Chapter 485: Chapter 424: Whose Child Is It?

With her body in the hands of an outsider, Sang Luo could no longer remain calm.

“This female body is my most prized treasure. All other collectibles pale in comparison to ’her.’ She’s clearly not dead, yet her soul is gone, and she carries the offspring of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan in her womb. How fascinating.” Ye Wushuang’s deep, magnetic voice sent a chill down the spine. “I had intended to cut open her belly and take the fetus, but I was blocked by another power. Its Divine Venerable Power is no less than my own. Does it come from the child’s father?”

He turned his head, looking thoughtfully at Sang Luo. He seemed to enjoy the sight of her pale, sweating face, and the smile at the corner of his lips widened. “Why so nervous, Your Highness? Could it be… your child?”

“You lunatic!” she snarled through gritted teeth.

“I am merely curious about whose child you are carrying. There are only a few pure-blooded Nine-tailed Heavenly Foxes left, and most of them are old-timers who can no longer reproduce. The aura of this fetus is quite similar to the Young Master’s, but not entirely…”

The man rose and walked to the coffin. His pale, cold fingers, with their well-defined knuckles, caressed the female’s exquisitely beautiful face, slowly tracing down her cheek and over her graceful, wonderful body.

Obsession filled his eyes.

“Beauty, how about you bear a child for me?”

Sang Luo found his actions utterly nauseating. ’He! He couldn’t have… done something with my body, could he!?’

’Pervert! Shameless!’

“In your dreams!”

“I am a businessman. If you’re willing to bear a child for me, how about I return this body to you?”

Sang Luo felt even more disgusted. ’This guy seems insane. His eyes hold no trace of a father’s longing for a child, only a deep, perverse curiosity!’

’He wants to collect his own child, one that doesn’t belong to this time and space. That would be a unique, priceless treasure in this world!’

CRACK!

Several cracking sounds echoed as Sang Luo, having stalled for time, broke free from her restraints. Astonishment flashed in the dark eyes hidden behind Ye Wushuang’s mask. She threw a punch at his face, which Ye Wushuang hastily dodged.

The wind from her fist knocked his mask off. It fell to the ground with a CLATTER, revealing his true face.

His features were sharp and deeply carved, as if by a knife and chisel. His brows were as dark as ink, his nose high, and his eyes deep-set. He had a pair of long, piercing, cyan-and-red eyes, the corners of which drooped slightly, giving him an air of arrogant pride born from a weary contempt for the world. His lips were blood-red, their extreme beauty filled with a lust for blood!

Sang Luo stared, stunned for a moment. A slight smile touched Ye Wushuang’s lips as he took the opportunity to pin her back onto the bed. Snapping back to her senses, she gritted her teeth and kicked him in the groin. The man let out a grunt, his expression changing drastically. “You!”

Taking advantage of his moment of weakness, Sang Luo slipped out of his grasp like a nimble fish and dashed straight for the coffin.

The moment she touched her original body, an irresistible wave of dizziness washed over her. Sang Luo’s soul was instantly pulled out, and she fell into a brief darkness.

When she opened her eyes again, her perspective had shifted. ’My own body feels so much better!’

“Come back!”

Ye Wushuang closed the distance in an instant, intending to capture her again.

Sang Luo’s gaze turned sharp. She waved her palm, sending out a jet of Phoenix Essence True Fire. Ye Wushuang casually blocked it, and his fingers were instantly burned to the bone.

His eyes grew even more fanatical. “Divine Venerable Level power? Heh heh, I want to possess you more and more!”

The flesh and blood on his hand regenerated rapidly.

Sang Luo couldn’t be bothered to waste words on a pervert. She unleashed a torrent of miscellaneous attacks at him: Thunder Balls, Fireballs, Water Dragon Roars, Devouring Power, the Light Law… Ye Wushuang’s expression darkened, and he was forced to focus all his attention on dealing with this troublesome female. However, he only defended and did not attack. Sang Luo had no intention of a prolonged fight. She feinted with her sword, then smashed through the window to escape, simultaneously activating Space Jumping and disappearing without a trace.

