"Sold?" Lu Jin'an found it amusing in his heart.

"Yes." Xiao Li nodded: "Our Fox Clan is naturally handsome and beautiful, many young ladies or lords from the Human Clan's great families love to keep such foxes as pets, so the master sold them all. Since they are pureblood from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the master sold them for nearly ten billion Spirit Crystals."

"How much?"

"Ten, ten billion."

"..."

Lu Jin'an was at a loss for words. He had heard that fox pets were expensive, but he didn't expect them to be this expensive, it was quite an eye-opener.

"Aren't those all members of your Qiu Family?" Lu Jin'an asked, amused: "Just sell them?"

He felt it wasn't that simple, with a certain probability that they were spies placed by Qiu Qingtang.

Xiao Li blinked: "They're all master's possessions, sell them if she wants."

Lu Jin'an nodded, saying no more, and followed Xiao Li into the hall.

Upon entering, the Left Assistant Palace within his body almost fully illuminated, indicating the toxicity carried within this seductive fragrance.

Lu Jin'an quietly activated his Divine Sense to protect his Divine Soul, internally sighing at the fact that fox spirits were truly demon beasts.

Though they had become demons, they were still like animals. As long as one side emitted this unique scent, the other could smell and find their way over.

In his view, within the incense burner wafted Soul-calming Incense, and through gauzy pink curtains, a pink fox tail could be seen happily swaying.

"This servant greets Young Master Lu~"

Through the gauze, unlike her usual lively self, a voice with a touch of charm sounded, as if a warm little hand was teasing every inch of skin, making instincts completely uncontrollable.

Lu Jin'an naturally wasn't poisoned, but aside from the toxic element within the seductive fragrance, the remaining scent combined with Qiu Qingtang's voice at this moment also made it difficult for him to resist.

He slightly frowned and calmly walked to the table and took a seat, flicking his robe before pouring himself a cup of tea and taking a sip.

Then... he put the teacup down.

The tea was also tainted by the seductive fragrance, vaguely similar to the scent on Qiu Qingtang.

Lu Jin'an smirked, and then heard a crisp and pleasant bell ringing. Looking over, Qiu Qingtang lifted the gauze and stepped out, the bell on her left ankle tied with a red string chiming mellifluously with her graceful steps.

At this moment, Qiu Qingtang wore only a thin pink silk dress, her pink hair cascading to her waist, revealing glimpses of pale skin at her chest, while a slender waist and curvaceous hips and legs drew particular attention.

Especially, her legs were adorned with black and white Silk Stockings thin as cicada wings, subtly highlighting her fair skin.

Lu Jin'an's breath paused, his gaze inevitably lingering at her slender, elegantly graceful lines on her legs.

Especially the black and white dual-colored Silk Stockings, instead of conflicting, added a touch of seductive charm and refreshing appeal.

Creating a highly visual impact.

Lu Jin'an's fingers lightly caressed the rim of the tea cup as Qiu Qingtang sat beside him, with the long table obscuring part of her beautiful legs, he finally looked up at her face.

Her brows were delicate, eyes like starry lakes, a straight pristine nose beneath red lips like freshly peeled powdered lotus, her snowy cheeks to her chin were both supple and sharp, the contours of her features and face forming a pure and lovely visage.

However now, that face which appeared pure had faint blushes reminiscent of cherry blossoms, as her lashes lightly trembled, exuding an indescribably alluring and charming vibe.

'It's no wonder female fox spirits are called fox spirits for a reason.'

Lu Jin'an thought silently, no wonder many cases involved men drained by fox demons who even in death had smiles of blissful satisfaction on their faces.

Those are just ordinary fox spirits, and having slain many fox demons, Lu Jin'an knew deep down that those fox spirits could not be compared to the present Qiu Qingtang.

Qiu Qingtang, with her pure face showing such enchanting allure, was more lethal.

Lu Jin'an could clearly feel the accelerated flow of his blood within, and a barely suppressed impulse.

"You..."

Just as Lu Jin'an was about to speak, Qiu Qingtang slightly leaned forward, then deeply inhaled, her face becoming even more ravishing.

"Young Master Lu smells so good~" Qiu Qingtang's voice seemed to carry a hint of repression, followed by familiar cheeky banter: "Young Master Lu can now fish without a rod."

Lu Jin'an replied casually: "Whether the fish can be caught is uncertain, but I think the fox can definitely be lured."

"I hit the mark," Qiu Qingtang's mouth curved into a smile, unable to resist taking another deep breath.

