Chapter 59: If You Have the Guts, Fight This Fox Spirit One-on-One!

"So you're itching for a fight, Big Sister Snake Emperor?" Ming Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead as she looked at Ji Yan's ferocious expression. "If that's how it is... then come on and try your best!"

What?!

Seeing Ming Xi's profound confidence, Ji Yan was stunned for a few seconds.

How could she be so confident? She was clearly nothing more than a good-for-nothing who couldn't practice cultivation...

Could it be... could it be that this wretch swallowed the primordial core and has already fused with it?

Ji Yan flicked her fork-like tongue, holding her breath as she stared intently at Ming Xi, faintly sensing an unfathomable wave of mystical energy radiating from her!

...This only confirmed her suspicion!

"Mommy, aren't we going to run? If we don't run, that bad lady is going to eat us!" Little Tong tightly hugged Ming Xi's waist, hiding behind her and speaking with timid fright.

"Run? Why should we run? Tell Mommy honestly, my adorable little boy, did this bad lady bully you just now?" Ming Xi lowered her head, looking ready to stand up for Little Tong.

"Yes! This bad lady is so hateful, she kept saying she was going to send Little Tong to the netherworld!" Little Tong said, feeling deeply wronged. "The netherworld must be a terrifying place, Little Tong doesn't want to go!"

"Relax, relax. With Mommy here, nobody dares send you to a place like that, but as for..." Ming Xi said, turning her head to shoot Ji Yan a mischievous, wicked grin, "whether this bad lady ends up in a place like that is hard to say~"

"You... how audacious!" Ji Yan was thoroughly infuriated by her words, the mystical energy within her surging violently. "What is there to be arrogant about after recovering your power through such underhanded means? Since you are courting death with such utter foolishness, don't blame this Snake Emperor for being merciless!"

With that, Ji Yan circulated the mystical energy throughout her body. Ming Xi signaled for Little Tong to step back. Little Tong remained somewhat bewildered—what was Mommy doing now? She was actually going to challenge this bad lady!

Yet he had no choice but to retreat to the side. Seeing the powerful force swirling in the bad lady's palms, he watched as she struck directly toward Ming Xi without another word!

"Mommy, watch out!"

"Relax, my boy, just leave it to me!" Ming Xi hastily cast a defensive spell, an arrogant smirk curving her lips as she chanted an unknown incantation. The very next second, a silvery-white spear materialized before her eyes.

This was Chiming! Chiming, the weapon Ming Xi had desired to forge a pact with above all else in life, yet had constantly delayed for Little Tong's sake!

An inexplicable sorrow welled up in Ming Xi's heart as she resolutely thrust the key into Chiming's core. The spear instantly emitted a blinding, brilliant radiance! In the dark cavern, the light was fiercely piercing, blazing like the midday sun!

Amidst the dazzling brilliance, Ming Xi joyfully realized—from this moment on, she was the official master of Chiming. Henceforth, Chiming would not merely be her weapon; relying on Chiming, she could comfortably swagger through the Beast Clan, living off free food and drink while swindling all sorts of wealth and jewels alongside her adorable little son...

Ugh... Goodness gracious, where was her mind wandering?! If Ming Xi knew about this, she would surely scold her for being a frivolous little fox again.

Seeing Ming Xi actually wielding Chiming in earnest, Little Tong widened his little mouth in utter shock. "Mommy, have you recovered your powers?"

"Of course! Didn't Mommy just say so? With the aid of the primordial core, those two cheap snakes that bullied us will have no choice but to kneel and kowtow to us! My adorable little boy, just sit back and enjoy the show!"

"Yay! Mommy is the best!"

Clutching Chiming, Ming Xi suddenly felt a continuous, surging torrent of power welling up inside her. This sensation... felt both familiar yet entirely alien...

It was familiar because the feeling closely resembled the cultivation power she had spent five centuries acquiring;

It was alien because, despite the similarity, this power was referred to here as mystical energy, a force she had never touched before and had no idea how to cultivate...

Regardless, she didn't care to dwell on such trivialities! Recovering her power was the absolute truth!

She had finally waited for the moment her powers were restored... Finally waited for the day she could turn the tables!

"Ji Yan, unleash whatever tricks you have left! You shall be the very first sacrifice offered to my restored powers!"
