Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

The smoke and dust had not yet dissipated.

Su Qing stood in the center of the newly created crater, the soil beneath her feet scorched and hardened by the intense heat.

The jade crown that had been holding her hair up was shattered on the ground, and her long black hair, now unrestrained, was whipped about wildly by the gale.

The originally somewhat oversized blue men's clothing was now torn in several places due to the surge of spiritual energy, and the collar was ripped open.

The Adam's apple that had been artificially enhanced to disguise his appearance had disappeared.

His once flat chest, though now wrapped in a chest binder, still had undulating curves that made him look nothing like a man.

What's even more deadly is that face.

Without the illusion to conceal it, the deliberately feigned heroic spirit vanished instantly, replaced by a breathtaking allure.

Her eyes are slightly upturned at the corners, giving her a captivating charm even without making an expression.

Her skin was so white it seemed to glow, standing out starkly against the blood and muddy ground, making it almost unbearable to look at.

The entire room fell silent.

Only the wind howled through the ruins.

Gu Xiang lay in the mud pit, half of his face swollen like a pig's head. The word "Big Brother" that he was about to shout was stuck in his throat, unable to come up or down, making him choke and roll his eyes back.

He blinked hard at his eye, which was swollen into a slit.

You read that right.

The figure in front, though dressed in men's clothing, had such a waist, hair, and neck...

Gu Xiang's mind went blank, as if a hundred flies had been stuffed into it.

Brother Su?

My dear brother?

Sworn brother?

This is... my stepsister?!

A warm stream flowed down my nose.

Gu Xiang instinctively reached out and wiped his hand, finding it covered in blood.

I wasn't even beaten half to death before I bled this much, but just looking at it made me feel completely exhausted.

Li Yu, who was lying dead next to him, wasn't in much better shape.

The broken folding fan in the hand of the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty fell to the ground with a thud.

He boasted that he had seen all the beauties in the capital, including many empresses and princesses in the palace, as well as courtesans in brothels.

Compared to the woman in front of her, those so-called beauties were like immature fire-starting girls.

"Even the most beautiful woman in the capital city... is nothing special..."

Li Yu muttered to himself, completely forgetting that he was still vomiting blood.

Su Qing felt a chill on the back of her neck.

Frustrated, she grabbed a handful of her messy long hair and looked down at her tattered clothes.

She had this custom-made at the best tailor shop in Qingniu Town for five taels of silver.

I've only worn it for less than three days.

"Tsk."

Su Qing clicked her tongue impatiently and turned away.

Her long hair swung in a black arc with her movements, a few strands clinging to her cheeks, making her face even more alluring.

Her gaze swept over the two stunned men on the ground, finally settling on Gu Xiang, who was bleeding from his nose.

"Have you seen enough, you idiot?"

The voice was the same, but now it sounded completely wrong to my ears.

I used to think it was a clear, youthful voice, but now it sounds like it has a lazy, seductive quality to it.

Gu Xiang shuddered, her face instantly turning red to the roots of her neck.

The fear of "being gay" vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of shame that made me want to bury myself in the ground, and a heart pounding wildly in my chest.

dong dong dong.

His heartbeat was so loud that he was afraid even he himself would be heard.

Blood Butcher in mid-air was also stunned.

His cloudy old eyes stared intently at Su Qing, and his original wariness and murderous intent instantly changed.

greedy.

Naked, disgusting greed.

"Top-grade...it's actually a top-grade furnace cauldron!"

Blood Butcher let out a strange cry, his two withered hands trembling with excitement.

"Pure Yin Body? No, this is... Heavenly Charm Body!"

He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his chapped lips, saliva dripping down the corners of his mouth.

"Heaven has truly been kind to me! Sending me a heart with seven orifices of exquisite beauty wasn't enough, it has now sent me such a top-grade furnace!"

"Once I replenish your vital essence, I, your ancestor, might not only recover from my injuries, but I could even break through to the Transformation Realm!"

The green light in Blood Butcher's eyes was terrifyingly bright, and his face was a hundred times more disgusting than when he was killing people.

"Young lady, did that stab hurt you? If you've hurt yourself, I'll be heartbroken."

He chuckled strangely, his body slowly descending. The two skulls stopped turning, their eyes practically wanting to strip Su Qing naked.

