Oh no! I've been reincarnated as a corpse!

No, no, that's not right.

The white fox snapped back to reality and forced itself to look away from the man's face.

That's not what it should be focusing on right now.

Who is this person?

Why are you here?

Did he save me?

And this person's aura...

The white fox sniffed gently, a hint of doubt appearing in its icy blue pupils.

There was no sign of life.

His skin was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

A chilling and pure aura of death faintly emanated from his body.

This is a living corpse.

A living corpse saved it?

Can a zombie suppress its craving for flesh and blood?

What an oddity!

The white fox's eyes held both wariness and curiosity.

After carefully observing Lu You and confirming that it was not in danger, it turned its attention back to itself.

It silently sensed the demonic energy within its body, and its brows immediately furrowed.

It's empty.

The demonic energy that had once surged like a river was now reduced to just a few faint wisps, struggling to flow through the meridians.

Mo Xiaojin's strength is indeed formidable.

It might not even be a match for it in a one-on-one fight, let alone with a Red Wolf at the time.

It was indeed no match for those two bastards working together.

If he hadn't forcibly activated the secret technique to escape at the cost of greatly diminishing his cultivation, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The secret technique caused immense damage, burning away almost half of its essence.

In addition, it was severely injured and now has very little demonic energy left in its body. The strength it can exert is probably not even as good as that of an ordinary first-realm minor demon.

I don't know how long it will take to recover...

The white fox's mood grew heavier.

It glanced at the living corpse again.

This guy doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards it.

Red Wolf is still looking for it.

Those little demons that were running around everywhere before are the best proof.

If they remain here, and are discovered by Red Wolf's men, it could bring utter destruction to this living corpse.

The living corpses of the first realm had no chance to escape from the demon soldiers of the second realm.

He saved me after all, and I can't repay kindness with enmity.

After a day of rest, once you've regained some mobility, you can leave on your own.

The white fox's thoughts raced. She slowly closed her eyes and began to quietly circulate the last bit of demonic energy she had left, repairing the injuries within her body little by little.

…………

The storage bag was filled with far too much stuff, an outrageous amount.

Lu You cleaned from day to night before finally finishing sorting everything into categories.

Each treasure was neatly arranged, like miniature treasure mountains.

Lu Youxin let out a satisfied sigh, stood up, and stretched lazily.

His entire body emitted a series of crackling sounds, like a string of small firecrackers.

Organizing things is more tiring than fighting.

Then he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at one side of the stone bed.

The little white fox remained curled up there, motionless, its eyes tightly closed, its breathing weak and steady.

Lu You frowned in confusion, walked over, squatted down, and gently ruffled the little fox's fur.

The wound is healing very well.

Those deep wounds that exposed bone had all closed up, the flesh and blood had stuck together, and a thin scab had formed.

Why isn't this little guy awake yet?

Lu You was a little annoyed and muttered, "What if I turn into a plant fox? What if I don't wake up?"

Should we just throw this guy away?

Lu You glanced at the little white fox curled up in a ball. Its snow-white fur shone softly in the moonlight, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

He really likes small animals, otherwise he wouldn't go to the pond every now and then to pet the animals that come to drink.

He was really reluctant to leave such a beautiful little fox outside to fend for itself.

Forget it.

Lu You scratched his head helplessly.

Lets see.

Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow.

He stood up and glanced at the cave entrance.

The sky outside had completely darkened, and the starlight and moonlight filtered through the gaps in the hanging vines, scattering into the cave and spreading a layer of light spots on the ground.

Time to take a shower.

Lu You stepped out of the cave.

After Lu You's footsteps disappeared at the cave entrance, the white fox curled up on the stone bed slowly opened its eyes.

A hint of barely concealed embarrassment and annoyance surfaced in those icy blue eyes.

This little zombie!

Just now, it was so brazenly turning its body over!

Is its fur something that just anyone can touch?

It's grown so big, and no one has ever touched it like this before!

Outside, if any demon dares to touch it like this, every single one of them will be frozen into an ice sculpture on the spot.

But when she thought that the living corpse had saved her after all and even used the precious Green Wood Dew to heal her wounds, the shame and anger in the white fox's eyes gradually dissipated.

Never mind... ignorance is bliss.

It is magnanimous and does not bother with a mere living corpse of a mere realm.

The little fox raised its head and glanced in the direction of the cave entrance.

What's that little zombie doing outside?

It gently pushed itself up from the stone bed with its four limbs.

The wounds on my body still ache slightly, but it's much better than when I was half-dead.

