Jinfeng Forest.

Luo Xiu stood in the refreshing pool, looking down at the nine Blood Ban Seals on his chest with a frustrated expression.

Lin Tong offered some ambiguous consolation, "But overall, that old fox has already done something remarkable. At least she organized all the 'Blood Ban Power' the Blood Ban Technique left in your body and even made the curse script manifest."

"As long as these nine Blood Ban Seals are broken one by one, Big Brother, you will be able to completely remove the Blood Ban Technique."

Luo Xiu raised his hand, clenched his teeth, and released a trace of green Spiritual Power from his palm. He tried to release more, but he could clearly feel nine shackles within his body hindering him. No matter what he did, he could not break through them. He tried for a long time, breaking out into a profuse sweat, but his efforts were fruitless, and he had to give up.

"The Spiritual Power I can release now, the strength I can exert, should only be equivalent to the Gathering Spirit Realm."

Lin Tong said, "You've recovered your cultivation to the Gathering Spirit Realm, and you've cultivated Reaper's Art to the Gathering Spirit Realm as well. That means you can now exert the strength of two Gathering Spirit Realm cultivators combined. You could even fight a Core Formation Realm cultivator and remain undefeated!"

"Sigh!"

"I'll have to take it slowly."

Luo Xiu sighed deeply, climbed out of the pool, and got dressed.

...

Time flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, another five days had passed. Luo Xiu had been on Mount Green Hills for ten days, but Su Shenyun still hadn't awakened.

Luo Xiu planned to wait for Su Shenyun to wake up so he could say goodbye. Then, he would go to Zhangwei Mountain to find Dou Dou and Chi Sha before heading to the bottom of the sea.

That day, with nothing to do, Luo Xiu squatted on the side of the street, watching the Fox Clan girls pass by. The Fox Town at the base of Mount Green Hills was bustling and prosperous, but it had a completely different style from the modern towns of the outside world. The attire of these Fox Clan ladies was bold and sexy—short skirts and shorts paired with long socks, giving them an exotic beauty. The fox tails they all had behind them added a touch of vivacity.

Luo Xiu squatted by the street for a long time, his eyes feasting on the sights.

Suddenly, a pair of slender white legs appeared before his eyes, obstructing his view. The legs were smooth and delicate, wrapped in translucent stockings so thin that not even a pore could be seen. They were as flawless as white jade, making one desperately want to reach out and touch them. Looking down, he saw her exquisite feet, with veins faintly visible, resting in a pair of crystal high heels with a distinct Fox Clan style.

Luo Xiu couldn't help but marvel. Those aren't legs, he thought, they're the very waters of the Seine in spring.

He looked up, wanting to see who these legs belonged to, but his view was completely obstructed by a pair of magnificent peaks, preventing him from seeing the owner's face from his angle. However, the faint, unique fragrance allowed him to guess who the newcomer was. It was the body fragrance unique to someone with an Innate Allure Bone.

"You're awake?"

"Are the beauties here to your liking?"

Luo Xiu laughed heartily. "Coming to Mount Green Hills and not looking at the Fox Demon ladies would be a wasted trip."

As he spoke, he braced his hands on his knees to stand up, only to freeze in place. Before him was an exceptionally beautiful face, yet it was not the one he remembered.

"Su Fox, are you in disguise?"

Su Shenyun smiled faintly and, holding the hem of her skirt, twirled in front of him. The swaying of her short skirt and her fragrant, swirling hair left Luo Xiu utterly mesmerized.

She's too beautiful. A true Fox Fairy descended to earth!

Even though Luo Xiu had been craving a woman for ten days, at that moment, he didn't have a single impure thought about her.

Su Shenyun said, "After my bloodline fully awakened, my appearance also changed."

The current Su Shenyun looked like a girl in her late teens. But her fiery figure still radiated a mature allure. Luo Xiu swallowed and reached out to touch her face. He felt that Su Shenyun's current appearance bore some resemblance to the Pink Emperor from the paintings, but their auras were different. The Pink Emperor exuded a coldness that made people dare not approach. Su Shenyun, however, gave off a feeling that was both sweet and seductive—truly Su Daji incarnate!

