Arc 13: Wild Beast Plains | Chapter 224: Father and Daughter

Translator: Lynn


Jiuxuan Meihu extended his tongue, licking his lips, and in an instant, his eyes were veiled with a layer of blood mist. He remarked, “Good boy, even though you’ve been bestowed a golden core, as a father, I’m not that easy to bully.”


As Hu Xue’er was forcibly kicked into the wall and attempted to rebound, this time, however, it failed to reach Jiuxuan Meihu. Instead, Xu Ziqing caught and restrained it.


Frowning, Xu Ziqing questioned, “What’s going on?”


He speculated, “Could it be that Xue’er wants to avenge her mother?”


Jiuxuan Meihu chuckled, casting a covetous glance at Hu Xue’er. “The body of Sky Fox is a significant tonic, but it’s a pity it escaped. Now that it’s returned, why not give it to me? I’m willing to offer something valuable in exchange.” His gaze held a glint of greed.


Hearing this, Xu Ziqing was bewildered. Sensing something amiss, he placed a hand on top of Hu Xueer’s head, delving into its consciousness for a glimpse. Although it was a pet that recognized its owner through a blood pact, providing limited communication, this method offered some insight.


To his astonishment, in Hu Xue’er’s mind, aside from an unexpected closeness to Xu Ziqing, all it harbored was an insatiable appetite, fixated solely on Jiuxuan Meihu’s heart, yearning to tear it out and devour it alive!


Contrary to what he heard earlier, these two foxes, seemingly father and daughter, were actually bitter enemies, set on killing each other. Was it a peculiarity of beasts to drive father and daughter to such extremes? Or was there an undisclosed mystery?


Puzzled and burdened with many questions, Xu Ziqing observed Jiuxuan Meihu once again. To his surprise, the Fox King’s eyes were slightly closed, radiating an intense desire for gluttony. Presumably, it was a ruse to gain Xu Ziqing’s trust. After a while, Meihu began narrating the whole story.


It turned out that Jiuxuan Meihu was indeed confined by the Panshan Beast King, but the fox’s charm was unrestrained. Resistant to being a mere pawn, he took advantage of the Beast King’s imprisonment by establishing a connection with the outside world through those who served him.


When it came to attending to the Fox King, if a man were to serve him, the Demon King would surely disapprove. If it was an ordinary female demon, trust issues would arise. Hence, the Demon King sent his personal concubine, the last being Mrs. Hu Mei.


The Panshan Demon King treated Jiuxuan Meihu well, not only sending Mrs. Hu Mei but also placing a core ban on the Fox King to ensure he didn’t endure undue suffering.


However, Jiuxuan Meihu’s exceptional charm, especially towards those of the same clan, led to his manipulation of Hu Mei. Before he could enact his plans, she became infatuated and devoted to him.


This revelation left Xu Ziqing with mixed emotions, and he sensed his brother’s readiness to strike. He comforted him by lightly squeezing his brother’s palm.


Yun Lie paused briefly but remained silent. The tension in the air gradually subsided.


At this juncture, it wasn’t the right time to act, and Jiuxuan Meihu’s narrative had some validity.


The fox family was vast, comprising various species at the pinnacle, including Sky Fox and Jiuxuan Meihu.


Jiuxuan Meihu belonged to the most lascivious species, while Sky Fox was the purest. The two, despite being of the same clan, were natural enemies, each serving as a counterbalance to the other.


The Jiuxuan Meihu and the ordinary fox family, producing the sky fox, showcased extreme opposition. This mutual restraint and nourishment enhanced their respective qualities.


Therefore, if Sky Fox could consume Jiuxuan Meihu’s heart, his aptitude, potential, and level would experience substantial growth. For an infant, it would expedite its transition to adulthood; for an adult, it would elevate its overall level, potentially awakening innate supernatural powers.


Conversely, if Jiuxuan Meihu can consume Sky Fox, the impact would be remarkably significant.


As the Fox King is currently imprisoned and unable to exert his full strength, consuming the sky fox’s body would not only enable him to break through the blockade instantly and restore his original strength but also elevate him to a higher level!


Upon discovering that the fetus in the womb of the green fox possessed an abundance of aura and was, in fact, a sky fox, the Fox King was genuinely ecstatic. To avoid detection by King Panshan, he skillfully concealed the presence of the fetus.


However, Sky Fox, even as a fetus, possessed the ability to sense malevolence in the father’s body and harbored a greedy desire for the father’s body. Being the purest fox, it could resist Jiuxuan Meihu’s fox charm, and this ability was also passed on to the mother temporarily.


