Everyone found it rather odd that Bai Hu, also known as the Ancestral White Fox, had not looked well in recent days, appearing as if she had been groped by unwelco hands... Yet, they couldn't bring themselves to believe ng Yu would be responsible.
If ng Yu truly fancied fluffy tails, he would not have chosen a high difficulty level but would have pursued the various won instead... Speaking with all sincerity, while the Ancestral White Fox held a noble status, many of the girls believed they were quite beautiful as well.
The line of Bai Hu was a clan that strictly adhered to rules, with married won praised for their gentleness and sensibility. To put it simply, the character of being 'sensible' ant they could, to so extent, hold onto a man and were adept at reading emotions.
It was evident to all that ng Yu was a true gentleman who honored proper conduct.
Why would the Ancestral White Fox quarrel with him?
...
Among the Fox Clan with six tails, it was said that Bai Hu was the kindest.
However, Bai Hu did not believe this to be true; there were many others who were more considerate and with far better temperants than her. It was only because they were at the Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core stages, that she, a Nascent Soul, had made it onto the list.
Of course... she was still proud of her good temper, but these past few days, she sotis felt her temples throbbing with anger.
"Ah Yu, have you given in again?"
If you're about to do business, you warmly call your financier 'brother' or 'sister'. If they happen to be a young child, you must affectionately address them as such.
Therefore, Bai Hu changed her title for ng Yu to Ah Yu.
"It's not giving in, just revisiting the negotiation."
Not long before, another female Golden Core from Eternal Night Palace had sought out ng Yu, proposing that as a citizen with grievances, she'd like to request ng Yu to arrange a private room for a chat.
Bai Hu witnessed ng Yu's descent.
He agreed to the request, and then the door closed; what happened inside Bai Hu did not know, but after a while, the female Golden Core erged—her hair still tidy, smile unchanged, but Bai Hu sensed a certain scent, as well as a shy look in her expression.
After the female Golden Core left, ng Yu asked Bai Hu to reassess the assets of Eternal Night Palace, causing the veins on her forehead to throb.
With traitors like Xie Mingxian and Lan Qiong, ng Yu already had a grasp of how many assets Eternal Night Palace had on paper.
Previously, when Bai Hu and Lan Qiong discussed the terms for the sect leader's surrender, a baseline had been set—these were the terms ng Yu once offered to the Third Princess of Eternal Night Palace. Bai Hu declared that, by convention, this offer was already exceedingly generous, and if you're negotiating, edge forward bit by bit, don't reveal everything all at once.
Then... after ng Yu had shared a bed with the Third Princess of Eternal Night Palace, he presented her with an ultimate, extrely generous offer.
Well then, you're wealthy, you're generous—I have nothing to say; after all, it was ng Yu's decision.
Subsequently, sensing what might be ng Yu's weakness, another female Golden Core of Eternal Night Palace approached, throwing herself into ng Yu's embrace with whimpers, tearfully stating how frightened she was as his army approached and asking what they should do...
Thus, the negotiations continued, went well, marvelously well, so splendidly that when the door closed once more, ng Yu astonishingly agreed to provide this Golden Core Master with additional Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine!
Then ca the third one!
This ti, the bottom line had to be adjusted again!
"Sorry, so sorry, it's just... I felt a bit embarrassed, and so it went like this, Sister Bai Hu, please don't be angry."
ng Yu's apologetic gesture of pressing his hands together only aggravated Bai Hu's anger further.
Where had that cold-blooded warrior gone, and why did he keep acting like this?
Was he just a pushover?
His deanor on the Ascension List had won her admiration, yet now he was exposing a flaw in his attitude towards won!
"You're not serious, are you?"
She thought for a mont and decided to keep quiet.
ng Yu shouldn't be such a superficial man, but why couldn't she help but feel irritated?
...
Eternal Night Palace.
The black sky enveloped the Mountain Gate, with invisible Formations protecting everyone. Previously, this was a world teeming with life, where nurous Cultivators laughed and sung joyfully.
But these days, all had fallen silent.
