After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 269 - Since I Accepted Your Gift, Am I One of Your People Now?

Chapter 269: Since I Accepted Your Gift, Am I One of Your People Now?

“So, Ye Qingchuan was guilty first, then you killed him to uphold justice, and you also reached an agreement with that He Yuan, not exposing his identity as a demonic cultist to the Fox Clan people...?”

In the ruins of the Fox Clan territory, Chen Sheng listened carefully to Yan Ruyu’s entire explanation.

The dragon-faced girl crossed her arms and looked serious, finding the matter too strange to believe.

The story Yan Ruyu told was bizarre.

A demonic cultist traveled from the north to the south, exposed Ye Qingchuan’s true nature, saved the Fox Clan people and the Fox Clan Saintess, and even won the recognition and love of the entire Fox Clan, impressing even the White Dragon Saintess, who should have been his enemy...

Hearing this, even Chen Sheng was impressed and wary.

Impressed because He Yuan seemed capable of anything.

Wary because He Yuan was a villain, and the more he acted like a righteous hero, the more unsettling it was, since no one knew what he truly wanted.

Thinking this, Chen Sheng sighed.

Now that Ye Qingchuan was dead, Chen Sheng’s mission was technically complete, and she had no reason to stay in the Fox Clan territory.

But having come all this way without doing anything, feeling like an outsider, was frustrating.

Moreover, after hearing Yan Ruyu’s description, Chen Sheng became very interested in He Yuan.

With such an interesting villain nearby, how could Chen Sheng bear to leave?

Chen Sheng smiled, her thoughts mysterious:

“So, our Xiao Yu was also charmed and became one of He Yuan’s little fans?”

Even though Yan Ruyu had already confessed, the True Dragon girl couldn’t help but tease the naive little dragon girl.

As expected, when the word “like” was mentioned, the White Dragon girl’s face turned red again.

Yan Ruyu bit her lip, her dragon eyes resentful.

Remembering how Chen Sheng used to tease her as a child, Yan Ruyu turned away in annoyance:

“Chen Sheng, stop joking around. I’m the Sea Saintess of the White Dragon Clan. How could I be interested in a demonic cultist?”

“Besides, He Yuan nearly ambushed me in the northern border. I should be resenting him!”

The White Dragon girl’s voice was cold, her brows furrowed in disdain, as if talking about an enemy.

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow, her dragon eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.

She leaned in close to Yan Ruyu’s ear.

“Since he’s your enemy, should I help you kill him?”

“Huh?”

“Why so surprised? I brought Elder Langya with me this time. Killing a junior from the Spirit Phoenix Sect is as easy as saying a word.”

Chen Sheng’s tone was light, not taking He Yuan seriously at all.

But Yan Ruyu was anxious.

Elder Langya, who served as Chen Sheng’s protector, was the Grand Elder of the Supreme Dragon Dynasty who had assisted generations of Dragon Emperors! Now retired from politics, Elder Langya was highly respected in the Dragon Dynasty and always treated as an honored guest by the dragon clans.

His power was immeasurable, and even the Empress respected him!

Now in his old age, Elder Langya had no hobbies except to take care of his late friend’s daughter.

And that daughter was Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng was Elder Langya’s treasure. If she asked for someone’s death, Elder Langya wouldn’t hesitate!

If Chen Sheng said the word, He Yuan might not live to see tomorrow!

“Chen Sheng! You can’t kill him!”

Yan Ruyu’s expression turned serious, even threatening, not allowing refusal.

“Why not?”

Chen Sheng asked curiously. “What spell did He Yuan cast on you to make you protect him so much?”

“He...”

Yan Ruyu fell silent again.

She wanted to say that He Ange had saved her, so she couldn’t let her savior be killed.

But Yan Ruyu couldn’t admit that. As the White Dragon Clan Saintess, being saved by a demonic cultist would bring shame and reprimands from the elders...

After a moment’s hesitation, Yan Ruyu found a suitable excuse:

“Right now, He Yuan is the most beloved hero of the entire Fox Clan. If you try to assassinate him, you’ll incur their wrath! The Fox Clan has just been invaded and is in a sensitive, emotional state... Chen Sheng, you’re the princess of the Supreme Dragon Dynasty. I advise you to behave carefully here and not tarnish the Dragon Dynasty’s image!”

