Chapter 280: Chapter 138: Combining Strength and Flexibility
“Indeed, it is so!”
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The spot where the Qinghu had appeared was precisely the path they had taken, and he had already scoped out the area numerous times, clearly aware of any potential dangers.
The appearance of these creatures in a place they knew was safe, influenced by the Charming Destiny, was telling enough.
“What should we do, Zhang Xuan?”
Fu Yingying also realized what was happening but, seeing the vicious expression on the four Qinghu’s faces, panic appeared in her eyes as she looked over.
“Charge at them, unleash your charming ability, and try to bewitch them…” Zhang Xuan gestured.
“Me? Charge at them?”
Fu Yingying’s eyes widened.
She was only at the Peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, while these Qinghu were of the Galaxy Realm, and one of them had even reached the double level. Such a gap, she feared she might be torn to shreds before she could charm them!
“Go, there won’t be any problems!” Zhang Xuan said.
Knowing that he was confident, Fu Yingying, despite the fear in her eyes, gritted her teeth, “You watch from here. If there’s danger, save me immediately…”
After saying this, she took a deep breath and strode towards the Qinghu.
“This man… Truly useless!”
Their conversation wasn’t loud, and Fu Weiwei, not far off, hadn’t heard it. She only saw Zhang Xuan quietly standing behind, commanding his “Goddess” to face the ordeal, her eyes filled with disgust.
Facing danger, although Shen Wujun had run away, he at least resisted for a while; but this guy didn’t block at all and sent the goddess straight into the fray… Shameless!
She couldn’t hold back anymore: “Yingying Sister, let me help you…”
Fu Yingying rebuffed her, “Get lost!”
“Alright!” Fu Weiwei reluctantly moved aside.
By then, Fu Yingying had already reached the four Qinghu. Their sharp teeth gleamed coldly, seemingly ready to charge and bite through her throat any moment.
Suppressing her inner fear, she activated her Charming Destiny power, her fingers gently caressed her cheek, revealing her slender neck, then her fingers slid down, stopping on the shirt above her chest and lightly touched it, parting the fabric.
“Ow?”
The four Qinghu looked at each other, and the next moment, their expressions turned ferocious as if insulted, and with a roar, they charged at Fu Yingying.
“Ah…”
No longer posing, Fu Yingying retreated in terror, shouting simultaneously, “Save me…”
“Don’t retreat, activate the power of the Heart of Tranquil Water, keep going…”
Zhang Xuan did not move forward but yelled out.
Trusting him, Fu Yingying, though frightened, quickly activated her recently enhanced Heavenly Destiny Power, releasing her charm without reservation.
Seeing her in this state, Fu Weiwei’s admiration intensified, her eyes almost entranced.
“Ow ow ow ow~~”
In contrast, the Qinghu grew even angrier, their roars incessant.
If initially they just harbored some hostility towards Fu Yingying, now they seemed desperate to tear her apart…
“Have you learned how to charm Primordial Beasts?” A moment of Spiritual Light flashed through his mind, and Zhang Xuan yelled out.
Beasts were different from humans; what humans saw in those actions could be intriguing and exciting, but animals might see it as a provocation.
I want to eat you, and you’re undressing… What’s this, think your clothes might get stuck in my teeth? Preparing ahead?
It’s like when you’re cooking, and the vegetable cleans itself…
“I’ve learned a bit… I’ll try!”
Fu Yingying also realized, and instantly straightened from her “S” shaped posture, standing tall, she shouted furiously, “Stop right now!”
If previously, she appeared as a delicate girl, now she had transformed into an imposing figure.
Sure enough, at her stern command, the approaching Qinghu looked at each other, their earlier arrogance gone, all involuntarily took a few steps back.
“Not bad, keep going!” Zhang Xuan nodded repeatedly.
Whether it was a Primordial Beast or an animal, they feared evil people; too much kindness only invited humiliation.
“Okay!”
Encouraged, Fu Yingying lost her previous nervousness, her face full of anger as she stepped forward, exuding an aura ready to slay anyone at any moment.
The four Qinghu stepped back again, whispering among themselves as if discussing strategies.
“Divide and conquer them, break them individually!” Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice.
“Yes!”
Fu Yingying nodded, looked at one of the Qinghu, who no longer seemed ferocious, but slightly smiled, “Come over, let’s play…”
Her voice soft, her smile and gestures confused the originally angry Qinghu, who suddenly seemed bewildered.
“It’s effective…”
Realizing that this method was useful, her eyes brightened, Yingying, paying no heed to danger, approached and gently stroked its head; the other Qinghu that tried to intervene were scolded away by her.
With differentiated treatment, this Qinghu truly became different from before, its eyes, formerly slightly murky, now cleared.
Moments later, the creature gently wagged its tail, crouching before her like a fawning dog—successfully charmed!
“I understand now…”
Fu Yingying, her face excited, felt she had gained a deeper understanding of Charming Destiny.
Charming wasn’t always about gentleness; a blend of soft and hard, kindness and authority often produced unexpected effects.
Just like a Goddess dealing with bootlickers, if she’s overly pleasant, she can’t control them; maintaining some distance allows them to amplify her virtues in their minds, that’s the essence of charm.
What you can’t have is always the greatest, that’s the crux.
“Boom!”
As her realization deepened, Zhang Xuan felt his own Charming Destiny power, indeed, advanced further, his face showing helplessness.
If just now he had barely broken into the third level, by now, it was completely stabilized. In terms of understanding and grasping the Charming Destiny, he might even match the clan head of the Fu Family…
“Stop dawdling, quickly subdue them, we can find a pattern, and Fu Jingjing and the others will definitely manage as well…”
Casting aside his messy thoughts, Zhang Xuan interrupted Fu Yingying’s excitement.
He was smart, and so were Fu Jingjing and others. If they could discover this pattern, so could the others; they had to speed up, otherwise, without enough Landing Pearls, no matter what, they’d have to admit defeat.
“Yes!”
Fu Yingying might not have known his thoughts, but respecting the “god’s” requests, she didn’t dare defy and immediately faced the remaining three Qinghu, exerting her Charming Power.
With the experience of subduing one, the remaining three were quickly charmed. She then looked at the Qinghu in front of her, smiled gently, her face blooming like a peach blossom, “Can you lead us to find the Landing Pearls?”
“Ow~~”
The four Qinghu, excited, nodded vigorously, tails tucked as they all hurried in another direction, fearful of lagging behind, lest the credit was stolen by another fox and they missed out on showing off in front of the goddess.
“Follow them!”
Zhang Xuan nodded and briskly followed.
