In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 112 Giving the Fox Spirit a Demon Core

Huowa reached out to comfort him, saying, "Don't be nervous. We are servants of the Golden Saintess. We have come to the Hu family today to deliver a demon core to the fox spirit that the Hu family supports."

Grandpa Hu's voice tightened, and the screams gradually faded away.

This really surprised him.

Having lived for decades, this was the first time he had ever witnessed a person disappear into thin air; it terrified him.

"The Golden Saintess? A fox spirit?"

The couple patted their chests, still shaken.

"The Golden Saintess is the spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. The Peach Blossom Village sacrificial ceremony was originally established for her, and your Hu family provided the sacrificial wine."

"The sacrificial wine was tampered with by the pig demon, and the people who drank it turned into grapes."

"Before the pig demon died, he revealed that they had stolen the fox spirit's demon core. Today we have come to the Hu family to return it to its rightful owner. May I ask where the fox spirit is?"

Shuiwa explained the whole story.

The two were still somewhat confused.

Grandpa Hu exclaimed in surprise, "Is there really a fox spirit in my house?"

He shook his head, and replied in surprise and bewilderment, "I have never seen a fox spirit. I thought my grandfather and father were lying to me."

Golden Saint Goddess!

Pig demon!

Fox spirit!

After a brief moment of calm, they finally believed in the existence of the Golden Saintess.

“Fairy Boy, please accept our bow.”

People have always held the greatest reverence for gods and immortals.

The two hurriedly knelt down, but were suddenly forced to stand up again. Incredulous expressions appeared on their faces. Once again, they witnessed the fairy child's supernatural power, which could make people stand up out of thin air. It was truly astonishing.

Huowa said expressionlessly, "No need to get so excited, just treat us like ordinary people."

How can this be!

Both Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu felt it was inappropriate.

There is a difference between gods and mortals; this is an age-old truth. How dare they treat gods as ordinary people? This is disrespectful to the gods.

Shuiwa said, "Master Hu, could you please invite the fox spirit to meet us?"

Grandpa Hu said nervously, "To be honest, you two immortal children, I really don't know anything about fox spirits. I've only heard my grandfather and father mention them."

Fearing that his words would offend the fairy boys, Madam Hu quickly reminded him, "Master, why don't we invite the two fairy boys to the courtyard where your father-in-law used to worship the fox spirit, and see if the fairy boys can see the fox spirit?"

Grandpa Hu immediately said, "Please, two celestial children."

The two children followed Grandpa Hu to the courtyard where the fox spirit was worshipped.

The courtyard was desolate and overgrown, having been neglected for a long time. Fallen leaves were everywhere, the houses were old and unrepaired, and the ancestral hall's door was wide open, letting in a chilling gust of wind.

The desolate scenery made Grandpa Hu blush a little.

He deserves to die!

He did not heed his father's advice to continue worshipping the fox spirit.

To let the fox spirit live in such a simple place.

If he had known the fox spirit was real, he would have worshipped it respectfully long ago.

Suddenly his face turned pale!
Thinking about the strange things that have been happening at home lately.

Could it be that the strange illness in my family is related to a fox spirit?
Madam Hu, who was standing to the side, had obviously thought of this as well, and her pupils trembled.

The couple were terrified and trembled like leaves!
Fire Boy scanned the crowd: "Fox Fairy! We are the attendants of the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. The demon core that was stolen from you by the pig demon was obtained by our goddess. The goddess sent us to return the demon core to its rightful owner. Please show yourself."

No sooner had these words been spoken than a gust of wind swept in, whipping up fallen leaves that danced wildly in the air. The unusual commotion caused Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu to change their expressions drastically.

"The fox spirit...is the fox spirit about to appear?" The couple quickly hugged each other, trembling.

"brush!"

A white fox was faintly visible.

Its size was taller than the ancestral hall, exuding an overwhelming aura. As its form became clearer, the fox materialized, walking towards them with elegant grace. Its golden pupils narrowed slightly, filled with heat. "You... you really brought back my demon core?" she asked excitedly in a girlish voice.

The eyes of Grandpa Hu and his wife trembled, and they immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Fox Spirit! Greetings, Fox Spirit!"

