Chapter 1275 - 102: Bo Bo’s Awakening (Part 1)
"Just remember, if you can’t do it, don’t blame me for turning my back on you." Hu Linglong snorted, turning away to leave.
"Such a troublesome woman, one day I’ll deal with you." Yu Shang also disliked Hu Linglong; this woman was more of a hindrance than help. If she weren’t the daughter of Vice Clan Leader Hu Qiansui and somewhat useful, Yu Shang would have dealt with her already.
"Master Yu Shang, why bother arguing with such an ignorant woman? Soon, the Sky Fox Tribe will be ruled by you and the Great Witch Doctor." Qin Yue, now following Yu Shang, had received the Five-Tailed Heavenly Fox inheritance. She appeared fully committed to Yu Shang and was much more obedient than Hu Linglong.
"Stop flattering me. Tell me this, I sent you to capture Hu Ruolan some time ago, yet there’s still no sign of her?" Yu Shang, though having witnessed Yun Sheng ’die’ in the Ancient Sealing, still felt unsettled.
She couldn’t understand how a mixed breed could be a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
Given that Yun Sheng and Hu Ruolan’s daughter, Hu Sheng, looked identical, Yu Shang assumed Hu Ruolan knew something about Yun Sheng’s origins. Thus, upon returning to Hu Capital, she immediately ordered Qin Yue to capture Hu Ruolan.
Despite being the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader’s wife, Hu Ruolan was ignored by Hu Qianqiu after Yun Sheng’s death; he barely cared about her fate.
Yu Shang thought a mere Hu Ruolan would be easy to handle, but Qin Yue returned empty-handed.
"Master Yu Shang, there’s a bit of complication. Yun Sheng entrusted Hu Ruolan to Young Clan Chief Lu of the Jiuluan Tribe before heading to the Bahuang Mountain Range. After Yun Sheng’s death, Young Clan Chief Lu, in a fit of anger, nearly severed ties with the Sky Fox Tribe. Hu Ruolan was taken away by him. We’ve been tracking them, but Young Clan Chief Lu is very cautious; we’ve had no opportunity to act." Qin Yue spoke cautiously.
Yun Sheng, always cautious, had told Lu before leaving that he must take good care of Hu Ruolan.
When news of Yun Sheng’s ’death’ in the Bahuang Mountain Range and the harm done to the Heavenly Fox Clan was brought back, Lu was the first to refuse to believe it and even wanted to confront Hu Linglong and others.
It was the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch who finally calmed the situation.
Lu, in his anger, left with Hu Ruolan.
The Heavenly Fox Clan Leader, Hu Qianqiu, dared not stop them, making it difficult for Qin Yue and others to take action.
"Green of the Jiuluan Tribe, huh? Hmph, he’s just a useless man. He seems to have feelings for Yun Sheng, but never mind. In another month, after I’ve fully merged with the new Seven-Tailed inheritance, I’ll participate in the Eight Desolate Clan Competition and make that man bow to my Sky Fox Tribe." Yu Shang was waiting to formally inherit the position of Heavenly Fox Saintess tomorrow.
Ascending to the Saintess position was just Yu Shang’s first step; she aimed to prove to everyone in the Sky Fox Tribe that she is stronger than Hu Yan.
Eventually, Yu Shang would become the foremost figure in the Sky Fox Tribe.
Within Hu Capital, preparations for the new Saintess’s enthronement were in full swing.
Inside a certain mansion in Hu Capital, however, was a gloomy atmosphere.
Elder Liu and one-handed Liu Xueyu, the grandfather and granddaughter, wore somber expressions.
"Grandfather, have you verified everything? Is it true that Yun Sheng has no chance of survival?" Liu Xueyu asked.
"I’ve secretly had people searching the Bahuang Mountain Range for almost two months. I also sent people to gather information, but there’s been no trace of Yun Sheng. It seems that woman is indeed dead." Elder Liu felt frustrated.
Fengdu should have had the greatest hope of securing the position of Sky Fox Saintess for the capital. Yet everything became complicated along the way.
His granddaughter Liu Xueyu was crippled, and the chosen Heavenly Fox Saintess candidate was killed by another candidate for devouring a clansman’s heart.
This incident severely damaged Elder Liu’s status in the Sky Fox Tribe; he nearly got expelled from the Sky Fox Elder Council.
At the last moment, he spent a lot of money to secure his position.
Nevertheless, the position of Heavenly Fox Saintess fell to the Youdu faction.
What was Youdu?
However, even the Great Witch Doctor sang praises for Quasi Saintess Yu Shang. As soon as auspicious time arrives tomorrow, Yu Shang would inherit the position
of Heavenly Fox Saintess.
It was a done deal, and this time, he misjudged.
"It’s all Yun Sheng’s fault; her death dragged us down. My hand will never recover. Grandfather, now that her death is confirmed, how should we deal with her allies?" Liu Xueyu gritted her teeth.
Cangdu was also gravely wounded in the candidate selection for the Heavenly Fox Saintess this time.
The only surviving candidate, Qin Yue, testified against Yun Sheng for harming fellow clansmen and, despite Qian Lang’s objections, captured Bo Bo and Little Yingying in the inn and brought them to Elder Liu’s Mansion.
Elder Liu still had a flicker of hope, thinking Yun Sheng might not yet be dead, so he imprisoned Bo Bo and Little Yingying in the secret chamber.
With the new Saintess about to assume her position and confirmation of Yun Sheng’s death, Elder Liu saw no reason to spare Bo Bo and Little Yingying’s lives.
"You mean the sheep and the human child in the secret chamber?" Elder Liu squinted his old eyes.
That damned sheep, since being captured again, has caused him quite some trouble.
"There’s no need to say more. Kill them tonight. That mixed breed caused such losses to our Fengdu faction; I’ll tear them apart." Liu Xueyu waved her left hand. Yun Sheng had caused her to lose her left hand, so she vowed to torture Yun Sheng’s Beast Pet and Medicine Gathering Boy to death.
The grandfather and granddaughter immediately headed to the secret chamber.
The secret chamber had held Bo Bo and Little Yingying for nearly two months.
"Bo Bo, Little Yingying is so tired and hungry. Are you sure Master will really come back for us?" Little Yingying nestled beside Bo Bo. During these two months, they survived through mutual encouragement and support.
When the news of Master Yun Sheng’s death arrived, Little Yingying cried for days.
They were then caught by the malicious Qin Yue and brought to the Liu Residence.
Bo Bo sheep was also stunned for days, but later on, it quietly told Little Yingying, Master wasn’t dead.
"She will come, Little Yingying. Bo Bo is the Master’s life-bound contracted beast; if she were dead, Bo Bo would also die. I believe the Master is just hiding temporarily for some reason, and she will surely come for us." Bo Bo sheep wanted to cry too; without its dear Master, those two old foxes and the crippled fox at the Liu Residence kept tormenting them.
First, they were depriving them of enough potion, and then even food was reduced.
Bo Bo is a demon beast, missing a few meals isn’t a problem, but it gave most of its food and potion to Little Yingying, suffering itself.
The door to the secret chamber opened, and Bo Bo hastily pushed Little Yingying behind itself as the nasty grandfather and granddaughter duo from Liu Residence arrived again.
