Chapter 490 - 461: Oh No, I’ve Been Discovered! (2)

The Beauty Clan Leader fled in a panic.

Indeed, she was forced to!

However, in the perception of the Qingqiu Fox Tribe, such behavior was no different from stealing someone else’s... man!

Even though Su Xihe showed no dissatisfaction, as the Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Fox Tribe, certain notions were already deeply ingrained in her heart.

The shame within her was indescribable.

"It’s over, it’s over..."

Upon returning to her room, she still felt unbearably ashamed.

How could she have embraced another woman’s man?

It was all because of that despicable Human Race with a tail. If he hadn’t used Tu Jiujiu to threaten her, how could she have been so confused?!

She would figure out how to deal with him later.

She didn’t believe that once out of this space, she couldn’t handle a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Sister, what’s wrong with you?"

Tu Jiujiu seemed to sense that something was amiss with the Beauty Clan Leader, and she opened her eyes drowsily, sniffing softly as if smelling a trace of Brother Qin Yu’s scent on her.

Instantly, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

The Clan Leader didn’t like Brother Qin Yu, so why did she have his scent on her?

"Hmph, it’s all your fault!"

The Beauty Clan Leader glared fiercely at Tu Jiujiu.

If it wasn’t for the little fox, how could she have suffered such humiliation?

"What did I do?"

Tu Jiujiu looked confused.

Because she feared being taken back by the Clan Leader, she had been very obedient these past few days.

Laughter came from outside, and Tu Jiujiu sprang up, noticing Little Ling’Er still asleep. She adorably stuck out her tongue and quietly planned to sneak out.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

The Beauty Clan Leader furrowed her brows.

"Shuishui and the others are here. I want to go play with them."

Tu Jiujiu whispered.

"You’re not allowed to go!"

The Beauty Clan Leader scolded, as outside there weren’t only those girls, but also that despicable guy with a tail!

Her mood was far from settled, and she couldn’t face Qin Yu’s wives calmly, nor could she let Tu Jiujiu go out alone.

Tu Jiujiu hung her head listlessly, as if losing all strength, often sneaking glances at the Beauty Clan Leader with a pitiful look, stirring sympathy.

The Beauty Clan Leader deliberately turned her face away.

She was long used to such tactics.

She knew exactly what the little fox was thinking.

And while hiding in the room, the Beauty Clan Leader couldn’t help but use her perception to look outside.

There was one thing she couldn’t forget.

Root Bone!

Although only a night had passed, she was surprised to find that Qin Yu’s Dao Companions had slight improvements in their physique and Root Bone.

Although these improvements were slight, they indeed existed!

Could it be...

Qin Yu has a way to enhance Root Bone?!

How is that possible?

If...

If the Human Race’s physique and Root Bone could be improved, couldn’t the tails of the Qingqiu Fox Tribe be as well?

According to the Qingqiu Fox Tribe’s records, in thousands of years, only three Six-tailed foxes have ever appeared.

If true enhancements were possible, wouldn’t Tu Jiujiu have the hope of advancing to a Seven-Tailed, or even the legendary... Nine-tailed Divine Fox?!

"No, that’s impossible."

The Beauty Clan Leader shook her head, trying not to overthink it.

But once those thoughts sprouted, they were like seeds sown in her heart, destined to take root and grow one day.

...

Endless Fire Domain, core region.

This place resembled a vast and boundless sea of lava, with the surrounding space seemingly distorted by intense heat, displaying peculiar ripples visible to the naked eye.

In this untrodden forbidden land, there floated a tranquil red flame.

Though it didn’t erupt wildly like lava, it harbored an extreme heat that instilled terror, with the space around it occasionally tearing open fragile rifts.

Clearly, this red flame was no ordinary fire.

What was even more astonishing was that the lava sea occasionally surged in waves, with strands of Flame Energy seemingly drawn toward the red flame, converging upon it with reverence and fervor.

In the inner area.

A silhouette flashed by, surrounded by a faint blue glow that shielded against the terrifying heat and fire poison.

This figure was Yan Lin, one of the Flame Guards.

Her cultivation was slightly stronger than Yan Yu’s back then.

But even within the inner region of the Endless Fire Domain, she could only endure for about a quarter of an hour before feeling strained.

During this time, Yan Lin entered the Endless Fire Domain almost daily.

She faintly sensed unusual movements in this area, yet unable to enter the core region, she couldn’t uncover the truth.

"Boom!"

As Yan Lin was about to retreat, a massive sound erupted from the core region, akin to a volcanic explosion that shook the heavens and the earth.

Immediately following, a visible and terrifying heatwave emanated from the core region, igniting the already scorching air almost instantly.

Even with Dao Rhyme’s protection, Yan Lin found the heat unbearable, and the Spirit Treasure Mask on her face felt like it would melt.

Seeing this, Yan Lin dared not be careless. After casting a deep glance at the core region, she swiftly retreated.

"Flame Guard, my lord!"

Upon seeing Yan Lin, Yang Yuzhe immediately stepped forward, his anxious expression softening slightly upon seeing the Flame Guard.

He also realized that the situation in the Endless Fire Domain was beyond his control as the Hall Master. Fortunately, a Flame Guard was stationed there.
