272 Foiled My Plans

While Li Meirong headed back to retrieve Snowball, the mentioned Snow Fox quailed at Bai Qingyue, the Sovereign Lord's sight.

It might have been difficult for the Sovereign Lord's subordinate, Bai Yu, to breathe before, back when His Lordship had bickered with his wife, but presently, it became a hundred times worse after her departure.

Bai Qingyue relinquished his hold over the furry fox and unceremoniously tossed him aside.

Bai Yu skillfully avoided being flung against the wall and regained his balance. He knelt before the angered Fox Lord whose sheer presence filled the whole enclosure with oppressive, profound qi. Struggling to breathe in through the suffocating energy, he coughed a few times as he raised his eyes with trepidation to stare at the angered Fox God.

Bai Qingyue did not move nor speak. He seemed calm and refined, graced with painted features, glowing eyes, and fair skin as polished jade.

An unfamiliar character might have deemed him unperturbed, as though nothing fazed him, but Bai Yu knew better. He wasn't fooled by the tranquil appearance before him. He saw his Lord torturing prisoners until they begged for death, and slaughtering masses without so much as batting an eyelash with that same unconcerned look on his face.

This was bad news for the former second in command, and he had not the faintest idea how to escape His Lordship's wrath this time around. He hadn't even told His Lordship anything yet, and displeasure already radiated off the Sovereign Lord in endless waves.

Following what felt like forever to the former second in command, the Fox Lord finally, verbally expressed his discontent.

"You foiled my plans." He stated.

"This subordinate meant only to assist My Lord. it was by no means this subordinate's intentions to ruin My Lord's plans." Bai Yu pressed his white-furred forehead to the floor and kowtowed. He spoke nonchalantly, measuring every word.

Still pressing his head to the ground, Bai Yu wasn't met with a retort. He chose to tread on the side of caution and to keep bowing until being given a reprieve to raise his head. "My Lord, please pardon this subordinate's wagging tongue."

He only heard the Sovereign Lord sigh deeply in response.

In all honesty, Bai Yu simply couldn't understand why His Lordship became so upset quite so suddenly. He wouldn't have managed to comprehend the way the Celestial Fox Lord's mind worked for the life of him.