"Go back with the ancestor obediently. As long as you serve the ancestor well, you'll be guaranteed to eat and drink well. It's much better than following these two good-for-nothings."

Su Qing listened to these vulgar words without any change in her expression.

But in those pinkish eyes, the temperature had plummeted to freezing.

"Shut your dog mouth!"

A roar suddenly rang out.

Gu Xiang, with a sudden burst of strength, managed to lift half of his body out of the mud pit.

His broken leg dragged on the ground, his face twitching with pain, but he still stood firmly in front of Su Qing.

"You old pig! You dare touch her and see what happens!"

Gu Xiang's eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently.

Although he was terrified, and although he knew he was now a useless person.

But as soon as he heard the old devil speak to Su Qing in that disgusting tone, he felt the string of reason in his mind snap.

Even if it means death, I won't let that old man touch a single hair on her head!

"I'm going to kill you... I'm going to kill you!"

Gu Xiang roared, and the dormant righteous energy within him was stirred by this rage, causing a faint white light to emanate from his body.

Blood Butcher glanced at him disdainfully.

"Noisy."

He casually flicked his sleeve.

boom!

An invisible force struck the air wall in front of Gu Xiang, but Su Qing blocked it with a magic seal.

"Young lady, are you really that protective of your lover?"

Xue Tu snorted coldly, not even glancing at Gu Xiang, and fixed his gaze back on Su Qing.

"Young lady, don't count on these two good-for-nothings. In this desolate wilderness, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

He rubbed his hands together and approached step by step.

Su Qing stood still.

She glanced at Gu Xiang, her brows furrowing slightly.

That idiot.

His leg was broken, why was he still trying to show off?

but……

Su Qing felt a strange unease in her heart.

Having witnessed the treacherous nature of the cultivation world, it's common for everyone to flee when disaster strikes.

Such fools who would risk their lives for others are truly a rare breed.

"System, is this idiot still alive?" she asked in her mind.

[Beep! Target Gu Xiang's health is down to 3%, and she is in a state of awakened righteous energy! Please provide immediate assistance!]

"As long as he doesn't die, it's good that he awakens some power, so he won't be powerless."

Su Qing withdrew her gaze and looked again at Xue Tu, who had a lewd grin on his face.

She raised her hand and slowly tucked her disheveled long hair behind her ear.

This movement was performed extremely slowly and with great elegance.

"So ugly, yet so full of dreams."

Su Qing chuckled lightly, her tone full of disdain.

"I originally just wanted to play with you using ordinary methods, since I'd have to wash my hands if I got them dirty."

She casually tossed the broken half of the fan bone in her hand onto the ground.

pat.

The fan ribs fell to the ground.

next second.

boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from Su Qing's body.

It wasn't the kind of powerful and domineering spiritual energy fluctuation.

Rather, it possessed a bewitching aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

The air behind Su Qing began to distort.

One, two, three...

Nine enormous phantom fox tails slowly unfurled behind her, blotting out the sky.

Each fox tail emitted a faint pink glow, beautiful yet extremely dangerous.

The bloodthirsty aura that had been shrouding the sky seemed to have encountered a natural enemy the moment the nine fox tails appeared, and it frantically retreated in all directions.

Blood Butcher's lewd smile froze.

His eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

The terrifying sense of oppression made his bones crack and pop.

This aura...

This oppressive aura...

This is no ordinary person!

He's not some minor cultivator hiding his true strength!

This is a powerful demon!

Unparalleled Demon!

"You...you are..."

Blood Butcher's teeth chattered, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Su Qing ignored him.

She kicked off her cloth shoes.

Barefoot, I took a step out.

A pink lotus flower suddenly appeared in the void beneath her feet, supporting her feet.

Every step is like a lotus blooming.

She stepped through the void, walking step by step into the air, looking down at Blood Butcher.

That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at an ant that he could crush with a flick of his wrist.

"You just said you were going to capture me and use me as a furnace cauldron?"

Su Qing tilted her head, a cruel smile curving her lips.

She raised her right hand, and a cluster of pink flames emerged from the tip of her index finger.

The flame was only the size of a fingernail, and it looked completely cold, even somewhat cute.

