79: Chapter 79 God-level Talent! She was really craving it.

"Mistress, do you want that Nine-Tailed White Fox?" Long Ze's voice came. The few men behind her narrowed their eyes slightly, displeasure in their gazes, but no one said anything.

"That Nine-Tailed White Fox is one of Xiao Linger's male leads. I must save him."

Feng Yange was struggling with how to explain it to them when Mo Yuan and Jun Chen exchanged a look. "Since Mistress has taken a liking to it, then it belongs to Mistress. We will just snatch it for you."

As they spoke, one black and one white figure had already dashed over. Feng Yange hurried to keep up, and the others behind didn't remain idle either.

[Host, Xiao Linger will save Bai Jiuxiao when he is on the verge of death while being surrounded and attacked by the Human Race. To repay Xiao Linger's life-saving grace, Bai Jiuxiao will take Xiao Linger into the Spiritual Vein to Cultivate, causing Xiao Linger's strength to advance by leaps and bounds.]

Feng Yange was very surprised to hear the System's explanation. She hadn't expected that this Bai Jiuxiao was actually the key to the Spiritual Vein.

"System, exactly how many male leads does this Xiao Linger have?"

[The System cannot investigate that. It only knows that Bai Jiuxiao will take Xiao Linger into the Spiritual Vein, and after draining Bai Jiuxiao dry, she will kill him.]

Feng Yange swore in anger. "Does this Xiao Linger even deserve to be a Child of Destiny? She is simply scum."

"Mistress, these people are all in the Spirit Emperor Realm; you don't need to do anything!"

Jun Chen and Mo Yuan moved swiftly, directly killing all ten or so humans who were surrounding them. Seeing their shocked and bewildered expressions, they took all the storage rings from their bodies.

"No need to deal with the corpses. Take this fox and let's go."

Bai Jiuxiao was still in his fox form, covered in sword wounds. There were many white foxes lying on the ground. Ling Feng walked over. "Get on, I'll carry you."

Bai Jiuxiao struggled a bit, but his leg injury was severe, and blood was constantly flowing. His eyes stared guardedly at the few people before him, deep hatred in his gaze.

Feng Yange walked up to Bai Jiuxiao and crouched down, taking out some spirit spring water to feed him. It only stopped the bleeding, but there were no signs of healing. Feng Yange frowned slightly and reached out to hold the fox in her arms. The stressed fox's fur stood on end, and its sharp claws slashed across Feng Yange's arm.

"Mistress..."

"It's fine. You guys go collect the bodies of his kin, and find a place to bury them in a while." Feng Yange instructed. Several people had already gone to find the fox corpses. Counting them up, there were about twenty or thirty foxes, but unfortunately, due to heavy injuries, they were all dead.

"Don't look at me like that. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't waste my spirit spring water at all." Feng Yange said in a low voice. Watching them finish collecting all the foxes, she looked around. "Ling Feng, find a place with a water source."

Once Feng Yange gave the order, Ling Feng immediately transformed into his true form. Feng Yange rode on him as Ling Feng led the way, quickly running toward the water source. The others followed. They arrived at an open canyon with a water pool beneath a cliff. Feng Yange lowered her head to look at the fox she was holding.

"I'll have them wash you clean, and then we'll find a clean place for you to recover from your injuries."

Bai Jiuxiao's claws were gripping Feng Yange's sleeve tightly. As soon as they got close, he immediately bristled, his guarded appearance making one grit their teeth.

"Mistress, are you sure he is really the fox you are looking for?"

Feng Yange was also feeling nervous inside and hurriedly asked the System, "System, is he really Xiao Linger's male lead, Bai Jiuxiao?"

[Detection complete. Nine-Tailed Fox Bai Jiuxiao, Divine-Grade Spiritual Root talent, one of Xiao Linger's male leads.]

"Divine-Grade talent!"

Feng Yange swallowed hard. Damn it, she really craved him!

"This is the one, no mistake." Feng Yange stared at Bai Jiuxiao. The quality of Xiao Linger's male leads was just too good, wasn't it?

