Chapter 1835: Chapter 1831: Huyue Who Doesn’t Fail at Critical Moments (Part 1)
At the same time, within the Dragon Secret Realm, Huyue and Hu Ying both sensed something, their bodies trembled, and then they exchanged a shocked glance.
"It’s the Third Elder!"
After saying this, cold sweat appeared on Huyue’s forehead, and his complexion turned ugly as he spoke with great difficulty.
"This is terrible, how could she be the one coming?"
His tone was filled with despair.
Xue An saw this and couldn’t help but ask, "Is it Hu Wan who is coming?"
Huyue nodded in deep frustration.
Xue An sighed lightly, then sympathetically patted Huyue’s shoulder.
"Brother, you had better pray for yourself!"
The reason he said this was that Xue An also knew this Third Elder Hu Wan and knew that this woman was not easy to deal with.
In the Qingqiu Fox Country, when it comes to cultivation level and strength, she is second only to the Great Elder and is an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox.
But this is not the main point; the main point is that this woman’s character is extremely eccentric and unpredictable, impossible to fathom with common sense.
Once she’s in a bad mood, it doesn’t matter who you are, she’ll attack you without fail.
So even Huyue, who is the future heir of the Qingqiu Fox Country, must bow obediently when facing the Third Elder, not daring to make trouble.
This is the reason for Xue An’s sympathetic expression towards Huyue.
Once she’s involved, things become increasingly complicated.
At this moment, after pondering for a moment with his head down, Huyue suddenly raised his head, looking at Xue An with a face full of earnest appeal.
"Old Xue, this old hag is really formidable. I’d better take Ah Rou and retreat for now, I’ll leave this to you!"
Saying this, he grabbed Ah Rou and turned to leave.
Hu Ying called out worriedly, "Brother, are you going to leave with sister-in-law just like that?"
"Nonsense, if we don’t leave now it’ll be too late, that old hag is really tough, I don’t want to mess with her!" Huyue said to himself.
Just as he was about to break the void and leave, several beams of light suddenly flew from the sky, accompanied by a playful female voice.
"Xiao Ye Zi, who did you call an old hag just now?"
These words made Huyue instantly freeze on the spot.
Simultaneously, these beams of light flashed by, easily breaking through the Dragon Clan’s defenses and arrived before the crowd.
When the light faded, it revealed Third Elder Hu Wan and her group of subordinates.
Seeing her, Hu Ying trembled slightly, then stepped forward and said obediently, "Third Elder!"
Third Elder Hu Wan looked at Hu Ying several times, her sharp gaze gradually softened, and finally nodded.
"Didn’t expect you, Xiao Ying, to be here too, it seems my harvest this time is not small!"
Hu Ying dared not speak, only obediently lowered her head and stood aside.
Then Hu Wan looked at Xue An, smiling brightly as she spoke, "I heard that Lord Red Lotus has returned, and meeting you proves it true, furthermore, you’ve regained the Immortal King’s status in such a short time, truly admirable!"
Xue An smirked slightly and nodded, "Thank you! Long time no see, the Third Elder’s charm exceeds even the past!"
"Oh my, Lord Red Lotus is still so good at flattering, but I’ve always thought so too!" Hu Wan giggled, covering her mouth, a natural display of charm enough to drive anyone of weaker will mad.
Then Hu Wan turned to look at Huyue, who had his back to her, teasingly saying, "Xiao Ye Zi, what did you call me just now? An old hag? Am I that old?"
Although she was smiling, her eyes were cold.
No woman can tolerate being called old, even a near Immortal Emperor can’t escape this taboo.
Upon hearing this, Huyue trembled, then turned around with difficulty and forced a smile uglier than crying.
"Th... Third Elder, I was just joking with you! How could you be old? You’re not old at all, you even look younger than me."
Hu Wan nodded satisfied, "That’s better, but what are you doing now? Trying to escape?"
"Hahaha, how could I escape? I sensed your arrival and was just about to welcome you!" Huyue forced a smile.
But Hu Wan was unimpressed; she looked calmly at Huyue, finally resting her gaze on Ah Rou, especially noticing their linked hands. Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Huyue noticed this, instinctively wanting to let go, but then recalled something, not only did he not let go, but slightly turned his body, shielding Ah Rou behind him.
"Xiao Ye Zi, who is she?" Hu Wan asked indifferently.
Huyue was silent for a moment, then solemnly declared, "She’s my woman!"
"Your woman?" Hu Wan was slightly stunned, and then burst into a giggling laughter as if hearing the biggest joke.
As she laughed, the little fox on her shoulder looked at Ah Rou with great curiosity.
After a moment, her laughter faded, and Hu Wan coldly said, "Huyue, I hope you clarify your status, you are a blood heir of the Heavenly Fox, the future king of Qingqiu Fox Country, your woman must be of the strongest Demon Race."
"As for this woman..." Hu Wan turned her head indifferently, "I can pretend not to see this time, but you must handle her properly, leave no future trouble, understand?"
These words made Ah Rou’s face instantly turn pale as paper.
Huyue noticed this, gently squeezed her hand, signaling her not to fear, then turned to Hu Wan with a serious expression, shaking his head.
"Third Elder, there’s something I hope you understand, she is my woman, now, and always will be, I have no interest in seeking a powerful Demon Race as a woman."
Hu Wan’s expression turned cold, "Huyue, I repeat, clarify your status, you are the future king of Qingqiu Fox Country..."
Before she could finish, Huyue straightforwardly said, "If being king means sacrificing my woman, then I rather not be king!"
Upon hearing this, sister Hu Ying couldn’t help but cheer inwardly.
Her brother, usually so lazily carefree, actually stood firm at crucial moments, daring to confront the Third Elder directly, truly stubborn!
Indeed.
Hu Wan’s face instantly turned steely, and the fox on her shoulder began to snarl viciously at Huyue.
"For a mere mortal woman, you dare to speak such words, believe it or not, I could end her life right now?"
Huyue was unfazed, his eyes glimmered coldly, "You can try it!"
"I, Huyue, swear here and now, anyone who dares touch a hair on her head, shall be destroyed!"
