A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 612: Silver Moon Wolf Clan

“Hmph! What do you mean 'woman'? Are you trying to say I’m female?” The woman’s voice was cold and clear.

Han Li couldn’t help but smile bitterly upon hearing this. He retracted the flying sword circling above his head and then spoke leisurely, “Whether you’re male or female, you should at least tell me your background.”

“My background? Aren’t I the artifact spirit of the ancient treasure in your hand?” The white fox half-crouched down, looking at Han Li with calm eyes.

“Of course I know you’re an artifact spirit. But I’ve never heard of an artifact spirit capable of body-snatching,” Han Li frowned, his voice turning cold.

“That just shows how ignorant you are. Am I not an example?” The white fox seemed to sneer, speaking carelessly.

Han Li fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

But soon after, he suddenly raised the Jade Ruyi Scepter in his hand and looked it over carefully.

“What are you trying to do?” The white fox’s eyes shot out a wary light as she looked coldly at Han Li.

“It’s nothing. I’m just curious. Since you’ve already successfully body-snatched this demonic fox body, this Jade Ruyi Scepter is probably useless now. But what if I shatter it? I wonder what would happen,” Han Li sighed and said calmly.

At these words, the white fox’s expression changed drastically. She stared fiercely at Han Li, but after a moment, she seemed to remember something and her aura suddenly vanished.

“You don’t need to test me. Indeed, if you destroy this Jade Ruyi Scepter, my artifact spirit body will naturally disappear as well. After all, as an artifact spirit, I have become one with this Ruyi,” the white fox said lightly.

Then a flash of silver light appeared on her body, and a massive aura descended upon her.

Han Li’s heart tightened, and a wary expression appeared on his face.

“Don’t worry. It’s just inconvenient to talk to you using a beast’s body. Now I’m taking human form,” the white fox said coldly after shooting Han Li a glance.

Han Li was stunned for a moment and then felt slightly relieved.

At that moment, the white fox’s body emitted dazzling silver blades. Han Li instinctively took two steps back.

Within the silver glow, the white fox flipped over and quickly transformed into an alluring naked young woman. When she stood up, Han Li noticed that apart from her eyes losing their green glow and becoming clear black pupils, her face was exactly the same as before the body-snatching.

It seemed that once a demonic beast’s human form is fixed, it cannot be changed.

While Han Li was pondering this, the young woman instinctively covered her vital parts with her hands. After hesitating, she spoke somewhat shyly:

“Do you have any clothes, fellow cultivator? I’m not used to being like this.”

After saying this, she revealed a trace of embarrassment on her beautiful face.

Han Li was slightly taken aback.

Without a word, he took a spare garment from his storage pouch and tossed it to her.

“Thank you, fellow cultivator!” The young woman whispered her thanks, lifting her jade-like hand to gently drape the garment over herself, covering most of her nakedness.

Han Li’s expression changed subtly. Every move of this woman was filled with an indescribable elegance, even more refined and gentle than most noble ladies. It was hard to believe that she had once been a silver wolf demonic body.

After putting on the clothes gracefully, the young woman slowly raised her face and said softly to Han Li:

“You may call me Silver Moon. As for my background, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I can’t quite remember. You probably know that once a demon’s soul is refined into an artifact spirit, its consciousness should be completely lost, obediently controlled by the artifact’s owner. But for some reason, since I gained awareness, I vaguely remember some events from my past life. Although very little, it’s enough to give me some autonomy. I faintly recall that I belonged to the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. That’s why I gave myself the name ‘Silver Moon.’ As for what I was originally called, I just can’t recall.” As she spoke, the young woman walked a few elegant steps, seemingly adapting slowly to her new body.