The yang energy from his body is so fragrant~

Is this the yang energy of the strongest body cultivator in the Human Clan today?

Just by smelling it, I already feel extremely uneasy... Who exactly is in heat right now?

Qiu Qingtang lightly bit her lower lip, and at this moment, to her, Lu Jin'an was the one whose scent made her want to get closer.

Lu Jin'an observed the changes in Qiu Qingtang's expression: "Why don't you go find my Master?"

The Master can suppress the heat period, so it definitely works.

Qiu Qingtang's expression turned a bit wistful and melancholy: "I've been eagerly awaiting Young Master Lu's return~"

As she spoke, she seemed to find it hard to bear as she gently lifted her delicate, full legs, crossing them together.

The light, thin gauze skirt was thus stretched full and rounded, and the small slit at the skirt's hem enlarged, revealing the overlapping white silk beautiful leg on the left and a black silk leg. The skin at the sock opening was as smooth and delicate as congealed fat, exposed from under the table.

Her movements seemed both unintentional and deliberate, exuding an indescribable allure.

Lu Jin'an felt his hand on the table become somewhat restless, he suddenly laughed, stood up, and looked at the incense burner: "What did Xiao Li send as a message?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li's face paled, has the Wandao Sect been watching her all along?

Qiu Qingtang slightly raised her head, looking at his somewhat flushed side profile, the smile at the corner of her mouth spreading a bit more.

Although unsure if Lu Jin'an was engaging in a strategy of advance and retreat, his demeanor further compelled her.

"Seek some secret medicine from Grandma to suppress the heat period of other fox demons." Qiu Qingtang gently caressed her legs, the sound of silk stockings and skin intertwining was soft and seductive: "Your sect's Mo Yun Pavilion should know Xiao Li didn't return empty-handed."

Lu Jin'an nodded in agreement; this reasoning was plausible.

"Does Young Master Lu suspect that I would do anything against the Wandao Sect? I don't have that kind of capital, unless..."

Qiu Qingtang gave him a meaningful look, the implication clear.

Lu Jin'an smiled noncommittally, turning, looking down at her: "I'll give you a choice."

Qiu Qingtang's face showed a trace of excitement, sitting up straighter: "Please, Young Master Lu."

"The fox pets you're selling..." Lu Jin'an's voice was calm and steady: "Either the Wandao Sect could slaughter them all for you, or they could all have their Demon Storage abolished, turning them into ordinary, useless fox pets. You choose one."

Qiu Qingtang opened her mouth slightly, speaking softly: "Young Master Lu, I didn't sell those fox pets to..."

Bang!

Lu Jin'an slammed his palm onto the table, the teacup toppled over, tea spreading across the table, he bent down to meet Qiu Qingtang's pink eyes directly, expressionless: "Regardless of whether your intentions are good or bad, I will not let that group of fox demons stay.

As long as there's a remote possibility, I won't let the disaster of the Fox Clan charming the Human Clan from the past repeat in today's Human Clan!"

Xiao Li's expression changed, she rushed forward to grab Lu Jin'an's wrist, trying to pull him away, but her impure bloodline and low realm made it impossible to move Lu Jin'an.

Yet even so, a low, guttural sound escaped from her throat, loyally protecting her master.

The intense aura seemed to envelop her entirely, Qiu Qingtang stared blankly at Lu Jin'an before her, her breath slightly quickening, tears welled up in her eyes, making her appear as though she might weep.

She slightly turned her body away from Lu Jin'an's gaze, which accentuated the outline of her side, especially when compared to her slender waist, presenting a breathtaking curve like a crescent moon.

Lu Jin'an's gaze did not waver one bit, but he slowly straightened up, quietly awaiting Qiu Qingtang's response.

The male foxes sent by the Qingqiu Qiu Clan, though numbering only fifty, had excellent bloodlines, and now dispersed and sold by Qiu Qingtang, who knows what changes might occur?

And those noble families, who could afford such high prices, were no ordinary folks; if charmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To even speak with Qiu Qingtang about this indicated deep ties, otherwise, orders would have been given directly.

Qiu Qingtang took a deep breath: "Okay... then according to Young Master Lu's words, let them all be abolished, and I can even refund half the Spirit Crystals, but Young Master Lu must promise me one condition."

"Speak."

Qiu Qingtang supported herself against the table and slowly stood up, her moist pink eyes flashing with a mysterious light, as Lu Jin'an watched, she slowly untied the ropes of her gauze skirt, taking a step forward to press against Lu Jin'an.

Her body was extraordinarily warm.

"Young Master Lu promises me...to create pink memories for me, how about that?"
