The prince's negotiations were, as expected, met with a token compensation from the Zi Wei clan, which easily appeased him.
Though the elves felt insulted, Yun Fan saw this as the desired outcome.
This maneuver completely dispelled the Zi Wei clan's suspicions about the elves.
At this point, Yun Fan was also nearing his departure.
If he stayed, it would give the Zi Wei clan a pretext, putting him in a disadvantageous position and even endangering the elves.
Several people then came to see Yun Fan off.
"Yun Fan, take care on your journey!" the Queen said to him.
Yun Fan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. The decisive battle between the Zi Wei clan and the Holy Light clan is about to begin. When that happens, your elven tribe will be completely free from danger!"
"We have you to thank for this. You are the savior of our elven tribe!" the Prince expressed his gratitude to Yun Fan.
Without Yun Fan, they would have faced the Holy Light clan's invasion, their fate uncertain.
"It's a small matter!" Yun Fan replied, "By the time I return, the Holy Light clan will be nothing."
"Mmm!"
They had unwavering faith in Yun Fan's strength. Though he might seem like a novice now, upon his return, he would undoubtedly stand tall among the heavens.
Following this, the Queen and the Prince departed.
Two radiant beauties remained. They had intended to leave with Yun Fan but, after careful consideration, decided to stay and await his return.
After all, Yun Fan's journey was uncertain, and though they could assist him, their own considerable strength was a factor.
However, their presence alongside Yun Fan would increase his visibility. In this era where Zhentian beings were reviled, remaining with Yun Fan would be more beneficial than him venturing out alone.
After another day and night of passionate engagement, the two women, thoroughly conquered by Yun Fan, reluctantly watched him depart.
"Young master, we will await your return!"
***
Meanwhile, the Zi Wei clan and the Holy Light clan were on the brink of war. Two elders of the Zi Wei clan were interrogating Sama.
Sama was exasperated. He hadn't expected the Zi Wei clan to escalate things to this degree.
"Angel Sama, not only have you harbored a fugitive of our Zi Wei clan, but you have also slain one of our first-rank heavenly prodigies. How do you bird-people intend to resolve this?"
"Indeed! To think that you birds dare to oppose our Zi Wei clan. Such arrogance is beyond measure!"
The two incessantly referred to Sama as a "bird-person," a blatant insult.
However, Sama could do nothing. He could only endure their insults, as two other powerful figures had warned him to prioritize peace.
What Sama found most unfair was that he had been unaware of everything from the start and yet had provoked the Zi Wei clan.
He felt utterly wronged. If not for this incident, he would have already led his forces to subjugate the elves.
Now, their attack on the elves would have to wait until this matter was resolved.
"Elders, I hope we can resolve this matter peacefully today!" Sama stated, his resolve wavering.
"Peaceful resolution?" one elder inquired, "Then tell us, how do you propose to resolve it?"
Sama replied, "From today onward, the Holy Light clan will cede a quarter of our territory to the Zi Wei clan, and we will also provide sufficient compensation in terms of resources!"
Upon hearing this, one of the Zi Wei clan elders scoffed, "In terms of territory, our Zi Wei clan already possesses vast lands. As for resources, can your bird-people's resources even compare to ours? Do not insult the Zi Wei clan!"
Clearly, the two elders were highly dissatisfied with this offer, their eyes filled with disdain.
Sama was enraged. How could these individuals be so unreasonable?
Yet, given the circumstances, he had no other recourse.
If it came to a fight, their three Saint Emperor level experts could indeed defeat these two elders. With three against two, their chances of victory were high.
However, if this truly alerted the entire Zi Wei clan, the Holy Light clan would undoubtedly be annihilated, albeit at a considerable cost to the Zi Wei clan.
But for the Holy Light clan, it would mean vanishing from the annals of history, a price too steep to pay.
It was unfeasible. Even at their peak, the Holy Light clan had not dared to confront them directly, let alone now.
"So, what kind of compensation do you desire?" Sama asked.
