Meng Qi seemed to be frightened by the red fox woman. She quickly hid behind Chu Tianfeng, poking her head slightly to glance at the woman. As soon as their gaze met, she hurriedly turned away and muttered: “Who are you? I…I won’t go with you.”

She looked delicate and timid, very pitiful, and very much in line with her identity as a weak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Just now, Chu Tianfeng watched her laying out arrays diligently on the open space and knew her plan to hunt demon cultivators to earn spirit stones. He had been accustomed to Meng Qi’s calm and cold appearance, and was a bit uncomfortable seeing her current acting. For some reason, seeing her like this actually made him….feel an indescribable chillness on his back.

He knew that Meng Qi was luring people…no, luring fox, all in order to earn spirit stones!

“Little sister.” The red-clothed woman smiled sweetly. With a slight wave of her hand, Chu Tianfeng’s flame circle completely disappeared, not leaving behind even a sliver of smoke. The woman took a step forward, and the immortal devouring vine in her hand raised its head and coiled on her arm, like a venomous snake spitting out its letter.

Seeing this, Meng Qi shrank back behind Chu Tianfeng, only poking out her small head to peek timidly.

“He can’t protect you.” The red-clothed woman pursed her lips. The smile in her eyes deepened. As if to prove her words, she walked a few steps forward and waved her hand again. A dozen shadows instantly rushed towards Chu Tianfeng and Meng Qi, stopping in the center of the open space.

“Even with the array you worked so hard to set up just now, you can’t do anything to this sister.” The woman said smilingly. She had observed Meng Qi and Chu Tianfeng for a while and naturally saw what Meng Qi did just now. But it was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was not even using a magic weapon. Even if the girl laid out a trap, she was not afraid.

Hearing her words, Meng Qi and Chu Tianfeng’s expression instantly changed. Meng Qi clearly saw that the woman was still several meters away from them. However, in a blink of an eye, the slender hand, was so soft as if it was boneless, had already brushed her cheek. The slightly cold fingers brought over a flowery fragrance. As soon as the fragrance hit her nose, Meng Qi’s head felt dizzy. Her body shivered, and the red-clothed woman smiled even more happily: “Don’t worry, this big sister will treat you well. I like a pretty and cute girl the most. Especially your look…” She was getting closer. Without putting Chu Tianfeng in her eyes, she inhaled deeply near Meng Qi’s neck: “Really.”

This was the second time the woman approached Meng Qi without warning. She was incredibly agile. Every time she moved forward and then away, it was just in a blink of an eye.

But this time, Meng Qi swiftly threw away all the spirit stones in her palms. The crystal clear stones instantly flew to all the arrays she previously set up on the entire open space. This throwing technique alone, Meng Qi has practiced no fewer than thousands of times. Her Master taught her the Four Poles Great Array was mainly to trap enemies, especially those whose cultivation level was much higher than herself. For that kind of situation, even one breath worth of time might decide life or death.

Master made her memorize the array thoroughly. So much that as long she had enough material, she would be able to set it up in the shortest time possible. Not only that, he also especially taught Meng Qi a throwing technique and supervised her on practicing it repeatedly, so that she could instantly throw the spirit stones to the places needed to activate the arrays.

The red-clothed woman was initially surprised, but soon laughed amusedly. In the end, it was just a Foundation Establishment…

However, before she even finished her thought, her complexion changed: “This is?!”
