Chapter 331: Little Spirit Fox, Du Juan

Feng Qingge was starry-eyed, the little monster in her heart calling out. She couldn’t take it anymore; she was turning gay.
She pinched Qin Yi’s face, her eyes twinkling as she insisted, “Don’t mention it.”
Qin Yi pushed Feng Qingge’s demonic claws away. Qin Yi could tell that this chap liked groping her, so it would be better if she wasn’t too pleasant or friendly with her.
Although she didn’t have any expression on her face at the moment…
Feng Qingge didn’t tease Qin Yi anymore and simply held her hand as they went down the mountain. This walk had opened up Qin Yi’s eyes to all sorts of weird flowers and strange animals that left her confused.
Feng Qingge knew that Qin Yi wasn’t very familiar with this dimension, so she explained everything patiently. By the time they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Qin Yi had gained a better understanding of the Star Continent.
In this continent, the strong were respected and people cultivated a type of spiritual power instead of abilities. There were also various jobs here, like spiritual masters, summoners, and more.
This made Qin Yi become even more curious about this continent.
After they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they still had to walk through a forest. Feng Qingge was in a good mood, explaining, “This is the demon forest and there are many spirit beasts inside it. Oh, they are just like Xiao Lan and Scarlet. Little Yiyi, if you see one you like, we can sign a contract with it.
As she was speaking, a small figure charged at high speed out of nowhere and leaped straight into Qin Yi’s embrace. It was pitiful as it snuggled into her arms and kept squeaking.
Qin Yi furrowed her brows as she picked up the little thing. It looked quite adorable – it was white and had small, pointy ears. Its eyes, however, were purple, a very beautiful light purple much like the prettiest gem.
“What is this?”
Feng Qingge rubbed her chin and took a look, then smiled, “This should be a spirit fox. This type of spirit beast understands human nature and is very clever, but it doesn’t have much combat power. Summoners don’t really value them but some people from large aristocratic families like to keep them as pets.”
The little spirit fox squeaked as its limbs grabbed onto Qin Yi’s hand tightly. It was a small ball of fur, looked like it was a newborn, and was quite nice to hold.
Qin Yi’s eyes were indifferent.
“You want me to save you?”
The little spirit fox’s eyes lit up and it nodded firmly. It pointed behind itself with its tiny claws and kept calling out.
Du Juan gave an imploring look, feeling that it was very unlucky. She just wanted to find some nectar. Who could have known that an ugly woman would be attracted to it, insisting on having it as a spirit pet?
Du Juan was the descendent of the nine-tailed fox! It couldn’t simply give in.
Qin Yi looked coldly at the little spirit fox and didn’t give an answer, which caused Du Juan’s heart to beat hard. Oh, did it look for the wrong person? But this big brother is so handsome, how could he be a bad person?
Alright, the naturally beautiful nine-tailed fox was also a race that looked at one’s appearance.
“Hey, stop right there, Big missy. I have had my eyes on that little bastard, so let it go right now,” an arrogant voice resounded.
Qin Yi looked up and saw a young lady in blue holding a whip in her hand. The whip had a faint blue light and Qin Yi wasn’t sure what material it was made from, but it was covered with thorns.
The young lady was quite good looking, with a head covered in gold hairpins, but the arrogance on her face had ruined her beauty. However, her messy hair was extremely eye-catching.
Qin Yi was laughing in her heart but didn’t show it on her face at all. Looking at the little spirit fox, with neither joy nor anger in her tone, she asked, “You made that?”

