Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Foreign Fox

The large satellite with a silver glow gradually enlarges in view, its energy dome, artificial atmosphere, and countless gathering points and giant facilities on the surface come into sight. Immortal Boat once again sends a slowdown docking reminder to Hu Li, and Yu Sheng then sees the Immortal Boat descend onto "Taiyou" like a gentle leaf, heading toward a beacon light on the surface.

Hu Li’s several tails adjust their angle and thrust strength again, aligning with Immortal Boat’s landing direction, and following its directional guidance through the atmosphere, getting closer to the ground.

Yu Sheng notices a large facility ahead, it is a tall tower built on the plain, radiant and exquisite, surrounded by auspicious clouds, along with numerous floating White Jade Platforms adorned with Immortal Treasure Seals around the tower. Immortal Boats from space frequently dock at these platforms, which then adjust their position, descend to the ground, or retract into the tower’s underlevel hangars, enhancing airport speed and capacity efficiency.

As Hu Li tries to approach one of the platforms, the Artifact Spirit within the exquisite tower immediately perceives the "Temporary Mobile Immortal Driving License" tied under Hu Li’s chin, upon which the platform emits a guiding beam and actively moves to the most suitable landing position. A mystical voice reaches Yu Sheng and Hu Li’s ears: "Welcome - Temporary Docking - Nine-Tailed Immortal - to visit Lingxi Mine Scenic Area, you can enjoy free parking at this Scenic Airport."

Upon hearing this, Hu Li turns her head with a notably joyful voice: "Savior, I get to park for free here!"

Yu Sheng: "...Yes, as long as you’re happy."

After a few minutes of brief queuing, the White Jade Platform gently descends to the ground nearby the tower. Hu Li nimbly jumps off the platform and walks towards the direction where Immortal Boat landed, while Yu Sheng takes this opportunity to look around, coincidentally noticing another platform also slowly descending from the sky nearby.

With a casual glance upward, he unexpectedly sees on that platform stands a huge fox—Jade-faced Golden Fur Five Tails, looking proud and dignified. Once the platform stabilizes, it steps off the platform with poise and elegance.

This is Yu Sheng’s first time seeing a Immortal Fox on this side, he excitedly tugs at the fox fur beneath his body: "Hey! Hu Li, there’s another Fox Deity over there!"

"Where, where?" Hu Li immediately lifts her head to look around and quickly spots the Jade-faced Golden Fur Five-Tailed Fox walking ahead with its chest out, delightedly stepping briskly towards it, "Hello!"

The next second, Yu Sheng sees the Jade-faced Golden Fox shiver slightly, lifting its head to look at the Nine-Tailed Silver Fox from this side with an expression of shock and tension—actually, it’s difficult for Yu Sheng to discern an expression of shock on a fox’s face, his main judgment is the tail of the other party almost puffed up into a ball.

"Upper-Upper Immortal?" The Jade-faced Golden Fox subconsciously lowers its body, cautiously tilting its head slightly as if not daring to directly meet Hu Li’s gaze, then emits a crisp girl voice, "Does Upper Immortal have any instruction... ah, I didn’t mean to rush your Immortal Boat Platform! I saw there was no one stopping, so I came up..."

"Ah? You didn’t snatch my spot," Hu Li tilted her head, inexplicably puzzled, "I just saw another fox and brought Savior over to say hello~~"

Yu Sheng stands up from Hu Li’s back, walks up to the latter’s head so that the opposite Jade-faced Golden Fox can see him, mimicking the hand gesture of greeting from this side: "Hello, I’m Yu Sheng."

The Jade-faced Golden Fox looks bewildered: "Ah, hello?"

Then after a moment, cautiously looking at Hu Li, she speaks: "Does Upper Immortal have any command?"

"No," Hu Li says casually, "I just greeted and I’ll be going, we have things to do."

"Uh, Upper Immortal, have a safe journey..."

Hu Li carries Yu Sheng and strolls away.

The Jade-faced Golden Fox remains in place, watching the figure of the Nine-Tailed Silver Fox disappear in the distance before finally exhaling in relief, the fur erected all over its body slowly calming down as well.

At almost the same time, a middle-aged man’s voice comes from beside: "Linglong? What are you doing standing here?"

The Jade-faced Golden Fox called Linglong turns around, seeing a tall and thin, pale-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man standing nearby, looking at her with confusion.

"Great-uncle!" Linglong the Golden Fox immediately bows down, her eyes sparkling, her voice sounding extremely cheerful, "Nine tails! Just now that Immortal, nine tails!!"

"What nine tails are you rambling about," the purple-robed middle-aged man frowns, "I told you to come find me right after landing, but you still haven’t shown up. I thought you collided with someone’s Immortal Boat again, but here you are daydreaming! Remember last time how you stayed wrapped in bandages from a rear tail collision for over a month?"