At this juncture, even though it wasn't his fault, he had to concede. If not for that idiot Zi Chuan's audacity within the Holy Light clan, none of this would have transpired.
The two Zi Wei elders exchanged glances and immediately named an exorbitant price: "The compensation we seek is not much at all; we only desire one hundred thousand years of your cultivation!"
Sama almost fainted upon hearing this. One hundred thousand years was not much? What would constitute a lot then? Did they expect him to sacrifice his life?
Without one hundred thousand years of cultivation, though he would remain a Saint Emperor, he would undoubtedly become the weakest among them.
He would even be inferior to the Elven Queen.
"One hundred thousand years is too much; at most, one thousand years!" Sama countered.
Currently, their two most powerful figures were in seclusion, and he needed to retain sufficient strength to annihilate the elves and enslave them.
If he were to relinquish one hundred thousand years of cultivation, he would be incapable of completing the subjugation of the elves.
In that case, the elves would continue to survive for many more years.
The Holy Light clan would have suffered both loss and humiliation.
"Sama, you have no room for negotiation!" a Zi Wei elder stated, "Choose between your life and one hundred thousand years of cultivation!"
One hundred thousand years of cultivation was sufficient to nurture two first-rank heavenly prodigies. If these prodigies possessed exceptional talent, nurturing two would not be an issue.
However, if their talent was mediocre, pouring one hundred thousand years of cultivation into them would yield no prodigies.
Of course, this was secondary. Most importantly, with this one hundred thousand years of cultivation, perhaps Zi Xuan's losses could be compensated.
If Zi Xuan could refine this cultivation, she might have a chance to recover. Therefore, they were not acting for themselves but for Zi Xuan.
At this, Sama angrily exclaimed, "Elders, do not push your luck too far! If you truly corner the Holy Light clan, beware of our retaliation!"
He would absolutely not agree to forfeit one hundred thousand years of his cultivation.
At this, one of the Zi Wei elders stepped forward and approached him.
"Come, if you have the ability, strike now. I guarantee I will not resist!" The other party was aggressively provoking Sama.
Sama was utterly annoyed. He wondered if all Zi Wei clan members were this unreasonable.
If he hadn't known they were toying with him, he might have been tempted to strike and eliminate a lower-level Saint Emperor.
However, resistance was impossible. Frankly, they were attempting to lure him into a trap.
Sama, ultimately, held back and did not attack.
With a final decision, Sama gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree!"
"That's more like it!" The two elders' eyes gleamed.
"If not for the fact that we are all among the Four Great Clans, I would have taken your life today!" the two elders declared with amusement.
Acquiring one hundred thousand years of cultivation for Zi Xuan was far more valuable than nurturing two first-rank heavenly prodigies.
It was even more valuable than nurturing ten first-rank heavenly prodigies.
After all, their clan leader intended to cultivate Zi Xuan into a being who surpassed the Saint Emperor level.
At this realm, not only now but even in the past, there was no precedent.
No one had ever surpassed the Saint Emperor level in the Great Thousand World.
Only in the Primordial Immortal Realm could such beings be found.
Even the strongest being in the Great Thousand World, the vanished Patriarch of the Zhentian clan, had only reached the peak of the Saint Emperor realm.
In this era, the Zi Wei clan had finally produced someone with the potential to surpass the Saint Emperor level, and that was Zi Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan had intervened. The Zi Wei clan's hope was shattered, making it understandable why they held such animosity towards Yun Fan.
Now, with this one hundred thousand years of cultivation, perhaps Zi Xuan's losses could be compensated.
Subsequently, the two elders personally extracted Sama's one hundred thousand years of cultivation.
After his cultivation was extracted, Sama collapsed to the ground. Undoubtedly, although his realm remained Saint Emperor, he was now the weakest in that realm. This was no exaggeration.
He could not even defeat the Elven Queen, who did not cultivate offensive techniques. His plan to attack the elves was completely in ruins.
He thought that by sacrificing one hundred thousand years of cultivation, these two harbingers of doom would leave.
