A month ago, after Eight Cloud Blue returned to Eight Cloud Purple's side from Jin Country, he had focused on teaching the use of orange yao arts.
As for Purple, her power was severely depleted. There was a period of time when she could not even walk and slept all day. Especially in the winter, she was like hibernating and couldn't get up.
However, Orange didn't dare to make things difficult anymore. In Blue's words, Orange was still far from it.
Orange asked Eight Cloud Blue anxiously,"If you use the strength of a fox to evaluate, then how many tails am I?"”
Lan was put in a difficult position." I've never heard of such a conversion…Well, let's call it Second Last!"”
Orange complained, Nekomata is Second Last! Why are you two still foxes?”
"I didn't brush you off." Lan scratched her head. However, Orange's strength wasn't very strong, so she felt sorry for Three Tails.”
Orange immediately became dejected." I've already cultivated for a month. Am I still too weak?"”
At this moment, Purple Eight Clouds woke up from her sleep. When she saw that the two of them were as harmonious as mother and daughter, she suddenly wanted to test Orange.
"Ah la la, Cheng is such a good child. He seemed to have been cultivating bitterly during this period of time.”Eight Clouds Purple yawned.
"You really need to sleep more when you're old," Lan Xiao said.
Nine-Tailed Fox, who was sitting there perfectly fine, disappeared in an instant, leaving a gap in its original position.
" Why can't this brainless Spirit-branded Retainer learn his lesson…" Bayun Zi shook her head helplessly.
Cheng was sweating profusely. After coming here for a month, Lord Zi and Lord Lan were very gentle and disciplined monsters. But Lord Zi seemed to be very concerned about age.
That was why Orange One called Eight Clouds Purple " Sister Purple ". In the beginning, Purple was overjoyed, but later on, Blue refused and said that this was really rude. Hence, Cheng changed her address to "Lord Zi".
Blue had already prepared a large amount of water. Purple raised the bucket and replenished the water for seven to eight days in one go. After drinking it, she suddenly twitched and fell to the ground. Orange was shocked.
" Cheng... come over and help me out..." Purple Cloud said weakly," I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now. Can you help me back to bed?"”
Orange quickly helped Purple Eight Clouds up and noticed that Purple's eyes had turned white.
"This is the aftereffect of overexerting your demonic power. You will faint intermittently and you won't be able to see or hear anything. I remember Lan telling you not to come to my room casually. She said that she was afraid of disturbing my rest, but that's not the case. She was afraid that I would scare you like this…"
Orange was so scared that she did not dare to speak. She saw that Eight Clouds Purple was bleeding from his seven orifices and his arm was melting. Orange's claws suddenly grew longer and entered combat mode. However, she only supported Eight Clouds Purple, as if she had not made up her mind.
"Cheng, this is a great opportunity for you to take revenge. Right now, I'm not sure if that passive defensive spell will work. If you slit my throat, I'll really die.”Purple Cloud smiled, but he said terrifying words.
Orange held her breath and raised her sharp claws, then put them down.
"What are you talking about, Lord Zi?”Orange thought of her father, who had been exhausted to death, and her clan that had been exterminated. Tears streamed down her face." I'm Master Lan's Spirit-branded Retainer. I won't do such a thing again."”
But Purple Eight Clouds didn't reply. Orange felt that Purple couldn't hear her, but in order to test her, she even said something as outrageous as " Old Lady Purple ". However, Purple only staggered forward. Without Orange to support her, she would collapse and not be able to get up.
When Orange focused on helping Purple back to her room, the corners of Purple's mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile. When she woke up, she suddenly wanted to test if Orange still wanted revenge. If her hatred was still so strong after more than a month and she attacked her when Purple pretended to be at her weakest, then Purple would have no choice but to chase her away.
Whether it was his eyes that were muddled or his seven orifices that were bleeding, they were all faked. Coincidentally, Blue said something silly, so Purple cut her off. Then, she and Orange started to test each other. Fortunately, Orange had let go of her aggro at the last moment. Otherwise, Purple would have dealt with this matter seriously.
Orange helped her back to her room and laid her down. Purple said happily,""Cheng is really a good kid…"
Orange used a towel to wipe away the blood that had flowed out of Purple's body and left. She was scared half to death. The moment she showed her claws, she thought of her dead father. That fox had used some tricks to anger her father. With such a Spirit-branded Retainer, her master was even more of a monster. When Orange called out " Old Lady Zi ", Purple's eyebrows twitched slightly. Orange noticed this and began to wonder why Lord Zi pretended not to hear it.
There could only be one result. She was testing him. If she had really attacked him with her claws, he would definitely be the one in trouble. This Eight Cloud Purple was really shrewd to the extreme. He mustn't relax.
