81: Chapter 81 This fox is actually a fool.

Feng Yange's gaze landed on his leg bone. "Your leg is healed?"

Bai Jiuxiao nodded, showing no intention of letting go of Feng Yange. His gaze was fervent and sincere. "Aren't you looking to go to the Spiritual Vein? I can take you inside, but you must agree to one condition."

"Let's hear it."

"I want you to marry me and let me be your husband."

Feng Yange's drowsiness vanished instantly. Looking into Bai Jiuxiao's earnest eyes, she reached out to touch his forehead. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Bai Jiuxiao nodded. "You are a good person. I can take you back to the Spiritual Vein, but you must marry me. This is the rule of our Fox Clan. Only in this way can you accompany me to the Spiritual Vein."

"So if I don't marry you, I can't go back to the Spiritual Vein?"

Seeing Bai Jiuxiao nod, Feng Yange had a sudden realization. She finally understood why Bai Jiuxiao had been devoured and then completely wiped out by Xiao Linger; it was all because he was doomed by this Fox Clan rule.

"Doesn't your Fox Clan worry that this rule might harm the entire clan? What if the human who marries into the Fox Clan has impure motives? Have you never considered the crisis your Fox Clan would face?" Looking at Bai Jiuxiao's sincere eyes, Feng Yange didn't even need to imagine how miserably he and the Fox Clan would have died if it had been Xiao Linger who saved him today.

"The Fox Clan generally does not form contracts with humans. You are the first." Bai Jiuxiao suddenly grasped Feng Yange's hand. "Don't you want to go to the Spiritual Vein? You saved me, and I am willing to take you there."

The Spiritual Vein was his dowry, and her husband-to-be even said she was a good person.

"What a truly foolish fox."

Mo Yuan and the others appeared behind Bai Jiuxiao at some point, shaking their heads with eyes full of disdain.

They had thought this fox would be difficult to handle, but they hadn't expected him to be a fool.

Feng Yange rubbed her forehead. She also thought this fox was foolish. Just because she saved him and gave him a Bone-Knitting Pill, he was offering up his own life and that of his entire clan. Weren't foxes supposed to be very clever?

"Are you unwilling to marry me?"

The light in Bai Jiuxiao's eyes dimmed, and he released Feng Yange's hand, his expression stiffening.

"Mistress, just take him in. He's so dim-witted that if he really fell into someone else's hands, the Fox Clan would be wiped out again." Xuan Li truly couldn't watch anymore. He finally understood why Mistress had said that Bai Jiuxiao would meet such a miserable end if he fell into Xiao Linger's hands; it turned out this fox was genuinely foolish.

"Xuan Li is right. This guy really cannot fall into anyone else's hands, or the Fox Clan will suffer." Having experienced the destruction of his own clan, Ling Feng would rather have another brother than see the Fox Clan wiped out.

Looking at them, Bai Jiuxiao's face flushed red. He wanted to get angry, but thinking that they would all be brothers in the future, he could only glare at them in exasperation. "How can you say that? This is the rule of my Fox Clan!"

The others simply couldn't bear to look and turned their heads away, not wanting to play with a fool for fear of being infected.

Feng Yange also felt that this Fox Clan rule was far too rash.

"How about this: let's spend some time together first. If you can willingly accept being my husband, then we shall see. There's no need to marry me just for the sake of some so-called rule. We can wait a few days before entering the Spiritual Vein."

It just so happened that she needed to refine some Medicinal Pills over the next few days, and Bai Jiuxiao could take the time to recover and think it over properly.

"Then, have them tell me more about you, and I will judge for myself."

Feng Yange looked at Long Ze and the others. Xuan Li patted his shoulder. "Fine, for the sake of the Spiritual Vein, we'll take you along." As long as they could enter the Spiritual Vein, whether they took this guy in or not didn't matter much, as long as he didn't end up with Xiao Linger.

"A-Ze, we still need to send people to keep an eye on Xiao Linger. If there's any situation, let me know immediately."

"Rest assured, Mistress, I will keep watch, but..." Long Ze lowered his eyes, rarely feeling this embarrassed, but his red ears betrayed him. Feng Yange tilted his chin up, forcing him to meet her gaze.

"Speak your mind."

"Mistress, after I accepted the Legacy, I need your help, just like that night."

Long Ze's eyes turned red, and his mist-filled golden eyes held a hint of grievance. "I beg Mistress to help me."

He was really struggling; he didn't even dare to Cultivate on his own anymore.

"If I don't help you, will you lose control?"

Seeing Long Ze nod, the mist in his eyes grew thicker.

"A-Ze, I don't understand many things about the Beast Clan. Next time, just tell me directly." Feng Yange cupped his face and kissed him. "Go prepare. During this search for the Spiritual Vein, I will have plenty of time to spend with you all."

"Thank you, Mistress. I'll go make arrangements right away." Long Ze was very excited. So Mistress had already planned it out; she really did have him in her heart.

Watching Long Ze's retreating figure, Feng Yange's face instantly fell. "System, are you sure the beast body pill can really save me? I'm genuinely afraid of having my kidneys drained."

[Rest assured, Host, the beast body pill can make your body as strong as a female beast's and will also bring unexpected strength improvements to Dual Cultivation.]

"The way you put it, how does it feel like I'm cultivating in the Hehuan Sect!"

[Host, do not worry about the details. Your innate Physique is special and requires a lot of top-grade Medicinal Pills for nourishment.]

Feng Yange endured until nightfall with a heart full of trepidation. Long Ze was truly an adult dragon; after accepting the Legacy, he was even more hot-blooded. Feng Yange couldn't think clearly at all and only fell into a deep sleep when dawn arrived.

Long Ze leaned down to kiss Feng Yange's cheek, then went out full of energy to find a place rich in Spiritual Qi to Cultivate.

Feng Yange woke up after sleeping for two hours. She discovered that her cultivation had improved again, reaching the threshold of the Peak of the mid-stage Spirit Emperor Realm. Moreover, her body felt absolutely no discomfort; this beast body pill had made her body even better.

[Host, as long as you Cultivate with one more inheritor, your Spiritual Root talent can break through 100% and become a Heaven-grade Spirit Root.]

"System, have all six of them received the Legacy, except for Mo Yuan and Jun Chen?"

[That is correct. As long as you Cultivate with any one of them, you can break through to become a Heaven-grade Spirit Root, and your cultivation speed will be even faster then.]

Feng Yange was instantly no longer tired. Thinking of the Heaven-grade Spirit Root talent, she wished she could drag someone in from outside immediately.

"Mistress, Xiao Linger is heading this way!"

Ling Feng rushed in to report. "I'm afraid our Barrier won't be able to stop her."

"If the Barrier can't stop her, then don't bother." Feng Yange got up and walked into the tent. When Bai Jiuxiao saw Feng Yange, he noticed that her complexion was ruddy today, even more beautiful than yesterday. As he looked at her, a blush spread across his handsome face.

How was this human even more attractive to him than yesterday?

"Little fox, you said you wanted me to marry you. Are you still willing now?"

Since Xiao Linger was pestering them relentlessly, she would take the first step and form a contract with Bai Jiuxiao, completely cutting off her Opportunity.

Bai Jiuxiao's eyes lit up. His body whooshed over to stand in front of Feng Yange, and he nodded. "I am willing!"

"My name is Feng Yange, a human from the Xuanling Continent, and I am nineteen years old. Are you willing to marry me and become my seventh husband?"

"I am willing!"

Bai Jiuxiao answered hurriedly, but the marriage stone did not appear.
