I Am Your Natural Enemy

Wen Yan casually rolled up his cloak, wrapping the Demon Fox within it.

He checked the creature’s breath; it seemed to have merely fainted. Its head was knocked askew, though such an injury likely wasn’t fatal for a being of its kind.

Holding the swaddled Demon Fox in one hand, Wen Yan glanced into the distance. The corpses of White Foxes lay in disarray.

The Demon Soul that had been hiding among the bodies had vanished without a trace. He surmised it was likely concealed within a distant mansion.

Wen Yan chose not to reveal his awareness, casting a final look toward the fading White Fox Tribe Leader in the distance.

”With you in this state, killing you would just dirty my hands. Killing you would be letting you off too easily. I have a fitting place for you. After you get there, you can slowly regret your actions and contemplate how your entire life has been a joke from beginning to end. And the so-called revival of the White Foxes’ glory? Please, give me a break. You’re just dragging the name ’White Fox’ through the mud.”

Wen Yan departed from the Domain, allowing it to retract. He looked at the once unblemished White Jade; it now sported a few impurities, like blemishes, that became increasingly displeasing to his eye.

The Demon Fox he was holding was casually tossed to the ground. He then checked the time. Perhaps his Great Uncle Masters haven’t boarded their flight yet.

”Hey, Fourth Great-uncle Master, you haven’t boarded yet, have you?

Oh, then you don’t need to come over. I’ve found them and pretty much sorted it out.

But there’s a new problem. Those idiotic White Foxes even messed up the core elements.

They summoned a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon; that in itself isn’t the problem.

This Demon Fox used a rift to cross over, but its physical body was destroyed in transit.

The newly reconstructed body is extremely weak. It’s already been subdued.

Yes, this Demon Fox is an average specimen; it’s incapable of charming me.”

After hanging up, Wen Yan glanced at the Demon Fox lying on the ground, which had seemingly unconsciously assumed an alluring posture. He gazed down at the creature with a calm expression.

”Stop pretending. If you’re awake, get up.”

The Fox Demon opened her eyes, not the least bit embarrassed. Instead, her gaze was clear and seemed filled with wisdom. With a slight tilt of her head, she uttered an admiring sigh.

”Wow, how did you know I was awake?”

The Fox Demon’s neck moved slightly. With a CRACKLING sound, the faint bone imprints on her skin’s surface completely disappeared, and her neck was restored to its original slender, perfectly curved shape.

The Fox Demon wanted to change her strategy, but seeing Wen Yan’s calm face and the utter lack of disturbance in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, my powers are completely useless.

Still, it’s a good thing Wen Yan didn’t kill me outright.

That leaves only one reason: he needs information about the Great Wilderness from me.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this reason actually made her feel a bit more at ease.

Wen Yan then called the General Director back to give him an update. He mentioned that since the Doomsday Computer had just begun to show the Great Wilderness, and a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon from the Great Wilderness had arrived here, the two events were highly likely related. After explaining, he specifically mentioned the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon’s abilities.

Once the call ended, Wen Yan carried the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon into the mansion. Rummaging through the suitcases left behind, he casually pulled out a set of clothes and tossed them to her.

”Get dressed. If you dare to run, I’ll blow your head off.”

The Fox Demon put on an obedient expression, as docile as a new bride. In any case, she knew how to make herself appear harmless.

Of course, she also believed it. Wen Yan had dared to knock her head askew the moment they met; if it had been anyone else, they would have died then and there.

Now that he said he’d blow her head off, she believed that too. Wen Yan had the ability and the nerve to do it.

After finishing the calls and discussion, Wen Yan was preparing to continue along the Nether Path with Feng Wei and Tong Si when he noticed Tong Si couldn’t help but keep glancing at the Fox Demon, sometimes even staring blankly for a few seconds.

Wen Yan then looked at his second Temporary Ability, Alter-Face Fist, and finally understood.

He had been wondering earlier why a Temporary Ability was needed for something that seemed to require physical alteration.

It turned out this was to help others resist charm!

Switching to the Alter-Face Fist, Wen Yan turned around and, without a shred of pity for the fairer sex, landed several solid punches—THWACK! THWACK!—on the Demon Fox’s face.

With each punch, her foxy, seductive face swelled a little more. After a few hits, her face had noticeably rounded.

Her once alluring, watery fox eyes now looked as if they couldn’t fully open due to the swelling. They narrowed into thin slits, resembling someone nearsighted who had taken off their Glasses.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, inexplicably punched again and feeling the changes in herself, truly dared not make any more slight movements.

She felt a wave of panic because she could clearly sense that her face wasn’t just swollen from being hit.

She was actually getting fatter!

One touch of fat ruins everything!

Now, when Feng Wei or Tong Si looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon’s face, it held far less of its previous unique allure. At best, they now just thought she was pretty with a somewhat enticing aura.

The Fox Demon didn’t dare say anything more and could only follow Wen Yan obediently.

She felt her luck was terrible. Back in the Great Wilderness, she had been hunted by other demons with no escape in sight when she unexpectedly seized an opportunity.

Upon arriving here, just as she had reconstructed her body, she encountered this strange fellow, Wen Yan. He didn’t seem extraordinarily strong, yet somehow, he really was.

Following Wen Yan, she entered the Nether Path through the passage that had opened in the Desolate Tomb.
