Chapter 347【Ding! Detection: Zuo Qiu has eliminated the…】
“Ugh…” Little Jiu, despite still being a bit mad, couldn’t resist the temptation when she saw the fox food before her. She cracked open her mouth and started munching away. “For the sake of the fox food, I guess I’ll cut you some slack this time.”
“Really? Thanks, Little Jiu!”
Bai Feng grinned as he gently patted her head. But, perhaps because of what he just did, when his hand touched her head—even without actually brushing her ears—her whole body shivered instinctively.
Little Jiu instinctively looked up at him, making sure he hadn’t touched her ears, then lowered her head again and kept munching on the fox food. After a moment, she stretched out her tail and tugged at his wrist. “The fox food’s finished.”
“The bag’s right there, can’t you just grab it yourself?”
Even so, Bai Feng still scooped up a handful of fox food and set it in front of her.
“Nope! That’s your punishment—you have to feed me personally!” Little Jiu snorted softly and lowered her head to continue eating.
“Alright, alright…”
Bai Feng shook his head in mild helplessness and carefully fed her another handful of fox food.
……
“Is the situation in the clan really this bad?”
You Su Rong Rong frowned slightly as she stared at the letter in her hands.
Aside from external pressures from other monsters pressuring the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, internal conflicts were constant. Recently, there was even talk of division. But honestly, that’s pretty normal. The Three Tribes of the Nine-Tails are forced to cooperate under external pressure, and each tribe has its own ideas—cooperation isn’t exactly rock solid.
Adding to that, the most potent bloodline holder, Little Jiu, is in the Northern Region and doesn’t plan to return south. So, internal tensions are even more chaotic.
You see, in the monster tribes, bloodline is everything—where Little Jiu is, that’s the true territory.
Recently, Qing Qiu has been sending some juniors to the Northern Region, and Tu Shan seems to have similar ideas, but they haven’t acted yet. Even You Su Rong Rong isn’t as steadfast as before—her letter straightforwardly tells her to stay in the Northern Region to serve Little Jiu, no matter what’s happening in the clan, she’s not to come back.
‘But I haven’t even seen Little Jiu’s face!!’
You Su Rong Rong sighed with a wry smile. At that moment, her Image Retainer beeped. She picked it up and saw it was sent by Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao: Sister You Su, I’m all set to leave for Xuan Guang City. Want to come along?
You Su Rong Rong: No, I’ll stay here for now.
Qiao Qiao: That’s what the old folks in the clan are saying, right? If you really want to see Little Jiu, I can give you a tip—go find Bai Feng. Making friends with him won’t go wrong.
You Su Rong Rong: Hmm, thanks for the tip.
Qiao Qiao: Can’t talk now—I’m heading out. See you later!
You Su Rong Rong put down her Image Retainer, inwardly mumbling—‘Making friends with Bai Feng? But how?’
Meanwhile, Qiao Qiao had already smoothly arrived in Xuan Guang City. At Yu Ling Long’s shop, she spotted someone familiar.
“Want to try the communication device? Sure thing, come over here. We have demo units for you to experience.”
Ling Lan floated in midair, dressed in a blue and white maid outfit. But her outfit was modified—her back had a pair of pure white wings extending from her clothes, and curiously, a glowing ring hovered above her head, looking just like a Spirit Tool.
“Ling Lan, how come you’re here too?”
Qiao Qiao tilted her head. After a few days apart, Ling Lan had apparently stolen her work?
No, wait. She’d been promoted to manage the Nine-Tails Fox Squad by Bai Feng—never mind.
Ling Lan gently fluttered her wings and floated next to Qiao Qiao, smiling. “Hehe, you’re right, Qiao Qiao. This city’s awesome! I’ve decided I want to stay here longer, just like you. I even brought my sisters along—should be about time for them to arrive too.”
Qiao Qiao: …
She looked closely at her friend. It was clear Ling Lan wasn’t overthinking—she was probably just drawn in by the city’s delicious food and fun stuff. Before she got bored, she probably wouldn’t leave.
But the other Silver-Winged Doves probably wouldn’t be as silly as Ling Lan. Due to their affinity for running away and poor combat skills, their position in the southern region—where survival of the fittest rules—is pretty fragile. They don’t have a stable territory, and if Bai Feng throws them an olive branch, they’d likely accept.
Thinking of that, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a bit regretful. Maybe it would’ve been better to keep Ling Lan at Heavenly Sword Sect. Now, a few more monsters are trying to snatch their jobs!
Sure, the Nine-Tails have their own edge—like fox ears and tails—but the Silver-Winged Doves have wings too. More Silver-Winged Doves mean fewer spots for Nine-Tails, possibly lowering their importance in Bai Feng’s eyes.
d*mn it, why did I have to speak up back then?!
……
“Is You Su Rong Rong still not gone?”
Bai Feng yawned outside Heavenly Sword Sect. A tiny bird landed on a branch, watching You Su Rong Rong walk back inside the sect.
Shortly after Qiao Qiao left, the other Nine-Tails also departed—except for You Su Rong Rong. But she wasn’t disturbing the sect anymore; instead, she resided in a town outside Heavenly Sword Sect. Unlike the Shang Qian Holy Land, the Nine-Tails and Heavenly Sword Sect don’t have much connection, so she wouldn’t stay inside for long.
However, she did keep in touch via communication device, seemingly trying to curry favor. But her words were… pretty awkward—mostly greetings like “Good morning,” or casual questions like “Have you eaten?”
Master, this chapter continues after this! Please click next to read more. It gets even more exciting ahead!
Bai Feng wasn’t quite sure what she was up to, so he just watched silently.
“Brother, dinner’s ready.”
Bai Yu Mo came out of the kitchen carrying food.
Bai Feng refocused his thoughts and looked at Bai Yu Mo sitting beside him. “Yu Mo, aren’t you planning to go out and train a bit?”
It wasn’t that he particularly wanted Bai Yu Mo to avoid something. Recently, Bai Yu Mo had also become reluctant to go out—she seemed to just want to protect him.
He could understand that, but if she dragged him down, it’d be bad. Besides, he didn’t want the system to think he was hindering the Luck Child’s cultivation and forcibly increase his Luck Points. He also didn’t want to hold Bai Yu Mo back just because of himself. The stronger Bai Yu Mo was, the safer he’d be.
“But if I leave, what about you?” Bai Yu Mo hesitated.
“What could possibly happen to me inside Heavenly Sword Sect?” Bai Feng said helplessly. “Plus, the sect’s been hunting the Demon Path. Destroying demon cultivators or clearing out their bases—those get us points and good rewards. You should take the chance to gather more cultivation resources.”
Bai Yu Mo nodded hesitantly. She knew the logic but still hesitated to stray too far from Bai Feng.
Just as Bai Feng was about to persuade her further, her system suddenly pinged:
【Ding! Detected: Zuo Qiu has eliminated the Luck Child Huang Qian. Host, nurturing the Luck Child and using strategies against other Luck Children is truly clever. Rewards: Luck Value +, Yin-Yang Pattern Fragment *1, Cultivation Speed-Up Buff (until Transformation God Full Stage).】
“……”
Well, cr*p!!!
