Chapter 35 – Little fox
Boom!
Above the prison, thousands of flying swords hovered, their sharp tips aimed at all the rioting demon beasts.
But these demon beasts were destined to die, and now death was a relief for them. So, they weren't afraid of the formation about to be activated.
The situation was about to spiral out of control.
Snap!
Lin Hao abruptly stopped and patted the sword case on his back.
"Xiang Xiaoyuan, are you willing to slay demons?"
This sword case was exchanged with a rough magical treasure embryo and Xiang Xiaoyuan at the market. It had never been named, so he decided to name it after Xiang Xiaoyuan in her memory.
Click, click, click!
The mechanism sounded, and the sword case opened.
A fiery red long sword flew into Lin Hao's hand.
His eyes, cold as ice, swept over the bear-headed man. This ruthless beast, who killed without blinking, was so intimidated by the gaze that cold sweat dripped down, and it collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from its seven orifices. In just one breath... its limbs were severed.
Silence!
The demon beasts only saw the human turn and glance, and the foolish bear mysteriously lost its limbs.
They immediately realized this was not someone they could provoke.
The new demon suppressor was a peerless ruthless person!
They watched in terror as that tall figure gradually walked away.
Along the way, anyone who dared to offend Lin Hao with their words found their limbs severed.
The demon beasts with intact bodies were all horrified. Was this human from the underworld?
Cold and ruthless.
The human dared to walk towards the prison, where all the pure-blood demon beasts, notorious for their killings, were bound with thunderfire chains!
It's said that in the deepest cell, there's a peerless fiend, with a green face and fangs, standing ten meters tall, whose arms could pierce the demon-suppressing tower with a swing, and whose body, like divine iron, feared no Daoist magic. If it wanted to leave, no one could stop it.
This human dared to venture underground, truly bold and skilled, but he might be scared out of his wits by those savage beasts.
Judging by the human's attire, he was clearly not a tower elder, likely a disciple here to receive punishment. If he died here, the Xuan Yin Sect probably wouldn't hold anyone accountable.
The mixed-blood demon beasts pinned their hopes on the pure-blood beasts deep inside.
But unlike the hybrids, the pure-bloods were as obedient as dogs, all bowing their heads, not daring to look directly at the human, fearing their gaze might be seen as disrespectful and provoke the human's displeasure.
They had long been warned by that one not to show any disrespect to the human, or their species would be exterminated.
They might die, but if their species were wiped out, the sin would be too great.
Indeed, was he here for that one?
Seeing the human's figure disappear into the darkness, the pure-bloods let out a sigh of relief, temporarily escaping disaster.
Hopefully, there would be no conflict between the human and that one, and that one's mood would be better; otherwise, some beasts would die.
Tap, tap, tap!
Footsteps echoed in the quiet prison.
Lin Hao walked to the depths and found the star iron cells empty.
It seemed there were no demon beasts imprisoned here, yet he clearly sensed a strong demonic aura.
Finally, he arrived at the last cell.
This cell wasn't made of star iron but divine iron used for forging magical treasures, with a suppression formation carved on the door.
Through the gap in the door, Lin Hao saw a pure white fox inside, with one tail... no, it was a long tail with eight broken tails.
"You've come."
The white fox spoke in human tongue and then transformed.
The woman it transformed into was in her prime, with delicate features like inked smoke, skin as white as snow with a touch of rouge.
Her large eyes were the clearest, as if crushed stars were contained within.
A straight nose, full cherry lips, and white teeth.
A neck whiter than snow, budding maiden's bosom, and long, straight legs.
Anyone who saw her would have to praise her as a peerless beauty, unable to resist looking again and again.
The woman's appearance was pure and innocent, yet she exuded endless allure.
"You've come."
This voice had strong penetration, and the pure-bloods trembled like sieves upon hearing it, fearing that one would be angry.
"Were you waiting for me?"
Lin Hao reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the woman's long legs.
"Weren't you here to find a woman?"
Facing the woman's pure gaze, Lin Hao felt a bit embarrassed. He indeed wanted to find a woman to cultivate with, but this one was a demon beast, humans shouldn't... at least they shouldn't.
"I am looking for a woman."
Lin Hao's gaze was fiery, full of aggression, as he looked up and down the woman's beautiful body.
"But you're not human, just a female."
The woman's lively eyes held a hint of grievance.
"Isn't my transformation beautiful? I think my human form is prettier than any woman I've seen."
Lin Hao could see that the woman wasn't vain but sincere, not knowing what lying was.
And she was telling the truth. Among the women Lin Hao knew, only his master Feng Cangyue could rival her beauty.
"Heh, little fox."
Lin Hao retracted his fiery gaze and said calmly, "Little fox, you've probably said this to everyone who comes here."
"You want to use your charm to control a human to help you unlock the formation's restrictions."
"But you've picked the wrong target."
The allure on the woman's face vanished, and she puffed her soft cheeks, saying, "Boring, you're a dull human."
Lin Hao's lips curved into a smile.
"Heh, I'm dull?"
"Only if I succumbed to your charm and removed the formation sealing you would you find me interesting."
The woman's delicate brows furrowed, her face smiling, her beautiful eyes playful, and her ample chest rising and falling.
"How about we make a deal?"
"You help me break the sealing formation, and when I leave here, I'll make you a demon king."
"You must have made quite a few demon kings before."
Lin Hao's starry eyes flashed with mockery.
"You..." The woman was so angry she reverted to her original form.
"Leave, I don't want to see you again."
"Heroes see things differently; I quite want to see you."
"After all, you look much more pleasing than those oddly shaped creatures."
The little fox didn't speak, only showing Lin Hao her backside.
Lin Hao smiled slightly, using two talismans, Dusting and Pure Water, to clean the little fox's cell and tidy her fur.
This made the little fox bristle, baring her teeth at Lin Hao, but that's all she could do.
Her powers were sealed, and the other was immune to her charm; she had no means to subdue him.
After petting the little fox, Lin Hao left satisfied.
It's worth mentioning that on his way out of the prison, a tigress also wanted Lin Hao to clean her cell and groom her fur, but she got hit by a Frost Descend, nearly becoming a frozen tiger jerky.
After Lin Hao came out, he found the charming Han Liyue waiting for him at the door.
"Finished cleaning the cells?"
"Finished."
Han Liyue sniffed the faint scent of blood in the air, her lips curving into a beautiful smile.
"Finally, someone interesting has come."
