EMBRACE OF A LOVER

CHAPTER 4

Another fox spirit?

Ah, well...

"So, I'm not anything good either, huh?"

System:, "No, she's a defector."

"And her bloodline isn't as noble as yours either. She's a seven-tailed fox, while you are a nine-tailed one."

"Don't worry, when it comes to seducing men, she's no match for you."

Seducing men... Well, thanks a lot for that.

I watched as Sailub and the female lead disappeared into the vast sea of flowers.

Glancing at the male lead who was left behind, I quietly crept up behind him and transformed into my human form.

Using magic, I conjured a dagger and stabbed him in the side.

The male lead let out a wail, and I could sense something escaping from his body.

I was overjoyed. It seemed that such evil deeds needed time to fully take effect.

"System, system, since it hasn't fully absorbed yet, if I finish him off now, will those kids come back to life?"

System, "You really know how to think outside the box."

"Thank you for the praise."

This vile man, using other people's lives to prolong his own. He deserved to die.

The male lead writhed in pain on the ground, reaching out to grab my dagger.

Compared to me, someone not very skilled with my limbs, his strength was truly
impressive.

We wrestled for a while, and he finally managed to grab the dagger.

As he aimed it at me, I waved my hand, dissipating the magic.

The male lead stared blankly at the air in his hands, questioning his existence.

Heh, did he think he could take something I conjured with magic?

Dream on!

I conjured another dagger and taunted him with it.

The male lead glared at me with hatred, clutching his side as he coughed up blood.

From within the sea of flowers, the female lead screamed, "Ping!"

Following her cry, a barrage of sharp petals flew toward me.

Oh no, I got too cocky.

I can't die just because I talked too much!

Swiftly, I pulled the knife out of the male lead's body, releasing the dark, bloody aura trapped inside him.

I transformed back into a fox and scurried behind the male lead.

The female lead's deadly petals hit him directly, piercing his body.

Her sharp cry rang out like a vengeful ghost, reverberating in my ears.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind me.
.....

I curled into a ball, and the system shielded me with an invisible barrier.

System (smugly): "Ten top-grade spirit stones to save your life-fair price, right?"

Fine, fine, I don't mind more debts at this point.

I rolled aside clumsily, and when I looked back, the crazy woman had grabbed a child by their collar.

Damn it! The kid I just saved, barely catching their breath!

I'm going to kill you.

With a burst of speed, I dashed toward her.
