After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 115 - "He Ange, What’s His Relationship with Your Sister?"

Xia Zhiyue shot a glare at He Ange.

The reason was clear: she had distinctly felt an impure, malevolent gaze from behind her. As the revered Sacred Maiden of the Fox Clan, Xia Zhiyue was highly sensitive to such looks. She despised anyone harboring disrespectful or lecherous thoughts about her, especially disgusting human males!

In the past, those who dared to look at her with lustful eyes met their end, their hearts ripped out and sacrificed to enhance her Divine Transformation cultivation.

He Ange’s gaze had a similar quality to those men.

This made Xia Zhiyue extremely wary.

However, while similar, He Ange’s gaze was different from that of ordinary men.

His gaze was more sinister. He wasn’t just ogling her body; his desire was far more ambitious and grandiose.

Was his vision loftier?

Beyond mere carnal desires?

Xia Zhiyue couldn’t say for sure.

But she was sensitive enough to feel uneasy. He Ange’s gaze made her heart race. If he wasn’t after her beauty, what could he possibly want?

Could his true ambition be the entire Fox Clan?

The thought made Xia Zhiyue’s gaze even colder and more menacing. Anger meant she was genuinely unsettled. If it were just a lustful gaze, she wouldn’t be angry—just disgusted and contemptuous, as if looking at trash.

But He Ange wasn’t trash; he was an enemy. She couldn’t fathom his true ambitions.

Was he after Xia Ranyue’s nine-tailed bloodline, or was he targeting Xia Zhiyue herself?

How dare he?

Who gave him the courage?

With these thoughts, Xia Zhiyue withdrew her gaze, biting her lip in frustration. The rest of the outsider meeting felt like a blur to her.

She saw He Ange give her an apologetic smile.

But his smile did nothing to ease her unease. It only made her more anxious. She knew it was a ploy to lower her guard. She was certain He Ange’s mask hid a sinister, grand scheme.

Deep down, Xia Zhiyue didn’t see herself as a good person.

But as a villain, she felt she was better than He Ange. To her, he seemed like the true evil villain visiting the Fox Clan.

“He Ange, I will uncover your true nature sooner or later.”

The white fox maiden leaned back, her enchanting eyes icy cold.

…

…

The outsider meeting continued.

With the first token claimed by the Heavenly Sword Sect elder, the rest of the token auction was straightforward.

It was essentially a matter of who offered the most.

In the first half of the meeting, six tokens were sold by the Sacred Maiden.

The remaining three tokens, which were not for sale, became the focus of the second half of the meeting.

Since Xia Zhiyue had decided to reserve three tokens, she stuck to her word. Many sect elders were eyeing more tokens, but Xia Zhiyue had lost patience. She left the meeting abruptly.

She didn’t care about saving face for the sects.

The sects knew they had often slandered and marginalized the Fox Clan. It was only natural for the Sacred Maiden to show them disdain.

Instead of cursing the Sacred Maiden behind her back, they were more concerned with the remaining tokens and the Fox Clan’s certification.

Despite Xia Zhiyue’s temper, she was genuine in her dealings with the sects.

In short, the Sacred Maiden was approachable.

As long as they could gain benefits from the Fox Clan, the sects wouldn’t easily turn against her.

Now,

Even though the Sacred Maiden had left,

There were still many Fox Clan elders present.

These elders didn’t have the authority to distribute tokens, but they were influential figures in the clan. If they spoke on behalf of the sects, they might influence the Sacred Maiden’s policies in the upcoming clan meeting.

Everyone knew.

Major clan decisions couldn’t be made by the Sacred Maiden alone.

So, in the second half of the meeting, the sect elders, having established connections with the Sacred Maiden, began to focus on currying favor with the Fox Clan elders.

The Fox Clan elders, with their centuries of experience, were inherently wary of the sects but not as unyielding as the Sacred Maiden. When the sect elders offered fine wine and treasures, it was hard for them to refuse.

