Chapter 90: Hu Xiaoxian

Chapter 90: Hu Xiaoxian

Ling Yi had lines of black on his forehead as he looked at the girl. “What are you here for?”

The girl immediately grinned playfully. “I’m here to… hehehe, guess?”

Guess your head!

Ling Yi calmly looked at her. “I’m not guessing.”

The girl laughed. “Then I’ll tell you. I’m here to…”

As she spoke, she stretched out her arms, curled her small hands into claw shapes, put on a fierce little face, and pretended to pounce toward Ling Yi.

“Kill you!”

Ling Yi did not react.

The girl giggled. “Hey, aren’t you afraid?”

“…”

“I have reached Dao Enlightenment!”

The girl slightly raised her two pretty eyebrows. “I’ve killed countless people, my hands are stained with blood. I’m extremely fierce! Aren’t you scared?”

“…”

“Heehee, scared now, right? If you’re scared, call me ‘older sister’ and admit you were wrong. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you go.”

“Older sister, I was wrong. It’s late at night, please take back your Divine Ability and go home.” Ling Yi said without hesitation.

The girl blinked her big eyes, looking at Ling Yi. “You admitted it just like that?”

“Yes, you’re so powerful. If I don’t admit it, I’m afraid you’ll kill me.” Ling Yi said.

“Oh, you’re so good-looking. Who would have the heart to kill you?” The girl puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat unhappy. “Why didn’t my senior sister take you as her disciple? What a clueless Fox Spirit, so blind!”

Then, the girl’s eyes shifted as she looked at Ling Yi. “How about this, why don’t you become my disciple?”

“Hmph, wishful thinking!”

The enchantress sneered coldly in Ling Yi’s mind.

Ling Yi shook his head. “No.”

“Why?” The girl stared at Ling Yi. “I am a Fox Spirit! I have great Divine Abilities, and I’m also good-looking. Don’t let my cuteness fool you, let me tell you, I am very fierce! And I’m especially protective of those close to me! If you become my disciple, whoever dares to bully you, I’ll beat them up for you!”

“Is your Demi-Human Race… planning to enter the mortal world?” Ling Yi suddenly asked.

“Why do you ask?” The girl, acting very familiar, plopped down on a chair, crossed her legs, swinging them slightly. Her big eyes rolled around as she stared at Ling Yi.

“As far as I know, your Demi-Human Race usually only appears in the Chaos Zone, rarely in the cities of the Seven Nations,” Ling Yi looked at her. “Now, not only have you taken human disciples, but you’ve also started appearing openly within the Seven Nations. If not to truly integrate into this world, then for what reason?”

“You’re very smart.” The girl smiled. “If that’s the case, what’s your attitude about it?”

Ling Yi glanced at her. “None of my business. I’m just a nobody.”

“Of course it’s your business. You’re not a nobody,” the girl looked at him. “You are an elite among humans. Your viewpoint can represent the attitude of many people.”

“I don’t care either way. Whether human or Demi-Human, as long as they don’t harm others, they are fine; those who constantly think about how to hurt others, how to benefit themselves at others’ expense… then whether human or Demi-Human, they are not good people.” Ling Yi said.

The girl clapped her hands. “Heehee, said so well! You’re really a good person!”

After speaking, she stood up and looked at Ling Yi. “My name is Hu Xiaoxian. Remember my name. Someday if you encounter other Fox Spirits causing trouble for you, just tell them my name!”

“Aren’t you going to avenge your disciple?” Ling Yi asked, looking at her.

“How could that trash be my disciple?”

The girl widened her eyes. “Only my silly senior sister would take him as a disciple. I wouldn’t give him a second glance. I just came to see what kind of person this little brother who dared to publicly chop off a Golden Body’s head is like. Now I’ve seen him, it’s fine, goodbye.”

Silly?

Whoosh.

After the enchantress finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared from the room.

“She knows what’s good for her!”

The enchantress snorted in Ling Yi’s mind.

At Baihua Lane.

