Chapter 239 Charming Feizhao 4
"Wait! We're being followed."

Suddenly, a small pink figure popped out from the sleeve, its mechanical eyes flashing a warning red light:
"Rooftop! Three o'clock!"

Several crows perched silently on the eaves, their scarlet eyes gleaming ominously in the night.

One of them suddenly turned its neck mechanically, making a chilling clicking sound.

The metallic wings gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"It's a phantom reconnaissance machine specially made by the fox clan!"

Fei Zhao's tail instantly bristled, with each dark red hair standing on end.

"Solve them."

Before Su An'an could finish speaking, Fei Zhao flicked out several foxfires from her fingertips, which shot towards the roof like arrows.

Before the crows could even sound the alarm, they were engulfed by foxfire, which exploded into dazzling bursts of sparks in the night sky.

"Your Highness, the priest has hidden in the alley at three o'clock." Little Pink sent a red dot to lock onto the target.

Su An'an and Fei Zhao rushed in like lightning and intercepted the priest in the green robe.

The young priest was so startled by the sudden appearance of the two that he stumbled and almost dropped the cub in his arms.

"Aoba?"

Fei Zhao narrowed her eyes and recognized the young priest who was always silent at the council of elders.

"who are you?"

Aoba stepped back, holding the cub, her back against the cold wall.

She was certain she didn't recognize the pink-eared girl with a bow and the black-haired nerdy guy in front of her.

Could they be assassins sent by the elders?!
Qingye gritted her teeth and launched a mental attack without hesitation, the invisible mental shock heading straight for Su An'an's mind.

Su An'an groaned, veins bulging on her forehead.

But her divine light instantly rebounded, directly deflecting Qingye's spiritual power!
"Ugh!" Qingye staggered backward, almost dropping the cub in her arms.

Su An'an stepped forward, forcefully snatched the cub, and quickly checked its injuries.

Aoba knelt on the ground, her voice trembling: "Please, don't hurt her, I'm willing to go back and be punished!"

Su An'an was taken aback, and then she realized.

Aoba wasn't an enemy; he just wanted to save the child!

Just then, more than a dozen fully armed guards suddenly emerged from both ends of the alley and surrounded them!
"Traitor Aoba! And her accomplices!"

The lead guard shouted sternly, "Take them all down!"

Aoba looked up in surprise, not expecting that the two people in front of him were not assassins sent by the elders at all!

She suddenly grabbed Su An'an's wrist, her voice urgent:

"Come with me! I know a way!"

Fei Zhao sneered, and dark red foxfire suddenly erupted, sweeping through the entire alley like a tidal wave!
"Trying to arrest us? Try it!"

Blinded by the foxfire, the guards roared and charged forward.

Holding the cub, Su An'an kicked the nearest enemy over.

Qingye quickly formed hand seals, using his spiritual power to create a barrier that temporarily blocked the pursuers.

"This way!"

She dragged Su An'an and Fei Zhao through several hidden alleys, and stopped after confirming that they had shaken off their pursuers.

"Give her to me, I know a safe place."

Aoba, panting, reached out to take the cub.

Su An'an turned slightly to protect the cub in her arms, her gaze sharp as she looked at her:
Aoba was taken aback, then smiled bitterly:

“I don’t know who you are, but you’re willing to risk your lives to help me, so you must also want to save this cub.”

"We don't want to save this one," Su An'an said calmly. "We want to save everyone!"

Aoba's voice trembled: "Who...who are you?"

Su An'an and Fei Zhao exchanged a glance and simultaneously dropped their pretenses.

The Crown Princess's true face was revealed; Fei Zhao's nine fox tails gleamed coldly in the moonlight. Qing Ye's pupils contracted sharply, and she staggered back a step.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess?! Lady Fei Zhao?!"

Su An'an nodded, her voice steady: "Tell me everything you know."

Aoba's fingertips trembled slightly, her eyes filled with struggle.

Finally, she took a deep breath and said with a determined look, "Okay, I'll tell you."

She lowered her voice and explained quickly:
"The elders fed the 'mutated bone-crushing grass' with the blood of the cubs."

"This grass comes from a secluded tribe, the Bone-Broken Tribe."

“The Shattered Bone Tribe?!” Fei Zhao’s pupils contracted sharply, and his tail straightened instantly.

Qingye nodded and continued, "The mutated bone-crushing grass can be used to extract a special kind of scale powder, which can be mixed into the 'scale powder awakening ritual'."

"It's possible to forcibly upgrade the grade of a high-potential cub, but the price is..."

Her voice trembled, “Sacrificing the life of the mixed-race cub.”

Su An'an's eyes suddenly turned cold: "So the Blood Purification Spring doesn't purify bloodlines at all, but rather selects sacrificial offerings?"

Aoba nodded heavily: "I had previously filed an anonymous report with the court, which aroused the suspicion of the elders."

“If this cub hadn’t been so weak, I wouldn’t have risked bringing her out.”

Qingye looked at the thin little female cub in Su An'an's arms with pity.
"It's a good thing we ran into you, otherwise she and I would both be dead."

Su An'an asked, "Where is the Shattered Bone Tribe?"

"I don't know," Aoba shook her head.

“I know,” Fei Zhao suddenly said.

Su An'an and Qingye looked at him in shock at the same time.

“My mother was from the Broken Bone tribe,”

Fei Zhao's fingertips unconsciously caressed the necklace tag on her chest, her voice hoarse:

"After she became a saint, she left for some reason."

Su An'an made a quick decision:
"Qingye, take this child to Yeyuan and ask him to arrange for the Tribunal to protect all the imprisoned cubs."

Aoba hesitated: "Then you..."

"Let's go to the Shattered Bone Tribe."

Su An'an's voice was firm, "Since this is the source, then let's cut it off completely."

Aoba took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the cub:

"Okay, I will contact Lord Yeyuan as soon as possible."

As Aoba turned to leave with the cub in her arms, she suddenly stopped, hesitated, and turned back to whisper:
"It is said that the Broken Bone Tribe never accepts outsiders, and even if you know the location, you can't get in."

Fei Zhao stroked the necklace pendant on her chest, her cold face appearing particularly sharp in the moonlight: "I have a way."

Once Qingye's figure disappeared at the alley entrance, Su An'an immediately turned to Fei Zhao: "What's the plan?"

Fei Zhao slowly removed the necklace; the metal pendant gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"Continuing the tale of an orphan girl searching for her family, but this time..."

He paused for a moment, his red eyes flashing in the shadows, "You are impersonating my mother Gu Xue's lost bloodline."

"Great idea!" Su An'an reached out to take the sign.

Fei Zhao suddenly withdrew her hand, her Adam's apple bobbing:
"This operation is very dangerous."

Su An'an raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Underestimating me? What dangers haven't I seen along the way?"

“It’s different.” Fei Zhao gripped the necklace tag tightly; the broken bones inside suddenly became scalding hot.
"The Shattered Bone Tribe has always been mysterious, and now that they are colluding with the rebels, they may be even more cruel to Gu Xue's bloodline."

"Then crush them completely!"

Su An'an's voice was resolute: "The Empire will never tolerate any evil deeds that harm cubs and females, no matter how well they hide them."

Under the moonlight, their eyes met, and they both saw the fighting spirit burning in each other's eyes.

The sign trembled slightly in Fei Zhao's palm, as if sensing the approaching storm.
