Star Dou Great Forest...
At the bottom of Lake of Life...
"Get your hand off me!"
Gu Yuena bit down on the lewd fox's earlobe.
"Oh no! My hand has a mind of its own!"
Bai Tu was aghast!
Gu Yuena bit down hard on Bai Tu's ear!
"Move around again, and I'll cripple you with my own hands!"
Gu Yuena's voice rang in Bai Tu's ear, sounding either bashful or vicious.
"Damn it! I told you my hand has a mind of its own!"
"And so does my little fox!"
Bai Tu protested indignantly, but still backed away two steps, following his instincts.
Gu Yuena's gaze sharpened. Water surged around her alluring body, transforming into a water-blue dress.
Her violet eyes, glistening with moisture, studied Bai Tu standing before her.
Bai Tu's face looked quite youthful at the moment.
His hair wasn't the same white as his true form, either.
Instead, it was silver, almost the same color as Gu Yuena's. It seemed he had been affected by the intertwining of Fate.
He wasn't very tall, standing about a head shorter than Gu Yuena.
Roughly 1.6 meters tall.
Gu Yuena's gaze traveled downward...
Gu Yuena nodded lightly. She was fairly satisfied with this little fox.
"Not bad. Your features are just a bit youthful."
Gu Yuena gave her verdict.
Bai Tu objected unhappily. He was already quite satisfied with having reached this size!
He had plenty of time to grow up. He could use his cheat to fight his way through the heavens long ago!
"Your courage has grown since you took human form?"
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Tu's little fox, standing proudly, with amusement.
"I almost made it through the Dragon Gate! What have I got to be afraid of?"
Bai Tu tilted his head up, utterly unconcerned by Gu Yuena inspecting his little fox.
"Fair enough."
Gu Yuena nodded, then waved her sleeve and dressed Bai Tu in a matching little dress, only smaller.
"In this form, I won't feel bad when I put you through your training."
Gu Yuena watched Bai Tu inspect his clothes with a teasing smile.
Back when he'd been a little white fox, he had been absolutely adorable—especially to the women, Gu Yuena, Zi JI, and Bi Ji.
Zi JI and Bi Ji had doted on him endlessly,
and Gu Yuena, who only woke up once in a while, often ended up giving in to his watery, blinking fox eyes.
The other beasts, meanwhile, had been even more afraid to offend the little ancestor.
They were all afraid he'd whisper something bad about them in Gu Yuena's ear one day!
"If you can, I hope you'll wear white stockings when you beat me."
Bai Tu let go of his skirt, which he'd hitched up, and said seriously.
He really did need a little more fighting power. Since he had such a powerful cheat, he naturally had to go out and challenge that certain San to a match!
(Tang San: You mean you want me to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill on your Propagation?)
Snap!
Gu Yuena snapped her fingers.
Her water-blue dress turned into a close-fitting white underlayer, with a white jacket draped over her shoulders.
And beneath the white shorts that reached halfway down her thighs were the white stockings Bai Tu had wished for.
"If you can, I hope Mistress Sister will kick me a couple more times!"
Bai Tu looked with satisfaction at Gu Yuena's white stockings and bare feet, then made another wish!
"Heh. As you wish. After we're done, I'll take you out for something delicious!"
Gu Yuena chuckled. Water swept around Bai Tu, and they appeared inside Small Space in an instant!
Bai Tu took a deep breath. He was just about to say he'd get serious when he noticed the two people and one beast watching...
"Mistress Sister, let's kill that bug first!"
Bai Tu's serious expression instantly turned cold and merciless.
He could accept wearing a skirt for Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, and Zi JI to see.
After all, Bi Ji had practically raised him, and the other two were beautiful, too.
But what did that big bug have to do with anything?!
How dare he peep at the White Emperor and Empress's little private moment!
"He deserves to die!"
Bai Tu protested angrily!
"Hehe~"
Bi Ji smiled gently, naturally understanding why Bai Tu was upset.
"Still wearing a flowery skirt?"
Zi JI's pale-purple lips curled upward. The moment she opened her mouth, she was stirring the pot.
"Enough joking around. The Ice Silkworm is sealed, so it can't see the outside world."
Gu Yuena shook her head with a soft laugh, then casually reinforced Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's seal.
"Come on! Let's see if you've really been hiding your strength for the past hundred years, or if you're actually just lousy!"
Elemental power swirled around Gu Yuena.
"So you noticed..."
Bai Tu froze.
"I bet he's been pretending."
Zi JI turned to Bi Ji and whispered.
"You're underestimating foxes!"
Bi Ji suppressed a laugh.
"Come on~"
Gu Yuena beckoned to Bai Tu, then changed him into a white outfit suited for battle.
"Yang Pole Illuminating the World, Separation Fire—full bloom!"
Bai Tu's expression shifted. A mischievous smile curled his lips!
His amber eyes suddenly lit up!
A huge red tail appeared behind him!
Then it slammed toward Gu Yuena!
Gu Yuena didn't dodge. She reached out with her jade-white hand and caught the falling tail!
"Hm?"
Gu Yuena furrowed her brow. She could feel a strange force trying to enter her body.
"Then come on in!"
Gu Yuena lowered her defenses, feeling the power attach itself to her meridians.
It seemed to be hindering her ability to recover? And it had other effects, too?
"Interesting~"
Gu Yuena smiled.
Though she still hadn't figured out Bai Tu's little trick, this move alone told her that the lazy little white fox had been hiding plenty!
"Absolute Zero Domain!"
Bai Tu's silver hair fluttered as a wave of cold spread from him, freezing the entire battlefield!
With Gu Yuena making no effort to resist, it froze her bare feet in their white stockings, too!
"Exorcism Form One!"
Bai Tu gritted his teeth and contorted his face into a fierce expression!
A red fox-humanoid spirit appeared behind him!
The figure could only be made out indistinctly, its mouth seeming to shout something as it clenched its fist and drew it to its abdomen, then suddenly struck!
Gu Yuena still chose to put up only a simple defense, wanting to see Bai Tu's moves!
But as the punch came at her, she suddenly sensed the strange Separation Fire inside her start to run wild!
Clang~
A crisp sound rang out, and a layer of ice covered the battlefield.
It was as if everything that had just happened had been an illusion.
"Were you trying to kill me?!"
Gu Yuena glared at Bai Tu. If that attack had really landed, the Separation Fire would have gone wild and triggered the Asura Divine Power, too. Would she have walked away unscathed?
"Huff, huff..."
Bai Tu panted, looking at Gu Yuena apologetically.
He hadn't expected Gu Yuena to take his Separation Fire straight into her body!
If Gu Yuena hadn't reacted quickly and extinguished both Exorcism Form One and the Separation Fire inside her, he might have punched her into another ten-thousand-year injury.
He'd developed this set for Tang Wulin, twenty thousand years in the future.
Though he'd borrowed the moves directly from various fox predecessors, he hadn't finished refining them yet.
Basically, the first move inflicted heavy damage and lowered defense, while also applying a super break!
The second move was for control. He only needed to restrain the opponent for an instant!
The third move was a straight-up combo!
Armor break, then detonate the super break. Let's see if I can kill you!
Of course, all three moves were long-range techniques he'd practiced specifically to counter Tang Wulin.
He didn't think Tang Wulin could steal Mistress Sister away after he'd spent twenty thousand years by her side.