However, as it stood, the two elders showed no intention of departing.
"Are you not leaving yet?" Sama asked coldly, his anger palpable.
One of the elders replied, "We can leave, but there is still one matter to be settled!"
"What matter?" Sama inquired, confused.
"You are harboring a fugitive of our Zi Wei clan. Hand over the fugitive now, and we will depart immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Sama's vision darkened, and he almost collapsed.
"There is no such person. If you don't believe me, search yourselves!" He desperately wanted to know who this Yun Fan truly was. He vowed that if given the chance, he would never let him off.
Unbeknownst to him, Yun Fan had already crossed paths with him, but he didn't connect the dots at that moment.
After all, in his mind, if Yun Fan were with the elves, Zi Chuan wouldn't have dared to act so presumptuously within the Holy Light clan.
"If there is no such person, then more compensation will suffice!" the two elders declared disdainfully.
They had obtained one hundred thousand years of cultivation for Zi Xuan, but they couldn't return empty-handed. They couldn't possibly demand benefits from Zi Xuan herself. Despite being Saint Emperors, their status was not higher than Zi Xuan's.
If they were to ask Zi Xuan for benefits, their clan leader would not spare them. Therefore, they decided to extract their "benefits" from Sama.
"What further benefits do you desire?" Sama roared. Even if he were to summon the other two Saint Emperor level experts from his clan, they could not defeat these two.
His current strength was a mere façade; he could only recover gradually, and it was uncertain how long that would take.
"The benefits we seek are not much; just a third of the Holy Light clan's accumulated resources would suffice!"
Sama almost fainted again. He had truly witnessed that the Zi Wei clan was no good; they were more like bandits compared to the Holy Light clan.
But at this point, he had no choice. Resignedly, he handed over a third of the Holy Light clan's resources to the two elders, finally managing to see them off.
"They were quite compliant, weren't they!" remarked one of the elders.
"When we need resources again someday, we'll come back for more!"
"Good idea!"
Watching the arrogant departure of the two elders, Sama cursed, "Old scoundrels, you've gone too far! Sooner or later, I'll shit on your Zi Wei clan!"
At this, his subordinate asked, "My lord, shall we continue with the attack on the elves?"
As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, Sama struck him down with a single blow.
What a joke! With his current strength, if he were to seek retribution from the elves, he would gain no advantage and would likely be defeated outright.
***
Meanwhile, Yun Fan had already left the elven territory.
As his presence completely faded from perception, the Lord of the Forest stated, "It seems he has resolved his calamity and departed!"
The Lord of the Forest had been secretly observing Yun Fan, and had Yun Fan faced irreparable danger, he would not have stood idly by.
Now that Yun Fan was beyond his sensory range, the Lord of the Forest returned to his slumber.
For once Yun Fan was outside this range, his fate was no longer his concern.
At this moment, within the Zi Wei clan.
When the two elders presented the one hundred thousand years of cultivation, the clan leader believed Zi Xuan would be overjoyed.
Although her purity was lost and her talent damaged, with this one hundred thousand years of cultivation, apart from her lost purity, her damaged talent could be fully restored, perhaps even enhanced.
However, he discovered that Zi Xuan remained dejected.
"Zi Xuan, why are you still so crestfallen?" the clan leader asked, perplexed.
Zi Xuan replied, "Father, you did not capture the boy who stole my purity!"
At this point, Zi Xuan harbored a deep-seated hatred for Yun Fan.
Previously, she knew Yun Fan was also a victim, so while she hated him, it wasn't to the extent of wanting him dismembered.
What truly ignited her rage was the scheming Void Ancestor.
After returning her, the Void Ancestor visited her again.
He told her that everything was a plan between him and Yun Fan, and that Yun Fan was his good disciple, his personal disciple.
Therefore, if Yun Fan desired any beauty, he would unhesitatingly seize her for Yun Fan's enjoyment.
Zi Xuan was naturally one of the beauties Yun Fan desired, so she was the first one he captured.
