Chapter 333 Deception
In the dining hall, Hu Yiyi\'s arrival successfully attracted the attention of the other fox race members.
Right now, the fox race was in the midst of a huge celebration. The feeling of escaping with one\'s life from the brink of destruction was simply exhilarating.
Hu Yiyi had now become the heroine of the fox race, and every member of the fox race bowed deeply in gratitude to her.
Hu Yiyi was really in an awkward situation. She did not feel worthy of such respect. She had even tried to activate the flame again, but to no avail.
When she found Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang, they were eating steamed buns like crazy. Hanjiang in particular seemed to have an unbelievable obsession with steamed buns.
Yuchi also stood up slightly and bowed to Hu Yiyi
"Saintess."
Yue Hanjiang waved two buns in the air in her direction as well.
After a short conversation, Hu Yiyi asked Yue Hanjiang, "What\'s your relationship with him?"
"I\'m Brother Yuchi\'s younger sister," Yue Hanjiang replied.
His younger sister.
So it was like this?
As Hu Yiyi was preparing to ask another question, Hanjiang continued, "First of all, I\'m sorry. My brother and I are not members of the fox race."
"The two of us just happened to pass by this place. About a year ago, we were the two people your guards encountered on the mountain. My brother just happens to know a trick or two, which is why he can disguise himself so well."
"Secondly, we really don\'t have any ill intentions towards the fox race. We\'re just traveling to sightsee, and we\'ll be leaving once we\'ve seen everything around here."
"We won\'t disturb the peace of the fox race."
Yue Hanjiang said these words because she knew that her master wanted to avoid being entangled with the fox race, which was also why he had chosen not to act personally.
If he did not reveal himself to be their savior, then he could go about his business in peace.
After that, Hu Yiyi asked a few more questions, which Yue Hanjiang answered straightforwardly. She had memorized her lines by heart.
They even went so far as to thank Hu Yiyi for saving them, and also expressed their respect for her strength.
"So it was like this."
"Then, the two of you can rest in our city for a while before leaving."
After Hu Yiyi finished speaking, she finally understood the entire situation.
She immediately recalled Yuchi\'s appearance when he was in her arms.
Although she was a little embarrassed by it, the man must have been scared out of his wits at that time, so she was probably his only pillar of support.
In any case, she would let bygones be bygones.
Yue Hanjiang continued to gobble down steamed buns with a smile. She glanced at Yuchi, who was sitting next to her in silence.
The master and disciple smiled.
Everything was said without words.
Sometimes, this sort of harmless deception could save both sides a lot of time. In the end, the main objective was achieved, which was that the fox race was safe.
With time, they would realize what had truly happened, or at least that was what Yue Hanjiang thought.
…
"I don\'t even know why they started a conflict with the dragon-phoenix race! This damned fox race… Shouldn\'t they be hiding beside the Ancient God Sea obediently? How could this damned fox race be discovered there?"
In the sky.
An old fox was sitting upright on a cloud. Next to the cloud, there was a fox race elder who had arrived to report the situation to him.
It had been half a month since the dragon-phoenix race was exterminated, but the elder had been dispatched before that, and had finally reached the ancestor\'s residence.
This old fox was called Hu Guhai. His fur was especially long, and strikingly green.
Hu Guhai was feeling rather frustrated.
He treated the fox race like livestock, but it seemed that these livestock had wandered into trouble of their own accord.
How did they end up encountering the dragon-phoenix race at the Ancient God Sea? That place was in the middle of nowhere!
From this perspective, it had to be the doing of the dragon-phoenix race. What was wrong with their heads to have come all the way to a desolate place like the Ancient God Sea?
Furthermore, why did they mess with his private property?
He was pissed.
"If the fox race is gone by the time I get back, I\'ll beat all of you into submission and make you my new livestock!"
Hu Guhai\'s expression grew colder and colder. He was actually a half-step Dao heart realm cultivator!
