Humans devour, and the proverb "living off a woman is eternal" holds true.

"Ye Lan, check your AI assistant. Have you received any military merit notifications?"

Lin Hao asked curiously.

"My lord, we have not received it."

Ye Lan glanced at the arm guard and said.

really……

The 17.2 billion military merits, if converted into money, would be equivalent to more than 10,000 Hunyuan units, comparable to the entire fortune of many immortal gods.

Not to mention that those spoils of war were worth a little money.

……

Lin Hao's team's E-class spaceship continued to fly over Wanshi Island. Considering that he had underestimated the Saintess Group's combat capabilities, as well as his 'True Manifestation of Dharma' which could be amplified a hundredfold, Lin Hao decided to stay.

The spaceship headed directly towards the main continent.

Wanshi Island is incredibly vast, and without traversing the dark universe, it would naturally take a considerable amount of time to completely traverse it.

Lin Hao wasn't always rushing. When he encountered targets detected by the detectors, he would strike quietly and swiftly, and the battles would last only a short time before he left immediately afterward.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since I ventured to Wanshi Island, triggering twelve battles, and not a single enemy has survived!

They amassed over 100 billion military merits in total!

As they were about to leave Wanshi Island, unsurprisingly, an unexpected event occurred.

Lin Hao made his first move and saved a survivor from the Holy Maiden Group!

After the humanoid puppet bodies of a group of demon race members were shattered by the Holy Maiden Group, even when their enormous true forms were revealed, they were all struggling to hold on.

Lin Hao wasn't interested at first, until he saw it.

It was a small, nine-tailed fox that stood out conspicuously among its ferocious and enormous demon companions.

Its physical form was not as majestic as the mountains that Lin Hao had seen in other demon races.

But its beauty and uniqueness instantly captured Lin Hao's attention.

With its fluffy, snow-white petite body, innocent and pure eyes, pitiful scars, and frail appearance, it aroused Lin Hao's most primal protective instincts.

So Lin Hao stepped in and saved it.

Lin Hao ignored the reminders from the Holy Maidens and the advice from Babata.

Given his extraordinary talent, it's quite reasonable for him to keep a demon as a pet.

As for this little thing, although it also has the strength to be ennobled, others are afraid that it will suddenly attack and hurt people, but he is not afraid at all, so he naturally held it in his arms and rubbed it hard!

……

Huan Yue curled up behind a huge demon corpse, her snow-white fur stained with the warm blood of her companions and herself, like a tragic red plum blossom blooming in the snow.

Deep within his cold, vertical pupils burned a flame of humiliation and despair.

'Damn humans... They're clearly just realm lords, how come they're so easily defeated when we reveal our true forms?!'

The chill made her more desperate than her physical injuries.

There's no escape!

Watching her comrades fall one by one under the onslaught of those human realm lords, who were dressed in gorgeous gowns but were extremely ruthless, Huan Yue's heart sank to the bottom.

Boundless rage mixed with the grief of losing her comrades almost overwhelmed her reason.

"We'll fight to the death! Even if we die, we'll take someone down with us..."

She quietly gathered all her immortal divine power and locked onto the person in the Saintess Order who was closest to her. She couldn't defeat him in a fight, so she could only... perish together with him.

When Lin Hao suddenly made his move, the magnificent projection of the world instantly suppressed the entire scene and easily 'scooped' her up.

An incomparably powerful force descended!

Huan Yue only felt a blur before her eyes as the deadly energy storm suddenly subsided. Her body was enveloped by an irresistible yet unusually 'gentle' force, instantly escaping that suffocating killing ground.

The lingering pain and exhaustion made her consciousness somewhat blurred, and she only felt that she had fallen into a warm atmosphere that was completely different from the cold and bloody battlefield.

'What?! This power... how... is this possible?!'

An unprecedented shock impacted her already fragile nerves.

'Him? He's the strongest in this group...the leader?! And also a realm lord? Why did he save me?'

The cold, hard thought instantly overwhelmed the excruciating physical pain.

'Does he like me the way I am now? Isn't he afraid of the tribe's rules? Unless... he doesn't care?'

As a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Huan Yue has a good understanding of human aesthetics. If it weren't for the battlefield outside the realm, Huan Yue is confident that she could also use her beauty to her advantage.

Looking at the seemingly beautiful but actually ruthless human women around her, Huan Yue understood!

'You like youthfulness? You like purity? Ha, what a foolish and low-level aesthetic!'

He sneered inwardly, a mixture of humiliation and twisted relief at surviving such a close call.

'Yes, that must be it! Only such a superficial reason would make a powerhouse of this level take a demon prisoner away from a deadly attack!'

She made a judgment immediately.

'Power! I need power! As long as I'm alive... there's still a chance!'

'Show weakness to the enemy! Lay low!'

