I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

232 Huh???

The Three-tailed White Spirit Fox was lying in a pool of blood, struggling in pain.

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the fox panicked. It had not expected that someone would be lying in wait nearby, waiting to ambush it after it finished its tribulation.

Moreover, it could sense that Wang Mang was a great threat to it. Somewhat distraught, it was on the verge of despair.

Could it be that she was going to die after transcending her demon emperor tribulation?

Her heart was filled with unwillingness and grievance. How was her luck this bad?

Also, how could there be such a shameless person in the world? How could this damn python have the gall to speak of a fair fight?

If this python really wanted to have a fair fight with her, why did it not wait?

Even though she hated Wang Mang’s shamelessness, she could only weakly plead given her current situation, “Python Demon King, please let me go!”

“I just finished transcending my tribulation. I don’t have the ability to fight you.”

Her voice was extremely weak, and it carried a hint of pleading and tenderness that made others feel pity.

After hearing the Three-tailed White Spirit Fox’s words, Wang Mang was momentarily stunned.

This was not a demon emperor, but a demon empress?

This was the first time Wang Mang had seen a demon empress!

Wang Mang felt a little awkward, especially when he remembered that he had just jumped out and was about to bully a woman. Although he was quite shameless, this still felt quite embarrassing.

However, Wang Mang could not give up just like that. After all, a chance like this might not come again.

Thinking this, Wang Mang pondered for a moment and said, “How about this? As you’re a member of the fairer sex, I’ll give you a three-move advantage!”

“This is the greatest concession I can make!”

Wang Mang was speaking in a gentlemanly and magnanimous tone, but his words did not match his tone.

The fox was stunned. She had clearly underestimated Wang Mang’s shamelessness!

How could he say that?

If she was at her peak state, and Wang Mang had said the same words, she might have felt that he was indeed quite gentlemanly.

However, saying such words now was simply him trying to take advantage of her!

She was furious, but had no words nor energy to answer him.

“What’s wrong? It looks like you don’t need my mercy then.”

“Very good! As expected of a demon empress. That’s the sort of pride a member of the demon race should have.”

“Then, I’m going to make my move!”

At this point, Wang Mang’s tone was still as righteous as ever.

“Please spare my life, Python Demon King,” the Three-tailed White Spirit Fox begged.

Wang Mang remained unmoved.

However, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked the system, “System, if I eat this demon empress now, will my mission be considered complete?”

[Warm reminder! Host, taking advantage of someone’s situation will not prove your strength.]

[Therefore, even if the host kills this demon empress, given her current state, the mission conditions will not be fulfilled.]

Hearing this, Wang Mang sighed helplessly.

F*ck! The system’s requirements were too stringent!

Wang Mang felt a little displeased.

Then, he heard a plop. Turning back to the fox, he realized that she had completely lost consciousness and transformed into a bloodied little fox with charred black fur.

“F*ck! I haven’t done anything yet!”

“Get up and fight me fairly before you faint!”

Wang Mang felt utterly helpless.

After struggling for a long time, he decided not to eat the little white fox.

After all, there was no benefit in doing so. He had come to pick a fight, not to rescue her.

However, for the sake of the mission, he brought the little fox away. Perhaps he would just have to defeat her when she recovered to complete the mission.

‘Forget it!’

‘When the time comes, I’ll wake her up and ask her to compensate me!’

Thinking this, Wang Mang felt much better, and he left with the little fox in tow.

A few days later, in a cave, Wang Mang was watching over the white fox.

The injuries on the white fox’s body had finally recovered, and the charred fur had finally regained its white luster.

Frustratingly though, the demon empress still had not woken up.

Wang Mang felt that if it was not for him, this demon empress would have been devoured by other demons. A period of a few days of unconsciousness was plenty of time for a demon king or great demon king to discover and kill her.

Just as Wang Mang was getting impatient, je suddenly heard the little fox’s weak voice.

“Have I arrived in the netherworld?”

Wang Mang hurriedly looked over and saw that the little fox had woken up.

Seeing that the little fox had woken up, Wang Mang snapped, “Since you have already woken up, fight me!”

“Also, I saved you. After the battle, you have to compensate me properly with demon emperor-level treasures! At least eight or ten of them!”

...

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Fox Empress was left speechless and stared at Wang Mang blankly.

Clearly, she had never expected that Wang Mang would actually save her instead of eating her.

Was this guy not very shameless?

Why did he not take the opportunity to eat her?

Could it be that this guy had fallen in love with her?

Did he want her to become his Dao companion?

The Fox Empress looked at Wang Mang with a complicated expression, and then hesitantly asked in a quiet voice, “Do you want to pursue me and make me your Dao companion?”

Hearing this, Wang Mang was stunned, and looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Huh???

How did this question come about?

Where was the line of logic?

...

Was it there? No! There, perhaps? Nope. Was her head in the clouds? Maybe!

Also, he was a snake, and she was a fox.

It did not f*cking compute!

Was she trying to pursue a love that transcended species?

Wang Mang’s brain was fried.
