Chapter 1288 - 115: If It Were Her, I’d Endure a Lifetime of Bullying
But if the person involved is Yun Sheng, even if he is bullied all his life, he would accept it.
Lu’s eyes flashed slightly.
"Yun Sheng, tomorrow you will set out for the northern side of the Sky Fox Tribe. I hope to hear good news from you," Lu said, a smile playing at his lips.
"Thank you for your kind words, Young Clan Chief. I shall take my leave first," Yun Sheng nodded, exchanged a few polite words, and was about to depart.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing there?" A rude voice suddenly interjected from behind.
Hu Linglong ran over, full of fury.
Over the past few days, she had heard that Lu was residing in the Heavenly Fox Palace and had been concocting excuses to visit the palace, but Lu always shut his doors to her.
Finally, today, she ran into Lu, only to find that the cursed mixed blood Heavenly Fox was there too.
A moment ago, she had seen Yun Sheng and Lu standing very close together from afar, and noticed Lu’s flushed face.
Hu Linglong had known Lu for so long and had never seen this expression on his face.
He gazed tenderly at Yun Sheng, as if no one else could catch his eye.
The thought that Yun Sheng might become the Holy Daughter and marry Lu made Hu Linglong’s heart churn with jealousy.
"Hu Linglong, it’s none of your concern what we’re doing," Yun Sheng hadn’t yet settled accounts with her for scheming with Yu Shang last time.
"You mixed-blood bastard, don’t think that with your luck you can be so arrogant. Let me tell you, a lowly creature like you can never become the Heavenly Fox Saintess. And don’t you dare covet Brother Lu, he is mine," Hu Linglong said, clutching Lu’s arm.
Lu’s gaze chilled, and he swiftly withdrew his hand, glancing at Yun Sheng, afraid she might misunderstand.
"Hu Linglong, what nonsense are you spouting? There is nothing between us."
Lu and Hu Linglong stood at an impasse, as Yun Sheng watched them, already burdened with enough troubles, and was unwilling to involve herself in any love triangle.
"Young Clan Chief, I’ll take my leave first. Hu Linglong, the position of Heavenly Fox Saintess, is mine," Yun Sheng declared as she strode away.
"Hu Linglong, next time, if you dare speak such nonsense before Yun Sheng, don’t blame me for being rude." Lu was also angry, having been repeatedly pestered by Hu Linglong, he was thoroughly annoyed.
"Brother Lu, you... you know I like you. Is it because of that Yun Sheng? What’s so good about her? She’s just a mixed-blood bastard, she’s not worthy of you," Hu Linglong said, agitated since never had anyone dared treat her this way.
"I like Yun Sheng, regardless of whether she is Heavenly Fox or Human Clan. She’s the only one I will marry in this lifetime." Lu’s words left Hu Linglong feeling like she was sinking into an icy pit, her heart grew cold.
"You and her are impossible. Just you wait; as long as I’m around, Yun Sheng will never become the Heavenly Fox Saintess." Hu Linglong stomped her foot and, seething with anger, ran out of the Heavenly Fox Palace.
That damned Yun Sheng’s appearance had shattered all of Hu Linglong’s plans.
She had lost the position of Heavenly Fox Saintess and lost Lu as well.
Lu had already devoted himself entirely to that woman.
Having departed the Heavenly Fox Palace, Lu’s words lingered in Hu Linglong’s mind.
No matter what, she could not let Yun Sheng succeed.
Hu Linglong ran all the way to the Witch Doctor Tower; she had to find Yu Shang. When she agreed to cooperate with Yu Shang back then, Yu Shang had personally promised to help her win over Lu.
"Yu Shang, come out here." Hu Linglong had initially been somewhat wary of the Witch Doctor Tower.
However, being maddened by Lu’s words, she ignored the rumors about the Witch Doctor Tower and rushed outside it in anger.
Hu Linglong had only learned a few months earlier that Yu Shang was supported by the Great Witch Doctor of the Sky Fox Tribe.
"Hu Linglong, why are you shouting?" The ancient voice of the Great Witch Doctor suddenly appeared behind Hu Linglong, startling her.
"Great... Great Witch Doctor, I’m here to find Yu Shang. She promised me that if I cooperated with her, once she became the Heavenly Fox Saintess, she would help me make Lu devoted to me. But now Yun Sheng is back, and Lu still ignores me." Facing the Great Witch Doctor, Hu Linglong’s spirits faltered.
Yet as she thought of Yun Sheng and Lu’s affectionate interaction, and how she had always been ignored by Lu, she mustered her courage.
"Master Yu Shang has not yet become the Saintess; if you want to blame someone, blame that Yun Sheng." The Great Witch Doctor glanced at Hu Linglong.
This stupid pureblood Sky Fox was indeed restless, and if her demand wasn’t met, she would likely make a big noise.
"Then have Yu Shang find a way to kill that mixed-blood Heavenly Fox. She is nothing but a mongrel; how dare she become the Heavenly Fox Saintess." Hu Linglong gritted her teeth.
"I do have a method to deal with Yun Sheng, preventing her from becoming the Saintess. However, this method requires your cooperation," the Great Witch Doctor’s voice was as enticing as a serpent’s.
"What method? As long as Yun Sheng can’t become the Saintess, I’m willing to do anything." Hu Linglong asked impulsively.
"You know, in a day or so, Master Yu Shang and Yun Sheng will head north and south to gather the Power of Faith. If in the meantime another Yun Sheng appears in the north, and she commits evil everywhere, what do you think will happen?" The Great Witch Doctor’s words brought a gleam of joy to Hu Linglong’s face.
If another "Yun Sheng" were to act wickedly in the area, naturally, the local Heavenly Fox people would not support her, let alone grant her any Power of Faith.
"But where can we find a woman identical to Yun Sheng at this time? Hu Sheng did look quite similar, but Hu Sheng died long ago." Hu Linglong gritted her teeth.
"Linglong, you actually bear some resemblance to Yun Sheng. Here is a Divine Talisman; you just need to take it back, burn it to ash and drink it, while imagining Yun Sheng’s appearance, and you can become exactly like her. In this way, you can impersonate Yun Sheng and do as you please," the Great Witch Doctor explained, producing a mysterious Black Talisman.
The talisman bore a strong resemblance to the mysterious Black Talisman that Bo Bo and Little Yingying feared earlier.
Hu Linglong looked at the talisman, feeling a bit of resistance.
After all, she had heard from her father, Hu Qiansui, that the Great Witch Doctor was not an easy person to deal with.
She consistently found both the Great Witch Doctor and Yu Shang strange, and each instance of seeing them gave her a creepy feeling.
But as she recalled Lu’s earlier cold words, any last trace of hesitation in Hu Linglong’s heart vanished.
She took the talisman and promptly left the Witch Doctor Tower.
"Foolish woman, before your body gets consumed by Divine Power, you can at best be somewhat useful." The Great Witch Doctor sneered, her eyes glinting with malice.