"Hey hey, wasn’t daydreaming! I met an Immortal! A Nine-Tailed Silver Fox, so white... not a single patch of mismatched fur!" Linglong seems oblivious to the reprimands of the purple-robed man, continuing excitedly, "You didn’t see it, but so beautiful! Pure Spiritual Fire surrounding, just walking past, the fur like satin... How does she maintain such a brilliant coat? Oh and I dared not ask, Upper Immortal just walked by to greet me... nine tails!!"

The purple-robed middle-aged man finally gleaned from Linglong’s chaotic yet overly excited descriptions, gradually revealing surprise and unexpected expressions on his face, then unconsciously frowned.

"Nine-Tailed Silver Fox? What is such an Upper Immortal doing here... also visiting the Mine Park?"

"That I don’t know, she didn’t say, but I also saw a person, standing on Upper Immortal’s head, claiming to be Yu Sheng, looking just like ordinary people, Upper Immortal calls him ’Savior’.

"...?!"

"What’s wrong, Uncle Grandpa?"

"You should read fewer of those comic books your dad collects!"

"Huh?"

...

Beside a pavilion built against the mountain, Yu Sheng met Xuan Che, along with Luna and Erin, who had just disembarked from the Immortal Boat.

As soon as they met, he saw Erin standing on Luna’s shoulder, looking around like a sailor on a lookout tower.

"This place is great! Although it doesn’t look as grand as Qianfeng Ling Mountain, there are huge houses, machines, and spaceships everywhere!" The little puppet excitedly shouted as soon as she saw Yu Sheng, "I thought this ’satellite’ would be very desolate!"

"It’s a developed immigrant star for hundreds of years, how could it still be desolate," Yu Sheng laughed, then looked up and down at the seemingly amicable two puppets and couldn’t help but comment, "I’m surprised you two haven’t fought."

Erin immediately crossed her arms: "Model C buckle is defeated under me! I don’t need to bully her."

Luna didn’t mind the arrogant little puppet on her shoulder, she just nodded slowly and reported to Yu Sheng, "Erin didn’t mess around and didn’t get stuck in the chair."

"See, I told you Yu Sheng was overly worried. I’m a puppet from Alice’s Cottage, what’s there to worry about taking a shuttle," Erin said proudly, bouncing onto Yu Sheng’s shoulder, then turned to wave at Luna, "But by the way, I think your accent is somewhat strong..."

"Was your trip smooth?" Xuan Che glanced at the Nine-Tailed Fox squatting beside Yu Sheng and scratching an itch, "I noticed you took quite a while to come out after landing."

Yu Sheng nodded: "It was fine, just greeted another Fox Deity after landing."

"Speaking of, people have been watching us all along," Hu Li murmured while scratching the soft fur on her neck with her hind paw, "What are they looking at?"

"...Maybe it’s because Hu Li the fox girl is quite striking like this," Xuan Che pondered for a moment, hesitantly saying, "Nine-Tailed Spiritual Foxes are rare here, even rarer are Silver Foxes—the Fox Clan holds white in high regard and demonstrates cultivation level with the number of tails. I forgot to mention..."

Hu Li paused from scratching, tilting her head in confusion: "Huh? Does more tails mean more powerful?"

"That’s pretty much it. There’s an ancient saying, ’A fox grows a tail with each lifetime,’ referring to a type of ancient cultivation for Spiritual Foxes, where one experiences ’birth, aging, illness, and death’ to complete a cycle, increasing a tail with each cycle. It’s considered that a Spiritual Fox must endure a life-death tribulation to grow another tail’s worth of cultivation level... Though this ancient method is now obsolete, ranking by tail number is still widely recognized among Beast Spirit Demon Immortals."

The fox girl listened and initially was stunned, then visibly excited: "Hey, Savior, can I then..."

"No."

"I haven’t finished..."

"No summoning ’Ten Thousand Tails Congregation’ here—and it’s about time you changed back; your current size amidst the crowd worries me, thinking you might step on someone."

"Oh."

Hu Li drooped her ears, rubbed her nose against Yu Sheng, grumbled a bit, and eventually obediently reverted to her spirited girl form—but keeping her nine tails visible.

After all, she came to Qianfeng Ling Mountain expressly to enjoy having her tails exposed to feel the wind and sunlight.

Yu Sheng saw this but said nothing—after all, more than worrying about Hu Li running around with nine tails, he was busy with an "Artificial Saintess" wandering all over too.

Of course, he also confirmed with Baili Qing regarding Luna’s situation, concluding that in this world, not only ordinary people but even over ninety percent of Transcendents might not recognize the "Artificial Saintess." Indeed, there aren’t many worthy of an Artificial Saintess’s action, and even fewer who have survived after seeing one, especially in Qianfeng Ling Mountain filled with Artifact Refining Masters and bizarre Mechanical Puppets; worrying about causing any uproar here is less of a concern.

"I’ll take you to the entrance of the mysterious Exotic Realm," Xuan Che said, "I reconfirmed some details with my mentor on the way, its entrance lies deep within the mine’s restricted area, follow me."

Yu Sheng nodded and then stepped to follow Xuan Che.

However, at that moment, Erin, sitting on his shoulder, suddenly raised her head and blurted out, "Danger sense!"
