Chapter 275 161, even more outrageous than a blind cat running into a dead mouse
"Your Highness, you must not release that Fox Demon!"
The exclamation sliced through the sky like a sharp blade, carrying a kind of magical power that shook the heartstrings.
Xu Yuan could sense it, carrying the same kind of mana fluctuations as the Heart Clarity Spell.
It seemed that the person arriving must have felt enchanted and thus was reminding him.
However, when the Words of Pure Heart reached his ears, he felt an inexplicable displeasure arise within him as if he found it an insult to himself.
Xu Yuan turned his head to look at the newcomer.
He saw a celestial maiden clad in a white gauzy garment, striding forward from afar, her face etched with urgency.
Who was she?
Xu Yuan quietly withdrew his hand, looking up at her with a faint gaze, remaining silent.
The celestial maiden quickly approached the perimeter of the Stone Pure Yang Harmony, clearly not daring to enter, she anxiously called out from outside.
"Your Highness, you absolutely must not release the Demon Fox, if she were to return to life, it would be an unprecedented calamity for us all."
Xu Yuan did not turn around, he looked down and said indifferently, "Are you teaching me how to handle matters?"

Upon hearing his voice, the celestial maiden's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly knelt to beg for mercy, "This servant dares not."
It was then that she realized what she had done and widened her eyes in panic, kowtowing in fear, "In my anxiety, I had no choice but to offend Your Highness. Please forgive me, this servant had no such intention, there was absolutely no distrust towards Your Highness."
Are you... that afraid of me?
Xu Yuan felt, why did he not seem like a good person?
He was about to speak.
But from the void beside them, a cold voice interjected, "Using an Immortal Curse on His Highness is a grave disrespect, His Highness's cultivation is peerless, and since the Demon Fox was captured by His Highness's own hand, how could she possibly delude him? I see, you must be a spy from the demon race, that Heart Clarity Spell must also contain a secret scheme."
Xu Yuan was stunned, his heart thumping wildly, he had not noticed someone had been following him all along, just as he was about to say that was an exaggeration.
Then, the celestial maiden burst into a long laugh, "I did not expect to be exposed by such a trivial matter, you inhabitants of the Immortal Realm are all mad, that much is certainly true."
Fucking hell, she really was a spy?
This was more outrageous than a blind cat running into a dead rat!
Xu Yuan's hand that had been reaching out suddenly froze in mid-air, unsure of what to say now.
Was it really so easy to trick a spy into revealing herself?
"Such an insignificant creature is not worthy of Your Highness's noble effort; your subordinate can deal with this matter."
The woman hidden in the void said lightly.
The next moment, a flash of thunder passed.
Xu Yuan did not even manage to see how she made her move when the celestial maiden in gauzy garments suddenly stiffened, her neck askew, her gaze empty, and with her death, the transformation spell also faded, revealing black fur and a tail.
Why so decisive?
Xu Yuan glanced with his peripheral vision at the white fox lying on the stone platform. It seemed startled by the recent events, snuggling continuously into his embrace while also curling up.
This creature, truly clumsy.
Xu Yuan became even more certain of her identity.
It was only her who, upon hearing that she was bound here by him, continued to lean into his embrace.
If it were someone else, like Lin Qingque or Tian Liuli, they would probably suspect that the woman hidden in the shadows was lying, trying to drive a wedge between them.
But without understanding the true nature of what had happened, even if they still trusted Xu Yuan, they wouldn't act like this.
After all, doing so could also alert the woman lurking in the shadows.
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then casually as if by chance, he asked, "You seem to have a lot of trust in me."
After all, the conversation he just had with Tao Yaoyao was likely overheard by her.
If she was silent until now, that meant she still trusted him.
"Naturally, Your Highness's divine might has been forged through countless years of battle. In the Immortal Realm, no one can doubt Your Highness. If there is someone who does, that person is a spy."
The woman's voice did not waver at all.
"Hmm, come out and speak."
Xu Yuan said carelessly.
"Yes."
The woman in the void seemed startled for a moment, then responded, "Yes."
Suddenly, ripples pulsated in the void,
a cool and distant figure emerged, stepping lightly.
When Xu Yuan saw her, he involuntarily paused.
It wasn't because he was surprised by her stunning, ethereal beauty.
After all, he had seen many beauties, not to mention Tao Yaoyao who lay beneath his hand, surpassing all other beauty. Whether it was the flawless reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor, Tian Liuli, or the proud and aloof Liu Ruoxue, or even the cool and naive Lin Qingque, their beauty was comparable to hers. How could her beauty alone make him pause?
However, the reason he did pause was indeed related to her appearance.@@novelbin@@
Because she was none other than the woman he had seen battling the Flame Emperor in the image on the Thunderfire Sword.
"Rem, at your service, Your Highness."
Rem knelt gracefully, her cool face filled with fervor.
"Your Highness, have you summoned me to entrust me with an important task?"
"Not really, just keep me company for a chat."
What do you think?
