Chapter 650: Who is the real robber?
Regardless of the circumstances, they were just strangers who met by chance, and Gu Heng had no intention of interfering in other people's private affairs.
Judging from Mu Qingyu's appearance, she doesn't seem to be in trouble; she's more like part of the trouble herself...
The little fox girl had barely left when a cold wind began to blow outside the window again. This time, a man wearing a green robe entered the private room, his face cold and indifferent, exuding a chilling aura.
Gu Heng looked up and noticed that the other person also had a fox tail behind them.
Another fox.
"Is something wrong?"
Gu Heng calmly drank his wine. "Did you see a fox-clan girl just now?" the fox-clan member in the green robe asked.
"Yes, I saw it. It ate all the food and drinks I ordered and then ran away." Gu Heng spread his hands, revealing a table full of empty plates, proving his honesty.
The fox clansman in the green robe frowned, then quickly left.
Time is precious and fleeting.
Although he had suspected it for a while, Gu Heng was now certain that the fox spirit Mu Qingyu was probably a young lady from a prominent family of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan who had run away for some unknown reason and was now being chased.
No matter why you're being chased, it's best to never run into them again.
Gu Heng and she were even. She told him that a demon wanted to kill him, and he repaid her with a sumptuous meal. Neither of them owed the other anything.
Next.
It's time to set off. Since we've decided to go to Twilight Moon City to watch the forging competition, let's get going!
……
Above Demon Cloud City.
A black-robed fox clan figure, exuding an aura of power, stood there, while another figure emerged from below on the wind.
"How about it?"
"That was just an ordinary human, no threat at all. The princess ate some food at his place and then left."
The fox clansman in green robes replied.
"The princess's aura has disappeared again. This is going to be difficult."
The black-robed fox clan member was worried: "The 'True Spirit of the Fox Emperor' within the princess could be revived at any time, and now, at this critical juncture, instead of staying in the ancestral land to cultivate, she has run out on her own, making us chase after her relentlessly. It's really annoying."
As two powerful fox demons who were "entrusted with important tasks", they could have quietly enjoyed their cultivation within the clan, but the most precious little princess of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan ran away!
If they've run away, we have to go find them.
But this is already a troublesome situation. After all, if someone is determined not to go back, even if you force them, something bad will definitely happen. If anyone is injured, no one will have a good outcome.
No one wants to take on this thankless and arduous task.
But it just so happened to them.
It can only be said that misfortune always seems to find its way to the unlucky.
"Alright, stop complaining. We still need to keep searching, otherwise how will we explain to the clan chief?"
The fox clansman in green robes offered a low, somber advice.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed fox clan member took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing his frustration, and nodded in agreement.
"...To be honest, do you think the reason the princess ran away this time is related to the matter announced by the clan chief?"
The black-robed fox clan members couldn't stay still, and naturally, they started chattering away.
The fox clan member in green robes paused for a moment.
"It's definitely related."
At this critical juncture, the little princess suddenly ran away. In fact, everyone knew the reason perfectly well: the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable had announced the marriage between the little princess and the only grandson of the White Feather Immortal Venerable.
She did not like her future husband.
This marriage alliance was not unexpected; it was simply a powerful alliance between the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan and the White Feather Medicine Palace.
The grandson of that Immortal Venerable Baiyu is also a highly talented alchemist with unlimited potential.
As for why the marriage alliance was arranged...
This matter is not a secret within the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan. It's just that the little princess was born special, and in order to ensure her safe growth and the realization of her talent, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Venerable owes a lot of favors to the White Feather Celestial Venerable, the "Number One Alchemist in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm".
The favors owed by alchemists are usually the hardest to repay.
But ironically, the most useful and debt-repaying "talent" of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan has always been their primordial yin and primordial yang!
It was like an irony and a sin sent down by God, so that no matter how strong the entire fox clan became, they could not change this innate mark.
“Let’s continue our search. If the young princess has any complaints, she can only report them to the clan leader.”
The fox clansman in the green robe sighed, his tone filled with melancholy.
“That’s true. It’s not our place to make decisions about these things.” The black-robed fox clansman also sighed.
They are all powerful fox demons, and of course they hope for the prosperity of their clan. But if they have to choose sides... that would be too difficult for demons.
There's no question of who's right in this kind of situation. And it's not for those two unlucky guys who were sent to capture the young princess to discuss it.
……
Following the map given to him by the bear-clan shopkeeper, Gu Heng left Demon Cloud City and walked along the mountain road.
Following this direction, you should pass through seven or eight more cities before finally arriving at Twilight City. In short, it's definitely not a short journey.
Even with the Swift Boots, it would still take at least two or three days to use.
It's a pity I didn't ask Mu Qingyu when the forging competition would start. If I miss this opportunity to observe, I might not get another chance.
He hasn't taken out his Swift Boots yet.
After walking for about half an hour, Gu Heng finally got what he wanted.
Suddenly, four figures jumped out from the roadside, each exuding an aura of ill intent. The one leading them was naturally the waiter from the restaurant!
"I thought you weren't planning on robbing me."
Gu Heng silently put away the map.
"Oh? You actually knew what I was going to do?"
The waiter's expression was completely different from before. Now his eyes were filled with bloodlust and crimson, as if he had seen a delicious raw meal.
“A kind little fox girl reminded me, but it wouldn’t have mattered if she hadn’t.”
Gu Heng silently took out his goose-feather knife.
"You four, I can tell at a glance that you're not qualified to rob me."
Just for a moment.
The "Omniscient Perspective" skill provides four feedbacks.
All of them are "threats: equivalent to nothing"!
The other party's malice was so obvious that Gu Heng didn't even need to guess what "equivalent to nothing" meant.
They can't beat themselves!
Now let's see who robs whom!
