Chapter 39: Acting Cute and Playful

  Xia Xiaoliang may not like to fight for victory, but she will not allow others to bully her either. If in the past she would be weak and yielding when faced with difficulties, then after meeting Xia Mingchuan, the subtle changes within her made her strong, teaching her how to face challenges head-on.

  Xia Xiaoleng hugged Yao'er and walked out of the East Hall, coming to a deserted forest behind the Yuanyuan Peak palace group.

  "What's wrong with you, Xiao Liang? It's the middle of the night and you're not sleeping. You're not even keeping an eye on your brother Chuan Gege. What are you running around for?" Yao'er licked her paws, curled up in Xiao Liang's stiff chest.

  "Let's lure the snake out of its hole! Brother Chuan is unconscious, and my adoptive father has been invited by the Fox Tribe's leader to be a guest. If I don't make myself scarce, I'm afraid it will implicate Little Dragon Qiao Xin and Yan Wang as well." Xia Xiao Liang shrugged her shoulders, gazing up at the starry sky, and sighed.

  You'er stood up straight, her small face full of tension, her small paws grasping Xia Xiao Liang's white hair, saying: "What? Are you crazy? This is called luring the snake out of its hole! It's clearly a case of a cat entering a fox's den!"

  "Shut your crow mouth, don't curse me! Am I not worthy of that? You should know how fierce I've been in these recent matches. And him, that bald-headed Duan Chen? Hmph! Neither of them are my match!" Xia XiaoLiang proudly lifted her head, the fluffy cat tail behind her swishing triumphantly.

  The corners of the girl's mouth twitched non-stop, she had seen shameless people before, but never as shameless as this. At this moment, Xia Xiao Liang once again refreshed her understanding in her heart.

  "Hey, what a big tone! I'd like to see how you're not my opponent?" A sneer came, Duan Chen stood behind Xia Xiao Liang, coquettishly flicked the hair on his forehead, and looked down at Xia Xiao Liang.

  Xia Xiaoliang raised her head and looked at Duan Chen, who was a head taller than her, with an evil smile on his face. At such a close distance, Xia Xiaoliang's small face turned red and she took a few steps back.

  "What are you sneaking around behind me for?" Xia Xiao Liang covered her chest, looking startled. Yao'er had already seen the situation was not good and escaped to a nearby thicket, digging a hole and hiding in it, only revealing her small head to observe. At this time, Xia Xiao Liang was on guard against Duan Chen, and didn't care where Yao'er went.

  "Am I sneaking around? Obviously you just said 'luring the snake out of its hole'! How come now, my appearance surprises you so much?" Duan Chen stepped forward a few steps, came to Xia Xiao Liang's front, stretched out his right hand and hooked it under Xia Xiao Liang's chin, with a deep emotional expression.

  Xia Xiaoliang was frightened by his smile and got goosebumps all over her body, she slapped his hand away with her paw, Xia Xiaoliang got angry, the consequences were severe!

  Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, five kinds of spheres swarmed out, they did not overflow from Xia Xiaoleng's hands, but drilled out from various parts of the body and floated in mid-air. Looking at that momentum, it seemed to surround him with many spheres.

  Siege? This is a good idea! Xia Xiao Liang put her left hand on her waist, pointed at Duan Chen with her right hand and said: "Everyone! Go, beat this bald fox for me!"

  Duan Chen raised an eyebrow, facing so many Five Elements teams, he also felt some pressure and had to go all out. However, as a foundation-building cultivator, he was not flustered and one by one dissolved them. Although there was a gap in cultivation, it still made him break out in cold sweat, somewhat powerless to counterattack.

  Xia Xiaoleng let out a cold snort, seriously staring at Duan Chen to prevent him from suddenly counterattacking. Although she possessed many powerful techniques, the gap in their strength was not something that could be changed by talent alone; after all, she had only reached the middle stage of Qi training.

