Chapter 389: The Demon Emperor Sister

"What did you say?"

Huang Huang was uncharacteristically flustered; the flames swirling around her body expanded, and a heatwave erupted from her, sending Ren Yidao, who was already exhausted and lying on the ground, flying far away.

"Hey! Hey! Watch it!"

Ren Yidao transformed into a normal-sized white fox in mid-air, curled into a ball before hitting the ground, and rolled round and round several times before finally coming to a stop.

"..."

The white fox ball did not resist, slowly unfolding on the spot into a white fox pancake, tilting its head, and staring at Huang Huang with a resentful expression.

"Well, is it fun?"

I know I'm a little brother you picked up, but you don't have to be this heartless, do you, big sister?

You actually used me as a ball to kick!

Is there no justice left in the world?

Is there no law... oh, she is the Demon Emperor.

Then it's fine!

Ren Yidao was there adding drama for himself, but Huang Huang had no mind to pay attention to him, because there were more important matters to handle at this moment.

After learning of He Shou's identity as a member of the Butian Alliance, Huang Huang put away all her contempt and looked at the now-unconscious He Shou in full battle readiness.

"Seal! Seal! Seal!!!"

Her hand seals flew at high speed, a burst of brilliance flashed, and within a few breaths, Huang Huang had applied who knows how many seals onto him.

Very quickly, He Shou transformed from a charred corpse into a black rice dumpling wrapped in seals.

Compared to how she had casually stepped on him and ignored him before, the difference in treatment was simply worlds apart.

He suddenly went from a petty thief to a high-security prisoner.

Only after repeatedly confirming that He Shou was completely sealed and certain he would not wake up did Huang Huang heave a sigh of relief.

"Hoo..."

Huang Huang turned back into human form, finally turned her head to look at Ren Yidao, and confirmed again: "Are you really sure about his identity?"

"What, you don't believe me?"

Ren Yidao curled his lips and said casually: "Well, I'm ninety percent sure; it's what he said himself, after all."

"Besides, didn't you see his escape method just now? That should be proof enough, right?"

"Furthermore, one should be able to find items on him that prove his identity."

Like a token of the 【Longevity Star】 or something similar.

Even Di Si has one of these; he couldn't possibly lack even this bit of status, right?

"But..."

Although all the conditions pointed to this answer, Huang Huang just couldn't accept it.

If this monster was the Longevity Star, then how did Ren Yidao manage to survive under his hands?

No, looking at He Shou's injuries, this could no longer be called surviving...

Ren Yidao had almost killed this monster.

Void Refinement killing Asking Dao!?

This wasn't Void Refinement killing Golden Core, nor was it Dharma Aspect killing Void Refinement.

The two major realms between Void Refinement and Asking Dao span across the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm!

... Is this really possible?

Huang Huang could be certain that even the Demon God could not have done this while at the Void Refinement stage!

"Big sister, don't overthink it."

Ren Yidao saw Huang Huang's lack of understanding and explained before she could fall into a tangle: "He was the one who courted death and got himself half-killed."

Ren Yidao was always confident and would not belittle himself, but he also wouldn't be blindly arrogant, thinking the current result was all due to his own strength.

He still maintained a clear understanding of himself.

Being able to escape successfully this time involved strength, but luck still played the biggest part.

"He was first struck half-dead by lightning while refining pills, and then he was backlashed by the Causality on his own body, dropping him by more than half a realm."

"His luck was too bad, and mine was too good; with one rising and the other falling, I luckily had the chance to fight him for my life."

To summarize in one sentence, He Shou did not act like a human and courted a great death, so he deserved this calamity.

Huhu here is simply an emissary of justice, acting on behalf of Heaven to subdue demons and eliminate evil!

Besides, who decided that luck isn't a part of strength?

Although He Shou used his cultivation to suppress his karmic obstacles and had done too many things harmful to Heaven—with ten thousand souls possessing him and Evil entangling his body—his luck naturally couldn't be very good.

And it was very unfortunate for him to run into me, an auspicious beast who has accumulated virtue and done good deeds for a lifetime; by comparison, his luck was even more miserable.

"And besides, didn't we both end up heavily injured?"

What?

Do you want to report me for cheating?

But I didn't even win!

If I had cheated and still didn't win, then what kind of cheat would I even be using!

As he spoke, the white fox moved its tail—the fur of which had been mostly corroded—with a pained expression, baring its teeth in grievance.

My tail!

My tail!!!

He Shou, you really deserve to die!

Huang Huang's brows were tightly locked, her eyes looking at the heartbroken white fox over there with a complex expression for a long time, and finally, she reluctantly nodded.

"... Mm."

Regarding this reason Ren Yidao gave, although Huang Huang was somewhat skeptical, she wisely did not continue to press the matter.

Everyone has secrets, and this is even more true for geniuses.

Forcing an investigation would only make the already not-so-harmonious relationship between the two even more tense.

"... Right, your injuries need to be treated."

The two stared at each other awkwardly for a while; Huang Huang remembered something, raised her hand to grab the white fox, and prepared to treat his injuries.

"Ah, I'm fine."

