๐ Heaven Official's Blessing DR
๊ฐ Ling Zhi, the famous fox spirit ๊ฑ
" That trickster spirit... Just how does a mere spirit manage to get a following as impressive as a high ranking god ? "
I am more known by my godly name, Sheng Yu, I was once a god in heaven but their rules held me back so I willingly allowed myself to be banished to the mortal realm so I could continue watching over my followers.
That Heavenly Emperor is surely upset with me, he did ruin my greatest temple after my banishment... The fool, did he really think I would allow that just because I'm not a god anymore? I burned down fifty of his temples that night. I care not about becoming his enemy, I won't allow any harm to come to my followers.
Sheng Yu, also known as the Rainfall Fox, the most well known huli jing. It's said that before she ascended she lived as a regular fox in the kingdom of Xianle, some even say it was the crown prince Xie Lian who gave her the name Ling Zhi.
She ascended 800 years ago, only a few years after the fall of Xianle, but it's rumoured that she's even older than that. Her domains are mainly health and prosperity, each year she blesses her followers crops with rain and her capital even holds a festival each year once the rain season arrives.
Although she renounced godhood she hasn't lost any power, if anything she's gotten stronger due to her worshippers unwavering faith in their goddess. She's close with the ghost king Hua Cheng, of course to heavens dismay, and while she doesn't permit heavenly officials to enter her territory without reason she's always accepting of people seeking refuge around her temples, even if they're not her followers.
I'd never say I regret my decision to leave heaven, but even an old fox can admit when she misses certain people. Shi Qingxuan was a good friend of mine, and I miss teasing Feng Xin and Mu Qing... At least I can see Xie Lian in the mortal realm whenever I want, to think he's ascended a third time.
I heard Hua Cheng is going to look for him, I might just go with him, I could always just stay in my fox form to draw less attention to us, who knows, maybe we'll end up going on a ton of fun adventures !
