Chapter 125: 95, 96. Catastrophe is imminent, maxing out Fox Immortal’s favorability (Major Chapter - Please Subscribe)

Prefectural City, East of the City, Top-Quality Delicacies Pavilion.

The tavern, which had long since closed, miraculously opened its doors, with chefs and servers bustling about bustling with activity. It was clearly the early hours of the morning, and the surrounding area was pitch dark, with everyone fast asleep, yet the tavern was busy as if it were just evening, full of life and vigor.

The power of privilege was immense. When Song Cheng set out with the Fox Immortal from the An Residence, he had already sent someone to notify the tavern at full speed.

However, he didn’t let the tavern incur losses.

This meal was to be charged at ten times the usual price.

So, when the two carriages slowed to a stop, a red carpet had already been rolled out in front of the Top-Quality Delicacies Pavilion. Inside, clerks and maids scurried back and forth, and rows of lanterns made the surroundings as bright as day.

The aroma had already wafted out from the tavern.

The Fox Immortal, delighted, got off the carriage and went with Song Cheng to the best private room in the tavern.

Immediately, beggar’s chicken, along with the tavern’s specialty dishes, was served one after another.

To be honest, Song Cheng had never used the privilege of being the "Second Master Song of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall" before. Once he did today, he truly felt like a local tyrant.

"Please enjoy," Song Cheng gestured, then asked, "Want me to test for poison?"

The Fox Immortal said, "If there were poison, it would be for your women."

Song Cheng chuckled.

The Fox Immortal cracked open the clay shell of a beggar’s chicken, releasing a fragrant aroma.

She inhaled deeply, intoxicated, and then began to eat heartily.

Song Cheng looked at the data over Ling’s head: [Power: 0 (435) ~ 0 (870)].

This data showed that the "Divine Soul state of the Fox Immortal" had a Yang Qi power of "0~0," yet her actual Yang Qi power was "435~870."

So, the Fox Immortal must have a real body somewhere.

Song Cheng pondered, but he didn’t bring up the topic.

In the building, there was only the sound of the Fox Immortal eating chicken, her greasy little mouth, her rolling eyes, enjoying the meal happily.

Song Cheng suddenly said, "It’s outrageous!"

The Fox Immortal fluttered her charming eyes and glanced at the blind man opposite, puzzled.

Song Cheng complained, "Who would be so cruel to let Sister Fox Immortal go hungry?!"

The Fox Immortal didn’t expect him to say this and was stunned for a moment, even stopping her chicken-eating motion, in a state of "non-static picture stillness."

After several breaths, she resumed chewing, "glug-glug," while muttering, "My surname is Su."

Song Cheng decisively said, "Sister Su."

It seemed that Fox Immortal Su had eaten and drunk her fill, and then suddenly revealed a pitiful and plaintive look, saying, "Want to hear a story about a little fox, one that’s not a Fox Immortal?"

Song Cheng nodded.

Fox Immortal Su started narrating gently.

"There was a poor little fox, huddled in the deep night of a bitter winter, about to freeze to death when a warm hand took it and brought it to a Taoist Temple.

The rescuer was a young Taoist, who recited scriptures, and it listened to the scriptures year after year.

Perhaps the Taoist Temple was located in a blessed land, or perhaps because the little fox learned Taoist spells, it slowly transformed, from a little fox to a beautiful girl.

The girl clung to the Taoist, who was no longer young.

But the Taoist ignored her.

The more he did, the more the girl became infatuated with the Taoist.

Humans and demons cannot coexist, and finally, one day, the Taoist drove away the fox-turned girl.

And the fox girl left, saddened, to wander outside.

Day after day...

Until disaster struck.

It was an overwhelming Ghost Tide.

The little fox, lost and scared, went back to the Taoist Temple and saw the Taoist.

They fled and fled, reaching a Ghost River.

The Taoist said the Ghost River was the border of disaster, and if they could swim across, they’d reach another continent.

But to swim the Ghost River required enough power.

The Taoist used Taoist Temple spells to pass all his power to the little fox, then told her to escape.

The little fox asked if the Taoist loved her.

The Taoist said he was just doing good.

The little fox was still too foolish then, not knowing the Taoist might not have been honest. She ran heartbroken to the Ghost River’s edge, swam across it, and finally reached a strange place, a safe place, just before her consciousness faded.

But the little fox’s body vanished entirely, and she could only slowly recover her Divine Soul.

She relied on manifesting mana to make the local villagers build a shrine for her.

The accumulated incense accelerated her Divine Soul recovery.

But one day, war broke out, and the villagers fled, leaving behind an empty shrine.

The little fox waited and waited until a plump girl appeared.

The girl worshiped her, made a wish, and made promises she needed to fulfill for her.

The naive little fox believed that girl.

But in the end, she helped the girl fulfill her wish, and the girl betrayed her.

The girl pushed over the idol, destroyed the shrine, and even soaked the only painting that manifested the little fox with a potion, ruining it.

The little fox could only wait until someone else could see her again."

Fox Immortal Su’s tale grew more and more pitiable.

Yet Song Cheng felt awkward listening to it.

Why awkward?

Because it was fake.

If it were someone else, they would likely be fooled by the Fox Immortal, thinking it was her story.

But he could see the data.

Such large data showing: [Power: 0 (435) ~ 0 (870)]

The soul state of the Fox Immortal was: 0~0.

If she truly had no body, there would be no "435~870" after these data.

This data only existed with a "body."
