"Hmm."
He glanced at Bai Hu, her modest and dignified appearance masked an embarrassed expression.
Worried about her sisters suffering, even more afraid of them undermining her, before ng Yu arrived, Bai Hu had asked what the other mbers of the Fox Clan were like. Besides providing detailed information, she had quietly added so badmouthing.
This one's crafty at heart, that one has a lover, another stinks...
There was no helping it, everything happened too rapidly that she hadn't had ti to establish enough rapport with ng Yu. On the contrary, it seed like they had been hand-fed good fortune.
But was this truly okay?
Everything felt like unfolding within a fairy tale, except the prince arrived a few hundred years late.
ng Yu moved closer to her, his gaze fixating on her long and fluffy tail. Her heart raced, but she couldn't help thinking of True Monarch Shui Yue.
"Are you just going to let him bully you like this?"
"Is it worth it?"
"Hmm, just make sure not to let him take advantage of you offline!"
That's what she had said to her good sisters back then, but now, her heart was in a turmoil. What if ng Yu wanted her to do sothing... What would she do?
Previously, she had confidently told True Monarch Shui Yue, rest assured, I will compete fairly and squarely!
She closed her eyes, her tail becoming even fluffier and stiffer, but no longer swaying.
Would he surely reach out to touch it? His eyes had sparkled with interest at it nurous tis.
Bai Hu hadn't refrained from recomnding other younger and more beautiful foxes to him, but this man never laid hands on his own people, always appearing genteel. If it weren't for the situation with True Monarch Shui Yue, perhaps Bai Hu would have thought of him as a gentleman, rather than so pervert.
"I am not at a loss... He's so young, he's so nice, such a great man, I like him."
That reminded her of the words of True Monarch Shui Yue.
Suddenly, a clamor arose from outside.
...
When ng Yu returned, he made no attempt to conceal his presence. Many had seen ng Yu, but it was still surprising that soone had barged in.
The Fox Clan had many masters guarding the place; they had let them in due to a misunderstanding.
The outsiders didn't know them, but the Fox Clan masters recognized these girls who had once co in groups looking for ng Yu, then spent the night together.
They were unaware of their identity, and ng Yu would not tell the Fox Clan that these were ladies from the Eternal Night Palace, so their guards hesitated a bit when intercepting them—after all, they were ng Yu's private indulgences.
The Fox Clan was currently cooperating well with ng Yu. What if they hard soone's beloved?
ng Yu sighed as he covetously glanced at Bai Hu's fluffy tail.
"Well then..."
What else could ng Yu say?
The Eldest Princess's group used common cultivation techniques and had hidden their true faces when they barged in, sparing ng Yu so dignity. Was he really supposed to force them to shout in public, "ng Yu, you're inhumane"?
"Please, let them in."
ng Yu shook his head helplessly. Turning back, he noticed that Bai Hu's tail had retreated into her dress.
Ah... what a ss.
Before, the Eternal Night Palace had declared war on ng Yu, then the ladies had all blocked ng Yu, expressing their unanimous and unyielding stance, so ng Yu had blocked them as well.
Although he missed their soft and warm presence.
"Are you alright?"
The Eldest Princess stood before ng Yu, the other girls had gone elsewhere, and they were very curious as to why the Eldest Princess suddenly wanted to storm into Blood God Town and discuss matters with ng Yu today.
Wasn't it supposed to be an impregnable stronghold with the advantage on our side?
"I'm not okay, you were right, I'm foolish," the Eldest Princess wanted to say sothing, even scold ng Yu, but seeing his refreshed and spirited appearance, and how he had specifically served her a cup of tea, her only thought was, what exactly has happened?
Just yesterday, Pavilion Master Mi from the Myriad Gold Pavilion had contacted an Elder of the Eternal Night Palace, who had then sabotaged the Mountain Gate and led a team to surrender.
Master Mi spoke earnestly to the elder, explaining that the Myriad Gold Pavilion had deliberated and decided that this war was not beneficial. However, they found themselves in a difficult position with no easy way out, so they contemplated sacrificing the Eternal Night Palace and offering you a chance at wealth and status.
