Chapter 35 Brigitte
"Do you have a way to move this auspicious beast?" Ye Nanxiao was about to say "ancestor" but then thought that it was better to be polite on someone else's turf. After all, whether it could run away or not was another matter, and Biji seemed to be Di Tian's partner, so he couldn't offend her at the moment.
"Hmm? Are you in a hurry to leave?" Brigitte asked with a smile, but Ye Nanxiao couldn't see any friendliness in that smile.
Biji sized up Ye Nanxiao. "The nine-tailed fox is quite pretty. And the ultimate ice? Why don't you stay and keep the auspicious beast company?"
"Ah, no, well, a little." Ye Nanxiao met Bi Ji's gaze somewhat guiltily, but immediately changed his tune when he saw Bi Ji's bright smile. "Ah, no, there's no rush right now."
"The auspicious beast doesn't get much rest; it trains every day." Biji stroked the golden fur on the three-eyed golden lion's neck, her gentle smile like that of a kind older sister next door.
"Human development is accelerating, and dealing with humans is becoming increasingly difficult. Given the special nature of auspicious beasts, Emperor Tian must ensure their rapid growth," Bi Ji said.
Humans? Soul tools? Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes, the image of soul-guided cannonballs constantly appearing in his mind. Soul beasts still need to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation; their growth is too slow.
"Have you seen Xue'er in the far north? How is she doing now?" Biji asked Xue Di like a friendly older sister, but unfortunately the far north was too far away, and Biji could not leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Xue'er, did you know each other before?" Ye Nanxiao asked. Had things gone off track or what? There's quite a story there.
Within the sea of consciousness, a blush crept onto Xue Di's pretty face as she reluctantly explained, "Knowing someone is knowing them."
"Yeah, I'm doing pretty well, all plump and healthy." Ye Nanxiao recalled Xue Di's life as a homebody and answered seriously.
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's reply, Xue Di's face, which had been flushed with happiness, quickly darkened, accompanied by flashes of lightning.
"Xiao'er, being fair-skinned and chubby isn't a word to describe a lady," Xue Di said with a slight smile, though the raised cross on her fair forehead didn't look like a genuine smile at all.
Xue Di clenched her fist and sighed, "Fine, let's quickly think of a way to get rid of this swan."
"I'm trying to figure something out. Any brilliant ideas?"
"Why don't you confess your feelings? That way you'll be kicked out without having to leave on your own."
"Are you sure I can get out of the forest safely?"
"Oh? It seems you're not of low status, being able to see Xue'er every day." Bi Ji revealed a smug smile, but in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, the brighter the smile, the more sinister it was.
"Hey Xiao'er, aren't you usually quite clever? How did you get tricked by this swan?" Xue Di mocked.
Ignoring Xue Di, Ye Nanxiao looked at Bi Ji with a wry smile, and the latter continued, "Then, can you tell me?"
Ye Nanxiao turned to look at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was still fast asleep. After a moment of contemplation, he said to Bi Ji, "My true form is a snow fox. You can also call me Ye Nanxiao."
"Your true form, can you take on a human form?" Brigitte asked.
Under Brigitte's gaze, the nine-tailed fox emitted a faint white light and transformed into human form, except that it had fox ears on its head and still had its nine tails.
Biji glanced at Ye Nanxiao's nine tails. "So you have a hundred thousand years of cultivation? And then you were reborn as a human?"
Ye Nanxiao smiled but remained silent.
Keep it a secret, girl, you know? Asking again will ruin the fun.
Brigitte reverted to the approachable older sister she had been when they first met. A beam of emerald light shone upon the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which slowly awoke, asking in confusion, "Hmm, how did I fall asleep?"
Good heavens, Bi Ji's true form is an emerald swan, a healing spirit beast. With her around, how could the Three-Eyed Golden Lion be tired? Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized.
"Auspicious beast, we should go back now." Biji smoothed the golden fur of the three-eyed golden lion, which was a little wrinkled from sleeping, glanced at Ye Nanxiao's tail, reached out and rubbed it a few times, and exclaimed, "It's cool and comfortable. You look better when you're a fox."
