Chapter 84: Anxious Fengxue
They brought out all of the women from the tent and gave them something to cover themselves with. The ones who had passed out were given treatment by Rongyu, and the rest only carried out ordinary treatment to help Dem stabilize until they were attended to by physicians.
The ones who were conscious were asked some questions by Leon's Senior sisters. They learned that these women were kidnapped by the bandits from different small villages or traveling caravans. The men with them were killed off, and the women were kept for their selfish uses; their properties were taken by the bandits.
"It's all right, the bandits have been killed, and you are now free. We'll take you back to the Broken Sword Town where you'll receive proper treatment before deciding on what to do next." Rongyu said to the women.
They waited for the women who were unconscious to wake up first before they returned to the town, they could not carry all of them.
While they waited, Leon and Fengxue sat together on top of a broken wagon and watched.
Fengxue suddenly lifted her fox head and looked in the direction of the forest, her eyes flashing with cold light.
Leon immediately noticed this and asked what Fengxue was looking at.
"They're close," Fengxue said, her tone filled with worry and killing intent.
This made Leon very uncomfortable, who could possibly make a powerful beast like Fengxue feel anxious?
"Who are you talking about?" He asked. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire
Fengxue turned to look at him, but she didn't answer and jumped down.
" Master, please come with me!" She said, her voice filled with urgency.
Leon had a confused expression as he looked at her. He wanted to know what was going on so badly, but Fengxue didn't look like she was going to say anything.
In the end, he took a deep breath before asking.
"Will it be dangerous?"
Fengxue froze for a few seconds before shaking her head; Leon breathed in relief before jumping down from the wagon; he followed behind Fengxue, and they moved toward the forest.
"Where are you going, Junior brother?"
Feifei's voice sounded from behind; the fox and man duo turned to look back; they saw Leon's Senior sisters were all looking at them, and even the women they had rescued were also looking over.
" I'll be right back; you can go back without me; I'll meet you in the town," Leon answered. He didn't even know where he was going yet since Fengxue refused to speak so how could he answer that question?
" Do you need me to come with you? I can protect you if anything happens." Feifei suggested as she took a step toward them. She was, after all, his Senior sister and was stronger than him; it was her duty to protect her Junior brother.
Adding to the fact that Leon was also the disciple of the Grand Elder and the direct Junior brother of the sect mistress, those two might eat them alive if anything happened to Leon.
Fengxue jumped on Leon's shoulder and looked Feifei right in the eyes before snorting.
"Hmph! Do you think you can protect him better than me? Mind your business and go back to the town by yourselves, I'll bring my Master back later." Fengxue moved her cute little tail while saying. She asked Leon to hurry right after.
Leon gave Feifei an apologetic smile before turning and running into the forest with impressive speed, he quickly vanished behind the trees.
Feifei stood rooted in place as she stared at the place where Leon was standing just a while ago, a weird expression on her face; it took her a while to recover and an awkward smile formed on her lips.
" The fox's words are harsh but true. Junior brother can't be any safer with it beside him." She shook her head and walked over to her fellow disciple.
Meanwhile, Leon started running deeper into the forest with Fengxue pointing out directions for him.
They ran for minutes before Fengxue suddenly jumped off Leon's shoulder and landed on the ground, she suddenly grew in size and reached a cray height of ten meters.
"You're not fast enough, I'll carry you," Fengxue said as she slept on the ground for Leon to climb onto her back.
Leon didn't take any offense in her words and climbed her body, he sat on her back and felt her soft fur with his hands; it was very nice to touch.
"Hang on tight," Fengxue said before shooting forward.
"Woah!" Leon screamed as his body tilted back suddenly and he almost fell off Fengxue's back. He hurriedly grabbed a handful of her fur in a tight grip and lowered himself so much that he was sleeping on her back.
Fengxue turned her head to look at Leon in her back while she ran, a happy expression could be seen on her fox face as her eyes gleamed with loving light that immediately changed into a cold glint after she faced forward.
She carried Leon and ran deeper into the forest, only stopping after they had traveled for ten minutes. With Fengxue's speed when running, they crossed dozens of kilometers through the forest and arrived outside the forest.
Only after Fengxue stopped running did Leon get up to look; he had closed his eyes throughout the entire journey.
Leon saw that they were currently standing on a short cliff; the forest was behind them, and in front of them was a large desert that stretched as far as his eyes could see.
"What are we doing here?" Leon asked in confusion; he could not see the reason why Fengxue had brought him here, or could it be that they hadn't reached yet and she wanted to rest?
"Fengxue!" Leon suddenly heard a deep voice from in front of him, his eyes gleamed with confusion as he looked around but wasn't able to see anyone.
"Down here, Master," Fengxue whispered to Leon as her size slowly reduced.
Only after she reached the size of a horse did Leon finally see who had spoken just now! He didn't see it previously because Fengxue's body was blocking his vision.
About seven meters in front of them were five people, all dressed in extravagant clothes and jewelry.
No, they shouldn't be called people as they had similar situations as Fengxue; they were all beasts in human form.
All of them had fox features just as Fengxue!
Leon looked in confusion. The group of five was made up of two old-looking men with fox ears and fox tails; they each had a single tail. A young-looking man with a dashing appearance that almost matched Leon's, he had black fox ears and a black fluffy tail behind him. A look of arrogance filled his face as he glared at Fengxue and Leon.
The last figure was an extremely beautiful woman with a striking resemblance to Fengxue; she had white fox ears and a white tail just like Fengxue as well; she looked like a beautiful 30 to 40-year-old woman.
Fengxue had changed back to her human form and was currently standing so close to Leon that their bodies were touching, she looked like she was trying to enter Leon.
Leon noticed that this made the young man on the other side more angry and his glaring became more intense.
"Master, you're the one who will protect me this time," Fengxue whispered to Leon while looking at the fox woman on the other side.
