Ye Qiu froze.
I can’t do it?
This little fox actually says I can’t do it?
Hmph, if you were a peerless beauty, I’d definitely show you whether I can or not!
Ye Qiu said, “Fine, you do it.”
Whoosh!
The little white fox leapt out of his arms, landed in front of the pit, and slapped down with one paw onto the formation patterns.
Ye Qiu watched her and sneered. “If you can break the formation like that, then I’ll…”
Buzz!
The formation trembled.
The very next second, the ground collapsed and the array shattered completely.
Ye Qiu’s words died in his throat. He stared at the little white fox in shock.
“Ye Changsheng, am I impressive or what?” The little white fox turned back, her face full of smug pride.
Ye Qiu nodded. “Very impressive.”
She giggled. “You just said that if I broke the formation, you would do something. Were you going to spank me?”
“Come on, do it!”
The little fox trotted over, turned around, and stuck her bottom up at him.
Everyone else was dumbfounded. Since when did a nine-tailed celestial fox have this kind of fetish?
One by one, they gave Ye Qiu strange looks.
“Ye Changsheng, why are you hesitating? Spank me, I’m begging you!” the little white fox urged.
Ye Qiu had no choice but to steel himself and lightly tap her backside.
The little white fox looked dissatisfied. “Ye Changsheng, what was that? You didn’t use any strength at all. Harder!”
Smack!
Ye Qiu brought his palm down hard.
“Ohhh, that feels amazing!” The little white fox’s voice was dripping with seduction, exactly like a woman at the height of ecstasy. It was simply too…
Enchanting!
Instantly, everyone’s gazes towards Ye Qiu became even stranger.
“Senior Brother, Big Brother seems a bit… off,” Mo Tianji whispered.
Long-Brow Daoist chuckled wickedly. “Who knew the little brat had this kind of hobby? Even this poor Daoist feels inferior.”
Yun Xi stood to the side, glared at the little white fox, then said coldly, “Hmph. The fox isn’t even fully matured yet, just precociously slutty.”
The little white fox shot back at once, “Ye Changsheng, she’s insulting me!”
“So what if I am?” Yun Xi’s tone was icy. “I’m warning you, you’re a demon fox. Don’t even think about seducing my Changsheng, or I won’t let you off.”
The little white fox laughed mockingly. “Oh my, your Changsheng? Hahaha, that’s rich.”
“Since when did Ye Changsheng become yours?”
“Have you two held a wedding ceremony and become husband and wife?”
“Why don’t you just claim every man in the cultivation world while you’re at it?”
Long-Brow Daoist gave the little white fox a deep look and thought, I never realised this fox’s tongue is almost as sharp as mine. Impressive.
When it came to verbal sparring, Yun Xi was truly no match for the little white fox. Right now she was so angry her delicate body trembled.
“You stinking fox demon! I’ve tolerated you again and again, yet you still dare speak to me like this. I’ll kill you!”
Yun Xi’s killing intent surged as she prepared to strike.
“Ye Changsheng, protect me quick!” The little white fox instantly jumped back into Ye Qiu’s arms and even stuck her tongue out at Yun Xi, as if to say, With Ye Changsheng shielding me, what can you do?
“Changsheng, put her down and let me kill her,” Yun Xi fumed.
Ye Qiu felt a headache coming on. He hurriedly changed the subject. “Da Niao and Wu Qianfan are still in the pit. I’ll go check on them.”
Swish!
With that, he jumped straight down.
“Hmph, today I’m definitely killing that stinking fox demon!” Yun Xi leapt in after him, still furious.
In an instant, only Long-Brow Daoist and Mo Tianji remained above.
“Senior Brother, what’s going on with them?” Mo Tianji asked.
Long-Brow Daoist grinned. “Mind your own business. Just enjoy the show.”
The two then jumped in as well.
The space beneath the pit was enormous. Let alone their small group, it could easily hold another hundred or two people.
Wu Qianfan’s hair was a tangled mess, his face smeared with dirt, his clothes in tatters, his body covered in wounds. Four words summed him up perfectly.
Utterly pathetic!
Ye Qiu had already seen Wu Qianfan’s state through his Heavenly Eye from above, so he wasn’t surprised. The others, however, were seeing the prince like this for the first time and were stunned.
“Prince Wu, what on earth happened to you?” Yun Xi asked with concern.
Wu Qianfan’s face burned with shame. He wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Even he didn’t know why he’d been so unbelievably unlucky.
Long-Brow Daoist said, “Prince Wu, did you get robbed or something?”
Lin Da Niao explained, “I already asked him. He said he met several groups of thugs on the road who wanted to kill him and take his treasures, so he ended up like this.”
So that’s how it was.
“Prince Wu, how did you fall in here?” Mo Tianji asked.
Naturally, Wu Qianfan wasn’t going to admit he’d accidentally fallen in. If he told the truth, it would be far too humiliating.
Think about it: the mighty Second Prince of Great Zhou, a peak Cave Heaven genius, trapped because he fell into a pit and couldn’t get out. If that story got out, people would laugh their heads off.
Wu Qianfan said, “I didn’t fall in. I came in on purpose.”
“On the way here I fought two ferocious beasts and got slightly injured. Then I encountered several groups of cultivators who attacked me with lethal intent, including a few peak Cave Heaven experts.”
“I killed them, but I was also gravely wounded, so I looked for a hidden place to recover. That’s how I ended up here.”
“I never expected this pit to contain a mysterious array. It was easy to enter but impossible to leave. I tried everything and couldn’t break it.”
“Thank heavens you all arrived.”
Long-Brow Daoist stared at Wu Qianfan for a while, then asked, “Prince Wu, why is there a patch of hair missing from the top of your head? It’s all black, as if you were struck by lightning.”
Damn it, why’d you have to bring that up?
The mere mention made Wu Qianfan furious. He’d only cursed the heavens once, and a bolt of lightning had struck him on the head. Luckily it wasn’t too powerful, or he’d be dead by now.
Wu Qianfan sighed. “Daoist Elder, you don’t know the half of it. Among those cultivators was one who used lightning arts. I was ambushed. Thankfully this prince reacted quickly, or you wouldn’t be seeing me alive.”
Long-Brow Daoist nodded. “I see. It seems Prince Wu truly carries great fortune.”
The corner of Wu Qianfan’s mouth twitched. Great fortune my arse, more like endless bad luck.
“Let me heal you.” Ye Qiu took out golden needles and treated Wu Qianfan’s wounds, then handed him several spiritual herbs. “Recover quickly.”
“Thank you.” Wu Qianfan didn’t stand on ceremony. He accepted the herbs and began healing.
Soon his injuries were fully mended and his spirit returned. Then he did something strange: he started digging frantically with both hands.
Before long, a pitch-black stone slab appeared before everyone’s eyes. Four characters were carved upon it.
“Peerless Treasure!”