“...”

Chen Sheng hesitated but was reluctantly persuaded.

Even in the cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, reason still mattered.

In the Fox Clan’s territory, Chen Sheng really couldn’t act recklessly.

She sighed and smiled. “You’ve grown wiser over the years, Xiao Yu, knowing how to defend your beloved reasonably.”

“Chen Sheng, don’t twist my words!”

Yan Ruyu was smarter this time and didn’t take the bait. “Also, don’t call me by my childhood name. We’re not that close.”

“Alright, alright~”

Chen Sheng shrugged, her fun spoiled, and her smile faded.

She waved and turned to leave.

“Xiao Yu, you’re no fun as you grow up. I have other things to do, so I won’t tease you anymore.”

“Where are you going?”

“To play with your He Yuan.”

......

After the battle with the Ghost Controlling Sect, He Ange had firmly established himself in the Fox Clan.

On the surface, the Fox Clan was still an ally of the Dragon Dynasty. But in reality, with the Saintess Xia Zhiyue corrupted, the Fox Clan’s loyalty was secretly to He Ange.

Since He Ange was undermining the Dragon Dynasty, he wouldn’t be stingy with benefits.

Days ago, seeing the Fox Clan’s devastated state, He Ange had sent a letter to the Liu Family’s cloth shop in Yong’an City.

Calculating the time, Liu Moqing should have arrived today.

“Saintess, there are carriages from the Liu Family of the capital outside the border...”

“The Liu Family?”

In the Saintess Palace, several elders reported to Xia Zhiyue about the foreign visitors.

Hearing of outsiders, Xia Zhiyue was instinctively wary. But seeing He Ange’s smile beside her, she understood immediately.

“Let them in.”

Xia Zhiyue sighed, and the elders obeyed and left.

Soon, many heavily loaded carriages entered the Fox Clan.

Under the curious and uneasy gazes of the Fox Clan people, staff from the Liu Family began unloading supplies—food, clothing, tents...

Then, the door of the lead carriage opened, and under the protection of several Deity Transformation Realm cultivators, a young woman in a green dress stepped out.

The woman was dressed simply, her demeanor gentle, her clothes exquisitely designed, looking like a low-key young lady.

Under her direction, many Fox Clan people gathered, and the staff began distributing supplies.

Soon, the Fox Clan people were full of praise and warmly welcoming, many giving local specialties in return, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

“The Liu Family is a top-tier cloth shop in Huaxia, with a single piece of clothing costing hundreds of silver. You actually got them to distribute supplies for free here in the Fox Clan... He Ange, I’m starting to think you’re an omnipotent man.”

Watching the harmonious scene of humans and foxes outside, Xia Zhiyue sighed, once again impressed by He Ange.

He Ange placed his hand on the white fox’s tail, gently stroking the sensitive root.

“You know it. Be grateful to your master.”

“...!”

Xia Zhiyue trembled all over, extremely sensitive.

He Ange’s technique had become more refined.

After playing with the fox sisters’ tails recently, He Ange had mastered a perfect method to pleasure them.

Now, with Xia Zhiyue standing on the balcony, the Fox Clan people and the Liu Family’s carriages below, being touched in public made Xia Zhiyue’s skin more sensitive than usual.

The thought of her people and the Liu Family seeing her, the Fox Clan Saintess, in such a state made her tremble with excitement, her face reddening.

“Don’t hide.”

Noticing Xia Zhiyue’s nine tails trying to avoid him, He Ange’s voice turned cold.

It was like a command to the soul.

With his words, Xia Zhiyue’s tails obediently lay still, letting He Ange stroke them from root to tip.

“Come here, lean against this, let me finish.”

He Ange smiled brightly.

“You...!”

Xia Zhiyue’s face turned redder. She glared at He Ange but approached the balcony railing, obediently raising her tail to expose her rear to He Ange.

Soon, Xia Zhiyue buried her face in her arms, too embarrassed to face anyone.

“He Ange... are you done yet? What if someone sees...”

The white fox trembled, her delicate white feet on tiptoe, her toes curling, her whole body straining to endure.

He Ange sighed.

