Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Since Weâre All Foxes, Letâs Not Talk About Ghost Stories Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Since Weâre All Foxes, Letâs Not Talk About Ghost Stories With this in mind,
Wu Manyue slightly lowered her guard.
With a hint of a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, she crossed her arms over her chest and eagerly watched Jiang Fan make a fool of himself.
Jiang Fan held three small black flags in one hand.
Simultaneously, he secretly performed a cultivation technique. After reciting an obscure spell, he tapped each of the three black flags with his fingertips.
âJump!â
An astonishing scene that made Wu Manyueâs expression freeze occurred.
The three motionless puppets at the fifth layer of the Core Formation Realm simultaneously jumped on the spot.
âLie down!â
Upon landing, the three puppets immediately fell prone on the snow, remaining motionless despite the biting cold of the ground.
âFight each other!â
Bang, crashâ
The three puppets immediately began to fight each other without hesitation, exerting their full strength, unafraid of pain or death, fighting as if their lives depended on it.
âStop! Walk forward!â
The three puppets, now covered in battle scars, stopped fighting and walked straight in different directions.
They each walked about five miles before stopping and standing still.
Jiang Fan nodded slightly: âThe range of control for the black flags is around five miles.â
âBeyond this range, the puppets will no longer obey orders.â
Facing a deadly army, five miles couldnât be considered very safe.
But it was much safer than facing them alone.
Plus, with the Turtle Breath Cloak,
the problem wasnât significant.
âYouâŠyou mastered it?â Wu Manyueâs alluring red lips parted slightly.
Her crystal-clear eyes were filled with shock.
Her mind was blank.
She had clearly handed over fake techniques, so how could Jiang Fan have succeeded?
It shouldnât be possible.
Jiang Fan laughed faintly: âI have to thank Senior Sister Wu for writing the key points of the cultivation technique so thoroughly.â
âOtherwise, how could I have possibly mastered it?â
Uhâ
Liang Feiyan was dumbfounded.
âNo way, she actually wrote a cultivation technique for Junior Brother Jiang?â
Xie Liushu touched his nose: âJunior Brother Jiang is really that charming, huh?â
âThis woman clearly isnât easy to deal with, yet she obediently wrote the technique.â
Xia Chaoge was also filled with surprise.
After pondering for a moment, as if understanding something, she sighed softly:
âTruly a man of the flower fields.â
She was genuinely convinced.
Other women throwing themselves at Jiang Fan, she could understand.
But Wu ManyueâŠwho had just been a mortal enemy moments ago.
Had now handed over such a crucial cultivation technique.
Utterly absurd.
âPerhaps, only women of the Demon Race might be beyond Jiang Fanâs grasp?â
She sighed quietly.
As for Wu Manyue, she was utterly confused.
When had she written such detailed key points?
âChaoge, you and the senior brothers continue to guard Boundary Mountain.â
âIâll make a trip to the Demon Race territory.â
Saying this, he waved the three black flags, and the three puppets gathered around Jiang Fan.
Wu Manyue panicked immediately.
âWhat are you taking my puppets for?â
âYour puppets?â
Jiang Fan shook his head and corrected her:
âSince Senior Sister Wu passed the Puppetry Technique to me, it means you acknowledged me as the owner of the black flags.â
âFrom now on, the black flags and puppets are mine.â
âPlease mind your words, Senior Sister Wu.â
Wu Manyueâs teeth ground noisily.
Her clenched teeth were almost grinding to pieces.
Suddenly.
Her charming eyes rolled, and she smiled sweetly: âYou reminded me.â
âSince I passed the Puppetry Technique to you, shouldnât you honor our agreement and return the fifty Demon Cores to me?â
Though in her perspective, the fifty Demon Cores were far less valuable compared to her inherited techniques,
exchanging them for a Nascent Soul Strike jade talisman would make up for most of the loss.
Jiang Fan nodded: âOf course I will honor the agreement.â
âRest assured.â
Although he said this, there was no movement from his hand at all.
Wu Manyue frowned: âWhat do you mean?â
âAre you cheating?â
Jiang Fan shrugged: âI never said Iâd give them to you now.â
âGiving them to you later also keeps the agreement.â
Later?
