Chapter 312 Taking the Phantom Fox Back
The fox's eyes, which shimmered with a pale purple light, were filled with doubt.
The person carrying her daughter on her back was asking why this human was calling her his daughter.
Could it be one of its own kind that has already taken human form? Or perhaps one with whom it had a close relationship before?
"Yoo-woo~" The little fox rolled around on its mother's back, acting cute.
Huanhu glanced at Ye Nanxiao, took two steps back, and was about to leave.
"This is not your hometown. Your hometown is very far away from here. You are not native soul beasts here, so you will definitely be driven away by the native soul beasts. Moreover, the climate here is not suitable for your survival. Why don't you come with me for the time being?" Ye Nanxiao's head sprouted a pair of fluffy fox ears. He tilted his head slightly and raised his eyebrows at Huanhu.
"Aww?" The phantom fox looked at the fox ears that had sprouted on Ye Nanxiao's head, and the fox eyes immediately lost some of their wariness.
"Let me explain," Xue Di said, emerging from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows.
Upon seeing the Snow Empress, the Illusion Fox let out a long cry and then made a gesture of submission to her.
The Snow Emperor was originally ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts and was the king of the far north, so she naturally carried the aura of a king.
Faced with the king of soul beasts, the Illusion Fox naturally chose to submit.
Even though the Snow Emperor was not the ruler of her Illusion Fox clan.
The little fox reached out its paw and gently touched the fur on its mother's head, making a puzzled sound, "Yo yo?"
The phantom fox plucked the little phantom fox off and called out softly.
Little Illusion Fox looked at Snow Empress. Although she didn't understand, she still obeyed Illusion Fox's command and made a gesture of submission to Snow Empress.
With a flick of her sleeve, the Snow Emperor sent out two snowflakes that landed on the heads of the Illusion Fox and Little Illusion Fox.
"Stay close to him and conceal your presence," Xue Di said, pointing at Ye Nanxiao and addressing the Illusion Fox and her son.
The phantom fox nodded, opened its mouth, picked up the little phantom fox, and tossed it onto its back, its fox eyes looking at Ye Nanxiao.
"They can be taken away now. I've cast a shield of the Frozen Flower's aura on them." Xue Di returned to Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
Ye Nanxiao turned his head and looked around. The soul beasts trapped in the illusion of the phantom fox were still standing, their eyes full of blankness.
"Let these soul beasts disperse," Ye Nanxiao said.
The phantom fox nodded, and a faint purple glow appeared on its fur.
The surrounding spirit beasts immediately retreated.
Ye Nanxiao reached out and placed his hand on the phantom fox, enveloping it with his soul power. He then tucked the little phantom fox into his arms and said, "Let's go!"
The outermost edge of the Jingyang Mountains.
Exhausted from fleeing, Dong Wuye only stopped to rest temporarily after destroying three soul-guided thrusters in succession.
"Take a headcount! Send two people to the front to keep watch! Just in case that beast has any other tricks up its sleeve!" Dong Wuye ordered.
"Yes!" A guard accepted the order and left.
Dong Wuye plopped down on the ground, his face terribly gloomy.
The fine dust on the ground was shaken up.
Sensing the ground tremble, Dong Wuye jumped up instantly, his body tense, and several soul tools appeared on his body.
The metal body of the all-terrain soul-guided detector came into Dong Wuye's sight.
"So they were allies! You scared the hell out of me!" Dong Wuye patted his chest.
The all-terrain soul guide detector stopped not far from Dong Wuye, and Ju Zi and Ke Ke flew out wearing flying soul guides.
Because of Dong Wuye's identity as a garrison soldier of the Jingyang Mountains, Ju Zi did not allow Huo Yuhao to come along.
The two women landed not far in front of Dong Wuye.
"Dong Wuye, what are you up to this time?" Keke asked.
Dong Wuye sat down on the ground again, spat hard at the ground beside him, and said, "I was killed by a phantom fox this time. I originally planned to kill that beast and absorb its soul ring once my cultivation was more stable, but I didn't expect that beast to actually escape from the military camp!"
"When I led my men into the mountains and captured that beast, we inexplicably encountered a soul beast rampage! Now that I think about it, it must have been that beast's doing!"
After listening to Dong Wuye's complaints, Ju Zi asked coldly, "Where did you get the Illusion Fox from?"
Dong Wuye glanced at Ju Zi, knowing he couldn't afford to offend her, and said in a low voice, "I bought it from a cross-border merchant, and it cost me all my savings over the years!"
"A cross-border merchant?" Orange wondered.
"The border area hasn't been peaceful lately, with many riots. The garrison forces have been violently suppressing them, and the towns have been destroyed and need to be rebuilt. This has attracted a large number of cross-border merchants. Merchants are all profit-driven! They're taking the opportunity to make a fortune!" Dong Wuye said, seemingly distressed that his savings had been taken away, and now Huanhu had even run away. He slammed his fist on the ground.
"So that's how it is, cross-border merchants. No wonder Phantom Fox appeared here. Those profit-driven guys actually dared to venture deep into the Sun and Moon. It seems that the Royal Guard has been living a life of ease for too long!" Orange's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if there were ice that had never melted for thousands of years in her eyes.
"Young General, those rioting soul beasts haven't caught up!" a guard said as he approached Dong Wuye.
Dong Wuye nodded, stood up, and shouted, "Get ready, return to the outpost, and I'll send in more men to search!"
