Because of the small mirror, the white fox had nowhere to hide in Fang Ruotang's eyes. Even if he shook off the people in the arena, he couldn't shake her off.

She then used a concealment artifact, and the group of five followed him like a ghost.

The white fox was very vigilant. Even when there was nothing around him, he always felt that someone was watching him and would look back every now and then.

The three of them used invisibility talismans, so Fang Ruotang didn't make a sound, and they didn't make any noise either. In addition, their cultivation level was slightly higher than that of the white fox, so it was basically impossible for him to detect them.

They couldn't understand why Fang Ruotang was following this person, and kept signaling to her with their eyes to hurry up and do her job, whether to knock her unconscious and take her away, or knock her unconscious and take her away.

In their view, it was nothing more than contracting a beast; there was no need for so many complicated steps. They could simply subdue it by beating it into submission.

If the bones are too hard, then kill it.

It's either death or surrender; there's no other way.

Animals that have gained intelligence will choose the second path.

What's the rush? Let's see what he's going to do first.

Fang Ruotang believed she had her own rhythm, and instead rolled her eyes at Old Ancestor Yan Yun and the others.

The trio fell silent.

If Fang Ruotang's feelings hadn't been conveyed to them unilaterally, they would have exchanged a few words.

Look, look, what's so interesting!

What would you like to see?

At this moment, Rong Xing was acting as a mouth double for the three of them, including Ancestor Yan Yun.

As soon as he spoke, the three of them looked at him with more affection.

[Look, he's about to steal it! Does that mean he doesn't want to be sold? And I also want to see why this arena is used for capturing monsters?]

"...Perhaps it's for making money?" Rong Xing asked hesitantly, looking as if he was afraid of hurting Fang Ruotang's pride.

Fang Ruotang reacted somewhat strongly by asking a question.

Is it really that superficial?

Rong Xing: ...

The three, including Ancestor Yan Yun: ...

Where exactly is this superficial?

Humans eat grains and cereals.

Cultivators need resources and spirit stones to cultivate.

No one can live without these mundane things!

[I thought it was Heaven's doing behind this again! If it's just for spirit stones, then I won't follow him. I'll just show myself and take him away!]

Fang Ruotang thought for a moment, and was about to show herself.

They were stopped by four people at the same time.

Fang Ruotang looked at them, puzzled.

The four people showed varying degrees of embarrassment.

I don't know why.

I always felt that Fang Ruotang's words might have inadvertently revealed the truth behind it all.

【What's wrong? 】

Fang Ruotang controlled her inner thoughts and didn't complain, nor did she show any impatience on her face, but she secretly thought that men's minds are so fickle.

They were the ones urging her.

The same people were still stopping her.

Let me take another look.

Rong Xing spoke up, not afraid of contradicting himself in front of Fang Ruotang.

I think you might be right. I was just thinking about it; the fact that the Taotie has been born at this time and ended up here is no simple matter.

Right? You think so too?

Fang Ruotang was already close to Rong Xing, and upon hearing Rong Xing's words, she squeezed even closer to him, as if she wanted to embed herself into his body.

Rong Xing lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and stretched out his body even more, pulling her into his arms with both hands, displaying a possessive demeanor.

Only when Fang Ruotang behaved like this did Rong Xing dare to fully unleash his possessiveness.

[Little Mirror said this white fox isn't just any white fox; it's the son of the Fox Emperor.] Fang Ruotang pressed her lips to Rong Xing's ear, not needing to speak, but as if she were whispering something.

Rong Xing was very pleased. He, who was usually reserved, had a big smile on his face, which made the three of them, including Ancestor Yan Yun, unable to stop looking at him.

He was completely unaware that he and Fang Ruotang were already glued together, and he kept pulling Fang Ruotang into his arms.

The three of them were quite an eyesore, and I almost wanted to cut off their connection. Why did I have to say something earlier? I was afraid we'd become invisible to each other.

If I hadn't been so talkative, I wouldn't be eating this dog food now.

Fang Ruotang's words surprised them greatly, and they all stared at her with wide eyes, their expressions quite clear.

Fang Ruotang nodded affirmatively.

Yes, he is the son of the Fox Emperor, from the fox clan that has humans in the upper realm, and he is the fox clan member with nine-tailed blood.

The expressions of the three, including Ancestor Yan Yun, immediately turned serious.

After all, the Fox Emperor—just hearing that title tells you how powerful he is. His son has actually ended up in the arena. No wonder Fang Ruotang wanted to follow him and secretly observe him without alerting him.

"Young Master, I am late."

Whitetail is here.

When Fang Ruotang saw him, she had a feeling that she had expected it.

"It's not too late, it's perfect! I've already located the cubs in the clan. Gather your people now and go rescue them."

After the white fox finished speaking, it raised its finger and tapped the white tail's forehead.

Baiwei hesitated: "But young master, your injuries..."

"It's alright. A strange female cultivator came out and fed me a spiritual pill. I feel fine now. Rescuing the cubs in the clan is more important."

"...Alright! Young Master, please wait here. I will be right back."

Fang Ruotang stared in disbelief as the two men loudly plotted in front of her.

What do they mean by this? Was this white fox deliberately used as bait to be captured and brought here?

Fang Ruotang was asking Xiao Jingzi about this, since she had told her about the origins of the white fox before, but hadn't mentioned this important matter.

The little mirror was also confused, and he flipped through the Time Travel Mirror.

【No! Before this, the white fox hadn't told anyone about this. He just went out to train, ran into the demon-hunting team, and during the fight, his demon core was damaged and he was captured. I specifically looked back, and there was no conspiracy to use them as bait. However, the disappearance of the fox cub is a fact.】

The little mirror felt guilty.

He was only focused on the white fox and didn't even glance at what was happening in the fox clan's territory.

But this time he learned his lesson and quickly went to check out Whitetail.

[This white-tailed fox was actually the bait we'd set up earlier. He deliberately flaunted his tail in the arena. Uh... it was because of what the adult had said earlier that he caught his attention, which led to his contact with the white fox.]

Fang Ruotang: ...

Little mirror, when will you grow up?

As she spoke, she nudged Rong Xing's chin with her fluffy head and asked in a complaining tone.

When you created him, couldn't you have made him a little smarter? Even just one-tenth of his intelligence would have been fine!

Rong Xingwei lowered his head and gently kissed Fang Ruotang's head. He didn't reply to Fang Ruotang's words, and he knew that she didn't really think the small mirror was bad.

After all, the master and the servant are kindred spirits and equally matched.

"Sir, are you disgusted with me?"

【yes! 】

The little mirror instantly started crying, expressing its grievance.
