Chapter 838: The Captured Fox

Chapter 838: The Captured Fox

These Fox People bore some resemblance to Ruo’er, with their bright big eyes, fluffy large ears, and tails, but their fur was brown and certainly not as beautiful as Ruo’er’s snow-white fur.

It’s quite normal for people from the Eastern Nation to have a preference for white-haired foxes.

Previously in Ru Yu Village, there was a fellow called Huānónɡ Brothers, who raised a bunch of bamboo rats, particularly fond of one white-furred bamboo rat, also known as Elizabeth Rat.

Moreover, their fur was quite messy, lacking the smoothness of Ruo’er’s.

Counting up, there were about four of them, both male and female, easily distinguishable by their features.

These unexpected Fox People were gnashing their teeth at Lin Nuo and the others, much like wild dogs that hiss at humans, showing clear hostility.

Lin Nuo thought, “Why don’t you see whose territory this is before being so arrogant?”

“Luo Yi, you’re up. This is the perfect time for a line like ‘Bold demon spawn, Great威天龙!'”

“Lin the Knight, they seem to be quite scared of us,” Luo Xiaoxue said.

“Maybe they’re scared of you,” Lin Nuo quipped.

“Me? Why would they be scared of me?”

Luo Xiaoxue appeared confused, and at that moment, Lin Nuo certainly wouldn’t say it was because she was a Great威天龙 and they were demons.

After hissing and gnashing their teeth at Lin Nuo for a moment, they turned tail and ran into the mountains.

“Do they live there?”

“Maybe, but it’s none of my business.”

Lin Nuo finally let go, no longer holding onto Luo Xiaoxue.

“Alright, you can let go now. Let’s speak normally without hugging.”

“Mm…”

Luo Xiaoxue also released her grip, having held onto him for a while—it was enough.

“How did you end up here, Lin the Knight?”

“Traveling.”

Lin Nuo casually threw out a response; otherwise, would he tell her he was here for the Black Market?

“Hmm… traveling, huh… Well, Lin the Knight must have great taste to tour around the countries.”

Luo Xiaoxue thought to herself, since Lin the Knight came to this place, he must care about their encounter and came here deliberately.

And then she just happened to bump into him—what a stroke of fate.

“Lin the Knight, there’s something I want to consult you about.”

“Speak.”

“Now, the East Wei has set their sights on me. They sent messengers claiming my parents are gravely ill and want me to go see them. Do you think it’s a trap, or is it real?”

“How could that possibly be true? Just use your brain; it’s impossible. Your parents are gravely ill, and they come to notify you? Are they foolish? Do you not know your position versus theirs? Do you think East Wei is so kind-hearted as to inform you?”

Lin Nuo said in an exasperated tone, as if disappointed by the lack of understanding from this sycophant.

“Hmm… In Lin the Knight’s eyes, my and my parents’ status indeed seems trivial…”

Lin the Knight is indeed Lin the Knight, straightforward and direct, but he wasn’t wrong—he certainly didn’t care about royal relatives.

“So what does Lin Nuo the Knight think? Should I go?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t you go? Why are you shrinking back from them?”

“Ah, isn’t that a trap?” Luo Xiaoxue was directly confused.

“It is a trap, but can you avoid going? What’s your family’s status? East Wei could kill your family off with a snap of their fingers. If you don’t go, what do you think will happen?”

“Hmm… They shouldn’t act against my parents…”

“Well then don’t go. Let’s see if they’ll act; let me tell you, you must confront them head-on. You shouldn’t cower before them. Don’t you have a bunch of royal guards now? Just go in and strike.”

Lin Nuo fanned the flames, thinking, “What a great opportunity! If both sides start fighting, won’t this Great Han Nation be thrown into chaos?”

Fantastic, fantastic, the show is about to get good!

Plus, with Luo Yi’s Great威天龙 defense technique being so strong, it’s like she’s charging into battle, wondering if East Wei has the ability to take her down.

“Hmm… is it possible? Can our strength defeat them?”

“Definitely. Let me ask you: do you not have the ambition to control this world?”

“Hmm, I do.”

“Then that’s great! East Wei is your biggest roadblock right now. If you eliminate them, you win, and the world will be yours to control in the future.”

Lin Nuo continued to guide Luo Xiaoxue mentally, igniting her ambition; even a sycophant could have a chance to make a name for themselves.

With Lin Nuo saying that, Luo Xiaoxue instantly became exhilarated, her blood burning with passion.

If Lin the Knight thinks so, does that mean I can surely control the future and bring peace to the Great Han Nation?

Yes, absolutely.

Then let’s fight, it’s bound to succeed!

“Where do you think you’re running to? You still want to run?”

Suddenly, a voice came from where the Fox People had just fled, and some individuals came down from the mountain. Lin Nuo and Luo Xiaoxue saw those fox clan members from before, all shackled and at the mercy of others, being dragged away.

These people seemed quite mixed, including soldiers, East Wei members, and those from the Heavenly Reverence Sect, which was the religion supported by East Wei.

The Fox People were helpless, being taken away as if they had committed some heinous crime.

They showed no signs of vitality, their eyes filled with despair.

“Lin the Knight, what are they trying to do?”

“Why do you care? They’re not here to catch you.”

Lin Nuo responded carelessly, but that crow’s mouth proved effective; just then, a group of people moved in, encountering the ones leading the captured Fox People.

The leader of this new group was Wu Zhe, a man from East Wei. After a brief discussion, their focus shifted toward Lin Nuo and company.

“That’s the princess, and the one who caused a ruckus at the Black Market and stole a batch of goods. Their whereabouts have been confirmed. You three, keep an eye on these Fox People and escort them away. The rest, follow me to catch them.”

Wu Zhe and his crew advanced aggressively, intending to surround Lin Nuo and Luo Xiaoxue, aiming to net them all in one go.

“Lin the Knight, they seem to be coming this way.”

“I see.”

“Should we run?”

“I’m not running; you can run if you want.” Lin Nuo said lightly.

“Mm… then I won’t run either…”

Luo Xiaoxue brandished her long sword, preparing for battle, just as that group surrounded Lin Nuo and herself.

“You all should just come with us if you don’t want to get hurt or die. You can’t escape.”

Wu Zhe shouted at Lin Nuo and the others, but Lin Nuo remained unfazed. He casually lifted the “Demon Sword” and tossed it into the air, instantly transforming it into countless swords that rained down like meteors, aiming right at them.

Wu Zhe and his crew were left dumbfounded as the swords descended at lightning speed; they immediately did their utmost to defend.

Yet it was futile. This wave of attacks was absolutely overwhelming, and under such absolute suppression, they were left with no way to resist.

They were wiped out—barely a drop of blood spilled, each blow fatal.
