Qiao San had never fully withdrawn his attention from this side. As soon as the celestial fox appeared, the rogue instinctively held his breath, nearly falling victim to the dark shadow’s assault.
If the eighteen fox maidens were beautiful and seductive, then this celestial fox was absolutely enchanting beyond compare. Her near-perfect body was smooth as congealed jade, her proportions exuding an irresistible allure. Her cascading hair flowed all the way to her heels, swirling gracefully around her, skillfully concealing her modesty while occasionally revealing tantalizing glimpses of her alluring beauty.
The fox clan was indeed extraordinary. Though the celestial fox didn’t possess the same unity with heaven as the mysterious black fox, her seductive charm was equally captivating. As her beauty shone forth, even the fiercest demons paused mid-action, and even the female spirits among the enemies felt their bones soften.
“Come here… oh, good one, come closer!”
With a single beckoning finger, the celestial fox sent the enemies’ gazes into disarray. Their weapons lowered, and they unconsciously stepped closer.
“Heh, heh…” Qiao San had never imagined the fox maidens possessed such a skill. With victory seemingly within reach, the pressure in his heart eased, and his battle against the dark shadow became more relaxed and effortless.
Suddenly, a cold flash of light erupted. Blood splattered in the air, mingling with cries of agony. The celestial fox, soft as water and passionate as fire, struck with icy precision—cruel, cold, and merciless.
In an instant, the enemy lay dead or wounded, blood staining the water curtain red, finally snapping the demons back to their senses. With a snarl, they charged forward once more.
This time, the celestial fox ceased her enchantments. Her bare body trembled slightly, and with a wave of her jade-like hand, eighteen phantom arms emerged from her body. The demons facing her scrambled to defend themselves but were unable to block the incoming palm strikes. With a series of loud thuds, they were struck down by her relentless blows.
The power of eighteen fox spirits had merged into one. Once again, the celestial fox amazed Qiao San, completely changing his perception of the fox clan. Fox spirits weren’t merely tools for pleasure—they could also be a man’s trusted allies in battle.
“Boom—”
Amidst an unprecedented impact, the Fox Queen and Qiao San simultaneously exerted their strength. A water wall stretching dozens of feet collapsed with a deafening roar, splashing into the river below.
“Old Turtle, you dare challenge me too? Horned One, and you, deceitful ghost, it’s time we settle old scores together!”
As the water waves subsided, the two leading enemies emerged—none other than the Tortoise King and the Ghost King.
“Fox Queen, why must you get involved in this mess? Old Turtle advises you to stand aside. We must capture the mute girl!”
“Why?” Qiao San stepped forward, his voice low and firm, deliberately placing himself in front of Ye Nu to shield her from the demons’ terrifying gazes.
“The Ten Thousand Demon King has issued an order: capture and kill the fugitive Ye Nu! Fox Queen, Qiao San, dare you defy the command of the Ten Thousand Demon King?”
“This…” At the mention of the Ten Thousand Demon King, the Fox Queen hesitated. Without Qiao San’s influence, she would never have aided Ye Nu.
“Hell no! Don’t try to intimidate me with the Ten Thousand Demon King! I don’t buy it!”
The rogue’s specialty was being reckless and defiant. As the wild Qiao San unleashed his fury, his demonic aura flared, revealing his bared teeth like a beast more monstrous than any demon. “Old Turtle, looking to avenge your descendants? Heh—heh… I’ll make turtle soup out of you. Bet it’ll taste great.”
His piercing laughter tore through the void, ringing in the ears of the demons. Even the ancient ghost couldn’t help but shudder, fully believing in the rogue’s craving for turtle soup.
“Turtle King, let’s join forces and eliminate this brat. Watch me.”
The Ghost King suddenly released a chilling wail. As soon as the eerie sound emerged, countless ghosts rose from the earth, swelling his forces.
His horn raised high, the deceitful ghost surprisingly adopted a stance of desperate battle.
Seeing this, the Tortoise King steeled his resolve. His massive body, over a zhang in length, hovered in midair. His chest glowed, unleashing a pure blue flame from his millennia of greed, sending waves rippling through the water as aquatic demons surged forth from the surface.
Qiao San and the Fox Queen were naturally unwilling to back down. The Fox Queen’s Yuan Yuan Heaven Net floated above her head, glowing in harmony with her nine tails and the lustful crimson light.
A bird’s cry pierced the sky. A blazing red light broke through the clouds as the immortal phoenix was summoned forth. The Tai Xu Xuan Huang Armor radiated brilliant light, transforming the rogue into a war god. The celestial fox gazed at him, her eyes ablaze with admiration.
The battle was about to erupt, and the shadow of death loomed ever closer.
“Kya, kya… You are all pillars of my realm. Why must you fight amongst yourselves and give the heavenly realm cause to laugh at us?” A melodious voice, like silver bells, rang out at the final moment. Her cheerful laughter softened the tension in everyone’s hearts, dissipating the killing intent.
Petite and delicate, with a graceful posture and a jade fan in hand, smiling sweetly—it could only be the Fan Princess, whose charm was unmatched!
Though the demons of the mortal realm were naturally wild and untamed, the Fan Princess’s unique status kept them from acting recklessly.
Even the Horned Ghost King’s eyes flickered with a fleeting trace of fear. Though he was infamous for his cunning, facing the Fan Princess always reminded him that there was always someone stronger.
“Princess Fan, Ghost King and Turtle King are merely following orders to capture a fugitive.”
“Kya, kya… Ghost King and Turtle King, you’ve both worked hard. Might I handle this matter instead? I shall explain everything to my father.”
“Heh, heh… Since the Princess has spoken, let’s go, men! Princess, Old Turtle takes his leave!” The ancient tortoise demon sank into the water, his body disappearing amidst the waves, followed by his descendants.
“Gwa, gwa… Old Ghost is off too!” The Ghost King cackled, vanishing into thin air as his ghostly minions sank back into the earth.
With the Fan Princess’s arrival, the winds calmed and the clouds dispersed. Qiao San couldn’t help but be deeply captivated by the enchantress’s charm. “Your Highness, you’ve done me a great favor once again. I’m truly grateful!”
“Kya, kya… Brother Dan, you flatter me again. Didn’t we agree you’d just call me by my name? Or even ‘Shan’er’ if you prefer!”
As always, the Fan Princess teased him with ambiguous charm. After casting him a few flirtatious glances, she turned to the Fox Queen. “Sister Fox, it’s been so long. You’re still as enchanting as ever. I’m so jealous.”