Chapter 332: Pretty Big Brother

The little spirit fox, Du Juan, hesitated for a moment before it nodded honestly. This pretty big brother had terrifying eyes; it was as if nothing could escape those silent phoenix eyes.
Qin Yi shook the little spirit fox and said to the young lady in front of her, “Are you referring to this?”
Nan Tingxiang looked at the prince in white before her, her eyes dazzled. Gosh, she had never seen such a dashing young man before.
Dressed in white with snowy white skin, his complexion was akin to jade, and he had black eyes, a high nose bridge, and seductive red lips.
His phoenix eyes were clear yet deep, and his long black hair hung over his shoulders with a faint glow as he stood as gracefully as a celestial being.
Nan Tingxiang felt that the prince in white was definitely comparable to the Nebula Seven Sons.
Feng Qingge glanced playfully at Qin Yi and leaned over to whisper in her ear, “Little Yiyi, you’re really charming, huh? You made a princess fall for you the moment you arrived. She is the South emperor’s favorite daughter. Tsk, tsk. How lucky!”
In the past, thousands of girls had been smitten with her, but she didn’t expect Little Yiyi to steal her limelight the moment she arrived here.
Qin Yi knitted her brows. She couldn’t tell what was so lucky about it, only feeling that Feng Qingge was gloating in her misery.
Feng Qingge had already told her that there were emperors in this dimension. Although imperial power did not dominate exclusively, the emperor still had quite a bit of power.
Nothing was more bothersome than a spoiled princess from an imperial family.
She glanced at Feng Qingge casually, her voice as clear as a stream, “Qingge, you would definitely be more attractive if you were dressed like a man. Do you want to give it a go or should I tell this princess that you’re the Peach Blossom Prince, one of the Nebula Seven Sons? What do you think?”
The smile on Feng Qingge’s face froze – damn, no way! She had remembered that Princess Xiangxiang had previously chased her relentlessly. She was way too scary.
Feng Qingge laughed dully and lowered her little head, “Little Yiyi, I was wrong.”
A great man knew when to give in and when not to. Anyway, Little Yiyi would be leaving this place soon, so it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing to help her block some unattractive ladies.
With that thought, Feng Qingge’s eyes lit up. Oh right, Little Yiyi could help her block out some unattractive ladies. Oh, it seemed like she had to make a trip down to the academy with Qin Yi.
Qin Yi’s mouth twitched – this person had no morals.
The little spirit fox, Du Juan, in Qin Yi’s hand looked at Feng Qingge with a hint of disdain in its eyes. There was actually a guy who liked to dress like a girl? Was he a pervert? No wonder he was so ugly and totally incomparable to the pretty big brother.
Pardon the little spirit fox, it’s a female.
Nan Tingxiang quickly fixed her hair then blushed while walking towards Qin Yi, “Sir, my name is Nan Tingxiang, but you can call me Xiangxiang. The spirit fox in your hand is my spirit pet. I wonder if you could return it to me?”
Qin Yi glanced at the little spirit fox, which trembled as it grabbed onto Qin Yi’s hand tightly.
‘Pretty big brother, please don’t hand me over to that ugly woman, I don’t want to go with her,’ it cried out.
Qin Yi’s head was aching from the little fox’s cries. She rubbed its head with her finger and coaxed the little fella skillfully.
Qin Yi’s body temperature was lower than that of an ordinary person’s, but when her finger landed on the little spirit fox’s head, Du Juan didn’t find it very cold. Instead, it was so comfortable that it wanted to turn over and reveal its white belly, letting this pair of hands rub it.

