Chapter 225 Relief
She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a soft laugh behind her.

"Yue'er."

His voice was gentle and warm, with a familiar hint of teasing.

She turned around abruptly and saw Bai Qi standing not far away, his nine snow-white fox tails swaying gently in the morning light, making his features appear exquisite and androgynous.

"Bai Qi!"

Su Xiyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she walked over with a slight smile.

Catching sight of the nine snow-white fox tails behind him, her smile deepened, and she said happily, "Your tails have grown back?"

Bai Qi smiled as he looked at her, his fingertips gently brushing the strands of hair that fell on either side of her face, tucking them behind her ears: "Yes, the Sacred Pool is very effective."

He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Ye Ling, Mo Lin, and the others. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, especially when he saw their evolved forms.

But I quickly felt relieved.

Being able to regain the Nine-Tails is already a stroke of good luck, so why ask for more?

Everyone has their own path to walk and their own trials to overcome.

Bai Qi sighed inwardly, but smiled broadly on his face.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Xiyue again, his eyes gentle: "Yue'er, how have you been these past few days? They haven't bullied you, have they?"

Su Xiyue's expression stiffened slightly, then she regained her composure and shook her head gently, saying, "I'm fine."

Bai Qi noticed that her expression stiffened for a moment and wanted to ask her something.

Seeing that she seemed unwilling to say more, I swallowed back the question I wanted to ask and didn't press her further.

He turned his gaze to Xuan Yuanming beside him, still smiling, but his voice turned colder: "What's the young lord of the Dragon Clan doing here?"

Xuanyuan Ming leaned lazily against the rock wall, a hint of mockery flashing in his dark golden eyes: "I am now Yue'er's sixth beast husband."

"what?"

Bai Qi looked shocked, his fox-like eyes suddenly narrowed into slits as he abruptly looked at Su Xiyue.

Seeing her embarrassed expression and her tacit agreement, my heart sank instantly.

His smile gradually faded, and his voice turned colder, "You agree?"

While in Qingqiu, although he saw Yue'er and Xuanyuan Ming behaving intimately, he never imagined that he would take her as his sixth beast husband so quickly.

Hearing this news now, I was truly shocked.

And Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, how could they so easily agree to this?
I really can't figure it out.

Su Xiyue was a little afraid to look him in the eye, and also felt a little sorry for Bai Qi.

Xuanyuan Ming severed Bai Qi's three fox tails with his own eyes back then, but now he has taken Bai Qi as his sixth beast husband, which is indeed a bit... something.

She opened her mouth, as if to explain.

The events that occurred were too complicated to explain.

There was a long silence.

She finally spoke, saying, "Xuanyuan Ming killed the Dragon Clan's Great Witch, so he avenged me."

The voice was low, but every word clearly reached Bai Qi's ears.

The shock in Bai Qi's eyes slowly faded, replaced by an indescribable complexity.

He knew that the Dragon Clan Great Witch Princess that Yue'er mentioned was the one who had cursed Yue'er.

It was also the other party who made Yue'er ugly for more than ten years, and she suffered ridicule, scorn and mockery. It can be said that she suffered a lot of torment in body and mind.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm: "So, you accepted him as your beastly husband because of this?"

Su Xiyue nodded, then quickly shook her head, explaining somewhat anxiously, "It's not just because of that. Xuan Yuanming... I don't know how to explain it to you. In short, what happened is too complicated to explain in just a few words."

She looked conflicted, as if she didn't know how to say it.

Bai Qi looked at her conflicted expression and finally let out a soft sigh, the smile on his lips a mixture of bitterness and relief.

He reached out and gently smoothed her furrowed brow, saying softly, "Moon, I will naturally respect your decision. As long as he treats you sincerely, I have nothing to say."

Su Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. This was what she liked most about Bai Qi. No matter what she did, even if he was unwilling, he would still respect her wishes and put himself at ease.

Give her your utmost understanding and support.

Xuan Yuanming overheard their conversation, glanced at Bai Qi with a surprised expression, but said nothing.

Then he turned his attention to the battle.

At this moment, Mo Lin had completely gained the upper hand, and the snake's tail tightened its grip.

Although Mo Jiang was strong, his vital point was firmly grasped, which meant his life was in the hands of his opponent, and fear immediately arose in his heart.

What terrified him even more was that his scales were covered in frost.

It was Ye Ling's ice-type ability that spread from the snake's tail throughout her body.

Mo Jiang felt as if his blood had frozen, and his cold, serpentine eyes were filled with even greater terror.

I can't believe I've ended up like this.

Moreover, the other party was a group of younger people.

The last Tengshe beastman beside him, seeing that the situation was not good, instinctively tried to escape.

However, it was blocked by the moon wheel phantom of the green bamboo. The wind blade, as bright as moonlight, swept through the air and slashed directly at the opponent's vital spot.

"Pfft-"

Blood splattered.

The Tengshe beastman stared wide-eyed as it crashed heavily to the ground, dying with its eyes wide open.

The illusory image of the green bamboo moon slowly dissipated, then transformed into a human form. He glanced indifferently at the snake corpse on the ground.

Thinking that the venom sacs and gallbladders of these Teng serpents were valuable, even though they were useless to him, they were rare treasures to Mo Lin.

Although they are rivals in love, they are also good brothers who have gone through life and death together.

