Chapter 170 Assassination
In Beast King City, the night is as dark as ink.

Bai Ye stood on the terrace high above the palace, his face gloomy, his eyes narrowed as he stared at a certain spot, not knowing what he was thinking.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on his body, casting a long silhouette, and nine fox tails swayed gently behind him, looking lazy, enchanting, and with a hint of charm.

"Someone is coming."

He called out in a low voice, his voice as cold as a pond.

A dark shadow appeared silently behind him.

Then he knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

Bai Ye looked into the distance, as if penetrating the heavy darkness and reaching the cliff.

He spoke slowly, "Go to Luoshan Cliff and find out where the nine-tailed white fox is. If it's really Bai Qi... kill him on the spot and leave no one alive."

Third brother, since you are lucky enough to survive, don’t blame your eldest brother for being cruel and ruthless.

The position of Beast King can only be mine.

The shadow's pupils constricted, and he quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Remember to do it cleanly!"

Bai Ye's mouth curled up into a sneer, and as he thought of something, he added, "By the way, let's explore what secrets the cliff has, and remember to come back and report."

Luoshan Cliff has always been an unowned land. When did it become a forbidden area for the Wolf Tribe?

There must be some secrets hidden inside, or some important resources have been discovered.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The shadow responded respectfully again.

Then he quietly retreated and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

After the black shadow disappeared.

Bai Ye stood there for a long time, then began to wander around the palace aimlessly.

When he passed by the Beast King Palace, he was slightly startled and stopped involuntarily.

Seeing that there was no one around, I couldn't help but push the door open and go in.

The Beast King Hall was dimly lit and silent. Only a few rays of moonlight shone through the window lattice onto the ground, reflecting his slender figure.

He walked slowly towards the throne, his fingertips lightly brushing across the cold Beast King throne, greed and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"Father, you are old after all."

He murmured softly, his ambition obvious.

The fox's ears moved slightly, and it suddenly noticed someone approaching.

Bai Ye's expression changed slightly, and he quickly slipped away from the Beast King Palace, fearing that he would be noticed.

As soon as I went out, I bumped into Chu Youyou who was rushing over.

Seeing his panicked expression, Chu Youyou asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Bai Ye coughed lightly and returned to his usual lazy posture, his fox eyes narrowed slightly, "Nothing, I'm just taking a walk. You're in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Chu Youyou retracted her gaze and said quickly, "The banquet is about to begin. I heard from the female slave that His Highness is on the terrace, so I came here."

Bai Ye nodded lazily, "Oh? The banquet, I forgot about it. But..."

He deliberately dragged out his tone, his eyes darting around Chu Youyou, "Your outfit is quite unique and suits you very well."

He had never seen such an outfit before and found it novel and interesting.

Chu Youyou blushed and looked down at her new plain long dress, which looked a bit like a modern evening gown.

She made it according to her memories from her previous life, but unfortunately the color was too plain.

Although Beast King City is more advanced and prosperous than the Winged Tiger Tribe, it also has things like ceramics and linen.

But there were no dyes, all the cloth was plain in color, and the workmanship was extremely rough.

But compared to other places in the beast world, it is much more civilized.

However, this is the only way to wear it for now.

She collected her thoughts and put on a modest smile, "Your Highness, I appreciate the compliment. I just altered it a little and put it on because I thought it looked good this way."

Bai Ye's lips curled slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in the fox's eyes: "Just a few changes? That's interesting."

He reached out and gently lifted Chu Youyou's chin, his tone ambiguous: "However, I'm afraid that the way you dress will steal the limelight from the protagonist tonight."

Chu Youyou didn't know who the protagonist of the night was, so she just said modestly, "Your Highness, you're joking. I'm just a foil, how dare I steal the limelight?"

Bai Ye chuckled and retracted his hand, saying lazily, "Let's go, the banquet has begun. Don't keep father waiting anxiously."

Chu Youyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed Bai Ye to the banquet.

I thought that although the color of this evening dress was plain, it was enough to stun this country bumpkin from the animal world.

.........

As the night deepens, by the salt lake.

Su Xiyue was leaning against a big tree and chewing on a sweet potato, juice dripping through her fingers.

Bai Qi suddenly leaned forward, his snow-white fur brushing against the back of her hand. "Xiao Yueyue is trying to seduce me even when I'm eating?"

She rolled her eyes and was about to retort.

In the distance, a cub whimpered.

Ye Ling strode over with the little tiger, its fur all standing on end. His movements were rough, and his silver eyes flashed with impatience: "This little thing, it keeps yelping when it falls. It's really annoying."

But he was thinking in his heart that Mu Han in cub form was so weak that he was not even strong enough to be pinched by one of his fingers.

"Be gentle, it's still a cub."

She glanced at Mu Han, who was in the form of a cub in Ye Ling's hand, threw away the remaining sweet potato in her hand, and hurried over to hold it in her arms.

After a careful check, I found that there was nothing serious and felt relieved.

This little guy is quite tough and didn't get hurt at all from the fall.

Just got dirty all over.

She carried the little guy to the dark river to wash him, and then wiped him dry with clean animal skins and wrapped him up.

Looking at such a soft and cute cub, his heart softened, "Poor little guy, are you hurt from the fall? Let me rub it for you." He completely forgot that this was Mu Han.

The little tiger rubbed against her arms, making a low whimpering sound in his throat, as if he was acting coquettishly, or complaining.

Ye Ling followed behind, his silver eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a bad tone: "This little thing is pretending very well. It's just a fall, is it that serious?"

She looked up at him and said calmly, "Why don't you try throwing one?"

