Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Fox Clan Princess, A Twist of Fate
“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.” Ye Feng murmured to himself, his face filled with dread as he shivered, his acting reaching its peak.
“Kid, you don’t look bad, and although you lack cultivation, you’ve caught the princess’s eye with your looks. I’m guessing you’ll be drained dry tonight, hehe!” Two Demon Generals, towering like iron towers, grabbed Ye Feng from both sides and brought him into a round-domed stone house.
“Have him bath and change, then wait for the princess to come over for dual cultivation.” One of the Demon Generals tossed Ye Feng into a tub and instructed the two young and beautiful human race maidens, both covered in bruises, beside him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt secretly thrilled.
Dual cultivation!
For real?
Hurry up, I can’t wait!
However, soon Ye Feng found himself looking into the sympathetic and pitying gazes of the two maids.
A maid with a mole on her mouth sighed, “Alas, you’re the eighteenth one, and in the end, you can’t escape the tragic fate of being drained dry by the Fox Clan Princess.”
“Drained dry, that’s terrible?” Ye Feng was bewildered.
So the Three-tailed Fox from before was indeed the Fox Clan Princess, and it seemed she was adept at using a strange technique to absorb the yang energy from men, extremely cruel.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng asked worriedly, “Sisters, how did you end up here, and is there any way you could let me go?”
“Sigh!”
The two maids sighed, tears streaming down their faces.
The maid with a mole on her mouth said woefully, “We were originally the daughters of noble families in Shuiyang City, but when the Demon Race attacked, ninety-nine percent of the population died. Only those of us with pretty faces survived, becoming the servants of the Fox Clan Princess.”
“Sisters, why didn’t you escape?” Ye Feng continued to ask.
“We don’t have any cultivation, how could we escape?” The maid with a mole on her mouth sighed, looking at Ye Feng with sympathy, “Young master, you will be drained dry and die soon, so enjoy these last moments… If you have any last wishes, you might as well express them, because you won’t have the chance later.”
Ye Feng realized these two maids were actually nice people.
It was just a pity that these two women, powerless to tie up a chicken, had no ability to resist in this perilous Demon City.
“Quickly, have your bath and change!”
The two maids stripped off Ye Feng’s coarse hemp clothes, washed him with water, and finally dressed him in a set of clean, fitting white robes. They then left the round-domed house and closed the door behind them.
Once Ye Feng was left alone in the room, the corners of his mouth gradually lifted into a smile.
“Fox Clan Princess… I wonder if taking her hostage would reveal some useful information.” Ye Feng sensed around and found that the three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy of the Wind Spirit Pearl had already been fully replenished, so he wasn’t too worried.
With his current abilities, as long as he didn’t face the Demon King head-on, escaping shouldn’t be too difficult.
Creak!
The door was pushed open by a pair of fair hands.
The Fox Clan Princess, full of seductive charm, walked in, closed the door tightly, and gave Ye Feng a wicked smile.
“What a handsome young man. I just wonder how much strength you can provide for me, whether it will be enough to help me break through my realm,” said the Fox Clan Princess with a chuckle, her expression suddenly becoming fierce. She grabbed Ye Feng’s shoulders, threw him onto a cold jade platform, and smirked.
“Big… big sister, could you please spare me?” Ye Feng decided to play it cool for a while, and at the same time, activated the Scouting feature of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
[Fox Clan Princess: High-ranking Demon Soldier Peak]
[Talent: Seizing]
[Remark: A Three-Tailed Demon Fox adept at devouring the yang energy of men to strengthen herself. Devouring one more person will allow her to advance to a Lower-rank Demon General. She may appear beautiful and enchanting but is actually extremely cruel. She carries the bloodline mark of powerful Fox Clan members, and should she perish, it would be noticed.]
Upon seeing the last sentence, Ye Feng’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
Bloodline mark?
It seems that the Fox Clan Princess couldn’t be killed for the moment; he needed to knock her out first, otherwise, it would draw the attention of the powerful Fox Clan.
