“Are you trying to threaten me?”
Hua Yan narrowed her pale gold eyes and stared at Su Feiyao in front of her with a sour expression.
“Oh my, you couldn’t be more wrong.”
The fox-eared girl continued to hide her face behind her fan, smiling with narrowed eyes while her tail swayed gently behind her.
“This humble one simply wanted to help you, Young Master Hua, recognize your current situation so we can cool down and talk things through.”
“No one wants to make things too tense, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Hah, if you ask me, you just want to pocket the compensation and use my identity to threaten me, don’t you?”
Hua Yan crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her coldly.
“Let me tell you, I, Hua Yan, have never been one to take threats lying down. Even if you expose my identity, at most I’ll just flee immediately.”
“After that, your Hehuan Sect can look forward to the Hundred Flowers Valley coming to settle the score!”
“Oh, Young Master Hua, why is your temper still so flared? Having such a fiery liver isn’t good for your health.”
Su Feiyao shook the small mahogany folding fan in her hand, looking helpless.
“I already said I just wanted to have a good chat with you; I certainly don’t want to ruin our relationship~”
“As for the compensation, I will naturally present it with both hands. It’s just that…”
“Just what?”
Hua Yan’s tone remained unfriendly.
“It’s just that I’ve only recently arrived at the South Sea, and everything I brought were necessities.”
“I even exchanged all my Spirit Stones for this building, so I really don’t have much spare cash left~”
She winked one fox-like eye and folded her fan, gently pressing the rib of the fan against her upturned red lips.
Her charming and seductive face was filled with feigned grievance.
“How about this, Young Master Hua, could you give me a few more days?”
“Stop playing games with me! Who knows what excuse you’ll have in a few days?”
“I don’t believe for a second that a Saintess of the Hehuan Sect like you has nothing to offer.”
Hua Yan stood with her hands on her hips, completely immune to her antics.
“If you don’t have Spirit Stones, then use magical artifacts, pills, or something else to pay!”
‘Heh, she took the bait~~’
Su Feiyao was secretly delighted but kept a smile on her face.
“Oh my, since you’ve put it that way, then please follow me. It just so happens that our Hehuan Sect brought many treasures to the South Sea to sell~”
“If anything catches your eye, feel free to take it~”
With that, she stepped barefoot onto the solid wood floor and walked gracefully toward the second floor on her tiptoes.
Hua Yan looked at the large reddish-brown tail swaying behind her, feeling a faint hesitation.
Her intuition told her that this vixen, Su Feiyao, definitely had no good intentions and likely had a trap waiting for her.
Tsk, I bet she’s just trying to delay the compensation.
If she can delay it today, can she delay it forever?
Hua Yan snorted inwardly and turned to look at Yun Xuechang, who was holding Hua Xiangrong.
“Xuechang, let’s go. We’ll follow her and see what she’s actually up to.”
“Mhm.”
Yun Xuechang nodded slightly and followed Su Feiyao upstairs with Hua Yan while holding Hua Xiangrong in her arms.
Su Feiyao led them into an elegant private room.
After passing through several layers of carved screens, they reached an inner chamber.
Once the two sat on prayer mats with the child, she swayed her tail and poured three cups of hot tea.
“Come, guests, try our Hehuan Sect’s Spring Mountain Clear Tea. These are top-quality tea leaves.”
“I wouldn’t dare drink anything from your place. Who knows what’s added to it? Xuechang.”
Hua Yan raised her hand, stopping Yun Xuechang, who was about to take a sip out of politeness.
“Oh my, your words really break my heart.”
The fox-eared girl shook her head with a look of regret, then knelt across from them, separated by a low table.
“There really isn’t anything in it; it’s purely high-quality clear tea.”
“Since you’re so impatient, Young Master Hua, I’ll bring out the treasures I’ve prepared right now.”
Oh? She’s actually being this straightforward?
Hua Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
She had thought Su Feiyao would make more excuses, which was why she had maintained a firm stance.
She hadn’t expected the other party to get straight to the point so quickly.
‘Did this vixen actually find her conscience and really intends to compensate me?’