However, he was hers now. After all, she had acknowledged the Heavenly Dao as her own father, so rounding it up, she was worthy of this Bai Jiuxiao.

"Since you don't want them to wash you, then I will wash you myself." Feng Yange threw Bai Jiuxiao directly into the water pool, then crouched down and took out some cleansing solution to wash him. Bai Jiuxiao, who was already severely injured, was knocked unconscious by Feng Yange's tossing and turning, which actually allowed Feng Yange to wash him clean in peace.

"Mistress, is he the seventh one?"

Xuan Li stared at Bai Jiuxiao, examining him carefully. Since Mistress said he was one of Xiao Linger's male leads, that was likely correct.

He needed to Dual Cultivate with Mistress quickly. Truly, there was too much soup and too little meat; it was pitiful.

"Let's save his life first. Regardless, he cannot be given to Xiao Linger. Whether to keep him or not depends on the situation."

She would not force this fox, but if he fell into Xiao Linger's hands, he would surely die. She would absolutely not allow Xiao Linger to get Bai Jiuxiao.

"Find a place to recover."

Feng Yange threw the fox into her space. After blocking the sound, she explained to the others, "He has a Divine-Grade Spiritual Root talent, and he is the key to opening the Spiritual Vein. As long as he doesn't fall into Xiao Linger's hands, I don't have to marry him."

"Then let him be the seventh."

The few men exchanged a look and spoke in unison.

Feng Yange looked at them. "Do you all trust what I say so easily? Aren't you afraid that I'm just lustful and want to marry him?"

"When Mistress married us, you didn't care about our appearance. We believe every word Mistress says. Mistress, feel free to do what you want. As for brothers, as long as it is what Mistress wants, we will accept it."

Feng Yange took a deep breath. "After he is settled, I will tell you all something."

Anyway, after forming the contract, their lives were all in her hands. It wouldn't hurt to tell them about the System; it would also save her from having to make excuses every time she acted, which was quite exhausting.

Inside the cave, the bedding inside the tent was warm, the campfire was burning steadily, and fish soup and meat were stewing in the pot, filling the air with fragrance.

Mo Yuan and Jun Chen checked the Barrier, Ling Feng and Xuan Li scouted the path, Long Ze went above to check the situation, Li Mingye helped cook, and Feng Yange was practicing Alchemy.

Feng Yange had already tried the medicinal recipe given by the System several times, but failed every time. If it weren't for the abundance of medicinal herbs, she wouldn't be able to afford the trouble.

"Mistress, why are you so persistent in refining this Medicinal Pill? Is it for that fox?"

Li Mingye looked at the red fruit on the medicinal recipe, his handsome face flushing slightly. Could it be that Mistress was refining this for them? But he wasn't of the Beast Race, so this Medicinal Pill shouldn't have any effect on him, right?

"This is a medicine to improve my Physique. I am human, and they are beasts; I cannot handle it."

Feng Yange lifted her eyes to look at Li Mingye, her gaze carrying a hint of helplessness. She looked at her increasingly crowded backyard and felt panicked.

She was afraid that her body would be drained dry, but she couldn't abandon them either. After all, once a contract was formed, it was for life; she had to be responsible.

"I thought Mistress liked having so many beast husbands, and there will be a seventh one later, who is also of the Beast Race." Li Mingye teased. Feng Yange sighed. If she had a choice, she would only want to Cultivate and become stronger; she didn't want so many men.

Feng Yange tried a few more times but still failed. Finally, she gritted her teeth and bought a beast body pill from the mall. After taking it, she felt her body rapidly filling with Spiritual Qi and becoming light. Furthermore, her body's structure seemed to have changed slightly, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Feng Yange tried again, adjusting the ratio of the medicinal ingredients. A burst of herbal fragrance wafted over. Feng Yange looked at the Pill Furnace with joy. "I succeeded!"

"Congratulations, Mistress. But can I eat this Medicinal Pill?"

Feng Yange frowned slightly. "This is a beast body pill, meant to improve my Physique. You should be able to eat it too, right?"

[Host, the beast body pill can also be consumed by men. When a man takes the beast body pill, it will have unexpected effects.]
