Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 125

In the dense fog, any movements other than sounds are weakened. Even if one sees the branches tremble or the mist swirl, it might just be the wind silently playing tricks.

The shadow parted the low trees, patrolled the area for a while, and upon returning to the Dao Ling, reported, "No signs of living beings, but I suspect someone was nearby earlier."

The Dao Ling bent down and removed the Immortal Alliance token from Zhang Gao's waist. Tossing it up and catching it again, he played with it in his hand and seemed unconcerned upon hearing the report.

"Immortal Sovereign," the shadow continued, "if this matter is exposed and the Immortal Palace holds us accountable, we..."

The Dao Ling glanced at him, "Are you afraid?"

"No!" The shadow immediately knelt on one knee, "I am devoted to the Immortal Sovereign. I am only worried that the arrival of people from the Immortal Palace will affect your plans!"

The Dao Ling put away the Immortal Alliance token and sneered, "So what?"

"The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is about to open. We are one step closer to completing my grand plan! Once my plan is perfected, even if the Immortal Palace sends someone, or even the Immortal Emperor himself arrives, what is there to fear?!"

"Yes!" The shadow bowed down, knocking his head to the ground to show loyalty, "I will follow the Immortal Sovereign, facing any danger without hesitation!"

The Dao Ling turned his head to look at the source of the earlier commotion and said to the shadow, "Go and catch that lone rat."

The shadow got up and disappeared silently with a swirl of mist.

After the shadow left, the Dao Ling walked ten paces and arrived behind a tree. He picked up a hidden silk pouch from among the dead leaves.

Inside the pouch was only a bundle of white hair about an inch long.

The Dao Ling snorted coldly, "This wretched beast has also come to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. It's really making things easier for me to find."

He clenched his fist. In an instant, the fabric was torn apart, leaving only scraps of silk.

Tu Shan Xun? The Tu Shan family of Qingqiu.

This name and the aura emanating from the man made Ren Qingyue cautious, and she secretly tightened her grip on the sword hilt.

"Miss?" Tu Shan Xun said softly, "There are many fierce beasts in this misty forest. It would be inconvenient for you to be alone. Why not travel together for mutual protection?"

Ren Qingyue's expression darkened. "No need."

With that, she turned and walked away.

It wasn't until she had walked a hundred paces and didn't hear the man following her that she quietly let out a sigh of relief.

She didn't know what relationship this man, who claimed to be Tu Shan Xun, had with Tu Shan Yu or what the Qingqiu Fox Clan was plotting.

After Ren Qingyue had left, Tu Shan Xun gazed thoughtfully in the direction she had gone. This girl had a trace of Qingqiu Fox Clan's aura about her.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned into a pure white fox. The small fox had a slender waist and long legs, with nine tails behind it. After a few steps, it felt the tails were a bit cumbersome, so it flicked them all away except for the most beautiful one.

Then, the fox quietly moved forward, stealthily following her.

Tu Shan Yu, holding Bai Jin, followed the Apothecary through the misty forest.
