Chapter 280: The Whole Mountain Smells Like Foxes, It’s Disgusting
Nine-Tails asked: “You’re leaving now?”

Yu Zhao replied: “Yes.”

Yu Zhao always did things cleanly and neatly. Once she made up her mind, she immediately said goodbye to Nine-Tails and Bai Ling.

Nine-Tails suddenly felt a complicated sense of being used up and thrown aside.

Bai Ling had spent more time with Yu Zhao, so he was not very surprised by this.

Bai Ling said: “The Azure Dragon egg will hatch in the next few days. Why don’t you stay a few more days?”

Yu Zhao said: “No need. I feel very at ease leaving it to you.”

Bai Ling’s words honestly had no persuasive power at all.

The demonic beast egg was still on the White Peacock Clan’s Spirit Mountain, yet even he, the chieftain, was not guarding it and watching it hatch with his own eyes. Yu Zhao, as a human cultivator, had even less reason to stay.

Seeing that she was set on leaving, Bai Ling and Nine-Tails stopped trying to persuade her. They stood up, ready to escort her down the mountain.

As soon as they opened the barrier formation, they heard loud shouting from outside.

The next moment, Nine-Tails let out a cold laugh, and her figure suddenly vanished.

Bai Ling’s face changed. He lifted Yu Zhao with demon qi and followed right after her.

At the mountainside of Qingqiu Mountain.

Quan Ye roared as he shook the little fox in his hand: “Speak! What did Yu Zhao do while she was with you! Did you tell her anything about me!”

Quan Ye was gripping Xiao You by the back of his neck. As he shouted, he shook him hard.

Xiao You was shaken so badly that his head spun. He could not even tell north from south, much less answer any questions.

The other little foxes lay on the ground, unable to lift their heads, chirping anxiously.

A few nine-tailed foxes at Nascent Soul stage were not as miserable as the little foxes, but they were also affected by Quan Ye’s bloodline power. They could not use their cultivation level to pressure him. Instead, they were suppressed in return, and for a time they were helpless. They could only demand with their voices that Quan Ye put Xiao You down.

Quan Ye ignored them.

He once again felt the benefits brought by the transformation of his body. Every pore relaxed, and his expression grew even more wild.

Seeing that Xiao You’s eyes were rolling with stars, he casually threw Xiao You to the ground. He was just about to pick his next target when a terrifying aura rushed at him head-on and slammed him flying.

Nine-Tails said coldly: “Who gave you the guts to cause trouble on Qingqiu Mountain?”

Nine-Tails sent a strand of demon qi into Xiao You’s body, then looked at Quan Ye with icy eyes.

The moment Quan Ye saw Nine-Tails again, his body could not help but shiver. This was the natural reaction left behind by long-term whipping.

He was very afraid of Nine-Tails, but when he thought of his special identity, a strange confidence rose in his heart.

Quan Ye said: “I don’t mean any harm. I was just asking him a question.”

Nine-Tails said: “Asking questions? Fine. Then I’ll ask you a few questions too.”

For a Great Demon at the Divine Transformation stage, the influence of Quan Ye’s special bloodline was extremely small.

Nine-Tails easily grabbed Quan Ye by the throat. Her charming fox eyes were filled with coldness.

As her fingers slowly tightened, Quan Ye’s breathing became rushed. His face turned red, and his eyes bulged.

He stared at Nine-Tails in disbelief, as if he could not accept that Nine-Tails actually dared treat someone with Azure Dragon blood in his body like this.

Just when Quan Ye thought Nine-Tails was going to twist his neck, Bai Ling rushed over with Yu Zhao and did his best to persuade Nine-Tails to show mercy.

The demonic beast egg on Spirit Mountain might or might not hatch successfully, and even if it did hatch, no one knew what it would be like after it came out.

Right now, Quan Ye was the only half-human half-demon in the cultivation world with Azure Dragon bloodline.

All of the Demon Race’s hopes were resting on him. Nothing could be allowed to happen to him.

Nine-Tails actually understood this too, but she simply did not want to let Quan Ye have an easy time.

