Chapter Ninety-Nine: Subduing the White Jade Tiger Wolf Beast

The Following Day

Yunchuxue intended to discuss something with Yushi. As she pushed open the door, she was stunned.

A group of people dressed in black stood neatly in the courtyard, numbering over a hundred.

Was this Yushi's Spiritualist Army? Why did they look like a gang?

"Who are you?"

"Madam Commander-in-Chief, we are the Shadow Legion secretly trained by the Commander-in-Chief, responsible for guarding this place. I am the captain of the Shadow Legion."

"Why are you stationed here?"

"The Commander-in-Chief has ordered that Madam Commander-in-Chief is not allowed to leave Snow World Garden."

Not allowed to leave? What was Yushi playing at?

"Step aside, I have something to attend to."

Yunchuxue took a step forward but was blocked by the crowd. "Please return, Madam Commander-in-Chief."

"Do you think you can stop me?"

"We cannot stop you, but we are acting on orders. Please don't make it difficult for us."

"Fine, whatever." With that, she turned and went back inside, slamming the door shut.

Yunchuxue sat there, irritated. "What does Yushi mean by this?"

"He probably doesn't want you to leave. After all, you possess demonic power. If you were to stand with the Demon Sect, the Spiritualist Academy would have another formidable enemy."

Yunchuxue sighed, looking out the window. "I want to go to the southern forest to find a spiritual beast."

"Who?"

"The Beast God, the Bloodbath Kirin."

"What for?"

"I want to unite with it to resist the Demon Sect."

"That's a good plan, but it's extremely risky. Although you have had interactions with it before, there's no guarantee it will agree. Think about it, how could it hand over the fate of all spiritual beasts to you?"

Yunchuxue snorted. "Then we'll just fight until it agrees."

Domineering, very domineering. But Moxian liked Yunchuxue's character, a woman who only spoke with her fists.

"The captain of the Shadow Legion."

Upon hearing Yunchuxue call him, the captain stepped forward, saluting respectfully. "What orders do you have, Madam Commander-in-Chief?"

"I miss my daughter. Can you bring her here?"

"Of course."

Without further ado, the captain walked to the door of Yuzixi's room. He knocked three times and politely said, "Is Miss here? The Madam Commander-in-Chief misses you and wants you to come over."

"I'm coming." Yuzixi opened the door, looking at the man in black with some wariness. "Who are you?"

"I am from the Shadow Legion trained by Lord Yushi."

"...Okay."

Yuzixi followed him, and upon seeing the Shadow Legion filling the courtyard, she fell into thought.

What was Dad planning?

Yuzixi pushed open the door and saw Yunchuxue sitting at the table. She ran over and said coquettishly, "Mommy, do you miss me?"

"Mm, Mommy misses you a lot."

Yunchuxue lovingly stroked Yuzixi's little head. "Xixi, Mommy might have to leave for a while."

Yuzixi's face, filled with smiles, instantly dimmed. "Does Mommy not want Xixi anymore?"

"No, no, Mommy needs to go to the southern forest to handle something."

"Then can Xixi go with Mommy?" Yuzixi pleaded with her eyes.

"Well..." Yunchuxue thought for a moment, then made up her mind. "Okay."

"Really? When are we leaving?"

"Now."

"Now?"

At noon, the Shadow Legion stood still, and suddenly, the door was flung open. A flash shot out from the door, and the captain looked toward the direction of the flash, seeing Yunchuxue standing with Yuzixi in mid-air.

"Madam Commander-in-Chief, what is the meaning of this?"

"Go back and tell Yushi, I'm going to the southern forest. Let Shen Zixuan go to the northern forest to find the Pixiu."

With that, she disappeared from the spot.

The captain stood still, dumbfounded. At this moment, a subordinate came over. "Captain, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Tell the truth."

Yunchuxue took Yuzixi and bypassed Qingyun Pass from the south.

Three Days Later

Mother and daughter landed in the southern forest.

Yuzixi murmured sleepily, "Mommy, I'm sleepy."

Yunchuxue found a relatively quiet spot, spread a blanket under a tree, and let Yuzixi lie down to sleep. Yunchuxue sat beside her, watching her beloved daughter with a loving smile.

The next morning.

Yuzixi opened her sleepy eyes and saw Yunchuxue lost in thought, gazing ahead.

The movement of Yuzixi getting up startled Yunchuxue, who quickly turned around to see Yuzixi looking at her obediently.

"Mommy, what are you thinking about?"

Yunchuxue didn't speak, just smiled and patted Yuzixi's head affectionately.

Yunchuxue got up, folded the blanket, and took Yuzixi deeper into the forest.

As they went deeper, the trees grew taller, casting darker shadows. Yuzixi subconsciously hugged Yunchuxue's arm tightly.

After walking deeper for half a day, they reached a spacious and flat area, silent with no sound.

Yunchuxue cautiously moved forward. When they reached the middle, a beast, neither a wolf nor a tiger, leaped out of the forest towards Yunchuxue and Yuzixi.

Yunchuxue instantly activated her spatial domain, immobilizing the beasts in mid-air.

Yunchuxue shouted, "Come out, what's the point of hiding?"

"Human, you're too arrogant."

Suddenly, another beast, much larger than the others, leaped out of the forest. It roared to the sky, causing the ground to tremble. The beasts, previously immobilized, regained their freedom and gathered around it.

"The White Jade Tiger Wolf Beast, one of the Ten Fierce Beasts."

"Human, you have sharp eyes!" The beast king looked smugly at Yunchuxue.

At this moment, the king's pupils dilated suddenly as it stared at Yunchuxue, questioning, "Who are you? I feel like I've seen you somewhere."

"Yunchuxue," she replied calmly.

The king was suddenly startled and instinctively took a step back.

Yuzixi, curious, asked in a low voice, "Mommy, why does it seem so afraid when it hears your name?"

"Because back then, your mommy was one of a kind among the spiritual beasts. Naturally, they fear me."

"Wow, Mommy is amazing."

The king slowly approached. Yuzixi, frightened, hid behind Yunchuxue.

When the king was less than ten steps away from Yunchuxue, it knelt down and apologized.

"I didn't know you were here. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me."

"I won't forgive you."

This sentence from Yunchuxue terrified the king, who trembled. "Then what does Your Excellency want? I will do my best to fulfill it. Please spare us."

"You frightened my daughter just now."

The king hurriedly apologized to Yuzixi, "I'm sorry, Miss. It was not intentional."

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

"Thank you, Miss."

"I have a request," Yunchuxue said calmly.

"What request? I will do my best to fulfill it."

"Let your White Jade Tiger Wolf Beast pack follow me."

Upon hearing this, the king hesitated. After a while, it said, "I wonder what Your Excellency wants our pack to do?"

"Help me suppress the Demon Sect."

The king heard the term 'Demon Sect' for the first time and asked curiously, "Which force is that on the continent?"

"They are an evil organization. They have already occupied half of the continent. If they occupy the entire continent, their next target will be the spiritual beasts."

Yunchuxue's words made the king determined. "Okay, I agree."
