301: Chapter 301 The Jade Fox Clan's "Illness"

Ling Hao did not push Tushan Bailing away from his embrace. Feeling her burning, delicate body and rapid heartbeat, he raised an eyebrow slightly and said playfully, "Clan Chief Bailing, what is the meaning of this… what are you trying to do?"

Tushan Bailing buried her face in his neck, her voice panting slightly, "This is… a unique illness of my Jade Fox Clan… that flares up every few years… Trapped in this dead zone for decades… I have endured for too long… I really… really cannot suppress it any longer… Supreme, you are the only… medicine…"

Ling Hao looked at her, unable to control her passion, her alluring eyes misty, and he chuckled in understanding.

Just as he had expected, the season of "spring" had arrived. It was just that, given the current environment…

He looked around at the Small World, which was accelerating toward collapse due to the disappearance of the True Immortal blood, a scene of darkness and ruin.

"Let there be light."

Following Ling Hao's soft whisper, a brilliant spiritual pearl rose from his palm, its light instantly dispelling the darkness for a thousand miles, illuminating the broken mountains and rivers as if it were daytime.

Ling Hao lowered his head, a wicked curve touching the corners of his lips. He gently lifted Tushan Bailing's chin with his finger, looking straight into her glistening eyes.

"So… Clan Chief Bailing feels lonely and needs someone to keep you company to relieve the boredom, is that it?"

The arms Tushan Bailing had wrapped around his neck suddenly tightened, and she replied, "Mmm…"

Ling Hao laughed heartily, a glimmer in his eyes. "Good! Although we are temporarily trapped here, this ready-made thousand-mile Small World is an excellent… place to tour. Clan Chief Bailing, would you like to join me for a tour?"

"Mmm~"

Within the "Small" World, Ling Hao and Tushan Bailing were the size of giants.

Ling Hao stepped onto the ground of Buzhou Divine Jade, holding Tushan Bailing as he walked toward the nearest large river.

Tushan Bailing's delicate, jade-like feet had shed their shoes and socks, hanging down and hovering slightly above the ground. Only her rounded toes curled and stretched from time to time, swaying gently like a swing.

"Ah!"

As they walked, a spot on Tushan Bailing's body was scratched by a thick tree branch, and a drop of fresh blood fell into the dust, kicking up a small cloud.

"Are you alright?!"

"I'm… I'm fine…"

Entering the river, the water was bone-chillingly cold, washing over Ling Hao's ankles.

Before Ling Hao, as soon as Tushan Bailing's feet touched the water's surface, the cold sensation made her toes curl sharply, her arches instantly tensing into an alluring curve, her fair skin glistening in the light of the spiritual pearl.

After adapting, those jade feet began to unconsciously kick up splashes, creating ripples and stirring the murky river water.

Ling Hao held her steadily and continued forward, letting the river water wash over them.

"How is the temperature? Does it meet with Clan Chief Bailing's satisfaction?"

Tushan Bailing wrapped her arms tighter around him, her voice trembling, "The temperature is acceptable… but the flowing water is endless, continuous… it is quite tormenting…"

Those jade feet, hanging in the air, drifted softly with the current, her ankles unconsciously drawing circles, creating tiny whirlpools.

"Does Clan Chief Bailing feel any discomfort?"

Tushan Bailing's voice was resentful as she chided him by his ear, "Supreme… are you… are you unwilling… to use a little more strength? Leaving me with nowhere to exert my own."

Hearing this, Ling Hao chuckled, "Alright! Since it is Clan Chief Bailing's personal request…"

Before he finished speaking, his arms exerted force, lifting her entire delicate body up a few inches.

Those jade feet that had been splashing in the water suddenly left the surface, bringing up a string of crystalline water droplets.

"Ah—!" Tushan Bailing let out a short cry of surprise, followed by a heavier intake of breath, "Supreme… please… please don't bite my ears…"

Ling Hao's lips lingered by her sensitive ear, feeling those fiery red fox ears tremble slightly under his breath, and he teased, "Sorry, watching them twitch like that is just… strangely cute."

The light of the spiritual pearl shone upon this collapsing thousand-mile world. Wherever their tour took them, the scene of broken mountains and rivers became even more severe.

On the summit of a flat-topped mountain, the two sat down to rest. Unfortunately, not long after, the massive golden mountain collapsed with a roar, broken chunks of gold rolling into the deep valley with a dull, thunderous sound.

