Revenge!
These were things that Demonic Fox had never told anyone else before. While she had wanted to utilize the Emperor God and Nikkawa Okazaka for her revenge, but because they were both unreliable, she had said nothing about it to either of them.
Imagine the shock that hit her when she found out that someone else knew about it, and all the more, that person was Chen Xiaobei!
“Tell me now! How did you find out?! Does anyone else know about this besides you?”
Fear and anxiety filled her mind. She felt as if her deepest, darkest secret had been exposed!
“I can’t possibly explain everything in a few words but don’t you worry, I didn’t tell anyone. I promise I won’t hurt you but I’ll do my best to help you.” Chen Xiaobei reassured her, his tone sober.
It would probably take the whole day to explain everything to her. In fact, even if he told her about Moonlight Cache reversing time, the probability was high that she would not believe him.
“You’d help me? Why?” She asked, unconvinced.
Chen Xiaobei was one major asshole in her dictionary of people. She could count the number of times he bullied her. However, she was also aware that he only did that in defense when she tried to kill him on more than one occasion.
The only reason that she still remained alive today was because Chen Xiaobei took mercy on her.
The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she felt about Chen Xiaobei.
There was no hatred, but there was definitely conflict.
There was no gratitude, but Chen Xiaobei had definitely for the fact, spared her life.
There was no favorable impression, but there was definitely a lot of skin to skin contact with Chen Xiaobei more than once.
There was no admiration, but she felt a certain adoration and desire for him.
He killed Meichuan Neiku in Green Vine City and single-handedly took control of the entire auction in Paradise Island!
These were not things an ordinary man could do!
Demonic Fox’s heart was definitely shaken more than once by Chen Xiaobei.
These feelings of adoration and desire starting emerging once ahead, very subtly.
And it was under the fleeting moments of these emotions that she approached Chen Xiaobei that day, after the Paradise Island auction.
It was also then that she opened up heart-to-heart to Chen Xiaobei.
The only issue was that that particular memory was wiped away by the undoing of time.
The only thing she could recall at the moment was wanting to talk to Chen Xiaobei.
But she never told him anything. How could he have known? Why was he helping her?
That’s just too uncanny!
“I know you still don’t trust me, but you have to do as I say or we’ll both die!” Chen Xiaobei said in a tone that meant business.” The Emperor God and the four Grand Elders are brainwashing you, right now. I’ve used a Spiritual Item to wake you up. If you open you eyes or even move an inch, they will realize that they’ve failed to condition you, you’ll be useless to them then and they will just get rid of you!”
“Brain… Brainwash?” Demonic Fox was disturbed by this revelation. “No wonder it feels like I’ve been sleeping for a long time. And when I woke up, my mind was blank for a while…”
Demonic Fox came to realization that she was just a trading chip. When told that they were brainwashing her, she chose to believe Chen Xiaobei.
“I’ll try to stay as quiet and still, but could you at least tell me what you’re planning on doing next?” Demonic Fox asked.
Chen Xiaobei answered, “Just endure it for a little while more. The brainwashing is almost done. Once that’s done, I will find a replacement for you so you won’t have to marry Nikkawa Okazaka!”
“Replace? How are you going to do that?” Demonic Fox was curious to know. “Wait, are you planning on disguising as me and marry Nikkawa Okazaka yourself?”
“What?!” Chen Xiaobei was mortified. “Okay maybe I did think of that, but I don’t have boobs as large as yours or that perky of an ass as yours!”
“Pervert!”
Demonix Fox was abashed.
Thank goodness, she could control her state of mind otherwise she might’ve just blushed and gave it away.
“Okay, I’ll stop teasing you.”
Chen Xiaobei then said, “All you gotta do now is just wait. If you have anything to say to me, use your mind! Should anything unexpected happen, go to Kitagawa Heya. He is one of my men now; and he will make sure to protect you!”
“Wait, what? Grand Elder, Kitagawa Heya is one of your men?” Demonic Fox then said snidely, “Oh so you think I’m that dumb? You could’ve just gone ahead and told me that Tenshou God is also one of your men.”
“Don’t be so shocked!” Chen Xiaobei chuckled. “How did you think I put the Spiritual Item on you if Kitagawa Heya wasn’t one of my men?”
“Hmm…”
Demonic Fox turned silent. Lost for words, she was starting to be convinced that Chen Xiaobei was telling her the truth.
But she could not, for the life of her, ever imagine that the Grand Elder of Divine Sovereign Sect who ranked the third most powerful man in Japan to be under Chen Xiaobei’s authority!
This was completely difficult to believe, even more than the fact if the sun were to rise from the North!
“Alright. You must listen to me so that I can save you from this rut.” Chen Xiaobei said.
“Save me?” Demonic Fox questioned. “Didn’t you say that you were going to help me avenge my family? I demand to know how you plan on doing that.”
“I haven’t decided yet… this enemy is a demigod. You should know better than me how strong he is. So look, please try and be a little more patient!”
Chen Xiaobei remarked, “I don’t just make simply make any empty promises. Besides, I’ve already promised to avenge your family no matter what it costs and no matter how long it’ll take. I’ve given my word and I’ll do it.”
“Mm…” Demonic Fox’s tone softened, her heart was moved.
Even though they were physically apart, she could feel the determination he carried. And it made her realize that this man was really sincere in his desire to help her out.
“Chen Xiaobei, thank you…” Demonic Fox said in her heart. “No matter how things are going to turn out, I just want to thank you!”
“No worries. So as long as your gratitute is shown through actions, and not just all talk. Heh!” Chen Xiaobei grinned.
“I have an incoming call. I’ll need to take this outside. Remember what I said and wait for me!”
“Alright…” Demonix Fox replied softly.
…
To avoid being detected, Chen Xiaobei went out of the vicinity of the Divine Sovereign Sect and vanished into a quiet, sequestered forest.
“Hello? Xiaobei? What took you so damn long to pick up the phone? Something happened?” Six Ear Macaque’s distressed voice could be heard from the other line.
“Dude, what happened that made you lose your cool?” Chen Xiaobei was alarmed.
Six Ear Macaque had always been the really chill and fearless one.
Something big must have happened to agitate him that much!
“The Chanism sent their people here to kill Jiang Ziya!” Six Ear Macaque could barely hide his terror. “They beat the living daylight out of Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Can Jingu! Li Xiang and I are taking old man Jiang to hide in the mountains, but they brought a Heavenly Dog with them. They’re going to find us pretty soon!”
“They? Is there many of them? What are their cultivations?” Chen Xiaobei was shocked upon hearing this.
“They are three Heavenly Soldiers and one Heavenly Dog! Their cultivation… Urgh…”
Six Ear Macaque broke off mid-sentence.
