Chapter 94 The Nine-Tail Silver Fox
When Yuan Ji and his group had returned to the chamber where the crystal coffin was, they could not find the body of the beautiful peerless goddess that Yuan Ji had thrown out earlier.
"Where is the body?" Ling Feiyue asked curiously.
Xue Qianxue was quite startled, "The corpse is able to move by itself? It has turned into a zombie?"
Yuan Ji laughed heartily, "It has probably been turned into dust after being exposed into the elements. This sort of things happens quite frequently. It is nothing to be frightened about."
"How did you know?" Xue Qianxue took a curious look at him.
"Well, I had opened quite a few coffins in the past." Yuan Ji laughed.
"You did what?" Ling Feiyue was startled. "You are a tomb robber?!"
"Erm, I can explain..." Yuan Ji was stammering. "I was only accompanying some friends. There are many tombs around the Five Heavens Peaks…"
"Ji Yuan!" Ling Feiyue raised her gentle voice to say seriously. "Please don't do this sort of things anymore. You are not tomb robber but a respected Sword Saint and a sect master."
Xue Qianxue was also looking with an annoyed look at him. "Yes, please don't."
Yuan Ji smiled bitterly, "Actually I didn't do it for many centuries already. Don't look at me like this. You all know that I was in seclusion for a hundred years, right? Therefore you also know that I didn't do anything like this for a long time…"
"And what are we doing here now?" Xue Qianxue sighed.
Ling Feiyue added unhappily, "You even open the lids of the crystal coffin like an expert and carelessly thrown a body out. This is too disrespectful to the dead."
Yuan Ji: …
Yuan Ji: …
Yuan Ji: …
"I didn't go tomb raiding. The tomb comes to me…" Yuan Ji muttered a weak protest.
But silently he was lamenting miserably. "All the celestial clans in the Five Heavens Peaks frequently go tomb raiding to solve their sect's finances. My old master was the one that had taught me how to do it…"

Yuan Ji had just sealed the transparent crystal coffin. He had a solemn look as he sighed regretfully at the body of his beloved consort Saintess Yuxian.
Behind him were Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue.
"Please rest in peace. I will come back often to see you."
All of a sudden a nine-tail silver fox had suddenly appeared at the entrance, startling everyone.
Yuan Ji had immediately displayed his divine sword as he stared fiercely at it. "How dare this beast disturb the final resting place of my Consort Yuxian! Let me skin this beast and use its silver fur to make a cloak for Yuxian!"

"Wait Ji Yuan!" Xue Qianxue interrupted. "This nine-tail silver fox may be a rare spirit beast and not a desolate beast."
Yuan Ji frowned, "It doesn't look like a spirit beast to me. Its desolate aura is stronger than its spiritual aura. How can this thing be a spirit beast?"
Ling Feiyue was muttering, "Qianxue. Ji Yuan is right. This nine-tail silver fox seems to be more like a desolate beast than a spirit beast."
"But according to the celestial books, nine-tail silver fox is a spirit beast and it can even evolved into a divine beast." Xue Qianxue said with a chuckle. "Or maybe this poor thing has been adopted by a desolate beast or has been cultivating too near to the desolate mists. Maybe that is why."
Yuan Ji shrugged his shoulders, "I still think that it is a better idea to skin it. Do you know that the fur of a silver fox is worth 500 high grade spirit stones? And that is only for a one-tail silver fox. This is a nine-tail silver fox and it may worth 5000 high grade spirit stones or more."
The nine-tail silver fox: …
The nine-tail silver fox: …
The nine-tail silver fox: …
The Abyssal Null Goddess was filled with shock and fear. She had never expected that this unruly and uncultured celestial cultivator would actually be trying to skin her. She could not believe that today she would be losing her life!
Now she had regretted transforming into a spirit beast…
A mighty goddess with her lofty status was now treated like a common beast to be slaughtered. This was a most humiliating fate!
And she was suddenly shrinking with fear and was weeping on the spot.
When Yuan Ji saw that the nine-tail silver fox was whimpering and had collapsed on the ground, his heart softened a little. Then he spotted a collar around the neck of the nine-tail silver fox. "Weird, why is there a collar around its neck? It is tamed by someone?"
"What collar?" Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue asked at the same time curiously. They really did not see any collar.
"It is a slave collar!" Xiang Li had suddenly appeared and she was giggling.
The Abyssal Null Goddess was suddenly delighted when she saw Xiang Li. Maybe this immortal spirit would be able to get rid of this slave collar for her. So she purposely whimpered even louder and used her paw to point at her slave collar, pretending that this slave collar was giving her extreme pain.
Xiang Li opened the divine sense of Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue, allowing them to see the slave collar.
"There is really a collar around this poor nine-tail silver fox's neck…" The two maidens were astonished.
"A slave collar?" Yuan Ji was perplexed. "What is it used for?"
Naturally he did not know because a slave collar was not from the Celestial Realm. Nor did Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue have heard of it before.
Everyone was now looking at Xiang Li for an answer.
Xiang Li was extremely delighted that everyone was showering her with attention now. "Well, a slave collar will make a spirit beast be a good and obedient spirit beast. Therefore it is a good thing."
"Oh. Hahaha." Yuan Ji laughed. "So it means that this spirit beast is actually a friendly spirit beast?"
"That is right!" Xiang Li declared proudly.

