Chapter 601: New Life

Hu Nuonuo carefully landed in front of the courtyard and happily walked in. She then bumped into Ling Ping’an who had just come out of the ancestral hall.

“Young Master!” Hu Nuonuo lowered her head.

“Oh, you’re back!”

“Yes!” Hu Nuonuo answered respectfully. “I’m back!”

“Then go and burn an incense stick!” Ling Ping’an said to her.

This was the reward she deserved.

When Hu Nuonuo heard this, she was ecstatic. “Young Master…” her voice began to tremble. “Really?”

She knew too well what this meant.

Ling Ping’an nodded at her question.

The Hu family had served the Ling family for nine generations, which was nearly two hundred years.

This sacrifice had to be repaid.

And Ling Ping’an knew that there was no better reward than allowing Hu Nuonuo to go to the ancestral hall and offer incense.

…

In Qilipu Village, there was a dense forest that was uninhabited all year round.

No one had come here a long time ago.

The entire Dongmei Town had legends about this place.

Generations of adults were educating their children not to go to the back mountain of Qilipu Village because of the monsters there.

Terrifying monsters!

As for what they were?

No one could tell.

Some said it was a snake demon, some said it was a fox demon, and some said it was a ghost king who had seen green-faced fangs among them. It was surrounded by countless ghosts as it walked into the depths of the mountain.

In the hinterland of the mountain, in an underground karst cave.

A huge nine-tailed Fox was sleeping here.

Each of its nine tails fell into the wells under the karst cave.

Under the wells was a slowly flowing underground river.

This underground river flowed through the entire Qilipu Village.

But almost no one knew about it as this river was not a real river!

Only in a few places could one truly see the existence of this river.

And this karst cave was one of them.

Suddenly, spirals of green smoke rose from the ancient wells covered in Moss.

The sleeping Nine-tailed Fox opened its eyes.

It was a pair of eyes filled with vicissitudes and aging.

The immortal beast that had lived for countless years had long reached the end of its life.

However, as the last living Nine-tailed fox, it could not die, nor did it dare to die!

Death meant the complete extinction of the Nine-tailed Fox bloodline.

It also meant that the inheritance of the Green Hill would disappear from all space and time!

When it died, the final destiny Nine-tailed Fox would fall.

It would definitely cause a disturbance in all space and time in all space and time where there were traces of the nine-tailed Fox’s legend or existence.

The Nine-tailed Fox would then become just a legend in a text.

That was a true dimension-reducing blow!

Thinking of this, a hint of relief flashed through the nine-tailed Fox’s eyes.

“The calamity is finally coming to an end!”

“The Nine-tailed Fox clan will be reborn!”

This was the meaning of living.

It was also the reason why he had not died so far.

After much thought, he could finally see the withered tree sprout!

He slowly closed his eyes.

It was not enough!

Indeed, the bloodline of the newborn cub was not pure enough.

Even if he used this extremely powerful ritual to change the bloodline, it was still not enough.

No matter what, it was insufficient!

The ritual could only be simulated in the end.

“Then let me…”

“This sinful orphan, come and help you!”

“A descendant of my bloodline!”

“I hope you won’t make the same mistake as me!”

As it thought about the matter, its nine tails started to tremble.

Drops of crystal-clear, amber-like blood containing countless knowledge and inheritances dripped from the tails.

In all space and time, the last true Nine-tailed Fox squeezed its last drop of blood out of its body.

This was his last gift and repentance.

…

Hu Nuonuo excitedly inserted the incense into the incense burner.

As smoke swirled around, the master god tablets seemed to come to life as they looked at her, a descendant of the Hu family.

Vaguely, Hu Nuonuo seemed to see one huge fluffy fox tail after another opening up like a peacock’s tail in front of her.

When these fox tails fully opened up, drops of jade-like precious blood fell down and landed on her body before soaking her hair and skin.

This was an inheritance.

It was also an enlightenment!

Hu Nuonuo suddenly understood that it was the last thing given by her ancestor.

“Ancestor!” She suddenly knelt down.

“Listen…” In a trance, a hoarse and weak voice seemed to say in her ear, “The descendant who inherited my bloodline!”

“You have to remember…”

“You are Green Hill’s last inheritance!”

“No matter what… you have to live on!”

The voice gradually weakened and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, Hu Nuonuo discovered that a brand new tail had grown out from behind her back.

It was a white fox tail.

That was the symbol of the true nine-tailed Fox of the Green Hill!

However, for some reason, the grief in Hu Nuonuo’s heart could not be any worse.

She could not help but start sobbing.

She understood that the ancestor who had protected the Hu family for 200 years had already vanished into thin air.

…

In the imperial capital, the chubby little emperor was doing his winter vacation homework when he suddenly stood up.

He looked at the two bronze cauldrons that had been placed in his sleeping palace.

The two cauldrons were shaking and whimpering.

They seemed to be grieving for something.

But very quickly, the cauldron began to shake as it was surrounded by

clouds and mist.

Within the clouds, a small white fox slowly appeared.

Behind the white fox, a new tail grew.

The little emperor was stunned.

He did not understand what was going on.

But in the void, the divine mountains that were heading toward Earth at high speed began to resonate.

The orphan of the Green Hill had been reborn on the other shore!

All the Divine Mountains were cheering for this because it was not only the rebirth of the nine-tailed fox, but also the rebirth of the mountain and sea great world.

That was a new world, a new bloodline.

The Divine Mountains sensed it and naturally cheered.

At the same time, in the core of the underground, a bit of spirit fire also flared quietly.

This was the fire of the Mount Kunlun’s earth vein.

The remnant fire that had been extinguished for an unknown number of years reignited after sensing the Nine-tailed Fox’s rebirth.

When this earth fire ignited, many transcendent beings who were planting spirit herbs and cultivating in the Kunlun Mountains’ spirit vein and blessed land sensed it. The spirit aura of the spirit vein and blessed land began to flow in one direction.

It was the core of the underground.

Gradually, this newly born Earth vein spirit fire was growing under the nourishment of the spirit vein and the blessed land.

It would give birth to a new mountain god of Mount Kunlun.

…

When Hu Nuonuo walked out of the ancestral hall, she felt that her body was burning.

It was her blood boiling.

She looked at her hands.

Under her once flawless white skin, pale green capillaries were slowly relaxing.

The color of the blood had become crystal clear.

Under the sunlight, the blood that was supposed to be green reflected a faint golden color, which was as bright as the sun!