Ye Wushuang teleported outside a moment too late. He looked at the rubble on the ground, lowered his gaze, and fell deep in thought…

…

「In a quiet valley surrounded by cliffs」 Sang Luo had slain numerous Evil Beasts along the way. Her stamina was heavily drained, and her face was slightly pale.

“Dammit!” ’I don’t know if it’s because of the pregnancy or if that pervert did something to this body in secret, but it feels incredibly weak. Thankfully, I can still use my Talent Abilities.’

Just in case, Sang Luo used the Transformation Technique to once again assume the appearance of Princess Ji Wan.

She wanted to return to the Red Fox Clan. There was still a promise she hadn’t made to that little fox.

The sky was gray and overcast, and a light rain had begun to fall at some point. An invisible barrier seemed to cover Sang Luo, deflecting all the raindrops around her.

But as the rain grew heavier, the energy barrier gradually weakened, and her clothes slowly became soaked…

She had to find a cave to shelter from the rain.

Countless bizarre creatures crawled out from the ground.

Ghost-faced infants with two heads, man-faced trees, all sorts of deformed creatures… they had been refined into corpse puppets…

Sang Luo squeezed her eyes shut, and all the illusions vanished.

She opened her eyes and looked toward a certain point in space.

“Pavilion Master, have you ever heard the phrase ’like maggots clinging to a bone’? It means you’re disgustingly persistent.”

“You can’t escape.” Ye Wushuang’s figure appeared in the cave.

Sang Luo raised her hand and launched an attack, shattering the illusion.

After resting for a night, Sang Luo left the cave and continued to orient herself, heading toward Guangfu City.

She was all alone, wandering in circles countless times like a headless ant, unable to find an exit from this sealed-off space.

She tried to activate her power of time-space travel but found it wouldn’t work… ’That guy really did do something to my body!’

An unknown amount of time passed. Her consciousness grew dim, and she pitched forward toward the ground. In the next instant, she fell into a young man’s warm, broad embrace.

Sang Luo forced her eyes open. The young man from the Fox Clan was holding her tightly. He seemed to be using his own body as an umbrella, shielding her from the downpour. He was soaked to the bone, his clothes and long hair plastered to his body. The water streaming down him almost formed a small channel, and his shoes and lower robes were caked in mud. He was a complete mess.

“It’s you…” Sang Luo was stunned, then she laughed. “Another illusion?”

’The hard approach didn’t work, so now he’s trying the soft one?’

Yun Qi’s arms tightened, and his voice was choked with emotion. “Your Highness, it’s me. I’ve come to take you home.”

The young man had a slender build, but he held her and walked forward with steady steps. He raised a hand and tore open the curtain of rain, ripping an exit through the void.

Ye Wushuang suddenly appeared, blocking their path. His eyes were ice-cold. “Leave this female behind, and you can go.”

“The last time I met the Night Pavilion Master, I didn’t have a chance to greet him. It was quite rude of me.”

“…You recognized me.”

“There are many rumors about the Pavilion Master, so it wasn’t hard to guess. I was originally hoping to befriend you, Pavilion Master. But if you insist on making things difficult for me and my wife, then don’t blame me for being discourteous!”

Yun Qi transformed into a giant, black Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox and carefully hid Sang Luo in his mouth. His long, narrow, dark fox eyes glowed with crimson gold as he looked down upon the green-robed man before him, unleashing a surging Divine Venerable Power strong enough to shatter mountains and sunder rivers!

Just as he thought a fierce battle was about to begin, Ye Wushuang’s figure vanished.

Yun Qi paused for a moment, then leaped into the exit and disappeared as well.

…

「They reappeared deep in a secluded mountain forest.」

Yun Qi carried the unconscious Sang Luo into a small wooden cabin.

The cabin hadn’t been inhabited for a long time. Fortunately, a protective Array had been set up outside, so it hadn’t been damaged by passing beasts or winter storms and was still in perfect condition. A thin layer of dust covered the items inside. He raised his hand, making the room pristine in an instant, and replaced the bedding with a soft, comfortable cloud-down quilt.

Yun Qi took a fresh set of clothes from his spatial storage and changed Sang Luo out of her soaked garments. When his gaze fell upon her abdomen, it lingered for a brief moment…