He had barely awakened and was already relying on his bloodline power to bully demonic beasts. If he one day became the ruler of the Demon Race, the Demon Race would never have a peaceful day.

Bai Ling shouted: “Nine-Tails! Don’t forget who handed him over to you!”

Watching Quan Ye’s face turn from red to purple, Bai Ling grew more and more anxious.

Bai Ling’s reminder finally scattered Nine-Tails’s killing intent.

She really could get rid of Quan Ye, but she could not deal with the trouble that his death would bring.

Leaving aside whether Bai Ling and the other demonic beasts who knew the truth would resent her, Master Qing Yan alone was not someone she could easily appease.

If Master Qing Yan learned that she had killed his own disciple, in his rage he might overturn the whole Qingqiu Mountain.

Nine-Tails could not help regretting it. If she had known things would turn out like this, she should never have agreed to the deal with Master Qing Yan just for the sake of the Azure Dragon bloodline.

She flung Quan Ye to the ground in disgust, just as casually as Quan Ye had thrown Xiao You.

Nine-Tails said: “Qingqiu Mountain does not welcome you. Get out. From now on, you are not allowed to step onto Qingqiu Mountain again. If you dare to come, not even Master Qing Yan himself will be able to save you.”

Quan Ye fell back onto the ground and took big gulps of air. When he heard Nine-Tails’s words, he snapped in anger and shouted: “You think I like coming to this trash place! The whole mountain smells like foxes, it makes me sick!”

As he spoke, he really bent over and dry heaved.

Even Bai Ling frowned at that.

The corner of Yu Zhao’s mouth curved up in a faint arc.

She did not know if it was because of her rebirth, but in this life, Quan Ye was even more stupid than in the last.

In her past life, Quan Ye would still put on an act in front of Bai Ling and the other Great Demons. At the very least, he would not put all his real thoughts out in the open.

Even if everyone knew he was not of one heart with the Demon Race, they could not find concrete evidence to prove it.

But now, he was showing his rejection of the Demon Race completely and clearly. Even Bai Ling, who supported him the most, had started to feel disgust toward him.

If he wanted to gain the Demon Race’s wholehearted support like he did in the past life, that was now impossible.

Yet he had Azure Dragon blood and a special half-human half-demon body. The path of cultivation was already harder for him than for ordinary people.

If he lost all help, Yu Zhao’s yesterday would become his tomorrow.

Quan Ye still did not realize how serious the situation was. He was still thinking angrily in his heart: [When the day comes that I become the Lord of Demon Beasts, I’ll burn this Qingqiu Mountain to ashes with one fire.]

Nine-Tails did not know exactly what Quan Ye was thinking, but just by looking at his expression, she could tell he was up to something bad. Her disgust reached the limit. She was just about to throw him off Qingqiu Mountain when the Jade Communication Stone hanging at Bai Ling’s waist suddenly lit up, drawing everyone’s attention.

Bai Ling excitedly took down the Jade Communication Stone. He heard Bai Mei’s voice inside, wild with joy.

Bai Mei shouted: “Chieftain, the demonic beast egg has cracked! I saw it! Ah! Its scales are white!”

Bai Ling was overjoyed and laughed: “Hahaha! Good! White is good! Our White Peacock Clan also has white feathers. That means it is fated with us!”

The anger on Nine-Tails’s face disappeared, and her mood brightened with it.

Yu Zhao, who had just lifted her foot to leave, silently put it back down.

She was actually also a little curious about what kind of demonic beast would hatch from the egg she had picked up.

Bai Mei shouted again: “Chieftain! Chieftain! I just, I just saw, saw a claw! Phoenix Ancestor above! It looks like a dragon claw! It’s a dragon claw!”

Bai Ling cried out: “What! A dragon claw?! A dragon claw?!”

He could hardly believe his own ears. In his excitement, he almost crushed the Jade Communication Stone.

Seeing this, Nine-Tails was scared he would break it, so she simply snatched the Jade Communication Stone from his hand and asked loudly: “Bai Mei, are you sure? Is it really a dragon claw?”

Bai Mei stammered: “I, I, I’m not sure. It looks like it. I, I’ve never seen a real dragon claw. I’ll look again, I’ll take another look.”