Thinking of this, Orange cried out in fear. She felt that Lord Zi was even more terrifying than an evil ghost. She seemed to have to be loyal to her. If anything went wrong, she might die!
Could it be that she had instructed Lan to exterminate his own race, and it was too much for him to take revenge? That fellow was indeed using gentleness as a pretense to trick her into submission!
Orange's legs were shaking as she left. She thought about it and felt that she really could not leave. There was Eight Cloud Blue here, and her yao art teaching was unparalleled. Orange felt that just one month of hard work was equivalent to five years of learning. If she really wanted to increase her strength, she had to submit to these two demons and be absolutely loyal. Orange couldn't stop her tears from flowing at the thought of this humiliation.
After a while, Lan slowly floated down from the sky. She seemed to be a little resentful as she glared in the direction of the house. Orange was still in shock and subconsciously asked,""Lord Lan, is the real Lord Zi very terrifying?”
Blue took a deep breath as if he was suffocating."Actually…ha ha…Lord Zi is very reasonable. Although I was sent to outer space as punishment, this was actually a trial prepared for me.”
Orange couldn't hold it in anymore. Although reason told her to shut up, she was too eager to find someone to confide in."But Lord Lan, just now Lord Zi deliberately tricked me to test me. If I fall for it, I'm probably dead…"
When Eight Cloud Blue heard this, she found it hard to believe. Orange told her everything that had happened, and then she regretted it. She was just an insignificant piece of trash that could be abandoned if she wanted to. Thinking of this, Orange choked. While Lan was listening attentively, she suddenly stood up and wanted to escape.
"Cheng, why are you running!" Lan suddenly didn't understand.
Orange was too afraid. If Eight Cloud Blue chose between her and Eight Cloud Purple, the result would be without a doubt. Moreover, she would definitely die in the end. So she quickened her pace, but staggered and fell. Blue suddenly understood what Orange was worried about. She rushed over to help Orange up.
"Are you worried…that I will give up on you between you and Lord Zi?”Lan asked worriedly.
"Isn't that so?" Orange was so scared that she didn't dare to move." You took me in and raised me because you felt guilty for destroying the Nekomata clan, right? But if I don't get along with Lord Zi, then I'll be a hindrance. I'll only have death.”
"What nonsense are you spouting…" Eight Clouds Blue was a little flustered.
Orange couldn't listen. She cried and shouted,"I don't blame you. I blame my mouth that can't be closed!" If I had acted dumb just now, everything would have been fine…"
Eight Cloud Blue frowned." Come with me. Let Lord Zi apologize to you!"”
Orange was forcefully dragged into Purple's room by Blue. Blue rudely slapped Purple Eight Clouds awake. Purple barely managed to open her eyes.
"Lord Zi, you were testing Cheng just now, right?”Eight Clouds Blue asked very seriously. This sudden change of tone startled Purple.
"Did Orange find out?" Purple was a little surprised.
"You scared Orange. If she had fallen for your trick, you wouldn't have been threatened at all, but she would have been finished.”Lan said angrily.
"Cheng, if it was in the past, I would never test you like this." But now, I'm severely injured, and you've improved so quickly in the past month. In some extreme situations, you are a great threat to me. I have to test you first because I want to control the risk of you.”
Orange's tears were still hanging on her cheeks, but she expressed her understanding.
Blue also noticed that this was a problem, so she decided to bring Orange along with her during her daily operations and not let her see Lord Zi alone.
Purple was very satisfied with Blue's arrangement. Finally, she knelt down and apologized to Orange. Orange was shocked and quickly knelt down to return the greeting.
Things were still under Purple's control, so she decided to tell the truth."Cheng, don't feel awkward. Just accept it. I feel very guilty if I hurt you because of this, but no matter how sorry I am, I will still do it. Because I don't trust you for the time being…"
"It's all my fault for being scared and talking to Lord Lan." If Lord Zi doesn't trust me, I'll pay attention to propriety in the future and won't casually enter Lord Zi's room.”
Eight Cloud Blue ridiculed,"Are you talking too much to Lord Lan?" Is it my fault?"
" But Orange is really too sensible," Purple sighed." He actually thought that Blue would make a choice between you and me, and then we would have to get rid of you. However, I was also completely underestimated by Orange. This feeling was really annoying. It was as uncomfortable as eating a fly for no reason.”
"How could I dare, Lord Zi!" Orange quickly bowed down and apologized.”
"Do you know how Blue became my Spirit-branded Retainer?" Purple Eight Clouds smiled.”
Orange shook her head, but Blue revealed a helpless expression."Lord Zi is going to say some nonsense again.”