  "Xia Xiaoliang's means are really not few, letting you continue to live on, I will have a sense of danger." Duan Chen stood there awkwardly, his eyes staring at Xia Xiaoliang's eyes becoming more and more fierce.

  Xia Xiaoleng had just burst out, her whole body was a bit dizzy, although she had strong affinity with the Tuan Tuan, but it didn't mean she could directly mobilize the heaven and earth spiritual energy. Now that her dantian was empty, finding a way to escape was the priority.

  "Hehe... Ah! What's that, Duan Chen Gege? Today's weather is quite good, can we not talk about this? Let's chat about something else?" Xia Xiao Liang was somewhat at a loss, gesturing with her hands and feet, her eyes darting around the surrounding roads.

  "Are you trying to flee after realizing you can't beat me?" Duan Chen, although exhausted, stood up straight with a smile in his eyes as he looked at Xia Xiao Liang.

  That smile made Xia Xiao Liang's back feel chilly. She began to think about her own foundation, the Instantaneous Technique and the Five Elements Body due to the emptiness of her Dantian becoming useless, now thinking about it, there were only Thousand Illusions Technique and Treading on Flowers left!

  Using Qian Huan Shu to attack Duan Chen, then use Tuo Sha Xing to escape! Hmm, that's it! But... where to escape to?

  It's impossible to return to the Yu Yuanyuan Peak, where the cat tribe resides. Duan Chen can catch up in minutes, and it would only put the kittens in greater danger. Moreover, all the demons on the peak are eyeing them covetously, making it even more impossible to go back. As for returning to the Cat Children Mountain? It takes three hours to get there, and if they encounter any demons along the way, it's likely to lead to more trouble.

  Now, there is only one way... That is the human world! The nearest Yunshui country from here!

  After being determined in her heart, Xia Xiao Liang's smile became more and more tender as she said to Duan Chen: "Duan Chen brother, you misunderstood me. I only have this little skill, you're not unaware of it, how could I escape? Right? Besides, where can I run away from you?"

  "With a mouth so sweet, what kind of sinister plot are you concocting? I can even see your tail wagging like a little dog!" Duan Chen turned his head and caught sight of Xia Xiao Liang's white fluffy tail swishing back and forth.

  Xia Xiaoliang pouted, pretending to be wronged, and blinked her eyes: "Duan Chen Gege, I'm so sincere, you actually think of me like this, it really hurts me too much!"

  "Less nonsense, I saw you gloating when you called me a bald fox! Stop talking rubbish and come to die quickly!" Duan Chen couldn't take it anymore, this guy's acting cute and pretending to be innocent, he hurriedly gathered his mind, ready to catch her.

  Xia Xiaoliang looked at Duan Chen's back in surprise and shouted: "Brother Chuan!"

  Duan Chen turned back, Xia Xiao Liang hurriedly chanted an incantation, and the Thousand Illusions Technique was activated, transforming her into a fiery red fox with extremely vibrant fur. Xia Xiao Liang was amazed, realizing that she could transform into whatever she was with. Next time she used the Thousand Illusions Technique, she must stay far away from those insects and ugly things, otherwise it would be better to die than to transform into something like that!

  "Duan Chen, go die for me!" Xia XiaoLiang stretched out a pair of claws and scratched many deep marks on Duan Chen's back, with blood beads falling everywhere. In pain, Duan Chen let out a loud wail.

  Taking advantage of his pain, Xia Xiaoleng determined the direction and used Tasha Xing to rush towards Yunshui Country.

  Duan Chen reacted afterwards, only to realize he had fallen into Xia Xiao Liang's trap. He turned his head around but there was no sign of Xia Ming Chuan anywhere! However, it was already too late. After Xia Xiao Liang had tricked him, she quickly escaped. Looking at her speed, even in his prime, he might not have been able to catch up. But having just expended a great deal of energy and being injured, he now wanted to chase but was powerless to do so.
