Chapter 102: The White Fox of the Snow Mountain

A group of people walked back and forth like this, stopping and going, always circling around this area. They knew the treasure was probably hidden here, but they couldn't find the key spot.

Tang Wei trailed behind, circling, her mood getting more and more irritable. She could only toss the fruits in her space endlessly, taking a bite, not liking it, tossing it aside to grab another, bite again, still not liking it. Ah! I wonder if it's because she's irritated that her taste buds are off, or if the fruits in the space really taste bad now. It's too much trouble!

When she felt something was off, she realized a little tail had been following her all along. To test if it was her suspicion, Tang Wei took out an apple from her space, bit it, tossed it to the side, and stared at it carefully. Sure enough, a white shadow flashed, and the apple disappeared.

That white shadow was so fast! With her current cultivation, she couldn't tell what it was, so she started suspecting it might be a ghost. Although she was now a Golden Core stage cultivator, just thinking about such terrifying things made her skin crawl with goosebumps.

Thinking about it, she started to feel a bit afraid, and stealthily walked to Zi Xuan's side, wanting to show him what she had seen.

Before she could speak, Zi Xuan flicked her nose and smiled, saying, "Now you just noticed it? That thing has been following you all along. How careless! It's not reassuring at all! Fortunately, it's just a small animal. If it were someone trying to harm you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have your head right now."

"Is it a small animal? Did you see it? What kind of animal is it? Is it cute?"

Hearing it was just a small animal, Tang Wei got excited and grabbed Zi Xuan's hand, asking desperately.

In her mind, she was already imagining how beautiful it would be. Girls naturally love those tiny, adorable animals! Otherwise, how could all the pet sellers make money!

"I don't know what animal it is. Its movements are too fast. I can't see it clearly, and I don't dare use my spiritual sense for fear of scaring it away. I only know it's about the size of a small dog or cat, and it's white."

Zi Xuan imagined what he saw, roughly describing it.

Hearing it was only a small animal and white, Tang Wei's eyes lit up. After her own excitement subsided a bit, she stared at Zi Xuan and said, "Little Xuan, let's catch it, okay? I want to bring it home to raise."

Staring at him like that, she was afraid he wouldn't agree, so she used a look that was very much wanted, and Zi Xuan would agree.

Looking at Tang Wei's dazzling smile, Zi Xuan's heart softened, and he nodded without thinking! At this moment, even if Tang Wei wanted the moon, he would immediately try to pick it and give it to her.

More than ten people from the eight great families gathered together, seriously analyzing the map, not at all focused on what Zi Xuan and Tang Wei were doing. They wouldn't even notice that there was a small thing following them, their minds only on their treasure. They found another spot that seemed similar or not, and wanted to go check. So they came again to ask the two elders.

"You guys go first, leave us a message talisman. When you find it, send us a message!" Zi Xuan refused without hesitation, and didn't tell them he was trying to catch a small animal.

These people weren't angry. Having the two seniors follow and fidget for so long, they felt guilty too. After handing over a message talisman, they started heading to another destination.

When they were all far away, Tang Wei confirmed with her spiritual sense and then asked, "Little Xuan, how do we catch it?"

"Why not call out Little Spirit? She's a spirit entity, her senses are stronger than ours. She definitely has a good way."

Zi Xuan thought for a moment and suggested.

Tang Wei nodded, and in the blink of an eye, Little Spirit appeared by Tang Wei's side, smiling brightly, saying, "Sister, Zi Xuan brother, you finally remembered me! I...! Eh! It seems there's an animal that just opened its spiritual intelligence around here."

"Did you see it? What animal is it? Is it the white one that followed us for a long way?"

Tang Wei asked excitedly when she saw her mentioning it right away.

"I don't know, I just sensed it! Sister, you quickly adopt it. With it, I can come out every day to accompany you." Little Spirit was even more excited than Tang Wei. After being confined in the space for billions of years, finally able to come out and see this world, of course she was overjoyed.

"Don't worry! I was originally planning to raise it, that's why I called you out to see if there's a way to catch it. Now that you can help, we are even more determined to succeed." Tang Wei looked at Little Spirit's excitement and instead her mood calmed down, and she comforted her gently.

"Mm!" Little Spirit smiled sweetly this time, nodding vigorously at Tang Wei, almost wanting to run over and kiss her.

"But? We don't know how to lure it over! And its speed is very fast, it might not be easy to catch." Tang Wei was a bit worried.

"Don't be afraid! Do you know why it's been following you?" Little Spirit gave a hint, seeing if Tang Wei could figure it out.