Ye Ling was choked, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Bai Qi came over with a smile, "Xiao Yueyue, this little tiger is quite attached to you, why don't you let me hold him?"

Before Su Xiyue could say anything, Mu Han in her arms suddenly became furious and bared his teeth at Bai Qi. He no longer looked soft and cute at all, but looked extremely ferocious.

He had an attitude of "Just try and see if you dare to touch me."

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, you have quite a temper."

But he was thinking in his heart that although Mu Han had degenerated into a cub and lost all his memories, his habit of liking females had not changed at all.

Also, although Mu Han has degenerated into a cub now, he will eventually recover in the future, and staying around will always be a threat.

It's obviously inappropriate to keep it around like this.

I was thinking of finding an opportunity to get rid of it secretly.

But the prerequisite is to keep it a secret from Yue'er.

Mo Lin walked over with a cold face, and his eyes lingered on the little tiger in Su Xiyue's arms for a moment.

He immediately recognized that this was Mu Han who had degenerated into a cub. He didn't expect that Yue'er would pick him up and want to adopt him.

But I didn’t say anything, just keep it.

At worst, I can find a chance to throw it away secretly.

"Yue'er, there are many things to do here at the Salt Lake, and the conditions are limited. You are pregnant now, so it is not appropriate for you to stay here any longer. Let Qingzhu take you back."

He suddenly said indifferently.

The tribe has a leader watching over it, as well as a witch doctor and many old females who have given birth to cubs. It is better than staying in the salt lake.

Mia is dead, and no one will bother Yue'er.

When Ye Ling heard this, he thought about parting with Yue'er, and a look of reluctance flashed across his eyes.

But Yue'er is indeed not suitable to stay in the salt lake.

He was silent for a while, frowned and said, "I'd better take her back."

Mo Lin glanced at him calmly and said, "The leader has handed over the salt works to you. Do you think it's appropriate for you to leave?"

Ye Ling was speechless when Mo Lin asked him back, and his face was gloomy.

Seeing this, Su Xiyue quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "The salt field really can't do without you. How about this, let Bai Qi go back with me. I still need to study ceramics and need someone to help me. Bai Qi is meticulous and is the most suitable person to do these things."

The mystery of Bai Qi's life experience has not been solved yet. If they are separated, the mission cannot be carried out.

Although the mission is due within one month, the tasks at the salt lake cannot be completed in a short time.

Naturally, I have to bring Bai Qi with me.

Bai Qi narrowed his fox eyes and smiled: "Xiao Yueyue, are you giving me a chance to show off?"

She glanced at him calmly: "Why, don't you want to go back with me?"

Bai Qi smiled and said, "How could that be possible? I'm so happy to be able to follow Xiao Yueyue."

"Then don't get married?"

She said speechlessly.

Ye Ling's eyes darkened, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his silver eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The next day, just after dawn, Su Xiyue had eaten, and then she and Bai Qi left the salt lake and set off to return to the tribe.

Bai Qi transformed into a nine-tailed white fox, his huge body as white as snow, and his nine tails swaying gracefully behind him.

Su Xiyue rode on his back, holding the little tiger Mu Han in her arms. The scenery along the way was picturesque and it was quite pleasant.

Bai Qi carried her on his back and jumped over the Luanyun Gorge.

The nine snow tails stretched out into fan shapes in the wind, and the fox ears shook comfortably: "Xiao Yueyue, you must hold on tight, the Soul-Breaking Cliff is ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white fox leaped towards the hundred-meter-wide cliff.

She grabbed Bai Qi's silver-white fur tightly, and the little tiger in her arms exploded into a fur ball: "Bai Qi, you did it on purpose!"

Amidst the whistling wind, the old fox's muffled laughter could be heard: "Only then will you take the initiative to hug me tightly."

Suddenly, three bone arrows flew through the air, aiming directly at Bai Qi's vital points.

Bai Qi narrowed his fox eyes, swung his nine tails, and moved sideways instantly.

The bone arrow flew past Su Xiyue's hair and nailed into the tree trunk beside her, making a buzzing sound.

"Yo, it seems someone thinks I'm living too long."

Bai Qi chuckled lightly, his tone lazy but with a hint of coldness.

Su Xiyue hugged the little tiger tightly in her arms and frowned, "Who is so bold as to attack in broad daylight? Could it be the Winged Tiger Tribe?"

Before Bai Qi could answer, a group of orcs suddenly jumped out from the surrounding woods. They all transformed into their original forms, each with different beast shapes. Their strength was all above level five, and they were all murderous.

Su Xiyue's eyebrows and heart were beating fast, and she was obviously frightened by the scene in front of her.

My goodness, where do all these powerful orcs come from?
She counted carefully and found that there were at least thirty or forty of them.

Leading the group was an eight-tailed red fox, which transformed into a human form. Its blood-red fur coat was as red as fire, and its eyes and brows were full of charm.

He is obviously a male, but he is more beautiful than a woman.

He just sneered and said, "Third Prince, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to be alive."

Bai Qi's eyes turned cold, but a lazy smile still hung on the corner of his mouth. A wisp of purple-gold fox fire ignited at his fingertips, and he said quietly, "Oh? So it's an old acquaintance. Why didn't you burn to death back then? Now you rush here to die?"

A hint of fear flashed across the eight-tailed red fox's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness: "Do you think I'm still afraid of your little fox fire now? Today, I will take it back with interest."

He waved his hands violently and said in a sharp voice, "Bite him to death! Whoever can get his head and peel off his fur will be rewarded handsomely."

In an instant, the orcs behind him pounced fiercely.
