【Red Fox Guard: Qingying’s Reference】
"Get out, all of you!"
After Di Cangli vanished from her Demon Emperor Palace, she appeared directly in the Spirit Herb Garden.
At her command, the twenty-some beautiful women who had been patrolling the garden retreated in a panic, their faces pale. They scrambled toward the Demon Emperor Palace where Di Cangli resided, knowing full well that their mistress’s fury was now focused entirely on the herb thief. They had been patrolling day and night without finding a single trace of the intruder, and this failure was their own. If they didn't hurry to the palace to kneel and beg for mercy, heaven only knew if they would live to see another sunrise.
Once the Red Fox Guards had completely cleared out, Di Cangli released her divine sense, shrouding the entire Spirit Herb Garden. This time, even a mosquito flying in would not escape her perception.
"Little petty thief, if you've got the guts, come and steal more herbs."
"If you can manage to steal under my very nose, I'll enshrine you."
Di Cangli gritted her teeth as she spoke, her divine sense locked onto every corner of the garden. She then began to walk toward the Spirit Spring at the heart of the grounds. As she stepped into the water with her jade-like feet, the robes draped over her body slid off one by one, falling to the ground.
Submerged in the Spirit Spring, Di Cangli closed her eyes to relax and clear her mind, waiting quietly for the thief to reveal himself. This was Di Cangli—possessed of absolute confidence in her own strength. She wasn't the least bit afraid that someone might see her bathing, because someone capable of bypassing her divine sense and appearing silently within it had yet to be born. Furthermore, the moment her senses had enveloped the garden, she had confirmed that, besides herself, there was not a single sign of life.
Therefore, she had no reason to worry about the thief seeing her. Should her divine sense detect any intrusion, she could dress and subdue the offender in a split second.
Soaking in the warm Spirit Spring, Di Cangli felt the corners of her lips lift in a slight smile. *I am sitting right here in this hot spring; let’s see if you dare show your face, you little thief!*
Unfortunately, for all her calculations, Di Cangli had failed to account for one thing. In this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there truly existed such an eccentric—a master of stealth capable of traversing any barrier and evading all divine perception without a sound.
Moreover, the thief had not left the garden after his previous heists; he was hiding right there in the garden, barely a hundred meters away from her.
After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place. This was one of the thief’s core tenets. More importantly, after Mofeng had sacrificed his System, he had received a heaven-defying reward, catapulting him to new heights. He could wander in and out of the private gardens of Di Cangli—the Demon Emperor who ruled over the Land of Ten Thousand Demons—at will, snacking on the various treasures growing within.
Supreme Physique: Chaos Immortal Body: The origin of the Myriad Dao. It merges with all laws of the Great Dao, allowing for effortless comprehension of any rule—it is as if the heavens themselves are serving meals directly to your mouth. It grants immunity to all poisons, ignores restrictions, and allows for unrestricted passage through barriers. Unless witnessed with the naked eye, it masks all divine perception and tracking methods. Consuming natural treasures enhances the body and cultivation; once fully mastered, one becomes the master of the Heavenly Dao.
Trait: Undying through a Hundred Deaths. Each time one dies, they grow stronger. The more you die, the stronger you become! When pushed to the limit, one becomes immortal and eternal in a single thought.
Supreme Talent: Infinite Epiphany: Simple and crude—you can enter a state of epiphany while sleeping, eating, or drinking.
When Mofeng had sacrificed the Sacrifice System and accepted the transformation of his body, his tiny infant form had been encased in a blood-colored cocoon, leaving him in a deep slumber. Upon waking, the two supreme rewards he gained from the system appeared in his mind. Seeing the descriptions of the Chaos Immortal Body and Infinite Epiphany, Mofeng was ecstatic. It was an explosive start—maxed-out comprehension and a maxed-out physique. The only thing missing was some hardcore gear, but he was satisfied regardless.
This was a perfect start, a winning hand. The System was truly wonderful; sacrificing it had brought him great rewards.
However, as the waking Mofeng looked at his short, stubby arms and legs—he was only an infant, perhaps a year old at most—he could feel the immense energy hidden within his young body. Where he had previously been immobile, the transformation had completely remade him; he could now crawl and even walk at will. The supreme physique was nothing short of terrifying.
Mofeng discovered that his walking speed was ridiculously fast. He had thought his running was fast, but his crawling speed was even more insane—comparable to a cheetah. Furthermore, climbing trees was effortless; he could scramble up in an instant. This gave him the ability to survive in the vast, boundless forest.
Mofeng played around, testing his new body. As he crawled along, he suddenly twitched his cute, tiny nose.
"Sniff, sniff~"
"Smells so good~"
Following the intoxicating scent, Mofeng scampered along like a little rodent, scuttling toward the source. That source led him to the back garden of Di Cangli, the supreme Demon Emperor, where she cultivated her rare treasures.
Arriving at the edge of the Spirit Herb Garden, Mofeng gazed at the treasures inside, his eyes sparkling.
"Spirit herbs, so many spirit herbs!"
"Are these the legendary spirit herbs? They smell so good!"
"If I eat all of this, can I become an immortal on the spot? Even if I can't become an immortal, surely I can learn to fly!"
Looking at the herbs, Mofeng drooled, whispering to himself in pure bliss.
"Slurp~"
"Slurp~"
He quickly sucked the drool back in, wiped his mouth with his chubby, white hand, and crawled inside without another thought.
"This fruit looks delicious!"
Once inside, Mofeng spotted a tree less than two meters tall, heavy with round, red fruits. With a grin, he scrambled up the trunk in a flash.