Ye Feng felt secretly glad to have the Scouting function of the Spirit Beast Pavilion. Otherwise, other infiltrators would probably have killed the Fox Clan Princess first, exposing themselves.
“Kid, come, lie down nicely, and you’ll suffer less pain,” said the Fox Clan Princess suddenly, baring her teeth as her face elongated, transforming into the sharp maw of a Demon Fox, poised to bite down on Ye Feng’s neck.
“Screw you!” Ye Feng brought his hand down like a knife on the back of the Fox Clan Princess’s head, causing her eyes to roll back as she fainted on the spot, unable to wake up for quite a while.
[Ding, task progress 20%]
At that moment, the System suddenly popped up with a notification.
“Knocking out the Fox Clan Princess actually progressed the mission… Could it be that the mission is related to the Fox Clan Princess? It makes sense, she’s a princess after all, with a different status and identity.”
Ye Feng’s lips curled into a smile as he searched the Fox Clan Princess’s body and found a canine tooth belonging to the fox clan, which still had a strand of special aura clinging to it.
[Ding, task progress 35%]
Hearing the prompt, Ye Feng immediately realized, “I get it, this canine tooth is the key to the mission!”
Just to be safe, Ye Feng sliced open the Fox Clan Princess’s arm and took a drop of her blood. He then hit her head a few more times to ensure she wouldn’t wake up for half an hour.
“Time to go,” Ye Feng said, holding the Fox Clan’s canine tooth and a drop of blood, using the power of the Heroic Spirits to push aside the ground and form a tunnel. He then used the scouting function to find a location with a similar aura to the tooth and began to tunnel toward it.
With the aid of the Heroic Spirit Power, Ye Feng moved quickly.
A moment later.
Ye Feng’s head popped out from beneath a huge dome-shaped building, surveying the surroundings, which were extravagantly furnished. On the bed, there lay a snoring Demon General of the Fox Clan, at least on par with a fifth level of the Element Gathering Realm.
“Damn, dug the wrong way!”
Ye Feng quickly restored the passage and started digging in another direction.
Luckily, he had the Wind Spirit Pearl to mask his aura, otherwise, the Demon General with Spiritual Sense would have discovered him on the spot.
For the next quarter of an hour, Ye Feng opened up five dome-shaped halls one after another, narrowly avoiding discovery by the Demon Generals within and causing his heart to race.
“This is too dangerous!”
Ye Feng continued digging.
…
The Fox Clan Princess still lay on the ground within the dome-shaped building where she had been, drooling all over the floor, mumbling in her sleep.
Outside the door.
Two Demon Generals stood like iron towers. Since the room housed the Fox Clan Princess, they dared not release their Spiritual Sense to scout around, but from inside, they occasionally heard strange sounds from the Fox Clan Princess like “yummy,” “give me,” and “hahaha.”
“It looks like the princess is having a lot of fun,” the two Demon Generals exchanged glances, blinked, and shared a knowing look.
Their duty was to protect the Fox Clan Princess.
Now that they were sure the princess was safe and seemingly enjoying herself, they didn’t care about the passage of time and stood quietly outside the door.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was still tunneling.
Finally, he broke through an underground passage and entered a large hall built beneath the surface, where no guards were present. Ahead, he saw a square door about ten meters high, entirely carved from white stone.
[Ding, task progress 45%]
Noticing the progress increase, Ye Feng’s lips slightly curled up as he thought to himself that the System’s prompt function was indeed a bug, confirming whether he was going in the right direction.
“Looks like the secret is right here.”
Ye Feng took out the canine tooth he found on the Fox Clan Princess, looked for a while on the stone door, and found a recess to fit the tooth into.
Click, click, click…
The stone door slowly opened.
A stone corridor leading deep underground was revealed, flanked by burning ancient bronze lamps, which lit up the surroundings.
Ye Feng walked down the corridor, becoming increasingly cautious along the way.
