The surroundings were in a mess. The huge roof of the shed had long been destroyed, and the vegetation around it had been dried by the flames. The earth was dead, just like Nekomata's father's mood.
Blue said,"Your demonic power and lifespan are all used up. You will die."”
Nekomata's father scolded angrily,"You stupid fox!"”
Blue wasn't annoyed by the scolding. She pointed at Orange and said,"I just sealed Orange's movements. Of course, her eyes were open. Look over there. Cheng is looking at us and crying.”
Nekomata's father turned his head with all his might and realized that Kitten was not dead. The blood in his chest had already stopped.
"The purpose of grabbing her was to seal her movements and, of course, to anger you.”
Nekomata's father saw that Orange was fine, and his anger immediately subsided. He looked extremely tired."Then why didn't you fight back?"
"After all, I'm going to take her in as my Spirit-branded Retainer. Favorability is very important." I've been dodging your attacks, but you only know how to use area-of-effect yao arts. I've been using spells to dispel Orange's effects, and my favorability towards her has increased quite a bit.”
Nekomata's father finally realized that he had been tricked.
"Besides, I'm going to take Orange as my Spirit-branded Retainer, so I can't kill you directly." I originally wanted you to die of exhaustion, but the result seems to be very good.”
Nekomata's father laughed.
Blue shrugged.”
" There's one more thing…" Nekomata's father asked." Why do you have to think so much? We're just Nekomata."”
"Aiyaya, you and your daughter are both very powerful. I'm moved by you.”Blue said." Besides, we agreed, didn't we?”
Nekomata's father was in tears as he sighed,""Lord Nine-tails, you are truly a clever and kind lord. Thank you so much."
Blue snapped her fingers, and Orange's seal was undone.
"I'll give you some time…but you really don't have much time left.”Blue turned around and walked away as the father and daughter hugged each other and cried. She went to check the trap.
Was he being kind? Lan Xiang. If he really had good intentions, he wouldn't have come to kill the Nekomata Clan. She felt that she was very shameless. After killing the other party's clan, she was still immersed in the good reviews they gave her.
The place where the trap was set up had already exploded. The area within a radius of a hundred meters had turned into charcoal. Blue used her demonic powers to sense her surroundings. Other than the father and daughter, there was no sign of Nekomata within a ten-kilometer radius.
It seemed that the Nekomata had fallen into the trap and never returned. The remaining Nekomata finally calmed down. Then, they looked for the charms of the illusion barrier in the soil. When these five charms were not raised at the same time, it would cause a big explosion. As a result, the earlier cat was drowned again, and the cautious cat was blown up again. A small trap was enough to wipe out an entire race.
After the huge explosion, the vines at the bottom of the cave were also burned to ashes. The nature spirits attached to the vines complained to Blue. After Blue gave them some benefits, they left satisfied.
Blue used yao arts to chase Nekomata's corpse into the trap and then buried it with soil. There were about 800 Nekomata buried here. After covering it with soil, there was nothing left.
Blue stood up again and walked back slowly. After walking for about half an hour, Nekomata's father was already dead. The kitten was quietly digging a hole with its claws.
"Do you need help?" Lan asked subconsciously.
"Get lost!" The kitten roared angrily again.
"The name is Orange, right?" Lan asked calmly. You have such a bad temper. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?”
"Just kill me!" Orange roared angrily," I already have nothing! It's also because of you that I'm no longer afraid of death after killing my clan!”
Eh, how strange. Blue found a place to sit down and played with the scorched soil on the ground. He was clearly a child, but he was not afraid of death. Why? There was also the old man at the bottom of the sinkhole, and even the person who was in Youyou's hands. Blue felt very strange. When she was rational, she found it difficult to understand these things.
"Why exactly?" Lan Wencheng said," If you die, there will be nothing left. This world might become a dream where dust returns to dust.”
