Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1557 - 1555: It’s Not Up to You

"Little one, are you still going to make a move?" Lin Feng looked at the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox poised for action and said with a smile. Although he really wanted to capture the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox, he knew he couldn’t catch up to it, so he had to think of other ways to catch this little one by surprise.

"Human, no need to use reverse psychology, it won’t work!" The Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox replied coldly. It must be said, the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox was indeed very clever, refusing to be tricked at this moment.

"You even know about reverse psychology, impressive, truly impressive, hahaha!" Lin Feng laughed upon hearing the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox’s words, realizing this fox’s cunning was indeed unique compared to other demon beasts. If another demon beast heard this, they would have charged. Now, he wanted even more to capture this adorable little creature.

"Is this really a demon beast?" Su Xiaoxi was stunned upon hearing the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox speak this way and said dazedly. In her understanding, only humans were the most intelligent. She couldn’t comprehend how the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox had such wisdom, wondering what kind of brain this little thing had. It was incredible!

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxi’s remark, the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox’s eyes flared with a ferocious light. How could it not be a demon beast? It was clearly the most intelligent among demon beasts, yet this damned woman would look at it like this, making it very angry. It pondered on how to deal with Lin Feng and Su Xiaoxi...

"No worries, we have time. I estimate the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit will mature in less than an hour. Once it matures, all the fruit will be mine, hahaha..." Lin Feng said to the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox with a laugh, as if he really did not care about the fox, certain that the fruit would belong to him.

Hearing Lin Feng speak this way, the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox did not rush. It lay on the ground, eyes fixed on Lin Feng, circling inside the cave, contemplating how to deal with him, as it was determined to get the fruit. After waking up to find the spiritual energy so scarce, it realized the only way to enhance its power was through a spiritual medicine like the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit. Forced into a corner, without it realizing Lin Feng’s danger, it would have long left, even if that meant it couldn’t enhance its power. It wouldn’t risk itself.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. The Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox continued circling Lin Feng and Su Xiaoxi, observing for a chance to make a move. Meanwhile, Lin Feng had laid out a cushion on the ground and taken out some food to chat and eat with Su Xiaoxi, acting as if the fox didn’t exist at all.

Seeing this scene, the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox was almost enraged. It couldn’t believe Lin Feng would act so, disregarding its status as a demon king, treating it as if it didn’t exist—unforgivable! However, no matter how angry it was, the fox didn’t overestimate its capabilities, intuiting that Lin Feng was deliberately setting a trap waiting for it to take the bait. Hence, it refrained from acting, eyes fixed on Lin Feng, continuing to circle.

Nearly twenty minutes had passed, and the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox still hadn’t made a move. Lin Feng and Su Xiaoxi finished eating, and Lin Feng stood up, saying to Su Xiaoxi, "It’s about time. Since it’s maturing soon anyway, I’ll go pick the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit, and then we’ll leave here and not bother with this little one anymore."

After saying this, Lin Feng appeared ready to head towards the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit Tree to actually pick the fruit, but at that moment, the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox made its move. Not because it wanted to, but because seeing Lin Feng going to pick the fruit, it lost control of the situation. Having invested so much for the fruit, what would it do if Lin Feng took it? How could it enhance its power?

So in that moment, even though it didn’t want to, it had to act, but it didn’t attack Lin Feng directly; instead, it targeted Su Xiaoxi. To the fox’s thinking, Lin Feng had already distanced himself by about two meters from Su Xiaoxi. Even if Lin Feng managed to pull her back to him, it would still split his focus. As long as Lin Feng was distracted, it would have enough time to grab the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit. Although it wasn’t fully ripe, it couldn’t be concerned with that now.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of white light mixed with a bit of golden light burst instantly, shooting towards Su Xiaoxi. Seeing this, Lin Feng became flustered and immediately rushed to Su Xiaoxi’s side, simultaneously shrouding her with a seven-colored Gang Qi. Just as the Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox was about to strike, Lin Feng reached her side. Seeing Lin Feng finally fall into its trap, the fox suddenly changed direction in mid-air, shooting straight towards the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit. Its speed was unprecedentedly fast, so quick that it was almost invisible!