Hu Xiaoxian looked up at the sky, her delicate little face full of seriousness. She patted her small chest with her little hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

She whispered to herself, “Oh my, scared this baby to death!”

Her earlier judgment was indeed correct. This person’s real reliance was not that mysterious Sect woman at all!

He had another reliance!

It was a pity that even after testing for so long, she couldn’t find where the other party was hiding.

But she had a strong intuition that if she had attacked Ling Yi just now, she would have died very miserably.

Even more miserably than being skinned and nailed to a wall!

When she went back, she still had to warn that petty fool You Baofeng. He absolutely must not seek death again!

Before the great calamity arrived, the Fox Clan just wanted to have a piece of pure land of their own in the mortal world.

They just wanted to walk openly among the crowd. The Fox Clan also feared the Beast Tide. The Fox Clan was not the enemy of humanity!

It’s just that it seemed her senior sister’s choice this time might end in tragedy, just like before.

As a clever Fox Spirit, why was she so blind every time?

Hu Xiaoxian muttered in her heart and quickly disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, Qin Jiuyue woke up to find herself lying on an unfamiliar bed.

The room was very dark. Thick curtains perfectly blocked the outside light. If she hadn’t checked her phone, she would never have believed it was nine in the morning.

Glancing at her neat clothes, Qin Jiuyue felt a bit happy, but also somewhat disappointed.

Daring to get drunk and relax in front of someone meant she had no defenses against that person.

This was also an unspoken understanding between adults… hmm.

So what happened?

Did the other party not get it?

Or did she not hint enough?

Yes, she somewhat liked Ling Yi.

They said that when a girl chased a boy, it was like only a veil separated them. Qin Jiuyue was quite confident in her charm.

Maybe it started from their first meeting, or perhaps from their shared experiences later in the Capital City… she had unknowingly developed fond feelings for Ling Yi.

Excellent women were pursued by many men, and excellent men were also admired by many women.

Originally, she thought she could enter the Moon Gazing Sect together with Ling Yi. Being fellow disciples in the future, they would have plenty of time to spend day and night together.

But she never expected Ling Yi to flatly refuse the Moon Gazing Sect.

Although he was very polite, his attitude was firm.

She didn’t know the Moon Gazing Sect particularly well, but she knew that for such a major Sect that didn’t even care much about secular royal authority, after being rejected when trying to take a disciple, it was almost impossible for them to extend a second invitation.

After all, they had their pride to consider.

Unless the person invited was exceptionally, uniquely outstanding throughout history, could a super Sect possibly disregard face and pursue them madly.

But this… was almost impossible.

Ling Yi was excellent, but the Moon Gazing Sect didn’t lack geniuses either.

The invitation failed, and she was about to leave anyway, so she steeled her heart, thinking it wouldn’t be bad to leave a beautiful memory before entering the Sect.

At least it wouldn’t be a waste of her more than twenty years of youth.

After all, it was really hard to meet a man who made her heart flutter!

But in the end… she still failed.

A few faces suddenly appeared in Qin Jiuyue’s mind.

The stunning woman from the Sect by Ling Yi’s side, and his unrelated sister, Su Qingqing.

And also…

That beautiful woman, Luo Xue, who passionately defended Ling Yi at the press conference, and at the Graduation Ceremony, without caring about shocking the world, personally placed the bachelor’s cap on his head…

Thinking of this, Qin Jiuyue couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

There were too many rivals.

Good men were also a scarce resource that everyone wanted to have.

So maybe I’m just not worthy?

The pitiful young lady humbly took a shower. Since there were no spare clothes to change into, she could only put on yesterday’s clothes again and stepped out of the room.

After looking around and not seeing Ling Yi, she noticed a breakfast and a note left for her on the table—

“I have some business to take care of. That person most likely won’t come looking for you again. Please wash the dishes after you finish eating, thank you.”

Qin Jiuyue felt speechless.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, she couldn’t help but feel happy again.

At least he was thoughtful enough to prepare breakfast for me!

After eating, Qin Jiuyue, who had almost never cooked before, clumsily washed the dishes and placed them there.

