Chapter 1016

"I have actually read records about the nine-tailed demon fox!" Su Yang laughed. "Last time I didn't kill you with one punch—was it because of this fox's spiritual barrier? To be able to withstand the power of my Great Earth Furious Bear, this little fox must have quite a strong talent for spiritual barriers, right?"

Sovereign Jiazi gave an awkward little smile.

Being seen through at a glance really doesn't feel good!

Su Yang suddenly brought up another matter: "Speaking of which, this fox's charm ability is so strong, but I don't think I've ever seen you use it!"

"I don't like using charm abilities. Generally, I let Xiaoqiu automatically hide that talent!"

Any woman with a shred of self-respect couldn't possibly use charm on other men every day. Sovereign Jiazi, the number one genius of the island nation, certainly wouldn't like using this skill!

"Oh!"

Su Yang nodded, showing he understood.

In fact, his own charm value was off the charts!

If he negotiated with enemies using his face, the enemy might just surrender on the spot, but he preferred to destroy everything with his fists.

After roughly ruffling the nine-tailed demon fox's little head, Su Yang stood up and said, "Alright, everyone get some rest!"

Watching Su Yang's figure disappear, the nine-tailed demon fox drooped its ears and looked at Sovereign Jiazi with a face full of grievance.

"Xiaoqiu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just feeling a bit uncomfortable. In all my years, no one has dared to touch my tail and ruffle my head!"

As a divine-potential-class fierce beast, it still had its dignity.

It was not a pet to be kneaded and pinched at will!

Sovereign Jiazi quickly grabbed the nine-tailed demon fox's tail, patted its head, and asked softly, "Now, do you feel a little better?"

The nine-tailed demon fox immediately bared its mouth, revealing ghastly white fangs!

"Time to rest. If we wake General my lord, neither of us will get off easy!"

The nine-tailed demon fox froze.

With a flash of white light, Sovereign Jiazi recalled the nine-tailed demon fox and strode back to her own room.

As she walked, she rubbed her hands together.

She had finally touched Xiaoqiu's head and tail!

Having been with Xiaoqiu for so many years, Sovereign Jiazi had long wanted to do this!

Today, thanks to Su Yang, she had finally fulfilled her long-held wish!

More than ten days later, inside an estate in Zhanghaicheng.

A burly middle-aged man held a fishing rod, fishing from a pavilion by an artificial lake.

An elderly man dressed as a butler walked briskly to the middle-aged man's side, hesitating to speak.

The middle-aged man spoke first: "Have Zhou Xue and my disgrace of a son died yet?"

"Reporting to Branch Leader my lord, they probably haven't died yet!"

"Chen Kai and his lot are truly a bunch of trash—two Stellar-Rank experts, and they can't even kill a Platinum-Rank beast master!"

"Branch Leader my lord, this subordinate has received news that Chen Kai and his group are very likely already dead!"

"Dead?" The middle-aged man's expression turned grim. "What happened? Could Zhou Xue and the others have alarmed the Southeast military again?"

"Last night, I received intelligence sent back by Zhou Kai and the others, saying Zhou Xue and her son had taken refuge in Mount Dajiao. They planned to risk entering Mount Dajiao to hunt down Zhou Xue and her son... But this morning, I received intelligence from Mount Dajiao saying that ten days ago, two suspected organization members tried to sneak into Mount Dajiao and were captured on the spot by that Sovereign Jiazi!"

"Chen Kai and the others were captured?"

"They took poison and killed themselves!"

"Now that's more like it!" The middle-aged man nodded. "Take good care of their families!"

"Yes!" The elderly man dressed as a butler added, "But what about Zhou Xue and her son..."

"That little waste must die too!" At this point, the middle-aged man had already become furious. "This is our rule—any waste who hasn't awakened the Beast Master talent doesn't deserve to live in this world. And that cheap woman must die too—she actually betrayed me for a little waste!"

"Don't you know I've nearly become a laughingstock of the Tianxing Society? Now people in the organization are whispering behind my back that the little waste isn't even mine—that woman gave me a cuckold's horn!" the middle-aged man raged. "Anyone who betrays me must die, no matter who!"

"But now, the Southeast military has already noticed our movements. If we act now, we're very likely to attract the Southeast military's attention!" the old butler said helplessly. "Moreover, Zhou Xue and her son have taken refuge in Mount Dajiao. If we want to kill them, we'll inevitably alert Su Yang of Mount Dajiao, and his two adjutants. The difficulty is enormous!"

The difficulty wasn't just enormous—

It was as hard as ascending to the heavens!

Even if they mobilized every beast master of the Southeast branch of the Tianxing Society to attack Mount Dajiao, they might not be able to take it!

Su Yang's strength was so powerful it left people in despair!

"I heard that Sovereign Jiazi, the island nation ruler Su Yang captured, is also a peerless beauty, just like Liu Mengyun?"

"Correct!" The butler nodded. "That Sovereign Jiazi is very strong—in her twenties, she's already a King-Rank Mid-Grade expert!"

"Do you think we have any chance of turning her?" the middle-aged man asked in a low voice. "You know, Su Yang has done Sovereign Jiazi no small harm. Sovereign Jiazi staying by Su Yang's side must be unwilling and hate Su Yang to the bone, right?"

The news of Su Yang crushing the island nation and capturing Sovereign Jiazi had long since spread.

The military had not concealed this matter too much.

The Huaxia Federation also needed geniuses, needed powerful experts to stabilize morale, to let the commoners, to let the beast masters, see the military's strength, see the hope of defeating the fierce beasts!
