Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 171

Ren Qingyue thought of Yan Zhao again.

But that bold and greedy thought flashed through her mind briefly before her rationality suppressed it, refusing to let it resurface.

Although, by the standards of the cultivation world, she wasn't that old, and there were still many possibilities in her future.

Yet, she would most likely devote herself entirely to the Dao, living a solitary life.

Naturally, she couldn't share these thoughts with the Fox Queen, so she quietly kept them to herself.

The Fox Queen's attention remained on Ren Qingyue, and with just a glance, she sharply sensed the subtle shift in her mood.

The reason for this change was, in some way, related to what the Fox Queen had said earlier.

The Fox Queen seemed to realize something but chose not to bring it up. Instead, she picked up a flower wreath and handed Ren Qingyue a string of candies from a nearby stall, skillfully changing the topic.

Ren Qingyue took the candy but didn't eat it, simply twirling it between her fingers.

She thought: Ah Zhao would definitely like these treats meant to please children.

As they walked, a sudden cheer erupted from up ahead, followed by applause.

Ren Qingyue looked toward the sound and saw that someone in the city was hosting a martial arts competition to win a bride.

On the stage stood a fierce and heroic female demon, holding a spear, having just sent a boastful black bear spirit flying in the previous moment.

The onlookers didn't scorn her for being brutal and violent. Instead, they cheered loudly, and some even threw flower garlands onto the stage.

From the surrounding discussions, Ren Qingyue learned that this woman had already defeated five challengers in a row. None of the powerful demon experts who had taken the stage could last more than ten moves against her.

The crowd was enthusiastic, but due to the strength of the black bear demon in the Golden Core stage, no one dared to step up for the moment.

"No one else?" The woman on stage laughed arrogantly, her silver spear clinking as she struck it against the ground. "This is your only chance—miss it, and it's gone! If anyone dares, step up!"

Despite the noise, few people came forward, fearing the embarrassment of losing in front of the crowd.

"If no one else is willing, how about I give it a try?"

As the voice rang out, the crowd slowly parted, revealing a woman walking through.

It was a beauty with delicate features, peach-blossom cheeks, and a willow-like waist. She looked fragile and gentle, as if she couldn't even harm a chicken.

"You?" The spear-wielding woman looked her up and down, intrigued, and her sharp features relaxed into a smile. "It's my 1,000th birthday today, and I'm in a good mood. If you win, I'll marry you right here, witnessed by everyone. From now on, we'll be together, inseparable!"

The beauty smiled softly, like peach blossoms under the sun, bathed in the warmth of spring.

"Alright," she agreed.

The wild cheering from the crowd turned into hushed whispers. While the demon world was open-minded, it was still rare to see two women getting married, especially when the challenger looked so frail.

This delicate beauty might have courage, but did she have real skill?

Ren Qingyue watched from afar, feeling quite surprised.
