After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 129 - "Sacred Maiden, I Suggest You Be a Good Woman and Accumulate Virtue"

“But.”

“Our Fox Clan’s Nine-Tailed Bloodline doesn’t seem to be solely passed down through Ranyue’s lineage, does it?”

As Xia Zhiyue spoke, her gaze locked onto the fox princess below.

Her enchanting eyes glimmered with a sly intent, carrying a subtle hint of mockery and provocation.

That smile of hers nearly made Xia Ranyue faint from anger.

Bang!

The fox princess slammed the table, standing up with a face full of indignation as she glared at the snow-white fox maiden—

“I don’t agree! He Ange is the man I brought back to the clan! Even if I’m still young, he’s mine! No one else is allowed to touch him!”

“...?”

The elders were startled.

Xia Ranyue’s sudden outburst left the entire cherry wood hall in an awkward silence.

The elders hadn’t expected this usually sweet and adorable Second Miss to be so fiery and unyielding when provoked.

At this moment,

The fox princess bared her teeth slightly, her lips trembling as she bit down, revealing her small tiger fangs. She stood protectively, glaring at the Sacred Maiden like a cub defending its territory.

As her elder sister, Xia Zhiyue was unfazed. She crossed her arms and let out a cold snort, clearly used to such behavior.

In fact...

Seeing her sister so protective of her “territory” amused Xia Zhiyue. She found it cute and entertaining.

What did this mean?

It meant Xia Ranyue was scared—scared because she knew Xia Zhiyue had the power to take her man, which was why she was so flustered.

In the eyes of the strong, even the defiance of the weak could seem endearing.

After a moment of staring,

Xia Ranyue calmed down slightly. She glanced at the snow-white fox maiden on the high platform, then coldly sat back down.

She grabbed the white-robed youth beside her.

“He Ange... You said I’m your one and only little fox, didn’t you?”

Her voice was soft and tender, her enchanting eyes gazing at him with a mix of grievance and hope, as if she had suffered a great injustice from her sister.

On the high platform, Xia Zhiyue’s eyes widened in disbelief. It was the first time she had seen her usually mischievous and proud sister act so gentle and pitiful in front of a man.

And then, under the Sacred Maiden’s incredulous gaze—

“A gentleman’s word is his bond.”

He Ange gently caressed the fox princess’s face, his tone calm and tender, as if he were ready to spoil her endlessly.

His response only made Xia Ranyue’s heart leap with joy.

She beamed with a radiant smile, her excitement evident as she asked again:

“Then, He Ange, if another bad fox tries to seduce you, what will you do?”

“My body may break, but my heart will remain steadfast.”

He pinched her soft, delicate cheek, his eyes filled with affection.

His words seemed to imply that even if his body were destroyed, no one could sway his devotion to his beloved.

And judging by the context, it was clear to everyone who his beloved was.

Moreover,

When Xia Zhiyue heard their exchange, the meaning struck her differently, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth.

Xia Ranyue’s words were a blatant jab at her.

And He Ange’s response was likely a subtle dig as well, implying that while Xia Zhiyue could force him to kneel and lick her feet, she could never command his loyalty.

She, Xia Zhiyue, was only worthy of forcibly taking his body...

So stubborn!

Thinking this, the Sacred Maiden felt a surge of anger.

For someone as controlling as Xia Zhiyue, loyalty was paramount. She had made He Ange kneel and lick her feet as a way to conquer this human youth.

But He Ange’s defiance far exceeded her expectations.

All he had to do was submit to her, serve her obediently, and she would have granted him access to all the resources of the Fox Clan.

If he had been compliant, Xia Zhiyue, as his master, would have been generous with her rewards.

How many men dreamed of even touching the hem of her dress, let alone her feet?

But He Ange refused to yield!

Not only did he disdain the Sacred Maiden’s offered favor, but he also retaliated, doing the exact opposite of what she wanted.

How could such a proud man exist?

“Hmph, Mr. He, your affection for my sister is truly enviable.”

Xia Zhiyue let out a cold laugh, her face expressionless, her tone indifferent.

She stared at He Ange, pulling out three tokens from her cleavage, unintentionally drawing his attention.

Immediately, not only did He Ange’s gaze freeze, but even Xia Ranyue sensed something was amiss.

“It seems... this token will go to waste,” Xia Zhiyue murmured self-deprecatingly.

She tossed the token into the air, catching it with her white tail before retrieving it again, playing with it idly.

Her gaze towards He Ange was unusually cold.

“Mr. He, is this what you came to the Fox Clan for?”

“Yes, Sacred Maiden,” He Ange replied, bowing slightly.

“If you want it...”

She paused.

The Sacred Maiden lightly coughed, crossing her legs under her long, intricate purple dress. Her movements caused the fabric to shift, revealing just enough of her foot to catch He Ange’s attention.

She did it on purpose.

She deliberately exposed her foot, letting He Ange catch glimpses of its soft, pink sole, reminding him of the time it had been in his mouth, a sweet and tantalizing memory...

“If you want it, come to my room tonight. I’ll tell you how to get it.”

Her voice was cold and elegant.

Seeing the youth’s gaze drawn to her foot, she let out another cold snort.

This deceitful fox...

He Ange felt his anger rise.

They had agreed earlier that licking her foot would earn him the token, and he had reluctantly complied.

Now, Xia Zhiyue wanted him to go to her room? What kind of extortion was this?

Though frustrated, He Ange took a deep breath, forcing a calm expression:

“If the Sacred Maiden invites me, how could I refuse?”

“He Ange, He Ange...!”

Beside him, the fox princess whispered urgently, her eyes wide as she glared at him. She was practically screaming, “You can’t agree! She’s a bad woman!”

But He Ange could only shrug, patting the little fox’s head:

“I’ll be back tonight.”

He had no choice. The token was crucial.

His master, Feng Yuan, had tasked him with becoming a certified successor to infiltrate the forbidden grounds of the Saint Void Sect and steal an ancient scroll.

For that,

He Ange had to endure Xia Zhiyue’s manipulation for now.

But humiliation today would be repaid tomorrow!

He Ange refrained from making any bold declarations, hoping Xia Zhiyue would show some mercy and not push him too far.

As the meeting neared its conclusion,

Just as the Sacred Maiden was about to smirk, thinking she had the upper hand, the fox princess suddenly slammed the table again—

“No way—!!!”

“He Ange, I’m going with you tonight! She almost killed you last time. I need to keep an eye on her!”
