Mingfeng's scratching skills were too powerful, and Fengfei finally gave in: "Ahhh, Mingfeng, get down! I'll definitely give you candy on time from now on!" Seeing Mingfeng's little eyes darting around, Fengfei knew what it was thinking and immediately added: "Impossible! Only one small piece a month! That's not enough!"
Mingfeng wanted to make a fuss, but after being glared at by Fengfei, she thought about it and finally gave up trying to get more benefits. She flew back to Fengfei's arms dejectedly, clutching Fengfei's chest every now and then to express her dissatisfaction.
Feng Fei patted Ming Feng triumphantly before composed himself and cautiously made his way out of the jungle.
However, since Mingfeng brought Fengfei in and they had searched for caves to heal their wounds several times, Fengfei no longer knew where he was.
Feng Fei scratched her head in annoyance. Ming Feng was such a short-tempered girl; she hadn't even told her how to get out.
With no other option, Feng Fei had to find his way forward on his own. Along the way, Feng Fei was extremely cautious, fearing that he might accidentally provoke a powerful being that he couldn't handle. Fortunately, by using some jungle techniques taught by Feng Wu, Feng Fei avoided a lot of trouble.
However, it seemed that his luck along the way had run out. When Fengfei stopped under a towering tree, a deafening roar suddenly came from not far away.
It captivates the mind and moves the soul.
Feng Fei looked in horror toward the direction from which the sound came, and saw a scene of devastation. For miles around, the trees were all broken or charred trunks, and amidst this mess were two ferocious beasts exuding a terrifying aura.
One of them, at first glance, appeared to be a nine-tailed fox, with a silvery-white body and nine beautiful, almost ethereal tails dancing behind it. The other had a lion's head, a tiger's body, and a snake's tail, with bat-like wings on either side of its body; it was clearly not a benevolent creature.
However, this ferocious beast with a lion's head, tiger's body, and snake's tail was covered in blood and its eyes showed some signs of weakness, but the occasional flashes of shrewdness revealed that it still had some strength left.
The two ferocious beasts have been locked in battle here for many days.
Even though the nine-tailed fox was incredibly powerful, she was exhausted after days of fierce fighting. However, the beast opposite her was unlikely to gain any advantage either! With that thought, the nine-tailed fox's gaze towards the ferocious beast became even more ruthless.
Behind the nine-tailed fox was a colorful sapling with three dazzling little fruits hanging on it, and below the sapling was a white blob that was impossible to tell what it was from a distance.
Upon noticing Feng Fei's arrival, the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately cast a warning glance at her, and Feng Fei also saw an urging in his eyes, an urging for her to leave quickly.
Feng Fei felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing this. Cherishing his own life, he retreated a great distance, but not so far as to remain so that he could still see the entire scene from a distance.
The other ferocious beast, upon seeing Feng Fei, flashed a bloodthirsty light in its eyes and bared its teeth, preparing to pounce. At this moment, the ferocious beast desperately needed blood to replenish its strength, and upon seeing Feng Fei's presence, it immediately had this idea, but the nine-tailed fox saw through it and blocked it in an instant.
At this moment, Feng Yi learned of the commotion outside and suddenly came out of the ring. When she saw the colorful little tree, her eyes flashed with a strange light. She hurriedly instructed Feng Fei, "Go quickly! That is the Nine Profound Vermilion Fruit! It will be of great benefit to you!" Before Feng Fei could react, she slapped Feng Fei away with a palm.
Flying in the air, Feng Fei was seething with hatred. She just wanted to watch!
When the nine-tailed fox and the other ferocious beast saw Feng Fei fly away, they were startled. At first, they both wanted to stop Feng Fei, but suddenly, the nine-tailed fox seemed to think of something and immediately turned around to attack the ferocious beast.
At the same time, a melodious female voice echoed in Feng Fei's mind: "I am Hu Qing, the Fox King of Qingqiu. I entrust you with a matter. The white snowball under the tree is my child, and the fruit on the tree is the Nine-Mysterious Vermilion Fruit. You can scoop up two, but one of them must be given to my child to eat."
It all happened in an instant. The Nine-Tailed Fox roared to the sky, its body swelling rapidly. It was about to unleash its strongest attack. The Lion-Headed Beast was startled and could no longer attack Feng Fei. It had no choice but to dodge back to defend.