On a vast grassland carpeted with some kind of strange Spiritual Plant, two figures intertwined and rolled. Wherever they passed, the emerald Spiritual Plants were crushed in large swathes, the fertile soil was plowed into deep gullies, and even the edge of the nearby forest suffered, with several trees snapped in half by an invisible force and crashing to the ground.

They swept past a dry riverbed, the debris remaining on the riverbed peeling off with a rustle in the tremors; they approached a precarious, tottering lonely peak, the boulders at the summit disintegrating and sliding down amidst the violent energy fluctuations…

They were like two heedless god-like giants frolicking, every step and every movement leaving deeper wounds in this Small World that was already on the verge of its limit.

Ling Hao's gaze swept over the trampled forest nearby, and his heart stirred. The two arrived above the forest. Ling Hao stretched his hand out forcefully, "Let there be rain!"

Heavy rain fell, nourishing the forest land, causing some new green to actually sprout.

A long time later. On a relatively flat piece of ground, a soft blanket, taken from who knows where, was spread out.

Ling Hao half-reclined, while Tushan Bailing nestled lazily in his arms, her fair skin flushed with pink, her fiery red fox tail unconsciously sweeping gently across the blanket, showing its owner's current satisfaction and relaxation.

Ling Hao played with the tips of her fluffy fox ears, his fingertips feeling that delicate, warm sensation, then gently stroked her fluffy, soft large tail, sighing in heartfelt admiration, "These fox ears and fox tail… truly are… indescribably wonderful."

"Supreme, you…"

The rosy flush that had not yet faded from Tushan Bailing's cheeks spread across them once again, and she buried her face deeply into his chest, her tail also shyly curling up, leaving only those ears still trembling slightly between Ling Hao's fingers.

Ling Hao secretly chuckled. No wonder the little fox girl named Hongye had eyes like pools of spring water when they first met, and that fox girl named Axue had innocently and naively said, "Someone who looks good must not be a bad person." It seems this Jade Fox Clan is truly "ill," and this illness… really does need "curing"!

Just then, from the direction of the Small World entrance, a crisp voice came. "Clan Chief? Are you… inside? Axue…"

Tushan Bailing's body stiffened abruptly, and she was instantly jolted from her lazy state. Overcome with shame and embarrassment, she subconsciously wanted to break free from Ling Hao's embrace and get up. However, Ling Hao's arms held her firmly, and she could not move.

"Supreme!" She whispered in shame and anger, her beautiful eyes filled with panic. The scene of being caught by a clansman, especially that girl Axue, was simply mortifying.

Ling Hao, however, remained composed and looked up. At the entrance, a head with snow-white fox ears poked in. She widened her fox eyes, looking in shock at the two people embracing on the blanket. The never-before-seen lazy, alluring state of the Clan Chief, and… that incomparably handsome Supreme!

In an instant, Baixue's fair cheeks flushed red like a sunset cloud. Deep within her eyes, a trace of longing was uncontrollably spreading, ready to stir.

Ling Hao looked at this interesting little fox girl, a meaningful smile curving his lips: "You are called Axue, aren't you?"

Tushan Baixue nodded subconsciously, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz. "Ye… Yes, Supreme."

Ling Hao said solemnly, "I heard from your Clan Chief… that your Jade Fox Clan now seems to have a kind of 'illness'?"

"Illness?" Tushan Baixue tilted her head, her snow-white fox ears twitching, appearing incredibly innocent and cute. Here, the Jade Fox Clan had little contact with outsiders, and most had the Realm but lacked life experience. This Tushan Baixue was one of them.

"Mmm," Ling Hao's gaze swept over the uncontrollably shy Tushan Bailing in his arms, then landed back on Baixue's face, explaining in a slow, leisurely tone, "It's just… like your Clan Chief is right now, the kind of illness where you especially… need someone to keep you company in order to get better."

"Company… like Big Sister?" Baixue repeated, murmuring, her gaze falling on Tushan Bailing again, then looking at Ling Hao's handsome face. The red in her eyes rapidly deepened and spread, instantly consuming that innocence.

Step by step, Tushan Baixue walked barefoot toward the blanket. She raised her head, looking straight at Ling Hao, her voice innocent yet firm: "Mmm! Axue… also needs Supreme!"
