Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 85

Chapter 85

Ye Xuan was preparing to carefully observe his surroundings when, the next moment, his gaze met that of the tiger beast. Immediately, he became alert. The tiger beast was also on guard…

Another streak of spiritual light landed in front of Ye Xuan and dissipated to reveal the figure within. At this sight, Ye Xuan’s expression subtly changed.

“So cute—!!!”

At this moment, sitting in front of Ye Xuan was a little girl. She appeared to be only seven or eight years old, but unlike ordinary girls, she had a pair of sharp fox ears on her head.

Behind her, there was a fluffy fox tail. More importantly, her face was chubby and adorable, like a finely crafted snow jade doll.

“Eh?” The little girl seemed slightly puzzled upon seeing Ye Xuan. Then, she looked in another direction, noticing the large tiger beast standing there, staring at her.

“Wahhh, a big tiger! Big brother, help—!!!” She exclaimed in fear, curling up into a ball and hiding behind Ye Xuan.

“Uh…” Seeing the little girl’s reaction, Ye Xuan was at a loss for words. His eyes, full of caution, turned towards the tiger beast.

After a standoff, Ye Xuan finally said, “You… you don’t see us as food, do you?!”

“You can talk… naturally not food…” the tiger beast replied. “But you… what are you?”

“Don’t you recognize humans?” Ye Xuan said, “I am a human.”

“What’s a human?” The tiger beast relaxed its guard and looked curiously at Ye Xuan. “You’re a human… what about her? She looks like a fox spirit.”

Looking over Ye Xuan’s shoulder, the tiger beast saw the little girl peeking out fearfully from behind him. “But all the fox spirits I’ve seen are quite big…” It gestured with its hand to show the size, “Why is she so small?”

Ye Xuan’s face twitched at the tiger’s gesture. What exactly was that gesture about? It seemed a bit improper!!

“I’m not a fox spirit—!!!” The little girl behind Ye Xuan said, “I am a fox immortal—!”

“That’s still a fox spirit, isn’t it?” Ye Xuan casually remarked.

“Just arrived, let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Xuan,” Ye Xuan said to the tiger beast. “I have no intention of being your enemy; I’m just here to cultivate. I advise you not to be hostile towards us.”

“Ye Xuan, my name is Tiger Dadan.” The tiger beast, maintaining a distance, stared at Ye Xuan and said, “Since you don’t intend to be my enemy and you can talk, then you are my friend. I was just about to have lunch. Come on, let me treat you to some grilled meat.”

“Friend?” Ye Xuan exchanged a glance with the little girl behind him. A demon from the Cosmic Cave Heaven being so hospitable and even inviting them for grilled meat?

Gurgle gurgle—

Accompanied by the sound of a growling stomach, the little girl’s face in front of Ye Xuan turned red.

“I… I was too excited earlier, so I skipped breakfast, hehehe…” She said, somewhat embarrassed.

“I see.” Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Since this Tiger Dadan is so hospitable, let’s go have a meal with him.”

“Yay, yay—!!!” The little girl said excitedly. Then, looking at Tiger Dadan, with his fierce tiger-like appearance, she couldn’t help feeling a bit scared again. “But I’m afraid it might eat me…”

“Hahaha—!!!” Hearing her words, Tiger Dadan laughed loudly, “Don’t worry, creatures that can talk are not food; I won’t eat you. Come on, although I don’t know where you’re from, you seem quite formidable. I’m actually more afraid of what you might do to me.” Saying this, he led the way.

Ye Xuan and the little fox spirit followed Tiger Dadan at a safe distance. “I’m a disciple of Taihua Immortal Sect, which sect are you from?” Ye Xuan asked the little fox spirit.

“I’m from Jade Fox Palace, my name is Hu Yuyu.” The little fox spirit replied, “Big brother, aren’t you afraid of this big tiger?”

“Hehe, who knows? If it really comes to a fight, as long as you don’t hold us back, the two of us together surely don’t need to be afraid of it, right?” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

“That’s true, but it’s so big and scary…” Hu Yuyu stuck out her tongue, “If we really start fighting, I dare not get close to it. What if it gobbles me up with one bite? Then I’m definitely done for. If anything happens, you have to stand in front for me later, big brother.”

“Don’t worry, it will be fine.” Ye Xuan reassured.

Hu Yuyu quietly followed behind Ye Xuan, appearing as just a small figure behind him, much like Ye Xuan was a small figure in front of the tiger beast.

