Chapter 473 - 444: The Little Fox Longing to Be Devoured

"Come here."

The Beauty Clan Leader reached out a hand towards Tu Jiujiu, trying her best to suppress her anger.

However, Tu Jiujiu shook her little head like a rattle, her arms tightly wrapped around Qin Yu’s hand, so much so that she unknowingly engulfed his arm without realizing it.

The hand of the Beauty Clan Leader trembled slightly in mid-air. This foolish fox, why can’t she distinguish between good and bad?

Could she not see that the tail of this Human was almost wagging up to the sky?

And yet, they are so close!

It was enough to make her utterly furious!

What surprised the Beauty Clan Leader was that Qin Yu actually seemed to be somewhat protective of the little fox, standing across from her.

Did this guy really think he could stop her?!

Of course.

The Beauty Clan Leader didn’t know that within the Lifebound Space, Qin Yu was the Dominator of this realm.

Not only was he not afraid of her making a move, but he was even... somewhat anticipating it!

The Beauty Clan Leader was speechless, glancing around, taking everything in at once.

For some reason, she surprisingly felt like she was the only outsider here...

The corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly.

It indeed seemed that way, even the little fox had become one of them.

The Beauty Clan Leader really couldn’t understand, wasn’t the little fox supposed to interact with and observe this Human to find a way to survive the Celestial Tribulation?

What had happened, how did it turn out this way?

Moreover, why did this Human dare to stand before her, what was his reliance?

If not for the presence of his few Dao Companions and the little traitorous fox, she would have whipped this audacious Human with her tail thirty-six thousand times.

Whipping him until he was covered in wounds, making him clearly recognize himself.

"Are you really not coming over?"

The Beauty Clan Leader felt conflicted, taking a deep breath, the tone full of threat.

"No."

Tu Jiujiu answered without hesitation, perhaps worried about hurting the Beauty Clan Leader’s feelings, she paused and said, "I... I’ll play for a little longer, then come out to find you."

"No, now! Immediately! Come with me!"

The Beauty Clan Leader was almost about to laugh with anger.

This foolish fox, how could she not see through her intentions?

Still wanting to play longer, she must be dreaming!

"But, but..."

The little fox was very troubled, she loved clinging to Brother Qin Yu’s side, and loved it here.

The Beauty Clan Leader’s eyebrows furrowed, already running out of patience.

As the only six-tailed born in the Qingqiu Race over thousands of years, how could she be so playful?

Didn’t she know, being a six-tailed meant she was destined to bear the responsibilities of the Qingqiu Race?

She should be spending more time on cultivation, not play!

"Eh?"

Suddenly, the Beauty Clan Leader’s expression changed again.

Cultivation!

The cultivation of this foolish fox seemed... off?

The fluctuations in Tu Jiujiu’s aura had obvious changes, although there was no breakthrough in Realm, judging from the aura, it was at least equivalent to a year’s hard cultivation in the clan land!

How was this possible?!

Tu Jiujiu had only left her for two or three days, how could there be such a big change?

Even in the Ancestral Land, even with her supervision, the little fox’s cultivation was like fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, wanting progress like this would require at least one or two years of cultivation.

The Beauty Clan Leader felt there was a need to perceive Tu Jiujiu’s situation well, she spoke in a calm manner, "You, come with me."

"Well... can we not go back?"

Tu Jiujiu asked with apprehension, weakly.

The Beauty Clan Leader sighed, she realized that no matter what, the little fox wouldn’t follow her today.

However, she also wanted to understand the changes in the little fox.

She immediately glared at Tu Jiujiu, snorted coldly, signaling her to follow, and then walked away slowly.

"Go ahead."

Qin Yu gently patted Tu Jiujiu, indicating.

He felt that Tu Jiujiu’s older sister was no longer as tough as before.

Could it be, it was because she felt hurt for being treated as an outsider by Tu Jiujiu?

Ugh...

In reflection, he seemed to be the instigator.

Gazing at the somewhat lonely, graceful silhouette, Qin Yu suddenly felt a bit guilty, should he perhaps...

Offer some comfort?

After all, they are sisters, shouldn’t favor one over the other.

Ahem!

"Brother Qin Yu, can you stay with me?"

Tu Jiujiu still tightly held Qin Yu’s arm, whether it was reluctance or fear of the Beauty Clan Leader scolding her.

Not far away, the Beauty Clan Leader’s footsteps paused slightly.

"Jiujiu, listen."

Qin Yu’s body moved slightly away, gesturing for Tu Jiujiu to follow her sister.

Seeing this, Tu Jiujiu hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to cautiously follow, looking back every few steps.

"Alas..."

The Beauty Clan Leader walked quite a distance, seeing the pitiful little fox trailing behind her at a respectful distance, and finally couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Tu Jiujiu didn’t notice the Beauty Clan Leader in front of her stopped suddenly, and accidentally bumped into her chest, almost getting knocked off balance by the broad embrace.

