Chapter 116: Whoa, Fox Girl!! Part 2
He was right. That was the extent of his dark past. And for wealthy young masters, it was nothing.
“I’m not worried about myself, but I am concerned about those around me,” he added.
She raised an eyebrow. “You mean Bai Ruoxi?”
He nodded. A trace of demonic aura lingered within her Vessel. It had been a major incident in Tianxuan City. It wouldn’t be difficult to uncover. And the Third Prince was now close to Huang Manting. He might learn something from her.
I should talk to her. He made a mental note.
“Be careful. Don’t give them any ammunition,” Wei Mengrou warned, her voice cold.
He smiled, nodding. “I know. If my secrets are going to be exposed, it’s better if it’s by someone I trust.”
Or if they fall into Mengrou’s hands, I wouldn’t mind that either. He glanced at her alluring figure, sighing inwardly. We’re truly a perfect match, Mengrou.
“What are you looking at?” she asked, noticing his gaze lingering on her legs, then her feet. She quickly hid her feet, glaring at him.
“Nothing. I was just thinking,” he replied, quickly composing himself. “I’ll go check on Ruoxi and warn her to be careful.”
After all, someone was investigating them. It was best to be cautious. Secrets were safer in the hands of trusted allies.
He left Wei Mengrou and entered Bai Ruoxi’s room. Incense burned, its fragrance filling the air. She was sitting on her bed, her white dress accentuating her pale skin, her hands resting on the mattress, her feet bare, her white socks discarded.
But that wasn’t the important part. The important part was a pair of fox ears had sprouted from her head. She was biting her lip, her eyes filled with confusion and distress.
She seemed to sense his presence, looking up at him, her face flushed, her beauty even more alluring than usual.
“Mu Lang… something’s wrong,” she whispered, her voice soft and vulnerable.
He froze, wanting to call out to Wei Mengrou: Honey, come look! It’s a fox girl! But he knew she would just roll her eyes. And while he was delighted by her fox ears, he couldn’t help but frown.
Why did they appear now?
This was the Two Polarities Sect. The sect master might be open-minded, but the other disciples, they might gossip. People were envious by nature. Bai Ruoxi was beautiful, talented, and seemingly flawless. And she already had a partner. If someone discovered this weakness, it would surely become a topic of conversation. And with the Third Prince investigating him, it could be problematic.
He closed the door and approached her bed, studying her beautiful face. “When did this happen?”
She bit her lip, her voice soft. “I was meditating after we returned. I felt like I was about to break through to the second level of Core Formation, and then I felt this tingling sensation. And when I opened my eyes…”
She looked down, her gaze meeting his, her eyes filled with apology. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen.”
She knew what having fox traits meant within the sect. Even if Senior Sister Lan didn’t mind, it would attract unwanted attention. And it would cause trouble for him.
So as her cultivation increases, her Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline awakens. He sat beside her, taking her hand, his voice serious.
“Did you grow a tail?”
“No,” she replied, her face pale, her eyes wide and innocent, their beauty even more captivating. She had been worried about his reaction. Would he be shocked, then concerned? Knowing him, he would hide his worries and try to comfort her. But that would only make her feel more guilty for burdening him. But he was asking about her tail?
“Aren’t you worried about what will happen if this is discovered, Mu Lang?”
He squeezed her foot, his gaze lingering on her face. Perhaps it was because of her fox ears, but she seemed even more alluring than usual.
“I’m worried, but there’s no need to panic,” he said, unable to resist touching her lips.
There were more pressing matters to attend to.
