But she couldn’t wait that long; what Xue Yinzhou lacked most was time.
Oh, if only Shen Li were here.
That thieving fox was originally from the Divine Fox Clan; he loved studying ancient texts and learned things quickly. He surely could find the needed information faster.
Speaking of Shen Li, he’s been gone for almost a month now and still hasn’t returned.
Hope nothing’s happened to him?
Shen Tang felt a hint of worry pass through her heart and took out the Little Fox jade pendant from the space. Upon close inspection, a small flame was quietly burning inside.
Sunlight fell outside the window, casting glittering light and shadows over the desk and paper pages from the pendant.
Before Shen Li left, he sealed a strand of his origin power within the fox pendant so that she wouldn’t worry.
If something happened to him, the fire inside the pendant would extinguish.
But now, this strand of Fox Fire was still burning well; he surely was fine.
Shen Tang’s lips curved into a faint smile, and she refocused on the ancient texts with the elder scholars, searching for all records related to the Parasite Clan.
...
Meanwhile, Xue Yinzhou was also staying in the palace to recuperate, and the servants treated him with utmost respect.
But of course, he heard those whispers and knew that the "Clan Leader" they referred to was that fox, Shen Li.
His eyes darkened slightly, and a complex emotion flashed across his cold and beautiful face.
Unexpectedly, Shen Li was here too.
And it seemed Tangtang had already met him; were they... together all along?
Yet he only met her so late.
A surge of faint jealousy suddenly rose in Xue Yinzhou’s heart, as if a subtle Black Fog floated around him, and a cold, hoarse voice seemed to whisper near his ear,
"See, even without you, she’s living well."
"She has someone she loves by her side; you’re not even significant."
"Shen Li can protect her, give her everything she wants. And you? You’re nothing but a stray dog now... dragging her down."
"You can’t even fully awaken the power of the Bone of Devouring, and yet she must save you, must run around for you. As a male, aren’t you ashamed?"
"Once you possess the complete Bone of Devouring, you can rid yourself of that damn Tumor Gu and become the strongest in the world. Then she can live peacefully under your protection, never worrying about anyone hurting her again."
The Black Fog seemed to have a life of its own as it threaded into his body, the voice becoming more seductive:
"...Once she no longer needs anyone else, you can deal with them and keep your female to yourself."
