"Hmph! What do you mean, a woman? You mean I'm a female, right?" The woman's voice was cold.
Hearing this, Han Li smiled wryly and didn't respond immediately. Instead, he slowly collected the flying sword hovering above his head and said, "Regardless of whether you're male or female, you should tell me your origin."
"My origin? Am I not just the spirit of the treasure in your hand?" The white fox half-squatted, looking at Han Li with a calm expression.
"Of course, I know you're the spirit of the treasure. But I've never heard of a treasure spirit being able to possess someone," Han Li frowned, his voice turning cold.
"That just shows how ignorant you are. Am I not an example?" The white fox seemed to curl its lip, speaking indifferently.
Han Li was silent for a moment after hearing this.
But after a while, he suddenly raised the jade scepter in his hand and started to examine it closely.
"What are you going to do?" The white fox's eyes instantly showed a wary look, staring coldly at Han Li.
"Nothing. I'm just curious. Now that you've successfully possessed this fox body, this jade scepter is probably useless. But if I were to smash it, I wonder what would happen?" Han Li sighed, speaking calmly.
Upon hearing this, the white fox's expression changed dramatically. It glared at Han Li with a vicious look but then seemed to recall something and suddenly calmed down.
"You don't need to test me. Indeed, if you destroy this jade scepter, my spirit will also vanish. As a spirit, I am bound to this scepter," the white fox said flatly.
Then its body flashed with silver light, and an enormous aura descended upon the white fox.
Han Li's heart tightened, and his face immediately showed a wary expression.
"Don't worry. It's just inconvenient for me to talk to you in this beast form. I'll transform into human form now," the white fox said coldly, glancing at Han Li.
Hearing this, Han Li was slightly taken aback but then relaxed a little.
At this moment, the white fox's body emitted a dazzling silver light. Han Li instinctively took two steps back.
In the silver light, the white fox quickly transformed into the alluring form of a naked woman. When she stood up, Han Li noticed that aside from her eyes changing from green to clear black, her appearance remained exactly the same as before she was possessed.
It seemed that the human form of a beast, once set, could not be changed.
As Han Li pondered this, the woman instinctively covered her private parts with her hands. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke somewhat awkwardly, "Do you have any clothes? I'm not very used to this."
Han Li was slightly taken aback.
Then, without a word, he took out a spare garment from his storage bag and threw it to her.
"Thank you," the woman said softly, raising her jade hand to drape the man's garment over herself, covering most of her bare body.
Seeing this, Han Li's expression shifted slightly. The woman's every move exuded an indescribable elegance, more refined and graceful than any noble lady. It was hard to believe she had once been a silver wolf demon.
After she calmly dressed, she raised her face and slowly said to Han Li, "You can call me Silver Moon. As for my origin, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I simply can't remember. As you might know, once a demon soul is refined into a treasure spirit, it should lose all consciousness and only obey the commands of the master of the vessel. But for some reason, ever since I gained awareness, I vaguely remember parts of my previous life. Although the memories are sparse, they allow me to have some degree of autonomy. I vaguely recall being a member of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. I took the name Silver Moon for myself because of this. As for my original name, I can't remember it," the woman explained as she gracefully walked a few steps, seemingly adapting to her new body.
"The Silver Moon Wolf Clan? I've never seen any records mentioning such a beast," Han Li said, rubbing his chin with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"These are just fragmented memories. Maybe I remembered wrong," Silver Moon said softly, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.
Hearing this, Han Li fell silent.
"Alright, even if Silver Moon doesn't remember her origin, how can a treasure spirit possess someone? Don't tell me all treasure spirits have this ability, or the cultivation world would be in chaos," Han Li pondered for a moment, then asked solemnly.
"Do you think I can possess just any body?" the woman retorted with a cold smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Han Li's eyes narrowed as he stared at the woman.
"The technique I used earlier isn't exactly possession. It's a natural ability of our Silver Moon clan: soul devouring. It involves my spirit attacking the spirit and soul of others. Once their soul is devoured or forcibly expelled from their body, we Silver Moon can temporarily reside in the new body. But the time can't be too long, or the spirit will be assimilated by the body and unable to leave. This ability is a double-edged sword. Our clan's spiritual sense isn't inherently stronger than other demon clans, so if we encounter a foe with a particularly strong spirit, we risk our own lives. So it's rarely used. But for me, without a physical body, it doesn't matter," Silver Moon said calmly, revealing something that shocked Han Li.
Seeing Han Li's shocked expression and about to ask something, she continued, "Don't ask me about the details of soul devouring. I don't know either. It seems like something I was born knowing. But don't worry, there are many strict limitations on this technique. It's not something that can be used casually. Also, I'm not in my original Silver Moon form. As a treasure spirit, using this ability is almost impossible. If I hadn't encountered this four-eyed spirit fox, I wouldn't have been able to possess it. Otherwise, why would I have stayed in the jade scepter for so long? In my memory, these four-eyed spirit foxes seem to be naturally restrained by our Silver Moon clan. Additionally, this fox's body had already been possessed once by the corpse demon's spirit, so it wasn't in its original state. That's how I managed to succeed," Silver Moon explained calmly.
"Four-eyed spirit fox! Isn't this just a snow cloud fox?" Han Li asked, puzzled, as he didn't see anything unusual about her eyes.
"Four-eyed spirit foxes only show their true form when their cultivation is complete. Their innate magic eyes are more terrifying than our clan's soul devouring. They can kill with a glance. But from the outside, they look almost identical to snow cloud foxes. However, when they use their abilities, they are easily recognized by someone like me," Silver Moon smiled slightly, exuding a charming allure.
"The fox's cultivation was at the level of a seventh-level beast. Isn't that complete? And if its cultivation hadn't reached the eighth level, why could it transform into human form early? Also, your and the fox's cultivation fluctuated greatly before and after possession. Don't tell me you can hide your cultivation like the fox," Han Li asked, voicing his doubts.
"Ha, you have many questions, don't you? But it's been so long since I talked to anyone, so I don't mind. I don't know why the fox could transform early. Maybe the corpse demon used some technique to temporarily graft some of its power onto the fox, causing the fluctuation in cultivation. The fox's real power is still that of a low-level beast. And because of restrictions, it couldn't stray far from the corpse demon. As for my human form, I used a similar technique to temporarily raise my power to the level of a seventh or even eighth-level beast. But this power will fade, and I'll revert to my beast form. Transforming again will take at least a month," Silver Moon explained, making Han Li understand.
Han Li didn't ask further and instead pondered her words.
After a long while, he calmly said, "Although your words didn't fully clarify everything, they did explain most of it. Now, I'll ask you one more thing, Silver Moon. What are you planning to do next now that you have a body?"
Hearing this intriguing question, Silver Moon smiled slightly.
"If I say I plan to leave you and cultivate on my own, will you try to kill me?" she asked with a smile.
