At dusk, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi followed saintess Linghu Yan out of the Demon Subduing Pass, following the main road into the depths of the Endless Forest. There were corpses everywhere along the way. This was the road that the Seven Seas Army had fought on a few days ago. The road was covered in messy hoof prints, and the corpses of imperial soldiers lay on both sides of the road. At this time, flies were flying everywhere, emitting a strong stench.
Tang Xiaoxi frowned. These soldiers were all from the Seven Seas Province, which also meant that they were soldiers of Tang Xiaoxi's family. Seeing them die in a foreign land was naturally not a good feeling.
Lin Muyu could see that she couldn't bear to see it and urged her horse closer. She grasped her hand and said, "If it wasn't for these soldiers sacrificing their lives, the Demon Subduing Pass would have been broken before I arrived. Their sacrifice was worth it."
"Mm …"
Tang Xiaoxi didn't say much, but she knew very well that this sacrifice was actually worthless. This was a meaningless war.
Torches were lit on both sides of the road. The fox tribe's soldiers set up defenses along the sides of the road, seemingly guarding against attacks from the snakemen and lizardmen. The fox tribe was a highly intelligent race and knew the importance of Tang Xiaoxi, the "queen". However, the snakemen and lizardmen were no different from wild beasts. They wouldn't buy it.
As expected, snakemen soldiers appeared on both sides of the road not far away. They held battle axes and spears, glaring fiercely at Tang Xiaoxi and Lin Muyu. Tang Xiaoxi was fine. Although she was wearing human clothing, the dancing nine flame tails behind her were enough to prove that she was of the demon race. Lin Muyu, on the other hand, was a genuine human. The three golden stars on her collar shone with a frightening luster under the light of the flames. This was equivalent to telling the other races that she was a high-ranking human general.
Rustle …
Her palm moved lightly and grasped the hilt of her sword. Lin Muyu looked around with a cautious expression, the golden light within her body ready to summon the Golden Gourd to battle at any time.
Linghu Yan saw clearly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, young general. Without my orders, these snakemen won't attack you."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu turned her head and looked into the distance. She saw two bearmen soldiers fighting over food in the grass, and the food was actually a human arm. The insignia on the arm was the garrison insignia of the Seven Seas City. These bearmen actually ate humans!
"Heavens!"
His whole body trembled slightly, and he said in a stern voice, "Linghu Yan, you people eat people!?"
Linghu Yan was slightly taken aback, and faintly said, "The Fox Clan will never eat humans, but the Snake Men, Bear Men, and Lizardmen have very low intelligence, and are only very low-level warriors. This is a kind of innate instinct of theirs, and we ask the Young General to forgive us … It's already very difficult for the Fox Clan to command them. If we let them restrain this natural instinct, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the entire Demon Clan to unite."
Lin Muyu remained silent.
Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but say, "No … Absolutely not. We can't let them continue to eat people in the future. We must stop them …"
"Yes, Your Highness. This servant will do her best to change everything."
The Holy Maiden said respectfully, while looking at Lin Muyu's expression, and said, "Young General, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Muyu's hand did not move away from the hilt of his sword. He suddenly turned his face, and his handsome face was covered in frost, and he said in a cold voice, "I have an urge … to lead the human army and sweep through the Endless Forest, and kill all the Demon Clan."
"You …"
Linghu Yan felt a chill from the bottom of her heart. She believed that the young man in front of her would do this, and as long as he was willing, he had the ability to do it.
"Young General, give the Demon Clan another chance. I will change everything in front of me," Linghu Yan said in a pleading tone. "Without the blood of the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox as a guide, the Holy Power of the Rebirth Pool will become weaker and weaker, and the power of the Fox Clan will also continue to weaken. So we are unable to control the overall situation, and we also have no way to completely control the Snake Men, Bear Men, and Lizardmen. But as long as Her Highness Xi adds new divine power to the Rebirth Pool, our Fox Clan will be able to become the true rulers of the Demon Clan. Young General, please believe me."
"Mm."
Lin Muyu slowly nodded, and said, "You have all the time in the world to change."
… …
The Demon Clan's headquarters in the Endless Forest was not far away. It was about a three-hour journey, and as they advanced, the surroundings became more prosperous. Ancient buildings appeared on both sides of the road, and there were more high-intelligence races like the Fox Clan and the Deer Men here. The Snake Men, Lizardmen, and the others were isolated outside the headquarters.
"Hiss hiss …" A few Snake Men aggressively raised their weapons, as if they wanted to attack Lin Muyu.
But more than ten Fox Clan soldiers raised their scimitars and charged over. With a low roar, their scimitars were covered in flames, and they shouted at the Snake Men in a language that Lin Muyu did not understand, quickly driving away the group of Snake Men. It seemed that the combat strength of the Fox Clan could not be underestimated, and those Snake Men were not easy to deal with. If they could defeat them, they would have fought. The reason they were driven away was only because they were afraid.
"We've reached the Sacred Altar!"
Linghu Yan dismounted, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, come with me!"
"Mm."
Tang Xiaoxi also dismounted. The Sacred Altar was surrounded by flames, and it was very warm. She took off her robe, and her nine flame tails gently swayed behind her, making her look especially beautiful. On both sides of the Sacred Altar, there were countless Fox Clan members that were devoutly kneeling down. None of them dared to raise their heads, as if the Nine Tailed Demon Fox in front of them was a god that could not be blasphemed.
