Chapter 3939: Expelling the Demon Emperor

“This…”

The woman froze for a moment, clearly not expecting him to say that. How could any Immortal in the world not be interested in a heavenly fox pearl?

But after a moment, she regained her composure and continued, “As long as you help me with one thing, my life will be yours from now on.

You can have my Physical Body, you can have my heavenly fox pearl, and I can even be your slave for life.”

Ye Bufan looked at her indifferently, “I’m not interested in you, nor am I interested in your heavenly fox pearl, so this deal is off.”

Although the heavenly fox pearl was a good item, he couldn’t bring himself to extract it from a living Sky Fox.

As for the woman, though extremely beautiful, he had no shortage of beauties by his side.

He usually tried to control himself as much as possible to avoid accumulating too many emotional debts, and it was even less likely that he would use this to make a deal with her.

“I…”

The woman’s jade lips parted slightly, wanting to say something but unable to. Things were not going as she had expected.

As an eleventh-rank Immortal Demon Beast, she had a premonition that this man was truly not interested in her, and was not faking it.

But now she was all alone, and besides this body, what other capital did she have?

After a moment of hesitation, she knelt to the ground with a thud, “Young Master, please, help me, save my Sky Fox Clan!”

Ye Bufan looked at the woman kneeling before him, his expression still calm.

“To ask for help, shouldn’t you first state your identity?”

“Oh! It was my oversight!”

The woman quickly said, “This humble one is the Ninth Elder of the Sky Fox Clan, named Fox Xiao Xian!”

“Get up.”

Ye Bufan reached out and helped her up. Fox Xiao Xian’s aura was extremely similar to that of the White-Clothed Woman, so there must be a deep connection between them.

If he could, helping her was not out of the question.

“Tell me, what do you need me to do?”

Tears welled up in Fox Xiao Xian’s eyes, “I want to ask Young Master for help to save my Sky Fox Clan!”

After she finished speaking, Ye Bufan looked surprised: “As far as I know, isn’t the Sky Fox Clan in Demon Emperor Heaven?

They are extremely powerful and protected by the Dragon Clan, so why would they need me to save them?”

He was truly bewildered, not knowing what she meant.

“The Dragon Clan, they are a bunch of shameless scoundrels, especially the Dragon Emperor, he is utterly despicable!”

Fox Xiao Xian said this through gritted teeth, showing how much she hated the Dragon Clan.

“This…”

Ye Bufan became even more confused. How was all this different from what Jing Buyun had said?

“As far as I know, your Sky Fox Clan and the Dragon Clan have always been on good terms, haven’t they?”

“That was before. Now my Sky Fox Clan has fallen to this state, all thanks to the Dragon Clan…”

Fox Xiao Xian’s eyes were filled with hatred as she recounted the events.

It turned out that the relationship between the Sky Fox Clan and the Dragon Clan had indeed been good before, but recently it had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

The current Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, named Long Ao, was arrogant and cruel by nature, but he had taken a fancy to the Saintess of the Sky Fox Clan and wanted to arrange a marriage between the two clans.

However, the Saintess, Hu Xiaobai, was extremely displeased with this marriage and directly refused. Later, under pressure from the Dragon Clan, she left the Upper Heaven Domain and disappeared without a trace.

This enraged Long Ao, who issued an ultimatum: if the Saintess did not return to complete the marriage within ten years, the Sky Fox Clan would be expelled from Demon Emperor Heaven.

Hearing this, Ye Bufan asked, “What kind of strength does the Dragon Clan possess? Can they control the entire Demon Emperor Heaven?”

“In ancient times, the three most powerful clans in Demon Emperor Heaven were the Dragon Clan, the Kirin Clan, and the Sky Fox Clan.

However, as time passed, the Kirin Clan has been in seclusion and rarely interferes in other matters.

The Sky Fox Clan’s strength has severely declined and has long lost its former glory.”

At this point, Fox Xiao Xian shook her head, her face full of disappointment, “Let’s not talk about what happened before. Just two months ago, the ten-year deadline given by the Dragon Clan expired, and there was still no news from the Saintess.

Long Ao was furious and directly expelled my Sky Fox Clan from Demon Emperor Heaven. Our Clan Chief disagreed and was directly severely injured by him.”

Jin Meier angrily said, “Bastard, how could he do that!”

Ye Bufan asked, “Then what? Where did you go? And how did you end up in the Star Plucking Tower?”

Fox Xiao Xian said, “We had originally received the ten-year ultimatum, and we were actually prepared to move out of Demon Emperor Heaven.”

At this point, a deep hatred flashed in Fox Xiao Xian’s eyes again, “But that despicable Dragon Clan had already spread this news, making other forces aware that we were going to be driven out of Demon Emperor Heaven.

Especially the Human Race, they had long coveted the beauty of my Sky Fox Clan and our heavenly fox pearls. Countless people with ulterior motives were already waiting to make their move.

And we didn’t know any of this. As soon as we arrived in the Extreme Prosperity Star Domain, we were attacked by countless powerful cultivators.”

Ye Bufan said, “A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Sky Fox Clan has declined, they should still have some basic strength, right? Dealing with some sneak attackers shouldn’t be a problem!”

“Those were not ordinary sneak attackers. There were dozens of Immortal Emperors among them, and the number of Immortal Venerables and Immortal Lords was countless.”

At this point, Fox Xiao Xian’s eyes filled with tears, “In that battle, the Clan Chief, who was already severely wounded, desperately self-destructed her heavenly fox pearl, severely injuring the strongest Immortal Emperor among them.

The entire Sky Fox Clan fought to the death. In the end, the Clan Chief died in battle, and the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder all died in battle. The rest of us barely managed to escape.”

Ye Bufan asked, “What about the others? Why are you the only one left now?”

Fox Xiao Xian said, “Things changed, and our previous migration plan definitely wouldn’t work.

Later, under the leadership of the Fourth Elder, we directly entered the Hunter's Fate Starfield. It’s much vaster here, making it easier to hide, and relatively speaking, there are fewer Human Race powerhouses.

When the Clan Chief traveled the world before, she once found a hidden independent space here. Its location was very secret.

At that time, she had stumbled upon it by chance and had never been there since.

This time, before her death, she told us the location, and we all hid in the independent space, which allowed us to escape the pursuit of those people.”

Ye Bufan said, “Since you’ve all hidden, why were you so eager to come out? And how did you fall into someone else’s hands?”

“I was forced to do this.”

Fox Xiao Xian shook her head, her face full of bitterness, “The Yao Race and the Human Race are different. You can Cultivate by relying on Spiritual Qi and live for a very long time, but we cannot.

In addition to absorbing the essence of the sun and moon from heaven and earth, we also need to eat. Without food supplements, we can’t last too long.

We had made some preparations back then, but all that food was on the Clan Chief and the Grand Elder. After the battle, it was all lost.

This time, when we arrived in the independent space, we had nothing. Seeing that we couldn’t hold on much longer, I came out of the space.

My purpose was twofold: first, to find food to support my clan members, and second, to gather information and see if the Saintess had returned.

But I never expected that shortly after I came out, I would fall into a Human Race trap, eventually be captured, and sent to the Star Plucking Tower auction.”

Ye Bufan’s heart suddenly stirred. He drew a portrait of the White-Clothed Woman in the Void Realm. “Who is your Saintess? Is it her?”
