Spiritual Tablet Island, solitary and isolated on an ancient cloud-patterned tree, an enchanting scene was unfolding.
In a moment of carelessness, Master Tao was ensnared by Bai Yin Immortal's jade-like, snow-white snake tail, embraced in front, placed upon the tree, hardly a palm's width between them. Tao Qian could feel Aunt Bai Yin's orchid-like scent on his face, with long strands of blue silk draping down, binding their bodies just so.
This scene was much like their first encounter.
Even their greetings remained unchanged.
Then Aunt Bai Yin stuck out a moist little tongue, affectionately licking Tao Qian.
One lick seemed not enough; after a soft exclamation, she licked a few more times.
Tao Qian knew this was Aunt Bai Yin's innate "snake species" instinct, as well as a kind of sensing, a detection-type innate divine skill.
Usually unnecessary, yet when employed, always effective.
Last time was just ; Aunt Bai Yin licked him a few times, directly discerning Tao Qian's preferences, his perception of Aunt Bai Yin, all clear and distinct, as if observing palm lines.
Sure enough, before Tao Qian could speak, Aunt Bai Yin first anticipated his intentions and thoughts.
Her reaction was a soft chuckle, with a rare hint of pride in her tone, teasingly saying:
"Cultivation has surpassed me, yet Master Tao comes seeking my aid again."
"What does Yunrong, that little kitten, say? Isn't she worried I'll take advantage of the chance to eat her husband?"
"You must know, this is a perfect excuse."
Bai Yin Immortal, by nature calm and detached, only spoke more when facing Tao Qian.
Her words perfectly aligned with Yunrong, indeed they were a pair of adversaries.
Hearing Aunt Bai Yin speak thusly, Tao Qian found it awkward to respond and so awkwardly changed the subject, hastily saying:
"Aunt Bai Yin's divine skills are certainly formidable. This time Tao Qian truly has something to ask for."
"I have a friend whose true form is the ancient exotic treasure [Mountain and River Map], a treasure whose former master was the Outer Realm Innate God Demon Emperor Wa." Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
"Recently, Emperor Wa's direct disciple, also the Devil Tomb Fox Clan Leader 'Da,' brought the Devil Tomb Fox, Jade Pipa, and Nine-headed Pheasant clans to the Longevity Realm, holding an Emperor Wa's Token, ordering my friend Ancestor Spirit Daoist to submit to her. Though her dao practices are high, she seems intending to act with impure motives; my friend has foreseen, should they truly submit, they would likely meet an unfortunate end."
"Hearing Aunt Bai Yin is a Princess of the Wa Snake Clan, even reputable before Emperor Wa, could Aunt Bai Yin perhaps lend a hand, saving my friend."
Bai Yin knew Tao Qian came seeking help, though had not discerned the details.
Upon hearing, her face showed a contemplative expression.
Evidently names like Emperor Wa, Wa Snake Clan Princess, Devil Tomb Fox Clan, Da... and the like, were ones she had not heard in a long time.
"So that's how it is; Aunt Bai Yin thought, with your origins and foundations, if even your skills and divine prowess couldn't solve the matter, perhaps Aunt Bai Yin could because it involved the Emperor Wa lineage."
"My identity as a Wa Snake Clan Princess is actually not much; Wa Snakes are very fertile, there being no less than a thousand Princesses, maybe eight hundred, ordinary Princesses lack the position to make 'Sister Da' concede. Though not favored in Emperor Wa Palace, she is truly a direct disciple."
"However, should I speak, it may work, as Sister Da has never refused me since childhood."
"That Emperor Wa's Token is not a rare object, for I possess one, as well."
While speaking, Aunt Bai Yin brought her skill to bear.
From the alluringly smooth flank, a lump of flesh bulged suddenly, amidst scattering flesh and blood, emerged a snow-white arm, slimy and pale, holding a token, fully oil-green, not stone nor jade, exuding an intimidating divine aura.
Bai Yin, rarely boastful, Tao Qian knew at a glance.
Indeed, many Wa Snake Clan Princesses, yet they feared Aunt Bai Yin might be the most unique, seemingly having an excellent relationship with the Devil Tomb Fox Clan Leader "Da."
Tao Qian wished to speak, to plead once more.
Bai Yin perceived his thoughts, lazily smiling, pointedly silencing him by placing a finger on his lips, directly saying:
"Rarer still, you've come to Spiritual Tablet Island, calling me aunt; wouldn't leave you disappointed and departing."
"Be patient, let me first speak a word or two with Sister Da."
With those words, it remained unknown what secret skill Bai Yin cast.
That "Emperor Wa's Token" suddenly burst with a dim light, sketching out a circular portal.
Beyond the portal emerged a beauty, both sinister and primal.
Beauty, naturally due to her appearance, an apricot face, peach cheeks, brows like gentle spring hills, eyes like autumn waves... even Tao Qian at that moment couldn't help but marvel at such a face, thinking that perhaps none could match her in charm to all beings, neither Yunrong nor Yuann Mingzhen.
According to logic, such beauty must correspond with an ample bosom, slender waist, fine hips, and long legs.
However, as Tao Qian gazed downward, he saw a large, furry fox's body, nine fox tails extending and swaying behind, drifting yellow clouds, wafting green smoke, many similarly "human-headed fox-bodied" fox cubs playing 'round her, and some crouched and wriggled on her belly, as if newly birthed offspring.
The scene appeared both otherworldly and divine.
"This is indeed Emperor Wa's direct disciple, Devil Tomb Fox Clan Leader 'Da,' seemingly mastering the charm of beings, the art of chaos in the world."
"With such a magic realm, she surely has achieved the Dao once."
Due to Bai Yin's spell concealing, Tao Qian could see the other, that one went unseen.
As he marveled, both originating from Emperor Wa Palace, started catching up.
The first to speak was Da.
She appeared as a Fox God, upon speaking, her voice indeed ethereal and divine, compelling subservience and worship.
