Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1120: Reunion

Foxes are inherently suspicious.

Noticing the uneasy and doubtful expression on Elder Hu’s face, Wang Chen simply revealed his true aura.

This caused the old fox’s pupils to suddenly contract: "Nascent Soul True Immortal!"

He had never dreamt that Wang Chen had already advanced to the point of Breaking the Golden Core to Condense the Nascent Soul, becoming an existence at the True Immortal Level amongst human cultivators!

The well-informed Elder Hu was also stunned.

Although throughout the ages, the human race has produced one prodigy after another, and there has never been a shortage of stunning and brilliant individuals, the sight of a living example before him still seemed unbelievable.

Wang Chen said with a smile: "Senior Hu, could you trouble yourself to inform the Fox Empress for me? I have a matter to request!"

Only then did Elder Hu notice Xiangxiang, who was following beside Wang Chen, and he was taken aback once more.

But he immediately came back to his senses, and with a big smile, he said: "No problem, Taoist Friend Wang, please wait a moment."

Now that he understood Wang Chen’s strength, the old fox spoke with much more politeness.

His figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

Wang Chen turned to Xiangxiang and said: "Don’t worry, the Fox Empress should do me the courtesy of taking you in."

Xiangxiang bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "Thank you so much, my lord!"

Initially, she was akin to a lonely wandering ghost; although she was also from the Fox Tribe, the thought of entering Green Hill was as outlandish as a lunatic’s dream.

This was the Holy Land of the Fox Tribe, where ordinary Fox Monsters had no qualifications to reside!

Wang Chen waved his hand: "No need to be so courteous."

No sooner had he spoken than Elder Hu reappeared, bowing and saying: "Taoist Friend Wang, the Holy Queen invites you."

The first time Wang Chen came to Green Hill, he was brought in after being rendered unconscious by Elder Hu.

Now that he was a Nascent Soul True Immortal, of course, he wouldn’t be treated in the same manner.

Elder Hu courteously presented a Guiding Talisman.

It was for Wang Chen to use.

As for Xiangxiang, naturally, Elder Hu would personally escort her in, for she too was from the Fox Tribe, which didn’t present any inconvenience.

Wang Chen promptly activated the Talisman, and in an instant, he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, a deeply memorable scene once again unfolded before him.

And the Fox Empress stood about ten paces away, eyeing the newly arrived Wang Chen with a curious gaze.

Wang Chen composed himself and saluted: "Junior Wang Chen pays respects to the senior!"

The Fox Empress stared at him for a long time before finally exhaling deeply and saying: "If all the humans were like you, a monstrous genius, there would be no place for our Monster Race in the vast world of Haotian!"

When she first met Wang Chen, he was at the peak of the Purple Mansion Cultivation Realm, and later, he even condensed his Golden Core within Green Hill.

Even though at that time Wang Chen’s Golden Core had reached the First Grade, signifying an immeasurable future, the Fox Empress could never have imagined that Wang Chen would Break the Golden Core to Condense the Nascent Soul in such a short time.

Moreover, Wang Chen’s aura was pure and solid, not at all like those inflated by rare treasures and forced cultivation.

How could the heart of the Fox Empress not be filled with awe!

Wang Chen said with a smile: "Senior, you flatter me."

Indeed, he counts as a monstrous genius, but in the countless realms, where else would there be another with such an external advantage!

The Fox Empress shook her head, her interest seemingly waning: "Tell me, what brings you here to find me?"

Thus, Wang Chen briefly explained Xiangxiang’s situation and then said: "She is alone and helpless; I ask the senior to show great mercy and offer her shelter. This junior here expresses his gratitude!"

As he spoke, he saluted the Fox Empress again.

The Fox Empress said with a wry smile: "You’re slapping my face here."

Xiangxiang is from the Fox Tribe, and here is Wang Chen, a human, asking her, the Fox Empress, to take in a Fox Monster.

It did, in a sense, seem like face-slapping.

However, the Fox Empress was very clear that Wang Chen had no intention of offending her.

Wang Chen said earnestly, "I wouldn’t dare."

"Forget it."

The Fox Empress spoke, "I am the Holy Queen of the Fox Tribe; naturally, I must protect my own people. Green Hill is vast, accommodating another member of the tribe is no issue. From now on, she shall stay here."

A weight finally lifted from Wang Chen’s heart: "Thank you."

This settled a karmic debt.

The Fox Empress looked at him and suddenly asked, "Do you intend to leave just like this?"

Wang Chen was momentarily startled: "Ah?"

The Fox Empress’s expression turned slightly unpleasant: "I assumed you came to see Jiaojiao."

Wang Chen couldn’t help but rub his nose: "Is that permissible?"

He knew that the Fox Empress before him disapproved of the relationship between himself and Jiaojiao.

After all, one was a human, the other was a monster, and Hu Jiaojiao’s identity was no ordinary one!

In fact, Wang Chen and Hu Jiaojiao had a Nascent Soul pact.

He had now advanced to the Nascent Soul, but Hu Jiaojiao surely hadn’t reached the Demon King level yet, and might not be willing to see him.

Wang Chen was very aware of how proud she was inside!

"Originally, it was not allowed."

The Fox Empress blinked and said: "But now that you have achieved Nascent Soul, it would be the best motivation for Jiaojiao. So, I’ll make an exception and allow you to meet her one more time."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chen felt the world spinning around him, and without any control, he was transported to an unknown place.

Clearly, this was the great array within Green Hill exerting its power, so he did not resist.

The next moment, Wang Chen found himself beneath a wondrously steep mountain peak.

The place was lush with green grass and wildflowers scattered everywhere. A ribbon-like waterfall fell from the mountain, flowing into a deep pool below, and beside the babbling brook stood a wooden cabin surrounded by vibrant flowers.

Wang Chen took a deep breath involuntarily.

The spiritual energy here was extremely abundant; clearly, it was a true Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, an excellent place for cultivation.

His gaze fell on the small wooden house in front of him.

Before Wang Chen could approach, the door creaked open, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman, Hu Jiaojiao herself.

The Fox Woman’s cheeks were flushed with red, her large eyes filled with tender affection yet tinged with an indescribable grievance.

At this moment, Wang Chen let go of all his worries and vexations, striding forward to take her into his embrace!

Hu Jiaojiao did not resist in the slightest.

Taking in the fragrance of the lovely woman in his arms, Wang Chen wished that time would forever remain still at this moment!

Hu Jiaojiao nestled her face against his chest, silently listening to his heartbeat.

They held each other for a long, long time.

Though no words were spoken, everything was understood without need for speech!

After who knows how long, Hu Jiaojiao gently pushed Wang Chen away and wrinkled her nose saying: "Elder Hu told me, said you brought a little fox with you."

Wang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle silently, not expecting her to be jealous. He recounted the whole story to her.

Of course, Hu Jiaojiao wasn’t truly angry, it was just the sentimentalities of a young maiden. What she truly cared about was something else: "Now you are a Nascent Soul True Immortal, but it will take me a long time to ascend to Demon King."

"I will wait for you."

Wang Chen took her back into his arms and said softly, "If love endures through time, why worry about the separation of days and nights..."

Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao felt a heart full of joy and peace.