"May I ask you two, have you truly returned my demon core?" the fox spirit asked the two children politely. It sensed the vast spiritual energy emanating from them and knew that they were quite powerful.

"Whoosh!" Fire Boy took out the demon core and handed it to her: "The Empress has instructed us to return it to its rightful owner."

"Awoo..." The fox spirit swallowed the demon pill in one gulp, and in an instant, a stream of light washed over its fur, turning its dry fur into smooth and clean fur.

A beam of light shot out from the fox spirit's eyes.

It disappeared again immediately.

The demon core has been recovered!
The fox spirit wept with joy.

After losing her demon core, she lost the ability to cultivate. She thought that her thousands of years of cultivation had vanished into nothingness, and she suffered greatly both physically and mentally.

Now that she has retrieved the demon core, she can resume her cultivation.

Golden Saintess...

She knows who Lady Jin Sheng is!
During the days since she lost her demon core, she has received a lot of information from the outside world.

For example, Lady Wang turned the people into fruits, and after eating them, they became as beautiful as celestial beings. She devoured half the people in the town and even turned the real Lady Wang into a pig.

For example, there was a Golden Saint Goddess from the Golden Saint Mountain Range. She was incredibly powerful and had boundless magical abilities. She was kind and compassionate, and she saved people from suffering. It was said that even the county magistrate believed in her and even established a grand sacrificial ceremony for her.

She was filled with reverence and bowed in animal form: "Please go back and tell the Golden Saintess that after I have recovered, I will personally go to Mount Qihuang to thank her."

Thinking about the predicament he was in, he realized that without the help of the Golden Saintess, his chances of survival would have been slim.

She had previously used the offerings of mortals to become a half-demon immortal.

An agreement was made with Old Master Hu.

She enjoys the offerings of the Hu family's descendants, and in return, she will protect the Hu family's descendants for three hundred years. Once the three-hundred-year agreement is fulfilled, she will leave.

Who knew that the new head of the Hu family had forgotten about her, and no matter how she appeared in his dreams, she received no response. Later, she took pity on a pig and saved it, helping it become a demon and keeping it away from trouble so it could focus on cultivation. In the end, she ended up losing her demon core.

She was careless and almost lost her life.

The Golden Saintess saved her life!

“We will convey your message to the Empress. The demon core has been delivered, and we should head back now.” Fire Boy and Water Boy nodded.

"Wait!" the fox spirit said respectfully. "Two celestial children, please help us remove the ailments from the Hu family members. I am currently unable to use magic."

She felt a little embarrassed when she talked about this.

"Xiao Xian made a three-hundred-year blood pact with the old master of the Hu family. Xiao Xian lost her demon core and could not cultivate. Her bloodline gradually weakened, causing the Hu family to suffer along with her."

The fox spirit pleaded, "Please, you two celestial children, have mercy and help them."

"I am extremely grateful!"

Seeing that she had good intentions, the two children did not refuse.

"These are the Restoration Pills that Her Majesty refined before. Consuming them for three days can cure all diseases." Shuiwa took out several bottles of pills from his personal space bag.

"Restoration Pill!"

The fox spirit exclaimed in surprise.

"Thank you, Golden Saintess! Thank you, Immortal Child!" the fox spirit and the Hu couple said in unison.

The Hu couple were overjoyed to have a chance to survive.

"Thank you, Fox Fairy! It was I who disobeyed my ancestors and disrespected you, Fox Fairy. I will never do it again." The old man of the Hu family was moved. The Fox Fairy had someone bring them a magic pill.

The fox spirit said that she made a promise with her grandfather three hundred years ago, and that he would definitely worship the fox spirit properly from now on, with incense burning continuously morning and night.

The two children disappeared from the spot.

Having recovered her lost demon core, the fox spirit embarked on her cultivation journey with great enthusiasm.

Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

Upon returning home, they renovated the ancestral hall and, following the example of their ancestors, began to worship the fox spirit.

Another ancestral hall was built, and a golden statue of the Golden Saint Goddess was to be made. Incense was burned day and night, hoping that the two deities would bless the Hu family with prosperity, many descendants, and family glory.

At Qihuang Mountain, Gu Yuexi finally replenished her spiritual energy after half a month of seclusion.