Under Hua Yan’s skeptical gaze, Su Feiyao produced a beautifully decorated large wooden box from somewhere.
She placed it on the table and smiled brightly.
“Young Master Hua, this is the compensation I’ve planned. Don’t worry, these are all the very best items~”
With that, she reached out with her stained fingers and opened the wooden box.
“Thi—this is—”
As soon as she saw the contents, Hua Yan’s face changed instantly, and her speech became stuttered.
Yun Xuechang looked at the items in the box with a blank expression, her eyes filled with confusion.
Hua Xiangrong’s eyes lit up, and she immediately chimed in with a crisp voice.
“Wow! Fox demon sister, are these all toys? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before! How do you play with them?”
“That’s right, these are all excellent little toys~”
“But little sister, you’re still too young to play with them. These are for your mothers to play with~”
Su Feiyao giggled, covering her mouth slightly with one hand.
“What are you talking about in front of the child! How are these toys?!”
Hua Yan pointed at the contents of the wooden box, her pretty face already flushing bright red.
“Oh my, how could these not be considered little toys for use in the bedroom?”
“Our Hehuan Sect’s female cultivator clients absolutely adore these little darlings~”
Su Feiyao feigned surprise, then picked up a rod-shaped object made of white jade and stroked it carefully.
“Made from high-grade psychic jade, it has a warm texture and is comfortable to the touch, with no sensation of a foreign object, making it easy to insert and remove.”
“It can channel both Water and Fire Spiritual Power, allowing it to be warm or icy cold. Since you possess the Five Elemental Roots, this couldn’t be more perfect for you.”
Looking at the increasingly shy expression on Hua Yan’s face, she covered her mouth slightly and acted surprised.
“Oh, if you’re not the one taking the offensive role, Young Master Hua, then I indeed made the wrong recommendation.”
With that, she took out another cyan, double-ended one.
“How about this? This is our recent bestseller; mojing female cultivators love using it!”
“It has a self-heating function and a double-ended design, allowing both of you to experience that heavenly sensation together.”
“If you don’t like it, we have styles with different textures, in all shapes and sizes.”
“Of course, if you prefer a gentler method, we also have Burmese bells and jade finger sleeves. I highly recommend these few…”
She continued to pick through the items in the display box as she spoke.
“Enough! Who told you I would need such things?!”
Hua Yan finally couldn’t take it anymore, slapping the table as she suddenly stood up.
At the same time, an embroidered handkerchief flew out of her Storage Pouch, accurately covering Hua Xiangrong’s eyes.
“Wah! Mother, what are you doing? I can’t see!”
Hua Xiangrong was watching intently when her vision suddenly went dark, and she immediately began to complain.
“Are you trying to go behind my back and secretly buy these toys to take back and play with Mommy without sharing them with me?”
“I am not!”
Hua Yan stomped her foot in panic, her cheeks so red they looked like they might drip blood.
She glared fiercely at the innocent-looking Su Feiyao.
“When you said you’d exchange other things for compensation, you meant these scandalous items?”
“Oh my, Young Master Hua, what kind of talk is that? How can this be considered scandalous?”
Su Feiyao widened her golden-brown fox eyes, putting on a pure and innocent front.
“Lust and desire are simply part of human nature. I imagine you and Fairy Yun must have them as well, right?”
“Otherwise, how did you and Fairy Yun give birth to such a lovely little daughter?”
She paused, and her tone suddenly shifted.
“Oh, that’s right, I haven’t asked you yet, Young Master Hua—oh no, perhaps I should call you Miss Hua now, since you still have to hide your identity.”
“Our Hehuan Sect has kept our promise to you all these years, not revealing a single word about your transformation into a woman.”
“But how could you break your own word?”
She feigned a look of shock.
“Why would you reveal your female form to Fairy Yun yourself, and even have a beautiful little daughter with her?”
“You’ve even come to the South Sea dressed as a woman today.”
She glanced at the brilliant and charming feminine attire Hua Yan was wearing, her fox eyes full of playful mockery.
“Could it be… that you’ve fallen deeply in love with our Fairy Yun and were willing to transform into a woman just to bear a daughter for her?”
