"Who is Jasmine?"
Amber Livingston asked about the name.
Although it sounded a bit unfamiliar, inexplicably, it gave him a sense of familiarity.
The old lady looked at him and casually explained,
"She’s also a little fox. She was raised by my side for a while when she was young."
She paused and continued,
"When you were five, you choked on a lychee and almost died. It was she who saved you."
Amber Livingston vaguely remembered something like that happened, but he had no recollection of the little fox named Jasmine Hamilton.
"She saved me, so is she also my Immortal Family?"
The old lady couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his words, "You wish."
He couldn’t even sense one Immortal Family, yet wanted another.
"She’s a half-demon; she can’t be an Immortal Family."
Amber Livingston uttered an "oh," glanced at the old lady again, and asked her,
"Then why did you choose me as a disciple? Why did you choose me when I haven’t felt your presence all these years?"
The old lady got angry upon hearing this.
"Isn’t it because of you!"
Amber Livingston: ...
Didn’t she just say it wasn’t his fault?
Seeing his innocent face, the old lady sighed again and told him about her past connection with the Xander Family.
The old lady’s name was Elena Hamilton.
Back then, she was just an ordinary fox practicing in the mountains.
Unlike other foxes, although she was the oldest, her cultivation was the weakest.
But because her seniority was the highest in those mountains, most foxes dared not disobey her.
Like the Immortal Family earlier, before he developed any abilities, she had taken care of him for a while.
Elena Hamilton had a weak cultivation but enjoyed being close to humans.
When Xie Zhen’s father got married, he accidentally saved her from a trap in the mountains.
Since then, Elena Hamilton often went down the mountain, roaming the Xander home, and gradually, Xie Zhen’s father routinely fed her.
That’s how she formed a bond with the Xander Family.
"I watched you being born."
Elena Hamilton said,
"From when you were an infant, I guarded you until you turned five. That year, you almost choked to death but were saved by Jasmine Hamilton, signaling your destined connection with the Fox Tribe.
I revealed myself willingly and asked your parents to establish a shrine for me to take you as my disciple."
As a family guardian spirit, she would protect this child for life.
Little Xie Zhen went through the initiation ritual under his father’s guidance, but he was too young to remember it.
Afterward, Elena Hamilton stayed in the Xander Family as the family guardian spirit and, at an appropriate time, opened his spiritual meridians for Xie Zhen.
The process of opening spiritual meridians is a necessary step for every disciple under the Immortal Family.
Starting from the head, gradually opening the orifices in his body, stimulating his Spiritual Power, allowing him to sense the unseen and feel the unseen energies.
But the initial experience of this process is often painful.
When Elena Hamilton first opened Xie Zhen’s head meridian, Xie Zhen reacted intensely.
Although Xie Zhen’s parents felt sorry for him, knowing it was a necessary step, they still let him endure it.
As a result, Xie Zhen suffered for over half a year without improvement, and his parents begged her at the shrine to change disciples.
Seeing Xie Zhen’s unique situation, Elena Hamilton agreed with his parents to wait until he grew older to reopen his meridians.
That wait turned into more than twenty years.
As Xie Zhen aged, she completely lost her spiritual connection with him.
If it weren’t for Nathan White leaving behind a thorn imbued with his Spiritual Power as a guide, she couldn’t even meet him in dreams.
Later, Elena Hamilton also considered the reasons.
