Fang Ruotang stared blankly at the six hands that suddenly appeared on her chest. Because the six people were too hasty, they touched her body lightly or heavily, and her face immediately turned red.
After all... no matter how much mischief they cause inside, no one else will see it.
But now they are standing in a circle around them.
She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed: "What are you doing?"
The six people, who were always good at vying for attention and taking advantage of each other, had no spare thoughts at this moment. After all, they had the same goal and did not notice Fang Ruotang's shy feelings at all.
"The fox cubs are so cute, let me hold them."
"Yeah, I want to hug you too."
"I'll do it!"
All six of them wanted to capture the fox cub. The fox cub clung to Fang Ruotang's clothes with its little paws, but it still couldn't escape its fate of being captured.
Fang Ruotang was stunned for a moment before the blush on her face subsided.
I know she misunderstood.
But I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't you dislike it? How come you suddenly like it now?"
Cui Shixu grabbed the fox cub by the neck, stroked its fur in his hand, and asked with an extremely gentle smile, "When did we say we didn't like it?"
“But when I wanted to buy one, you wouldn’t allow it!” Fang Ruotang said, giving Cui Shixu a disdainful look.
Cui Shixu smiled and didn't explain further.
Fang Ruotang's brow twitched. Hearing the fox cub's scream and seeing Cui Shixu's smiling face, she said speechlessly, "He seems a little uncomfortable being held like this?"
"Really? It's probably just shy around strangers! A few more hugs will do the trick." Cui Shixu said, glancing at Gu Yanjin.
Gu Yanjin stepped to the side and blocked his way.
The fox cub then stopped crying.
Fang Ruotang tilted her head to look; she was still lively, but no longer screaming.
Cui Shixu chuckled, "See! He's just shy around strangers. It's true that holding him more will help. From now on, let us take turns holding him more often! That way, your little one won't become distant from us."
"Okay!" Fang Ruotang agreed without much thought.
Gu Yanjin's movement only blocked Fang Ruotang's view, but those behind clearly saw that in that brief moment, Cui Shixu cast a silencing spell on the fox cub.
Everyone's faces showed a mixture of anticipation and suppressed laughter.
Fang Ruotang had something to say when she entered the Tianyi Secret Realm, so her mind wasn't on this, and she didn't look at the fox cub any further.
He then spoke with Ancestor Yan Yun and the others about the fox clan's attack on the arena.
"When things are in such a chaotic situation, why doesn't the sect leader lead his disciples to join us, but instead leaves us all in the Tianyi Secret Realm?" Ancestor Yan Yun said confidently.
He looked exactly like a bandit.
It's obvious they're just trying to pick up the scraps by following behind.
He immediately scratched Fang Ruotang's itch, and she felt a little tempted.
"...This isn't a good idea! After all, it's a matter for their demon race, and what if the fox race can't win in the arena?"
"How is that possible! The Fox Emperor himself has taken action."
Ancestor Yan Yun refuted without even thinking.
And he implied meaningfully, "They came here to avenge Xun, so they probably don't have time to do anything else. This is an opportunity for our Tianyi Sect."
Fang Ruotang scratched her face, embarrassed, and said, "Isn't that a bit petty?"
"Nonsense! Encountering it is an opportunity! If you are too embarrassed to stay in the secret realm, I will personally lead my disciples to handle this matter."
Unlike Fang Ruotang, Ancestor Yan Yun did not have such high moral standards. In addition, as the Supreme Elder of Tianyi Sect, he had certain powers. He disregarded Fang Ruotang's slight resistance and directly summoned people.
The disciples in the secret realm, upon hearing the sect's summons, arrived one after another.
In no time, a thousand people had gathered.
Fang Ruotang rubbed her face, somewhat speechless, and said, "Isn't it a bit unnecessary to have so many people?"
She couldn't say, but some of these people were just there to deliver vegetables!
It's not like we're clearing land or cleaning; there's no danger involved.
Ancestor Yan Yun agreed, saying, "Those below the Golden Core stage, stay here and continue doing what you were doing. The other disciples, come with me out of the secret realm."
After saying that, he glanced at Fang Ruotang and gestured for her to send everyone out.
Fang Ruotang gritted her teeth and opened the secret passage.
He ended up half-heartedly joining the robbery team.
She felt it was ungentlemanly, but she couldn't resist her greed.
Although Ancestor Yan Yun has not been involved in the sect's affairs for many years, he is, after all, a man who can establish a sect on his own, and his ability to lead a team on a simple mission is not bad.
While Fang Ruotang was hesitantly opening the passage, he had already assigned the team members.
The six people, including Ancestor Murong, Du Zhong, and Gu Yanjin, each led their own teams.
The number of people was not large, less than fifty people in one team.
Fang Ruotang wasn't given any tasks, but she had already walked up to Ye Wuxia's side. The other five people just glared at Ye Wuxia with disdain and didn't say anything more.
Ye Wuxia lowered her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with tiny sparkles of light.
His long, slender, fair fingers took Fang Ruotang's hand.
Fang Ruotang turned to look at him, thought for a moment and reassured him, "Don't be afraid. Although this is the territory of demonic beasts, I don't feel any danger. I'm here!"
"Yes, with you here, I'm not afraid."
Ye Wuxia was also willing to go all out.
Previously, these words of showing weakness were only said secretly by the two of them in their room to Fang Ruotang in order to win his favor. Now, they can say them in public without any burden.
There's nothing special about it; it's just a matter of practice.
"Don't believe him. He can take on both of me now. You should protect me!" Gu Nancheng shouted out casually.
Fang Ruotang looked over suspiciously.
I don't really believe it.
Gu Nancheng is a carefree prince, not a good-for-nothing prince.
As far as she knew, Gu Nancheng was very good at playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football) on horseback. Such a person had excellent riding and archery skills, and was much better than Ye Wuxia in every way.
Poor scholars, rich warriors.
Ordinary people can grit their teeth and pool the resources of their entire family to support a student's education.
However, to produce a martial arts graduate, unless one is exceptionally gifted and blessed by God, even grinding one's teeth to pieces would be impossible. Not to mention hiring a skilled martial arts master to teach them, the mere fact that they can eat meat at every meal is enough to deter ordinary people.
"Don't try to fool me!"
Fang Ruotang stared at it for a couple of seconds, then turned her head away, clearly not believing it.
Gu Nancheng: ...
Ye Wuxia smiled.
He took Fang Ruotang's hand and left.
They didn't give anyone else a chance to persuade them to stay.
In fact, apart from Gu Nancheng, no one else wanted to keep him.
Fang Ruotang was a bit stubborn and thought that Ye Wuxia was the weakest of the six of them, so she would always take the initiative to approach Ye Wuxia in these kinds of situations.
They did try, but failed.
Since they weren't competing with Ye Wuxia for the person, but rather arguing with Fang Ruotang, how could they possibly win? So they simply decided not to say anything more about it.
Even Gu Nancheng was just going through the motions and making empty promises. It would be great if he could get the resources, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't. Seeing Fang Ruotang being taken away, he turned around and went to grab the resources as well.
I wasn't sad or disappointed at all.