"This woman, no wonder you don't like her very much, Xue'er." Ye Nanxiao said helplessly. He put his right hand in front of his chest and, according to the memory in his bloodline, made a hand seal. Under the illumination of a ball of white light, he slowly transformed into a nine-tailed snow fox with soft and beautiful silver-white fur, a faint red mark under each of his two fox eyes, and nine fluffy tails swaying casually.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao transform into his beast form, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly approached and circled him several times, sensing the aura emanating from Ye Nanxiao. After a long while, it nodded.
"I think this auspicious beast might mistake you for a female," Xue Di said earnestly, observing the behavior of the three-eyed golden lion.
"Stop fooling around, hurry up and get out of here." Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes at Xue Di.
"You're right, Xiao'er. You might be even more popular than Nan Nan if you dressed up as a girl."
"Crossing the women's clothing is absolutely out of the question!"
Soon, Ye Nanxiao transformed back into human form, and Bi Ji couldn't help but ask, "Is the human world really that wonderful? Why do you all want to go to the human world instead of staying in your own homeland?"
It seems that Di Tian's education has not been completed yet. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said mysteriously, "Not all people are bad."
Biji gave Ye Nanxiao a deep look, as if she wanted to etch his image into her mind. Ye Nanxiao let her look at him. After a while, Biji smiled and said goodbye to Ye Nanxiao, then took the Three-Eyed Golden Lion back to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Sister Biji, do you think we'll see the little fox again?" The three-eyed golden lion seemed somewhat infatuated with the cool scent emanating from Ye Nanxiao.
"Yes, the auspicious beast can go to him if it wants," Bi Ji replied with a smile.
"But Emperor Tian won't let me have any contact with the human world." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained innocent in front of Bi Ji. "Every day he tells me that the human world is dangerous and that humans are cunning."
"Not everyone is bad." Bi Ji said Ye Nanxiao's words, then smiled as if she remembered something. Perhaps, that's true.
"Hey, Xue'er, do you think you soul beasts can still maintain your innocence after living for so long?" Ye Nanxiao was a little puzzled by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's behavior. It didn't seem to be as hostile to humans as he thought. Or had he really managed to deceive everyone?
"Perhaps there are, but only in the face of special beings." Xue Di seemed to remember something, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Hey, good fortune favors the bold. This ancestor is really lucky. Next time I see it, I'll just run away." Ye Nanxiao slapped his forehead.
"It could be an auspicious beast, or it could be Biji, the Emerald Swan," said the Snow Empress. "After all, it's an Emerald Swan, a treasure of life, sensitive to vitality, and its own life energy is extremely abundant."
"That's a mobile spring." Ye Nanxiao casually picked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth.
Then Xue Di seemed to remember something, her brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself, "Sensitive to life."
Ye Nanxiao, who was lingering in the Star Dou Great Forest, was unaware that he had already been targeted by Bi Ji.
Meanwhile, Ye Nanxiao's clone.
Jiang Nannan tapped the clone's fox ears and asked Ye Nanxiao's clone, annoyed, "Where did your real body go?"
Dissatisfied with the stiff fox ears in front of her, Jiang Nannan pouted. Ever since Ye Nanxiao returned with a woman, he had created a clone here and then left again.
After hearing about Huo Yun's experience, Jiang Jia took over Ye Nanxiao's job without hesitation and took good care of Huo Yun.
Women with similar experiences easily empathize with this. After Ye Nanxiao cleaned Huo Yun's body, he used the blood essence within her to make amends as usual, and then ran away again, which made Jiang Nannan quite resentful.
Ye Nanxiao was willing to use his source because he wanted to make a huge investment, which would determine whether he could negotiate with a certain brat holding a fork in the future.
"I wonder how Ah Xiao is doing now, whether he's eating well, whether he... misses me." Jiang Nannan's eyes were filled with intense longing, longing for a certain fox.
Ye Nanxiao crossed his right arm over his left, and after thinking for a moment while pinching his chin with his right hand, he replied, "It'll be soon. The original body didn't leave me much soul power, so it should only take two or three days."