But it never expected that just as it passed by Lin Feng, the air seemed to solidify, slowing it down slightly. Instantly realizing things were going badly, it attempted to escape, but it was too late. Suddenly, Lin Feng’s hand reached out with an incredible speed, capturing the fox in his palm without it having a chance to react.

"You... you tricked me!" The Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox struggled incessantly in Lin Feng’s hand, its roar filled with endless unwillingness. It finally realized Lin Feng’s true strength, definitely a Human Immortal Realm powerhouse, not an ordinary one at that. It was just pretending to be weak to seize the opportunity to capture it. Despite all its calculations, it didn’t account for Lin Feng being so powerful, leaving it truly frustrated. Caught by such a person, it knew its fate was sealed...

"That’s right, I tricked you. As long as I catch you, everything else doesn’t matter." Watching the fox struggling in his hand, Lin Feng laughed as he spoke. After calculating for so long, he finally captured the cunning little creature. He hadn’t anticipated it would be so much trouble to catch it; the little one’s patience was truly extraordinary.

"Let me go, let me go, or I’ll self-destruct!" The Thousand Illusion Spirit Fox, more frustrated than ever, roared as it threatened. In fact, it was planning to self-destruct if Lin Feng didn’t release it. It would rather self-destruct than be at Lin Feng’s mercy.

"You’re wrong; in my hands, you don’t even have the qualification to self-destruct!" Hearing the fox’s suicidal threat, Lin Feng laughed. A mere mid-tier demon king-level beast talking about self-destruction in front of him was simply laughable. To make the fox behave, Lin Feng suddenly increased his grip strength, starting to squeeze down.

"Damn it, let go... damn it... I’m going to self-destruct, damn it, what did you do to me..." Feeling its life threatened, the fox struggled even more fiercely, blood even beginning to spill from its mouth. Desperate, it really began trying to reverse its demon core to self-destruct. What it didn’t expect was that no matter what it did, it couldn’t activate its core to self-destruct, nearly fainting in rage. It was its first time experiencing such a thing—unable to die even when it wanted to. This guy was too abnormal; what kind of monster was he...

"Lin Feng, please let it go, okay? It’s so pitiful." Su Xiaoxi, unable to bear it any longer, pleaded on the fox’s behalf. She couldn’t stand watching the adorable creature being strangled to death by Lin Feng.

"Let it go, and what if it causes trouble in the future?" Lin Feng asked Su Xiaoxi calmly.

"I think it won’t cause trouble..." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Su Xiaoxi was momentarily at a loss. Yes, even though the fox looked pitiful and cute, she had witnessed its power. Its speed was almost invisible. If Lin Feng weren’t here, she would be defenseless if it sought revenge. Even so, she didn’t want to see it strangled.

The fox, touched by Su Xiaoxi’s plea, didn’t expect her to intercede. However, it still believed Lin Feng wouldn’t release it; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort catching it.

"Releasing it isn’t impossible, just in another form." Lin Feng nodded at Su Xiaoxi’s words, feeling the fox’s body quiver in his hand. This was the result he wanted: for the fox to lose any hostility towards Su Xiaoxi. This outcome meant his earlier efforts hadn’t gone to waste.

Lin Feng’s words left both the fox and Su Xiaoxi puzzled, not understanding his meaning. But then, Lin Feng approached Su Xiaoxi, his single-handed gesture made a small cut on her forehead, allowing a few drops of crimson blood to hover in the air. Then, touching her forehead again, the wound vanished as if it had never existed.

Seeing him do this, Su Xiaoxi didn’t understand Lin Feng’s intent. However, the fox seemed to guess what he intended, struggling wildly and becoming frantic, shouting at Lin Feng, "No... no..."

"You have no say in this!" Lin Feng smiled calmly seeing the fox struggling even more vigorously. He then made some gestures with his other hand, drawing a unique symbol mid-air using Gang Qi.

"No..." In despair, having seen the symbol, the fox howled with reluctance. It never expected Lin Feng to have such plans. If it had known, it would have abandoned the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit and fled, too late to say anything now, completely trapped.