“Come on, you two, don’t be shy, eat up—!!!” In front of a huge bonfire, Tiger Dadan handed a piece of roasted meat to Ye Xuan. In his hand, what looked like a small piece of meat appeared enormous in front of Ye Xuan.

“Don’t worry, this isn’t human or fox meat. We don’t have those to eat around here,” Tiger Dadan assured.

Ye Xuan, unsure, said, “The way you’re saying it, I’m not sure I dare to eat it now…”

“Drip, drip—!” Saliva dripped from Hu Yuyu’s mouth as she said, “Big brother, I can tell, there’s no human or fox scent in this. It’s safe to eat—!!!”

Grabbing the meat with her small hands and hugging a large piece, she began eating joyfully despite her small mouth.

Ye Xuan silently watched Hu Yuyu. After waiting quietly for a while, she said, “I’m so sleepy, big brother… I… I want to sleep…” She yawned, lying down on the ground while still holding the meat.

Seeing her like this, Ye Xuan realized something was wrong with the meat. He looked at Tiger Dadan suspiciously, “Is this how you treat guests?”

“Hahaha—!!!” Hearing this, Tiger Dadan burst into laughter, “Brothers, it’s time to eat. This is something we’ve never tasted before, it’s fox meat—!!!”

With his call, two more beasts of similar size to him, but slightly smaller, emerged from the bushes. They looked like tigers and stood on two legs like humans.

“Kid, let us eat this little fox, and we won’t eat you. You smell sour and aren’t tasty—!!!” Under Tiger Dadan’s lead, the three tiger beasts surrounded Ye Xuan.

“So, you’re saying, if it weren’t for this little fox, you wouldn’t have bothered with me?” Ye Xuan asked.

“Of course,” Tiger Dadan replied. “What kind of person do you think I, Tiger Dadan, am? I am known as the forest gourmet. Meat like yours, emitting a sour smell, I don’t like it at all—!!! I’d rather hunt a deer than eat you.”

“Fox spirits are delicious—! Their meat is fragrant.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Fox spirits are cunning and usually, we can’t catch them, but it seems this little one is naïve, eating whatever she’s given.” Another tiger demon spoke.

“Alright, kid, I’m starving. Move aside.”

“Although we don’t know where you’re from, you surely can’t beat all three of us—!”

“Hahaha—!!!” The three tiger demons surrounded Ye Xuan, their demeanor fierce and threatening.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan confidently smiled: “Three beasts, come at me together.”

“Since you’re asking for it, we won’t be blamed. Brothers, attack—!!!” At Tiger Dadan’s command, the three tiger beasts pounced towards Ye Xuan.

“We’ll eat you too—!!!”

Facing the three tiger beasts, Ye Xuan naturally didn’t dare to be careless. His body moved swiftly, not retreating but advancing, and met them head-on. His long sword, already drawn, accompanied his agile movements. Dodging the tiger beasts’ fierce claws, he repeatedly thrust his sword into their bodies. The sword energy, like a starry force, slashed into the tiger demons, tearing their flesh.

The tiger beasts hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to be so formidable. But now engaged in combat, they fought with a do-or-die attitude. Their eyes turned blood-red and became even more ferocious.

An ordinary person would have no chance against them, but they were facing Ye Xuan, who had once reached the Immortal Realm and possessed the power of an immortal’s spiritual source.

As long as Ye Xuan was careful not to get hit, they were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter before him.

Puff—!!! With a single slash, Ye Xuan decapitated one of the tiger beasts. Its head flew into the air, and blood gushed forth, forming a mist of blood.

“Kill my brother, you’re courting death—!!!” Tiger Dadan, enraged by Ye Xuan’s killing of his brother, attacked furiously.

However, Ye Xuan, with a sword in one hand, dodged Tiger Dadan’s attack. With his other hand forming a sword finger, he cast a spell: “Freeze—!!!”

It turned out, another tiger beast, taking advantage of Ye Xuan’s distraction, tried to go after Hu Yuyu. Ye Xuan’s spell instantly immobilized it in place.

“What is this?!!” The tiger beast was shocked, having never seen such a binding spell before.

As it stood there stunned, Ye Xuan pointed towards the sky, unleashing a sword qi. The next moment, the sword qi descended from the sky, piercing straight through the tiger beast’s head.
