Chapter Thirty-Six: Transformation

  In the City God Temple of Dachang County, a red big net and three foxes suddenly fell from the void.

  "Rustle!" Three white foxes cried out in a flurry, but were tightly bound by the divine power's web and could not struggle free.

  Inside the temple, on both sides were crimson candles as big as a bowl mouth, crackling and burning fiercely, illuminating the entire temple as if it were daylight. The City God statue sat upright in the main hall, with civil and military judges on either side, looking solemn and majestic. However, there was not even half a person's shadow inside the temple.

  The white fox looked around its surroundings and revealed a hint of confusion.

  Suddenly, a handsome young man in red official robes, exuding an aura of majesty and nobility, slowly walked down from the city gate, under the terrified gaze of the white fox.

  "White Fox, you have absorbed the yang energy and killed so many innocent livestock, do you know your sin!" Pan Hao transformed from the statue and stepped forward to stand in front of the three white foxes, his voice low and stern as he rebuked them.

  "Chirp, chirp." The three white foxes didn't dare to be too much, hastily chirping and making excuses, their front paws stretched out in a salute. They continuously kowtowed and begged for mercy. However, they hadn't reached the stage of refinement where the Adam's apple was fully formed, so they couldn't utter human speech.

  Suddenly, "ding ding!" Two light sounds, only one white fox was left among the three white foxes, and two silver-white hairs were floating gently in the air.

  "This incarnation method is indeed unique, the aura on his body can be exactly the same as that of the original. It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake. No wonder he was able to escape the Taoist's pursuit just now!" Pan Hao thought to himself with a hint of contemplation.

  "I have a way to make you speak!" Pan Hao waved his hand grandly, and the surroundings changed rapidly in the white fox's shocked expression. In an instant, a magnificent and noble great hall rose from the ground, with a red sun rising behind it, casting sacred crimson light across the sky. Inside the hall, four vermilion dragon pillars supported the heavens, their jaws open and claws dancing, exuding an aura of majesty! The floor was paved with crystal red jade, giving off an air of nobility and grandeur.

  "Say it!!" Pan Hao turned around and looked at the white fox, who had transformed into a 12 or 13-year-old adorable little girl with a rosy complexion.

  "Spare my life, sir! I won't dare again!" The little girl's voice was clear and pleasant as she lay on the ground, speaking in a pitifully weak tone.

  The white fox suddenly froze, as if it hadn't realized that it could speak. Then, with an incredulous expression, it stared at its own body, its sparkling small hands moving all over, trying to determine whether it was dreaming or not.

  "I've turned into a human! How did I transform? Great! I finally transformed!" The white fox had completely forgotten about Pan Hao's existence, and was rejoicing and jumping around by herself.

  "Cough! That's enough!" Pan Hao's low voice sounded, his voice already carrying a hint of divine power, which instantly froze the white fox's movements. The white fox stiffly turned its head around, only then realizing what kind of situation it was in.

  With a thud, the white fox continued to lie on the ground, its cute little face facing downwards, but its shiny black round eyes kept stealing glances at Pan Hao's reaction.

  "The little one coincidentally ate the spiritual medicine and opened up his mind, but he didn't have a cultivation method, so he could only use the most crude method to absorb yang energy to cultivate. However, Xiao's guarantee is that he absolutely hasn't absorbed any human yang energy!" The white fox said in a clear and crisp voice, swearing solemnly.

  "Hmm!" Pan Hao's eyes gleamed upwards, the white fox on top had an aura that was white with a hint of red, but around it was a strong resentment and bloody energy tightly wrapped. The resentment and bloody energy slowly seeped into the aura's fate, causing the white fox to gradually lose its rationality, becoming bloodthirsty and frenzied.

  "Is this what Master Shi said was a demon?" Pan Hao carefully sensed and indeed did not feel any human bloodthirst.

  However, in his heart, he couldn't stop thinking. The white fox's situation was somewhat similar to the invasion of the heart demon. Killing karma would entangle the host, causing the host's mental state to lose balance.

  "A death sentence can be spared, but a life sentence is hard to escape! Go and compensate the people for their livestock money, and do good deeds in both counties to make up for your past mistakes!" Pan Hao hesitated for a moment. The white fox had not hurt anyone and would not be put to death. So he decided to let the white fox compensate the people instead, which was more important for the people.

  "Yes, yes sir!" The white fox acknowledged with its mouth, bowing down to the ground. However, a hint of cunning color appeared in its eyes.

  "Don't think about anything else, if you leave Dachang County thirty miles away, you will weigh the consequences yourself!" Pan Hao waved his sleeve, a red light fell on the white fox's neck, turning into an exquisite necklace, hanging on the white fox's neck, making the white fox even more lovely and moving.

  However, the white fox couldn't laugh anymore, her little face had turned into a bitter melon face. She looked at the necklace on her neck with great regret.

  Boom! The sky and earth changed color, the majestic and imposing grand hall that had just been filled with an aura of nobility suddenly vanished. On the ground, only a white fox remained, prostrating itself on the ground.

  The little fox opened its dazed eyes, looked around at the surroundings, and finally came to its senses. Looking up at the statue on the grand hall, it seemed as if nothing had ever moved, and no one had come down from above. The little fox wondered if it had just had a dream.

  "Rustle!" The little fox made a tentative cry, but the statue still didn't react. It was just a carving after all. The little fox's raised heart finally fell back into its belly.

  Suddenly, the little fox's body stiffened, and she felt something - a bright red, exquisite necklace was steadily hanging around its neck.

  Jingqu County, Pan Hao's divine soul recalled his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh at the white fox's movements. Just now, Pan Hao had only used the convenience of his divine position to capture the white fox in the Chenghuang Temple and put it into a dream state. By controlling the white fox's dreamscape, he was able to suddenly transform the space.

  The white fox walked out of the City God Temple with its head hung low, when suddenly a message was transmitted to it from the necklace around its neck. The various uses of the necklace were conveyed to it, and on top of that, there was even a map of Dachang County, with a red dot emitting a strong aura rapidly approaching the white fox's direction.

  "It's that Taoist!" The white fox's heart tightened, unable to believe that the Taoist could detect the faint aura of evil on her and track it down.

  "It's a good thing that person just left behind a necklace!" A faint white mist-like aura on the White Fox's body surged into the necklace, and with a whoosh, the necklace formed a faint red glow that enveloped the White Fox entirely, causing her aura to merge instantly with that of Dachang County.

  "Huh, how did it disappear again!" Xie Xu Zhen, who was flying rapidly towards the location, looked down at a silver-colored compass with intricate flower patterns on her hand. The red needle that originally pointed straight to the county town was now spinning around in circles without stopping. It had completely lost track of the white fox's aura.

  "Squeak!" The white fox, seeing that the originally fierce and intimidating red dot had begun to hesitate, suddenly became excited and started dancing with joy. It was clear that it had been chased by Xie Xu Zhen to the point of extreme frustration, and now saw Xie Xu Zhen as a headless fly flying around erratically. Suddenly feeling delighted, it jumped away in another direction with a swagger.
