Chapter 1478 - A Dogs Paw Holding a Bone (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Foxy had never felt so happy since she was separated from Bu Fang. She hadn’t shot like this for a long time. She missed the days when she could shoot without worries… Now, the familiar days had returned once again.
It was so lonely roaming with Lord Dog in the relics. She wanted to shoot, but she was worried that after her meatballs were finished, she would be caught by someone and had her skin and fur flayed. After all, a large group of people was chasing her, and meatballs were her only means of self-defense.
The nine phoenix feathers blotted out the sky and seemed to turn into a sea of flames. Nine phoenixes were flying through it at high speed, but under them were countless… bloody meatballs! Yes, meatballs, steaming meatballs.

It was a bizarre sight, but after witnessing the terrible power of the meatball’s explosion, the crowd was stunned.
Those heads of the aristocratic families felt fortunate again. Luckily, after hearing about the Heavengod’s blood, they didn’t lose their heads and do anything crazy. Otherwise, it would be them who were facing all these meatballs containing the energy of the Heavengod’s blood now. They didn’t have the protection of the Heavenly Phoenix Plumes, and they would most likely be blown to pieces under the explosion of these meatballs.
Although this little fox only had the standard of a low-grade God, it… contained the blood of a Heavengod, which was more than enough to improve its fighting strength by many levels. In short, the little fox containing the Heavengod’s blood was equivalent to a God who comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe.
Of course, the Heavengod’s blood only provided energy, but if one comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe, it would be the real talent. It was always better to have superior talent, for with talent, one could create unlimited possibilities!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions broke out in an instant. A terrible rumble swept through heaven and earth, rolling up monstrous waves. The phoenix feathers exploded and collided with the meatballs, producing a shocking rumble that made the whole capital shake.
At this moment, all the warships and dragon-horse chariots in the capital stopped flying. How dared they fly? The shockwaves from the battle were so terrifying that their hearts almost stopped beating.
The phoenix feathers were burning. The Heavenly Phoenix Plumes was, after all, the divine artifact of the dynasty, so its power was extremely fearsome. Although it was suppressed by countless cannonballs, both sides actually came to a stalemate for a moment.
The Imperial Concubine spared no effort to control the nine phoenix feathers. She dared not relax even for a bit, for she feared that if she did, she would be devoured by all the meatballs…
“I hate meatballs!”
At this moment, the Imperial Concubine’s hatred of meatballs went deep into her bones. If anyone in the imperial kitchen dared to cook meatballs for her, she would certainly kill the chef without mercy!
Rumble!
A deafening phoenix cry echoed throughout the sky, causing everyone’s hair to stand on end. The crowd couldn’t believe that the fox could fight the Imperial Concubine with the Heavenly Phoenix Plumes to this extent. It seemed that the fox really had the blood of a Heavengod flowing in its body.
In the distance, the two patriarchs, Black and White, had also noticed the sudden change. Their cloudy eyes opened and seemed to burst with dazzling light. The fight on the other side was too intense, and they couldn’t help but pay attention to it.
The Imperial Concubine was suppressed by a fox…
The scene made the two old men exchanged a glance, and they both saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They, too, had heard the news about the Heavengod’s blood. Looking at the little fox, their eyes flashed.
They had lived for too long. After all those years, their cultivation bases had basically been difficult to improve anymore. And now, there was this blood of the Heavengod in front of them. If they could drink it, their withered bodies could be rejuvenated, and their cultivation bases could break through again!
At the thought of that, the two patriarchs became a little excited. However, they didn’t make a move. They just watched from across the distance. They wanted to find out the fox’s limit.
The Heavengod’s blood could work miracles, and they dared not underestimate it. Of course, they were also afraid that the fox would escape. With the blood of a Heavengod in it, the fox could not be restricted by their pressure, and it could tear the void and flee at any time. So they must be extra cautious.
They promised the Imperial Concubine that they would pin down Summer. However, when their personal interests were involved, they naturally didn’t want to waste their time with Summer anymore.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The void exploded again and again. Finally, Foxy’s head stopped nodding. The color of her bloody fur slowly faded away, turning back to milky white, while wisps of bloody smoke rose from her mouth. She was probably a little tired from all the nodding, so she lay on Bu Fang’s shoulder and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although the Heavengod’s blood gave her power, it consumed her energy whenever she used it, making her feel tired. Also, whenever her tail exploded and recovered, it consumed a significant amount of her mental force.
In the sky, the energy gradually dissipated, revealing the Imperial Concubine. She was panting. Nine phoenixes were wheeling around her to protect her. Her eyes were narrowed, and her ample bosom heaved violently. Her red lips were slightly parted as she breathed rapidly through her mouth.
She almost failed to block the attack. Fortunately, the fox had reached its limit. Otherwise, if she allowed it to continue shooting, she would most likely be overwhelmed. However, she managed to block it, and the fox had reached its limit. So now… It was time for her to strike.
The Imperial Concubine’s eyes were shot with blood. Overusing the Heavenly Phoenix Plumes had caused a tremendous strain on her spirit sea. However, if she could catch the fox and kill Bu Fang, everything would be worthwhile.
With a roar, the nine phoenixes around her wheeled up again. Then, they seemed to turn into nine scorching suns and kept smashing down from the sky.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the Imperial Concubine’s pupils constricted as she saw the little fox, who was lying listlessly on Bu Fang’s shoulder, open its eyes.
Foxy opened her mouth and bared her teeth at the Imperial Concubine.
That startled the Imperial Concubine and made her stair stand on end. It was the side effect of being bombarded with countless meatballs. The nine phoenixes flew back, turned into the Heavenly Phoenix Plumes, and guarded at her side. She looked warily at the little fox and Bu Fang down below.
The surrounding people didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Did the Imperial Concubine develop a phobia after being attacked?
Foxy opened her mouth and belched. Then, she lay back down and glanced at the Imperial Concubine from the corners of her eyes. She seemed to be sneering.
The Imperial Concubine regained her composure, and she flew into a rage with shame. She couldn’t believe that she was being humiliated by a fox. Even then, two figures appeared in front of her in a flash.
“Your Highness… Give this fox to us. We’ll let Your Highness handle little princess…”
A powerful aura spread from them. The Imperial Concubine was shocked, and she looked at the two old men blocking in front of her. ‘Are they tempted by the fox as well?’ She was not stupid, so she could easily guess their motive.
