Chapter 1399: Eight-Tailed Bloodline
Xiang Shaoyun's finger was akin to a pillar capable of supporting the sky, so powerful that it could cause one's hair to stand on end. The sovereign-grade scimitar had its scimitar ray shattered with one jab. Even the blade cracked and broke into pieces. Hu You was stunned. Was a feat like this even possible?
"What a shitty blade," said Xiang Shaoyun as he gave Hu You his middle finger with a look of contempt.
Hu You stared at the incredibly young man before him with disbelief. When he saw the joy in Hu Meihui's eyes, fury flooded his heart. He roared, "You think nobody can defeat you just because you have a strong body? Witness my strength!"
With a roar, six tails manifested behind him and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun. The demonic foxes were known for their speed. As Hu You's tail attack advanced with the speed of a peak Sovereign, he clawed at Xiang Shaoyun, sending sharp fox claws at his face, aiming to tear Xiang Shaoyun's handsome face apart.
"Watch out!" said Hu Meihui anxiously.
A confident smile formed on Xiang Shaoyun's face as he pointed with his finger yet again. The finger seemed slow yet fast, landing on Hu You's claws.
"Ahhh!"
With a miserable wail, a figure was sent flying away, leaving a trail of blood in the air. Both of Hu You's arms had been crippled by a single jab of Xiang Shaoyun's finger. They were at completely different levels, and there was no comparing the two. Hu Meihui had long known that Xiang Shaoyun was strong. But after several years, he seemed to have advanced much more than she had imagined.
"You're so strong," praised Hu Meihui with admiration.
"How can I be your man if I'm not strong?" said Xiang Shaoyun in a domineering manner.
Since he had conquered the fox princess, as a man, he naturally had to take responsibility for his action.
"Don't forget your words. I won't leave you ever again," said Hu Meihui as her eyes rippled with emotion.
Everyone said that each fox lady was a temptress, but when a fox lady's heart was conquered by a man, she would show complete devotion to that man.
"Sure, so long as you don't mind that I'm a devil," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
"So what if you're a devil? I like you as a person," said Hu Meihui in an uncaring manner.
As a demon, Hu Meihui might not pay much attention to the affairs of humans. However, she still knew that humans and devils could never be together. If Xiang Shaoyun was really a devil, he would no longer be able to stay with humans. However, she did not care since she wasn't a human either.
Xiang Shaoyun nodded before raising his head and looking ahead. A large number of demonic foxes were heading their way.
"My clan members are here," said Hu Meihui.
She did not separate herself from Xiang Shaoyun. Instead, she remained in his arms as she waited for them to arrive. A total of 45 demonic foxes had arrived, led by a peak Demon Sovereign. The others were all Demon Sovereigns and Demon Emperors.
After all, during the short battle between Xiang Shaoyun and Hu You, the shockwaves from their fight had spread in all directions. Thus, the group charged with scouting the area couldn't be too weak.
"Prince," the group exclaimed in alarm when they saw Hu You seriously injured.
The only reason Hu You was still alive was because Xiang Shaoyun had held back. For Hu Meihui's sake, he had decided to only cripple Hu You's arms.
"Kill him!" commanded Hu You, who was filled with hatred for Xiang Shaoyun.
At this time, Hu Meihui left Xiang Shaoyun's embrace and pulled him toward the group. When she arrived before them, she said, "Hu You, stop being stubborn, or I won't mind killing you with my own hands."
As she said that, she released her bloodline power. The aura of an eight-tailed fox covered the area, suppressing the bloodline of all the other demonic foxes. Greatly alarmed, they all dropped to their knees and said, "We greet the princess."
Even Hu You, badly injured, was having difficulty breathing due to the suppression. His final bit of confidence was shattered, and he lowered his head in shame and said, "Hu You admits his mistake."
As demonic beasts, the demonic foxes attached great importance to bloodline inheritance. Now that Hu Meihui had become an eight-tailed fox, she had truly reverted her bloodline to that of their ancestors. Her status among the demonic foxes would rise to a brand new level.
At this time, several figures arrived from the demonic foxes' headquarters. Each of them radiated a powerful aura. These were the demonic foxes' elders. Even Hu Meihui's father, Hu Detian, was among them.
Hu Detian was a handsome middle-aged man with a head of white hair. Dressed in white attire, he looked carefree and confident. The moment his gaze landed on Hu Meihui, he noticed her change. Joy covered his eyes as he said, "Meihui, did your bloodline evolve?"
Hu Meihui nodded and said, "Yes, Father. I now possess the eight-tailed bloodline."
Hu Detian laughed and said, "Haha, excellent. The moment you enter the Saint Realm, you will definitely be able to recover our supreme bloodline, the nine-tailed bloodline. That will be the time for the demonic foxes to rise in power!"
The elders behind him also had gratified looks on their faces. It had been thousands of years since an eight-tailed bloodline appeared among them. That was why the demonic foxes had ultimately decided to hide in this mountain range.
Someone with an eight-tailed bloodline stood a chance to even enter the God Realm. Upon gaining the nine-tailed bloodline, one could forge a body with nine lives, becoming one of the strongest existences in the world.
"By the way, what happened?" asked Hu Detian when he looked at Xiang Shaoyun and the injured Hu You.
For some reason, he found himself incapable of seeing through Xiang Shaoyun, as though this young man wielded a power that even he needed to be afraid of.
"This is the man I have acknowledged, Xiang Shaoyun. He was the one who helped me achieve the eight-tailed bloodline," introduced Hu Meihui. As for Hu You, she completely ignored him.
"Oh, very few men can earn my daughter's respect. However, he is not our fellow clansman," said Hu Detian with astonishment.
"Xiang Shaoyun greets you, Father-in-Law. Meihui is now my woman. I hope we can have your blessings," said Xiang Shaoyun in a straightforward manner.
He decided to stick to his true heart, acting like how an overlord should be.