Orange remained silent. Blue turned her body to her, trying to make the question more vivid."It's like you're a soul on the Santu River that fell asleep without realizing it. Then, he had a dream. In the dream, it was a real dream. You were born, and then you had parents, and then you had love and feelings. You're very integrated into your life, but you're slowly getting old. So your parents passed away before you, and you cried. After another few decades, you were going to die too. You missed your life and envied the young Nekomata. At this moment, you died and your dreams were gone. This dazzling life was just a dream on the Santu River. Cheng, have you ever felt this way?"
" I don't know…" Orange cried." My only blood relative was killed by you. My family was also killed by you. And now you're telling me that my life is just a dream? Why didn't you kill me too?"
Blue apologized subconsciously, while Orange angrily threw dirt at her.""Who do you think you are? You think you've done something good and you're still apologizing to me. You're really good at acting! Damn fox! My father accidentally injuring me with yao arts was also planned by you. You think I won't hate you just because you saved me? Do you think other monsters are stupid?”
Blue's originally lost spirit was called back by Orange's vicious words. She thought for a moment and said firmly,"Since you're so clear, I'll be straightforward. From now on, you must follow me and not move on your own.”
Blue grabbed Orange, then threw Nekomata's father into the pit and used yao arts to fill it with soil. No matter how Orange screamed, she was determined to take her away.
On the way, Blue forcibly took Orange as her Spirit-branded Retainer. After Cheng became a Spirit-branded Retainer, her demonic powers increased exponentially, and she could already transform into a human. The human form could minimize the unconscious consumption of demonic power, so Orange reluctantly accepted it.
When they arrived at Jin Guo City, it was already morning. The guards were still the same warriors. They quickly opened the city gate and respectfully invited Lan into the city. The samurai could not ask much about Nekomata, who was on Blue's shoulder. Although this Lord Nine-Tailed was very kind, they still wanted to maintain a sense of propriety.
Blue walked straight into the castle. The city lord was still sleeping. A guard called out to the city lord in a panic. Lan Bacheng used a Stop Spell to stop him and then placed him on a chair.
After a moment, the City Lord jogged in and apologized respectfully.
"I've removed Nekomata's disaster," Blue said. That warrior, please bring me a map.”
Then, Blue told the City Lord about the disaster situation in the northern forest on the map. The City Lord was sleepy, but he did not dare to yawn. He could only endure Blue's words.
Lan had a very serious personality and would not give up until she did a good job. After a while, a few more City Lord's advisors came. The City Lord handed over the matter to them and went back to his room to sleep.
Lan complained in her heart, Be it this guy or Lord Zi, all leaders are so good at sleeping.”
After handing over her work, Blue removed Orange's Immobilizing Charm and continued to carry her on her shoulder. "My stomach hurts. Don't put me on your shoulder."”Blue then carried Orange on his back.
The villagers of the original Northern Forest had gathered outside the castle. Blue One had come out, and they were all in an uproar. They shouted "Long live Lord Nine-Tailed" as they surrounded him eagerly.
Some villagers repeatedly cried about Nekomata's disaster, which caused their children to die and their families to be destroyed. Orange didn't dare to speak, and quietly shed tears on Blue's back.
"Lord Nine-Tailed, are you carrying Nekomata?”A villager asked.
Orange's human form wasn't very serious. She still showed her cat and two tails. Another villager shouted,"This thing is a cat!"”
A few villagers nearby cursed Nekomata. Orange clung tightly to Blue's back, not even daring to open her eyes.
"This is my new Spirit-branded Retainer." Blue shouted," All the Nekomata are dead. She's the only one left. It would be a pity if the entire clan was exterminated. Now that Nekomata is no longer in the vicinity, you can return to the forest.”
The villagers discussed animatedly. A man shouted angrily,"Nekomata killed our children and destroyed our home! It's not too much for us to destroy them, right? Lord Nine-tails, let us execute this Nekomata in public!”
Orange was so frightened that she almost cried out loud.
"What the hell!" " I'm here to do something," Lan shouted." I'm here to help you. Don't push your luck!" I'm just doing what I have to do. Don't think that you have any weight and can make me serve you!”
Everyone was shocked. Blue continued to walk forward, and everyone made way for her.