The nine-tail silver fox: …
"What crap is this immortal spirit talking about?!" The Abyssal Null Goddess was stunned. "Remove my slave collar…what friendly spirit beast?!"
She did not know that Xiang Li knowledge of the slave collar was limited and that Xiang Li was only trying to impress everyone with her 'extensive' knowledge.
Yuan Ji rubbed his chin, "Oh well. Having a collar means that this nine-tail silver fox has an owner and the owner is me. This is also for the nine-tail silver fox's protection. I guess that I will keep this nine-tail silver fox until it has evolved into a divine beast. It may be worth a lot more when it has become a divine beast."
The nine-tail silver fox aka the Abyssal Null Goddess: …
Yuan Ji laughed as he approached the nine-tail silver fox cautiously. "Xiang Li, are you sure this thing won't bite me?"
"Try it." Xiang Li giggled but secretly she was not sure. But there was no way Yuan Ji would be killed by it because this nine-tail silver fox was quite small and moreover Yuan Ji was a saint with superb regeneration abilities.
Yuan Ji had lifted the nine-tail silver fox up with both his hands, "Woot. It really didn't bite me. Haha."
"Told you so!" Xiang Li said proudly.
"Xiang Li, you are so knowledgeable." Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue praised her.
"Of course I am. Hehe. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me freely! I am always available!" Xiang Li winked at the two maidens.
Yuan Ji had suddenly lifted the nine-tail silver high up by its two fore paws as he stared below its belly, "This nine-tail silver fox is actually a female. Haha…"
The Abyssal Null Goddess was completely stunned and felt like digging a deep hole into the ground and she was weeping with great embarrassment. "Don't look, you…monster…"
"Alright, I shall call you Xiaobai and you shall be my spirit beast." Yuan Ji declared loudly.
Xue Qianxue smiled, "I am so happy that our lord got a spirit beast now. Still, we should go to the nearest Spirit Beast Guild to create a contract between the two of you. This is to ensure that Xiaobai won't attack you or anyone without your commands in the future."
"Alright. Haha." Yuan Ji replied.
The Abyssal Null Goddess shook her head furiously. I don't want to become anyone's spirit beast. You lowly celestials should all be voided out!
"Xiaobai, I am Yuan Ji. These two maidens are my consorts. They are Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue. And this is Xiang Li my spirit entity. Remember, you must not attack them and you must also listen to them, alright?"
Although the nine-tail silver fox was shaking furiously in protest but she found herself obeying the wishes of her master. What Yuan Ji wanted her to do, she could not disobey his will at all and she must obey all his commands!
Therefore she could only respond by nodding her head.
"Waa, Xiaobai is really so intelligent. She even knows how to nod her head." Yuan Ji was truly impressed.
"Let me play with Xiaobai!" Xue Qianxue chuckled.
"Alright. Here you go." Yuan Ji had thrown the nine-tail silver fox to her.
Xue Qianxue was startled. "Ji Yuan, please don't do that. You will frighten Xiaobai…"
Even Ling Feiyue was saying, "This is too mean. Can you be more considerate in the future?"
Yuan Ji smiled weakly, "I will keep that in mind…"
The Abyssal Null Goddess was now weeping in her heart. A lofty immortal goddess like her was now being toy around by the lowly celestial cultivators. Now she had completely regretted her decision to turn into a spirit beast…
"Xiaobai, from now onward, you must love us like a family. When I am in trouble, I expect you to do your best to protect us." Yuan Ji said to her. "From now onward, you shall sleep with me. This is more cozy this way. I have never hugged such a pricey silver fur before. Haha."
The Abyssal Null Goddess: …
The Abyssal Null Goddess: …
The Abyssal Null Goddess: …
Love him as his family, protect him with all her best and sleep with him…
This was her master's commands to her.