"Your Highness, thank you very much!" Dong Wuye clenched his fist at Ju Zi, then turned and left.
"This guy is even thinking of sending troops in! If he angers the group of soul beasts in the mountains, we won't be able to complete this experiment! Damn it!" Ke Ke's face turned red with anger. She picked up a soul-guided cannon and was about to catch up with Dong Wuye, telling him to wait until her group finished their experiment before sending anyone in.
Orange grabbed Coco by the back of her collar and said, "Let's not go there, Coco. Let's try it in a different mountainous area."
When Orange dragged Keke back to the all-terrain soul guide detector, she saw Ye Nanxiao squatting on the ground, staring at each other with a phantom fox.
"What are you looking at?" Orange walked up to Ye Nanxiao and gently kicked him, asking.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the shapely, long legs and said, "This guy's trying to steal my daughter!"
"Awooo!" The phantom fox pulled the little phantom fox into its arms and growled defiantly at Ye Nanxiao, baring its teeth.
"Is this phantom fox the mother of the little phantom fox?" Orange asked.
Ye Nanxiao nodded.
"You know that too? Don't just stand here like an idiot, go drive! The army will be coming into this area soon, so to avoid trouble, we'd better leave as soon as possible!" Orange said.
Ye Nanxiao glanced silently at Huo Yuhao, who was squatting to the side eating sunflower seeds and watching the show, and asked, "Want to drive?"
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly, put away the half-eaten sunflower seeds in his hand, and got into the driver's seat.
After watching for a while, Keke sat back down in her seat and took out the Soul Cannon she had used before to carefully wipe it clean.
"Name your terms!" Ye Nanxiao took out a large bag of dog biscuits from his ring, picked one out, and waved it in front of Huanhan.
"Yo!" The little phantom fox stared intently at the biscuit in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
The phantom fox gently nibbled on the little phantom fox's head, a hint of disgust in its eyes.
Ye Nanxiao summoned his martial spirit, took out a bunch of canned goods from his ring, and placed them on the ground. "How about we become sworn brothers starting today? You can call me whatever you want, and I'll call you whatever I want. What do you think, Sister Huan?"
The phantom fox stretched out its paw, opened a can, ate a couple of bites itself, and then placed the can in front of the little phantom fox.
"Yo yo!" The little fox squatted on the ground, its two chubby little paws hugging the whole can of food, burying its face in it.
"What do you plan to do with these two phantom foxes?" Orange asked as she sat back down.
Such a rare soul beast as the Phantom Fox is not suitable to be displayed in public.
Unless one has an extremely powerful background, Ye Nanxiao's background happens to be Shrek Academy.
If word gets out, it's foreseeable that countless people will come looking for trouble for Ye Nanxiao, even though he's an exchange student at Shrek Academy.
"I haven't decided yet, what do you think, Sister Huan?" Ye Nanxiao was feeding the little fox a chew toy.
"Aww." The phantom fox let out a soft cry and continued chewing on the canned food.
Ye Nanxiao's dog food tasted very good; all she could see were the canned food.
"To be a soul pet? Or to be sent back to Shrek Academy to be kept as an experimental soul beast?" Orange asked, counting on her fingers.
In today's world, many powerful families choose to raise several soul beasts that are suitable for their family's martial soul, so that the younger generation in the family can grow, cultivate, and obtain soul rings. For example, in Star Luo, the family of the White Tiger Duke and the family of the Netherworld Cat have almost the same first three soul rings among the younger generation.
Shrek Academy has a beast fighting area where a large number of spirit beasts are kept for students to hone their skills, obtain spirit rings, or conduct other experiments.
As for pets, those were a special hobby of some noble children.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly, "Neither of those. I'll see if there's any chance to send Sister Huan back to her hometown. If not, I'll trouble you to stay in Mingdu for the time being."
Orange's eyes widened, she pointed to herself, and exclaimed in surprise, "You want me to raise it?"
Does this damn fox think he has too little trouble?
These two phantom foxes are practically walking strategic rare metals, aren't they? They'd love to get entangled in trouble, right?
Orange looked at Ye Nanxiao expressionlessly, a small orange tornado blooming in her hand.
"Wait, don't get excited, listen to me first, I'm serious!" Ye Nanxiao covered his face with his hand, peeking at Ju Zi through a small gap.
"Hmm, keep trying to argue. I'll hit you after you're done." Orange held a purple orange in her hand, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she stared quietly at Ye Nanxiao.
Before Ye Nanxiao could explain, Ju Zi felt a wet touch on her hand. Looking down, she saw that it was Little Illusion Fox licking her hand.
The little fox pointed with its chubby little paws at the purple-skinned orange in Orange's hand, its two big eyes gazing at Orange with teary eyes.
After a moment of eye contact, Orange picked up the little fox, gently peeled the purple orange, and fed it to the little fox.
"Let's get one! Let's get one! They're so cute!" Orange couldn't control her facial expression, her lips curving upwards.
Ye Nanxiao chuckled. He suddenly remembered a joke about raising cats from his past life.
Don't be afraid of your parents' scolding. Just bring the cat home and let the cat handle the rest!
"Little Orange, your behavior is called 'it smells so good'!" Ye Nanxiao patted Huanhu on the shoulder. "Sister Huan, from now on, follow me! Food, lodging, and resources provided. All you have to do is transform like the Big Boss when the time comes!"
"Huh?"
Sorry it's late, I forgot the time.