Mrs. Hu Mei, deeply enamored with the Fox King, remained unaffected by magical spells, but upon discovering the Fox King’s coveting of the fetus in her womb, panic ensued. Torn between her deep love for the Fox King and her familial ties with the unborn child, she was reluctant to part with both. She devised secret plans.


Possessing the strength of a resilient mother, Mrs. Hu Mei seized an opportunity when she gave birth. In a moment when the Fox King was momentarily indisposed due to covering up the matter, she, ignoring postpartum trauma, utilized her backhand maneuver, exhausted all contacts, and finally escaped with the baby.


The subsequent events, including evading the pursuit of wild beasts and avoiding the search of monsters sent by King Panshan, would unfold in the future.


Ultimately, Mrs. Hu Mei couldn’t elude the relentless pursuit of wild beasts and encountered Xu Ziqing in a state of panic.


While Jiuxuan Meihu divulged much, providing clarity on the intricate relationship between him and Hu Xueer, he also glossed over certain aspects, leaving many questions unanswered.


For instance, the nature of his relationship with the Panshan Beast King and the reasons behind the King’s imprisonment remained undisclosed. The Fox King mentioned his involvement with King Panshan’s concubine, seemingly without facing repercussions. Despite the apparent desire of the King for Jiuxuan Meihu’s beauty, there lingered a subtle sense of strangeness, leaving both Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie hesitant to draw conclusions.


Driven by intuition, they refrained from making premature judgments as the fox king persisted, saying, “Why not consider changing? I’m willing to offer significant benefits and assure you won’t be disappointed.”


Caught in the gaze of Jiuxuan Meihu’s blood-red eyes, Hu Xueer felt as if thorns covered its body. The relentless intent in its chest yearned to pounce on him immediately, tear out his heart, and devour him alive!


The nature of their conflict was evident—the fox before it, related by blood, was its eternal adversary, prey, and a source of great nourishment. Fully aware that consuming this heart would result in immediate growth and assist its master, the two monsters locked eyes in a fierce standoff, each unwilling to yield an inch!


Observing the situation, Xu Ziqing furrowed his brow. This wasn’t the opportune moment for Xue’er to confront the Fox King, and although the Fox King’s proposition couldn’t be accepted, Xu Ziqing promptly declined, stating, “Xue’er has been adopted as my beast pet; I’m afraid I cannot fulfill the Fox King’s request.”


The pupils of Jiuxuan Meihu contracted suddenly. “You’re not interested in knowing the price?” he inquired.


Shaking his head, Xu Ziqing replied, “Principles stand firm, regardless of the cost.”


Jiuxuan Meihu deeply gazed at Xu Ziqing, and the blood in his eyes gradually faded. No longer exhibiting the beastly behavior from earlier, he regained composure and allure, reminiscent of their initial encounter. Controlling all emotions and desires, he smiled, saying, “It doesn’t matter.”


Raising his eyebrows, he continued, “The two of you are unusual, especially…this one.”


When Jiuxuan Meihu mentioned exchanging Hu Xue’er for consumption, Xu Ziqing felt a heightened sense of alienation, and Yun Lie’s unyielding intent to kill persisted. The sword once again targeted the Fox King. Though he appeared calm, a bead of sweat on his forehead hinted at his inner turmoil.


Gently stroking Hu Xue’er’s back, Xu Ziqing infused true energy to calm it. Gradually, the hostility dissipated, leaving Hu Xue’er tranquil and lively.


Addressing them, the Fox King remarked, “This cultivator’s emotions are frozen, and his skills are quite unique. Could it be… the way of ruthless killing swords?”


Yun Lie cast a cold glance, devoid of mercy. “Now that you know, understand that this place will be your final resting place,” he declared. The desire to kill intensified and sword intent surged.


“Swoosh—”


The sword intent moved like light, charging forward.


Jiuxuan Meihu’s eyes showed a peculiar color, and he immediately uttered, “Soul Lamp!”


The sword narrowly missed his vital point, leaving a faint red mark on his throat. Jiuxuan Meihu smiled calmly, explaining, “Panshan imprisoned me here and dared to ban foreign consciousness. Naturally, safety is unattainable. When he restricted my core, he seized the chance to extract a trace of my soul, refined a soul lamp with a unique technique, and kept me under surveillance. Any harm, even a slight one, would be immediately detected. Hence, he rushed here.”


The implication was clear: Yun Lie’s adept manipulation of sword intent saved them from alerting the Fox King.


Yun Lie’s gaze grew colder, but he retracted his sword intent, refraining from further strikes.


Sighing inwardly, Xu Ziqing contemplated his words. Suddenly, he sensed an unusual presence.


Simultaneously, Jiuxuan Meihu urgently advised, “Quick, hide! Panshan is approaching!”
