Chapter 38: Guardian Spirit
「Squeak squeak squeak… squeak squeak squeak squeak…」
The little fox made strange noises. Following the sound, Gu Shiyi walked into the backyard.
The butler’s expression tightened, but Liu Xu waved her hand, signaling that it was fine.
Arriving in the backyard, the little fox was lying under a pine tree. Beneath the tree crouched a woman, reaching out her hand to stroke the little fox’s head.
The pine tree was not tall, its leaves sharp and tender green. Hanging from the tree were several long talismans, the two yellow ones being the most striking.
One read: Named by Master Xuanyin Jiazi on the twenty-eighth day of the sixth month, Liu Qing.
The other yellow talisman read: By Imperial Edict of Master Xuanyin Jiazi.
In front of the tree stood an exquisite incense table, arranged with various fruits and incense burning continuously.
The woman picked up the little fox and stood up. “It says you are fierce.”
Gu Shiyi looked at the little fox. The woman suddenly smiled again. “But it also says you are very good.”
“Are you the Guardian Spirit of the Liu Clan?”
Powerful families and factions would raise spirits to suppress evil influences and gather good fortune.
Not only that, but a Guardian Spirit itself possessed powerful combat capabilities and various miraculous methods.
Some families with overwhelming fortune could even confer godhood upon spirits.
At that point, the Guardian Spirit could detach from the family and fight from afar.
