Chapter 222

Yo, isn't this Little Three?

Just then, a teasing voice sounded from afar, drawing the gazes of everyone at Bei damen; unconsciously looking up, they saw a beautiful spirit boat, with a bewitching beauty seated at the prow.

Although she was human, Niuda couldn't help but feel a flame ignite in his chest upon seeing her.

She's truly beautiful...

Niuda blurted out, swallowed his saliva, and before he could finish speaking, Hu Jiushisan interrupted him in a low voice: "Brother Niuda, are you courting death?"

"Little Hu, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Niuda asked doubtfully.

Hu Jiushisan suppressed his anger; even though Niuda usually relied on his own strength and didn't take him seriously, he wouldn't dare call him "Little Hu".

Although he deliberately lowered his head in front of Niuda, taking advantage of Hu Rui and Li Fugui's conversation to curry favor with Niuda, he was actually looking for an opportunity to use Hu Rui's hands to finish off Niuda, preferably killing him.

He never would have imagined...

Niuda would bluntly call him "Little Hu"!

If it weren't for his plan to harm Niuda and have Hu Rui kill him, hearing that address would have made him want to turn hostile immediately.

Even Hu Rui, even if she looked down on him, would at least call him "Uncle Jiushisan".

In that moment, his killing intent toward Niuda grew much stronger.

Hu Jiushisan put on a fawning smile and whispered: "Brother Niuda, do you know who that person is?"

"Who is it? Just a human cultivator, at most a bit better-looking, though her outfit is truly sexy; if I could spend a night with her..."

Niuda gave a hehe laugh, but before he could finish speaking, Hu Jiushisan immediately covered his mouth; seeing Niuda's displeased expression, he interrupted: "You're courting death—she's not just any human cultivator; she's from our Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan!"

"Your Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan has such beauties..."

Niuda blurted out, but before he could finish speaking, his face drained of color; he faintly noticed the bewitching woman on the bed seemed to have noticed him, giving him a half-smile, and his whole body trembled—if not for Hu Jiushisan supporting him, he would have collapsed like a puddle of mud.

In an instant.

Niuda lowered his head like an ostrich, daring not to glance at the bewitching woman, his voice trembling as he whispered carefully: "She, she, she, she is of your Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan—could she be a beloved concubine of some great demon?"

Many belong to the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, but those who can assume human form are not exactly few, yet they are all of the clan's direct line.

There are collateral branches, but they are rare, unless they are extraordinary geniuses among the collateral.

After all, the Transformation Pellet is no ordinary treasure; although the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan has the lucrative Jiu tou shan ji shi and maintains ties with other great demons, obtaining such a pellet is no simple task.

Since a Transformation Pellet might not be obtainable even once a year, even direct-line descendants of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan may not qualify to receive one.

Let alone the collateral branches?

If a collateral descendant manages to obtain a Transformation Pellet, they are one-in-a-million extraordinary geniuses.

Of course.

Fox demons who take the Transformation Pellet, relying on their beauty, whether male or female, eight or nine times out of ten will entangle themselves with great demons, even human powerhouses.

Playing the fox to borrow the tiger's might is their specialty!

If those great demons learned that a lowly ox demon dared to harbor designs on their beloved concubine, flaying and tendon extraction might be the easiest death.

As for those who achieve human form not by taking the Transformation Pellet but by relying on their own abilities to survive the heavenly tribulation, that is even harder to control than having a great demon as a backer.

"That person is a direct-line descendant of our Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, but not that great demon's beloved concubine!" Hu Jiushisan had just finished speaking when he saw Niuda let out a breath of relief, secretly chuckling.

He had actually considered using this sudden appearance of a Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan direct-line descendant to deal with Niuda, but such an opportunity was slim.

Who made Niuda as insignificant as dust? Unless he loses his mind and acts recklessly, that person wouldn't even spare him a glance.

Moreover, with Hu Rui present, how could one possibly stand by and watch Niuda offend that person?

Hu Jiushisan could only abandon that idea, yet he wasn't about to let Niuda off easy, whispering: "That person is Hu Meiniang!"

"Hu Meiniang?"

Niuda stared, puzzled as to why Hu Jiushisan would mention that name; just as he was about to speak and ask Hu Jiushisan what was going on, a flash of insight flickered through his mind and vanished.

"She..."

Niuda's whole body trembled as he was about to cry out, but Hu Jiushisan, as if prepared, clapped a hand over his mouth and hissed low: "Are you courting death?"

"I, I, I..."

Niuda's face turned deathly pale, devoid of blood, frightened by the recollection of Hu Meiniang's deeds; his voice trembling, he whispered: "Little Hu, this, this, this lady—how could she suddenly return?"

This novel you have reached

Hu Meiniang, a few decades ago in this region, was like a great demon king; not that she committed every evil, but she relied on her charm arts and a special cultivation method to seduce one monster after another.

Logically, the love between men and women is the greatest, greatest, greatest joy in the human world.

However.

Virtually every monster that Hu Meiniang seduced died from indulgence.

Hu Meiniang's reputation quickly spread, yet under her temptation, even knowing that a brief tryst with her could be fatal, few monsters could resist her allure.

During that time, who knows how many monsters perished beneath Hu Meiniang's peony blossoms.

If Hu Meiniang weren't a direct-line descendant of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, with her siblings, siblings, and elders tied to many great demons, her wicked deeds would have long invited revenge from countless monsters.

Of course.

Whether those monsters seeking revenge against Hu Meiniang would be unable to resist her temptation and once again become her wanton ghosts beneath her peony blossoms...

Remains unknown!

However.

It is said that an elder of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, worried that letting Hu Meiniang stay in the Nine-headed Mountain would cause the region's monsters to be unable to survive, pulled strings to find her a monster versed in a cultivation method for enduring battles.

But.

Yet that very monster, versed in the battle-enduring cultivation method, likewise died on Hu Meiniang's bed.

Only then was Hu Meiniang's reputation fully established!

"My older sister, it is said, after killing her husband in bed, fled to a human prefecture city and lived there for many years!"

Speaking up to this point, Hu Jiushisan's words paused, they thought for a long time, recalling Hu Meiniang's situation. Hu Meiniang, that is a prominent figure of their Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan. Although they are merely an insignificant clan member, they still care about Hu Meiniang's news, they furrowed their brow and said:

"Could it be that this sister of mine has provoked a formidable foe in the prefectural city that she cannot afford to offend?"
