Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1255 - 82: Formidable Enemy

In the eyes of the other Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses, no one knew what exactly Yu Shang had said to Hu Linglong; in any case, after listening, Hu Linglong’s expression changed drastically.

"Sister Yu Shang, if things are really as you say, I’ll treat you like my real sister from now on and respect you. The title of Heavenly Fox Saintess, I’ll just let you have it." She completely changed her previous attitude of rejecting Yu Shang and happily grabbed Yu Shang’s hand.

"Real sister? Heh, the way you treat your own cousin Hu Sheng—other people might not know, but I sure do. Just a snot‑nosed brat from the Jiuluan Clan; how could this Saintess even spare him a glance? In this world, the only truly good man is Ye Xiu." Yu Shang acted all warm on the surface, but in her heart she was full of contempt.

Hu Linglong, however, was secretly thinking to herself, you want to be Heavenly Fox Saintess? Fine, I’ll let you have the Saintess seat.

That damn Saintess title isn’t some priceless treasure anyway.

Hu Linglong had been born and raised in the Sky Fox Tribe; she knew everything that went on there like the back of her hand.

After the Sky Fox Tribe migrated to the Bahuang Continent, since most Clan Leaders were men, the status between men and women became extremely unequal. Although the Heavenly Fox Saintess was nominally grouped with the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader, the Elder Council, and the Great Witch Doctor as the Heavenly Fox Four Extremes, in reality, for all these years, she had been heavily constrained by the other three and basically had no real power.

This situation had already become extremely serious back when Hu Sheng was Saintess; the Heavenly Fox Saintess’s authority had been completely hollowed out. Hu Linglong had always fought hard to become Heavenly Fox Saintess, not only to satisfy her father Hu Qiansui’s vanity and her own, but also for another very important reason—because she had heard about the marriage pact between the Sky Fox Tribe and the Jiuluan Tribe.

Since Yu Shang had no interest in marrying Lu, she wouldn’t be a rival to her.

Hu Linglong figured that as long as she became the Young Clan Chief’s Wife of the Jiuluan Clan, she would definitely be the Jiuluan Clan’s Clan Leader’s Wife in the future. The Jiuluan Clan was an Upper Beast Clan, a world apart from the Sky Fox Tribe. No matter how you look at it, this deal could never be a loss for her.

The two women each had their own schemes, yet on the surface they were all harmony and smiles.

Qin Yue watched the two women trade barbs one moment and act like loving sisters the next, and couldn’t help feeling uneasy inside.

"You’re Qin Yue? Come here. You told us about the Inheritance Pillar Forest—that counts as a big contribution. In a bit, you’ll follow us into the Bahuang Mountain Range. On the way, you’d better behave yourself. If you dare have even the slightest bad thought, you’d better watch your life." Yu Shang slanted a look at Qin Yue, and when her gaze swept over Qin Yue’s chest, at the location of her heart, she shot her a cold glance.

Qin Yue felt as if she’d been seen through at a glance; her heart was pounding wildly.

This Youdu Yushang was truly no simple character. Even when facing the Pengyu Three Demons, she had never had this kind of feeling before.

The Candidate Saintesses of the Sky Fox Camp made some brief preparations, and around noon, they set off under Qin Yue’s lead, heading toward the depths of the mountain range.

Deeper in the Bahuang Mountain Range, the forest was actually much sparser than on the outer edges.

Ever since the Pengyu Three Demons discovered the existence of the Inheritance Pillar Forest, this whole area had been taken over by the Bimong Tribe and the Pengyu Tribe who’d rushed here.

Before they even reached the place of the Ancient Sealing, curses and shouting could already be heard along the mountain path.

"Silver Roc, stop being so unreasonable, this place was clearly discovered by our Bimong Clan first." A Bimong woman at least two meters tall stood blocking the entrance of the mountain path like a small hill.

Within the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, the Bimong Clan possessed giant bloodlines and was also the only Beast Clan whose outward appearance most closely resembled the Human Clan.

It was just that people of the Bimong Clan were generally much taller than humans.

A woman of one meter eighty, a man of one meter ninety—among the Bimong, they were considered short.

This Bimong giantess blocking the path, around two meters tall, was precisely Rita, one of the Descendants of Eight Desolates who had gone to the Dutian Beast Blood Realm earlier.

Behind Rita, three to four hundred Bimong Warriors were lined up, each of them holding long spears, glaring furiously at the sky.

In the sky, there were also three to four hundred Pengyu Warriors. They had all transformed into roc birds; leading them was a giant silver roc, its eyes sharp as blades and its talons like silver hooks.

"Rita, this Ancient Sealing clearly was discovered first by people of the Pengyu Clan. You only got here half a day earlier than us. How does that make it your discovery?" That silver roc was Silver Roc, the Young Clan Chief of the Pengyu Clan.

Half a month ago, he had heard from his clansmen that an Ancient Sealing had been found in the Bahuang Mountain Range, so he’d brought the clan’s warriors here, only to find that the Bimong Clan had beaten them to occupying the place.

Neither clan was willing to let the other enter the sealing first, and so they were stuck in this stalemate.

"Tch, Silver Roc, the Pengyu Three Demons were long ago kicked out of your tribe, and you still dare claim they’re People of Pengyu Clan. If you’ve got the guts, come down from the sky and fight me three hundred rounds. Whoever wins goes in first!" Rita cursed furiously.

Crazy woman—only an idiot would fight her.

The Bimong Clan was the branch on land whose Qi Power was second only to the Elephant Clan Demon Beasts.

Silver Roc felt a chill in his heart. The Bimong Clan’s Qi Power was astonishing, and their bodies were incredibly tough. He’d heard that Rita had already fused a portion of the Bimong King Relics. She’d been frighteningly strong to begin with; if he really fought her on the ground, wouldn’t he just be pounded into a meat patty by Rita?

Yin Peng of course refused to come down for a real head‑on fight. Because of that, Rita cursed even more viciously, throwing out all kinds of lines like, "Are you even a man? Missing a certain part down there, are you?"

As the Young Clan Chief, Silver Roc had never suffered such humiliation.

"Rita, you ugly woman, no wonder Zi hides every time he sees you. A hideous woman from a Middle-level Beast Clan actually dares to pine after a Young Clan Chief from an Upper Beast Clan. You’re nothing but a toad lusting after swan meat." Silver Roc flapped his wings angrily, mocking her aloud.

Among the few Descendants of Eight Desolates who’d grown up together since childhood, Rita of the Bimong Clan secretly loved Zi of the Di Clan, while Hu Linglong of the Fox Clan secretly loved Lu—these things were mutually known among the Descendants of Eight Desolates.

Hu Linglong was beautiful; her secret crush on Lu had even drawn the envy of several other Descendants of Eight Desolate Beast.

But it was different for Rita of the Bimong Clan. She was taller than most male Eight Desolate Beast, her skin was rough and dark, and most importantly, her nose looked like that of a wild boar.

For such an unbelievably ugly woman to fall for someone, fine—but to actually fall for Zi, that handsome man of the Di Clan.

The Di Clan, like the Sky Fox Tribe, produced many beauties and handsome men; and the Di Clan’s status was even higher than that of the Sky Fox Tribe, for the Di Clan was an Upper Beast Clan among the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.

Rita’s situation had always been a running joke among the Descendants of Eight Desolates.

Silver Roc’s mockery set off shrill laughter from all the Roc Feather Clan Warriors behind him.

To Rita and the other Bimong Warriors, that laughter was extremely mocking.