Now that you have surrendered to ng Yu, you can save your own life and gain riches, and we can publicly claim that the pause in the military campaign is due to the loss suffered by the Eternal Night Palace and the need for us to reconsider our strategy. I will rember your contributions, and as long as you return to the Myriad Gold Pavilion, I will grant you a generous reward.
Regrettably, that elder, while seemingly bought over by the Myriad Gold Pavilion, was in fact an agent of the Eternal Night Palace. He reported the information to Mu Venerable and the Eldest Princess, indicating that the situation was very, very suspicious.
Master Mi is truly heartless and ruthless. How could such a treacherous, bone-crushing scoundrel possibly offer kindness?
Even if they were in a difficult position and felt the war was not worth it, they would not benevolently allow him to break the Mountain Gate Formation and surrender to ng Yu. It's completely illogical!
Mu Venerable, the Eldest Princess, and the elder all sensed sothing chillingly sinister.
All kinds of speculations arose, and after excluding each impossibility, what remained, however improbable, could possibly occur.
A serious problem must have arisen within the Myriad Gold Pavilion, hence their preference to lose face and quickly call off the expedition, using the surrender of the Eternal Night Palace as an ideal excuse.
It's not that we didn't try hard, but our key support point surrendered, and now the battle situation has changed drastically, so we need to make long-term plans.
However... On this expedition of the Myriad Gold Pavilion's great army, with two Divinity Transformations, eight Nascent Souls, and countless Golden Cores, the Cultivator Legion blotted out the sky. In such a scenario, even if there were formidable enemies, they surely would not erge, because they could swiftly turn the battlefront to eliminate the enemy first!
Thus, there was only one truth...
Removing her cloak, the elder princess stood in a cyan dress, her jet-black hair cascading like a waterfall to her waist, and beneath her exquisite nose was a pair of shy, smiling almond eyes. Her cheeks were rosy with the blush that matched the color of peonies.
The elder princess approached ng Yu and stared blankly at this scoundrel.
She thought back to ng Yu's faint sorrow and mockery, fixating on her chest, nearly uttering four words.
Dumb as a stack of bricks.
At that ti, she was incredibly angry and swore that even in death, she would not bow down again.
But this ti, she had to step forward, her face burning with embarrassnt, but she had no choice.
"Ah Yu, after much contemplation, I feel that fighting is pointless. I am willing to negotiate for peace," she said, gazing intently at ng Yu.
Of course, she couldn't say outright that she was there to investigate the truth; she could only express a desire to negotiate.
From the strategic situation, ng Yu was at a disadvantage; once the Myriad Gold Pavilion's great army arrived, the Blood God Sect would suffer heavy losses. On the other hand, if they could quickly remove the thorn that was the Eternal Night Palace, the Myriad Gold Pavilion was very likely to retreat.
"Ah?"
ng Yu tilted his head, pondered for a mont, and then shook his head.
"No."
"Why?"
The elder princess's heart sank even deeper.
"There's no foundation of trust anymore."
ng Yu sighed, saying, "Look, I made peaceful contact with you all before, including refraining from attacking Eternal Night Palace, wishing for a peaceful resolution. But in the end, you reneged at the last mont, which cost greatly. I even faced ridicule from my fellow disciples.
A mistake can be made once, not twice. Now, if this negotiation is a ploy to buy ti until the Myriad Gold Pavilion's army advances deeper, then I'd be foolish."
"I'll be the hostage," the elder princess offered.
"It's no use, our trust is already gone."
ng Yu looked at her somberly.
He had once approached them with utmost sincerity, even at the cost of his own dignity, only to be t with rejection and abandonnt...
Ah... such heartache.
She was a bad woman after all, unwilling to sacrifice herself for him, even after receiving his body. And now, she was still playing gas with him.
Sigh...
"Ah Yu, if you won't negotiate with us, then we will surrender to you!" the woman suddenly declared resolutely.
