Chapter 185 Tu Shan Yue Makes Her Debut
Even the wicked moon immortal you that was killed can be resurrected; it doesn't count as death in the true sense.
Therefore, Xue Youyou can still proudly say that she has zero kills.
The choice of target for the first kill is very important; she needs to find someone worthy of being the first kill.
Su Yao: "..."
The power of the Qingqiu Fox comes entirely from its tail. This might not be a secret in higher-level states, but in lower-level states, very few people know it. Not only did the opponent know this, but they were also able to precisely target the base of its tail, completely crippling its fighting ability while sparing its life.
What does this mean? The other party may not be a simple person either, after all, they are a beast tamer who can contract divine beasts. Calling them a native is indeed disrespectful.
Once Su Yao understood this, the last trace of resentment in her heart vanished.
It deserves its defeat.
"I lost."
Su Yao lowered her head, her voice devoid of its previous arrogance, replaced by a calm acceptance of defeat: "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."
The moment Su Yao conceded defeat, Guanghan Zhan's pet panel updated.
[Guanghan Slash Level 40→47]
That's how you gain experience; you don't necessarily have to kill your opponent. Defeating your opponent will also give you experience.
However, as soon as Su Yao finished speaking, having lost all her power, she could no longer maintain her airborne state and plummeted straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
The wind howled in her ears as she fell, and Su Yao closed her eyes, waiting for the excruciating pain of hitting the ground.
The anticipated impact did not occur.
A hand firmly embraced its waist.
Su Yao suddenly opened her eyes and saw a delicate face very close to hers. Her snow-white hair was gently swaying in the night wind, and her icy eyes reflected the starlight. A faint smile lingered on her lips.
Xue Youyou looked down at Su Yao in her arms, and naturally reached out with her free hand to touch the pair of fluffy fox ears on its head.
The moment her fingertips touched it, Xue Youyou's eyes lit up slightly.
The touch was soft and warm, with a slight tremor at the tip of my ear; it felt as wonderful as caressing a cloud that had been warmed by the sun.
She couldn't help but rub them a few more times, her fingertips gently caressing the curve of the earlobe, feeling the ears tremble involuntarily in her palms, which she found increasingly amusing.
"What are you doing?!"
Su Yao's face flushed crimson at a visible speed, the redness spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. Instinctively, it wanted to struggle, to give this frivolous fellow a good whack with its claws.
But as soon as it made a move, Xue Youyou hugged its lower back even tighter, forcing its entire body to press against her chest, making it unable to move at all.
In the Qingqiu fox clan, ears and tails are considered the absolute territory of a young girl, and no one is allowed to touch them casually. Let alone being held in the arms of someone who just beat her so badly that she had no chance to fight back, and having her ears rubbed. Just thinking about it made Su Yao feel ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to die.
Xue Youyou seemed completely oblivious, continuing to rub her fox ears while chuckling in a lazy yet slightly teasing tone, "I heard that the pets in your upper-level region are very strong. I had high expectations before coming here, but they're so weak. I'm so disappointed~"
"you--!"
Su Yao trembled from the blatant insult. The last bit of her affection gathered at her fingertips into a few weak claws, and with her last bit of strength, she scratched at Xue Youyou's face.
However, those claw-like beams landed on Xue Youyou, who was in her sheathed state, and vanished without leaving a single white mark.
Xue Youyou didn't even bother to dodge. She simply lowered her eyelashes and glanced at Su Yao with her icy eyes, her tone as calm as if stating a perfectly normal fact: "If you move again, I'll be eating fox roasted birds tonight."
Su Yao's body suddenly stiffened.
Roasted bird? A fox roasting a bird? She's going to roast it and eat it?!
It widened its fox eyes, only to meet Xue Youyou's icy gaze, which showed no hint of a joke. Her gaze was clear and serious, as if to say, "I never joke with food."
Su Yao instantly wilted.
It could grit its teeth and endure the humiliation of having its tail cut off or its ears rubbed. But to be turned into a roasted bird and eaten—that kind of death was just too gruesome!
The thought that she, the most trusted confidante of Tu Shan Yue and the Eight-Tailed Fox of Qingqiu, would end up being skewered on bamboo sticks and roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, made Su Yao feel dizzy.
It completely gave up struggling, its body limp and collapsed in Xue Youyou's arms, only its fox eyes still staring at the other with grief and indignation, silently accusing this demon of its brutality.
