The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 243 Death in the White Night

Beast King City.

Ten fox tails pierced the night sky as Bai Qi's figure landed in front of the Beast King's Palace, which was built of bluestone.

The moonlight cast his shadow long and slender, and his snow-white animal skin coat fluttered gently.

His gaze fell on the totem pole in front of the hall, where fresh claw marks and wood chips were still visible, indicating that a fierce fight had taken place not long ago.

"Your Highness?"

Two fox-clan beastmen guards in front of the Beast King's Palace stared in disbelief at Bai Qi's sudden appearance.

One of them couldn't help but rub his eyes: "Didn't you go to the main sect in the Upper Realm? What happened?"

Before the orc guard could continue speaking, he was horrified to discover that the Third Prince actually had ten fox tails.

Is this the legendary ten-tailed celestial fox?

What exactly did the Third Prince experience in the Upper Realm?
Bai Qi was extremely anxious and ignored the shocked and bewildered looks on the two guards' faces.

He kicked open the palace door and rushed in, leaving only a few words floating in the air: "How is Father? Where is the Crown Prince?"

The two guards exchanged glances, then one of them realized what was happening and quickly chased after them: "Third Prince, please wait! The First Prince is currently in the main hall."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Qi had already disappeared from sight.

Bai Qi sped all the way to the main hall.

From afar, one could hear Chu Youyou's sweet, cloying voice, as well as her elder brother Bai Ye's chilling threat.

His eyes turned slightly cold. He didn't rush in immediately, but stopped outside the main hall, peering through the half-open animal skin curtain.

Then they saw Chu Youyou holding a bowl of medicine, standing smiling in front of her father's bed.

"Father is old and should abdicate in favor of a worthy successor."

Chu Youyou's sweet voice was laced with honeyed malice, "Your Highness is the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne, don't you think?"

A dull thud echoed from inside the palace, followed by the king's weak, angry roar: "Get out..."

Through the half-open animal skin curtain, Bai Qi saw his father being held down on the couch by his elder brother, who was using a fox tail to strangle him. The elder brother cursed viciously, "Old man, don't push your luck."

The king's throat was being tightly gripped by his elder brother's fox tail. His usually majestic face had turned bluish-purple, and his snow-white fox tail was weakly pounding against the stone bed, like a dying fish.

Inside the main hall.

"rebellious son"

The old beast king spat out broken words through clenched teeth, "How dare you poison me?"

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Qi's eyes instantly reddened, and he could no longer suppress his anger, rushing inside.

The ten fox tails swept across like sharp swords, instantly sending Bai Ye flying.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

Bai Ye slammed heavily against the wall and rolled to the ground, wincing in pain as blood spilled from his mouth.

Chu Youyou was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that her face turned pale. The medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and the medicine spilled all over the floor.

She looked up and saw Bai Qi standing at the door with a gloomy face, his ten fox tails moving without wind, like a demon walking out of hell.

"Your Highness?"

Chu Youyou's face paled instantly, and she instinctively wanted to run away.

His mind was screaming for help: "System, Bai Qi is here! Why didn't you warn me? What should we do now?"

Unfortunately, the system pretended to be dead at the crucial moment, and there was no response no matter how she called out to it.

It's as if it disappeared.

Chu Youyou's face was extremely ugly, and she could only watch helplessly as Bai Qi's fox tail cleaved through the air like a blade.

Then, suddenly, the fox's tail wrapped around him and slammed him into a stone pillar.

"Crack..." The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

"what--"

Chu Youyou let out a shrill scream as her body rolled onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Her vision went black, and her whole body was in excruciating pain.

Looking up, she met Bai Qi's eyes, filled with utter disgust, as if he were looking at rotting prey.

That look made her extremely uncomfortable, and she secretly cursed the system.

What kind of lousy system is this?

They can't help at all when it matters!

And this Bai Qi, shouldn't he be deeply in love with me and devoted to me?
Why does it look like you're about to beat yourself to death?
That's not how the script was written!
A while ago, she had a dream in which she was the female protagonist of a beast-themed otome game and had collected more than a dozen handsome and powerful beast husbands.

Bai Qi, Bai Ye, Bai Shuang, Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Xuan Yuan Ming, Feng Su… are all her beast husbands, begging her to sleep with them every night, and constantly vying for her attention…

She was so happy that she was immersed in her dream and didn't want to wake up.

