When Bai Qingyue left Li Meirong"s abode, he immediately descended the floating island. Lightning shot down from the skies and a powerful oppressive air engulfed his malevolent figure
The calm, gentle night had turned into a fierce storm and the tranquil ocean waters had grown turbulent. The waves had reached so high that isles below were tragically impacted by a tsunami.
Meanwhile, as the Fox Lord gradually flew to the nearby mountain. His shape had altered into that of an enormously great white fox with eight elongated tails swinging behind him, similar to an emperor"s descent from a royal throne, dragging a heavy cloak while strolling along the way.
When the majestic fox finally reached the ground, the earth shook and cracked beneath his heavy gait.
A horde of foxes waited for Bai Qingyue at the foot of the mountain, a collection of servants and warriors mixed together, bowing low and prostrating themselves in honour of His Lords.h.i.+p"s arrival.
The Fox Lord"s b.e.s.t.i.a.l form was both fearful and majestic to the eye of the beholder. Unlike a common fox, a Celestial-Fox G.o.d"s true form was anything but adorable. Bai Qingyue"s extended snout appeared altogether terrifying, a row of countless gleaming sharp teeth threateningly peeked out from a slightly parted mouth. The white ears atop the fox"s head were quite long and pointed, and the heavy silvery coat was unable to conceal the well-toned shape of a predator lurking underneath.
A pair of vicious looking eyes curved like crescent moons contained slit pupils and shone like bright jewels in the nighttime.
This was indeed a vision of a beautiful yet terrible beast, prompting both wors.h.i.+p and fear from those who witness its regal presence.
The Fox Lord didn"t utter a single word. He simply stood there, his imposing presence and bone-chilling eyes portraying his displeasure to perfection.
After a minute of petrifying silence, it was the newly appointed Captain of the Guard who attempted to approach the enraged Fox Lord, slowly stepping forward in front of the elite squadron.
Bai Cuifeng shapes.h.i.+fted into a human form, a gorgeous looking maiden with dark hair and attractive green eyes. Though sadly, those breathtaking emerald eyes only dared to focus on the gigantic paws in front of her as she addressed His Lords.h.i.+p, cupping her hands in a gesture of salute.
"Milord, we come with urgent news! Our scouts have spotted your mother"s presence in this very world."
The Fox Lord breathed noisily and forcefully through the nose, expressing his contempt.
"Bai Cuifeng, have you grown tired of living? You dare summon this Lord merely for this piece of intelligence?" Bai Qingyue hissed. His low voice reverberated throughout the mountains with unconcealed power, "Do you know the penalty of summoning my presence for an unjust cause?"
The Captain of The Guard"s shoulders quivered in fright. She didn"t understand the reason for His Lords.h.i.+p"s terrible ire, but knew she had to come clean with everything she had known in order to escape an untimely death!
"No Milord! This subordinate does not dare bother Milord unless called for. If not for your own well-being, this subordinate would never have thought to summon Milord!"
The enormous Celestial-Fox uttered a frightening growl in retort, flexing his large claws on the ground and dividing the mountain in two, "My well-being, you say?"
Bai Qingyue"s desire to kill only intensified. He was so close to finally claiming his chosen female which he sought for so long and this vixen dared to say she interrupted his most precious moment for his sake?!
The servants and guards at the scene leapt to the air as the ground split open beneath them.
Bai Cuifeng"s elegant eyebrows wrinkled into a deep frown as she knelt frozen to the spot, nearly falling into the open cracks underneath her. She tried to quickly a.n.a.lyze the reason for His Lords.h.i.+p"s rage but came up with nothing!