"It's not just because it was picking up the fruits I dropped along the way." Tang Wei muttered, her mind flashing with light, eyes brightening: "It wants food, so it follows us?"

"Not so simple. Our fruits grow in the space, and they also contain a trace of spiritual energy. Since it has opened its intelligence, it probably is very sensitive to spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the fruits was sensed by it, and this spiritual fruit is also very helpful for its cultivation. Don't forget that animals are more vigilant than humans, especially those with opened intelligence. After seeing people, they would hide far away long ago, and wouldn't follow us so recklessly!" Zi Xuan smiled and explained to Tang Wei.

"I got it, so it must be wanting to eat this spiritual fruit, that's why it doesn't care." Tang Wei guessed enthusiastically.

"Almost, why don't we try with an apple first to see what happens? Don't toss it too far, see what it does!" Zi Xuan suggested, and casually took out an apple from the space, tossing it about one or two meters away.

After waiting for a long time, the apple was still there, probably the little thing's courage was too small. The three discussed again, trying backing to it, using spiritual light to watch there. Sure enough, the little thing slowly crawled over, bit the apple, and flashed away.

Tang Wei exclaimed in alarm, "It's a white fox!"

Zi Xuan saw it too, smiling and agreeing, "Yes, it's a very pretty white fox."

"You two have such high cultivation, how come it can't sense your spiritual sense? It's making you scared like that! Why are you more worried than me?" Little Spirit joked from the side.

"You? It's very agile, it should be hard to catch!" Tang Wei was a bit anxious, glared at Little Spirit, then turned to ask Zi Xuan with a panicked look.

"Don't worry, take it slow! This is how animals are. You slowly toss it some things, and when it gets used to you, it will come over by itself." Zi Xuan wasn't anxious at all. He had read in the books in his space that if you don't want to sign a contract with a spiritual beast, you can only do it slowly.

"Why don't we roast a chicken to eat!" Tang Wei was really afraid of trouble. Thinking about the books she read when bored in the past, any roasted things could attract a lot of attention, like experts, spiritual beasts! They were all lured by this method, a hundred trials hundred successful. After all, greed is an unbreakable bad habit for many people, not to mention animals.

"It can work! It might really be effective! Our space's chickens are raised with abundant spiritual energy, and fed with spiritual springs, so their meat is tender and juicy. Plus the aroma of roasted meat, even immortals might not resist this temptation!" Zi Xuan wholeheartedly approved this method, smiling as he prepared to roast and eat the chicken.

He knocked open the ice on the ground, took out wood from the space, Tang Wei flicked her finger, a spark flew over, "boom", the wood caught fire. Zi Xuan had already taken out the cleaned whole chicken from the space, smeared with special seasoning from the space, strung it horizontally with an iron rod, and placed it on the fire to roast.

Gradually, the chicken skin turned yellow, a layer of shiny oil gloss baked on it, a trace of aroma spreading out, making Tang Wei start to drool.

The aroma became stronger and stronger, spreading layer by layer. When it looked charred yellow outside, Zi Xuan took out a small knife, cut it open slightly to check, inside it was also cooked, so he cut a strip and sent it to Tang Wei's mouth. Tang Wei tasted it carefully: "Mm! Delicious! Outer crispy, inner tender, crispy and tempting, the chili's aroma, rich and intense, the cumin's aroma, lingering, the chicken's aroma, making the tongue want to swallow. Little Xuan's cooking has improved again!"

Zi Xuan cut a small piece and tossed it one meter away, then didn't care. The little snow fox nearby, smelling the chicken aroma, had been drooling for a long time. Seeing Zi Xuan toss a piece of meat there, wanting to eat but not daring, finally greed won over reason, slowly moving over, biting the chicken meat and flashing back.

The little snow fox had grown up in this snowy mountain since childhood, never eaten cooked food, let alone roasted so aromatic! A small piece of meat couldn't satisfy its greed, instead made it even more longing. Zi Xuan understood its nature, tossed another piece there. After trying several times, the snow fox seemed to sense that those people wouldn't harm it, and when eating meat, it didn't run, starting to slowly squat in place, waiting for another piece to be tossed. Zi Xuan tossed the meat closer and closer, finally luring it to its side with this method.

Tang Wei wasn't in a hurry to catch it, seeing that Zi Xuan's chicken was getting less, she took out another chicken from the space and started slowly roasting it by the fire. After the snow fox finished the last piece of chicken from Zi Xuan's hand, it didn't rush to leave, instead stood there staring at Tang Wei's food until a familiar aroma came, it jumped up dancing, meowing in its mouth, as if urging Tang Wei to hurry.
