Bertha came back to her senses and sighed as she dispelled her Vanis.h.i.+ng Magic, revealing her tiny figure outside Long Yi's tent. A few years ago, the Fox Clan's Vanis.h.i.+ng Magic that Bertha was immensely proud of had been completely useless against Long Yi. Even after she trained hard and made huge progress in her Vanis.h.i.+ng Magic, it was still useless against Long Yi. A deep sense of powerlessness appeared in her heart, could it be that it was impossible to hide from this man?
Before long, a breeze blew against Bertha's face. The curtains of Long Yi's tent flapped in the wind and in an instant, a handsome man with an evil smile on his face appeared in front of her. He seemed to appear out of thin air, and Bertha wasn't even able to catch a glimpse of his shadow. Obviously, who else could the handsome man be other than Long Yi?
Long Yi looked at Bertha with a smile, before sizing her up from head to toe. She was as beautiful as before, and her pretty and innocent face didn't remind him of the world famous Fox Clan which were well known for their bewitching appearances. Compared to before, when Bertha still had an unripe figure, she was currently well developed with curves in all the right places. Her figure under her snow-white fur robe was still exquisite and s.e.xy. Moreover, she had a bushy white tail which was slowly swaying with her every motion. Long Yi's mouth and tongue went dry whenever he looked at that cute little tail.
Bertha felt uneasy when she saw Long Yi's unbridled gaze and she couldn't help but to angrily say, ”What are you looking at? You still haven't changed even a bit after so long.”
Long Yi smirked and asked, ”Who said I haven't changed? Can't you see that I have grown more handsome after so many years?”
”You have indeed changed.” Bertha muttered to herself.
”As the saying goes, rivers and mountains change, but it is hard to change one's nature. It is my nature to love beautiful things, and appearances have nothing to do with it.” Long Yi retracted his smile and said with a serious face.
Bertha couldn't help but smile. This fellow was still glib-tongued as usual. Even though he was praising her in a disguised form, she felt delighted in her heart.
Looking at Bertha, Long Yi felt like her smile was able to flip the world around. In his heart, Long Yi thought that although this little fox looked incomparable pretty and innocent, her destructive power might not lose to other beauties in the least. Sometimes, Bertha's innocence and prettiness possessed more seductive power than those women who were flirtatious to the bones.
”By the way, did your aunt tell you to come look for me about that matter?” Long Yi took out that blue necklace as he asked.
Bertha's pretty face reddened as she nodded her head. Looking at the ground in a shy manner, Bertha said in a soft voice, ”My aunt said that as long as you help us achieve our objectives, we agree to all of your conditions.”
”Agree to all conditions? I remember that you were part of my conditions too.” Long Yi casted his glance at Bertha who was bashfully standing in front of him. He felt as though a cat was scratching at his heart. This little fox was extraordinarily tempting and Long Yi's breathing quickened whenever he looked at her.
Having heard Long Yi's words, Bertha became hesitant. Her eyes flashed with a little bit of dejection, as she felt as though she was being sacrificed for the sake of the clan. As the sole Fox Clan member with the silver fox's bloodline, perhaps this was her fate.
How could Long Yi not see the complicated and difficult expression flas.h.i.+ng in Bertha's eyes? After thinking about it for a moment, Long Yi understood what was going through Bertha's mind. As a matter of fact, Long Yi added Bertha into his list of demands as he wanted to make things difficult for Mea Empress. He didn't actually want to use Bertha as a condition for his help as he never wanted to obtain her by force. If Long Yi was honest, his impression of the Fox Clan changed because of Bertha. During the Barbarian Bull Clan's martial arts convention, Long Yi developed a deep impression of this unyielding little fox who refused to concede. Later, when Bertha took off her fox-fur robe and placed it over him when he was pretending to fall asleep on the mountain, the deep impression changed into a good impression. Her little actions made Long Yi develop a good impression of her in his heart.
”Little fox, you can completely disregard the conditions I have set before. I was only joking then, you don't have to become my woman for me to help the Fox Clan.” Long Yi broke into a smile as he said.
Bertha was startled and her beautiful face instantly became pale. Suddenly, Bertha raised her head and grabbed Long Yi's hands with her own. In an anxious voice, she pleaded, ”No, I am willing to become your woman. Please help the Fox Clan……”
Long Yi calmly patted Bertha's little hand and said with a smile, ”You misunderstood what I meant. I will help your Fox Clan, but you don't need to be my woman in order for me to help your clan. In other words, you are free. You don't need to sacrifice your happiness for your clan.”
Bertha looked at Long Yi blankly for a moment. She was startled and all kinds of emotions welled up in her. In an instant, Bertha was at a loss. She didn't know what to do when Long Yi said that he didn't want her. Instead of feeling happiness, Bertha felt a sense of loss.t
”What's up? Aren't you happy?” Long Yi patted the little head of Bertha as he asked her.
Coming back to her senses, Bertha stared at Long Yi for a long time before nodding her head with a happy smile on her face.
”Long Yi, aren't you going to the Huangmang Plain? Take me with you!” Bertha exclaimed excitedly at Long Yi. Bertha used to dream about adventuring the Blue Waves Continent, exploring every corner of the land. However, her aunt always had high expectations for her, not allowing her to move around on her own. As a result, she had never visited anywhere else other than the Hengduan Mountains and Mea Princ.i.p.ality.
”Huangmang Plain is a very dangerous place, there are many magical beasts there. Aren't you afraid they will eat you?” Long Yi tried to intimidate her and had a scary expression on his face.
”Do you think I have anything to be afraid of? You are so powerful, of course, you will protect me. Besides, I can defend myself even if you don't protect me.” Bertha said with some pride in her voice. Currently, she behaved as though she was Long Yi's little sister.
”Oh? So you can protect yourself now? Does that mean that you have achieved great success in 'Thousand Extreme Illusions'?” Long Yi asked with a smirk on his face.
