Chapter 447 The cunning fox
Yi Moxu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "What does General Gu mean?"
Gu Hai's eyes flashed with malice: "I think there is another possibility, that is, what Ye Qing'an ate was not the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and she did not upgrade to the Supreme. All of this is just a play put on by Ye Qing'an to make us think that she has already become the Supreme, so as to achieve some of her unspeakable secrets."
“That possibility…” Yi Moxu paused, “is also possible. But the strange phenomenon that occurred before was real, so it’s really hard to say now. However, whether Ye Qing’an has advanced to the Supreme Realm or whether this is all an act, we’ll find out soon enough.”
“We’ll know once we try.” Gu Hai frowned. “But I need to find a reason to force Ye Qing’an to fight me, so I can test Ye Qing’an’s current strength and whether he has truly become a Supreme Being.”
Gu Hai twirled the jade thumb ring on his finger, secretly making plans in his mind.
After a while, Gu Hai looked up at Yi Moxu again: "Why don't you pretend to be worried that she might have other adverse reactions after taking the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and go check her pulse under the guise of taking her pulse?"
"Because of the pill incident, Miss Ye doesn't trust me now, and I'm afraid she won't easily let me take her pulse."
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes: "It might not be you. I can ask other medical practitioners to investigate. Alright, you may leave."
Yi Moxu withdrew, and Gu Hai stood up. He then took out a bottle of pills from his chest, poured out the pills, played with them in his hand for a while, and then smelled them.
That's right, this is indeed the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and it's the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from his mansion.
He had previously marked the two Heavenly Spirit Pearls in his mansion.
If Ye Qing'an truly only possessed a Holy Spirit Body, yet became a Supreme Being after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, then he too could…
O Supreme One...
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes. Recently, including Ye Qing'an, the Siyou Kingdom has produced two Supreme Beings.
Since there are already two Supreme Beings, adding him one more wouldn't be too many, would it?
……
Ye Qing'an was unaware of Gu Hai's plans. Shen Qingdai was reporting to her in a low voice: "Just as Master predicted, our people did indeed find Ye Qinghao somewhere near the Monster Forest."
Shen Qingdai lowered her head, dipped her finger in the tea on the table, and drew a circle on it: "This circle represents the Monster Forest. We're here now..."
Shen Qingdai tapped a dot, then moved her finger to the other side of the circle representing the Monster Forest: "Ye Qinghao is here, just across the Monster Forest from us."
"This is a mountain, facing the Monster Forest. It has cliffs and precipices, so there's no need to worry about low-level monsters from the lower edge harassing you. There's a village here, with about two or three hundred people living in it. Ye Qinghao lives in the bamboo forest next to the village."
"The bamboo forest is quite large and secluded, so the villagers don't go into it often, and few people know that there are houses inside."
"When our people went to investigate, it was because someone in the village said that when they went to cut bamboo, they heard footsteps in the bamboo forest, which caught our attention."
"When our people went there, they encountered Ye Qinghao, and even fought with him."
"Because the master had instructed us that it would be best to capture him alive, our people surrounded Ye Qinghao in that house, intending to capture him alive. However, we never expected that Ye Qinghao would disappear in that bamboo house. It should be... a summoning array."
Shen Qingdai knelt on one knee: "Your subordinate has failed in her duties, please punish me, Master."
"It's nothing." Ye Qing'an's expression remained unchanged. "Ye Qinghao is cunning by nature. His escape was something I expected. There's no need to rush..."
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "Ye Qinghao's spirit beast is a cunning fox. With it around, it's difficult to catch Ye Qinghao. However, even if we can't catch him, we can make Ye Qinghao come to us on his own."
"Let Ye Qinghao come find him himself?" Shen Qingdai raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an smiled and said, “Soon, the news of my becoming a Supreme will spread. Ye Qinghao had me undergo the Spirit Stone Trial before, but he tampered with it, so I ended up with a Holy Spirit Body in both trials.”
"A Holy Spirit Body, who didn't explode and die after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, but instead upgraded to a Supreme Being, and this person is his daughter. Do you think Ye Qinghao can resist?"
Shen Qingdai understood the meaning behind Ye Qing'an's words: "Indeed, it's hard to restrain oneself."
“So,” Ye Qing’an narrowed her eyes, her gaze full of cunning, “we’ll just wait patiently for him to take the bait.”
Looking at Ye Qing'an's appearance, Shen Qingdai recalled what Ye Qing'an had just said: Ye Qinghao's spirit beast was a cunning fox.
But now, in Shen Qingdai's heart, she felt that the woman in front of her was more like a fox than a fox.
She possesses the cunning of a fox, the beauty of a fox, and some even more allure than a fox…
Just as Shen Qingdai was about to say something, she heard a sudden exclamation from outside: "Quick, look! It's a Taotie! The Taotie is out!"
Ye Qing'an slowly sat up straight: "Taotie, you've come out of the Demon Beast Forest?"
"It should be." Shen Qingdai had already heard the exclamations outside.
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Very good, you've come at the perfect time."
Yi Moxu really understands her thoughts.
Ye Qing'an stood up: "Bring me my cloak."
Shen Qingdai quickly took Ye Qing'an's cloak and put it on her.
As Ye Qing'an stepped out of the tent, she saw the Taotie suddenly appear in the sky above the distant Demon Beast Forest.
The birds that had been circling above their tents had not yet completely dispersed.
"That Taotie, did it see these birds?"
"Why aren't these birds leaving? What are they doing here?"
"I heard it's because the young lady of the Ye family has advanced to the Supreme Realm, and a strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky, with all the birds singing in unison. Some people say that this scene is called 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'."
"What 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'? Those birds haven't developed any spiritual awareness yet, so they can be manipulated at will. However, those birds are also pitiful, as they are likely to become the gluttonous beast's meal."
"Our camp has a protective barrier, so there's nothing to worry about. That Taotie can't even see us."
The soldiers were discussing amongst themselves when they saw the Taotie charging towards them.
The flock of birds did not scatter. Just as everyone was waiting to see the Taotie swallow them whole, a person suddenly leaped up and pounced straight at the Taotie...
