Chapter 165: The Rebellion of the Fox Clan's Holy Maiden: Master, You've Grabbed the Wrong Fur!

Northern Core, Fox Tribe Forbidden Ground — Ten Thousand Fox Cave.

Unlike the desolation of the fortress, this place was filled with an eerie prosperity.

Pink peach blossom forests bloomed in the extreme cold, a microclimate maintained by the Fox Tribe's great Formation.

A pitch-black micro-aircraft hovered silently in mid-air.

"Jiang Chen, this is the Holy Land of the Fox Tribe." Mu Qingxue held binoculars, her expression grave. "The 'Thousand Fox Illusion Formation' ahead was personally set up by the Fox Ancestor. If a Grandmaster falls into it, they will instantly be lost in a sea of desire..."

"Sea of desire?"

Jiang Chen sat in the aircraft's spacious leather chair, holding Iliya, who was on the verge of tears.

He closed his eyes and gently pulled with his fingers in the Void Realm.

【Skill: Dream Displacement · Demolition.】

"In my dream, all illusion Formations... are just low-quality projection backdrops."

Jiang Chen waved his hand casually, as if wiping a dusty piece of glass.

"Buzz—!"

That endless peach blossom illusion Formation, which made countless powerhouses recoil, collapsed under this single wave as if a "cancel button" had been pressed. Large swathes of pink mist disintegrated, revealing the withered branches and leaves beneath, along with the Fox Tribe priests who were stunned and hadn't even had time to cast spells.

"This... what kind of method is this?!" Iliya was dumbfounded. She knew how powerful her tribe's Formation was, but in front of Jiang Chen, it was like a drawing by a three-year-old being torn apart effortlessly.

"Too noisy. The frequency of these Formations is too high; it's giving me a headache."

Jiang Chen yawned and directed the aircraft to crash straight into the central Holy Palace. "Let's go, time to pluck some hair. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back to sleep. The oxygen content in the air out here is too low, it's affecting my brain's oxygen supply."

Deep within the Ten Thousand Fox Holy Palace.

A huge nine-tailed fox statue, pure white and exuding terrifying Demonic Qi, was slowly opening its eyes.

That was no statue; it was the Fox Tribe's ancestor who had lived for nearly a thousand years—Bai Suyi.

Although she was a demon, she had attained a human form. At this moment, she wore silver robes, her appearance charming yet carrying a cold pride that commanded respect without anger.

"What sacred being dares to trespass into my Fox Tribe's Forbidden Ground?!"

Bai Suyi's voice was like a silver bell, but it contained a mental shockwave capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"Um... Grandma, stop shouting."

Jiang Chen walked in, carrying the star dream emperor pillow, looking nonchalant.

He was followed by three stunning beauties; the scene didn't look like a provocation, but rather like bringing girlfriends to the zoo.

"What did you call me?!" As a half-step War God who dominated the Northern Territory, when had Bai Suyi ever been called Grandma? She was so angry that her originally flat chest heaved violently.

"Grandma, let's discuss something."

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples, his gaze locked on the area under Bai Suyi's armpit. "I see your fur color is quite good, excellent quality. Can you lend me a few strands of your underarm fur? My bed collapsed, and I urgently need your 'Saint-Grade insulating Materials' as padding."

The whole place fell into dead silence.

The Fox Tribe priests felt their hands and feet go cold.

Crazy.

This human was truly crazy.

Not only did he trespass into the Holy Land, but he actually wanted to pluck the Old Ancestor's armpit hair in public?!

What kind of perversion was this! What kind of blasphemy!

"Die!!!" Bai Suyi completely lost her composure. She waved her right hand, and the sky full of fox fire turned into countless shrill, vengeful spirits, rushing towards Jiang Chen. "I will make you suffer the pain of ten thousand cycles of Reincarnation in the 'Mortal World Hell'!"

Facing an illusionary sea of fire that could make a Great Grandmaster sink instantly, Jiang Chen didn't dodge; instead, he comfortably closed his eyes.

"Hmm... the temperature is just right, nice and warm, perfect for a bath."

【Ding! Detected high concentration of negative emotional energy flow.】

【System automatic conversion: Converted to 'Sauna' mode.】

【host current status: Enjoying.】

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the moment the sky full of fox fire touched Jiang Chen's body, it automatically turned into a layer of pink steam, and Jiang Chen stretched comfortably in the steam.

"Is that it?"

Jiang Chen opened his eyes, purple-gold light flashing across his pupils.

"Since you're playing with fire, let me teach you what a 'real dream' is."

"Domain expansion—Empress's Judgment!"

Boom!

The scene of the entire Holy Palace collapsed instantly.

The originally magnificent building disappeared, replaced by that deep, cold, and grand bone palace.

Bai Suyi discovered with horror that her proud Demonic Qi was suppressed here. She had actually regressed to her original form—a small white fox the size of a palm, shivering and curled up under the throne.

And Jiang Chen was sitting on the throne, holding a pair of... small tweezers that shimmered with cold light.

"Grandma, will you pluck it yourself, or should I help you?" Jiang Chen showed a nuclear-friendly smile.

"Ying ying ying! (You pervert!)" The little white fox let out a desperate scream.

"Jiang Chen... wait!"

Iliya, who had been following behind, couldn't help it anymore. Seeing her Old Ancestor scared like that, her heart ached.

"I... I am willing to contribute my own vital fur! Please stop torturing the Old Ancestor!"

Iliya blushed, gritted her teeth, and stepped forward, slowly opening her arms in front of Jiang Chen, revealing that flash of snow-white skin.

"You are a Saintess, your fur isn't soft enough." Jiang Chen examined her critically. "However... it has the advantage of being fresh."

Just then, Bai Suyi seemed to sense the aura belonging to the Empress on Jiang Chen. Her pupils contracted sharply, and then she revealed an extremely complex expression.

"You... you have the aura of that Great One on you?"

Bai Suyi transformed back into her human form, only now she no longer had her previous arrogance, but instead bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.

"If it is to recast 'that bed', then this old woman's few strands of hair, I give them to you. But you must promise me to protect the spark of my Fox Tribe in this catastrophe."

Jiang Chen was stunned, then grinned: "You should have said so earlier, making everyone so unhappy. I'm a very reasonable person."

He waved his hand, and amidst the extremely shameful expression of the Fox Tribe's Old Ancestor, he accurately took nine strands of golden vital fur.

【Ding! Obtained core Materials: Nine-tailed Fox Ancestor Fur x9.】

【Unlocked skill: Divine Sense Mimicry. Your snoring can now transform into fox cries, having a stronger calming effect.】

"Let's go, the Materials are collected."

Jiang Chen yawned and casually fished Iliya back.

"Since your Old Ancestor has entrusted you to me, then from now on... you are officially promoted to a 'portable accessory'. Remember, keep your tail groomed every day; I don't like pillows that poke my face."

At sunset, Jiang Chen left swaggeringly with three (and a half) women and a bag of precious fur, under the awe-filled and absurd gazes of the Fox Tribe.

Tonight, the flames of war in the Northern Territory were temporarily extinguished.

Because that Sleep God of Great Xia had finally gathered all the Materials needed for a good dream.