Bai Qian logged off and slapped three Purification Talismans on her body. She rinsed her mouth several tis before she finally cald down.
That damned ng Yu, that damned Foundation Establishnt, despite being a Golden Core Master herself, she had to debase herself to serve him and even act like a frail and delicate damsel!
She had always prided herself as a phoenix soaring with unimaginable arrogance, yet now she suffered such humiliation.
And that bastard seed to treat her like a lowly woman, making all sorts of demands, what a complete scoundrel!
If not for the sake of the Sect, if not for victory, she would never have done such a thing!
The ssage-Bearing Flying Sword arrived, and Bai Qian flew towards the main hall.
"You've worked hard."
The Venerable Elder sighed, looking at the woman before him - his own direct disciple, who had been humiliated on the Ascension List!
"Master, it's alright, just think of it as an illusion produced by an Extraterritorial Demon, everything is fine. This is the information I gathered from my discussion with him today."
Bai Qian, holding back her tears, reported the information she had acquired to the Venerable Elder.
In the end, she couldn't help but add one more thing.
"You should keep a close watch on the other disciples and masters. Among them, so may falter."
The sweet nothings ng Yu whispered to her today during their tryst promised that even if the Venerable Elder refused to surrender, as long as she did not take action and followed him, she would receive endless fortune. He hinted that others had already accepted his offer, among other things.
She couldn't help ntioning it, for although she was fiercely loyal to the Sect, it didn't an others were as steadfast.
...
On the Flying Boat.
If they traveled at full speed, they were only ten days away from the Eternal Night Palace.
The servant army darkened the skies, and the Nascent Souls following them were brimming with eagerness. This was a battle destined for victory, and everyone was filled with confidence.
Inside the innermost Flying Boat, ng Yu's true body was relaying ssages to the analysis team.
Although his actions over the past few days had been beastly, as the third line of attack in a strategy combining both military and scholarly approaches - the bedroom line - he had to let the relevant people know what was happening.
"Poor Ah Yu, the beauty trap has made you sacrifice too much."
Fairy Taohua said with a smile that was not really a smile, thereby setting the tone for the event.
The biggest difference between a siege and an open battle is the ability to use psychological warfare, espionage, various inducents, and sotis even play a long ga before capturing the opponent.
Whether it was Mirror Twelve or ng Yu, they were fearless in open battle, but when it ca to a siege, it was all about caution.
Mirror Twelve had witnessed the terrifying Planet Formation, and in the battle at Cool Breeze Mountain, the Mountain Protection Array and the Five Elents Annihilation Light Cannon left a deep impression on ng Yu. During that battle, three Nascent Souls from the Myriad Gold Pavilion were confined and helpless as caged birds. That was just a minor Sect's Mountain Gate, so what about the Great Formation that the Eternal Night Palace had been cultivating for ten thousand years?
How could he assert that such an old Sect, which had produced beings that underwent Divinity Transformation and had myriad Nascent Souls, as well as subdued Demons and Divine Beasts, lacked depth?
Whether it was summoning several ancestors, retired elders, or even causing world-ending catastrophes, anything could happen.
And because of ti constraints, the Immortal Sect hadn't had the chance to plant spies!
Therefore, ng Yu would rather sacrifice his own purity to extricate crucial intelligence from those enchantresses!
"Thanks to Ah Yu, the beauty trap has brought us quite a bit of intelligence. The Eternal Night Palace still has so cards to play. That group is very stubborn; out of six, only one truly wishes to surrender. The rest are determined to resist until the end. If we believe them, trying to take shortcuts could result in devastating losses."
A tall Golden Core with pale skin that flushed with a hint of red spoke with a lingering fear.
The opposition Golden Core hid well, but ultimately, they fell prey to ng Yu's Growing Golden Lotus in a special circumstance.
"So, we need to dispatch Ah Yu," Fairy Taohua said calmly.
"That group, harboring a 'do or die' ntality, would still be moved by the chance for a peaceful departure. Don't forget, gentlen, that our biggest trump card has yet to be played!"
Everyone's gaze landed on ng Yu.