Jiang Jia entered her daughter's room, walked up to "Ye Nanxiao," tapped "Ye Nanxiao's" fox ears, and sensed the soul power contained within this clone.
Jiang Jia exclaimed, "Xiao'er, your soul skill is truly rare! And this clone of yours has a third of the combat power of your original body. What kind of soul beast did you hunt?"
Jiang Jia had never seen a clone soul skill that could maintain at least one-third of the original body's combat power before. However, considering that Ye Nanxiao was a special child, Jiang Jia didn't ask any further questions. Who cares? As long as he's good to Nannan.
Looking at her daughter, who seemed quite resentful, Jiang Jia couldn't help but sigh that daughters grow up and leave home. After chatting with Jiang Nannan for a while, she turned to take care of Huo Yun.
Ye Nanxiao felt uneasy under Jiang Nannan's gaze and shivered, thinking to himself, "Please, my true form, come back soon."
Ye Nanxiao circled around the Star Dou Great Forest several times but found nothing of value, so he had no choice but to return along the same route.
"I think if there were any, they would have all been taken by Di Tian," Xue Di said.
"After all, Di Tian is a dragon, and everyone has a bit of a collecting habit, I understand." Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment, Di Tian seems to have a little nest in the center of the forest, when I finally rise to power, what's yours will be mine.
When Ye Nanxiao passed by the Duke's mansion again, he felt a little sad. "I wonder how hard this year has been for Yuhao. I hope he doesn't hate me, my dear little brother."
"Probably, after all, you've been a hands-off manager more than once or twice, haven't you?" Xue Di mocked.
"How about we sneak in and take a look?" Ye Nanxiao was somewhat tempted.
"Are you sure?" Xue Di asked, sensing a powerful aura that posed a threat to Ye Nanxiao in his current state.
"I know there's a high-level combatant inside, so I just took a look from afar," Ye Nanxiao said.
Ye Nanxiao had already sensed the formidable fighting force within the Duke's mansion and planned to observe from a distance. Just then, he saw a man walk out of the Duke's mansion gate. His blond hair fluttered in the air, he was shirtless, wearing a military jacket that revealed his muscular, bronze physique. His tall stature was probably close to two meters, and from the side, one could see his resolute face, which looked as if it had been carved by a knife and axe.
He looked to be in his early thirties, with regular features, deep-set eyes, and twin pupils shining in each of his deep blue eyes. His face appeared slightly thin, but he possessed a metallic quality to his entire being.
He looked like he had just finished exercising, as there was still sweat on his face.
"Duke White Tiger, Dai Hao, it seems we can't infiltrate him after all." Ye Nanxiao looked at the iron-willed man, sighed, and turned to leave.
------------------
Ye Nanxiao, who had spent a day and a night rushing back, felt something was wrong. His clone kept winking at him. In the past, the clone would automatically deactivate its soul skill and turn into snowflakes to return to his body. But now, why was it sitting so upright? Was he really that serious?
Jiang Jia patted Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder and asked with a mysterious smile, "Xiao'er, how have you been lately?"
Ye Nanxiao subconsciously replied, "It's alright." But seeing Jiang Nannan's bright smile, he knew things were going badly. He said to Jiang Jia with a wry smile, "Mom, how come you seem to be getting younger and younger?"
Perhaps it was because of Ye Nanxiao's address that Jiang Jia seemed to be in a good mood. She gestured towards Jiang Nannan with her lip, indicating that Ye Nanxiao should handle it himself.
Ye Nanxiao walked to Jiang Nannan's side, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Nannan, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Nannan forcefully pulled Ye Nanxiao into her room, while the clone "Ye Nanxiao" smiled gloatingly.
Jiang Nannan closed the door and pressed Ye Nanxiao against it, bringing her pretty face close to his and staring intently at him with her big eyes. "Where have you been? You've been gone for so long."
Looking at Jiang Nannan's pretty face so close to his, Ye Nanxiao felt a little guilty and quickly begged Xue Di for help, "Xue'er, could you help me this time? I'll take you to Shrek City for a good meal later, I'll treat you to the whole street, how about it?"
"Good luck to you. I'm blocking you for now."
