The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 83

Chapter 83

The Wood Spirit Heart was not within Tan Qingxuan’s consideration. Her child was different from an ordinary cub; it was already very strong, and what it lacked were the medicinal ingredients needed to fuse its bloodlines.

Just as Tan Qingxuan was thinking this, the little fox cub in her abdomen suddenly moved twice, either just waking up, or due to the mother-daughter connection, or perhaps it was a little greedy ghost just like its fox mother.

Tan Qingxuan’s eyes softened, and she agreed, “Take me to the location of your spiritual meridian.”

Cang Ran grabbed her sleeve. Seeing Tan Qingxuan nod, she knew Tan Qingxuan felt confident and didn’t stop her.

“Okay, I’ll take you there~” The Realm Spirit’s tone sounded very happy. It used a purple root to guide them, leading them all the way to the secret realm’s spiritual meridian.

Tan Qingxuan spent an hour repairing the spiritual meridian and received the Wood Spirit Heart from the Realm Spirit.

The Wood Spirit Heart looked like a smooth, round little blessing bead, only the size of a thumb, emitting a pale green glow. Cang Ran remembered that the little bird demon had also given her a rose-red Heaven-grade fish stone, which could ward off evil and avert misfortune. It would be perfect to string them together with the Wood Spirit Heart.

Cang Ran asked Tan Qingxuan for the Wood Spirit Heart and her original small fox communication artifact. She strung them onto the same bracelet as the Heaven-grade fish stone and placed it on Tan Qingxuan’s snow-white wrist.

The two streams of light, pale green and red, intertwined and flowed, looking very beautiful at the moment.

Cang Ran stroked Tan Qingxuan’s cool wrist, reluctant to let go. Tan Qingxuan gave her a playful look, “Where did the Heaven-grade fish stone come from?”

Cang Ran explained, “The little bird demon, Huazhao, gave it to me. She said it was for my future cub to bring good fortune, so I accepted it.”

Tan Qingxuan thought: If it weren’t for this little bird demon, Song Zhen’s poisoning wouldn’t have been so severe. Since she had promised her junior sister, she would definitely take revenge for her.

However, the little bird demon had indeed been quite good to Cang Ran. If the little bird demon had kept this Heaven-grade fish stone for herself, refining and consuming it could have served as an excellent medicinal ingredient to increase her cultivation. Giving it to Cang Ran like this, was she perhaps plotting something?

Tan Qingxuan concealed the chilling coldness in her eyes, “Do you know where she comes from? What is her true form?”

Cang Ran hadn’t seen Huazhao for a long time. After thinking for a while, she said, “She told me she was from the Penglai Mountain Range, and her true form is probably a Silver-throated long-tailed tit. Why do you ask?”

Tan Qingxuan twirled her fingers, “Quite rare.”

Cang Ran tentatively said, “She is a small mountain tit under the Great Demon King. Her cultivation is not deep; she only acts on orders. She said Song Zhen’s family matter had nothing to do with her.

But I also promised Song Zhen I would help catch her and bring her back. If you see her later, can you not kill her immediately?”

Tan Qingxuan looked into Cang Ran’s eyes, seeing her nervousness, “Naturally, she should be handed over to Junior Sister for disposal. We’ll capture that bird demon after Junior Sister recovers. Let’s leave the secret realm first.”

Elder Qu had also finished his preparations. The Realm Spirit teleported them out of the secret realm. The group of large capybaras outside had long disappeared. Shen Yunyan blew her whistle several times before summoning them all back.

They all mounted the large capybaras again. Just as they were about to leave Quicksand Island, they saw the large capybaras’ fields of harvested vegetables and fruits. Cang Ran suddenly entertained the idea of abducting the demons.

Cang Ran transmitted her thoughts to Tan Qingxuan, “Qingqing, do you have any artifact that can take the large capybaras with us?”

Tan Qingxuan looked up at Cang Ran, “Hmm? I have a spatial mustard seed.”

Cang Ran chuckled, “I have five mountains in the demon world. I can raise a few capybaras and set up some vegetable gardens and fruit orchards for you and the cub.

They can also play with the little fox cub later. We can have the little hedgehog make small carriages for children to ride in. Imagine carrying the cub in a capybara carriage; how fun would that be?”

Tan Qingxuan was slightly displeased, seeing that Cang Ran was still planning to return to the demon world. However, hearing that Cang Ran was doing it for the little fox cub, her mood softened slightly.