When Du Juan realized what it was thinking, its little pointy ears turned red. Oh god, how could it be so perverted? If Great Elder found out, he would beat its buttocks.
Oh, but the pretty big brother was really so gentle. It liked him so much!
Qin Yi didn’t notice the little spirit fox’s strange behavior, merely looking coldly at Nan Tingxiang.
“Does it belong to you just because you said so? I am saying that this is my spirit pet. I wonder why you are chasing after my spirit pet?”
Nan Tingxiang was stunned. She looked at the little fella who had been glaring angrily just a few seconds before but appeared unusually obedient in Qin Yi’s hands right now.
A spirit beast like the spirit fox may appear cute and obedient but it was very cunning on the inside. At the same time, it was also very hard to tame, so Nan Tingxiang was quite convinced by Qin Yi.
If it was someone else, she could still snatch it back, but seeing Qin Yi’s flawless face, Nan Tingxiang was in a complete trance. He was such a perfect prince, so she should give him some love.
But Nan Tingxiang didn’t want to give this spirit fox up either. She didn’t want it for herself but for her grandmother, whose birthday was coming up soon. She needed this spirit fox’s blood, which would allow her grandmother to appear ten years younger
Nan Tingxiang clenched her teeth and revealed a sweet smile pasted over her face. She stroked her hair and gently said, “I wonder if you could bear the pain of giving it up? It’s my grandmother’s birthday, you see, and I want to show my filial piety.”
Qin Yi got annoyed by Nan Tingxiang. Her face turned cold and she said bluntly, “No. Why would you use my spirit fox to show your filial piety? Also, are you done talking? Please move to the side. I want to go over.”
If it wasn’t for Nan Tingxiang and her bodyguards blocking the only available path, Qin Yi would have simply walked away a long time ago. She couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on Nan Tingxiang.
One of the guards, a black-faced man, scolded Qin Yi, “Hey, do you know who this is? She is Princess Xiangxiang! How could you be so disrespectful?”
Nan Tingxiang waved her hand and glanced coldly at the black-faced man, then said in a gloomy voice, “Black eagle, who said you could interrupt?”
Black Eagle was taken aback and immediately went on his knees to beg for mercy.
“Princess, please forgive me. I spoke too much.”
Nan Tingxiang ordered coldly, “Don’t do it again.”
She turned to Qin Yi with a gentle gaze and explained, “My apologies, my subordinate is clueless. You don’t have to care about my status, I will not force you. Let’s be friends, alright?”
Qin Yi’s black phoenix eyes were icy, a mocking smile appeared on her face. In her head, she thought, ‘You’re not using your status to force me? Your bodyguard spoke up at the perfect timing, eh?’
Everyone at the scene knew what was going on, even the little spirit fox in Qin Yi’s hands. It could tell what Nan Tingxiang was thinking and it disliked her even more for it.
‘Oh, how dare she bully my pretty big brother. I must punish her!’
A wisp of fragrance drifted by, so faint that Nan Tingxiang didn’t notice a thing.
However, Qin Yi and Feng Qingge, who both had a sensitive sense of smell, could detect it clearly. Qin Yi looked deeply at the delighted little fox in her hands.
The little spirit fox immediately stopped smiling and buried its head in Qin Yi’s hands, seeming guilty.
‘Pretty big brother didn’t notice that just now, did he?’
Qin Yi merely took a glance at the little fox that was pretending to be dead, then her gaze shifted, but Feng Qingge was staring at the little fox with interest.
‘This little thing isn’t as simple as it appears to be. Ah, Little Yiyi is really lucky.’
Feng Qingge was also annoyed by this love-struck princess. Rolling her eyes, she went forward to hug Qin Yi’s arms. Her voice was very flirtatious as she cooed, “Big brother Yiyi, who is this big sister?”

Chapter 334: He Has a Fiancée?!

Nan Tingxiang was so done when she heard someone calling her big sister. She was the flower of the Glorious South, merely 18 years old.
Nan Tingxiang turned around to look at who had spoken and saw a stunning young lady hugging the prince’s arm. Her red dress and beautiful face made her look like a blooming rose – it was hard to resist falling for a young lady like her.
But Nan Tingxiang couldn’t help but feel jealous. Where did this woman come from? She wouldn’t have forgotten a beautiful face like this if she had seen her around before, so she was certain that she hadn’t seen this person before.
This woman must come from an improper background. Hng, did a wild woman without any status deserve such a charming prince?
Nan Tingxiang looked at Feng Qingge disdainfully and lifted her chin up high, asking, “And who are you? Where did you come from?”
Feng Qingge was speechless. She was standing right here for such a long time, but this love-struck princess actually didn’t notice her at all. Her eyesight was truly amazing.
Although Feng Qingge was cursing her out in her heart, the smile on her face was still very sweet.
“Who am I? I’m Yiyi’s fiancée, ah. En, big brother Yiyi, am I right?”
Qin Yi looked indifferently at Feng Qingge. She didn’t know why, but even without any emotion in those eyes, she still felt the disdain Qin Yi had towards her.
“Yup,” Qin Yi replied casually. She admitted the fact but sounded very unwilling.
Feng Qingge’s mouth twitched – was she that embarrassing? She was a popular pretty boy, after all. Must little Yiyi treat her this way? Could it be that she wasn’t as attractive as before?
Feng Qingge didn’t think much about it and continued holding Qin Yi’s arm with a wide smile across her face, “Did you hear that? Big brother Yiyi is my fiancé. You should go somewhere cooler, don’t be in the way of our hot affection. You still dare to call yourself a princess. Look at how you’re almost drooling when you look at big brother Yiyi. Which princess would be so shameless as to covet someone else’s fiancé, huh?”
“You…” Nan Tingxiang was so mad, her face flushed. This b*tch was so daring, she actually dared to talk to her in this way. After all, she was the esteemed princess of the Glorious South.
However, Feng Qingge didn’t give Nan Tingxiang a chance to speak, continuing, “I think you’re just pretending to be Princess Xiangxiang. I heard that Princess Xiangxiang was elegant and noble. She wouldn’t do something so shameless.”
Nan Tingxiang choked. This b*tch had made her speechless. This was the first time a compliment didn’t make Nan Tingxiang feel happy at all.
Qin Yi wanted to laugh, the corners of her mouth twitching, but then she realized she couldn’t laugh at all, a tinge of bitterness flashing across her heart.
Her emotions were slowly returning. At first, she had some emotions, like anger, but they were very slight. Or rather, she knew that she was feeling a certain way, but just couldn’t express it.
The little spirit fox was very sensitive, sensing that Qin Yi was in a bad mood. Pretty big brother’s expression was indifferent and didn’t have any changes to it, yet the little spirit fox could tell that Qin Yi wasn’t in a good mood at this moment.
It reached out its furry head to bump Qin Yi’s palm, returning her to her senses. When she saw the little guy trying so hard to please her, she tapped its nose and gave it a hug.

