The Peddler Tricks the Fox, Summoning Water and Mist

In a certain area of the ever-surging Qiantang River, a Heart Devouring Fox with a colossal Dharma body was letting out miserable wails.

All the fox fur on her body had turned charred black, each strand standing on end. Her sharp claws were corroded, flesh rotting down to the bone. Most tragic were her eyes; Ge Huolang had immediately blasted them with a Water Cannon filled with his venomous saliva and icy cold fluid. Her pair of Fox Charm Eyes were almost completely corroded, and her fox face was nearly frozen stiff.

Although the two had a difference of a full major realm in cultivation, Ge Xian was clearly no ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Just that combination of Demon Arts blasted head-on, few Foundation Establishment cultivators could achieve it.

Coupled with Yelü Yuyan's underestimation, suffering such a fate was only natural.

However, after his sneak attack succeeded, Ge Xian dared not linger for a moment. He didn't even entertain the thought of beating a drowning fox. He once again stirred the water currents and fled madly towards the East Sea.

He had already sensed the movement behind him.

"Yelü Tianzheng failed and is being pursued by Bao Hanzhang's great army."

"This whole family should be worried about escaping now. They won't have the time to chase after me, this [nameless nobody]."

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't need to worry anymore. But Yelü Yuyan is different. That woman is so crazy, who knows what kind of complex vicious habits she has. Obsessive, insane, incredibly vengeful. Better to run first."

As it turned out, Ge Huolang's worries were extremely valid.

Behind him, Yelü Yuyan didn't wail for long, only a second or two. Then, she summoned Vital Blood Spirit Pills from her Fox Tail Sac. Swallowing them, her injuries visibly healed.

The two corroded eyeballs gradually grew back.

Within them burned a sky-high hatred.

She had been tricked. By the same person, a shameless and cunning human peddler. And tricked many times.

More importantly, she had been injured.

At this very moment, Yelü Yuyan's eyes were almost solely focused on Ge Xian, who was fleeing like a loach.

The next instant!

With a sound like an explosion, a white light once again sliced through the Qiantang River.

In the blink of an eye, Yelü Yuyan had caught up to Ge Xian again. Her Dharma body had actually expanded once more. And she had clearly learned her lesson, knowing that the "Ge Loach" below was poisonous and could discharge electricity. She no longer reached for him personally. Instead, three flesh tails behind her suddenly plunged into the riverbed.

In an instant, all of Ge Xian's escape routes were blocked. They converged, capturing him and forcefully pulling him out of the water.

Ge Xian struggled incessantly. Then, he saw a ferocious fox face.

It leaned in, its fox mouth wide open, lunging towards Ge Xian's Dragon Head to devour it.

It was unknown just how much Yelü Yuyan hated Ge Huolang. After capturing him, she directly intended to take a bite out of him first.

"Damn this contrast!"

Ge Xian still had the leisure to complain at this moment.

Because in his mind, he inexplicably recalled Yelü Yuyan's frail and charming humanoid body. Who would have thought that a young girl who could be blown down by the wind at any moment was actually such a terrifying heart-devouring fox?

Yelü Yuyan looked down from above, intending to gnaw on Ge Xian's dragon head while savoring the mudfish's fear.

"A mere human merchant, naturally charming, so bold as to dare to deceive me, Yelü Yuyan, kill one of my maids, bewitch another, and even steal secret scrolls from my treasury, visualize them into a dragon, and build this high-grade Dao Foundation."

"Good, good, good, truly a genius rogue cultivator."

"I, Yelü Yuyan, have raised countless pets since I was young, but I've never raised one like you. Don't be afraid. After I've had my fill of tormenting you and vented my anger, I'll put a dog leash on you and tie you firmly by my side."

"Be good, won't you be my dog?"

It sounded like she was asking for Ge Xian's opinion, but her tone was clearly one of certainty.

Hearing this, Ge Huolang sneered inwardly.

But on the surface, he was very cooperative, putting on a show of "futile struggle," occasionally spitting out some highly toxic saliva and unleashing one or two electric snake thunder pythons, pretending that the previous set of combined demon arts had exhausted his internal magical power.

In reality, as long as Ge Xian was willing, he could perform that combination technique at least ten more times.

The reason he didn't act now was because this fellow was brewing a wicked plan.

As the two demon bodies gradually drew closer, almost to the point of kissing.

Suddenly, Yelü Yuyan heard a "puke" sound.

From the dragon head below, a jade pot suddenly appeared. The pot's opening widened, and along with Ge Xian's deliberately imitated retching sound, an incredibly fishy, thick yellow grease gushed out.

The grease in the jade pot came from Fei Zhong.

This guy was a [Fat Monster].

The grease he refined himself was in immense quantities, and it was both poisonous and foul-smelling.

This move was truly disgusting and completely unexpected.

No matter who it was, they would never have imagined that such a mysterious and majestic dragon-kin would possess such a method.

Caught off guard, Yelü Yuyan was sprayed all over again.

The grease coated a large portion of her demon body, clumping her fox fur together in clumps. It began to seep in, corroding and melting her skin and flesh. What made it even more unbearable was that a lot of it had gotten into her mouth. She had never tasted anything so foul in her life.

