"This..." Ye Chen hesitated.

"The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox almost lost her life to save you, and you don't show gratitude. Instead, you treat her like that. Are you even human?!" Long Chan accused.

"I didn't have a choice at the time, I couldn't just watch her die, could I?" Ye Chen responded with an awkward smile.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was severely injured and without divine medicine, she might have perished.

Ye Chen didn't have any divine medicine at the time, so he could only use his special skills to bring her back to life.

"All those excuses about severe injuries and spiritual healing, they're just your pretexts!" Long Chan was not concerned with the situation; if the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was bullied, it was Ye Chen's fault.

"Big sister, even if I bullied the demon fox, what does it have to do with you?" Ye Chen retorted.

"Who are you calling big sister!" Long Chan nearly jumped up upon hearing this. "I'm still a pure maiden, why are you calling me big sister!"

"..."

Seeing Long Chan's agitated state, Ye Chen found himself at a loss for words.

Dragons live for a frighteningly long time; even addressing her as his great-grandmother would be an understatement.

"Ye Chen, what do you plan to do about the demon fox?" Long Chan asked.

"I'll handle it however I want, what does it have to do with you?" Ye Chen replied impatiently.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox possessed immense combat strength and was highly valued by Saint Jue Qing, hence she was placed in Baihua Palace as a Guest Elder, a position equivalent to one of the Twelve Gold Pins.

Recently, Ye Chen had been entangled with several women, leaving him no time to attend to the demon fox. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had also kept her patience and had yet to seek him out.

However, as the saying goes, if the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is. While neither Ye Chen nor the demon fox were in a hurry, Long Chan certainly was!

What did this matter have to do with her?

"How can it not have anything to do with me!" Long Chan was furious. "The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is my family's spirit beast. You bullied my spirit beast; how could it have nothing to do with me?"

"Just go cool off somewhere else!" Ye Chen replied impatiently. "When the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was being beaten up, you were just watching from the side. If you truly cared about her, why didn't you step in to save her?"

"..."

"All right, I don't have time to argue with you. Bye!" Ye Chen dismissed her and started to walk away.

"Bastard!"

Watching Ye Chen leave nonchalantly, Long Chan stomped her feet in anger. What kind of attitude was that!

"Fighting is forbidden within Baihua Palace, otherwise, I'd battle you to vent my anger!" Long Chan said furiously.

Long Chan was a formidable force; Saint Jue Qing had set many rules for her upon her arrival at Baihua Palace.

If Long Chan bullied a disciple or caused any trouble, Saint Jue Qing would intervene. If that happened, she would either be subdued or expelled from Baihua Palace.

Since her task was not yet complete, Long Chan naturally did not want to be expelled by the Saint.

Therefore, Long Chan had to restrain her violent tendencies and avoid any violations; she needed to use her charm to conquer Ye Chen!

Being a Dragon Clan princess, Long Chan had always been arrogant and domineering, offending or even killing those she disliked.

But resolving issues involving love with force was unacceptable, which both troubled and intrigued her!

...

After shaking off Long Chan, Ye Chen wanted to return to his palace to resolve matters concerning Tao Xi Yao.

However, as soon as he descended the mountain and before reaching the palace, he encountered someone.

It was a woman, a peerless beauty, stunningly beautiful, breathtaking.

Moreover, she was not just any woman, but a fox with nine tails!

"Little fox, what are you doing here?"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox appeared to have been waiting for a while, surprising Ye Chen.

"I saw your figure earlier and have been following you since..." The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's voice was soft and gentle.

"Uh, do you need something?" Ye Chen was taken aback and asked.

"..." The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was stunned.

After the way Ye Chen treated her, she came to seek an explanation, and he asked her if she needed something?

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox felt hurt. Had Ye Chen forgotten, or did that matter mean nothing to him?

"What's the matter?" Ye Chen asked.

"Nothing!" The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox forced a smile. "I was favored by the Saint and became a Guest Elder at Baihua Palace. I like to wander around and just happened to run into you today!"

Baihua Palace was one of the ten major sects, with a vast structure and a principle of inclusivity, hosting numerous disciples from various beast and demon clans.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had followed Ye Chen and gained the favor of Saint Jue Qing, becoming a Guest Elder of Baihua Palace.

Furthermore, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was highly skilled, and Saint Jue Qing was observing her. If her conduct was upright, she might have the opportunity to become one of the Gold Pins.

"You know Qin Yan and Feng Wu. If you feel bored, you can go find them," Ye Chen suggested.

"I know, thanks!" The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox forced a smile.

"..."

The two of them had some history, but Ye Chen didn't mention it, and neither did the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

Matters like this were usually led by men; if the demon fox brought it up first, it might seem improper.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, despite being a demon, was different; she was disciplined and not frivolous.

"If there's nothing else..." Ye Chen started to say, seeming ready to leave.

"Haha, I don't have anything else. If you do, then go ahead." The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox kept smiling, though it was strained, but she looked beautiful regardless.

"In that case, I'll be leaving first!" Ye Chen said hastily, appearing to have things to handle.

"Mm. Go on." The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox said bitterly.

"If I just leave like this, won't you be sad?" Suddenly, Ye Chen returned with a smile.
