After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

From then on, there were rumors in the Hengduan Mountain Range of a man and a fox.

The man was Jiang Chen, expelled from the Jiuyan Sect, now without a place to call home.

The fox, with snow-white fur, had lost its dear ones and its kin and would ask anyone it met, “Who are you?”

Some experienced cultivators recognized it as the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox.

Once, no one dared to provoke Jiang Chen in the Central Domain.

For behind him stood the powerful Jiang family.

But now, upon learning that Jiang Chen had reappeared in the Central Domain, many righteous warriors, as well as former enemies, came to the Hengduan Mountain Range, intending to eliminate him.

Without exception, these people met their end at the hands of Jiang Chen for various reasons.

Thus, Jiang Chen’s infamy grew even worse.

One day, Jiang Chen was cultivating at a critical moment of breakthrough, and the little fox was guarding him.

Suddenly, an old man appeared.

The old man was dressed in the elder’s robes of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect, his body thin and skeletal, but his powerful aura was intimidating.

“Nine Heavens Mystic Fox…”

The old man looked at the little fox with a cold gaze and said, “Fox, where is Jiang Chen?”

“Who are you? Why are you looking for Jiang Chen?”

Despite feeling uneasy, the little fox still questioned in return.

“I am the Great Elder of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect. Jiang Chen owes my Chen family a life!” the elder replied.

Hearing this, the little fox instantly understood that the visitor had ill intentions. “Jiang Chen, run!”

It shouted towards the right.

As it shouted, it also charged at the old man.

But halfway through, it realized it didn’t know how to fight.

Although it was an ancient mythical beast and the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, due to its forgetful nature, it remembered no techniques or innate abilities!

Helpless, the little fox could only leap up and bite the old man’s arm.

“Hmph.”

The old man just snorted coldly and blew the little fox away, crashing it into a tree behind.

After falling to the ground, the little fox struggled to get up and charged at the old man again.

But this time, it was blown away by a powerful force once more before it could get close.

After falling to the ground again, the little fox was covered in wounds.

But it did not retreat. Instead, it continued to advance.

Its limbs trembled slightly, and even standing was extremely difficult, yet it did not back down and seemed very angry.

“…why?”

“Why do you bad people keep bullying Jiang Chen?”

“He’s clearly so nice and good! So gentle!”

“He would hold me as we sleep, tell me stories, and tolerate my whims and forgetfulness!”

“He is clearly the best, the very best person in the world!”

“If you want to kill him, I will kill you first!!”

The little fox roared.

Perhaps it was out of anger or perhaps instinct, as its last words fell, a pale blue flame emerged from between its brows.

The flame seemed weak, but the hot yet cold aura made the old man’s pupils shrink involuntarily.

“Nine Heavens Phantom Fire, this fire is troublesome. It burns anything upon touch!” the old man said gravely.

“Fox, I don’t want to get involved with you. Put away your phantom fire and leave quickly! Otherwise…” He threatened with a murderous look.

“Otherwise, you will die before Jiang Chen today!”

The little fox responded with silence.

The old man said no more and took action.

His right hand formed a claw, and with a light grasp, “Ah!!”

The little fox, from a distance, seemed to be grabbed by a giant hand, suspended in the air, and let out a scream.

At the same time, the phantom fire suddenly grew stronger, flaring up, turning from a small flame into a fire serpent several meters long, biting straight at the old man.

The old man waved his sleeve, trying to use his cultivation to create a spiritual windstorm to drive away the fire serpent.

Unexpectedly, wherever the fire serpent went, its color spread, and as the vegetation withered rapidly, the windstorm made of spiritual energy seemed to lose its power and dispersed into the world.

The next second, the pale blue fire serpent touched the old man’s sleeve, emitting a sizzling burning sound.

The old man was shocked and tried to extinguish the flames.

But the Nine Heavens Phantom Fire had a characteristic: the stronger the resistance, the stronger it became.

It could use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the cultivator’s own cultivation as fuel to grow stronger.