Xue Youyou nodded in satisfaction, then, holding Su Yao in her arms, she flashed down and slowly descended towards the plaza below.
However, when Xue Youyou carried Su Yao and landed steadily on the bluestone ground of the square, the scene before her eyes made the smile on her lips freeze completely.
There were eleven people from Lanzhiyuan—Lu Yutang, Lin Yueyao, Liu Qingchan, Su Wanrou, Cui Yelan, Luo Yan, Ning Xiaoman, Shen Yanqiu, Jiang Hanli, Xie Jianchun, and Lu Yuan, who was bound hand and foot. They were all tightly bound with colorful foxfire ropes and thrown into the center of the square like a string of rice dumplings.
Around them, seven members of the Qingqiu fox clan and dozens of locally recruited servants stood ready.
Xue Youyou: "..."
She glanced at the mess on the square—several slabs of bluestone were overturned, several ancient trees were broken, and there were a few shallow ditches. But overall, the battle was not large-scale and had obviously ended quite quickly.
In other words, all eleven of them were wiped out by the other side in such a short time.
Eleven people in total!
Although the opposing side had a large number of people and the seven Qingqiu foxes were all at the Great Perfection stage, surely they should have been able to defeat even one of them before she finished fighting and returned?
Xue Youyou's lips twitched slightly, unsure of what expression to make for a moment.
Fortunately, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was still alive, and although they all had some injuries, none of them were serious. The two who looked the worst were Su Wanrou and Lin Yueyao. It seemed that they had resisted a little more fiercely than the others, but not so fiercely that the other side had to kill them.
Seeing Xue Youyou carrying Su Yao as they landed, Lin Yueyao lowered her head in shame: "Chief, I'm sorry... that six-tailed Qingqiu fox on the other side was too strong, we really..."
Xue Youyou waved her hand to interrupt her, indicating that there was no need to say more. Her gaze swept around the square before landing on the seven Qingqiu foxes.
Meanwhile, the seven Qingqiu foxes opposite her were also sizing her up, or more precisely, they were sizing up Su Yao, who was in her arms and whose tails had all been cut off and who was as weak as a doll.
"Lord Su Yao is here—?!"
The six-tailed Qingqiu fox at the head cried out in shock, its composure shattered, replaced by disbelief and horror.
Su Yao, the Eight-Tailed Fox, is the second strongest member of their Qingqiu branch after their master Tu Shan Yue. Yet, she was beaten so badly by this snow-haired girl that even her tail was broken off!
Moreover, judging from the opponent's nonchalant demeanor, without even a scratch on his body, he clearly won the battle by completely dominating and without sustaining any injuries.
The seven Qingqiu foxes' gazes towards Xue Youyou instantly changed. The superior and composed demeanor they had displayed when facing the others from Lanzhi Courtyard vanished, replaced by deep apprehension and fear.
Especially the hundred-meter-long ice crystal giant sword floating beside Xue Youyou, in its sheathed form, Guanghan Slash, even just hovering there quietly, the sword intent it emitted made their hair stand on end.
That's a divine beast that can be slain ten times.
Even Su Yao was defeated; all of them combined wouldn't be enough to fill someone's teeth.
Xue Youyou took in the horrified expressions of everyone opposite her, then looked down at Su Yao, who was trembling in her arms, and suddenly found the scene rather amusing.
She shook Su Yao in her arms, gestured with her chin towards the opposite side, and asked in a relaxed tone, as if she were haggling at a market: "Exchanging prisoners?"
The seven Qingqiu foxes exchanged glances, each seeing the same thought in the other's eyes—to agree to her request.
The six-tailed Qingqiu fox in the lead was about to speak—
"Wait!"
A languid yet authoritative female voice descended from the sky.
Nine moon-white streaks of light drifted down from the top of the main pavilion, tracing nine graceful arcs in mid-air before finally landing lightly in the center of the square.
As the smoke cleared, a girl in gorgeous clothes was revealed. Nine fluffy tails swayed slowly behind her. Her narrow fox eyes were slightly narrowed as she looked at Xue Youyou and Su Yao in her arms with a half-smile.
It is none other than Tu Shan Yue, the head of the Lanzhou branch of Qingqiu Yue, a royal member of the Qingqiu fox clan, and a nine-tailed Qingqiu fox!