Qin Yi did not wish to bicker much with the princess, immediately turning cold and impolite. “Please make way, we want to pass through.”
Nan Tingxiang felt anger when Qin Yi spoke to her coldly and was prepared to retort when she suddenly felt a burst of flame rising from within. She became extremely hot and felt like taking her clothes off.
Nan Tingxiang did exactly as she had thought, Black Eagle watching in shock as his clean and pure princess started to strip, a dazed look on her flushed face.
The male’s weakness was laid bare right here. Black Eagle knew that he should stop the situation, but his eyes were unable to move, and his legs remained rooted to the ground.
Feng Qingge became bored, pulling on Qin Yi and walking off. She didn’t forget to comment on the starry-eyed princess, however, tutting, “Aiyoyo, public morals are degenerating with every passing day. There’s all sorts of people in this world, but it’s my first time seeing someone like that.”
Out of the forest, Qin Yi put the thing down and spoke to it coldly, “You can go.”
The little fox’s body was filled with energy, and she could tell that it was not any ordinary spirit fox.
The little spirit fox Du Juan reluctantly rubbed against Qin Yi’s hands and whined. It did not want to leave this pretty big brother. Although it was their first time meeting each other, it was extremely reluctant to leave.
Feng Qingge raised an eyebrow, stating, “Little Yiyi, it seems that this little fox spirit has taken a liking to you. Why not keep it?”
Du Juan’s eyes immediately sparkled when it heard Feng Qingge’s words. Its sharp ears pricked up as though having made a decision, revealing small teeth when it bit Qin Yi’s hands.
Qin Yi was startled when a naive, childlike voice suddenly rang out inside her mind, “Pretty older brother, my name’s Du Juan. You have to remember that.”
Feng Qingge patted Qin Yi on the shoulder, a smile in her phoenix eyes as she spoke, “Little Yiyi, congratulations. This spirit fox is an esteemed nine-tailed fox; its aptitude isn’t bad.”
Qin Yi swiped Feng Qingge’s hands away. “You did this intentionally, knowing that I don’t belong here and have to return.”
Feng Qingge was startled, having forgotten about that. Or rather, she had subconsciously hoped that Qin Yi would stay. Who knew if the old man had a way to make Little Yiyi stay longer…
Feng Qingge rubbed her nose: “I forgot, but at that time, you can bring it along with you. Since it’s willing to form a contract with you, it will naturally be willing to leave with you as well. It can stay in the Origin Space later on.”
Qin Yi was helpless and could only do as Feng Qingge recommended. The contract they adhered to was a life and death contract and could not be undone.
She extended her hand and folded the little spirit fox into her embrace. Qin Yi caressed its head, “Since you chose me, I will take good care of you.”
“Zi, zi, zi.”
The little fox squinted its eyes happily and snuggled into Qin Yi’s embrace as it fell asleep. It was still very young and forming the contract had used up its spiritual power.
As they left the forest, they encountered more and more people. They were in Orchid Crescent City, which was a relatively rich and flourishing city. It had many mercenaries on missions, as well as disciples from noble families who were out to temper themselves, much like Nan Tingxiang.
Qin Yi and Feng Qingge had uncommon features. One was a white robed young noble, calm and cool, while the other was a girl with flamboyant eyes, dressed up in red. The two naturally became the center of attention.
Feng Qingge looked around with a blazing gaze. Her nickname, Peach Blossom Prince, was not just for show, but at the moment, she was anxious to find a tavern.
She was unaware of how long she had ‘died’ for. Although her clothes were clean, her mysophobia made her feel uneasy.
Qin Yi felt the same, so the two kept moving and headed straight for Orchid Crescent City’s largest tavern, Clear Sky Tavern.