Soon, after a few rounds of drinks,

Many Fox Clan elders couldn’t maintain their stern expressions.

“Elder Fox, my sect has a talented female disciple, as beautiful as a flower. She’s also an excellent dual cultivation partner! Perhaps there’s an outstanding young man in your clan who hasn’t married yet? Or maybe you’d like to take a concubine?”

“I’ve heard Elder Fox enjoys fine wine. This is a special brew from the Tianyuan Sect... The quality speaks for itself!”

“Good, good! Very good!”

…

…

After the Sacred Maiden left, the outsider meeting became even more lively.

It was clear that the Fox Clan was profiting immensely from this secret realm trial, gaining various cultivation resources and potential alliances.

As the Sacred Maiden’s sister, Xia Ranyue also received much attention and toasts from the sect elders.

However, He Ange intercepted all the drinks on her behalf.

During this time, many young fox maidens eyed He Ange, wanting to approach him but hesitating due to the Sacred Maiden’s sister’s presence.

He Ange glanced at them, and they shyly hid behind their elders, whispering and giggling as they stole glances at him.

Xia Ranyue noticed all of this.

Growing up in the Fox Clan, she knew exactly what these young fox girls were thinking.

They were undoubtedly attracted to He Ange’s handsome looks and wanted to dual cultivate with him.

Thinking about this, Xia Ranyue looked up at the white-robed youth beside her.

In the past...

She had also been drawn to He Ange’s looks and personality, wanting to be the first to claim this treasure of a boy.

But she had fallen into the trap of a scoundrel.

Now, back in the Fox Clan, it was only natural that more young, naive fox girls would be attracted to him.

However,

He Ange already had her, the Fox Clan princess. He wouldn’t be interested in other girls, right?

As she thought this, Xia Ranyue noticed He Ange’s gaze meeting those of the fox maidens below. He smiled gently at them, exuding warmth and charm.

Immediately, she pinched his arm hard.

“Ouch, ouch... What’s wrong?” He Ange asked, looking innocent.

“Stop looking at those girls from my clan. And smiling at them! You’re such a scoundrel.”

The fox princess’s enchanting eyes were filled with jealousy. She pouted, biting her lip, and asked in a jealous tone, “Am I not as pretty as them? Or is it because my tail isn’t as fluffy? Or do you just prefer mixed-blood foxes and find me, a red fox, unattractive?”

“...?”

He Ange looked at the suddenly angry and pouting fox princess, raising an eyebrow.

Did he really seem like such a lecherous scoundrel?

Clearly not.

He Ange turned his head, his clear eyes meeting the fox princess’s gaze. He looked at her with curiosity, making her blush.

He reached out and gently pinched Xia Ranyue’s cheek.

“Little princess, are you jealous?”

“I-I-I’m not!”

…

When the outsider meeting ended, the sky over the Fox Clan’s secret realm had already darkened.

Throughout the meeting, Qin Shiyan remained unmoved, silently observing the other sect elders fawning over the Fox Clan, trying to secure slots for the Dragon Dynasty.

As the meeting concluded, she cast a meaningful glance at the white-robed youth standing beside the fox princess on the platform.

He Ange noticed his master’s gaze and looked back, but Qin Shiyan only gave him a slight smile before disappearing into the night.

Afterward,

Qin Shiyan went to the Sacred Maiden’s palace, finding a pavilion with a good view of the moon. She summoned a cup of fine wine, pouring two glasses.

Before she could take a sip, she heard light, elegant footsteps behind her.

The black-robed fairy didn’t turn around, closing her phoenix eyes and waiting silently.

“Fairy Qin, why didn’t you try to secure a token at the banquet?”

The fox maiden, folding her fan, smiled gently.

She sat across from Qin Shiyan without hesitation, picking up a glass of wine and drinking it in one go. She then fixed her enchanting eyes on the black-robed fairy.

“Do you want me to beg like a dog?”