This fabricated truth sent Zi Xuan into a complete fury, and she vowed to kill Yun Fan.
At any cost.
Of course, she was unaware that the Void Ancestor had merely said this to escalate the conflict.
After all, Yun Fan had been active for so long yet had achieved nothing significant nor made a name for himself.
Thus, he decided to give Yun Fan a helping hand.
Zi Xuan also wanted to have nothing to do with the Void Ancestor. If the Void Ancestor hadn't taken her, she wouldn't have lost her purity to Yun Fan.
However, the Void Ancestor was too cunning; her father's single strike instantly killed the Void Ancestor, but unfortunately, it was merely a clone.
"Rest assured, although this boy was lucky to escape, our Zi Wei clan will set a net and apprehend him!" the clan leader promised Zi Xuan.
Zi Xuan was his daughter and the hope of the Zi Wei clan's future. Therefore, he would fulfill any request she had.
The most important thing now was to alleviate Zi Xuan's psychological trauma.
At this, Zi Xuan said, "Father, you don't need to worry. Once I refine this one hundred thousand years of cultivation, I will personally emerge and kill him!"
This was Zi Xuan's current stance.
She was determined to kill Yun Fan herself to resolve her inner torment. Especially when she recalled the scenes of her defilement by Yun Fan, her rage would surge, nearly leading to her death several times.
The clan leader nodded, "Good! It might be more effective if you handle this yourself!"
"Mmm!"
Zi Xuan nodded and then began to refine the one hundred thousand years of cultivation.
***
Martial Soul Hall.
Since that incident, Mu Qingxian had been listless, losing her appetite. While her talent was not as exceptional as Zi Xuan's, she possessed the potential to become a Saint Emperor in the future. For the Martial Soul Hall, any Saint Emperor was sufficient.
After all, the Martial Soul Hall was not one of the Four Great Clans; its foundation and strength lagged far behind. Only the Hall Master was a Saint Emperor-level expert.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Martial Soul Hall, Mu Qingxian was naturally the focus of their cultivation efforts.
Alas, after that incident, Mu Qingxian had become this way. She was, after all, the most beautiful woman!
Currently, within the Martial Soul Hall, though outwardly no one dared to speak, discussions about her were rampant behind her back.
Mu Qingxian was under immense psychological pressure. As for hating Yun Fan, she didn't at the moment.
If, one day, Yun Fan did not come to propose marriage, she would be very angry and even want to kill him.
But her current greatest concern was whether Yun Fan had escaped the Void Ancestor's clutches.
After she was sent away, she had no information about Yun Fan's condition.
At this moment, the Hall Master arrived.
"Qingxian, why have you been so listless lately? Master does not blame you; it was not your fault. I hope you can let go of everything and rouse yourself!"
On that day, when the Void Ancestor came to abduct her, he had been injured. Of course, the Void Ancestor's true strength was formidable.
Even he was no match for him. The reason he had injured the Void Ancestor that day was that the Void Ancestor had not resisted, only taken the person.
Alas, despite exerting all his efforts that day, he could not retrieve his disciple.
Although Mu Qingxian said nothing upon her return, everyone already knew that her purity was gone.
As the most beautiful woman, losing her purity was a matter of widespread mockery.
Mu Qingxian asked, "Master, he was also innocent. If one day he comes to propose marriage, will you allow me to marry him?"
"Disciple, he is not worthy of you. Even if he possessed you, you would have more outstanding individuals awaiting you. If he appears, I will surely kill him!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingxian quickly replied, "Since I am already his person, I acknowledge him!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master knew that once Mu Qingxian set her mind on someone, she would not change. He had nothing more to say.
"This Void Ancestor has truly caused much harm. Sooner or later, I will unite with other powerful individuals to completely eliminate him!"
The ultimate culprit was the Void Ancestor.
At this, Mu Qingxian said, "Master, his strength is immense. Let's not dwell on that for now. I only wish to know if he has escaped!"