Unfortunately, dreams always come to an end, and once you wake up, everything returns to normal, and things will be the same as before.

Apart from Bai Ye and Bai Shuang, whom she has already won over, the rest are none of her concern, and they don't even give her a second glance.

Xuanyuan Ming had arrived long ago, leaning against the totem pole with his arms crossed, watching the show. His dragon horns were faintly visible in the shadows, but he didn't rush to show himself.

"Where's the antidote?"

Bai Qi didn't look at Chu Youyou again. His fox tail wrapped around Bai Ye's throat, and his voice was so soft that it was as if he was afraid of disturbing the dying old beast king. "I'll count to three."

Bai Ye's throat was strangled by the fox's tail, and his face instantly turned bluish-purple, making it difficult for him to breathe.

His gaze swept with difficulty over the ten snow-white fox tails behind Bai Qi, and he was extremely shocked.

I personally witnessed the third brother lose his three tails and flee Beast King City in a sorry state.

What exactly did the other party experience at their main sect in the Upper Domain? Not only did they recover their severed tail, but they also evolved into a ten-tailed celestial fox?
Could it be that our sect's sacred pool truly possesses such miraculous effects?

Damn it, God is so unfair.

If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to the main sect in the upper domain.

Bai Ye was utterly consumed by jealousy, a sour feeling welling up inside him. He grinned maliciously and forced out the words: "Even if you kill my father, you'll be buried with him."

He caught a glimpse of Xuanyuan Ming's barely visible figure out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly struggled violently, shouting, "Third brother...you colluded with foreign tribes, murdered your brother, and seized the throne!"

The old beast king gripped the edge of the stone bed tightly with his fingers. The poison blurred his vision, but he could still make out the ten fox tails behind his youngest son.

That was the legendary ten-tailed celestial fox.

Turbid tears streamed down his wrinkles as he recalled Bai Qi's birth mother's dying words, clutching his wrist and saying, "Protect our child."

"two."

Bai Qi ignored Bai Ye's words, and his fox tail slowly tightened, causing Bai Ye's eyeballs to bulge out and his face to turn from bluish-purple to dark purple. He had no choice but to open his mouth and desperately breathe.

Bai Ye suddenly chuckled sinisterly, "Third brother, guess what poison Father has been afflicted with?" His blood-stained fingertips suddenly ignited with purple foxfire, as if he were about to set his own heart ablaze: "The Heart-Eating Gu! If I die, Father will be buried with me!"

Actually, what the old man had wasn't the Heart-Eating Gu at all, but the Heart-Eating Poison.

This poison will kill the old man, but it has nothing to do with me.

How could he be so stupid as to use his own life to make a poison?
Therefore, it was only to save his life, and he would never actually use foxfire to set his heart on fire.

It was just to scare the third son, to prevent him from making any rash moves.

Bai Qi was unaware of the truth, and the fox tail suddenly froze.

He stared at the purple foxfire that was getting closer and closer to Bai Ye's heart from his fingertips, his eyes surging with ferocity.

The Heart-Eating Gu is a curse that binds the life of the victim to the caster. If Bai Ye is forcibly killed, the King's heart meridian will also be severed, resulting in his death.

"Third Brother"

The old beast king suddenly coughed violently, black blood trickling down the corner of his mouth. "Never mind, I'll kill this beast."

In his heart, Bai Ye was no longer his son, but a traitor plotting to seize the throne.

This eldest son, on whom he once placed great hopes, has now become his greatest pain.

He would rather die than let this beast continue to live and harm Qi'er and the fox clan.

"Father!"

Bai Qi cried out in extreme pain, wanting a thousand times to strangle Bai Ye with his fox tail, but he hesitated to do so because of his father's life.

Seeing this, Bai Ye laughed even more arrogantly: "Third brother, you don't dare to make a move, do you? Haha, I knew you wouldn't! You coward, you only deserve to live in my shadow!"

Xuanyuan Ming frowned in the shadows, his gaze falling on Bai Ye's arrogant face, his expression extremely disdainful.

People who value power highly are usually extremely afraid of death and would never use themselves to commit evil.

It's a wonder that Bai Qi, who is so intelligent, would fall for such a trick.

But I also understand that the other person is just confused because they care too much.

He suddenly stepped out of the shadows, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Youyou trying to take the opportunity to escape.

