Chapter 9

Before Yao Huan could raise her head, she was already wrapped in an outer garment that still carried the warmth of the Emperor. By the time she came to her senses, she had already been embraced by the Emperor.

Wu Jing was meditating under the locust tree when he suddenly heard a dragon's roar piercing through the air. A surge of spiritual energy collided within him, causing him to let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale.

Though it has not yet fully bloomed, it already possesses a certain charm

The Shenxing grass, feeling as if its entire body had fallen apart from being thrown, was dazed for a long time. Just as it regained consciousness, it was struck on the head by a stone casually tossed by Yaohuan. Enraged, it rolled laboriously to the feet of the Emperor and shouted, "If you dare to leave, I will burn your shabby grass hut when I return!"

The sky changed abruptly, as a mass of chilling dark clouds suddenly enveloped the horizon. The sea of clouds surged, pressing heavily down towards the mountains and forests.

As she listened to the muffled sound, she seemed to sense something. Her lips quivered slightly as she attempted to evade the Emperor's hand to take a look at the fox demon. Just as this thought crossed her mind, the Emperor pressed down on her shoulder: "Are you injured?"

The girl in front of me was completely naked, her lips pale, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened, frowning tightly as she looked at her with caution

Whether it was the humble pleas of the fox spirit before, or the despair of the present moment, neither had caused any ripple on the face of the Emperor.

Startled, Yao Huan turned her head and glared at the little orchid beside the Emperor, who had a look of "I have a strong backing, so I am not afraid." She reached out and firmly grasped it in her palm, saying: "If you read my thoughts again, I will cook you into a dessert!"

The Emperor raised his hand to tuck her wind-blown hair behind her ear, and as his fingertips brushed past her delicate brows and eyes, the indifference in his gaze gradually crumbled away

The Emperor's eyes are pitch black and deep, resembling the night sky at midnight, with the darkness as thick as ink

After the boulder lodged in her throat was released, Xiao Huan coughed for a long time while covering her fresh neck. She could not stop her body from continuing to descend, nor did she wish to stop it.

In such a remote place on the hillside, it will take some time before anyone discovers that a dragon has died here. By the time the Emperor learns of it, she will have long since left this wretched place. Even if the Emperor seeks to hold her accountable then, she will have already blended into the mortal realm, and what can the Emperor do to her

He focused intently on the now seemingly reborn creature, gently stroking her head. When his fingers brushed against the horns on her head, he finally burst into laughter

The fox spirit looked up at the suddenly changing sky, realizing that if she did not act now, it would be too late. Just as she was about to make a desperate effort, even the heavens came to her aid

At the moment just before landing, a familiar sense of pressure descended overwhelmingly. Just like every time she made a mistake, the Emperor seized her tail and lifted her up by it.

In the next moment, the fox spirit let out a muffled groan and fell silent.

The Spirit Grass turned its head, particularly ambitious: "I shall not speak."

Yao Huan could not discern what the fox demon was thinking, but upon seeing her frown and scrutinize him, he mistakenly believed that his appearance was so unattractive that it had drawn her disdain, causing his heart to sink and feel as if it were extinguished.

Damn it! This is the divine herb that has grown up soaking in the water of Tianchi, existing only in the heavens and not on earth. This little wicked dragon even wants to boil it to make herbal jelly?

Just like when I first met him, the rain that had been falling for a long time stopped, as if the weather had suddenly improved. At that moment he arrived, and the originally gloomy sky cleared, with even the dark clouds dispersing

Falling to the ground is far better than being choked by a fox spirit in mid-air, unable to breathe

Not hearing the painful cry of Yao Huan, she furrowed her brows with some regret. As her figure sank down, just before Yao Huan was about to hit the ground, her five fingers gripped her neck, pulling her back in front of her.

This realization shattered the fox spirit's heart and mind, and she despairingly closed her eyes

He lowered his head to glance at the trembling Yao Huan in his arms, gently raising his hand to shield her eyes

His gaze was like a sharp sword, while the consciousness that bound her and nearly shattered her soul was now slowly eroding her meridians.

Yao Huan felt her face flush with embarrassment, and she thought sadly, could it be that she was destined to become the first dragon in the three realms to be strangled to death by a fox demon during her transformation, never knowing what she looked like in the end

grass jelly

How can this argument continue?

"It's late." He lowered his voice, seemingly afraid of disturbing the person in his arms

She changed her grip from a grasp to a hold, tightly clutching the neck of Yao Huan, her strength showing no mercy, as if she intended to crush Yao Huan's neck. The sudden onset of suffocation made Yao Huan unable to help but struggle.

However, the pain that Yaohuan had anticipated did not come

At this moment, Yao Huan transformed, her spiritual power unstable all around her. The fox demon was overjoyed and quickly leaped forward, extending its five sharp claws, the long nails seemingly infused with the glint of blades, fiercely slashing towards Yao Huan's back

The fox demon smiled with a charming grin, but when her gaze fell upon the dragon horns that remained visible even after her transformation and the dragon tail behind her, that smile faded, and she furrowed her brow in a somewhat perplexed manner

Although the fox demon was puzzled by the appearance of the dragon clan after transformation, this confusion did not make her forget her purpose at this moment

This wretched grass has turned against the heavens

"Is there something wrong?" The Emperor lowered his head to look at her

The fox demon, whose ears were buzzing from the roar of the dragon, had a slight change in expression due to anger

There was a subtle tension in that cool, detached voice

Yao Huan also noticed her horns and tail at this moment, and she mumbled while covering her horns with her hands, feeling somewhat dejected: "Have I become a very ugly monster now?"

