My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Real Battle

Wu Xia bid farewell to the two, then left Fan Ruoruo’s body and returned to his own.

He looked at the colorful fog before him with a complex expression, already aware that it had been set up for him.

The Dark Emperor was purposefully inciting discord between him and the Four Great Divine Beasts, and although Wu Xia knew that continuing to fight this way would cause problems, he had no choice but to fight.

Wu Xia adjusted his mood and stepped into the yellow fog.

If it was necessary to fight, then so be it!

Upon entering the fog, there was neither the expected poison gas nor the sensation of corrosion.

This place was like a painting scroll world, an isolated space.

Although it was already dark outside, here the sun was still shining brightly, the temperature comfortable, with high mountains and flowing waters, the scenery picturesque.

If Wu Xia did not know that this place was where the Four Great Divine Beasts were located, he might have doubted if he had entered a mortal paradise.

Wu Xia did not continue forward. He stopped, calmly observing ahead, the Power of Soul already spread out, sensing everything in this world.

This was just a singular world, actually not as vast as a painting scroll world, but the combination of the Formation and the Ten Thousand Forest created a strong presence.

Wu Xia’s Soul Power had just expanded when he immediately saw the entire world clearly.

At the same time, a cold Killing Aura rushed toward him from afar.

"Kid, you really dare to come!"

A brusque voice came from a distance as two figures, one white and one azure, rapidly approached.

The man in the azure figure looked exceptionally gentle, like a scholar, graceful yet his eyes carried a sharp edge, staring intently at Wu Xia.

The white figure was much more robust, resembling a swordsman with his hands clasped behind his back, standing unfathomably by the side, looking at Wu Xia with interest.

Wu Xia quickly identified them, Azure Dragon and White Tiger.

"Get out of here before I make my move!"

Azure Dragon shouted furiously.

How could he swallow his pride when someone dared to steal the woman he loved right in front of him?

Wu Xia smiled slightly, still very courteously saluting, "Elder, I’m only here to seek the Phoenix Essence Blood to save my wife. I did not know that it would require such a union to obtain it!"

"I also must trouble you to help me during the union with Elder Vermilion Bird, to hand over the Essence Blood to me!"

"Whatever Elder might request, I will do my utmost to satisfy you both."

"After all, I love my wife, and Elder Azure Dragon loves Elder Vermilion Bird. I understand the power of loving someone, and I hope Elder Azure Dragon can grant me this favor!"

These maneuvers somewhat dumbfounded Azure Dragon.

He thought Wu Xia had come to wrest the woman he loved from him, ready to beat up this youngster, but the latter welcomed him with a smile and spoke so agreeably, leaving him embarrassingly at a loss.

Wu Xia had actually considered a direct confrontation, but upon seeing Azure Dragon and White Tiger, he instantly dismissed the idea.

He couldn’t fall into someone else’s trap and let others benefit from their conflict.

Especially since the orchestrator behind this was unknown, if he fought with the Divine Beasts, the outcome would be mutually assured destruction, plunging this world into crisis eventually.

This was not what Wu Xia wanted to see.

"Cough, cough!" Azure Dragon coughed twice, containing his anger, revealing a hint of a smile, "Do you also think that Vermilion Bird and I are a pair?"

"Uh!" Wu Xia was slightly startled, guessing from Azure Dragon’s expression that it was unrequited love.

But he couldn’t state it plainly, so he ambiguously countered, "Are you and Elder Vermilion Bird not a couple?"

"Ah, this..." The counterquestion made Azure Dragon even more embarrassed.

He had made such a fuss to come here; if Vermilion Bird had nothing to do with him, what would that make him? A lovesick fool?

Azure Dragon too had his pride; how could he admit that?

But if he claimed that he and Vermilion Bird were a couple, and if Vermilion Bird found out, she would undoubtedly beat him up and ignore him for a long time.

This outcome was not what Azure Dragon had wanted.

As a bystander, White Tiger instantly burst out laughing, "Haha!"

The color drained from Azure Dragon’s face, and he immediately clenched his teeth and said, "Who told you we’re not a pair? Vermilion Bird and I are naturally matched!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a fierce shout came from the sky.

"Azure Dragon, are you itching for a beating again? If you spread rumors again, I’ll tear your face off!"

A clear voice rang out as a striking red figure floated down.

That fiery red skirt traced a beautiful streak across the sky, falling like a shooting star.

Azure Dragon hurriedly shrank his neck and stood frozen in place.

White Tiger quickly moved back, fearing he might get involved.

When Wu Xia recognized the newcomer’s face, he was completely dumbfounded.

The figure, cloaked in flames, possessed a pristine, delicate cheek.

The exquisite face, set against the flames, did not seem fierce at all; rather, it was pleasing to the eye and incredibly comfortable to gaze upon.

This extraordinary beauty, mixed with a touch of worldly charm, was utterly enchanting.

At that moment, Wu Xia was almost mesmerized.

Vermilion Bird noticed Wu Xia’s gaze and glared at him coldly, "Keep staring, and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs!"

Wu Xia snapped back to reality, his cheeks flushing slightly, but he did not look away and kept his eyes fixed on Vermilion Bird, "So beautiful. It’s worth losing my eyes to look at you a bit longer!"

Boom!

"What?"

Azure Dragon and White Tiger widened their eyes.

They knew Vermilion Bird’s temper well. To dare tease her like this, was he seeking death?

Azure Dragon, trying to show off, immediately jumped out, "You rascal, to insult Vermilion Bird like that, I won’t let you off easily today!"

Vermilion Bird’s brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Wu Xia with a cold, contemplative gaze, not stopping Azure Dragon from intervening.

Seeing that Vermilion Bird did not stop him, Azure Dragon cared about nothing else but to teach Wu Xia a lesson, hoping to make up for his own mistake.

"So pretty, yet one can’t look or praise?"

Wu Xia replied calmly.

When he first saw Azure Dragon and White Tiger, he caught onto something but couldn’t quite put it into words.

But when Vermilion Bird appeared, Wu Xia suddenly understood.

These Divine Beasts, although all Guardian Gods with immense strength, have a childlike demeanor.

Especially their behavior, which resembled children playing house.

"You’re not supposed to look!"

Azure Dragon roared, his fist already swinging towards Wu Xia’s face.

Wu Xia’s body instantly vanished from the spot, and Azure Dragon swung at empty air.

Boom!

"What?"

Azure Dragon and White Tiger’s eyes widened, both of them stunned.

Even Vermilion Bird was taken aback, her expression suddenly changing.

"Where... where did he go?"
