Chapter Eighty-Two: Bai Luo and Xue Ji (Requesting Subscription)

“Swish Swish Swish!”

Led by Alpha, the Golden Clan weaved through the northern mountains of the Midgar Kingdom.

Soon, Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon found Zeta.

“Have they arrived?”

The兽人 girl with beast ears, named Zeta, had light golden hair that reached her chin. Standing on a treetop, she resembled a hidden leopard in the shadows, overlooking all directions.

Zeta’s original name was Lillim, daughter of the Gold Leopard clan chief, and direct descendant of the legendary beast hero Lillith.

Moreover, her situation differed from the other girls.

Once beloved as the princess of the Gold Leopard clan, even after suffering demonic possession, Zeta was one of the few not abandoned by her family and friends.

The Gold Leopard clan had long known the truth about demonic possession.

Thus, to protect Zeta, her biological father was killed by traitors within the clan and members of the Sect.

During their escape, both Zeta’s mother and younger brother sacrificed themselves for her protection.

Zeta was deeply grateful to Alpha and Bai Luo for saving her.

As the sixth cadre to join the Golden Clan, Zeta was not only talented but also extremely diligent.

In just a week, Zeta completed Alpha’s trials and earned the qualification to act independently outside.

“What’s the current situation?”

“Someone entered earlier.”

Zeta reported: “Their identity is unclear, but judging by their attire, they should be a noble knight from the Midgar Kingdom.”

At this point, Zeta described Jeno’s physical features to the others.

“I’ve never seen him.”

“I haven’t heard of him.”

“We don’t know who he is.”

There were not just these four with Alpha; there were six new members who had recently joined but already graduated under Lambda’s training.

All current members of the Golden Clan were either Pokémon or Beast People.

Jeno and his backing Midgar Kingdom were completely unknown entities to the women.

“How strong is he?”

“He feels rather average.”

Zeta’s strength ranked just below Delta.

In terms of power within the Golden Clan, Alpha was undoubtedly the strongest.

Following her were Beta, Delta, and Zeta, then Epsilon and Sitan.

Gamma was not skilled in combat and thus not included in the rankings.

“Average…?”

“One move.”

Zeta said: “I can kill that human in one move.”

“…”

Upon hearing Zeta’s evaluation, Epsilon nodded and said: “That does sound pretty weak.”

If unable to withstand even a single special attack from A-tier, the opponent’s strength could barely reach C+ level, if even that.

“The Sect really doesn’t take us seriously at all.”

Epsilon felt the Sect was being too dismissive: “What happened to the promised trap? Is this it?”

“Yes, we went out of our way to mobilize so many people.”

“Is it really necessary?”

“There’s a feeling of being underestimated here.”

The women were dissatisfied with the Sect’s attitude.

With so many B-tier peak and near-A-tier members, including two Special A-tier members like Beta and Zeta, not to mention Alpha herself personally joining the operation, the Sect’s perfunctory trap was an insult.

“Don’t let your guard down!”

Alpha quietly silenced everyone’s murmurs.

Although she shared their frustration, Alpha was still uneasy.

The Golden Clan had gone all-out, almost mobilizing every member, and even she doubted whether she might have overreacted.

It shouldn’t be like this.

Alpha remembered the premonition she had at the time: the unease, the Sect’s trap, should not be limited to this.

For someone capable of making her, who was mid-seven-digit, feel threatened, their strength was absolutely not something the newly joined members could handle.

“In any case, be careful.”

Alpha didn’t elaborate further but reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.

“Zeta.”

“Here.”

“You are responsible for sealing off the western area.”

Alpha continued: “Beta, Epsilon, you will seal off the north and east respectively.”

As for Alpha herself, she would make a frontal assault from the south to prevent any fugitives from escaping their hunt.

Their attitude towards Sect members was simple: exterminate them all!

“Let’s begin.”

“Pay attention to your safety.”

After Alpha spoke, the surrounding figures immediately transformed into streaks of light, rushing toward the four directions of the Sect’s stronghold.

At the same time, in a forest within Baron Kageno’s territory, Bai Luo and Xue Ji strolled leisurely.

“Weren’t you saying you weren’t worried?”

Xue Ji covered her mouth and giggled lightly: “Why did you bother coming specially?”

“I’m only at ease when it comes to the Sect.”

“This isn’t an extra variable now, is it?”

This wasn’t the real Bai Luo, but rather a strand of consciousness he had separated during his lunch break.

Bai Luo’s Sacred Domain currently encompassed nearly the entire southeast of the continent.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Bai Luo wished, he could exert his authority anywhere, transforming that place into his domain.

By creating a magical illusion powered by magic and manipulating it with spiritual energy, he could create a form similar to a clone.

“Your reaction surprises me somewhat, Xue Ji.”

“Why should that be strange?”

Ever since becoming familiar with Bai Luo, Xue Ji had become much more casual in her attitude.

Of course, deep inside, the young girl still held great respect for Bai Luo.

But because she understood his habits and knew he preferred to interact as friends, Xue Ji dared to relax around him.

Besides, there was a little calculation in Xue Ji’s mind.

The white fox girl didn’t want to merely be Bai Luo’s subordinate; she wanted to become his woman, someone who could warm his bed and serve him.

“Even if you’re his clone, it’s still his manifestation of will.”

At this point, Xue Ji changed her relaxed demeanor and became extraordinarily serious: “My lady will not tolerate anyone offending you.”

The clone is Bai Luo.

As long as it’s Bai Luo, Xue Ji must protect him.

Therefore, upon sensing Bai Luo splitting a thread of consciousness to observe Alpha and the others’ actions, Xue Ji immediately appeared by his side.

“You…”

Without question, moved by Xue Ji’s devotion, Bai Luo said: “Alright, I’ll leave my safety in your hands.”

“Okay, okay, rest assured, my lady will protect you well!”

Saying this, Xue Ji leaned in, looking ready to cuddle and kiss.

Having no choice, Bai Luo had to use his legendary fox-rubbing technique, beginning to knead the mischievous white fox’s ears and tail, which made Xue Ji behave properly.

However, Bai Luo couldn’t decide whether Xue Ji’s behavior was intentional or accidental.

Anyway, each time Xue Ji provoked Bai Luo, she would be punished.

But soon enough, Xue Ji would offend him again.

Gradually, this mode of interaction where both Bai Luo and Xue Ji found joy became a tacit understanding between them.

Not even Alpha knew that beneath her elegant exterior, Xue Ji was such a playful fox.
