NOVEL WEB Chapter 650: Who is the robber?
---
No matter what, it was just a chance acquaintance, and Gu Heng had no intention of interfering in other people's private affairs.
Looking at Mu Qingyu's expression, it didn't seem like she was in trouble. Rather, she seemed to be part of the trouble...
Not long after the little fox girl left, gusts of cold wind blew outside the window again. This time, a man in a green robe with a cold face entered the private room, exuding a cold and solemn aura.
Gu Heng raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the other person also had a fox tail behind him.
Another fox clan.
"What's up?"
Gu Heng drank calmly.
"Did you see a fox girl just now?" asked the green-robed fox.
"Yes, she ate all the food and drinks I ordered, and then ran away." Gu Heng spread out his hands, and the table full of empty plates showed his honesty.
The green-robed fox frowned and then quickly left.
Time was precious as it passed.
Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Gu Heng was only certain now that the fox lady, Mu Qingyu, was probably a lady from the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan, who had run away for some unknown reason and was being "hunted down."
No matter why she was being chased, it was best not to encounter it again.
Gu Heng and her were even. She told him that a demon wanted to kill him, and he responded by giving her a table of sumptuous dishes. No one owed anyone anything.
Next, it was time to go.
Now that he had the idea of going to Dusk Moon City to watch the forging competition, it was time to get started!
…
Above Yaoyun City.
A black-robed fox figure, exuding overwhelming pressure, stood there, while another figure came from below with the wind.
"How about it?"
"He was just an ordinary human being. He posed no threat. The princess ate some food at his place and then left," the green-robed fox clan reported back.
"The princess's aura has disappeared again. This is going to be difficult."
The black-robed fox tribe sounded worried. "The 'Fox Emperor True Spirit' in the county lord's body could revive at any time, but at this critical moment, she didn't stay in the ancestral land to meditate. Instead, she ran out without permission, making the two of us chase her endlessly. This is really annoying!"
As two great fox demons who were "entrusted with important tasks," they could have enjoyed quiet cultivation in the tribe, but the most precious little princess of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox tribe had run away!
If she runs away, they had to find her.
But this was already very troublesome. After all, if you hold the treasure in your mouth and are afraid it will melt, if you're determined not to take it back, then even if you use force, something bad will definitely happen. If anyone is injured, no one will end up well.
Naturally, no one wanted to take on this thankless job.
But it happened to them.
All they could do was complain that misery always found the unlucky ones randomly.
"Okay, stop complaining. We still have to keep looking. Otherwise, how are we going to explain to the clan leader?"
The green-robed fox advised in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed fox took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed his depression, and nodded in agreement.
"...Tell me the truth, do you think the reason the princess ran out this time is related to what the clan leader announced?"
The black-robed fox couldn't sit still, so they naturally started chattering.
The green-robed fox clan paused. "It must be related."
At this critical juncture, the little princess suddenly ran away. In fact, everyone knew the reason clearly. It was nothing more than that the Nine-tailed Immortal had announced the marriage between the little princess and the only grandson of the White Feather Immortal.
And she didn't like her future husband.
This marriage was actually not unexpected. It was simply a powerful alliance between the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Clan and the Baiyu Medicine Palace lineage.
The grandson of the Immortal Baiyu was also an extremely talented alchemist with an unlimited future.
As for why the little princess was getting married...
This matter was no secret within the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan. It was simply that the little princess was born special, and in order to allow her to grow up safely and realize her talents, the Nine-tailed Immortal owed a lot of favors to the White Feather Immortal, the "number one alchemist in the Little Xuantian Realm."
The debt of favor owed by an alchemist is usually the hardest to repay.
However, the most useful and repayable "talent" of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan has always been their Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang!
It was like a kind of irony and sin sent down by God, making it impossible for the entire fox clan to change this innate mark no matter how powerful they became.
"Let's continue looking. If the little princess is dissatisfied, she can only report it to the clan leader."
The green-robed fox sighed, his tone full of melancholy.
"That's true. It's not our turn to make decisions on matters like this." The black-robed fox also sighed.
They were both great demons of the fox clan, and of course, they hoped the clan would prosper, but if they had to choose a side... it would be too difficult for them.
There was no question of who was more right in this matter.
It was not the turn of these two unlucky foxes, sent out to capture the little princess, to discuss it.
…
Following the map given by the waiter at the bear tribe inn, Gu Heng walked out of Yaoyun City and along the mountain avenue.
If he continued in this direction, he would probably pass through seven or eight more cities on the way and eventually reach Muyue City. All in all, it was definitely not a short journey.
Even with the boots of speed, it would take at least two or three days to get there.
It's a pity that he didn't ask Mu Qingyu when the forging competition would start. If he missed this opportunity to observe, he might not be able to encounter it again in the future.
He hadn't taken out his speed boots yet.
After walking for half an hour, Gu Heng finally got what he wanted.
Four figures suddenly jumped out from the roadside, all of them exuding an ill-intentioned aura. The leader was, naturally, the waiter from the restaurant!
"I thought you guys weren't going to rob me anymore."
Gu Heng silently put away the map.
"Oh? You actually know what we're going to do?"
The waiter's expression was completely different from before. Now his eyes were filled with scarlet blood, as if he had seen delicious raw food.
"A kind-hearted little fox girl reminded me, but it doesn't matter if she didn't remind me."
Gu Heng silently took out the Yanling knife.
"You four, I know it with just one look—you are not qualified to rob me!"
Just a moment.
The "Omniscient Perspective" skill gave four responses.
All of them were "Threat Level: Equivalent to None!"
The other party's malicious intentions were so obvious that Gu Heng didn't even have to guess what this "equivalent to nothing" meant.
They won't be able to defeat him!
Now let's see who robs whom!