“Xia Zhiyue, after all this time, you still can’t endure as well as your sister. Is it because your status as the Fox Clan Saintess makes you unable to let go?”

“Huh? Who says I can’t endure as well as Xia Ranyue!”

Mentioning her little sister, the white fox stiffened, her voice more determined.

Strange competitiveness increases.jpg

He Ange smiled.

“Your sister can handle a full set of tail stroking without losing control.”

“Tsk...”

The white fox snorted softly, gritting her teeth to focus on enduring.

She leaned on the railing, trembling, but because she squeezed her legs tightly, the pleasure was blocked, unable to reach its peak.

Just as Xia Zhiyue was about to endure He Ange’s full set of tail strokes, a gentle woman’s voice came from behind her.

“Ange, long time no see! The supplies you asked for are here.”

“!!!”

Who?

The unfamiliar voice startled the white fox, and her carefully maintained defenses collapsed, unable to resist the pleasure.

She tried to endure, but it was too late.

“Hmm—!”

As the nine-tailed fox’s legs stretched out, her feet arched, she trembled and was about to cry out. But He Ange skillfully pinched the root of her tail.

Xia Zhiyue wanted to climax, but the pleasure was cut off, unable to reach its peak.

“Ange... what are you doing?”

Liu Moqing looked at the trembling white fox on the balcony and the young man behind her, tilting her head curiously.

Meanwhile, He Ange pinched Xia Zhiyue’s tail and turned to the green-dressed girl with a smile.

“Long time no see, Moqing.”

“We were just discussing Fox Clan supplies. Ah, the Saintess was saying how grateful she is for the Liu Family traveling so far to bring aid!”

“Right, Saintess?”

At the end, He Ange slightly released Xia Zhiyue’s tail.

Immediately, Xia Zhiyue trembled, standing on tiptoe, her feet arched. Though her back was to Liu Moqing, she nodded vigorously.

“Saintess...?”

Liu Moqing found the nine-tailed fox’s posture strange and raised an eyebrow, sensing something amiss.

Seeing the risk of exposure, He Ange shrugged.

“The Saintess is busy speaking to the people below... Sorry, Moqing, Elder Xuan Que will take you to the guest quarters. The Saintess and I will join you after our discussion.”

“Ah, okay!”

Liu Moqing was a simple girl.

Having lost her cultivation and now a mortal, she had no extravagant expectations of He Ange.

She was just glad he remembered her as a friend. Without He Ange’s clothing designs and techniques, her shop wouldn’t be as successful as it was now.

“Miss Moqing, this way.”

Xuan Que’s figure appeared in the void and led Liu Moqing away.

After they left, He Ange turned to the trembling white fox.

Before he could speak, Xia Zhiyue spoke coldly.

“He Ange, you did this to me. You must take responsibility today.”

The nine-tailed fox’s voice was cold, but if you listened carefully, it trembled slightly.

He Ange raised an eyebrow and looked down. Between her arched feet, he saw a barely noticeable stream of fluid dripping down her legs.

At the same time, her nine white tails wagged slightly.

Was she... excited?

“We have guests to meet later. I’ll take responsibility tonight.” He Ange, sensing trouble, tried to delay.

But the white fox was firm. “No, now.”

“...?”

Before He Ange could react.

In an instant, the nine tails formed a circle, and an Abyssal Moon Pupil appeared behind Xia Zhiyue. He Ange was caught off guard, his consciousness taken by the kaleidoscopic illusion.

Xia Zhiyue’s illusions could even deceive Void God Realm Azure Dragon protectors, a true pinnacle of illusionary arts.

He Ange naturally recognized its value.

This was bad.

He had underestimated her...

“He Ange, the Fox Clan is still under my domain-level formation. Even if you are my master, once caught in my illusion, you can’t use your master’s authority!”

“Master~ Do you like touching my tail?”

Gently stroking the young man’s frozen face, the nine-tailed fox smiled seductively. Dragging her dripping dress, she finally captured her master and took him to a dark room.

After that, He Ange never dared to touch Xia Zhiyue’s tail again.

Unlike An Luo Yi, who, despite her power, could be controlled by He Ange through the Phoenix Mark, Xia Zhiyue was a fox skilled in illusions.

