I Am Your Natural Enemy

The woman slowly opened her eyes. Her seductive, fox-like eyes seemed to be soul-snaring.

Just one glance, and the White Fox Tribe Leader felt his heart pounding uncontrollably.

The woman stretched out her slender fingers, massaged her head, and absorbed the sacrificial offering from the sacrificer, which also contained some memories and knowledge.

After looking them over, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and let out a light chuckle.

At that moment, the protective barrier enveloping the area exploded with a BANG.

Wen Yan, wielding the Chunjun Mace, unleashed an explosive burst of power that exceeded the barrier’s limit for containing wondrous items.

Fierce Yang Energy roared in. The woman, draped in a fox fur cloak, tightened it around herself. Her body, like a leaf in the wind, drifted out with the surging Yang Energy.

After landing, she widened her eyes, watching the flame-enshrouded Wen Yan stride toward her. She took a light breath, and a gleam suddenly appeared in her eyes.

It was as if she had been starved for three days straight. Now, she was continuously inhaling, absorbing the Yang Energy drifting in the air. Her throat bobbed, as if she were constantly swallowing.

Seeing Wen Yan’s imposing aura, the White Fox Tribe Leader’s heart sank. But upon seeing the seductive and beautiful woman, his confidence returned.

”Descendant of the Nine-Tailed White Fox branch, the current Tribe Leader, respectfully welcomes the return of the Ancestor.”

The White Fox Tribe Leader’s eyes were filled with fervor as he bowed respectfully.

The woman glanced around, looked at Wen Yan, whose Yang Energy was fierce, and then at the White Fox Tribe Leader, lightly taking a step back.

”You’ve mistaken me for someone else; I am not a White Fox from Tu Shan.”

The White Fox Tribe Leader lifted his head, his face a mask of astonishment.

The woman had noticed the murderous intent in Wen Yan’s eyes; he had clearly come to kill.

To come here, her original body had just been annihilated, turning to ash and smoke. Her newly reconstituted body was incredibly vulnerable. Moreover, the materials used for its reconstitution seemed to have serious problems, with severe aftereffects.

Under such circumstances, she had no wish to confront someone whose Yang Energy was so ferocious. Furthermore, a Ghost followed him, and even it was Grim-eyed.

She had just received quite a bit of information, gaining some understanding of the modern world.

Even with the same memories, she wasn’t as wildly arrogant as those other Fox Demons; she found this era rather dangerous.

Especially from the memories in the sacrificial offering, she knew there was also a Heavenly Master whose true strength was unknown.

The woman clutched her cloak, wrapping it around her body, looking pitiful.

”I am not any ancestor of yours; you’ve got the wrong person.”

The White Fox Tribe Leader felt his mind was about to shatter. He had just sensed it; this ancestor was undoubtedly of the Nine-Tails Bloodline, so why would she say this now?

The woman stepped back, giving Wen Yan a pitiable look.

”I don’t know him; this has nothing to do with me.”

Seeing this, Wen Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

He looked down at the White Fox Tribe Leader kneeling on the ground, finding the situation utterly ironic.

”Is this really the outcome you’ve been wanting?”

He had summoned something, only for it to outright deny any connection with him.

When the woman saw the White Fox Tribe Leader looking at her, she blinked innocently and said, ”Don’t look at me like that; it’s your own foolishness. Did you even think? The Tu Shan Clan holds itself in high esteem; how could they possibly allow themselves to be summoned by such crude means? A mere token should have been sufficient to establish a connection. Only a Demon Fox like me, so desperate as to be unselective, would respond to such a crude and repulsive ritual.”

”Not from Tu Shan...” The White Fox Tribe Leader’s face paled. He still couldn’t accept it; his mind was reeling.

”Yes, a Demon Fox from Qing Qiu,” the woman stated as if it were a matter of fact.

With that single sentence, the White Fox Tribe Leader felt as if his spirit had been drained, his spine shattered. His lifelong aspiration had come to this.

”This has nothing to do with me, though. I only heard about it from my great-great-great-grandmother before she passed away. Back in her day, she had a feud with the Tu Shan Clan and secretly altered some of their records. You didn’t actually believe that was true, did you? Surely not? Anyone with a bit of sense would know how esteemed the Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox of Tu Shan is. How could there possibly be such a bloody and crude summoning method? If they knew, you’d be lucky if they didn’t drain your bloodline. It was something fabricated purely to antagonize the Tu Shan Clan, yet you actually believed it,” the woman said, incredulous.

The White Fox Tribe Leader spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His spirit and conviction, the very backbone of his being, were shattered by these few words.

His life’s pursuit had led him to such an outcome.

Hearing the woman’s blunt words, he knew she wasn’t lying.

Indeed, the Tu Shan Clan could not afford such humiliation...

His complexion shifted, and he began to struggle to maintain his human form.

The woman quietly backed away, appearing meek and cautious as she glanced toward Wen Yan.

”Young master, I’ve made everything clear. What he did has nothing to do with me; I’ve done nothing. You wouldn’t kill me, would you?”

Her pitiful act momentarily softened Wen Yan’s heart, making him feel as if attacking her would be a heinous crime.

But the next moment, Wen Yan’s eyelids lowered, and his Domain spread out from beneath his feet.

The White Fox Tribe Leader was instantly encompassed within, while the woman who had been speaking began to fade away.

Dozens of meters away, as the Domain expanded, the woman’s furtive figure was directly swept into it.

Only now, seeing her again, was Wen Yan certain this was her True Body.

”Nine-Tailed Fox Demon (Six-Tails) (Critically Wounded)”

”A scion of Qing Qiu’s Nine-Tails Bloodline, she responded to an ancient summons to escape her pursuers. To reach this world and evade capture, she paid the immense price of her physical body’s destruction. Unfortunately, the materials for the sacrificial offering were artificially cultivated and inherently flawed. Consequently, the reconstituted body was riddled with defects.”

”A critically wounded Demon Fox with an extremely fragile body like hers could be obliterated by a single strike of your mace, leaving her no chance to even cry out. Of course, this assumes you aren’t bewitched by her Charm.”

”Temporary Ability.

1: Iron Fist.

When you strike the target with your fist two or more times, you become immune to the target’s Charm.”