A strong will to survive instantly overwhelmed the thought of dying together with others.

Forcibly suppressing the self-destruction that was only halfway through its activation, the enormous backlash caused another mouthful of primordial blood to gush from the corner of her mouth, but she controlled it, letting it wet the downy hair on her chin, making her look even more miserable and pitiful.

She strained to make her huge vertical pupils round and full, revealing utter fear and vulnerable bewilderment. Her body trembled, and she tried her best to imitate the posture of the most harmless and lovable little animal, using her last bit of strength to let out a weak, helpless, and desperate whimper.

'Survive... Only by surviving is there a possibility of revenge... For now, let's call him master...'

A sarcastic term flashed through her mind.

Those rough yet strangely warm hands kneaded her earlobes without restraint, stroked the thickest and softest fur on her back, and even rubbed the soft downy hair on her belly without any politeness!

The excruciating physical pain and extreme humiliation almost caused Huan Yue to lose control again!

'Insolence! Rudeness! Despicable…'

Anger surged and roared in his veins.

'How could they treat the noble Nine-Tailed Royal Bloodline like this?!'

She wanted nothing more than to tear that face, which was beaming with interest, to shreds with her claws!

But reason fiercely suppressed instinct.

"Endure! For survival! Resisting now is suicide!"

She could clearly sense the power Lin Hao had unleashed when he saved her; it was a terrifying level that even she, in her prime, could not match.

More importantly, she sensed the undisguised hostility and vigilance from the women around her and that purple little devil-like being, who seemed to be an intelligent life form.

'Wait until I recover...'

Humiliation transformed into an unwavering desire.

She could only obediently curl up and let them do as they pleased, even rubbing her cool little nose against the big hand that was teasing her ear, making even softer, stickier, and more ingratiating hums.

'You despicable humans, just wait and see! The humiliation you suffer today will be repaid a thousandfold one day!'

In the days that followed, Huan Yue was taken in by Lin Hao's side, and day after day, she remained hidden by his side.

To her surprise, she discovered that this seemingly rough and capricious man possessed an extremely unique aura, containing a primal and boundless vitality, like the finest nectar, which held an indescribable attraction for her.

Every time Lin Hao unintentionally released his aura after cultivation or battle, she became obsessed with it.

Her severed tail is regenerating, the scar on her forehead is fading, and even her damaged essence is slowly repairing itself.

'This aura... how is this possible...'

Huan Yue's shock deepened day by day.

'More alluring than the most refined Ice Essence of my clan's sacred land? This...this seems to contain fragments of laws closer to the origin of the world?'

She greedily and secretly absorbed these scents, like rain after a long drought.

'Is this why he's so powerful?'

However, as her dependence grew stronger, a bold and forbidden idea also began to fester in her heart:

'Simply absorbing his unintentionally dissipated aura has such miraculous effects... what if one were to directly extract the core law imprint from him using a dual cultivation technique?'

The thought itself made her heart skip a beat.

'My strength will surely recover quickly, and may even surpass it!'

'And his team... that little purple demon AI, those ten World Lords who are comparable to immortal warriors at the Marquis level!'

A flame of ambition ignited deep within Huan Yue's cold eyes.

'What if I could... control him?'

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's innate soul technique, "Bewitching Spirit," is a natal technique deeply rooted in their bloodline. It has unparalleled miraculous effects on soul control, especially when the target is relaxed, has a weak will, or... is lost in lust!

Especially for someone of royal blood like her, once she uses herself as a medium to unleash her full power, the force is unpredictable.

'With my weakened fox cub form, getting close to him is already my limit; I can't possibly unleash the true power of "Bewitching Charm." And that purple intelligent life form... has been monitoring me the whole time!'

Huan Yue glanced at Baba Tower, which was floating beside her.

'Once my true nature is restored, I will take human form... with the unparalleled beauty of my race's legend! Combined with my innate allure and soul-stirring power...'

She began to mentally rehearse that insane thought:

'After regaining my original form, I'll seize the opportunity to transform into a perfect human body… a form that is both pure and fatally alluring… to completely lower his guard and arouse his… possessiveness!'

'When he's lost in passion and his mind is completely absorbed at the peak... that's when his soul's defenses are most vulnerable!'

'That will be the time to unleash the true power of "Bewitching Charm"! I will brand his soul with my eternal mark! I will make him my most loyal...servant! All that he possesses—his power, his secrets, his influence...will be mine!'

Just thinking about the enormous rewards that this plan could bring if it succeeded—not only could it avenge a blood feud, but it could also instantly control a terrifying force capable of dominating battlefields beyond the realm, and even restore the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to its former glory!

The immense temptation completely outweighed the danger of the plan and the potential consequences of failure.

'The risks are enormous... but the rewards... are worth risking everything!'
