Despite the audible thud as the celestial fox crashed into the ground, the creature never once took its eyes off Bai Xiachen’s figure. It’s as if it still didn’t understand what’s happening….
Meanwhile further behind where Bai Yan stood, a beautiful young-looking maiden had come out with a bow in hand. Proud and cocky in the face: “Celestial Fox, I’ve waited a long time for you to come out. Let’s see how you will escape from us!”
It took a moment for Bai Yan to come back to her senses from all this, but when she did, her eyes dilated inwards and caused her to jerk into action. Pulling a bottle out from storage, she swiftly gathered the needed blood and handed it to her boy.
“Xiachen, leave here with your siblings. Find a safe place and then drink this blood.”
Unfortunately, the kid clearly didn’t agree and firmly shook his little head.
“Leave now!” She frowns, “Don’t forget, you said you have to protect your sister, I’ll handle the matter here so leave!”
Despite the unwillingness to depart, Bai Xiachen nevertheless did as told after casting a look down to the two babies in his arms. He ran for the nearby bushes to first get cover.
“This celestial fox was first discovered by me so its mine!” said the young beautiful maiden who had a cocky appearance. “So you better scram!”
Pursing her own lip, Bai Yan ignored the clamor and reached for a medicinal pill instead to hand over to the fox.
“Eat this.” Startled by what it’s seeing, the celestial fox didn’t understand why a human would want to save itself.
“You hurt me, but you also saved my son so we’re even now. This pill is the reward for what you gave.”
Not giving a proper reply, the celestial fox swallowed the offering without struggle. It understood there’s nothing else to lose at this point and that was the right choice because the bleeding and pain immediately stopped.
“Who allowed you to touch my thing?!” The pompous girl exclaims, eyes flaring with anger.
Expressionless on her own face still, Bai Yan slowly gets back up from leaning down to confront the livid girl, “Who says this fox is yours? She was drawn in because of me and has nothing to do with you.”
Snorting at the rebuttal, the girl smirks derisively: “I am the Big Miss of the Celestial Clan, and our relationship with the Celestial Palace is deep and intertwined. If you offend me then only bad things will come your way. This celestial fox is something I’ve had my eye on for a long while so naturally its mine! Those who try to rob me of my things will never end well!”
Unfazed by the useless threat, Bai Yan tightly grasps onto her Godslayer which glinted dangerously under her wield: “I will not let you have it!”
“In that case then don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Gritting with frustration, the arrogant lass snaps back to her party, “You bunch go kill this woman for me! I’m taking this celestial fox now!”
“Yes, Miss!” Immediately, the group surrounded the target from all sides, their weapons brandishing with killing intent.
Even so, despite having no room for escape at this point, Bai Yan didn’t fret and looked on with uncaring indifference. Truth was she already figured out their strength – one lower level High Divine, eight average Middle Divine, and a dozen entry level Middle Divines.
