Chapter 720  Recovered fragment

They were standing in a small clearing in a forest not that far from the Silver Wing City, with Hong Yue sitting on a big rock not far from the two, with one knee raised and supporting the elbow of her arm. She didn\'t participate in their talk, but her crimson eyes never left Wu Long.

"Childish? They obviously didn\'t believe me when I said they\'d be better off sitting this one out, was I supposed to let them continue to think I was lying?", the Celestial Fox clapped back with a prideful look.

"Haha, it seems Mingyu had some fun along the way too", he shook his head with a lighthearted smile.

\'Just look at him, looking so chipper after making those four unable to walk properly for at least a couple days… how shameless\', Fen Baihu narrowed her eyes at his face that so obviously had a slightly refreshed look. This was a sentiment shared by Hong Yue, but neither of them voiced that thought.

She then puffed out her chest with confidence, "Hah, if anything, you should be thanking me!"

"Thanking you?"

"That\'s right, thanking me. After all, I looked out for your ladies so that they didn\'t feel left out", she proclaimed with a grin on her face, not really expecting to make him flustered with something like this but still having fun imagining it in her head.

"Hmm, that\'s true"

"Eh?", her eyes widened as she froze.

And in the next moment, his hand landed on top of her head, right between her fox ears. She flinched from surprise, but at the same time was overwhelmed by how comfortable his touch and the warmth it gave off felt.

"Mm, it\'s only right that I properly praise you for such a thoughtful deed. Thank you, Fen Baihu", he nodded and spoke in a soft and sincere tone that flustered her, and gently patted her head which completely broke her train of thought.

"Ah.. um…", she incoherently mumbled in a tiny voice as her cheeks slightly reddened.

Meanwhile Wu Long was completely honest, since it was true that he intentionally refrained from calling back Luo Mingyu and Gong Cui.

"Mingyu aside, Cui\'er really might have misunderstood. I thought I would talk to her about it later, but thanks to your considerate gesture, it looks like she\'ll avoid being upset about it even if a little bit", he spoke with a smile.

"Eh? T-the other one also came out…", Fen Baihu raised her eyes that looked down at her feet back to his face. Her expression at this point was not as flustered as before, but it didn\'t escape his sight that her eight tails were swaying from side to side with gentle and smooth motions.

"Haha, that\'s why I said Mingyu had fun along the way. She can\'t cultivate with me for a while anyway, since her physique that most prominently manifests in her Yin Root has only recently awoken and she has yet to bring it under control. She knows that as well, so she was just having some fun, while also looking out for Cui\'er", Wu Long explained in a calm, soothing tone.

Though he didn\'t mention that Gong Cui was simply making a scene to try and tease Cao Mei and Cao Xiang, and wouldn\'t get really upset about something like this either. After all, she would have only really misunderstood if she didn\'t trust Wu Long, or questioned his attitude towards herself, and it was obvious to anyone who saw her eyes whenever she looked at him, that her not trusting him was an absurd thing to claim. So, rather than thanking Fen Baihu for truly comforting Gong Cui, he was just sincerely thankful to her for the thought of doing it.

After patting her head for a bit, not short enough time to make it too casual, but also not long enough to make it awkward, he retracted his hand.

"Ah…", she suddenly felt emptiness that was left in place of that gentle comfort, which took her by surprise. Her tails stopped their motion and slightly curled up.

It was a strange feeling, there was originally nothing there on top of her head, but after he took away his hand that was there only for a few moments, it already felt like something was missing.

"A…Anyway… so you… really don\'t have a solution for the problem you got because of the Celestial Fox bloodline?", she decided to change topics, and the first one that automatically popped up in her mind was something she was worried about.

After all, the fact he was still not fully in control of the bloodline power even after going through that ordeal and constructing a core was definitely not something she would be happy to hear as the one who felt partially responsible.

"Hmm, it\'s not like I don\'t have any solution at all, but it might take a bit of time to figure out. Don\'t worry about it, I was going to study it to figure out what benefits I can get from this bloodline anyway, it\'s not like I have to do something I didn\'t need to prior to this", he smiled, seeing through her concerns.

And then, not giving her time to argue, continued "Anyway, all of this ruckus diverted attention from your good news, don\'t you have something to share?"

She was still not completely at ease about his condition and that he completely avoided putting any responsibility on her, but decided to let him sway the topic. Not to mention that this was something she was quite a bit thrilled to talk about. An excited spark appeared in her eyes along with a grin.

"Hehe, that\'s right. I originally wanted to boas-… I mean notify you as soon as I saw you, but my injury finally saw some improvement after so long! It\'s all thanks to your Yang Qi!", she spoke with a proud look.

"Mm, I noticed the ease with which you enveloped such a vast region when taking away those Demonic Beasts" Wu Long nodded, his eyes reflecting her figure lighting up with enjoyment at the sight of how animated her response was.

"Hahaha, that\'s not all, I finally regained my Second Tail Form\'s latent ability in its full form", her grin grew wider, changing her expression to a somewhat smug one.

"You mean…", his eyes widened a bit, since if that was true her recovery indeed was quite phenomenal for just their first session. Granted, he gave her as much Yang Qi as she could handle, but it still proved to be more effective for her treatment than he thought.

"Hehehe, should I try to Bewitch you?", she spoke in a playful voice, as her pink eyes started glowing, while her eight tails rose behind her and spread. The surroundings seemed to have responded to that change, a sudden gust of wind rustling the foliage, floating a few leaves around her and gently swaying her hair, giving her a dangerous and yet more enchanting and mysterious air.

Hong Yue who sat quietly until now tensed up for the first time.

"There\'s no harm in trying, but isn\'t trying it on me of all people just after recovering a bit too disheartening for you?", he chuckled, not particularly worried about the power that did not work on him. His completely relaxed atmosphere making the white-haired assassin a bit hesitant on what was going on.

Fen Baihu has many forms, but only eight that correspond to her eight tails could be called her true forms. Those true forms did not simply exist for no reason. After all, as a true form it can become her weakness, since one could injure her if she is corporeal unlike her dream-like state. If they didn\'t have any benefits, there would never have existed a need to take a risk by taking her true forms. The answer lay in the fact that each one of her true forms came with a different and powerful latent ability.

Only the ability of her first true form, of the little fox, which was the ability of creating that boundary zone between reality and dream in limited area, could be used when she was in any other true form, all others were restricted to when she was in the corresponding true form.

And the ability of her Second True Form in which she was now, was \'Bewitching\', as she completely took over one\'s mind and could command them. Of course, there were limitations, and significant mental fortitude along with certain skills and latent powers could resist her. Just like she was powerless to even try bewitching Wu Long. But it did not mean that it was a weak power.

"Tch, you\'re no fun", she clicked her tongue, clearly having expected Hong Yue to attack, and thus sulking that he got in the way of her showing off her ability. Her eyes returned to normal, and the surrounding area settled down. But she could still not hide the pride of finally obtaining part of her power back, even if it was not yet as powerful as it could be.

And at this timing…

"Boss", Old Yen arrived at the small clearing they were in.

He stopped, looking at Hong Yue to the side, seemingly hesitating to speak further in her presence.

"How is it?", however Wu Long asked, indirectly telling him it was okay.

Seeing that, Old Yen visibly relaxed and started giving his report.
