, he had a sudden inspiration.

"I'll take care of my own health," he said calmly, his hazy eyes looking at the Taoist priest. "If you're willing, you can help me repair these two statues."

Both statues had a corner damaged.

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"A statue?" He stroked his long beard, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "The ancient god with the green lamp is quite something. I said I would help you sculpt a human form, and you asked me to build a statue... No matter how you look at it, you're the one who lost out."

The Taoist priest stopped laughing and squinted at Zhang Wenhao for a while.

"Alright," he said. "This humble Taoist priest agrees. I will repair the two statues for you."

"However, the restoration of this statue will take some time, as it cannot be made with ordinary human materials..."
