"Hah!"
"You think this formation can trap me? Keep dreaming your grand spring-and-autumn dreams!"
With that, the woman immediately brought out two powerful magical treasures, intending to break through the formation and escape.
But the treasures had barely risen into the air before her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Finding her body beyond her control, the woman cried in terror, "What did you do to me?"
"Nothing much. I just suppressed your bloodline a little."
"You're absolutely right. This formation really is shabby. It's an incomplete formation I found in an ancient text. After some patching here and there, it barely works."
"The formation's effect is simple: it suppresses the bloodlines of the Demon Race and forces them back into their original forms."
At those words, the terror on the woman's face deepened.
"Impossible! If the Human Race had a formation like this, the Great Qian Dynasty would have used it long ago."
"Oh, come on!"
"How can a demon girl like you lack even basic common sense?"
"Of course a formation like this has limitations!"
"The Grand Formation in the ancient text could affect demons at the Golden Core stage. The formation I pieced together only works on demons in the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"And as you've seen, this formation is extremely fragile. The slightest touch could make it fall apart."
"If you hadn't wasted your chance talking just now, things might have turned out differently."
As he spoke, the woman's body gradually shrank until she had completely transformed into a little snow-white wolf.
Chen Changsheng picked up the Storage Ring the woman had dropped, examined it, and asked,
"How do I remove the restriction?"
In response to Chen Changsheng's question, the Little White Wolf on the ground spoke in a human voice. "Don't even think about it. I won't tell you. Kill me if you have the guts."
"I certainly don't have the guts to kill you, but I can shave off all your fur."
At those words, the Little White Wolf on the ground immediately grew agitated.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Why wouldn't I?"
With that, Chen Changsheng pulled out a razor.
"Swish!"
A blade flashed, and a strip of pink skin appeared on top of the Little White Wolf's head.
Feeling the chill on her scalp, pea-sized tears rolled from her wolf eyes.
"Boo-hoo!"
"I'll tell you, all right? Why are you so mean?"
After successfully obtaining the method to remove the restriction, Chen Changsheng dumped out everything in the Little White Wolf's Storage Ring.
Looking at the mountain of spirit stones and magical treasures, Chen Changsheng swallowed and said,
"You're pretty wealthy."
"Even an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator might not have as much as you."
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng put everything before him into the System Space.
Although the things the Little White Wolf carried were valuable, Chen Changsheng did not dare use them carelessly for now.
She clearly had a powerful background. Heaven only knew whether those magical treasures had been marked.
The safest approach for now was to put them into the System Space.
With the system isolating them, even the King of Heaven himself would never be able to trace his whereabouts.
Seeing this human take all her belongings, the bald Little White Wolf on the ground said tearfully,
"I've given you everything. Can you let me go now?"
"If you still don't think it's enough, I can give you more. My father is..."
Before the Little White Wolf could finish, Chen Changsheng clamped her muzzle shut.
"I don't want to know who you are, and I don't want to know who your father is."
"If you keep quiet, I'll naturally let you go once I've finished my business."
"But if I find out who you are, death will be your only way out. Do you understand?"
Hearing that, the Little White Wolf nodded with her muzzle still held shut.
"Good. Next, I'll give you a tiny little makeover. I guarantee you'll look completely different."
With that, Chen Changsheng lifted the Little White Wolf with a wicked grin.
"Aaaah!"
The woman's screams echoed through the valley, as though she were suffering some cruel punishment.
The Imperial Palace of the Night Moon Kingdom.
"What did you say?"
"Yue'er was taken away by a human!"
The Silver Moon Wolf King rose from his throne, his Spirit Transformation pressure making the demons in the hall tremble.
The two Golden Core stage demons who had lost track of the Princess were frightened nearly out of their souls.
A demon Princess had been taken away by a human. This was far too serious.
Never mind the two of them—even their entire clans could not bear the consequences!
Faced with this situation, the Wolf King frowned slightly, then repeatedly formed hand seals with his right hand, seemingly divining his daughter's whereabouts.
A moment later, the Wolf King said, "Losing track of the Princess was a dereliction of your duties. Go receive your punishment."
"Thank you, Wolf King!"
After thanking him profusely, the two Golden Core stage cultivators hurried out of the hall.
Then the Wolf King waved a hand, dismissing the servants around him.
"Elder Turtle, what do you make of this?"
An old man leaning on a cane replied, "I believe this matter is not so simple."
"The moment Yue'er was taken, I began divining her whereabouts."
"But someone seems to have concealed her movements. My divination revealed nothing but chaos."
"Such methods are certainly beyond a human Golden Core stage cultivator."
"You have a point, Elder Turtle. I just performed a divination myself, but found the workings of heaven shrouded in utter chaos."
"Anyone capable of interfering with the workings of heaven must be at least a Spirit Transformation cultivator."
"Whoever took Yue'er appears to have come prepared!"
Hearing the Wolf King's words, Elder Turtle hesitated before saying, "If this were merely a kidnapping, the matter might be much simpler."
"But I am more worried that whoever took Yue'er came because of that matter."
"The Night Moon Kingdom conquered half the Great Qian Dynasty's territory in one stroke. So many cultivators appeared out of nowhere—it would be hard not to arouse suspicion."
"And the Demon Race itself does not seem particularly united."
At those words, the Wolf King's eyes narrowed.
"The Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan?"
"Not just the Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan. The Fox Clan has also been making frequent unusual moves. They seem to know that Yue'er is the key to everything."
"Hah!"
"Since they're so eager to play, let's play along."
"This will be a good chance to show them who truly rules the Night Moon Kingdom!"
The Imperial Capital of the Night Moon Kingdom.
Holding a pitch-black, bald little mutt in his arms, Chen Changsheng looked around curiously.
Although this was the Demon Race's Imperial Capital, it looked no different from a human city.
There were simply too many demons in human form on the streets.
"Hiss!"
As he surveyed his surroundings, Chen Changsheng suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.
Looking down, he saw the little mutt in his arms biting his forearm fiercely.
"Let go!"
"No! Give me back my snow-white wolf fur!"
"I've told you many times. This ink is specially made. It won't wash off."
"If you want your original fur color back, you'll have to shave it all off and wait for new fur to grow."
"Also, since you're so upset, I'll name you Little White."
"To commemorate the fur color you've already lost."
Little White Wolf: "..."
This is too much bullying for any wolf to bear. Just you wait.