"Master cannot know this either, as I have no trace of this boy's aura. I cannot deduce whether this boy is still alive!" the Hall Master said helplessly.
At this, Mu Qingxian stated, "Master, I need to go out for a while!"
"Go out for a while?" the Hall Master was surprised by Mu Qingxian's decision, which exceeded his expectations.
"Mmm, mmm!" Mu Qingxian replied, "Staying in the Martial Soul Hall, I only hear rumors all day. Why not go out for a while and completely dispel this shadow!"
"Very well!" The Hall Master said to Mu Qingxian, "Disciple, I will grant you three divine powers. These three powers are mine. If you encounter danger, these three powers will be your safeguard!"
"Mmm, mmm! Thank you, Master!" Mu Qingxian expressed her gratitude.
Subsequently, she left the Martial Soul Hall, deciding to venture out and explore.
***
One day, Yun Fan arrived at an unknown location. According to the general route on the map, it was a considerable distance from the Martial Soul Hall, but at least it was in that general direction.
After all, the Great Thousand World was vast, and even maps could not encompass everything. The map only indicated the directions of the Four Great Clans.
This was the advantage of powerful clans; even maps only contained their records.
After completely refining Sakar Angel's power, Yun Fan broke through to the third realm of the Saint King.
Several months later, Yun Fan emerged from seclusion. At this point, he was already at the peak of the Saint King realm.
While this strength was not particularly remarkable in the Great Thousand World, in the universe, it could easily destroy an entire planet.
At this moment, Yun Fan hummed a tune and slowed his pace. There were no pursuers, and he had no need to be wary of anyone.
This was undoubtedly the most carefree and relaxed period he had experienced since arriving in the Great Thousand World.
Just then, a white spirit fox suddenly rushed towards him and landed in his arms, trembling.
"What is going on?" Yun Fan asked, confused. However, out of kindness, he took the spirit fox with him. Little did he know that at this very moment, a troop of people suddenly arrived.
"Boy, release the spirit fox!" the leader threatened Yun Fan.
Seeing this, Yun Fan said, "This prey is mine. Why should I release the spirit fox?"
Upon hearing this, the leader coldly stated, "This spirit fox is prey I have stalked for years. If you do not hand it over, I will kill you!"
With that, his men surrounded Yun Fan.
Yun Fan remained unfazed, as the strength of these individuals was not high. The strongest among them, the leader, was only at the peak of the Saint King realm.
At the peak of the Saint King realm, he could easily defeat them without even deploying his puppets.
Thus, Yun Fan said, "What if I don't?"
"Die!" A group of people immediately attacked Yun Fan but were easily repelled by him.
Finally, the leader personally intervened, intending to deal with Yun Fan.
However, he ultimately underestimated Yun Fan's strength.
Though the lightning on his person was formidable, Yun Fan repelled him with a single move.
*Bang!*
After one strike, the man spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Incapable of withstanding a single blow!" Yun Fan ignored him and turned to leave.
However, the man did not pursue. Instead, he showed a hint of relief.
After Yun Fan rescued the spirit fox, he found it to be extremely weak. Yun Fan then infused it with power, and the spirit fox slowly began to recover.
"What a beautiful fox!" Even Yun Fan was stunned by its appearance. If, one day, he had swept away all his enemies, wouldn't it be wonderful to keep such a pet?
For now, he had to focus on himself. In fact, Yun Fan felt that he himself could become prey at any moment.
"Little fox, let's go! You are safe now!" Yun Fan placed the little fox on the ground, and it immediately turned and disappeared into the jungle.
At this moment, Yun Fan found a place to rest. Although his strength had reached this level, even without sleep for a thousand years, it would have no effect.
However, having just emerged from a serious and somber environment, sleeping now was a way to relax his body.
He then lay down in place and fell asleep.
He slept for an unknown duration. When he opened his eyes, he found a woman dressed in white mink fur lying beside him.
This woman was exceptionally beautiful, exuding an alluring and captivating charm.