Therefore, the more the old man resisted, the more the flames grew.

Soon, the phantom fire enveloped his entire arm.

The old man was ruthless.

Seeing that the phantom fire on his left hand could not be extinguished, he used his right hand as a knife and chopped off his own left arm.

“Slash—”

In an instant, blood spilled everywhere.

His left arm slid off his body and fell to the ground, where it was burned to ashes by the phantom fire.

This made the old man so angry that he was about to burst with rage.

Although he was a cultivator of the upper four realms, he was only at the first realm, the Initial Insight.

The reason he could become the Great Elder of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect with such cultivation was that he was a direct descendant of the Chen family, which had repeatedly made great contributions to the sect.

And with such cultivation, he could not resist the phantom fire, which was as famous as the phoenix fire.

But now that the phantom fire was extinguished, the little fox that had forcibly activated it was also at the end of its strength.

The old man flipped his right hand, and a spiritual sword appeared.

He aimed at the little fox’s head as he quickly advanced and swung down the spiritual sword.

“Die!”

The spiritual sword broke through the air, bringing a sky full of sword light.

The little fox struggled to escape, but it couldn’t muster any strength because it had forcibly activated the phantom fire.

It was not afraid but smiled and said, “Jiang Chen once said he would protect me with his life, but now, it is I who protect him with my life. Indeed, I am a proud member of the fox clan…”

With that, it closed its eyes.

However, the anticipated pain did not come.

Instead, there was a “clang” as the spirit sword seemed to strike against some rigid object.

The little fox hurriedly opened its eyes.

It saw the jade pendant around its neck shining brightly, the light converging into an oval-shaped shield that protected the little fox.

“A high-grade jade pendant? With an eighth-rank formation inscribed within?!”

The old man was extremely shocked, finding it hard to believe.

“The Jiang family has perished, and yet Jiang Chen was willing to give you such a precious treasure?”

The little fox was equally astonished.

It had not expected the jade pendant Jiang Chen gave it to have such an effect.

“Haha, old man, you can’t hurt me!” the little fox laughed heartily and gave him a smug smile.

The old man’s expression turned as dark.

“Hmph.”

He put away his spirit sword and, without another word, lightly tapped the ground with his toes and floated up, darting off to the right at great speed.

The little fox knew that the old man realized he couldn’t harm it and was probably going after Jiang Chen.

But it wasn’t worried and instead wore a smile of triumph.

Because Jiang Chen was not on the right, but behind it!

Moreover, it remembered clearly that to the right was the territory of an extremely brutal giant python demon king!

“I truly am a proud member of the fox clan, so clever.”

After a deep breath, the injuries inside the little fox’s body erupted.

It felt drowsy and its body cried out in pain.

But it dared not sleep.

Because it knew very well that if it woke up from sleep, it would forget everything again.

Dragging its exhausted body, the little fox staggered over to Jiang Chen’s side.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had just completed a breakthrough.

The little fox, familiar with the routine, snuggled into Jiang Chen’s arms, rubbed Jiang Chen’s cheek, and then fell asleep peacefully.

“Jiang Chen, you really smell good…” the little fox murmured.

“Jiushuang, who hurt you?” Jiang Chen asked anxiously.

The little fox did not respond, clearly having lost consciousness.

It slept for several days.

Upon waking suddenly, it called out anxiously: “Jiang Chen, run! There’s an old man who wants to kill you!”

As soon as the words were spoken, it was stunned.

“Jiang Chen, I haven’t forgotten! I haven’t forgotten you, our promises! I finally remember you!” The little fox was ecstatic.

But soon, it sensed something was off.

“Jiang Chen, you don’t seem happy?” it asked.

“No,” Jiang Chen shook his head and replied.

“Jiushuang, you’re about to advance to a demon king. Can you not become a demon king? I don’t want you to be a demon king. I want you to always be like this.”

“But if I don’t become a demon king, I won’t be able to transform, and then I can’t marry you…”