The white fox, having gotten too deep into his act, wanted to run upon hearing this, but how could he resist the Demon Emperor sister?

Whoosh—

The fox-pancake turned into a ball and flew up from the ground, landing in Huang Huang's broad and soft embrace.

Duang~

The world is truly wonderful.

This demoness who excels in fire among the Five Elements is cold as iron on the surface, but actually gentle as water inside, and possesses a bosom as broad as the sea.

Huang Huang gently held the small white fox and was just about to infuse Dharma Power into his body when she suddenly gave a soft "eh."

"Hm?"

The reason Huang Huang was surprised was not because of anything else, but because she discovered that Ren Yidao's injuries were not actually as they appeared on the surface.

The exterior looked miserable, but that was just superficial skin trauma; beneath the ghastly injuries, there was a surge of vibrant vitality.

Inside his body, there was an extremely strong vitality constantly repairing his body.

And, this medicinal power... is it a Mending Heaven Pill?

"You?"

"... Ying ying ying."

Knowing there was no room left to resist, the white fox guiltily tried to act cute and buried his head into his fur.

Then, the white fox was lifted up by the demoness with her two hands inserted under his front legs, his body hanging down, turning into a long fox-strip.

"... Ying."

Huang Huang said nothing, just staring straight into the white fox's eyes.

Stare—

"Cough!"

Ren Yidao knew he couldn't hide it, stopped playing the victim, shook his body, and the blood-stained fur fell off, returning to a coat of fur as white as snow.

But even so, Huang Huang still had no intention of letting him go.

"Cough cough, well, there are very, very deep reasons for this!"

The white fox pulled at his mouth to force a smile and shifted his eyes to the side: "I can only guarantee to you that I am not a member of the Butian Alliance; if you don't believe me, I can swear..."

"No need to swear, I believe you."

Huang Huang interrupted Ren Yidao's explanation, loosened her grip, held him in her arms again, and shook her head lightly:

"You don't need to be so nervous; although the Mending Heaven Pill's name is similar to the Butian Alliance, it is not exclusive to the Butian Alliance."

"It's just that the pill formula has been lost for many years, and coupled with the fact that some of the key ingredients are now controlled by them, it has gradually become their exclusive pill."

The white fox blinked his eyes and said "oh."

Hey!

So that's how it is; it gave Huhu a fright.

I had already thought of how to explain it to make it more reasonable, but it turns out it wasn't a big problem.

The burden in his heart lifted, he immediately felt at ease, lazily let out a yawn, and unceremoniously found a more comfortable position in the Demon Emperor sister's arms.

"Hehe."

Huang Huang looked at the white fox's scummy expression, shook her head with a light chuckle, and raised her hand to stroke his fur:

"Besides, if you were a member of the Butian Alliance, you would have no way to resist the Star Envoy."

"Well, that's true too."

Ren Yidao raised his head in surprise, feeling the spot where Huang Huang had just lightly stroked him, and smiled as well.

I don't know what psychological shift Huang Huang went through to actually start adopting the identity of a sister.

Is it because I look cute now, a special attack against female creatures?

Or is it because I helped her capture He Shou, performed a great service, and gained a favorability boost reward?

Or... well!

Forget it, as long as the progress is good, that's all that matters.

【Ding-dong! Demon Emperor sister's conquest progress: 10!】

The moment he thought about the fact that he was conquering a sister, the instinct carved into Ren Yidao's genes stirred again.

The white fox lying in the woman's arms raised his head, looked at the faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and said out of the blue:

"Sister, you look very beautiful when you smile; why don't you smile more often?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, one could tell he was an old scumbag fox.

However... hm?

The white fox blinked his eyes, feeling as if he had said similar words before.

When was that?

Which younger sister was it that I said that to?

Oh!

It seems to be some younger sister surnamed Li...

But who exactly was it?

*Snap. *

While he was thinking, the white fox felt a pain in the center of his brow, followed by a moderate impact.

"Hmph."

Opening his eyes, he saw Huang Huang raising her eyebrows with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and she moved her slender jade fingers suggestively.

"Slippery-tongued, and, fickle-hearted."

You brat, not only do you dare to tease me, but your audacity has reached its peak.

While fawning in my arms, you dare to think of other women?

Regarding this, the scumbag fox expressed his disagreement.

Whoa!

So it was you who just flicked my forehead, right?

Fine, I'll remember this.

I can't beat you right now.

You wait until I can beat you in the future, I will definitely flick you back!

Also, what is the meaning of this?

You're jealous, aren't you?

Huhu is best at multi-threaded thinking.

Besides, I was just thinking about other younger sisters in front of you, wasn't I?

It's not like I was thinking about other older sisters!

Ah, speaking of older sisters, has Jing recently been...

*Snap! *

"Hmph!"

This time, Huang Huang infused some strength into her fingertip, and her soft snort carried a hint of genuine anger.

You brat!

You won't let it go, will you?

The white fox covered his forehead with both paws and drew in a sharp breath.

"... Hiss!"

Fine, fine, fine.

You want to play it this way, right?

He hissed in pain and nodded vigorously at Huang Huang.

Very well.

Huhu accepts your challenge.

Now, you already owe me two forehead flicks!
