Chapter 143 Nevermind, Hes Still A Fiend!
At the same time, inside Bai Qingyue’s residence in the Bestiary Coalition’s island, there silently stood a fuming Sovereign Lord, glaring at a small, snow fox.
"You useless thing. Are you incapable of handling one measly mortal?" Bai Qingyue’s rebuke descended on Bai Yu like a ton of bricks.
"Forgive me, Sire! Of course, I am able to! But Sire, I would never have thought she’d simply glide right over me!" Bai Yu was left confounded by his own failure. Originally, he had been a robust man of imposing stature. Nobody had dared to ignore his presence! Yet now, in this cub form, he was as intimidating as a newborn babe!
Bai Qingyue let out a deep sigh, pinching the space between his brows. "Never you mind. I have already summoned guards to accompany my consort. Go back to her side and keep your act for a while longer. Be my eyes and ears, inform me of everything you observe."
"Thank you, Sire, thank you!" Bai Yu teared up, clutching a paw to his chest. ’Is my lord becoming more forgiving? I thought he’d kill me, or at the very least, torture me!’
"Scram!" The Fox Lord snarled.
Just as Bai Yu was about to tell His Lordship of the possible Plant Spirit love rival, and Her Ladyship’s reading material in the Bai clan’s ancestral dimension, a murderous force of energy directly erupted from Bai Qingyue. FoxFire gushed out in a sea of flames across the hall.
The Snow Fox promptly disappeared with a loud yelp as he narrowly avoided His Lordship’s attack. Bai Yu transformed into a puff of smoke as he transported himself back to Li Meirong’s garden. ’Nevermind, he’s still a fiend!’
As Bai Yu departed, the Sovereign Lord summoned the servants waiting outside the hall.
"You may enter."
Immediately, a throng of Fox Spirits materialized in front of him, bowing deeply in reverence.
"Your Highness, we await your orders." It was the high ranked servant, Lang Ju, who dared to speak. All of the Fox Spirits kept their noses pointed at the ground.
"Assemble a team and acquire all the information you can find about my consort’s history in the sect and outside of it. I wish to discover all of her previous relationships, familial or otherwise. Especially with the men she acquainted herself with."
As Bai Qingyue delivered his orders, the vision of Li Meirong’s traumatized features surfaced in his mind. Knowing that when he met her for the first time, she had been so young, caused him to feel all the more troubled. He couldn’t help imagining what may have triggered such a deep reaction from her to be shocked into stillness.
