Chapter 145 9 Tailed Fox
Chapter 145 9 Tailed Fox
"I'm sorry, I..." Chu Xinyao's words were interrupted by a sharp female voice.
The sound was like a sharp knife, slicing through the air.
"Fox One, you're courting death." A slightly plump female rushed over angrily, her eyes burning with rage, as if she wanted to burn Fox One to ashes.
Her movements were swift and brutal. Her fingers curled into claws, as if to grab Fox One.
Fox felt threatened by Jiao Xi'er. Although it was just Jiao Xi'er herself, he might not be afraid. However, having suffered bullying for a long time, he had already engraved Jiao Xi'er's cruelty into his mind.
His body involuntarily shrank back, like a frightened little animal, his eyes filled with fear. Instinctively, he hid behind Chu Xinyao, behind whom stood the male beastman exuding an astonishing aura.
Snake Ink looked at Fox One, who was hiding behind Chu Xinyao, with some disdain, and unconsciously wanted to kick away this weak beast that was getting close to him.
"Xi'er, don't be impulsive." Yu Paopao's voice rang out just in time. He moved even faster, grabbing Jiao Xi'er's arm to prevent her sharp nails from hurting his beloved.
He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt Chu Xinyao, not even his sister.
Upon seeing that it was Yu Paopao, Jiao Xi'er's usual arrogant expression subsided. In front of Yu Paopao, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Brother Bubble, Fox One went too far. How could he treat me like this?" Jiao Xi'er said, her voice trembling with tears of grievance in her eyes.
She couldn't accept that he had confessed his feelings to another female in front of her; it was a huge insult to her.
Standing between Hu Yi and Jiao Xi'er, Chu Xinyao felt inexplicably helpless. Her gaze lingered on Jiao Xi'er; this was the first time she had met this niece of the fish roe.
Tears welled up in Jiao Xi'er's eyes, the tears as clear and bright as pearls, evoking pity in people.
This stirred up complex emotions in Chu Xinyao, who was also a woman. She didn't know what to do. Should she comfort Jiao Xi'er or keep her distance, since she had also been drawn into this conflict?
Jiao Xi'er finally couldn't hold back her tears and looked at Chu Xinyao: "Empress Songzai, I really like Hu Yi. You have so many excellent beast husbands, don't try to take him from me, okay?"
"No, I didn't..." Chu Xinyao waved her hand, she didn't want to interfere in other people's relationships.
Yu Paopao, holding Jiao Xi'er's hand, felt somewhat annoyed by his sister's tears. The fact that he had also approached Chu Xinyao made him even more uncomfortable.
He stared at the fish bubble with some hostility. "Didn't you say you wanted to prove it? How are you going to prove it?"
Upon hearing this, Jiao Xi'er became somewhat anxious. "Brother Bubble?" she asked, reaching out to grasp Bubble's sleeve, puzzled.
They are siblings, both of the merfolk race. How could he not help his own? Could it be... because of this female?
She glared at Chu Xinyao with resentment. It was all that woman's fault. What kind of bullshit "Child-Giving Goddess" was she? She wanted nothing more than to go up to her and scratch her pretty face to pieces.
Yu Paopao held Jiao Xi'er's arm tightly, a hint of reproach in his eyes. "Xi'er, you should know that matters of the heart cannot be forced. Hu Yi has the right to choose, and so do you."
His voice was calm as he tried to make Jiao Xi'er understand that feelings are a two-way street and cannot be forced unilaterally.
Jiao Xi'er finally couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face. Her heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
"However, Fox One, you must remember that you were sent by the Fox Clan to form a marriage alliance with my Merfolk Clan. Your feelings are no longer a choice you can make. If you can't produce proof now, you should go back with Merfolk Xi'er!"
It wasn't that he looked down on orcs, but he really didn't think much of this fox.
Besides his good looks, what else can he use to prove his feelings for the young female? Even if he proves his feelings, so what?
His sixth-tier strength, humph!
Fox gritted his teeth, suddenly stood up, his body radiating a powerful aura, his eyes filled with determination.
He opened his mouth and spat out a white bead. This bead emitted a faint light, and it slowly rotated in the air, radiating a mysterious and powerful force.
This is Fox One's inner core. The inner core rotates in the air, and the light it emits becomes brighter and brighter, filling the entire space with this light.
Fish Bubble looked at Fox One's inner core, and his eyes showed surprise.
"Are you a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?" Ordinary foxes wouldn't have such a peculiar inner core.
The inner core of the nine-tailed fox clan's descendants is not a symbol of great power, but rather...
"Yes," Fox nodded, reached out and took down the inner core that was spinning in the air and emitting an increasingly bright light, and handed it to Chu Xinyao with both hands.
"The inner core of a nine-tailed fox, combined with a secret technique, has a very powerful and unique effect. That is..."
"Alright, I agree to let you become Yao's beast husband." The usually aloof Snake Ink suddenly interrupted Fox One, actually agreeing to let Fox One become Chu Xinyao's beast husband.
!!!
Chu Xinyao's eyes were filled with shock, wide open as if she couldn't believe her ears. She turned her head, her gaze fixed on She Mo's face, trying to find the answer in his expression.
"Mo, are you crazy!" Her voice trembled, clearly extremely surprised by She Mo's suggestion.
“I’ve only met him once, how can we become partners?” She was clearly taken aback by this sudden arrangement.
Snake Ink shook his head slightly, but he also had his own considerations.
He raised his hand and gently patted Chu Xinyao's shoulder, saying in a gentle tone, "Yao, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Chu Xinyao was a little anxious. "Hey, no."
“Xin’er, She Mo is right, you should just listen to him.”
"That won't work either!"
“Little female, Snake Ink and Crane Feather are right, it’s decided then. You go back first, let’s just leave it at that with Fox One!” Fish Bubble’s last words were to Mermaid Xi’er.
Jiao Xi'er's eyes widened as she looked at Fish Bubble. "Brother Bubble?"
She stood there, stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had never imagined that Yu Paopao, though not particularly protective of her, was still a member of the same clan and a close relative, and had never humiliated her like this before.
Her voice trembled slightly as she tried to find answers in Yu Paopao's eyes. Yu Paopao avoided Jiao Xi'er's gaze. He knew his words had hurt her, but he understood even better what the Nine-Tailed Fox's inner core meant. And what would Chu Xinyao gain by possessing the Nine-Tailed Fox's inner core?
"Guards, take Jiao Xi'er away and lock her in the room. She is not to be released without my order."