If it weren’t for the little fox cub in her belly, this fox would probably have run back to the demon world and never returned. Why would she come back to the Grand Mystic Sect to find her?

Tan Qingxuan said gently, “If you want to take them back, you can only free-range them on the immortal mountains near the Fuyao Palace. You cannot keep them in the demon world.”

Cang Ran asked, puzzled, “Why?”

Tan Qingxuan said seriously, “Most demons in the demon world are bloodthirsty and fierce. These capybaras are weak and might be eaten.”

Cang Ran looked down at the large capybaras, whose eyes were glazed and faces looked placid. She also felt they couldn’t protect themselves.

These large capybaras, even if used as demon soldiers, probably wouldn’t be valued by any Demon King.

Demon Mountain is so much fun! There will be so many little demons to play with the cub. I’ll secretly take the cub back then.

Cang Ran agreed first, “Okay, let’s keep them at the Grand Mystic Sect for now. I’ll ask them if they want to come with us.”

Tan Qingxuan nodded slightly. Cang Ran jumped off the capybara and stroked the capybara’s head, “I know you weren’t originally from this island, and other demons bullied you. I’m leaving, and you can’t deal with those Chá (badger-like creatures) on your own. They’ll keep bullying you every day.”

“Now there’s a better place. Do you want to follow me?”

The large capybaras grew anxious upon hearing that the fox demon was leaving. They quickly bit Cang Ran’s skirt corner with their teeth. Of course, they wanted to follow a powerful Great Demon. If they could get the protection of a Great Demon, they would no longer be bullied.

Cang Ran’s entire body emitted a powerful aura, as if she were the shining center of the world.

The day the fox demon led them to defeat the fat Chá was the proudest moment for their entire clan. These past few days, they still carried the aura of the Fox Great King. The fat Chá would detour around them when they saw them.

The large capybara that Cang Ran rode was particularly glorious. The other capybaras would gather around it to rub against it, hoping to catch some of the Fox Great King’s aura.

“Jiu Jiu Jiu~” The large capybaras surrounded Cang Ran, so anxious they were close to speaking human language.

She would have to have the little hedgehog lead them and teach these large capybaras how to cultivate and gain intelligence to facilitate communication. Cang Ran first pulled Shen Yunyan over and asked, “What are they saying?”

Shen Yunyan hadn’t expected Senior Cang Ran to have such powerful charisma. She quickly said, “They are saying they swear to follow the Fox Great King to the death!”

Cang Ran rubbed her chin. A bit too exaggerated. They didn’t need to swear to follow her to the death. She was raising them to keep the cub company and grow some vegetables. She didn’t plan to send them out as demon soldiers. She might as well accept these economically practical capybaras.

Shui Shaoyi knew that this group of capybaras could grow rare Cold Jade Watermelons and wanted to try to gain them for the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate, “There are about ten of these capybaras. How many does Senior plan to keep? If you can’t keep them all, our Ten Thousand Medicine Gate can help raise some, and the treatment won’t be bad, either.”

Her last sentence was specifically directed at the large capybaras. However, before Cang Ran could agree, the capybaras objected.

The large capybaras made a chorus of “Jiu Jiu Jiu” noises at Shui Shaoyi, chattering angrily as if about to scold her!

Did they follow the Fox Great King just for a little good treatment? As long as they carried the Fox Great King’s aura, no other demon dared to bully them. Their lives as demons were glorious!

These stupid humans clearly didn’t understand the capybaras’ style and were trying to interfere with their efforts to join the Fox Great King’s ranks!

A brown-gray large capybara twisted its backside and shoved Shui Shaoyi away. It rudely monopolized Cang Ran’s attention. Its “Jiu Jiu Jiu” sounds were noticeably softer and cuter than before, and it even summoned seven or eight small capybaras.

The small capybaras stacked little tangerines on top of their heads, one after another, and performed a show for Cang Ran.

“Senior Cang Ran, it seems they want you to take the entire capybara clan with you,” Shen Yunyan said from the side.

Yun Muyu and Lin Mingyue watched in astonishment. It turned out that these small animals could be so “flattering.”

The capybaras immediately gave Shen Yunyan a look of approval. That’s right, they all wanted to be incorporated by the Fox Great King.

Cang Ran rubbed her forehead. She had only planned to take a few, but she hadn’t expected this group of large capybaras to bring their entire families. She counted fifteen of them. She could only look at Tan Qingxuan, “Qingqing, can your space hold this many capybaras?”