Purple continued,"At that time, Blue was still a seven-level demon fox and was severely injured by Yiqing of Xixing Temple. Her limbs had been broken by the ghost and the god, and six of her seven tails had been torn off by the snake god. She was covered in blood as she ran inch by inch with her chin. She walked two mountains and finally waited for death in a depression. I was passing by and happened to bump into him.”
"Lord Blue was actually injured to such an extent by that damned Mage."”
"Lan told me what happened to her. She had always wanted to live in peace with humans, but she had been treated so cruelly by humans. I propose to make a deal with her. I will save her life and take her in as a Spirit-branded Retainer. She will be at my beck and call for thirty years and will not be allowed to resist. As long as the 30-year time limit is up, I will return her freedom.”
"Is Lord Lan Lord Zi's slave?"”
"Well, the tail of a demon fox is not for show. Orange will get addicted if she touches it ~" Purple put on an innocent expression."I thought Kujo was really awesome at that time, so I couldn't help but do it.”
"Lord Zi's original intention is really incurable…" Eight Clouds Blue ridiculed.
"But Blue was too stubborn," Purple continued."She added another one. That was the one that made me look at her in a new light.”
"What kind of one?" Orange asked.
"She said that she wasn't a casual person, nor was she someone who would be bound by such a deal. Lan only agreed to help me build Fantasy Village and was responsible for some miscellaneous matters. She would never agree to anything that was too much. If I force her to do something bad, she will bite me.”
Blue complained,"Biting is Lord Zi's live performance!"”
"So Lord Zi agreed?" Orange asked curiously.”
" I asked her back then," Zi said happily," You're seriously injured and have nothing. What right do you have to negotiate with me?" Lan said that her bargaining chip was her freedom. She was not a fox who would be ordered around. This would not change even in the face of death. Unless my will is acknowledged by her, I will never gain her loyalty. Moreover, how could he let her escape with the fox tail in his hands? For the next six months, I buried myself in Blue's tail every day to sleep.”
"Lord Lan is so handsome." Orange asked in surprise. And can I touch your tail?”
Blue helplessly wagged her tail to let Orange stroke it. Orange was attracted by the soft touch."Then why did Lord Zi say that he would only stay in Lord Lan's tail for half a year? You haven't touched it since?"
" It's a shame." Purple raised her head slightly." After all, this is very humiliating and uncomfortable for Blue." Although she was annoyed that I played with her tail, she said that this was to repay the favor of saving her life, so she didn't complain.”
Orange let go of Blue's tail with a heartache. Blue was instantly moved.
"Well, we've strayed off topic." Purple Eight Clouds sat up straight as if she was about to say something important." Orange, I'm telling you this to tell you that your master has a noble and pure quality that's extremely rare. The most unique thing about her was that although she held invincible power in her hands, she saw herself as insignificant. It was as if she had a unique understanding of the world, and then she had to shoulder the responsibility she should have. It is precisely because my Purple Eight Clouds 'Dao meets her expectations that she is willing to work for me. Otherwise, even saving her life would not be able to restrain her.”
Lan felt a little shy.”
However, Purple changed the topic." Cheng, Blue told me about you back then. You dared to confront the peerless Nine-Tailed Fox for your father. That's incredible." He was so ferocious when he came to me, he even wanted to take my life while I was sleeping. At that time, you looked down on yourself, ignoring the threats that Blue and I had made to you, as if your life was focused on revenge. You are so arrogant. Other than revenge, it seems that you don't care about anything else, including your life.”
Orange was speechless.
"But you've been getting more and more useless recently.”Purple's words gradually became sharp." Because I was scared out of my wits by one test. You thought that Blue might hurt you and ran away. Your demonic power is improving day by day, but your courage is weakening day by day. You are no longer the kitten who has to stand in front of my father. You don't dare to suddenly make trouble when I'm sleeping. In the past, although you were weak, you were fearless and moved the pure and aloof Lan. But now, you don't know anything except sticking to her. The roar that you once used to show me your unyielding will has now become a sob in your nose.”
Orange cried out in grievance. Although Blue felt that Lord Zi's words were a little overboard, she suddenly felt that her impression of Orange had changed recently. Blue's initial impression of Orange was that she was amazing, but later on, she realized that Orange was actually a hardworking person. However, Purple understood everything and hit the nail on the head.
" I, Eight Clouds Purple, am not afraid of demonic powers. You once had the most precious power, but now you have lost it." The power you lost is more important than any other power. If you can't get it back, you can only get lost from the Eight Clouds family!”
Lan was also shocked. She could tell that Lord Zi was serious.
"Do you want me to take revenge that badly?" Orange wailed.! Are you satisfied as long as I kill you?!”
Orange rushed to Purple in an instant and showed its claws. Blue, who had yet to enter combat mode, could not react in time. Even Purple broke out in a cold sweat.