When exactly?
When the merit reward mission ends?
Or when the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race settles?
Or until sheâs old and about to die?
âYou liar!â Wu Manyueâs eyes blazed with fury.
She clenched her fists, ready to charge at Jiang Fan in a desperate fight.
Thinking it over, she held back.
A mature and elegant woman should always control her emotions.
Of course, the main reason was she couldnât beat Jiang Fan.
Grinding her silver teeth.
She glared fiercely at Jiang Fan.
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll be on my way.â
Jiang Fan waved his hand.
Wu Manyue watched as her three precious puppets followed Jiang Fan away.
Her eyes filled with pain.
When she initially acquired that legacy, she only got five black flags in total.
She used four.
One controlled the patterned python Jiang Fan killed, and the black flag was destroyed.
The remaining three were now taken by Jiang Fan!
This little rascal, could he be my nemesis?
No way!
I canât let it slide.
Her charming eyes rolled, lifting her wine-red gauzy dress, her seductive figure quickly catching up.
With a charming and affectionate smile, she said, âSenior Sister will accompany you!â
Heh.
Even a fool could tell this woman had no good intentions.
âNo need, this trip is dangerous, you better not follow.â Jiang Fan seriously warned.
Would Wu Manyue believe that?
Many Tianji Pavilion disciples went to the Demon Race territory.
If there was danger, they would have returned long ago.
âJunior Brother Jiang, I entrusted my life and heritage technique to you.â
âAre you going to abandon me after all that?â
She said painfully, looking pitiful.
Her small hands crossed on her chest, uncertain where to place them.
She followed Jiang Fan closely, maintaining a moderate distance.
As if afraid of losing him if too far, or provoking his displeasure if too close.
Jiang Fan had some admiration for her.
Anyone ignorant might think he really did something to this woman.
He reminded her again: âI kindly warn you, true danger lies ahead.â
âIf youâre not afraid, then come along.â
âWhen danger strikes, donât blame me.â
Considering Wu Manyue provided the puppets, Jiang Fan warned again.
If this woman insisted on following, he could do nothing about it.
âHehe!â
Wu Manyue turned her frown upside down, quickly caught up, and affectionately took Jiang Fanâs arm.
Her full figure pressed against him, she laughed with tears: âI knew Junior Brother wouldnât abandon me.â
This scene made several men grit their teeth.
Liang Feiyanâs eyes widened: âAlright, alright! Dog food, huh?â
âLetâs go!â
âSee what other demon beast couples are causing trouble on Boundary Mountain.â
âIâll break up every pair and every group I see!â
Xia Chaoge gave Jiang Fan a wistful look.
Pouting slightly: âKnowing sheâs a bad woman, yet you still bring her along.â
âHope you donât come back crying!â
Crossing Boundary Mountain.
Jiang Fan used his movement technique, skirting along the snowfield.
Moving across the snow without leaving a trace.
He turned back to glance at Wu Manyue behind him.
Each step she took plunged her into snow deeper than her height, only her head sticking out.
After much effort to jump out, a step forward, and sheâd sink into the snow again.
Repetitively.
She was both frustrated and anxious.
Without a spirit beast, traversing here was sheer torture.
Noticing Jiang Fan watching her, she blushed: âWhat are you looking at?â
âArenât you going to give me a hand?â
Thinking Jiang Fan might finally dissuade her from following.
Unexpectedly.
After a brief thought, Jiang Fan did return, lightly stepping to her side, and pulled her out of the snow.
Then, holding her by the waist, he sped across the snowfield.
If they encountered a formidable enemy later.
Someone like Wu Manyue, leaving many traces in the snow, was an ideal decoy.
Jiang Fan could then leave without a trace, silently disappearing.
As for her safetyâŠ
Jiang Fan didnât believe that someone as cunning as Wu Manyue wouldnât have life-saving means.
In fact.
Jiang Fan was sure she was feigning her struggle to keep up.
To make him lower his guard.
If real danger arose, this woman would likely run faster than him.
âWhat schemes are you brewing?â
Suddenly.
Wu Manyueâs eyes glimmered as she scrutinized Jiang Fanâs gaze.
Doubt flickering in her eyes.