Although I don't recognize this female, I can tell she's Bai Qi's enemy.

He grabbed Chu Youyou by the back of her collar and tossed her back to the center of the hall like a chick.

Chu Youyou fell and was completely disoriented. Her face landed squarely on the ground, and her newly grown front teeth slammed into the floor tiles—the pain was indescribable.

The pain brought tears to her eyes, but thankfully she didn't lose her front tooth, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

"What are you running for?"

Xuanyuan Minglong flicked his tail, sweeping her to Bai Qi's feet. "Your prey."

Bai Qi looked down at Chu Youyou, who was trembling at his feet, his ten fox tails casting a cold shadow in the candlelight.

He suddenly chuckled softly, using the tip of his fox tail to lift her chin: "Your front teeth have grown in?"

Chu Youyou trembled all over, forcing a sweet smile: "Third Prince, I... I was only coerced by the First Prince."

"Crack!"

A fox tail lashed out at her face, sending two of her front teeth flying.

Bai Qi slowly retracted the fox tail that had whipped Chu Youyou away: "This prince hates lying females the most."

Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Xuanfeng rushed in, covered in blood, breathing heavily, and said, "Third Prince, Miss Xiyue asked me to deliver a message—"

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that the occasion was a bit inappropriate, and his voice got stuck in his throat.

Bai Qi was slightly taken aback. His fox tail instinctively loosened its grip on Bai Ye's neck. He looked at Xuan Feng, who had suddenly appeared, and asked, "What did Yue'er say?"

Xuan Yuanming also looked at Xuan Feng, very curious about what message Yue'er had asked him to bring, and why it was so urgent.

Bai Ye gasped for breath, reaching up to touch the bloodstains on his throat, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

He suddenly sprang up, his purple foxfire shooting straight at Bai Qi's back: "Die, all of you!"

Xuanyuan Ming happened to notice this scene, and with a sweep of his dragon tail, he slammed Bai Ye into the wall, then rolled down, sending rubble flying.

He stared intently at Bai Ye, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Fool, the Heart-Eating Gu requires heart's blood as a catalyst, and there are no traces of the spell on your body."

Bai Qi suddenly realized what was happening, and his ten fox tails instantly wrapped around Bai Ye's limbs and throat.

The sound of bones shattering, accompanied by piercing screams, echoed throughout the hall.

He suddenly chuckled: "Brother, do you know what the fox clan is best at?"

One of the fox tails suddenly pierced Bai Ye's brow.

The Soul Searching Technique was activated, and Bai Ye's eyes darted around wildly, foaming at the mouth.

A moment later, Bai Qi withdrew his fox tail, and the blood-stained tail pulled out half a packet of medicine powder from Bai Ye's bosom.

"So it was the Heart-Eating Poison."

His voice was terrifyingly soft, “I overestimated your courage.”

After being subjected to soul-searching, Bai Ye collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness: "Third brother, you...you'll die a horrible death!"

After saying that, he collapsed to the ground and fell silent.

Bai Qi coldly retracted his fox tail, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He turned and ran towards the old beast king's bedside.

The old beast king's face was ashen, his breathing was weak, and black blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Father!"

Bai Qi grasped those withered hands with trembling hands, his voice choked with emotion: "Now there's an antidote, you'll get better soon."

As he spoke, he was about to pour the antidote for the Heart-Eating Poison into the old beast king's mouth.

But the old beast king weakly reached out to stop him.

Tears welled in his cloudy old eyes. He shook his head slightly and, with trembling hands, took out the Beast King Seal from the hidden compartment of the stone bed: "It's too late. The Heart-Eating Poison has already entered the heart meridian. Even a god cannot save it."

He coughed up a mouthful of black blood, staining Bai Qixue's white robes crimson, and with all his remaining strength squeezed out a sentence: "Beast King City is entrusted to you... Protect... the Fox Clan well..."

Bai Qi could no longer hold back his tears and nodded heavily: "Father, rest assured, your son will definitely protect the fox clan."

Having received Bai Qi's promise, the old beast king seemed to have fulfilled a wish, and a smile appeared on his face. His tightly clenched hands slowly loosened, and he completely lost his breath.

"Father!"

Bai Qi lay prostrate before the bed, his heart filled with unbearable grief.

Xuan Yuanming and Xuan Feng stood to the side with complicated expressions. They wanted to offer comfort, but didn't know what to say.