Fishy odor, intense pain, and stickiness overwhelmed her.

Seizing this opportunity, Ge Huolang easily broke free from his trembling flesh tail and plunged back into the Qiantang River. Without a word, he began to accelerate his escape again.

"The Oil Pot Technique could at most disgust Yelü Yuyan; it wouldn't cause much harm."

"If I can just hold on a little longer, as long as Bao Hanzhang puts in some effort, even if this madwoman ignores the situation and Yelü Tianzheng, desperate to escape, forces her to flee, I'll be safe."

"Nothing in life is perfect, no one can guarantee absolute success. I disrupted the Eternal Life Cult's plans from behind the scenes, but I forgot that Yelü Yuyan might sense traces of the treasure scroll I possess. Fortunately, I have some means now. Hiding within this water vein, with the advantage of terrain, I might still survive."

Having tricked Yelü Yuyan twice, Ge Xian felt no pride, only a desperate urge to escape.

In his mind, he constantly reviewed the abilities he possessed.

Indeed, it wasn't long.

Yelü Yuyan caught up again. Ge Xian hastily glanced back, feeling both ridiculous and terrified.

What a huge hairless fox!

To remove the fatty monster's grease, Yelü Yuyan had ignited her fox fire, causing the grease to sizzle and pop noisily.

When the excess fat was gone, her body fur also vanished.

Surprisingly, without her snow-white fur, Yelü Yuyan's body as a "female fox" was completely exposed, bare from head to toe. All her fair skin, her heavy assets, her mysterious organs, were all revealed in broad daylight, without exception.

At first, it seemed comical.

But as she ran, a strange and astonishing beauty emerged.

Especially when she let out strange "fox cries," emitting a bewitching qi that was primal and unrestrained.

Ge Xian only looked back once and almost stopped.

Then, sensing something, he abruptly looked forward again, cursing inwardly:

"Large-scale group charm spell?"

"This madwoman, she's probably gotten serious, treating me as an equal cultivator in the Mortal Transformation Realm and engaging in a real fight."

The reason for Ge Xian's panic.

Was that ahead of him, in the Qiantang River, a large number of fish and shrimp water beasts had gathered without him knowing when.

At the same time, a multitude of birds and beasts on the shore were also drawn in, falling into the water like dumplings. They were so dense they almost blocked the river channel.

Ge Xian instantly understood Yelü Yuyan's intentions: to block his escape route by water and use these "cannon fodder" to wear down his formidable demon arts and his myriad of strange and unpredictable techniques.

After being toyed with twice, Yelü Yuyan had finally gotten serious.

Not only was she blocking his path ahead, but as she pursued him from behind, she slowly opened her mouth towards Ge Xian's position.

Within that vivid, pink fox mouth, a terrifying demonic qi began to gather. Initially, it was only the size of a fist, but in the blink of an eye, it grew to the size of an infant's head and was still expanding...

Seeing this, Ge Xian felt a sense of impending doom.

Although he didn't know what kind of divine ability or spell Yelü Yuyan had unleashed at this moment.

He knew just by sensing it that it was deadly.

He couldn't bother with anything else. First, he spat out poisonous water from his mouth, and then the cold, poisonous Thunder Fiend surged out from all parts of his body.

Poison Fish and Electric Fish, attacking from both sides, finally carved out a bloody path, forcefully pushing through with the immense water current.

But it was at this very moment!

Ge Xian's entire body couldn't help but tremble. It felt like thorns on his back, and ominous signs roared.

He didn't have time to escape. Behind him, a "Light Orb" the size of a millstone, filled with Annihilating Demonic Qi, smashed into the river. Although he had already tried his best to flee, one-third of the Light Orb's power was still absorbed by him.

Along with the violent explosion, not only was the water current, which had risen due to the Dragon Transformation, abruptly halted.

But a mysterious and majestic, yet heavily wounded true dragon, was also blasted from the riverbed and floated to the surface.

At least more than half of its Dragon Scales were gone. Its wounds were black, and fragrant Dragon Meat oozed from each one. Its once imposing Dragon Head was also extremely tragic. Its soft, cloud-like Mane was mostly destroyed, and many of its jagged Dragon Horns were broken...

Even though it was so miserable, clearly a severely injured victim.

Yelü Yuyan still deliberately waited for two breaths, cast a spell to investigate, and only then approached.

Clearly, the previous two rounds of toying had left her with considerable psychological trauma.

"You, little merchant, are truly bizarre. You have so many disgusting tricks that you actually forced me to use my Bloodline Divine Ability, [Tushan Yu]."

"After taking that hit, you're still not dead. I like you even more now."

"Don't worry, your life can be spared. I won't kill you. I will capture you and take you back to be my dog."

As she spoke, Yelü Yuyan descended.

The three bloody Flesh Tails converged and scooped up Ge Xian, who was limp on the water's surface.

This time, there were no more tricks.

Ge Xian seemed truly severely wounded and on the verge of death, being slowly lifted up by her.

Normally, at this point, Yelü Yuyan should have tormented him thoroughly. Whether it was gnawing on Dragon Meat or sucking Dragon Blood, it would have been perfectly normal.