Su Shenyun looped her arm through Luo Xiu's, her eyes filled with affection. "Let's go, honey. Stop looking. If there's something you want to see, I'll wear it for you when we get back."

Sensing her cultivation aura, Luo Xiu remarked, "You've really changed a lot since your bloodline completely awakened."

Su Shenyun smiled lightly. "It's like being reborn, like I have a new body." With a mysterious smile, she lowered her voice and added, "Even the membrane is back, you know."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu's face flushed red with excitement.

"I think that's just extra. It will only affect your cultivation. Why don't we find a place and... break it?"

"That definitely won't do." Su Shenyun rolled her eyes, let go of Luo Xiu, and strode away. "I'm a pure and chaste Fox Fairy now. I can't just let any man touch me."

At her words, Luo Xiu's shoulders slumped in disappointment.

"Alright, I really can't give it to you now. It would affect the foundation of my demon bloodline. Can my treasure wait a little longer?"

Luo Xiu shrugged. "It's not like I'm desperate for it."

Su Shenyun went back and hooked her arm in his. "I know you've been holding back for a long time. Come on, I'll help you take care of it."

"I thought you said no?"

"Nonsense. Can't we use other places?"

Luo Xiu smirked. "You really know how to have fun."

...

「Elder Hall」

Several elders were discussing important clan matters.

"The King's return is a great fortune for our Fox Clan. Have you noticed? The King's bloodline foundation is unprecedentedly robust, completely on par with our clan's Pink Emperor!"

"However, regarding the King and that human youth named Chen Shuisheng... I think we need to prevent that situation from developing."

"Indeed. For now, at least, falling into a romance will have a fatal impact on the King's cultivation."

"Hmph! Our King is the future Great Emperor of our clan. How could a mere human youth possibly be worthy of her?"

...

「Fox King Hall」

Inside the Fox King's bedroom, Luo Xiu was slumped in a chair, gasping for air, seemingly drained of all strength.

Nearby, Su Shenyun was bent over, furiously brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, occasionally gagging. That vintage brew of Luo Xiu's was almost overwhelmingly potent; she had nearly passed out just moments ago.

A short time later, after finishing brushing her teeth, Su Shenyun cast a resentful glance at Luo Xiu. "Satisfied now?"

Luo Xiu gave an awkward smile and changed the subject. "By the way, are those fox ears on your head real or fake?"

"Fake. They're hair accessories," Su Shenyun chuckled. "When a Fox Demon cultivates a human form, their ears disappear. So, they started wearing hair accessories to replicate them, and over time, it became a tradition for the Fox Clan."

"Ah, that explains why you didn't feel anything when I pinched them so hard just now."

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Great King, the elders are waiting for you in the main hall. They said there are urgent matters to discuss," Yue Ya's voice came from outside.

Su Shenyun gave Luo Xiu a mischievous look. "Honey, I'll go ahead. You wait here for me. Rest up and conserve your energy, because I'll be back to deal with you later."

Shortly after Su Shenyun left, Yue Ya found Luo Xiu, looking as if she wanted to say something but was hesitating.

"Uh... you..." she began.

"If you have something to say, just spit it out," he prompted.

Yue Ya sighed and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

Luo Xiu's heart sank. He realized she was effectively telling him to leave.

With her back to Luo Xiu, Yue Ya said, "I haven't told the elders about you and the Great King, but they aren't fools. They can naturally see what's going on between you two."

Luo Xiu asked, "So?"

Yue Ya stated bluntly, "The Great King is our clan's future and our second Pink Emperor. The elders don't want you to affect her cultivation."

"You are strong and possess the Fortune-Forming Power, your future is limitless. But for now... you aren't worthy of the Great King. At the very least, you can't command the respect of those elders."

She turned to face him and added, "Of course, I haven't told anyone that you possess the Fortune-Forming Power."

"If the elders were to find out, you might never be able to leave Mount Green Hills. They would exploit you mercilessly."

"In any case, I personally hope you'll come back for the Great King when you're powerful enough to shut everyone up. Then, no one will be able to stand in your way."