“Of course not, but seeing you beg once in a while... has its charm,” Xia Zhiyue said, leaning forward, resting her chin on her hand, and downing two more glasses of wine.

In front of Qin Shiyan, she was relaxed, without her usual coldness and authority. She drank more freely.

Qin Shiyan gave her a disdainful look and took a sip of her wine.

“Dream on.”

“After all, you’re a dog for the Empress. Why not be one for me too?”

“The Empress rules with an iron fist. Try uniting the Nine Provinces first.”

“Hmph, once I fully master Divine Transformation and transcend, I’ll make you kneel before me!”

The Sacred Maiden pouted, her nine white tails swaying.

She and Qin Shiyan were old friends. When Xia Zhiyue was young, she had angered the Empress and was captured by the celestial attendants.

It was Qin Shiyan who pleaded with the Empress to save the future Sacred Maiden, allowing her to return to the Fox Clan.

Qin Shiyan claimed she did it out of respect for Xia Zhiyue’s parents...

For a time, Xia Zhiyue was more like Qin Shiyan’s disciple, hiding and recovering at Shengxu Sect’s Poetry Cloud Pavilion.

Now, Xia Zhiyue’s cultivation had advanced rapidly, surpassing the balance of a master-disciple relationship. They were more like old friends.

Of course, in terms of seniority and gratitude, Xia Zhiyue still respected Qin Shiyan greatly.

“What is it?”

“Fairy Qin, you came all the way to the Fox Clan to see me. Are you trying to get a token for one of your disciples?”

“Hmph, if you beg me, it’s not impossible~”

Xia Zhiyue, slightly tipsy, addressed Qin Shiyan more respectfully, shedding her usual haughty demeanor.

The Sacred Maiden leaned on the table, taking out a token and waving it in front of Qin Shiyan’s face, trying to provoke a reaction.

But Qin Shiyan remained indifferent.

After a moment of silence,

Xia Zhiyue noticed something was off.

She sat up straight, curiously observing the black-robed fairy. She realized Qin Shiyan’s expression was unusually serious, not playful.

“Is something troubling you tonight?”

Xia Zhiyue took another sip of wine, puzzled.

Qin Shiyan downed her drink.

“He Ange.”

“What’s his relationship with your sister?”

Xia Zhiyue: ?

…

That night, after the meeting, He Ange escorted Xia Ranyue back to rest.

Since Xia Ranyue was the Sacred Maiden’s sister, they were housed in the Sacred Maiden’s palace.

The palace was large, and the Sacred Maiden hadn’t arranged for He Ange and Xia Ranyue to share a room. But at Xia Ranyue’s insistence, the attendants added an extra bed and other necessities to her room.

The bed was spacious, easily accommodating two sets of bedding.

He Ange and Xia Ranyue entered the room, and as soon as the door closed, she threw herself onto the bed, finally able to relax after a tiring day.

As the Sacred Maiden’s sister, a near-princess in the Fox Clan, Xia Ranyue was exhausted.

Following He Ange’s instructions, she had to maintain a cold demeanor and speak in a mature tone... It was hard to adjust to.

Xia Ranyue preferred more freedom.

On the other side, He Ange was also tired.

He opened the palace door and called for some attendants.

He had only intended to ask for some tea, but to his surprise, a horde of young fox maidens in maid outfits responded.

Suddenly, He Ange found himself surrounded by half the palace’s young fox girls.

They were young but curvaceous, tempting him.

Their enchanting eyes glowed with pink hearts, but their faces were pure and innocent.

They cornered He Ange, their various charms overwhelming him. The young fox maiden at the front pressed herself against him, sniffing his scent—

“Master, master!”

“You must be exhausted from serving the Second Miss all day!”

“Young master, young master~”

“Tonight, would you like to eat first, bathe first, or... relieve yourself with us first?”

He Ange: ?

…

In the Fox Clan for two days,

Tonight was the first time He Ange truly experienced the warm hospitality of a foreign land.
