Chapter 24: The Celestial Foxes Visitors Part 1

After that incident, Siri’s worldview was constantly shattered by his Master because, along the way to the cave she mentioned, spiritual plants of higher grades kept popping like ordinary cabbages on the path she took.

All of it was pulled. Either tossed to him or stored in her inventory when throwing was a hassle.

Not a single one was left for the sole reason that her vision was blocked by screens and it was inconvenient to walk around.

Siri closed his mouth, suppressing his grievances. If it happened to him, he would grin from ear to ear and kneel on the spot, crying his heart out, but other than useless grass and occasional rocks, he found nothing.

But somehow, his master was plagued with them, almost to the point he would hear her complain in a hushed voice about her back aching from bending over, or how they were not together for one pulling, and so on.

Siri was mentally crying every time he heard that, but as someone whose priorities were straight, Siri still offered his help, which his master was very grateful for, but when it came to picking, he actually could not see anything!

What’s going on?

Even when his master stood behind him and pointed to the plant that was supposedly there, even with her thorough directions, Siri was still unable to see the shadow of the plant she was referring to until his master bent over and pulled it out.

"Brother Siri, here it is." Li Chunhua pulled the plant. It looks like a dandelion, but the petals on top are a shade of pink and glowing with faint golden light.

(T⌓T)

How?

Isn’t that the spot he pasted his face over and even sniffed for any traces of medicinal scent?

Siri’s face crumbled.

Amongst the weeds, it should have been conspicuous and easily spotted, but Siri couldn’t find it no matter what, leaving him to suffer another reality check. Is it really because he’s unlucky?

Mulling over the reason, Siri stared at the panel.

[Periwinkle Detoxification Plant

-Grade: Fourth Class

-Main components and subcomponents of various detoxification pills

-Cannot be taken orally without processing]

Just after that, Li Chunhua pulled another one from the same spot and another.

Each was a heavy slap to his face.

Siri finally stood up, defeated, staggering like a swaying withered leaf, and left the picking to his Master before sitting down on the grass, hugging his legs, and putting his chin on his knees.

"Brother Siri, are you okay?" Li Chunhua carefully stored the plant inside her inventory before asking the elf, whose face was blank and staring in the distance.

"Master, I’m fine. Master should continue. I’m just thinking about my life."

Li Chunhua thought he must be homesick. She didn’t know how to comfort him, but she remembered that he dearly loved plants and went to hug those weeds after he recovered while shouting a hundred ’whys’ to the sky.

Li Chunhua sniffed, and under Siri’s sad eyes, a certain someone started vigorously pulling plants one after another and throwing them to the elf, and Siri, watching the high-grade plants being stacked on his side, couldn’t contain his emotions anymore and cried.

Li Chunhua stiffened, and her actions became even more vigorous than before, turning the land bald and constantly tossing plants behind her. She only stopped when she couldn’t hear anymore of Siri’s cries. She initially thought Siri was already happy, but when she turned around, Brother Siri was nowhere in sight, and there was only a 8-chi (2.8 meters) mountain made of edible plants in front of her.

"Brother Siri?" She shouted three times while sweeping her gaze on the surroundings, thinking that the elf had gone somewhere else.

It wasn’t until she heard his voice. "Master, I’m here".

Siri’s tear-stricken face, covered with dirt and grasses, emerged from the edible plant mountain, spitting out some green stalk in the process.

"Brother Siri, what are you doing there?" Li Chunhua asked, stunned, and she began to store the edible plants in her inventory to help Siri out.

Siri, overwhelmed with sadness, didn’t have the energy to reply anymore. The only thing keeping him in check was that the little fox, his master’s familiar, seems to have been gone for a long time and has not come back, probably because it couldn’t find a single edible plant.

He he.

However, his joy was very brief because a little white fluffy figure came back and ran to him, placed an edible plant of the ground, before speaking in a shy voice. Its white fur turned a shade of pink in the midst. "Sir Elf, I found an edible plant. Could I touch your silky, beautiful, smooth hair just once?"

Siri looked at the grade of the edible plant in a state of shock.

[Grade: 2nd Class]

Before he ran off back to the territory with tears streaming down his face,

Why am I even here with these two? I should have stayed inside the territory and not hurt myself!

"Master, what did I do wrong?" The little fox asked Li Chunhua in a dejected voice after the elf didn’t say a single word to them and just stormed off.

Li Chunhua looked at his plant and hers before sighing, "It’s not enough. Little Mantou should put more effort into it. Brother Siri should be missing his home, and we need to be more understanding."

A look of realization budded on the little fox’s face. "So that’s it! Yes Master! I will Master!"

Li Chunhua nodded and praised him. "That’s the spirit. I should put in more effort as well. Come to think of it, how about you, Little Mantou? Are you missing your home?"

If Siri were here and had listened to their conversation, he would be more miserable.

"I’m not. It’s so boring in the cave," Little Fox responded.

Recalling those days in the comprehension caves, Li Chunhua completely understood the little fox. The little fox must have asked his parents to come out and play.

After stuffing all the edible plants, the two set off towards the territory, and when they arrived, they were startled to see a bunch of people with fox ears and fox tails swinging behind their butts.

The moment they saw Li Chunhua and Little Mantou, they quickly shouted in anger, "You despicable human who enslaved and tricked our innocent and lovely Prince! Taste our wrath!"

Little Mantou was too late to react. "No!"

Siri inside the fence heard their shouts and cast a barrier around his master, only for it to be...

[Casted Spell Failed]

"..." Sh*t

Therefore, Li Chunhua could only eat all the attacks with a bewildered face. I’m a despicable human? Wait! Why attack me all of a sudden? Can we just talk first? She immediately strengthened her defense with her qi.

Dust billowed, the ground cracked, fissures formed, the novice territory barrier trembled, and the surroundings were destroyed by the combined forces of chief fox mages.

Anyone who was at the center of the attack would cease to breathe, and even his ashes would be obliterated, but...

After the cloud of dust dispersed, Li Chunhua stood unaffected, coughing from the dust without a single scratch on her body. Only her hair became a chicken nest, and her clothes had holes.

Siri was relieved, although he was also very astonished at the same time.

A damage indicator floated above her head, [-0], leaving the chief fox mages stunned and terrified.

∑(O_O;)

What the heck!

It’s really a 0?

They stared at the damage floating indicator for a few seconds, however the number didn’t change.

Each of them kneeled on the ground in an instant, began apologizing, and took out their treasures and tokens of their sincerity.

Magic wands, equipment, gems, ores and so on.

Due to the large amount of dust in her eyes and mouth, Li Chunhua couldn’t respond, and the chief fox mages thought she was still angry.

They gritted their teeth, transformed into large foxes, and began rolling over while barking woof woof and swishing their tails on the dusty ground.

Just as Li Chunhua recovered from the dust, she found herself covered by dust again.

"..."

Meanwhile, the four elder foxes could feel a cold presence behind them.

It was Siri with an angry look.