At least, the action is no longer affected.

The white fox leaped off the stone bed, its four snow-white paws landing lightly and silently on the ground.

It walked cautiously toward the cave entrance, each step extremely light and steady, without making a sound.

Reaching the cave entrance, the white fox poked half its head out from between the vines, peering out.

Soon, it spotted Lu You's location.

Then, the whole fox froze.

Lu You was bathing in the pool.

Moonlight poured down from the heavens, falling on his bare upper body and illuminating his pale yet well-defined physique.

Water droplets slid down the curve of her neck and shoulders, shimmering in the moonlight.

The white fox felt its mind go completely blank at that moment.

It frantically backed away, its furry tail slamming against the stone wall, nearly causing it to fall flat on its backside.

It quickly pulled its head back, scrambled back to the stone bed, closed its eyes tightly, and buried its face in its two front paws.

That little zombie is a disgrace to civilization!

Taking a bath in broad daylight!

It covered its ears tightly and closed its eyes, but its mind was as if under a spell, the scene it had just seen replaying over and over again, and it couldn't shake it off no matter what it did.

It felt as if it was becoming somewhat impure.

However... that little zombie was indeed very good-looking.

No, no, no!

The white fox shook its head vigorously, trying to banish those chaotic thoughts from its mind.

Just then, its body suddenly stopped.

The white fox suddenly looked up, its sharp gaze fixed on the cave entrance, a hint of seriousness appearing in its icy blue pupils.

A demon clan is approaching.

Although it is in extremely poor condition and has almost no demonic energy left, as a demon general in the late stage of the third realm, its divine sense is still sharp.

It clearly detected the approaching presence.

Early stage of the second realm.

Trouble.

The white fox frowned, a hint of worry appearing in its eyes.

That little zombie was only at the late stage of the first realm, a whole realm lower in cultivation, and could not possibly be a match for a second-realm demon soldier.

Once discovered, they probably won't even have a chance to escape.

What should I do?

The white fox's expression faltered for a moment.

In its current state, it can barely take care of itself; forcing an attack would only worsen its injuries.

But that demon soldier was, after all, looking for it.

The little zombie saved him, but he was implicated because of it, so he couldn't just sit idly by.

At worst... I'll just use the secret technique again!

Although doing so would cause its cultivation level to drop permanently and never recover, it would at least allow it to recover 70-80% of its strength in a short period of time.

That's enough to deal with that second-realm demon soldier, and then we can leave Qinglin Mountain far away.

A cold and resolute light flashed in the white fox's eyes.

It leaped off the stone bed again, landing lightly on the ground, ready to rescue the little zombie.

Just then, its steps suddenly froze.

The white fox's eyes widened suddenly, and a hint of astonishment, which it could not hide, appeared in its icy blue pupils.

The little zombie's aura disappeared.

Completely, without a trace.

It was as if it had been directly erased from this world.

How is that possible?

With its spiritual power, even a cultivator at the third realm who conceals their aura cannot escape its perception.

But it couldn't sense the little zombie's presence anymore?

Where did the zombies go?

The white fox's heart sank, and it immediately quickened its pace, rushing towards the cave entrance.

It poked its head out, its eyes quickly scanning the pool.

The water surface shimmered, but there was no one there.

The stone by the pool where he had just put his clothes was now empty.

The tattered hemp clothing, along with the little zombie, vanished without a trace.

Has something happened?

The white fox felt a pang of anxiety.

Just then, it suddenly turned its head, its sharp gaze fixed on the direction of the valley entrance.

A deep shock appeared in those icy blue eyes.

It sensed the little zombie's presence once again.

Moreover, the location where that aura appeared was none other than the location of that second-realm demon soldier.

Immediately afterwards, the aura of that second-realm demon soldier suddenly disappeared.

The white fox stood there, stunned, its mind filled with questions.

What's going on?

The second-realm demon soldiers are gone?

died?

Could it be... that he was killed by that little zombie from the first realm?

How is that possible?

How did he manage to kill someone from a higher realm, even across a whole realm?

The white fox felt that its centuries of knowledge was being severely challenged at this moment.

However, it quickly came to its senses.

It took a long look in the direction of the valley entrance.

Then it turned around, walked slowly back to the stone bed, and curled up into a ball again.

The good news is that it no longer needs to desperately activate that secret technique.

The bad news is that it found itself completely unable to understand the little zombie.

That zombie is probably quite extraordinary, hiding some significant secrets.

Moreover, even this demon general of the third realm couldn't see through this secret.
