Chapter 255: Today’s Lesson Is How to Toy With Men
Right now, Quan Ye’s feelings were very mixed.

He did not want to admit that he was a descendant of the demon race, but he was also curious about who his parents were and why they had given birth to him only to throw him away.

Just as his mind was wandering, the voice of Clan Leader Nine-Tails sounded beside his ear like a demon’s whisper: “Take off your clothes.”

Quan Ye turned his head to look and saw that Clan Leader Nine-Tails looked very serious. She did not seem to be joking at all.

His mind went blank. He stammered: “I… why… you… I am not taking them off!”

He was so anxious that his tongue almost tied itself in knots.

The watching foxes grinned and once again let out sharp laughter.

She said: “Why are you asking so many questions? Since your master has mortgaged you to me, you must now follow my arrangements.”

The long ends of Nine-Tails’ eyes lifted a little, her charm overflowing.

Quan Ye’s breath stopped for a moment, then he came back to himself, bit down on his teeth in anger, and stayed silent.

Nine-Tails laughed softly and said: “Since you refuse to take them off, I will help you take them off.”

Before Quan Ye could react, his upper robe turned to dust and fell away, revealing his strong upper body.

“Wow!”

“Squeak squeak!”

“Slurp slurp~”

The foxes exploded with noise.

They chirped and chattered, making quite a scene.

Quan Ye was both shocked and angry. He tried to struggle, but Nine-Tails held him in place so firmly that he could not move at all.

Crack!

A sharp sound suddenly cut through the air.

Quan Ye stiffly turned his eyes.

At some point, Nine-Tails had taken out a willow branch stripped of leaves. As she waved it, it cut through the air and let out a string of sharp whistles.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Quan Ye’s heart.

She raised her voice: “Children, class is starting. Today’s lesson is how to toy with a man.”

Quan Ye’s vision went dark. In his heart he screamed: [Qing Yan! Su Ming! Do not let me see you two ever again!]

…

At the foot of a volcano in the Western Region, Su Ming looked up in the direction of Qingqiu Mountain, feeling a bit uneasy for some reason.

He asked: “Master, we just left Fifth Junior Brother on Qingqiu Mountain like that. When he wakes up and does not see us, will he be angry?”

After he and his master left Spirit Mountain, they had gone straight to Qingqiu Mountain of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

He did not know what kind of deal his master and the Nine-Tailed Fox chieftain had made. The next day, his master took him down the mountain to this volcano to look for Lava Stone, and left Quan Ye behind on Qingqiu Mountain.

With Quan Ye’s bad temper, he would definitely be angry when he woke up and did not see them.

Right now, Su Ming still did not know what Clan Leader Nine-Tails was doing to Quan Ye. He was only worried about the shaky brotherly bond between himself and Quan Ye.

Master Qing Yan’s expression was calm. He said: “If you are worried, then find the Lava Stone as soon as possible. After that, you can go back to see Quan Ye.”

As he had expected, Nine-Tails was much harder to deal with than Bai Ling.

In the end she did agree to help Quan Ye get through his danger period, but she also raised many harsh conditions.

After weighing the pros and cons, Master Qing Yan agreed, ignoring the soul in his Sea of Consciousness that tried to stop him.

The soul had said that Quan Ye was stubborn and disliked the demon race. Forcing him to live with them would only make his rebellious feelings worse and might even lead to serious results in the end.

Master Qing Yan only felt that he was making a big fuss over nothing.

He had left Quan Ye on Qingqiu Mountain for his sake, so that he could get used early to the life of the demon race and also build a bond with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

After all, he would have to stay on Qingqiu Mountain for a long time, until he could fully adapt to his bloodline power.

Besides, the White Peacock Clan had also found a descendant of the Azure Dragon. Once that person successfully fused their bloodline, it would mean Quan Ye was no longer the most special being in the demon race.

His position among the demon race would become very awkward.

So gaining the approval of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would also help him quickly gain a foothold among them.

[If Quan Ye was smart, he would know what he should do. Of course, if he acted foolishly, no one could save him.]

Master Qing Yan felt that he had already done his duty as a master. What happened after that would depend on Quan Ye’s own fate.

“You will regret this. You will regret this!”

The soul was furious and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

After unexpectedly coming to this world, he had thought he could stop the tragedy of the previous life from happening again.

But the version of himself in this world was stubborn beyond reason and simply would not listen to anyone’s advice.

Even when he tried to persuade him with both emotion and reason, he still could not stop him from making one wrong choice after another.

Quan Ye utterly hated the fact that he was a descendant of the demon race and did not want to stand on their side at all.

The only one willing to put up with his bad temper and help him without regret was Bai Ling, who cared deeply about the demon race.

But the chieftain of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Nine-Tails, was sly and vicious, with a twisted mind and a high and mighty attitude. She never acted according to common rules. No one could guess what she was thinking, and no one could threaten her.

Now that Quan Ye had fallen into her hands, it was like a wild bull falling into a hunter’s trap. Even if he was not eaten, he would still be tormented.

In his previous life, Quan Ye had not carried the title of Beast King, but the treatment he enjoyed was something only a Beast King could have. Nearly eighty percent of the demonic beasts of the demon race had obeyed his orders.

But could he still enjoy that glory in this life?

The soul was no longer sure.

…

Spirit Mountain.

“It moved, it moved, Chieftain, it moved!”

Bai Mei pointed excitedly at the slightly trembling demonic beast egg and cried out in joy.

Bai Ling smiled and nodded. He said: “This little rascal is very tough.”

Then he looked at Yu Zhao and added: “It is also thanks to Young Friend Yu’s insistence. Otherwise…”

He had not held any hope for this demonic beast egg at first.

It was Yu Zhao who took out the phoenix feather and asked him to keep his promise, so he had no choice but to change his preferred choice from Quan Ye to the demonic beast egg.

Facts proved that Yu Zhao’s decision was the right one.

He had almost destroyed a descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan.

Yu Zhao said modestly: “Compared to Clan Chief Bai Ling, what I have done is nothing.”

The phoenix feather was something she had intercepted from Su Ming. The demonic beast egg was also a piece of loot she had found by chance.

Adding these two together had been enough to trade for the fruit of Bai Ling’s efforts over hundreds of years.

Bai Ling was the one who had given the most.

Bai Ling was very pleased by Yu Zhao’s words.

He was willing to give everything for the rise and fall of the demon race without asking for pay, but that did not mean he did not want others to recognize his efforts.

As the greatest contributor, Yu Zhao did not take credit but instead spoke out about how hard things had been for him.

Just this one point already made her far better than her master, Master Qing Yan.

Back then, when Master Qing Yan had brought Quan Ye up the mountain, although he had spoken in a pleading tone, his attitude and behavior clearly showed that he felt Bai Ling ought to help.

Bai Ling was generous and did not argue with him, but he had still felt a little unhappy inside.

Now he also began to feel glad that he had not spent all his effort on Quan Ye.

If Quan Ye turned out like his master and took all his help for granted, then the future of the demon race would still be dark.

He said: “Yu Zhao, if we can really hatch a demonic beast with Azure Dragon blood, I can promise you that the demon race will never become enemies with the human race and break the peace we have now.”

Yu Zhao nodded and said: “I trust the words of Clan Chief Bai Ling.”

In their previous life, Quan Ye had relied on his status to bully demonic beasts together with Ye Cong Xin and the others.

The demon race had been full of complaints. Many times, they had almost fought with Quan Ye.

It was Bai Ling who had stepped in between them and eased the resentment on both sides, barely keeping the situation stable.

Yu Zhao had never doubted his intentions.

He was truly a demon with great love in his heart.