At this moment, Yun Fan felt not much astonishment, but rather shock and apprehension. Although he was asleep, it did not mean he was without guard. To think that this woman lay less than five meters away, and he had not detected her.
It completely exceeded his expectations.
"Who are you?" Yun Fan asked coldly. He would not be swayed by her beauty, nor would he show her any pleasantries.
The woman replied, "My name is Bai Hu!"
"Bai Hu?" Just as Yun Fan was pondering, she quickly and charmingly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, young master, for saving my life yesterday. I can never repay your great kindness, so I can only serve by your side!"
"So you are yesterday's fox!" Yun Fan realized instantly.
"Mmm, mmm!" She said to Yun Fan, "If you hadn't saved me, I would have already perished!"
"A mere trifle, nothing to mention!" Yun Fan asked, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why have you returned?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hu began to sob, "My family is already dead. Where else can I go? As long as young master does not dislike me, I will follow you!"
"Even if it means being a beast of burden, I am willing!" Yun Fan did not agree to such a favorable proposition, stating directly, "There's no need. Hurry and leave! I still have to travel!"
What a joke! He would not travel around with a woman; that was not his style.
However, Bai Hu said, "If young master wishes to send me away, he may. But I must repay your kindness before I leave!"
"Alright! How do you wish to repay me?" Yun Fan was somewhat exasperated.
Bai Hu replied, "I wish to repay your life-saving grace with my body!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan froze. Were women so open these days? Offering their bodies as repayment for every little thing.
This was a joke! How could he be such a casual person? Therefore, Yun Fan stated directly, "There's no need. Truly, there's no need to repay me!"
With that, he prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Bai Hu blocked his path and said to Yun Fan, "Young master, you cannot simply leave without accepting my repayment. It's not that easy!"
"Oh! Damn it!" Yun Fan was defeated. How could there be such forceful repayment? He would not agree.
Therefore, he directly warned, "Stop messing around, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Is that so?" Bai Hu smiled seductively, "If young master truly intends to do so, I would welcome it!"
"Seeking death!" Yun Fan was enraged and prepared to teach Bai Hu a lesson. However, at this very moment, a glimmer of light flashed in Bai Hu's eyes.
Instantly, Yun Fan felt dizzy and then fainted.
When he woke up again, he assumed he had been taken advantage of. When he checked his clothes, he found them intact. This meant he was still safe.
This immediately brought a hint of disappointment to Yun Fan. Bah! It should be a hint of joy. As long as his purity was preserved, it was fine.
At this moment, Bai Hu stood opposite Yun Fan.
"Young master, you're awake!" she said alluringly.
"You good-for-nothing white fox! I saved you, and yet you repay kindness with enmity. Today, let's see how I deal with you!" With that, Yun Fan decisively attacked. Now, no matter what, he had to teach her a lesson. However, as soon as he attacked, he discovered that his body seemed beyond his control, unable to move forward.
Even though he was only 0.01 centimeters away from Bai Hu, he could not advance a single step.
Bai Hu said disdainfully, "Young master, don't have such a short temper!" With that, she punched Yun Fan. Yun Fan felt as if his bones were about to shatter.
"So strong!" At this moment, he realized that Bai Hu's strength was far from simple. She was extremely powerful.
Much stronger than him. He had never expected to misjudge someone.
"No, if your strength is so great, why were you treated as prey by those people?" Yun Fan reacted first and asked Bai Hu.
Bai Hu replied disdainfully, "Do they even have the qualifications to treat me as prey? You're overthinking it!"
"What do you mean?" Yun Fan's eyes held deep confusion.
"Since it's come to this, I won't hide it from you. Actually, they all come from the Central Continent Dynasty!" Regarding this dynasty, Yun Fan had some knowledge. It was a very powerful dynasty, ranking first tier beneath the Four Great Clans.
Their emperor also possessed Saint Emperor level cultivation.
"And then?" Yun Fan pressed.