"Clan Leader, I’m sorry."

Tu Jiujiu covered her forehead and said quietly.

The Beauty Clan Leader snorted coldly, didn’t say much else, just reached out a hand to gently place on the little fox’s head.

"Buzz..."

The next moment, a crimson glow surged forth, enveloping the little fox.

"Could it really be such a significant improvement?!"

A hint of surprise flickered in the Beauty Clan Leader’s eyes. After a thorough examination, she was now sure that the little fox’s cultivation had indeed improved by a small margin.

Yet, given her understanding of Tu Jiujiu, even with daily urging, this little girl always remained lackadaisical about cultivation; without her supervision, how could this little fox possibly take cultivation seriously?

Moreover, it had only been two or three days since they last met, and even if she cultivated diligently day and night, it would be impossible to improve this much.

"What happened with your cultivation?"

The Beauty Clan Leader was filled with bewilderment, asking directly.

"Cultivation?"

The little fox had a guilty look in her eyes; could it be that the Clan Leader discovered she had been slacking?

"I’m asking why your cultivation has suddenly improved so much?"

The Beauty Clan Leader’s lovely eyes bore both a hint of reproach and a touch of humor as she looked directly at the little fox.

"It improved?"

The little fox looked clueless, completely unaware, mumbling, "I don’t know either."

"What have you been doing these past few days?"

The little fox, Tu Jiujiu, tilted her head in thought, then honestly replied, "I... actually didn’t do anything special. When Brother Qin Yu had time, I was with him; if he wasn’t around, I played with Shuishui and the others."

After speaking, her lively eyes looked at the Clan Leader, full of pure innocence.

The Beauty Clan Leader was silent for a while, with every word revealing an element of "play."

She knew this was Tu Jiujiu’s true nature.

But how could playful days lead to such a rapid improvement in cultivation?

"Is it because of Brother Qin Yu? Every time I’m with him, I feel especially comfortable."

Tu Jiujiu thought for a moment and said.

Of course, she didn’t mention using the Fox Pearl.

"Him?"

The Beauty Clan Leader frowned slightly, suddenly remembering her interaction with Qin Yu before entering this space.

At that time, she was extremely resistant, her skin crawling, and did not even try to feel what the little fox had described.

However, in this space, she did feel that since accepting the inheritance, her long-dormant cultivation seemed to have loosened a bit.

Could it be... because of this space?

No wonder the little fox was unwilling to leave.

"Clan Leader, let me stay with Brother Qin Yu a little longer, please. You’ve seen it, Jiujiu’s cultivation grows really fast here."

Seeing her expression soften, Tu Jiujiu seized the moment, using her usual tactic of acting spoiled, shaking her hand endlessly.

Hearing her constantly refer to "Brother Qin Yu," the Beauty Clan Leader felt a pang in her heart.

She could see that staying here does benefit Tu Jiujiu’s cultivation. Otherwise, with just a junior cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, how could he possibly prevent her from taking the little fox away?

Seeing Tu Jiujiu’s anxious appearance, as if she would immediately fly back to Qin Yu’s side, the Beauty Clan Leader felt a surge of sourness in her heart.

Gone for just a little while, and she’s already so eager, so inseparable from that human junior cultivator?

The Beauty Clan Leader hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke slowly, "Jiujiu, some things... it’s time you learned."

"What?"

Tu Jiujiu looked puzzled, staring at her in confusion.

"Your Brother Qin Yu, he is of the Human Race, you... shouldn’t be too close to him..."

The Beauty Clan Leader warned with a serious expression.

"Why?"

Tu Jiujiu was even more confused, remembering clearly that when leaning against Brother Qin Yu, it felt really comfortable.

That kind of feeling is indescribable.

"He’s male, of course, you can’t get too close! Besides, our Qingqiu Race is different from the Human Race, we can only have one partner in our lifetime."

The Beauty Clan Leader lightly chided.

Tu Jiujiu was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her little head and said earnestly, "If it’s Brother Qin Yu, it’s okay."

"Jiujiu, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten my previous warnings and advice?" The Beauty Clan Leader spoke with a hint of anxiety, her expression becoming exceptionally stern.

"The Human Race is very terrifying; they will devour you, leaving not even your bones!"

She described it vividly, even gesturing with her hands, trying to depict the horrors of the Human Race in the most vivid way.

However, there wasn’t a trace of fear on the little fox’s face; instead, a hint of excitement rose in her clear and beautiful eyes.

Looking at the innocent and radiant little fox, the Beauty Clan Leader’s silence... was deafening!

"Clan Leader, how can Brother Qin Yu do that to me?"

Seeing the Beauty Clan Leader suddenly pause, Tu Jiujiu felt a little disappointed and couldn’t help but ask proactively.

The Beauty Clan Leader closed her eyes.

She took deep breaths, constantly calming her mind.

Indeed!

If she had come in any later, this silly little fox might have given herself away for free!