If it were someone with a short cultivation time, they might not have such an item, but Tan Qingxuan happened to possess one. Her cultivation was profound, and she had been to countless secret realms in the past. When she was young, she had acquired a spatial mustard seed that could store living beings.

At the time, she felt it was useless and left it idle in her storage artifact. It turns out that for all these years, it was being prepared for this impulsive fox.

It’s a pity that when she met the fox, she had already been cultivating for eight hundred years. How wonderful it would have been to meet her earlier. The fox appeared too late.

Tan Qingxuan glanced at Cang Ran, sighing inwardly, “It can hold them.”

Cang Ran was relieved upon hearing this. She waved her hand, “Alright, this Great King will take you all in.”

The capybaras cheered happily with “Jiu Jiu Jiu” sounds. They made a couple of “Jiu Jiu” sounds toward Shen Yunyan. Shen Yunyan said from the side, “They are asking if the vegetable and fruit fields they planted can be taken along too?”

Cang Ran looked at Tan Qingxuan again. Tan Qingxuan nodded slightly, “Yes.”

Tan Qingxuan waved her sleeve and put all the capybaras into the spatial mustard seed. She also put the vegetable and fruit fields into it.

Cang Ran looked at the capybaras looking confused inside the spatial mustard seed and said to them from above, “You will stay and live here for a while.”

The capybaras listened to the Fox Great King and settled down to live peacefully in the secret realm formed by the spatial mustard seed.

Elder Qu calculated the time with his fingers and said to Tan Qingxuan, “Qingxuan, time is a bit tight now. If we all return to the Grand Mystic Sect, we will miss the upcoming auction. We might not be able to bid for the necessary spiritual plants then.”

Yun Muyu proactively stepped forward, “Master, I’ll go! Senior Sister Shui still needs to stay by your side to help refine the medicine. I feel like my cultivation will have a breakthrough after this training experience and I need to go back to secluded meditation for insight. I can deliver the medicine to True Master Yuheng on the way.”

Lin Mingyue also took the opportunity to say, “Venerable Qingxuan, I’ll accompany Junior Sister Yun back! I can take care of Junior Sister. I haven’t seen my Master in a long time, and I also miss my Junior Sisters.”

With Lin Mingyue accompanying Yun Muyu, Tan Qingxuan felt reassured. She handed the precious bottle containing the Divine Wood Essence to Lin Mingyue, “This is for your Master. You must not have any mishaps, understood?”

Lin Mingyue quickly nodded, “I will definitely deliver it to Master!”

After giving these instructions, Tan Qingxuan and Elder Qu went to the seaside to release the giant ship. They checked the runes on the ship for any damage and reinforced them.

Shen Yunyan and Shui Shaoyi also ran over to help. Elder Qu repaired the seriously damaged and collided areas on the ship, and they handed tools to Elder Qu.

Cang Ran patted Yun Muyu and Lin Mingyue’s shoulders, “These next few days on the ship, let’s clean up and organize all that Divine Wood. You will also get a share of the spirit stones when they are sold. Your Shimu (Master’s Wife) won’t shortchange you, Mingyue, or you.”

The two’s eyes sparkled as they quickly nodded.

Lin Mingyue quietly asked, “Will it cost a lot of spirit stones to bid for Master’s medicine? If we don’t have enough money, just use my share. Don’t tell my Master.”

Yun Muyu also said, “Me too. If Shimu needs spirit stones, please take mine and use them.”

She even offered the rare spiritual fruits she had unintentionally acquired to Cang Ran, “These are also for Shimu. See if they can sell for a good price?”

Cang Ran couldn’t help but scratch her head. Why did this situation make it look like they were so down and out they were facing bankruptcy? She wouldn’t let the younger generation pay for this, no matter what.

Cang Ran said seriously, “Don’t worry about this. Keep them for yourselves. You have your Masters and the Venerable backing you up, and if all else fails, you still have me.”

She put her arms around their shoulders, and they boarded the ship together. Soon, the sea vessel raised its sails again and sailed into the vast sea fog.

A small black, fat Chá watched Cang Ran and the others leave. It quietly said to the brown, fat Chá, “Boss, the fox demon seems to have taken the land we planted too.”

The melon the brown, fat Chá was nibbling fell to the ground, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Fortunately, the fox demon had left. Hopefully, she would never return to Quicksand Island.