After a busy night and an entire morning, Lan felt hungry, so she went to a small shop and asked for something to eat. Cheng also ordered a fish and a bowl of porridge.
"Is this really okay?" Cheng asked," So many people are cheering for you. Because of me, you…"
Lan chuckled." I really want to say that it's for you, but it's not. We can't think about pleasing others. If all our actions are to please others, we will forget our original purpose. My goal was to carry out my master's orders. I didn't care if they cheered or booed because those things were nothing.”
"Are you so determined to kill my race?" Orange asked.”
"That operation was my responsibility."”
Orange said,"If I become powerful in the future, I will kill you for revenge."”
"I'm looking forward to my Spirit-branded Retainer surpassing me and stepping on the corpses to advance." Because this is my responsibility as the master.”
Orange was speechless. She felt that the fox in front of her was not only powerful in terms of demonic power.
By the time Blue brought Orange back to Purple's side, it was already half a month later. When Purple heard that Blue had taken in a shikigami, she joked," Then wouldn't I become a grandma?" However, Blue actually didn't learn his lesson and arrogantly said," You're older than the ancestors of all monsters."
"This brainless and stupid Spirit-branded Retainer, I told you to go to a place cooler than the Arctic Ocean to reflect on yourself.”Purple sighed. That gap had teleported Blue to the dark side of Earth in space.
However, Orange treated her as an outsider, and Purple only saw that she was a little dull. After chatting for a while, she felt sleepy and went back to her room to sleep.
However, after Purple fell asleep, a claw cut her neck. The great demons would use some yao arts to passively defend themselves. Even if they were asleep, this defense would automatically activate.
In the corner of the wall was Cheng, whose body was completely burnt black. Her chest heaved up and down violently, and it was extremely difficult for her to even breathe. Only then did Purple realize that it was Orange Hair who had a hard time.
"I know why you want to kill me.”Purple rubbed her eyes and got up. Orange tried to move, but the pain of the burns made her wish she was dead.
Purple silently chanted and activated the " Realm of Healing and Wounds ". Orange's injuries instantly healed as if nothing had happened. However, her clothes were burnt away, and there were some burnt pieces of clothes around her.
"You were the one who instructed Lan to kill my family, right?”Orange roared hysterically," Why did you do that!?!"”
Purple once again shrank under the blanket and said in a casual tone,"I'm doing this to ensure that the power of the Black Tortoise clan will not be shaken. However, your Nekomata clan was too ruthless. This was the politics of demons. In the face of politics, no one was innocent. Anyone could die.”
"You're a bastard!" Orange roared and charged at Purple. Purple did not dodge, even if she scratched her neck, she would not be hurt at all.
"I helped you recover your injuries and your demonic power just now," Purple complained. You're very weak now, and you can only use the toys I gave you to threaten me. So be a little more mature and stop doing embarrassing things.”
Orange was so upset that she began to cry. She knew better than anyone how powerful the monster she was facing was, and she knew better than anyone how helpless she was.
"Do you think that using the weak to fight against the strong is an incomparably glorious feat?”Purple closed her eyes, but her tone became sharper." If you do that, you'll be nothing and useless. I'll give you a cat's place to stay, because that's all you are.”
Cheng Pingsheng had never been so humiliated before. He was so angry that tears welled up in his eyes."I'm not a coward…"
Purple opened her eyes." Then let me see your fangs and hear your roar."”
Orange bared her canine teeth and barked a few more times. " Not bad, Orange." Purple was satisfied. Remember, if anyone stands in your way, use your claws to tear them into pieces. If you can't handle the difficulties in front of you, do you know what to do?”
Orange nodded." I want to improve myself, and then tear the difficulties into pieces!”
"Good boy, smart boy!" Purple laughed. By then, it won't be too late to take revenge on me. But you have to be good now, or you're dead. Do you understand?"
Orange stopped crying and suddenly asked,"Lord Zi, you should let Lord Lan come back."”
The originally serene Purple was instantly petrified. This time, the blue was too much. It was no longer something that a piece of oily tofu could coax…
