132: Chapter 132: Your Whole Family Are Pets

In every direction of White Emperor City, there were search parties everywhere.

East of the city.

Bai Moyang led three hundred retainers, searching house by house.

He rode on a Scarlet Flame Tiger, his expression gloomy.

"Search carefully for me! Do not let a single inch of ground go unchecked!"

"Any creature related to foxes must not be spared."

The retainers rushed into the civilian homes like wolves and tigers, turning boxes and cabinets upside down, causing chaos everywhere.

An old man walked out, trembling.

"Young Master, this old one really does not have a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox here..."

Bai Moyang did not even glance at him.

"Whether there is or not, we will know after searching."

With a wave of his hand, the retainers continued their search.

South of the city.

Bai Mohu was even more ruthless.

He directly sealed off three streets, ordered all residents to gather at the street corner, and then sent people to search house by house.

"Fourth Young Master, my family's ancestral home..."

A wealthy merchant accompanied him with a smiling face.

Bai Mohu slapped him across the face.

"Ancestral home? If the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is hiding in your house, your entire family will die!"

The wealthy merchant covered his face, not daring to speak again.

North of the city.

Bai Mowen was busy pulling strings everywhere, bribing informants.

He scattered large amounts of Spirit Stones in teahouses and taverns; anyone who provided clues would be heavily rewarded.

West of the city.

Bai Moxuan's few brothers were also taking action on their own.

Only Bai Moxuan's small courtyard was quiet.

Because he already knew how to find the whereabouts of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside White Emperor City.

A white streak of light streaked across the sky.

It was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

She transformed into human form, clutching her chest, her face pale as paper.

"Damn it... that old scoundrel, the White Emperor..."

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

When she originally broke the seal to escape, her strength was less than one-tenth of its original state.

After being hit by the White Emperor's full-force attack, her injuries were compounded, and now she could barely even maintain her human form.

"If it weren't for my severe injuries, how could I let you be so arrogant..."

She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging Qi and blood.

She looked up.

In the distance, the outline of White Emperor City was looming.

"White Emperor City..."

A trace of hatred flashed in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's eyes.

She had absolutely no good feelings for this place, nor did she have any good feelings for White Emperor City.

Now, she was filled with even more hatred.

But she did not hesitate and continued to fly toward White Emperor City.

She wanted to find that young man named Xiao Ran and tell him about the White Emperor's conspiracy.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox clan was extremely vengeful, so even if she died, she would make the White Emperor's plan fall through!

This was her revenge.

But just as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox approached the city gate, she suddenly stopped.

She swept her Divine Sense across the area.

She sensed the dense search parties inside the city.

"Damn it... that old scoundrel is investigating me?"

She understood instantly.

The White Emperor never intended to let her go.

The so-called City Protection Array to protect the safety of the city's commoners was nothing more than a cover.

He did this firstly to create chaos, and secondly to completely put her to death.

"Good, very good!"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was trembling with rage.

If she were in her prime, she would definitely reveal her true form and trample this city before her to pieces.

But she was currently in a severely injured state, and her strength was less than one percent of its peak.

So she could only swallow this insult.

Because in the search parties, there were several auras of the Soul Transformation Stage.

In her current state, once discovered, she would surely die.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox thought it over and could only grit her teeth, suppress her Demonic Qi, and shrink her body.

A moment later.

Only a snow-white fox remained in place.

It was the size of a palm, its nine tails merged into one, looking just like an ordinary little pet.

She concealed her aura and quietly sneaked into the city.

...

At the city gate.

Several city guards were inspecting passersby.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox used a secret technique to pass through the crowd without attracting any attention.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse; although she was severely injured, dealing with a few small fries was still not a problem for her.

After entering the city gate, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox carefully moved through the ruins, avoiding the search parties one by one.

Especially the Divine Sense searches from the few at the Soul Transformation Stage.

Several times, she was almost discovered.

The most thrilling time was when an old man at the Soul Transformation Stage flew over her head, and his Divine Sense swept across the corner where she was hiding.

She held her breath, restraining her aura to the extreme, and only then managed to escape.

"Almost there... just ahead is the inner city..."

She panted heavily, moving with difficulty.

Her injuries were too severe.

Every step she took was like dancing on the tip of a knife.

Just as she was about to pass through an alley.

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her!

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox stiffened all over.

It's over!

Subconsciously, she wanted to resist, but her Divine Sense swept over and discovered it was just a young girl at the Golden Core Stage.

Thus, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox could only forcibly suppress her instincts and let that hand pick her up.

"Oh my, what a cute little fox!"

A charming female voice sounded.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox looked up and met a pair of peach-blossom eyes.

It was a woman of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, dressed in red, bright and moving.

last stage of Golden Core.

This person was none other than Liu Hongxiu.

She held the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox by the scruff of its neck, looking left and right, her eyes full of surprise.

"This fur, this tail, these eyes... tsk tsk, top quality!"

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox: "..."

She was the dignified Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, a powerhouse at the Void Refinement Stage.

She was actually being held in the hand of a little girl at the Golden Core Stage, like carrying a real pet!

Humiliation!

Too humiliating!

But she dared not move.

Because once there was any unusual movement, it would definitely attract pursuers.

On the other hand, Liu Hongxiu hugged the injured fox and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

"Whose fox is this? How did it run here?"

She looked around, but did not find any owner.

"Could it be lost?"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was frantically complaining in her heart.

"You're the one who's lost, your entire family is lost."

On the surface, she could only whimper twice, pretending to be well-behaved.

Liu Hongxiu was even happier.

"Good, very good."

She rubbed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's head, it felt excellent.

"Since no one wants it, then it's mine."

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox: "???"

Wait!

What do you mean no one wants it?

This old lady has an owner... no, that's not right, this old lady is not a pet!

Liu Hongxiu didn't care; she was always used to acting tyrannically.

She immediately held the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in her arms and continued walking forward.

"Little fox, you are so lucky to have met this Young Miss."

"Follow this Young Miss, eat well and drink well, I guarantee you a lifetime of happiness."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox cursed angrily in her heart.

She had already started calculating to find a suitable opportunity to escape this woman's clutches and continue toward the inner city to find Xiao Ran.

But before she could take any action, she heard Liu Hongxiu muttering while walking.

"Coming into the city today, I was originally looking for that girl Linger."

"I heard that after she went back last night, it seems... hmm? Hehe..."

She smiled meaningfully.

"It just so happens I can ask her by the way, just how powerful that Xiao Ran is, to be able to charm our pure and innocent White Young Miss like this."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's ears twitched.

Xiao Ran?

Linger?

The White Young Miss?

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have... hit the jackpot?

This woman's goal was to go find Bai Linger.

And Bai Linger was the White Emperor's daughter, and also that Xiao Ran's woman.

If she followed her, she would be able to approach Xiao Ran logically.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was overjoyed in her heart.

Heaven never seals off all exits!

She immediately gave up on escaping; why not use a ready-made beast of burden?

So the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox immediately curled up in Liu Hongxiu's arms, one white tail swaying gently.

Pretend to be a pet?

This old lady is determined to pretend!

...

Yelaixiang Inn.

Xiao Ran stood in front of the window, watching the people coming and going downstairs.

Suddenly, his Divine Sense stirred.

At the street corner, a woman in red was walking this way.

In her arms, she was holding a small white fox.

Xiao Ran's gaze fell on that fox.

The fox also looked up and glanced at him.

Golden vertical pupils flashed and disappeared.

Xiao Ran's pupils contracted slightly.

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?

How did this creature... become a pet?

Before he could think it through, the door was soon knocked.

"Is Young Master Xiao here?"

A charming female voice came.
