Chapter 1118

"I'm very sorry, Mr., but I cannot grant your request. The battle pet Green Fox has excellent prospects. They belong to Beast Pen City, not to any individual — not even me!"

"Mm, if we can't work together, then forget it. Would you mind if we took a look at the battle pet Green Fox?" Lin Cheng said with a hint of regret, but he didn't mind, just as he had said before.

Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Sure."

He had expected the other party to raise the price, but he hadn't expected them to give up so decisively. Truly worthy of someone from the Dashang Society — such boldness and insight were extraordinary. Still, he believed the Green Fox could bring him more of what he wanted.

After Yun Mo left, Lin Cheng and Miss Qianhui, like the other customers, went to inspect the battle pet Green Fox, chatting softly as they walked.

This Yun Mo is just like the others — timid yet greedy… nothing special.

"Is that so? He did give me the feeling of one of those servants deliberately trying to curry favor with us." Miss Qianhui felt the same.

The two quickly walked over, with Lin Cheng taking the lead to make the first move.

"Hi, miss, may I ask you to give us a private introduction about the Green Fox?"

"Of course."

Yun Shang turned her head and saw Lin Cheng and Miss Qianhui wearing sunglasses. Her nose twitched almost imperceptibly, and without much hesitation she agreed.

She agreed that easily?

Both Lin Cheng and Miss Qianhui found it a little unbelievable, but as long as they could achieve their goal, that was fine.

"Please follow me."

Yun Shang led the way for Lin Cheng and Miss Qianhui. The Linshishang Society venue also had similar enclosed meeting rooms — perfect for a chat.

Inside the meeting room.

As Miss Qianhui closed the meeting room door, Yun Shang, who had sat down on the other side, also removed her veil, revealing a face-topselling beauty. A fox-like gleam shimmered with a strange light as she looked toward Lin Cheng!

"Mr., I wonder — is my sister doing well?"

Lin Cheng knew the spirit pet's tricks before his eyes. The moment a look of defiance flickered in her eyes, he closed his own, and the desire rising ceaselessly within him gradually subsided.

She was very beautiful — even more than Miss Qianhui, with an extra touch of fox-like exotic charm. Worthy of a fox-tribe spirit, and combined with her own unique illusion arts, it was easy to be ensnared without realizing it.

Much like King Zhou being deeply enchanted by Daji, the fox tribe's innate charm, reinforced day after day by constant illusion arts, had long since seeped false love and impressions into bone and soul.

He suddenly wondered if that Yun Mo had been bewitched the same way.

The Green Fox clan has always been very united — it's just that their ideals differ.

"He deceived you, just as he deceived you from the very start… after he helped you defeat me, he had originally planned to seize the chance to kill me while I was wounded. Fortunately, it seems heaven did not let her perish on the spot."

Slowly recounting the truth of the matter also gradually calmed her anger, and she began to speak again.

"But you know, when a Green Fox clan member dies, the vengeful spirit leaves a mark on the enemy. Any of our kind can recognize at a glance that the person is the Green Fox's foe."

"And he was very clear on this. Although I was in a dormant state at the time, I was well aware of the shifts in aura around me. He treated the wounded me as a magical beast and sold me to a magical beast merchant."

Little Red turned her gaze toward Lin Cheng, eyes full of gratitude.

"His name is Lin Cheng! My savior!"

"Hi!" Lin Cheng waved his hand, seizing the chance to greet her.

"Lin Cheng carries the aura of nature. I took him for an elf and begged him for help… I'm very fortunate he saved me. As repayment, at the cost of becoming his guardian spirit beast, I came to find you — my sister."

"Since you have already become the new Green Fox King, I won't oppose it. But before I leave, I will have Lin Cheng help you see your lover's true colors, and help the Green Fox clan find a new habitat."

The more Yun Shang listened, the more shocked she became inside. She could hardly believe that the lover who had always claimed to love her had deceived her — yet she likewise could not imagine her own kin before her colluding with an outsider to trick her!

"I'm tired, sister. Perhaps heaven wants you to be the Fox King. The people of the clan have already acknowledged you — this is your destiny!" Little Red shook her head calmly.

The wood was already made into a boat; the truth could not be changed.

Only if the sister died could a new Green Fox inherit the position of king.

"But they are sisters, as close as flesh and bone — how could they kill each other? They never would. Then I will leave and never come back." Yun Shang tried to escape this fate.

"Then mother's dying wish can never be fulfilled. The Fox King abandoning her people will plunge the Green Fox clan into eternal ruin." Little Red said with an equal sigh.

Abandoning an entire race for love — before her sister appeared, Yun Shang might not have hesitated, because the Green Fox clan members who had become battle pets had already been betrayed by her, in a sense.

But now the doubt and suspicion in her heart made her begin to waver, and a rift had formed.

The sister, who did not care about the position of Fox King… seemed to have already accepted reality, and even planned to leave. So was Yun Mo really deceiving her?

What a bitter irony this was!

Plans and accidents — it is always the latter that arrives first. We can only helplessly accept reality, powerless to change it!
