807: We still lack the strength!

A lazy, charming, slightly playful, yet soul-stirringly beautiful laugh, like celestial music, abruptly rang out from the center of the explosion that still radiated terrifyingly high temperatures:

"Ahem... Old Daoist Qiu, you still haven't changed that habit of reminiscing for hundreds of years? Do you take this Empress for air?"

This voice seemed to possess magic, instantly capturing the hearts and minds of everyone present!

Within the churning white-hot energy and distorted space, a figure so graceful it was breathtaking walked out elegantly.

She wore a long dress that seemed woven from moonlight and purple clouds. As the hem fluttered, it outlined perfect curves that could make the heavens and earth lose their color. Her waist was so slender it could be held in one hand, and as she moved with lotus steps, she swayed with a grace that seemed to contain the most moving rhythm in the world.

A cascade of white hair fell to her waist, with a purple fox-tail flower emitting a dreamy glow pinned casually in her hair.

Her face could not be described with mortal words. Her skin was whiter than snow, surpassing frost and jade, so lustrous it seemed to emit light. A pair of affectionate peach-blossom eyes shimmered with a mix of anger and joy, carrying a charm that could enchant all living beings, the corners of her eyes tilting up slightly to naturally form a soul-stirring curve.

Her nose was exquisite and straight, her red lips as full as ripe cherries, with a lazy and playful smile playing at the corners.

However, the most soul-stirring part was the naturally formed golden demon mark at the center of her brow, resembling a burning flame, and behind her, nine snowy-white fox tails that swayed casually—fluffy, voluminous, and incomparably luxurious! The tip of each fox tail carried a hint of mysterious ethereal blue.

Her entire being seemed to embody the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and a seductive demonic allure—noble, lazy, charming, and dangerous! It was precisely the Sky Fox Demon Empress—Yuyi!

And at this moment, in her slender jade hand, which was as exquisite as a work of art and whiter than frost, she was holding... like a torn sack... a miniature version of the Nine Infant demon body, only a few dozen feet in size, charred all over, with broken scales, nine heads drooping limply, and an aura so weak it was almost imperceptible!

It was exactly the previously overbearing Void Refining Peak great demon, Nine Infant Chen!

If not for the faint trace of Demonic Power belonging to Nine Infant Chen still lingering on the battered demon body, perhaps no one would dare believe that this thing, looking like a broken doll that had been played with too much, was the same terrifying existence from before!

Yao Delong's gaze instantly became extremely solemn, his muscles tensed, and the Blood Qi Divine Wheel behind him faintly accelerated its rotation! The source of that terrifying Demonic Power that made him wary was indeed this peerless Demon Empress before him, who was breathtakingly beautiful yet heart-shakingly dangerous!

Qiu Yi took a step forward instantly, faintly shielding Yao Delong and the weakened Ji Yanshuang behind him. The gentle smile on his face vanished, replaced by unprecedented solemnity and vigilance. He said in a deep voice:

"Yuyi! The outcome is decided; Nine Infant Chen brought this upon himself! I advise you to take your defeated troops and return to the Demon Domain immediately! I have already messaged the Sect, and reinforcements will arrive in an instant! Although you are stronger than me, I, Qiu Yi, can still manage to hold you back for a moment or two by risking this old life of mine!"

Yuyi seemed not to hear Qiu Yi's warning. Her soul-stirring peach-blossom eyes were currently sizing up Yao Delong from head to toe with great interest and without concealment, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate his clothes and fall upon that surge of Pure Yang Blood Qi, as vast as the sea and supreme in its Yang and rigidity.

Her red lips curled into a curve enough to make any male go mad with infatuation. She extended a finger as delicate as a spring onion and pointed at Yao Delong from afar, her voice seductive to the bone:

"Little brother~~"

"This pure and majestic Origin of supreme Yang and rigid Blood Qi... Big sister really likes the smell of it..." She licked her full red lips, her eyes filled with naked greed yet also a lover-like temptation. "Why don't you come to Qingqiu as a guest? Big sister guarantees you'll be well-fed and well-housed, and no one will dare touch a single hair on your head... and I can even let you experience... a true... realm of ecstatic bliss~"

That voice carried a strange magic, piercing straight into the mind, as if countless small hands were tickling the itchiest part of one's heart. Even with Yao Delong's current willpower and Primordial Spirit cultivation, he felt his mind sway slightly, and his blood involuntarily surged faster for an instant!

He cursed inwardly: "What a powerful fox-charm technique! This demoness has indeed set her sights on my Pure Yang Essence!"

Yao Delong forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart. His eyes were cold and unmoved as he gripped the immortal slaying dark kite in his hand. If he didn't know that this demoness's strength was unfathomable and likely even above his Senior Granduncle's, he would have truly wanted to strike out with his sword and suppress this shameless fox spirit on the spot!

Hearing this, Qiu Yi flew into a rage, his hair and beard bristling as he shouted sternly: "Yuyi! Put away your tricks for deluding people! If you dare target our Dao Child again, even if I have to perish, I will make you pay the price! If you dare touch a single hair of Yao Delong, my Yin Yang Sect will surely mobilize the entire Sect to level your Qingqiu Fox Mountain! We shall fight to the death!"

"Giggle giggle..." Yuyi covered her red lips and let out a string of laughter as clear and pleasant as silver bells. She shook with laughter, and those nine snowy-white fox tails swayed along with her, full of charm.

"Old Daoist Qiu, after several hundred years, your temper is still so explosive; you can't take a joke at all~" She cast a flirtatious glance at Qiu Yi, then her gaze fell back onto Yao Delong, the interest in her eyes increasing rather than decreasing.

"Alright, alright, this Empress didn't come here today to start a war with you Humans." Yuyi waved her hand lazily, her other hand casually tossing the dying Nine Infant Chen. "Nine Infant Chen's skills were inferior, and ending up like this is his own doing. This matter ends here."

She spoke, turning as if to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Yao Delong once more. In those soul-stirring peach-blossom eyes, an unconcealed desire for possession and the excitement of a hunter looking at prey flickered. Her red lips parted slightly, and she sent a transmission filled with charm and suggestion that only Yao Delong could hear clearly:

"Good brother~~ Big sister's words always hold true..."

"Big sister... likes you more and more..."

"When you've thought it through, big sister's place has the... Supreme Wondrous Realm that will truly make you... ecstatic and lose your soul... Giggle giggle..."

Those provocative bold and explicit 'wolf-and-tiger words,' accompanied by a burst of bone-softening laughter, were like demonic music entering the ears, piercing deep into Yao Delong's mind.

Yao Delong: "..."

His mouth couldn't help but twitch, and a vein throbbed slightly on his forehead. Facing this powerful, bold, and unconventional peerless demoness who spoke so explicitly, even with his experience and Heart-Nature, he felt quite unable to cope, left only with a heart full of helplessness and... a trace of annoyance at being toyed with.

"Strength! It's still a lack of strength!" Yao Delong gritted his teeth and thought to himself, his desire to become stronger becoming more intense than ever before. "If I were in the Body Integration realm, I would definitely let this arrogant fox spirit know what 'ecstatic bliss' really means today! Let's see if she still dares to be so insolent!"

He could only forcibly suppress the surging anger and a trace of inexplicable heat in his heart, watching expressionlessly as Yuyi's fleeting, beautiful figure, carrying Nine Infant Chen's broken body, vanished silently into the spatial ripples like melting moonlight.