Feng Fei flew to the colorful little tree and stopped. At that moment, the white snowball under the tree made a whimpering sound and suddenly revealed two bright, dark eyes. The eyes were full of confusion. When it saw Feng Fei, its wet eyes immediately showed a look of vigilance.
Looking at the adorable little beast, Feng Fei couldn't help but squat down and reach out to touch the little nine-tailed fox's body.
The little nine-tailed fox felt incredibly soft to the touch, and Feng Fei couldn't help but touch it again and again.
At this moment, Mingfeng, who had also flown to Fengfei's side, let out an unhappy cry, indicating her displeasure with the little nine-tailed fox.
Before she could laugh at Mingfeng, Fengfei hurriedly picked the three Nine-Mysterious Vermilion Fruits from the colorful little tree and fed one of them to the little nine-tailed fox without thinking.
Feng, who was in the distance, was so angry that she jumped up and down.
A satisfied look appeared in Hu Qing's eyes.
After doing all this, just as Feng Fei was about to leave, a golden light flashed on the colorful tree, which then withered rapidly. The next moment, what appeared in Feng Fei's eyes was a small, crooked tree with withered branches, which shot into the little nine-tailed fox's body to Feng Fei's astonishment.
The little nine-tailed fox trembled violently, its large, dark, and lively eyes flashing with pain. After a while, the little nine-tailed fox's trembling gradually stopped, and strange little tree patterns appeared on its back. Before Feng Fei could see them clearly, they disappeared in the next instant, as if what had just happened was not real.
Seeing Feng Fei standing there blankly, Feng Yi called out anxiously.
At this moment, the life-or-death struggle between the nine-tailed fox and the ferocious beast was nearing its end. The ferocious beast, with its menacing appearance, was already at its last gasp, clinging on only with the dignity of a king.
Hearing Feng Yi's call, Feng Fei snapped out of her daze. Ignoring the scene she had just witnessed, she glanced at the little nine-tailed fox who was still lying motionless on the ground, and couldn't help but touch it again before lifting her skirt and running towards Feng Yi.
The surrounding aura was too strong, preventing her from using her often-proud agility techniques, leaving her only able to slink away on foot.
Just as Feng Fei reached Feng Yi's side, the ferocious beast let out a mournful cry, followed by a deafening explosion. Feng Fei only had time to shield Ming Feng with his body and fall to the ground, while Feng Yi, seeing the situation was bad, immediately hid in the ring.
A terrifying shockwave struck Feng Fei, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. He then experienced uncontrollable dizziness, but it seemed as if a divine light was protecting his consciousness, preventing him from passing out.
The explosions continued unabated, and Feng Fei, lying on the ground, coughed up another mouthful of blood before feeling less suffocated in his chest.
"I wonder when it will stop." Feng Fei muttered to himself, the aftereffects of the explosion were really painful on him.
Suddenly, Feng Fei seemed to hear the voice of the nine-tailed fox Hu Qing: "You did very well just now." The voice was filled with the dignity of a king.
Hearing that the explosions had stopped, Feng Fei sat up, his body still weak. He looked at the dust billowing from the center of the explosion and could vaguely make out the graceful figure of the nine-tailed fox.
Nine-tailed fox Hu Qing slowly appeared before Feng Fei. Feng Fei couldn't help but hold his breath, because what appeared before him was a charming, alluring, and noble woman in white.

Shamelessly begging for recommendations and favorites~~~~~~~
Chapter Twelve: You Want to Be Like Me
Chapter Twelve: Do you want to become like me?
"What's your name?" Hu Qingpin walked gracefully up to Feng Fei, bent slightly, and asked softly.
When Hu Qing's alluring eyes swept over Feng Fei, Feng Fei felt his soul float away. But he quickly regained his senses, inwardly cursing himself for being so weak-willed, losing his soul over a woman. However, this was a habit Feng Fei had picked up in China; he was used to walking around with his cronies, commenting on beautiful women and handsome men, and his favorite thing was seeing alluring beauties.
Shaking her head, Feng Fei looked at Hu Qing's skirt and whispered, "My name is Feng Fei." Then, feeling a little embarrassed, she immediately straightened her back and looked directly at Hu Qing, saying, "My name is Feng Fei!"
