Hexi recalled Xiao Li's ability to communicate with animals and guessed that these insects and ants came to avenge her (Xiao Li).
It was just that, these ants and insects were ordinary creatures. They couldn't penetrate a martial artist's spiritual energy barrier, so when Xiao Li was skinned in front of them, they were powerless to do anything. All along, they waited as Hexi completely destroyed these two people before they dared to come out and cleanly gnaw and bite through these men.
Hexi first poured the bone water on the two people's skeletons, ensuring that they would disappear without a trace from this world, before she went back to Xiao Li's side.
By now, Xiao Li's circumstances weren't too optimistic. Although her vitality wasn't completely exhausted, her body's enchanted force was almost entirely used up.
With this sort of circumstances, even if she was able to survive, she would become an ordinary fox without any spiritual wisdom. She (Xiao Li) would never again be able to become her (Hexi's) Xiao Li.
Furthermore, the most troublesome issue was the fur that had been skinned off.
The skin of people and fur of animals was a form of protection for oneself. In the case that fur or skin left the body, it would lose all vitality and there wouldn't be anyway to join it together with the body. This was completely different from a broken hand or foot.
And without her fur, even if Xiao Li recovered her enchanted force, sooner or later, she would die. After all, there was many harmful bacteria that couldn't be seen, floating around in the air. Even if one's enchanted power was outstanding, it wouldn't be able to continuously fight against infection.
In a flash, Dandan and the Little Dragon already appeared by Hexi's side.
Dandan cried and threw himself at Xiao Li's body, only to be pulled back by Hexi.
The small fellow cried so much his eyes were completely red. Choked with emotion, he said, "Mother, what's wrong with Xiao Li jiejie [1]? Will she die?"
Although he once thought about eating this nine-tailed fox, after associating with her, Dandan was already fond of this xiao [2] jiejie.
When he thought about her miserable state and the possibility of her dying, Dandan cried until he didn't even know who he was.
Contrary to one might think, the Little Golden Dragon wasn't concerned over the little fox's life or death. It was just that, the Golden Dragon and the nine-tailed fox were spiritual beasts that all of mankind yearned for. Their entire body was precious and longed after by people. If one appeared in front of people when they were still an infant, it was very likely that they would be skinned and their bones would be torn apart.
Looking at the state that the little fox was in now, the Little Golden Dragon nevertheless felt a heavy feeling and hurt for her (Xiao Li).
In addition, Dandan was still crying so broken-heartedly, causing him (the Little Golden Dragon) to feel even more despondent. He didn't want to see Dandan, that fellow, crying.
But, the little fox's whole body had been stripped of skin and her body's enchanted force was almost entirely drained. He (the Little Golden Dragon) was afraid that even if the previous master of Zijin Palace reincarnated, he (the previous master) wouldn't be able to save the little fox's life.
Ai, the human race was truly avaricious and repulsive. Although they already captured the little fox, they still wanted to skin her. They were no better than beasts!
Dandan was still crying while he embraced Hexi's neck. "Mother, I don't want Xiao Li jiejie to die. You save her, okay?"
At this moment, Hexi's gaze rested on the substance that the insects and ants spit out. As she looked, the suspicion in her eyes slowly turned into surprise.
Hearing Dandan's words, she immediately replied, "Rest assured, I'll definitely save Xiao Li!"
Nobody could take away Xiao Li's life. These bastards can't and neither can Yama!
After she said this, the speed of Hexi's hands increased.
She swiftly took out all kinds of tools from her space. Afterwards, she used spiritual power to wrap up Xiao Li and place her inside a bucket full of spiritual spring water. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.
Upon entering the spiritual spring water, Xiao Li let out pained cries and her entire body ceaselessly trembled.
Without any fur protecting her, even if she touched the purest spiritual spring water, it would still cause her to feel so grieved she would wish she was dead.
