Watching it gracefully move its limbs to the dining table and leap with all its might.
However, he failed to jump onto the table and bumped his belly against the edge of the table.
"oops!"
It cried out in pain, kicked its hind legs wildly, and finally climbed onto the table.
"This little thing is so stupid," Chu Caiwei thought to herself.
"I've come to see Your Majesty," the little creature introduced itself while squatting down to eat.
"Your Majesty? Is it the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?"
"That's right!"
"Oh, then I can't eat you." Chu Caiwei pouted.
The little fox, who was sitting on the table, dropped the meatballs it had just held in its tiny paws onto the table with a thud.
"Aren't you Li Tianwang's friend? How dare you try to eat me!"
"Never mind, it's so small, it probably won't taste good."
Chu Caiwei abandoned her idea of eating the little fox and continued with her lunch.
After eating for a while, the man and the fox went into the room.
"Caiwei, have you given the magical artifacts to Ning Yan and Yuan Zhen?"
Chu Caiwei turned around and smiled, "I've given them all. They've already gone to Sanhua Temple and should be entering soon."
Li Chang'an sat down next to Chu Caiwei and saw the white fox munching on its food.
"Caiwei, did you pick this up?"
The little fox sat up and said, "You are indeed as handsome and extraordinary as Sister Ye Ji and Sister Xue Ji said."
Li Chang'an learned that this little thing was the smallest split soul of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
"Can't you transform into human form?"
"I don't know how yet," the little fox said sweetly.
It turned out to be a fox demon who was so weak he could barely stand.
After Chu Caiwei finished eating, she asked, "Little one, what's your name?"
The little fox said, "Guess what? My name is the exact opposite of Sister Ye Ji's."
"A rooster?" Chu Caiwei had a sudden flash of inspiration and felt incredibly clever.
"Yes, it's Hakuhime!"
The little fox raised its front paw and slammed it on the table, indicating that it was very angry.
"I learned from Sister Ye Ji that the Empress and King Li were together, so I rushed here day and night."
Let me tell you, I'm incredibly fast, capable of traveling thousands of miles a day. I'm also a master of stealth, making me quite useful.
The little fox stood up, hands on its hips, looking smug.
"Traveling thousands of miles a day," Chu Caiwei's eyes seemed to hold a hint of envy.
"Wow, that's fast! Can you carry people?"
The little fox was taken aback. It looked at its own small body and then at Chu Caiwei's petite figure. "Of course you can."
Chu Caiwei happily picked up the little fox, placed it on the ground, and sat on it.
The little fox was bewildered.
"Hey, don't cry, you said you could do it yourself." Chu Caiwei stroked the little fox's fur, looking apologetic.
Tears welled up in the little fox's eyes: "I'm going to tell the Queen that you bullied me, sob sob sob."
My back hurts so much, ouch, hiccup.
She has never been bullied in her entire life.
Li Chang'an took out the fragment of the Earth Book and released the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
The nine-tailed celestial fox instantly transformed and saw the adorable little creature, Shiro.
"Xiaobai, what brings you here?"
Bai Ji jumped into the arms of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, crying and complaining at the same time.
The nine-tailed celestial fox sniffed and finally smelled on Li Chang'an.
"Such a strong feminine scent..."
Li Chang'an and Luo Yuheng played together all night.
Last night was just the beginning; Luo Yuheng's emotions will only begin tonight.
"You have a dog's nose." Li Chang'an glanced at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox with disdain.
Bai Ji retorted, "Your Majesty's nose is far more sensitive than a dog's!"
Chu Caiwei looked up in astonishment, "Little Bai Ji, why are you cursing your mistress?"
Bai Ji was stunned, her bright eyes rolling innocently.
"No, no, Your Majesty's nose is much more sensitive than a dog's."
The nine-tailed celestial fox nuzzled against Li Chang'an and said, "Master, let Xiaobai come with us."
"Anyway, when she grows up... she'll be yours too..."
"Ah! Your Majesty, what did you say!" Bai Ji tried to struggle.
Li Chang'an said, "We'll talk about the future later. Now, continue talking about Buddhism."