Seeing Feng Fei's appearance, Hu Qing couldn't help but laugh. This child in front of her wasn't twelve or thirteen years old, and it was rare that he hadn't been frightened by the scene just now, and had even helped her child eat the Nine Profound Vermilion Fruit. Thinking of this, Hu Qing's maternal instincts suddenly kicked in, and she gently helped Feng Fei up to sit on a nearby boulder. After thinking for a moment, she flipped her right hand, and a jade-colored pill appeared in her palm.
"This is the Jade Profound Pill, one of the sacred medicines of my Qingqiu Fox Clan. It also has excellent benefits for you humans. After you swallow it, you can use the time to heal your injuries to widen your meridians, and you won't experience much pain." Hu Qing said softly, her eyes so gentle they seemed to drip with water, making one want to drown in them.
Feng Fei inwardly cried out that she couldn't take it anymore, but her eyes still involuntarily kept looking at Hu Qing.
Hu Qing didn't reveal anything, only letting Feng Fei observe.
After a while, Feng Fei finally came to his senses and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Thank you." Then, he scooped up the Jade Profound Pill that Hu Qing had been holding in his palm and swallowed it.
It turns out that Hu Qing, being the nine-tailed fox queen of the Qingqiu fox clan, possessed a special innate ability: anyone who looked at her, regardless of gender, would become captivated by her. Those with strong willpower could break free from this feeling, experiencing a significant boost to their spirit and enhanced comprehension. However, those unable to extricate themselves would be forever trapped, until their bodies perished, making reincarnation impossible.
Hu Qing had just quietly released this special ability, not to make things difficult for Feng Fei, but rather to help him. With her protecting him, even if Feng Fei couldn't get out of that predicament on his own, she could help him, though not as effectively as if he had gotten out on his own. Fortunately, Feng Fei was a person of great perseverance and determination, and stubbornly managed to get out on his own.
In the instant he regained consciousness, Feng Fei felt his mind clear and his surroundings became crystal clear. With his senses sharpened, he knew that Hu Qing had just done him a favor. So without any hesitation, he took the Jade Profound Pill that Hu Qing was still holding in his palm and swallowed it.
Upon entering his mouth, the Jade Profound Pill transformed into a clear stream, instantly flowing throughout Feng Fei's meridians, even cleansing those tiny meridians that are easily overlooked. This clear stream didn't disappear after cleansing Feng Fei's body; instead, it slowly flowed down to Feng Fei's dantian and settled there.
Feng Fei's divine sense slowly extended over. She originally thought that because it was a sacred medicine of the demon race, it might leave some harm to humans, but after contacting Qing Liu, who was residing in her dantian, she realized that the medicinal power of the Jade Profound Pill would not be used up in one go, but would take effect three times.
The first time is immediately after swallowing it, the second time is when you make your first minor advancement in cultivation, and the last time is when you make your first major advancement in cultivation. If you make your first major advancement in cultivation immediately after taking it, it will not trigger a second effect. It will only take effect when you make your first minor advancement. The third opportunity will then take effect when you make your first major advancement in cultivation.
Feng Fei hadn't expected Hu Qing to give him such a big gift. After the first dose of the Jade Profound Pill took effect, Feng Fei's injuries were completely healed, and even the minor hidden injuries from before were cleared up.
"Thank you." Feng Fei didn't know what to say at that moment, so he could only stammer out a thank you.
"Heh, don't be angry. Consider it repayment for helping my child eat the Nine Profound Vermilion Fruit." Hu Qing chuckled, looking at the somewhat flustered little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but step forward and pat Feng Fei's head.
When Yuan Jue took Feng Fei away from the palace, he forced her to change into the Empress's attire. She had damaged several sets of clothes before. Now, she was wearing a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that Feng Wu had scooped out of his storage ring, transforming her into a cute, innocent young girl. As someone whose mental age was nearly thirty, Feng Fei felt both embarrassed and somewhat pleased; this appearance was undeniably charming and endearing!
When Hu Qing tried to touch his head, Feng Fei instinctively turned his head away, but after thinking about it, he stopped and let Hu Qing touch him.
