Chapter 31: Nine-Tailed Saint Blood |
“No wonder he’s the senior brother of the Dao Sect, so bold and capable!”
Chen Xiaokui’s eyes flashed with admiration. Ordinary people avoided her once they knew her identity. She had been sent by the Demon Lord of the Southern Demon Nation to the Great Shang Empire. She had confused the Great Shang Emperor with her beauty, leading to a miserable existence for the people.
“Are you like Su Daji of the Wuling Continent? That’s interesting,” Zhang Yi recalled information about Chen Xiaokui in his mind and immediately thought of the legend of the nine-tailed fox from his previous life.
“Who is Su Daji? Is she as beautiful as me?” Chen Xiaokui blinked and asked.
“Senior brother, this fox demon is not a good person. You should keep your distance from her,” Zhang Luoyan said with concern.
“I spend my days and nights with Master. Will I be influenced by her?” For Zhang Yi, compared to Yue Yao, other girls were just skeletons coated in red or pink.
“Big brother, are you interested in the blood of the Barbarian King? Why don’t we work together?” Chen Xiaokui went straight to the point.
“No!” Two voices of opposition sounded at the same time. One was from Zhang Luoyan and the other was from Xiao Gu.
“Senior brother, this fox demon definitely has ulterior motives. You can’t go with her,” Zhang Luoyan explained her reasons for objecting.
However, Chen Xiaokui was not swayed. She stared straight at Zhang Yi and leaned in close to him, whispering in his ear, “Big brother, you’re not going to hurt me, are you?”
“If you’re useful to me, I won’t hurt you.”
Chen Xiaokui’s strength had also reached the initial stage of Spirit Transformation Realm. If she could assist him in the Great Barbarian Forbidden Land, they could avoid a lot of trouble.
At this, Chen Xiaokui responded with a charming smile and a soft laugh, “Hehe, then I have to make big brother happy.”
“Senior brother!”
“Saintess!”
The people around them were all anxiously persuading them, hoping they wouldn’t work together.
“Do not speak any further, I have my own arrangements!” Zhang Yi impatiently interrupted them. Even if Chen Xiaokui had ulterior motives, she was still within his control.
“Xiao Gu, you don’t have to say anything more. The Saintess believes that big brother is a true gentleman.”
Chen Xiaokui warmly hung onto Zhang Yi’s shoulder without any hesitation. “Right, big brother?”
“Too small!” Zhang Yi pushed Chen Xiaokui away. He wasn’t a casual person.
“What’s too small?”
At first, Chen Xiaokui didn’t understand, but upon seeing Zhang Yi’s expression, she instantly understood. A rare blush appeared on her pretty face. “Big Brother, you’re so bad. I really like it…”
Zhang Yi: ………
Zhang Luoyan: Shameless!
Shen Chenyu: Shameless!
“By the way, I heard that Big Brother has a conflict with Ye Haoran. That guy has also come to the Great Barbarian City. Why don’t we join forces to kill him?”
The incident in which Zhang Yi appeared in the Heaven Sect had already caused a lot of commotion. She naturally knew about the conflict between the two.
“Oh? Has he also come? Don’t bother with him, he’s just a defeated underling.”
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, obviously not concerned about Ye Haoran.
“As expected of a man who has awakened the Supreme Bone, my Southern Demon Nation welcomes Big Brother to visit at any time.” After speaking, Chen Xiaokui also raised her eyebrows, full of teasing.
However, Zhang Yi didn’t notice that Ye Haoran was hiding in the shadows, observing. When he heard Zhang Yi’s words, his whole body exploded with murderous intent. “Zhang Yi! Once we enter the Great Barbarian Forbidden Land, I will make sure you have nowhere to be buried.”
“Chen Xiaokui, you shameless person. You didn’t even show your face to me, but now you’re wagging your tail to please Zhang Yi. Shameless!”
Ye Haoran also held a grudge against Chen Xiaokui, and jealousy made him hostile.
Just then, a man dressed in tiger skin rushed over, causing the ground to tremble. “Xiaokui! How can you cooperate with humans?”
“Who is this person?” Zhang Yi squinted at the muscular man in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
“He’s just a nobody. Please don’t blame him, big brother,” Chen Xiaokui explained and turned around, coldly scolding, “Hu Zi! What are you doing here? Who I choose to cooperate with is none of your business!”
“Xiaokui…” Hu Zi was anxious to explain, but was interrupted mercilessly by Chen Xiaokui. “And also, who gave you permission to call me Xiaokui? Call me Saintess!”
“Of course… big brother can call me whatever he wants.” Chen Xiaokui’s tone and demeanor completely changed when speaking to Zhang Yi, with a charming smile always on her face.
“Saintess… After we return to the Southern Demon Nation, I will report this to the Demon Lord!” Hu Zi felt discriminated against and glared fiercely at Zhang Yi, his eyes full of murderous intent.
“Get lost! Today, I won’t kill you because of your father’s face!” Chen Xiaokui felt the killing intent that Hu Zi had towards Zhang Yi and suddenly released her nine tails, causing a vast demonic energy to spread throughout the Great Barbarian City. Then, her nine snow-white tails, seeming to have their own life, tightly bound Hu Zi.
“If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me! So many people are watching!” Hu Zi was not at all flustered and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Chen Xiaokui’s face turned extremely grim, and with a thought, her nine tails increased in strength, causing Hu Zi’s face to turn red, as if he could burst at any moment.
“Saintess, is it worth it to kill me for him?”
Hu Zi’s eyes were full of unwillingness. He didn’t understand why his goddess, who was always superior in his heart, would defend a human like this. Was it just because this human looked a little better? He didn’t look bad either, although he was still only a few million times worse than Zhang Yi.
“Get lost!”
Chen Xiaokui snorted coldly and the nine-tails behind her suddenly exerted force, throwing Hu Zi out.
Zhang Luoyan and Shen Chenyu were both shocked by Chen Xiaokui’s strength. “Senior Brother, her strength is extraordinary. Maybe we shouldn’t cooperate with her,” Zhang Luoyan whispered.
‘Nonsense! It’s precisely because of her strength that we should cooperate with her. If she were ordinary, I wouldn’t bother with her,’ Zhang Yi said in his mind.
After dealing with Hu Zi’s affairs, Chen Xiaokui put away her nine-tailed appearance and became the charming saintess again. She slightly bowed and said, “I’m sorry to show you this embarrassing scene, Senior Brother.”
Zhang Yi waved his hand and looked at the nearby entrance of the Great Barbarian Forbidden Land. “I heard that there is only one drop of Barbarian King’s Blood every time the Forbidden Land is opened. But I must have that drop of Barbarian King’s Blood. How do you plan to cooperate with me?”
“When did I say that my goal was the Barbarian King’s Blood? I’ll help you get it, and you’ll help me acquire the Blood of Nine-tailed Saint. We’ll help each other,” Chen Xiaokui said. From the beginning, this was why she wanted to cooperate with Zhang Yi.
‘Great Barbarian Forbidden Land has Nine-tailed Saint Blood? Why didn’t I know?’ Zhang Yi thought that the intelligence network of the Dao Sect was well-developed, and as the senior brother of the sect, he naturally had high authority. However, he knew nothing about the Nine-tailed Saint Blood, which made him suspect that something was wrong.