But at this moment, an extremely bizarre phenomenon occurred:

Yelü Yuyan found Ge Xian more and more pleasing to the eye. Instead of tormenting him, she gently lifted him up, as if afraid of hurting him.

At the same time, she began to develop an increasingly strong liking for Ge Xian.

Even as she involuntarily brought him closer, her affection had developed into a strange kind of... possessiveness.

"Huh?"

Even Yelü Yuyan couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.

Immediately, alarm bells rang in her heart, and she broke free. She remembered the maidservant Qiu Niang, whom she had devoured earlier.

Her memory also contained a similar experience.

He was clearly a human youth, yet inexplicably possessed a Charm Talent comparable to that of a fox clan.

The moment she realized, she intended to strike a killing blow.

But how could she know that to trick her, Ge Xian had gone all out for the first time, unleashing his "Charm" talent with all his might? At this moment, his dragon body seemed incredibly alluring in Yelü Yuyan's eyes, making her wish she could truly embrace him and cherish him.

Normally, this would be impossible, unless he, Ge Xian, were truly a Dragon Girl of extraordinary charm.

Although Yelü Yuyan, with her powerful cultivation, managed to break free at the last moment.

She still couldn't bring herself to poison him instantly, but Ge Xian had this opportunity. How could he let it pass?

The dragon head, which had been lowered, suddenly lifted, meeting Yelü Yuyan's gaze.

Outer Sky Gray Eye!

Forced hypnosis.

The potent demonic energy that suddenly surged within her was instantly dissolved.

However, it didn't manage to hypnotize Yelü Yuyan into servitude like the fox woman Qiu Niang before. This was within his expectations. After all, she was a fox of the Mortal Transformation Realm, inherently skilled in charm, and couldn't be easily hypnotized by him.

Since he couldn't seize her soul, he naturally couldn't perform "Cai Bu." He could only make her soul stagnate, desperately resisting the power of the gray eyes.

But even this much opportunity was enough.

Ge Xian had deliberately feigned death precisely for this moment.

Strike while the iron is hot!

He didn't flee immediately. Instead, his dragon tail coiled, dragging Yelü Yuyan fiercely into the depths of the Qiantang River.

Their bodies intertwined, appearing as if they were in an embrace.

But the truth was, Ge Huolang was bullying her.

He pressed down on Yelü Yuyan, unleashing all the demon arts and techniques he knew upon her without reservation.

Pitiable as she was, a strong expert of the Mortal Transformation Realm, she was being tormented like this by a Foundation Establishment Realm Dragon Demon.

Unable to resist, even the most powerful and resilient body gradually sustained injuries, becoming covered in wounds.

In the midst of this struggle and oppression, a dozen breaths of time vanished in the blink of an eye.

Gradually, the sense of danger returned, and it grew even more intense.

"This is bad, that madwoman is about to break free."

Ge Xian had vented all his pent-up anger, naturally making Yelü Yuyan hate him to the extreme.

It was easy to imagine that once she completely broke free, it would be a fight to the death.

The physical body's strength of a Mortal Transformation Realm demon was somewhat beyond Ge Xian's expectations.

Even after being ravaged by him, even after those three bloody flesh tails were cruelly torn off by this brute, Yelü Yuyan still gave Ge Xian a sense of extreme danger.

This also caused Ge Xian's plan to fall somewhat short. He had originally intended to at least cripple Yelü Yuyan if he couldn't kill her, rendering her unable to pursue him.

Who could blame her for her speed, which completely crushed him.

Let alone these dozen breaths, Ge Xian suspected that even if he were given another half an incense stick's worth of time, Yelü Yuyan would still catch up to him.

Now, that plan was also ruined.

Fortunately, Ge Xian had more than one option from the very beginning.

He first looked into the distance, towards the still somewhat distant "sea exit."

Then, he suddenly made his move and cast a spell.

"Water, come!"

"Mist, come!"

The dragon body of the Foundation Establishment Realm, by properly casting the Secret Treasure Scroll technique, immediately displayed astonishing power.

The water flow, which had been forcibly stopped, surged again, with surging waves, swirling currents, heading towards the East Sea. At the same time, above the water surface, masses of dark mist rose, condensing into clouds, with rolling Yin energy, possessing an aura that could cover the sky and sun.

At this moment, Ge Xian finally released Yelü Yuyan from beneath him, allowing her to be swept away by the water and black mist.

As for himself, he suddenly turned and swam upstream, frantically rushing back towards Sunset Mountain.

Not long after, he saw the only familiar figure in the distant chaotic battlefield, Bai Fugui, who resembled a Dairy Cow Spirit Demon.

This fellow immediately cast a spell, transforming his dragon head, which disregarded all living beings, into the "head" of his Human Merchant form.

To outsiders, it looked like a divine being with a human head and a dragon body.

However, this strange true dragon was currently shouting loudly:

"Bai Fugui! Sister Fugui! Sister Bai!"

"Quick, save me! Yelü Yuyan, the daughter of the great traitor Yelü Tianzheng, is chasing me, this great loyal minister."
