Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Everything Has a Spirit, Except for Mosquitoes

Scarlett Jennings’ words made sense, and the village chief had no objections. He immediately agreed on behalf of the village,

"In the past, we did not know that the Great Immortal had been secretly protecting the village. We are truly ashamed. As long as the Great Immortal needs anything, the village is willing to comply with it."

This was their debt to it.

Seeing that the villagers shared the same attitude, Scarlett Jennings knew they were sincere. She glanced at the fox spirit standing not far away, thought for a moment, and said to the villagers,

"Although it has gained the fortune of heaven and earth, it is not a deity and cannot have a temple. Therefore, the Stonetemple on the mountain only needs to be offered incense, without a name plaque.

Additionally, if you wish to make amends, you can place a tablet for it in the village’s Ancestral Hall and make daily offerings. It will sense the sincerity of the village people."

After this experience, the fox spirit would no longer protect the village. In the future, they would have to rely on themselves to cultivate ginseng.

Placing a tablet for it in the Ancestral Hall would accomplish two things: it would complete the karma between it and the villagers, using Merit Power from their faith to help it regain its cultivation.

On the other hand, it would leave a bond behind for the village.

As long as the village’s Ancestral Hall continued to make offerings to its tablet, over time, it would sense the villagers’ genuine hearts.

Even if it wouldn’t protect the village as it had in the past, in the future, if the village faced any disasters or troubles, it wouldn’t stand idly by.

The village chief also did not see any issue with adding a tablet for the fox spirit in the Ancestral Hall, considering the deep ties between the Great Immortal and their ancestors. He immediately agreed without hesitation.

He even decided to have someone alter the carvings and murals in the Ancestral Hall to include the image of this fox spirit.

Scarlett Jennings also asked Scarlett Jennings’ father to find a piece of jade, which was to be offered in the Stonetemple to aid the fox spirit in its cultivation.

She planned to use the jade to set up a simple Spirit Gathering Array for it.

On her way up the mountain, she noticed that because North Mountain Village had cultivated ginseng for a long time, most of the Spiritual Energy in the mountain had been absorbed by the ginseng, leaving the mountain’s Spiritual Energy in a relatively depleted state.

Even under such conditions, the fox spirit managed to cultivate for itself with the limited Spiritual Energy, while still sharing some of it with the villagers for their ginseng cultivation...

The Spirit Gathering Array could help it gather the mountain’s Spiritual Energy again. With the nourishment of the Spiritual Energy and the villagers’ daily offerings, the time needed to restore its cultivation would be greatly reduced.

These were all the terms Scarlett Jennings had agreed upon with the fox spirit.

With both sides having reached an understanding, the fox spirit left with its offspring.

Only the live stream viewers were left utterly confused.

"I just know I missed out on a fortune!"

"That’s it? What about the process? The details? The fox spirit’s spell battle? Did the production team hide it all?"

"Was the girl just negotiating terms with the fox spirit?"

"It sounds like the villagers owe this fox spirit, can someone please explain what’s going on?"

"So frustrating, it failed at the critical moment! I’ve been waiting since early morning just to see this!"

"Why were these foxes causing trouble in the village?"

"Is this really a fox spirit? Can it speak too?"

"Stop ranting, can’t you see it was deliberate on the production team’s part? What fox spirit? I think they just got a kid to dress up as one. Who has ever seen such a big fox spirit? The production team probably cut the live stream intentionally to prevent viewers from seeing through their ruse!"

Because the key portions of the story were lost due to the interrupted live stream, the viewers harbored some resentment, and some even seized the chance to stir the pot.

Director Clark thought about it and let the guests recount that part of the storyline to the audience.

He didn’t care if they questioned whether it was scripted or otherwise.

So, on the journey down the mountain, several guests worked together to reenact the scenes where the live broadcast had been cut.

At least it managed to satisfy the restless curiosity of the live stream audience.

"Boohoo, they say the fox spirit among the Five Immortals is the hardest to get along with, but why is this one so nice?"

"He saved it once, but it didn’t just take him down the mountain; it even helped him find a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and guarded the village for seventy years for a mere offhand comment!"

"This is love, isn’t it?!"

"I’m literally crying, I will never dislike foxes again."

"All living things have a spirit, except mosquitoes."

"No way, this sounds like a scripted story by the production team, and yet so many people buy it?"

"I don’t care, even if it’s made up, I believe it now!"

"That villager who called it a fool is too hateful! You’re the fool! Your whole family is fools!"

"It just wanted to be bestowed with a title, not asking for the stars, give it to it!"

"Will the fox spirit still seek a title after restoring its cultivation? If it needs a Great Immortal, it can come to me! I’ll ensure it gets the title!"

"North Mountain Village’s villagers are really lucky. Who can refuse a fox spirit quietly protecting the villagers in the mountains?"

"I’m not from this village; can I also ask the fox spirit in the mountains for help?"

As the live stream’s comments flashed, Dashiell somehow ended up near the staff monitoring the live stream. Leaning over, he easily saw the comments.

Seeing the talk about seeking a title, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the staff’s tablet, marching straight to Scarlett Jennings, holding the screen up to her face.

"Look at this, they’re all so generous, yet you’re so stingy!"

He simply wanted someone he could nurture to seek a title for him, but she insisted on keeping people hidden.

See, everyone in the live stream room is quite willing!

Dashiell’s sudden movement took the staff by surprise.

Scarlett Jennings’ face slightly darkened at his action, and she didn’t look at the comments, only saying,

"Give the tablet back."

She paused and added, "If you disturb the staff’s work by handling their belongings again, you’ll have to leave."

Scarlett Jennings rarely wore such a serious expression, and the live stream viewers watched out of curiosity, feeling almost as if they were the ones being held up in front of Scarlett Jennings.

"Scarlett, don’t speak to him like that, he came all this way to find you, and it’s not easy for him."

Amber Livingston spoke suddenly, catching the guests by surprise.

Some might not be particularly concerned with Dashiell, but Amber had been genuinely saved last night and naturally wanted to support him.

With Amber speaking up, Ariel Zimmerman and Sebastian also joined in persuading.

Scarlett Jennings did not want to discuss these matters with Dashiell in front of the live stream and softened her tone slightly, saying they’d discuss their issues later.

Seeing Dashiell looking "pitiful," Amber Livingston simply moved over to him.

"You’re called Dashiell, right? I’m Amber Livingston. Last night and this morning were so rushed, I didn’t get the chance to thank you. Thank you for saving us last night."

Amber Livingston spoke sincerely, genuinely expressing gratitude.

But Dashiell, with a slight, strange look, eyed him and said,

"There’s no need to thank me; you weren’t saved by me."

Amber was taken aback, unsure whether his words were humble or what.

Last night, when those foxes pounced on them, the photographer and Spencer Atkins quickly fainted in fright, but only he... the foxes suddenly turned away when they came at him.

There was no one else around. If it wasn’t Dashiell who saved them, then... who could it