Feng Fei stared blankly at Hu Qing, her eyes filled with admiration. Hu Qing's body was too young, and her voice was too delicate and weak—not her type. She preferred the alluring, mature woman. Feng Fei had countless thoughts, all wanting to become like Hu Qing. Thinking this, she suddenly asked, "Can I grow up to be as beautiful as you?"
Hu Qing looked at Feng Fei with some surprise, slightly raising her delicate eyebrows, her face...
Frozen gums, 19 ...
Upon hearing this, Feng Fei nodded vigorously.
"I don't look good like this. If I walk in the world, people will call me a vixen. Even though I am a vixen." Hu Qing suddenly joked about herself.
"The term 'fox spirit' is a label that vulgar people have imposed on others. They're just envious, but they don't possess it themselves. Of all the people in the world who are called 'fox spirits,' how many have actually committed heinous crimes? Aren't they just labels people use to exonerate themselves?" Feng Fei's words were tinged with indignation. In the history of the Celestial Empire, how many of the beauties labeled "fox spirits" or "femme fatales" actually did anything harmful to themselves or others? Aren't they just labels created by so-called virtuous gentlemen to cover up their own immoral and immoral acts?
Hearing Feng Fei's furious words, Hu Qing fell into deep thought. Years ago, when she was young, she was curious about the world and secretly left Qingqiu Mountain. She happened to hear a storyteller in a teahouse recount a touching tale of love between a human and a demon, and she too was tempted to experience it for herself. Little did she expect to encounter such a heartless man, who ultimately harmed her best friend, Hu Mei.
A look of sadness crept onto Hu Qing's face. Feng Fei saw this but remained silent, simply watching quietly from the side.
After a while, Hu Qing finally emerged from her sadness, perked up, and revealed a captivating smile: "Your words please me. It's not impossible for you to become like me, but you might have to pay a price. Do you still want to?"
"Listen to this, and see if I can afford the price. If I can't, then forget it. My life is more important, hehe." Feng Fei looked curious and said with a grin.
"Okay, listen up." Hu Qing slowly sat down on the boulder, helped Feng Fei straighten her hair, and then said, "First, you need to sever the threads of love. Then find the Heart-Severing Fruit, Heart-Severing Grass, Heart-Severing Branch, and Heart-Breaking Gu. Crush the Heart-Severing Fruit, Heart-Severing Grass, and Heart-Severing Branch and feed them to the Heart-Breaking Gu. The Heart-Breaking Gu will turn a deep purple color. Swallow it whole, and the heart-breaking pain will last for forty-nine days."
Feng Fei initially thought it didn't seem too difficult, but as he listened further, his eyes widened in shock: How terrifying!
She quickly waved her hands and shook her head, exclaiming, "I don't want to become like you!"
Seeing Feng Fei's expression, Hu Qing could no longer hold back. After covering her mouth and laughing for a while, she finally burst out laughing: "Silly child, I was just kidding you!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Fei was taken aback again: Hu Qing had always been dignified, and although she had a seductive charm in her bones, she would never have given people the impression that she was a person who would joke around. Unexpectedly, she had played a joke on Feng Fei.
Looking at Feng Fei's dazed and confused appearance, Hu Qing couldn't help but feel very happy.
"What a silly child!" Hu Qing stopped teasing Feng Fei and said seriously, "Originally, learning our Qingqiu Fox Clan's cultivation method would have been enough. Most of us foxes are alluring and captivating, but my nine-tailed fox cultivation method is a bit different. Normally, I shouldn't pass it on, but seeing you makes me happy, so I've decided to make an exception." Hearing that Hu Qing said this cultivation method was a secret of the fox clan, Feng Fei instinctively wanted to refuse, but Hu Qing waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Silly child, now I am the only king of the fox clan. If I can't even make this decision, what's the point of being king?"
After hearing this, Feng Fei accepted Hu Qing's kindness without hesitation.
Hu Qinghong parted her lips slightly, and a mysterious incantation was uttered from her mouth, slowly drifting into Feng Fei's ears and entering his mind, turning into an unforgettable memory.
"Alright, I should go now." Hu Qing stood up, looked at Feng Fei who was still immersed in the fox clan's mental cultivation method, and said softly, "If you ever meet a woman named Hu Shuang'er in the human world, please treat her well."
