Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce-Chapter 131: Episode 1.10 Sighs

"Understood, Leader Shen!" Wen Huian squeaked. She couldn’t explain the emotion brewing inside her. She wanted to cry, but at the same time, she felt like she was on cloud nine.

Shen Yuan pointed out the hard work that no one could recognize and complimented her. This never happens since people tend to associate her skills with her being an alpha. It was frustrating to be defined by one’s secondary gender.

But Shen Yuan suddenly came and looked at her without prejudice and recognized her efforts. For Wen Huian, this is the best commendation she received so far.

She looked at Shen Yuan with gratitude and made a promise only she knew. She will be stronger and help this omega in every way she can.

Wen Huian swears that she will be the most reliable member of Shen Yuan in the future.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan looked at the only beta in his group.

"Hmmm," Shen Yuan subjected the beta to a direct staring. He made it to the point that the man was fidgeting uncomfortably. Suddenly, the atmosphere turned tense.

Even Xia Jinhai, who’s known for his unwavering composure, was discreetly swallowing his saliva. On the other hand, Mo Zhu was not making eye contact with Shen Yuan. Body pain coupled with a humiliating defeat, he would have run away from this place.

However, he decided to grit his teeth and wait to see Bai Tingfeng.

"Your name," Shen Yuan asked, his expression pensive.

"I’m Hu Feng, Leader Shen," Hu Feng didn’t know what he should expect to hear. He’s the only one who had little engagement with Shen Yuan. Unlike the others, he only attacked Shen Yuan once he saw an opening.

"Hu Feng..." Shen Yuan trailed off.

He asked his son, "What do you think of Brother Hu Feng, Yanyan? Do you like him?"

The five-year-old innocently blinked at his father and then looked at the tensed Hu Feng. Yanyan then trailed his sight on his daddy’s arms as though looking for something.

"Only a little."

Hu Feng lowered his head in despair. This child is one of the important people they need to protect, so if Yanyan doesn’t like him, then there’s a possibility that Shen Yuan will drop him.

"I would dislike him if he injured you, but since Daddy is tougher and you’re unharmed, Yanyan likes Brother Hu Feng. Only a little."

Anyone who heard that gawked at the little boy. The battle earlier was chaotic, yet this kid spotted that difference. Even Hu Feng was gaping because that instance was only a nick of time. If he’s not the one who did it, then he would have a hard time spotting it despite his advanced visual acuity, thanks to his heteromorphic ability as a mystical eagle.

Shen Yuan snickered and smiled with pride. "Well, you heard my son. Hu Feng is capable of slipping through my defenses. He’s like a predator in the wild. He knows when to strike and when to retreat to keep himself safe. I’m an idiot if I let such a smart, competent person go."

"Thank you, Leader Shen!" The beta humbly bowed his head, and when he raised it, he took a deep breath that expanded his shoulders. Finally, Shen Yuan recognized him!

Shen Yuan smiled. In his opinion, Hu Feng is the most well-rounded fighter among the ones he fought, Gu Jinpeng and Mo Zhu included. He has good judgment during the fights, has a good view of what is happening, and—in his assumption— has the best understanding of their power. But just like the other, the celestial fox spirit could spot Hu Feng’s shortcomings, all thanks to his wisdom.

"You would be my favorite, Hu Feng if you only acted a little more aggressively. However, it seems that you’re slightly conscious of the vulnerability of your transformation. You forgot to take advantage of the protective talisman that I gave you."

Hu Feng was stunned. Right! The protective talisman! Now that he remembered it, he realized that the piece of paper saved him from Shen Yuan’s throw! He thought that his body pain was caused by the fall that he suffered, but now that he thinks deeply about it, that shouldn’t be the case!

He fell on top of the tree and remained suspended there for some time, which must have caused pain in his limbs and torso!

Shen Yuan then meaningfully added, "You’re lucky because the entire sky is your playground. If you only learned how to play around it, then..."

Hu Feng religiously waited for Shen Yuan to continue, but the omega only smiled cryptically.

The celestial fox spirit didn’t intend to continue his words because, just like what he said, this Hu Feng is an intelligent, critical thinker. It will be best if he figures things out on his own.

Shen Yuan took his time to assess and point out the parts where these team members were lacking because he knew that things would get complicated as they went on. Haichong is just a pawn that hasn’t climbed the ranks of the Cardinals, so the people in authority must be even more competent than a young S-Class awakener. Hence, he needed these agents to be stronger.

"Well, all in all. It seems like I needed to thank Chairman Mao for sending these guys on my path," Shen Yuan shifted his seat and prepared himself to stand up with Yanyan in his arms when his sight landed on Mo Zhu.

The red-haired omega’s face was no longer wounded or bruised due to that healing flame that he used. But the expression... Mo Zhu looked like he was undergoing a financially straining and stressful divorce.

He shamelessly looked at the omega and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Ha..."

He snappily turned his face to stop staring at the miserable omega. He was supposed to call Gu Jinpeng to grill the former assassin for his mistakes, but Mo Zhu’s annoying voice called him.

"Hey, Shen Yuan! What’s with your sigh? Do you think you have the right to walk over me just because you won? You might marry into the Bai Family, but I belong to the Mo Family! Of all the awakeners in this world, I’m one of the rare omegas who possess the blood blessing of the vermillion bird!"

Mo Zhu had been brewing with frustrations since earlier, and because of Shen Yuan’s perceived impertinence, his lid just blew all over. His vision turned dark—something natural to happen to anyone facing frustration and desperation.

He has forgotten the fact that the one he’s yelling at is capable of slapping the sniper gun on his face.

Shen Yuan’s nonchalant face suddenly darkened, and his eyes looked like he was about to pounce at someone.