The greatest purpose of keeping the nine-tailed celestial fox is to understand the Western Buddhist Kingdom, which is the mortal enemy of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
While massaging Bai Ji's waist, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox spoke gently, "Starting from the highest to the lowest, the most powerful in Buddhism is the Supreme Buddha, followed by the Four Great Bodhisattvas."
There are four Bodhisattvas in this era: Kalashu Bodhisattva, who wields the "Vajra Dharma Form and Acala Dharma Form"; Guangxian Bodhisattva, who wields the "Great Samsara Dharma Form and Great Compassion Dharma Form"; Dharmaraksha Bodhisattva, who wields the "Great Wisdom Dharma Form and Medicine Buddha Dharma Form"; and Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, who wields the "Practitioner Dharma Form and Colorless Lapis Lazuli Dharma Form".
"There have been nine Bodhisattvas in the history of Buddhism. There were seven five hundred years ago, five after the Jiazi Demon Extermination, and one was beheaded by the first Supervisor when Emperor Wuzong usurped the throne. Now there are only four left."
"Then there were the nine Arhats, of whom only one remains in the world: Arhat Du'e."
Once an Arhat's status is attained, it cannot be changed. Therefore, over the long course of time, many Arhats choose to be reborn and resume their Buddhist practice.
"However, Arhats are sometimes confused about the state of being in the womb, and Bodhisattvas are sometimes confused about the state of being separated from the dead. Most Arhats are lost in the cycle of reincarnation."
There were eighteen Arhats in the history of Buddhism. Some of these Arhats were reincarnated, while others died in the Jiazi Demon Extermination Ceremony.
There was originally another person who had attained the Stream-entry stage, but he was killed by Li Chang'an in Jianzhou.
"Finally, there is the Dharma Protector Vajra, and there is still only one Vajra who can save people from difficulties."
During the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Ceremony, even the third-rank Vajra was merely cannon fodder.
The other original Vajra of the Du Fan was crushed into a golden cake by Li Chang'an.
Chu Caiwei's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, and she stood there, frozen in shock, like a statue.
At its peak, it had nine Bodhisattvas, eighteen Arhats, and numerous Dharma protectors—this was simply outrageous.
She counted on her fingers, "There are four Bodhisattvas, one Arhat, and one Vajra remaining. Da Feng is fully capable of fighting them."
In the Great Feng Dynasty, there was a first-rank official, the Supervisor.
The four officials of the second rank are: Li Chang'an, Luo Yuheng, Wei Yuan, and Heng Yuan.
Three officials of the third rank: Kou Yangzhou, Zhao Shou, and Sun Xuanji
Bai Ji also perked up, "Not only can we fight, but if you include the Empress, it's an absolute crushing victory!"
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox shook her head. "You two, did you only do addition?"
"Even if Buddhism removes the missing Bodhisattva Faji, and only has three first-rank Bodhisattvas, they are still very powerful."
"If the Supervisor leaves the Great Feng territory, he can only hold off one at most. Master's combat power is extremely strong, and he can hold off one."
"The remaining Bodhisattva is enough to suppress all the second-rank Bodhisattvas."
"Therefore, the Great Feng is more than capable of protecting itself. If it wants to compete with the Buddhist sect, it needs a first-rank official to be evenly matched."
"Moreover, the number of Buddhist monks with fourth-rank combat strength is enormous."
"And there's the Grand Wizard of the Witch God Cult, Xu Pingfeng of Hidden Dragon City, and Black Lotus of the Earth Sect..."
Li Chang'an felt that the situation was still quite optimistic.
"Within six months at most, Wei Yuan consolidated the Warring States period in the Northeast, and Yuheng successfully broke through to the first rank."
"At that time, even if Qianlong City and the Buddhist Kingdom join forces, they will still be able to eliminate their extraordinary experts as well."
"Without extraordinary masters, the Buddhist Kingdom would lose its value."
Bai Ji said in a tender voice, "The two people who led the team to Sanhua Temple this time are two fourth-rank monks, with the Dharma names Jingxin and Jingyuan. Jingxin is a Zen master, and Jingyuan is a martial monk."
Li Chang'an said, "It's not a big problem. We'll just wait to collect the Pagoda."
The nine-tailed celestial fox's beautiful eyes sparkled; within the Floating Pagoda lay the remains of a divine being.