After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and called her assistant: “Send ten cases of the wine I usually drink to 156 Baihua Lane. Yes, ten cases. It’s fine, I might not need to drink it much longer anyway.”

Not long after hanging up, someone drove over directly and carried ten cases of wine inside, placing them in the room where Qin Jiuyue had stayed the previous night.

Hey, does this count as claiming a territory?

Qin Jiuyue smiled, stood up, and went out. After closing the room door and the courtyard gate, she glanced back. Getting the key to this place was probably a bit difficult, but you wouldn’t refuse if I come here to drink, right?

When she reached the entrance of Baihua Lane, Qin Jiuyue saw You Baofeng standing there, looking disheveled and ashamed, and immediately frowned.

When You Baofeng saw that Qin Jiuyue really came out of the lane, his heart couldn’t help but churn again.

She actually spent the night here!

She actually slept here for a whole night!

He was extremely jealous, but as soon as he remembered the stern warning from his sharp-tongued Uncle-Master, the endless rage that had just surged up was instantly doused like a bucket of cold water.

He didn’t understand why, after returning, Uncle-Master suddenly forbade him from causing trouble for Ling Yi and even forced him, a wounded person, to come and apologize.

Wasn’t Ling Yi just a lucky Pretty Boy, like himself, who managed to cling to a Sect woman’s favor?

Ugh… no, I’m not like him. I rely on my own excellence!

Killing Zhao Tianping, slaying Sun Qingbo… if his sharp-tongued Uncle-Master were by his side, he could do it too!

What was so boastworthy about that?

Was it really that frightening?

But there was no reasoning to be found.

Without his Uncle-Master’s protection, all his affairs in the mortal world would be difficult to carry out.

The Fox Clan tried to use their Jiangshui You Family to realize their desire to enter the mortal world, and the You Family also wanted to use the Fox Clan’s powerful resources to expand new businesses.

So, whether in terms of fighting ability or family interests… he couldn’t afford to offend his stunning but super sharp-tongued Uncle-Master.

To the point that someone as self-styled as him had never dared to harbor any improper thoughts toward this gorgeous Uncle-Master…

“Are you not done yet?” Without Ling Yi by her side, Qin Jiuyue fearlessly released her powerful aura, coldly watching You Baofeng like an iceberg.

Was entering the Sect so amazing? I’m going to enter a Sect too, but am I boasting about it?

“Jiuyue…” You Baofeng sighed. “I came to apologize to you, and to Young Master Ling… after all, we’ve been friends for many years. I hope you can forgive me, and I hope you can help pass a message to Young Master Ling. I hope he won’t hold a grudge against someone as insignificant as me…”

You Baofeng’s tone was very sincere, with no trace of pretense.

Knowing him well, Qin Jiuyue was very puzzled. Was this the You Baofeng she knew?

Someone so ruthless that he could kill a person and burn them to ashes over a bit of jealousy in his heart… would such a scumbag willingly apologize?

Perhaps… was there something she didn’t know that happened last night?

Or did the Moon Gazing Sect intervene?

This thought only flashed through Qin Jiuyue’s mind before she dismissed it.

The Moon Gazing Sect stayed away from the mortal world, and currently had no disciples in Spring City, so it couldn’t be them.

Then it could only be Ling Yi.

He really was unfathomable!

Thinking this, Qin Jiuyue glanced at You Baofeng and said calmly, “There’s no need to apologize. From now on, we’ll be in different worlds, and we probably won’t meet again. Also…”

Qin Jiuyue looked deeply at You Baofeng. “Although Wei Bo Lin deserved to die, he shouldn’t have died by your hands. If he’s still alive, I hope you’ll let him go. I just don’t want to see him again. Since you didn’t kill him back then, it means his life wasn’t meant to end. If he’s already dead, please give his family some money. After all, his family did nothing wrong.”

After saying this, Qin Jiuyue walked away calmly.

In this mortal world, apart from her parents and family, there was almost nothing left to hold her back.