In the Pool of Rebirth, the lake was sparkling under the moonlight. Linghu Yan respectfully said, "This is the Pool of Rebirth. Your Highness, as long as a drop of your blood falls into the Pool of Rebirth, we will be able to save our Fox Clan's imminent defeat!"
"Mm."
Tang Xiaoxi had a feeling of joy from the bottom of her heart, as if she had returned to her hometown, which made her more convinced that what Linghu Yan said was true. This place indeed had an innate connection with her, and the Pool of Rebirth in front of her seemed to have lived in some reincarnation of another life. Tang Xiaoxi involuntarily stepped into the Pool of Rebirth. Her feet were surrounded by flames, and when she stepped on the water, she did not fall into it. Ripples appeared under her feet, which was magnificent and magnificent.
Under the moonlight, Tang Xiaoxi took out the dagger at her waist, and gently cut her finger. Suddenly, a few drops of blood fell into the pool.
"Splash!"
The blood splashed on the surface of the water, and instantly turned into a raging flame, which surged towards the whole Pool of Rebirth. The divine power was dense, and the sky was full of thunder and lightning, as if it was confirming an ancient legend. The next moment, the whole Pool of Rebirth blossomed with golden light, which soared into the sky. Tang Xiaoxi just stood quietly on the water, bathing in the golden splendor of the sky. Her whole body was filled with a refreshing feeling, and it seemed that she was enjoying it very much.
Even Linghu Yan knelt down, and her beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and joy. "The Pool of Rebirth has recovered … Great, the Pool of Rebirth has recovered, great …"
After about ten minutes, all the divine power seeped into the pool. Tang Xiaoxi turned back to Lin Muyu, and said with a smile, "Well, let's go to the Fountain of Immortality. Linghu Yan, take us to the Fountain of Immortality."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Linghu Yan looked respectful, and took the two to the back of the mountain, which was not too far away. Not long after, a clear spring appeared in front of them, and it was covered with a faint mist. It was actually a hot spring?
"We're here."
Linghu Yan said with a light smile, "The Fountain of Immortality is a holy land, and also a forbidden area of the Forest of Infinity. Ordinary Fox Clan is not qualified to bathe here. Your Highness, please, this servant will go outside to guard you."
Lin Muyu sat on a rock beside her, and said, "Then I'll guard here."
Linghu Yan burst into laughter. "In this case, won't the general see Your Highness's body?"
Tang Xiaoxi's pretty face blushed, and said, "Linghu Yan, you go down. It's fine, it's not like he hasn't seen …"
Lin Muyu also blushed, "Look at you guys, as if I'm that kind of person."
"You're not that kind of person?" Tang Xiaoxi tilted her head, and said with a smile.
"I'm doing this to protect you!" Someone continued to quibble.
… …
Tang Xiaoxi turned her back, and took off her clothes one by one. The mist lingered around her, and it was hard to see her clearly. Not long after, the beautiful girl's naked body appeared in the moonlight under the lingering mist. Her snow-white and smooth skin was very enchanting, and the nine flame tails gently swayed in the air, making the already stunning Tang Xiaoxi even more alluring.
Stepping on the pebbles and entering the spring, a silky smooth feeling wrapped around her body, and Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but moan with pleasure.
Lin Muyu lay on a rock, and looked up at the stars in the sky. He really didn't want to peep at a beauty bathing, but this place was in the inner circle of the Fox Clan, and it was really too unsafe. He had to protect Tang Xiaoxi at all times.
After nearly half an hour, Tang Xiaoxi also lay in the spring and soaked for half an hour.
"Mu, Mu …" She shouted with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu raised his head, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me you want someone to scrub your back? In any case, I'm still a Royal Guard, and I have to pay to scrub your back … "
"Nope."
Tang Xiaoxi stood up, and said with an ecstatic smile, "Mu, look at me!"
… …
Under the moonlight, the girl's graceful figure was lingering in the mist. The nine tails behind Tang Xiaoxi had disappeared, and her eyes had changed from golden to beautiful black. She looked at Lin Muyu with a smile, and said excitedly, "Look at me, I've changed back …"
Lin Muyu was stunned, and couldn't help but look down, and said, "And after not seeing you for a few months, you've developed quite a bit …"
"Ah, you scoundrel!"
Tang Xiaoxi pouted, and hurriedly sat back in the spring, and said, "Alright, turn around, I'll put on my clothes."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Tang Xiaoxi had already put on a young girl's outfit in the capital, and looked at him with a smile, "How do you feel now?"
"Can you still change back to the nine tails?"
Lin Muyu asked with a smile, "After becoming a nine-tailed fox demon, your strength has doubled. You need this kind of power."
"Yes."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were quickly covered with a layer of gold. The light behind her soared, and the nine golden flame tails danced quietly. She said with a smile, "Do you have any questions?"
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu pondered for a moment. "I really want to know if there's a hole at the back of your shirt. Otherwise, how could the Nine Tails extend out? If there's a hole, when you return to your human form, will you be able to see everything at the back …"
Tang Xiaoxi blushed, and didn't know how to answer.
