Chapter 60: Meek with Foxes, Aggressive with Plants
[I will return to save you.]
“？？？？？？？？？？”
As she left, the cold, faintly resentful voice was clearly a soul wave from the Frost Snow Woman.
Even Saint-rank spirit beasts couldn’t speak human languages. They could only transmit their consciousness through their soul cores, which was then translated into language within the Spirit Master’s mind.
Save me?
Gong Lianyue was dumbfounded. Save her from what?
She was perfectly fine. If it weren’t for the Saint-rank battle, she would have already escaped the Wind Valley. There was nothing to save her from.
Poof!
Suddenly, the Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, radiating a terrifying aura, exploded, its blood scattering like pollen in the wind.
Within the swirling pink mist, a small, weakened fox fell from the sky.
So the Frost Snow Woman meant she would come back for her?
Then she would just leave the Wind Valley and hide in the Sea Concubine Palace! Let’s see what she could do then!!
Lost in thought, the blue-haired girl instinctively reached out to catch the falling fox.
If it were a real fox, she wouldn’t dare, but it was just a delicate little flower~~~
Swish—
Just as the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower was about to land in Gong Lianyue’s hands, a green vine suddenly shot out, intercepting it.
The glowing green vine quickly wrapped around the little fox, snatching it away.
“Who!?”
Gong Lianyue’s heart leaped into her throat as she turned sharply.
The green figure, who had previously fled, had returned. A green vine extending from her body had captured the little fox.
The Wrathful Saintess!
“Shhh”
Luo Kuxin put a finger to her lips and gently lowered the little fox to the ground.
Gong Lianyue’s expression turned puzzled. She had thought the woman was going to attack, but she had only caught the Cloud Dream Flower.
So she was a good person after all. She had misjudged her…
After placing the little fox on the ground, Luo Kuxin tried to release the vine, but it refused to let go, tightening its grip.
Drool dripped from the little fox’s mouth as it struggled, its face contorted in pain.
“What are you doing?” Gong Lianyue asked, exasperated.
“Don’t worry, this is how plant-type spirit beasts show affection.”
Luo Kuxin chuckled nervously, pulling on the vine like a tug-of-war, trying to detach it from the little fox.
But the vine, instead of obeying, rubbed itself against the little fox, leaving a trail of glistening drool.
“Slurp, slurp, slurp~~~”
“…”
Despite the bizarre behavior, Gong Lianyue was shocked to see the little fox’s weakened aura gradually recovering.
This green vine seemed to possess a strange magic, its mere presence revitalizing and energizing.
As the little fox regained its strength, it struggled harder, trying to escape the vine’s embrace.
The vine refused to let go, continuing its relentless licking.
A strange thought crossed Gong Lianyue’s mind.
“Could it be… that the little fox is actually popular among plant types…?”
A flower-fox hybrid, meek with foxes, aggressive with plants.
After a few minutes of this strange interaction, the green figure collapsed to the ground, panting. She couldn’t control her own spirit beast.
The little fox, with a look of resignation, simply let the green vine lick it.
“Strange, I thought you hated animal-type spirit beasts?”
Luo Kuxin sat on the ground, muttering to herself, puzzled.
Hearing her words, the green vine’s leaves swayed, forming a question mark in the air [?].
Luo Kuxin sighed and let it be.
Her gaze fell upon the small, pink fox wrapped in the vine, its slender body a picture of graceful curves.
Most striking were the crimson rings around its eyes, like fiery clouds, a stunning accent.
So this was the weakened form of that Weaver of the Sun, Bloodbath Fox…
After all, the Sorrowful Saintess was only at the Dawn and Dusk Stage. She couldn’t possibly maintain two Saint-rank spirit beasts simultaneously. Her soul core would collapse.
So, one of them had temporarily regressed to its juvenile form.
She hadn’t used the Variant Water Emperor this time. It seemed she had intended to quickly resolve the battle with the more powerful Bloodbath Fox, but the enemy had escaped.
This woman… had actually hidden the fact that she had two Saint-ranks…
Truly terrifying…
“Sorrowful Saintess, I’ve restored her energy. Can we go after the Frost Snow Woman now?” Luo Kuxin asked, turning to the blue-haired girl, a hint of apprehension in her eyes.
Gong Lianyue was amazed. In less than five minutes, the Cloud Dream Flower, exhausted after its transformation, had fully recovered.
That strange green vine, even more bizarre than the Frost Snow Woman… was it the legendary Misty Heart Lotus?
Even a Saint-rank spirit beast was infatuated with it. It seemed the Cloud Dream Flower was a breathtaking beauty among plants.
Yet, it remained unmoved, still determined to marry a fox.
“Are you listening?”
Snapped out of her thoughts by the second call, Gong Lianyue’s heart tightened.
It was fortunate the Frost Snow Woman hadn’t come looking for her. Going after her now seemed suicidal.
Maintaining a calm facade, she asked coldly, “Then why did you run away just now?”
“I-I-I… I couldn’t help it! My… my grass was scared! You… you were too terrifying! And you didn’t warn me beforehand!”
“It won’t happen again! I’ll help this time!!!” Luo Kuxin stammered.
This shameless woman…
Gong Lianyue’s gaze shifted from the green figure to the listless little fox slumped beside her.
A crimson flame pattern had appeared on the Cloud Dream Flower’s face, seemingly a side effect of the hidden technique [Possessing the Divine].
Before this, she wouldn’t have dared to go after the Frost Snow Woman.
But now, the little fox was fully recovered and had awakened Possessing the Divine. Even without the Tyrant Blood Pill and Life Fruits, it should be able to replicate the Bloodbath Fox’s aura, right?!