If Xia Zhiyue struck first with her Moon Pupil, He Ange would be helpless and could only be toyed with...

He Ange admitted he couldn’t handle Xia Zhiyue.

If he thought about it, the white fox’s tail wasn’t that great—just white fur, not as comforting as the little fox’s orange-red tail...

He Ange tried to console himself.

But for some reason, in public, Xia Zhiyue liked to stand in front of He Ange, proudly displaying her nine snow-white tails.

For He Ange, those tails were like a cat seeing a teasing stick.

He couldn’t resist and fell into Xia Zhiyue’s trap again while distributing supplies to the Fox Clan villagers...

......

After being repeatedly outwitted by Xia Zhiyue, He Ange learned his lesson.

To prevent the white fox from rebelling, He Ange kept Xia Ranyue by his side. With the nine-tailed sisters’ illusions neutralizing each other, He Ange no longer had to worry about being defeated by Xia Zhiyue.

Thus, during He Ange’s conversation with Liu Moqing, the room seemed peaceful, but behind He Ange, eighteen fox tails of the two foxes were secretly fighting.

At night, He Ange took Liu Moqing to tour the Fox Clan alone. When discussing serious matters, he preferred quiet.

“He Ange, what are your plans for the future? How can I, a mortal, help you?”

Liu Moqing’s voice was low and self-deprecating.

He Ange took a deep breath.

“Moqing, don’t underestimate yourself. There’s much you can do, like helping the Fox Clan’s economy recover...”

“Will there be many more places like the Fox Clan in the future?” Liu Moqing blinked, envisioning a grand plan.

He Ange smiled. “Of course. Maybe one day, you’ll manage all business in the Dragon Dynasty?”

“—?!” Hearing such treasonous words, Liu Moqing’s eyes widened. As a mortal, she couldn’t imagine the future He Ange described.

“Just kidding.”

He Ange shrugged.

Recalling the sealed Abyssal Phoenix from his past life, He Ange looked up at the moon and sighed.

“It’s not that I want to rebel, but the Empress is forcing me.”

From now on, the Empress wanted Feng Yuan dead.

But if he didn’t comply, the Empress still wanted Feng Yuan dead.

And Feng Yuan was He Ange’s revered master.

Otherwise, He Ange wouldn’t mind working for the Empress in the Dragon Dynasty, given its vast resources and her desire for talented individuals.

But now, He Ange had no choice.

The Dragon-Phoenix conflict could span from the upper to the lower realms. The millennia-old blood feud between Feng Yuan and Chen Long couldn’t be resolved by a reincarnator like He Ange.

Either He Ange supported Feng Yuan to overthrow the Dragon Dynasty and kill the Empress.

Or He Ange stood above both Feng Yuan and Chen Long, suppressing them.

But either way, power and resources were essential.

“By the way, Moqing, to prevent any trouble for you in the Fox Clan, I’ll give you some puppets and artifacts for protection.”

He Ange thought of something important and summoned three Void Refining Realm bridal puppets, generously giving them to Liu Moqing.

These items, though valuable, were not as precious as Liu Moqing’s life to He Ange.

“But I have no cultivation now. I can’t use these puppets...”

The green-dressed girl blushed, having never seen such valuable gifts in her life.

These beautifully dressed humanoid puppets each had power surpassing most immortal sect elders.

Together, they could easily destroy a small sect!

“Don’t worry, they have soul cores. They’ll protect you intelligently, and you can give them simple commands.”

Seeing Liu Moqing’s incredulous look, He Ange felt a sense of accomplishment.

This was thanks to Li Xuan’s remains.

From the Ghost Controlling Sect’s techniques, He Ange learned to control souls and installed them into the bridal puppets.

Thus, the bridal puppets combined the essence of undead and puppet arts, becoming fully automated, mass-producible war machines!

“He Ange...”

At some point, Liu Moqing lowered her head, her voice shy and soft.

“What’s wrong?” He Ange asked curiously.

The green-dressed girl bit her lip, gathered courage, and looked up at He Ange, her pure face smiling brilliantly.

“He Ange, if I accept your puppets and work for you in the Dragon Dynasty, does that make me a member of the Spirit Phoenix Sect?”