Of course, that crazy dragon Xuanyuan Ming should get as far away as possible.

He deftly removed the snake's gall bladder and venom sac.

Xuanming noticed Qingzhu's movements, chuckled, and withdrew his Netherworld Dark Flame, transforming into human form as well.

He walked over to the two snake-beasts that had been frozen to death by the Night Feathers, bent down, and dug out their gallbladders and venom sacs.

Here, under the combined attack of Ye Ling and Mo Lin, Mo Jiang's scales shattered inch by inch.

His serpentine eyes reflected Mo Lin's icy face, and he suddenly let out a hissing laugh: "I should have crushed you into mincemeat back then—"

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Lin had already severed his vital point.

Mo Jiang's enormous snake body instantly slumped limply, twisting and falling to the ground, twitching twice before becoming still.

Mo Lin landed in human form, his black snakeskin clothes stained with blood.

He silently used a bone knife to scoop out the gallbladder and venom sac from the Mojiang snake, his hand trembling.

Twenty years ago, Mojiang dug out the snake gallbladders and venom sacs of his grandfather and father in the same way.

At that time, he was just a helpless cub, forced to watch his loved ones die tragically.

Now, he has finally avenged his family, but he feels no joy, only endless sorrow and emptiness.

Ye Ling walked over, patted his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Was it only Mo Jiang who chased you back then? Were there any others?"

Mo Lin finally raised his head to look at him, his gaze somewhat empty. "There are still a few people left, who are probably already elders of the Tengshe clan."

Ye Ling frowned, a cold glint flashing in her silver eyes. "So what if they're elders? I think this Mo Jiang is nothing special. I'll find an opportunity to go with you and kill them."

Having broken through to the eighth rank and evolved into the Ancient Silver Moon Wolf, its strength is now comparable to that of some clan elders.

Even if their cultivation level is lower, their combat strength is in no way inferior, and may even be stronger.

That's his confidence.

Mo Lin gave him a deep look, but did not refuse, only nodded silently.

He knew Ye Ling was telling the truth, and he felt incredibly at ease having such a good brother by his side.

Of course, this doesn't mean I'll give Yue'er to him.

We should still fight for it; these are two completely different things.

Ye Ling withdrew her hand from Mo Lin's shoulder, her silver eyes narrowing slightly: "One thing at a time, I won't let you have your way with Yue'er's matter."

Mo Lin sneered: "No need."

The tense atmosphere between the two lasted less than three seconds before it was interrupted by Xuanming's loud voice—

"You vixen!"

Xuanming tossed the bloody snake gall and venom sac in his hand to Molin.

He moved closer to Bai Qi, reached into his robes, and pulled out a Dragon Beard Whale Beast Pill, stuffing it into Bai Qi's hand. "This is a good thing. I saved it especially for you. We broke through by consuming this stuff."

Bai Qi lowered his eyes to look at the Dragon Beard Whale Beast Core that was glowing with blue light in his palm, his fingertips tightening slightly, his expression somewhat surprised.

Completely unexpectedly, they would leave him a Dragon Beard Whale Beast Core, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Qingzhu tossed the snake gall and venom sac she had dug out to Molin, then found a place with running water to wash her hands.

He turned around, his emerald eyes sweeping over Bai Qi's nine tails, and said calmly, "This is an eighth-tier Dragon Whisker Whale Beast Core. It should be enough for you to reach the eighth tier, and with a bit of luck, you might even be able to evolve."

At this point, he glanced at Xuanming with a playful look and continued, "Of course, if you're as unlucky as Xuanming, then disregard what I said. However, the breakthrough process is a bit bloody, so be prepared."

Bai Qi rubbed the beast core between his fingertips, then suddenly chuckled, "More painful than losing a tail?"

Qingzhu shook the water droplets off her hands: "His flesh and bones were shattered and then reassembled. Xuanming was in so much pain that he rolled around in the sea, and even the seawater boiled."

"fart!"

Xuanming's ears turned bright red, and he glared at him: "Was I rolling around in the sea in pain? It was pleasurable! Stop talking nonsense."

Qingzhu scoffed, too lazy to expose him.

Bai Qi watched the two bicker, his beautiful fox-like eyes filled with even more laughter.

Xuan Yuanming looked at the Dragon Beard Whale Beast Pill in Bai Qi's hand with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These people are clearly rivals in love, yet they are willing to bring each other precious beast cores. I wonder what they are thinking.

Shouldn't we just kill them one by one?

How did they develop a brotherly bond?
He secretly grumbled to himself, but he had to admit that the friendship among these people was rare.

Xuan Yuanming looked at Su Xiyue and saw that she was watching this scene with a smile on her face, clearly very happy.

A thought flickered in his mind, and his dark golden eyes shimmered slightly.

Perhaps he could try to integrate himself into their group and understand the bond between them.

After all, he truly loved Yue'er and hoped to gain her approval and acceptance.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward, his voice sincere: "Bai Qi, congratulations on recovering your Nine-Tailed Fox. At the same time, I apologize for my previous behavior. I know you won't be able to let it go for a while, but I mean it. I can make it up to you. Just tell me what you want."

Everyone present was stunned, never expecting that Xuan Yuanming would take the initiative to apologize to Bai Qi.

Even Bai Qi himself was a little confused and couldn't quite react.