But the moment it appeared, the surrounding space was burned with black cracks.

Heavenly Fox Enchanting Fire.

It burns only the soul; nothing is spared from its incineration.

"go."

Su Qing flicked her fingers.

The small cluster of pink flames floated down gently.

It landed right in the sea of ​​blood at Blood Butcher's feet.

call--

There was no sound.

The overwhelming aura of bloodlust, and the blood mist formed by the dozens of bandits, were instantly ignited upon contact with the pink flames, without even a chance to struggle.

The pink sea of ​​fire instantly engulfed the crimson.

Blood Butcher's prized Blood Sea Demon Art was as fragile as paper in the face of these flames.

"ah--!"

Blood Butcher let out a piercing scream.

The flames did not burn his physical body, but they directly ignited his soul.

The pain of having one's soul burned is ten thousand times worse than being torn apart by a thousand cuts.

He wanted to run away.

But he found himself unable to move.

The surrounding space seemed to freeze, pinning him to the spot.

Su Qing hovered in mid-air, her nine tails swaying behind her, like a deity descending to earth.

She extended a finger and gently beckoned to Blood Butcher.

"come over."

Blood Butcher's body flew up uncontrollably, all the way to Su Qing.

At this moment, he was no longer the arrogant person he had been just moments before.

He curled up into a ball, trembling all over, his face covered in snot and tears.

"Senior...Senior, spare me! Senior, spare me!"

Blood Butcher kowtowed desperately, making loud thuds even in mid-air.

"This junior was blind to your greatness! This junior deserves to die! I beg you, senior, considering how difficult cultivation is, please just let this junior go!"

Su Qing stepped back a little in disgust, not wanting to get her nose snot on him.

"Weren't you acting all high and mighty just now?"

"Isn't it said that might makes right?"

Su Qing stretched out her hand and made a grasping motion in the air.

Blood Butcher felt an invisible hand gripping his throat, lifting him into the air.

He kicked his legs wildly, his face turned a deep purplish-red, and the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Su Qing looked at his distorted old face and smiled coldly.

"My fist is bigger than yours now."

Therefore, my reasoning is sound reasoning.

Gu Xiang below struggled to lift his head, looking at the domineering figure in mid-air.

Although my vision was blurry, and my mind was foggy.

But he still saw it clearly.

That Su brother who always waved a fan and had a face that looked like he wanted to punch someone.

The frail scholar who had just been protected behind him.

Right now, they're playing with that arrogant and domineering demon in their hands.

So...so beautiful.

Gu Xiang grinned, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth, and gave a silly laugh.

[Ding! Target Gu Xiang's favorability increased by 10%!]

Current favorability: 35% (Admiration)

Su Qing's lips twitched almost imperceptibly when she heard the system notification.

This idiot, he's almost dead and still infatuated.

She snapped out of her reverie and looked at the blood butcher in her hand, who was almost dead.

"Remember to keep your eyes open in your next life."

"There are some people you can't afford to mess with."

Su Qing's fingers tightened suddenly.

Click.

A crisp sound.

All of Xue Tu's cultivation was sealed.

But just as his primordial spirit tried to escape, it was forced back by the pink flames.

A great demon at the peak of the Casting Cauldron Realm.

He was held in Su Qing's hand like a little chick.

Su Qing casually tossed the Blood Butcher down, as if it were a bag of trash.

She took a deep breath, and the nine-tailed phantom behind her slowly dissipated, along with the terrifying pressure.

Besides the clothes being a bit torn, the hair was also a bit messy.

She looked like she had transformed back into that harmless beauty.

Su Qing slowly landed in front of Gu Xiang.

Barefoot footsteps on the muddy ground made a slight sound.

Gu Xiang strained to open his eyes wide, watching those jade-like feet stop right under his nose.

Then a fair and slender hand reached out.

"Can you still move, you idiot?"

Su Qing's voice came from above, carrying a hint of helplessness and a subtle tenderness.

Gu Xiang looked at that hand.

As if possessed, he reached out his hand, which was covered in blood and mud, and touched it.

"Big...Big Sister..."

Gu Xiang called out weakly, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.

Su Qing: "..."

Who is your eldest sister?

Why make unfounded claims of kinship?