Bai Hu continued, "I controlled the entire Central Continent Dynasty and seized their destiny. However, recently, the old awakened ones of the Central Continent Dynasty used the national destiny to fight me. Ultimately, I defeated them, but I was also heavily injured and reverted to my original form, escaping. I never expected to encounter you!"
"Fortunately, those who were chasing me were under my control, so they had no chance to kill me. As for coming to your side, that was naturally my personal decision!" After her explanation, Yun Fan finally understood the reason.
At this, he asked Bai Hu, "For you, controlling the Central Continent Dynasty must be exhilarating. Why are you clinging to me?" This was Yun Fan's greatest puzzle.
Bai Hu replied, "Because your charm is greater than that of the Central Continent Dynasty!"
"What do you mean by that?" Yun Fan looked at her, puzzled.
She explained, "Because you exude an extraordinary aura. Originally, with my injuries, I would not have been able to recover my human form for a hundred years. But due to a power from you, I recovered my human form overnight. Although my strength has not recovered, it is enough!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan said, "Don't overthink it. It was probably just a coincidence!"
"Where are there so many coincidences?" Bai Hu scoffed, "I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I have never encountered such a coincidence! You are the best tool to help me recover my strength!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan asked in shock, "How strong were you at your peak?"
"Of course, Saint Emperor!" she directly revealed her true strength.
"So, you intend to abandon a dynasty to control me?" Yun Fan directly asked the crucial question.
"Yes!" Bai Hu smiled mischievously, "After all, you are far more beneficial than a dynasty!"
Yun Fan knew he had gotten into trouble. This fox was not easily dealt with.
At this, Ling Jing envoy said to Yun Fan, "She is a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. In their prime, this race could control the peak experts of the Primordial Immortal Realm. You must resolve this, otherwise, you will be controlled by her for the rest of your life!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Being controlled for his entire life? What a joke.
Thus, he said to Bai Hu, "Can you not control me? After all, I also helped you. Wouldn't it be better if we were friends?" At this moment, he was preparing to negotiate with Bai Hu.
But Bai Hu replied, "Of course I will control you. After all, you are my pet. Naturally, you are the first pet. As long as you behave well and satisfy me, I guarantee you will be the last pet!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan wanted to curse. He had no intention of being a pet.
Therefore, he cautiously asked, "How strong are you now? If you are too strong, I probably won't be able to help you much!"
Bai Hu said, "I am currently only a Saint Sovereign. There will be many things you will help me with in the future. For now, I just want to study what is special about you!"
"That's fine. If you want to study, then study. I can only obey you for now. If I perform well one day, I hope you will let me go!"
"Alright! Unless your performance satisfies me!" Bai Hu sneered. Becoming her pet and then expecting her to let him go? How could that be possible?
At this moment, Yun Fan had already prepared a plan: to release his puppets and instantly kill Bai Hu when she lowered her guard.
After all, this was his only chance to escape, and he would not let it slip away.
As expected, Yun Fan found his opportunity that very night.
Before Bai Hu could finish her research, Yun Fan directly summoned his puppet, preparing to instantly kill her.
However, just as he was about to summon his puppet, he felt a searing pain.
"Ugh!" Yun Fan let out a muffled groan. This sudden accident had truly caught him off guard.
*Puff!* In the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Hu said disdainfully, "Since I have controlled you, do you think I wouldn't know your thoughts? I have already predicted your intentions!"
Yun Fan was extremely frustrated. He had wondered how Bai Hu could have predicted this. It turned out his plan had been exposed long ago.
At this, Bai Hu grabbed his neck and said with a fierce expression, "As a pet, you should act like one. This time I'll give you a chance. Next time, you won't have one!"
Seeing this, Yun Fan quickly conceded, "Don't worry, I absolutely wouldn't dare to act recklessly again!"
"Hmph!" Bai Hu snorted and threw him out.
Frustrated by his failed scheme, Yun Fan was inwardly furious. However, he quickly devised a new plan.
This plan, however, would not involve him actively trying to deal with Bai Hu, but rather guiding her step by step into his trap.