The fox demon let out a light laugh, as if mocking Yaohuan's current overestimation of herself. She leaned slightly closer to Yaohuan's ear and lowered her voice, saying: "I thought you had some great abilities, but it turns out you are so easily defeated"

It brewed for a moment and then burst out cursing: "Not beautiful, not beautiful, not beautiful!"

The fox demon's well-calculated scheme is commendable; whether it be deities or spirits, they are most vulnerable when they first take form and cannot control the spiritual power within them. She intends to seize the dragon ball from Shao Huan during her transformation and then leave this place.

With a fierce glare, I grabbed it by the blade of grass and lifted it up, bringing it before me with a menacing demeanor, and said through clenched teeth, "Say that to me one more time!"

Otherwise, how could she have been so careless as to let her escape?

Emperor

After the revelry, I suddenly recalled the claw marks left on my back by the fox demon, causing a sharp pain that made my mouth twitch. I hurriedly tugged at the Emperor's sleeve. When he looked down, I quickly leaned in, intent on seeing my reflection in the Emperor's eyes.

As soon as the words were spoken, her originally merely torturous consciousness was suddenly pressed down like a giant mountain.

The fox demon let out a painful cry, loosening her grip on Yao Huan's hand. The area on her back that had been whipped felt as if it had split open, causing her right shoulder to lose all strength up to her arm in an instant

She desperately tried to pry the hand of the fox demon that was gripping her neck with her hands. After realizing that it was of no use, she became extremely angry, flicked her tail, released the tightly coiled Shenxing grass, and struck the fox demon that was holding onto her and the book without letting go.

She raised her pale face, not daring to meet the Emperor's gaze, only staring at the tips of his shoes, pleading for mercy word by word: "This little demon knows her mistake, I beg the Emperor for forgiveness"

She originally thought that the Emperor, who always took care of the little demon in the mountains, neither disliked nor would ever like the little demon. However, she was mistaken. It was only now that she understood that it was precisely because he protected her that he would not allow anyone to inflict even the slightest harm on this dragon

The whip that leads to mutual destruction clearly possesses considerable power

It seems to confirm that she is not seriously injured, as the Emperor casts a sidelong glance at the fox demon, who is currently forced to kneel on the ground under the pressure of the released divine consciousness. His cold brows and eyes instantly become even more severe

His brows and eyes were cold and piercing, resembling the pure white snow that falls in the depths of winter. As he quietly gazed at her, this body devoid of any spiritual power could not help but tremble slightly

Yao Huan, unable to see her own appearance clearly, anxiously asked him: "Your Majesty, do I look good?"

Has the wish to become beautiful really fallen through like this

However, she was completely devoid of spiritual power, and in the hands of the fox demon, she was as powerless as an ordinary mortal, easily manipulated at will

The sound of the dragon's roar was accompanied by an overwhelming dragon might, causing the entire mountain to tremble under this pressure

The transformed figure appeared to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with eyebrows resembling dark dye and a pair of eyes like exquisite glass, their clarity reflecting the water-like hue within her gaze, shimmering with brilliance. At this moment, she was waiting for his response, nervously pressing her lips together, their color a delicate pink. Her long hair, trailing on the ground like black satin, was gently blown by the wind, revealing her fair and tender rounded ears.

Although she usually acts tyrannically and commits numerous wrongdoings, those behaviors appear to the fox demon as mere childish temperaments. She thought that Yao Huan was truly foolish, yet unexpectedly, this dragon still possesses a bit of cleverness in times of crisis

Yao Huan was aware of the consequences that her voice could bring after condensing spiritual power. Even when she was angry on ordinary days, she would only let out a couple of howls to vent her frustration. If she were truly compelled to let out such a sound, it would undoubtedly mean that she was in danger

Yet, despite all the calculations and considerations, the joy of dancing was overlooked

Ah ah ah ah

She clicked her tongue twice, looking somewhat regretful as she touched the beautiful face of Yao Huan, saying, "Even the Emperor of the Four Seas being your master is nothing extraordinary."

Is it late

A roar of a dragon, infused with the last remnants of joy, startled the flock of birds. The gentle breeze, which had been leisurely weaving through the mountains and forests, came to a halt. With the cessation of the wind, the silence of the mountains and forests was further accentuated.

It is late

Not waiting for the Emperor's response, Yao Huan despondently flicked her tail and, in a fit of pique, sat down on the ground. She picked up small stones and threw them outside: "I am a dragon with a conscience. Your Majesty, you may return on your own; I will fend for myself."

She quickly got up, just as she was about to escape into the ground following the sound. The locust tree lowered its branches and gently patted her shoulder: "I just saw the Emperor pass by, you need not worry too much"

The orchid, still wrapped in her tail, chirped in frustration, "Damn it, is this really the time to be concerned about appearances?"

The fox demon could clearly feel that all the spiritual energy within her body was being suppressed to one point, and her meridians were bursting inch by inch. The agony of the ruptured meridians became unbearable, and she collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood

Like the ethereal charm nurtured by the mountains and forests, her exquisite features exude a sense of spirit, beautiful in a way that is both pure and ethereal

The tightly furrowed brows of the foggy mirror relaxed slightly, almost forgetting that there was such a great deity to rely on.

The sunlight penetrated through the clouds, as if it had swept away the dirt, leaving everything bright and refreshing
