"Oh? Really?"
Austin said before he released his spiritual sense again to examine if this were true or not.
However, after a few seconds of perceiving and observing, he didn't sense any aura or features of the girl that were related to the nine-tailed demon fox race.
"Master, believe me.
This little girl's aura and features as a nine-tailed demon fox have been erased.
But I can still sense a trace of the original blood essence of the nine-tailed demon fox in her body.
The members of our race can recognize each other through our blood.
No matter how powerful the creatures of other races are, they can't sense it. That's why you don't see it,"
Violet explained.
"Her fox aura and features have been removed?
Is that even possible?"
Austin asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Yes. It's a secret skill of our race. If we are followed by powerful foes, we can perform the skill and disguise ourselves,"
Violet explained.
"I see. That's amazing,"
Austin remarked.
'Since it managed to fool me too, this skill must be super powerful, ' he thought to himself.
"I won't go with you,"
the panic-stricken girl said in a trembling voice.
Before the men could grab her, an old man in rags stumbled out of the tavern. He stood in front of the scared girl and stretched out his arms to protect her.
"Gentlemen, please let go of my granddaughter. We are just trying to make some money for supper.
Please show us some mercy,"
he begged.
"Damn it! Old man, stop bothering us.
If you don't want to die, get out of here right now.
We just beat you. Do you want more?"
one of the men yelled at him.
When the old man stood his ground, he swung his arm wide and slapped him.
Due to the impact, the old man stumbled back and fell to the ground. He screamed in pain, clutching his beaten face. When he tried to stand again, he realized that he couldn't.
On the sidelines, there were now many other creatures watching.
They were uncomfortable with what these strong men did; however, no one dared to stop them.
They knew that the men were from the demon snake race.
The demon snake race was a very powerful force in the Heaven Beast Valley.
If they stood up against them, they would die.
"Ha-ha! Little beauty, it's time to go. No one will come to your aid.
Come with us and we will have a good time together!"
The strong man who had slapped the old man stretched out his hand to grab the terrified girl.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before his hand could make contact, red strings appeared out of thin air and broke into the Soul Seas of the strong men.
Then, the strong men's eyes filled with obedience.
They appeared to be listening to a voice no one else could hear.
"Yes, sir!"
they said respectfully at the same time.
"I'm sorry. We wer
middle-aged man.
"Ha-ha! Well done!
Master, these people deserve this and more!"
Violet clapped her hands cheerfully as she watched the scene.
"I know. And he's my slave now. We can make him do whatever we want,"
Austin said, smiling at her.
After slapping himself a thousand times, the middle-aged man turned to look at the old man and the young girl.
"My master wants to see you," he informed them politely.
Since he was a divine god, the slaps wouldn't actually hurt him.
"Your master wants to see us? But we are only poor nobodies!"
the old man stated in surprise.
"Yes.
Don't worry. My master bears no evil will,"
the middle-aged man explained.
"Well... All right then."
The old man nodded in agreement after he gave it a moment of thought.
"What are you looking at? Go mind your own business!
Do as I say or I will destroy you with one blow!" the middle-aged man warned when he noticed the crowd still hanging around.
When he spoke, he released an aura of a medium-grade divine god.
All the creatures on the street cried and ran away, sheltering their heads.
The middle-aged man led the old man and the girl to a remote alley.
Violet, Austin, Elmer, and the team of the thunder sheep race stood in the alley, waiting for them.
As soon as she caught sight of the girl, Violet looked her up and down and checked her blood.
The girl's eyes widened.
It seemed like she had also sensed Violet's blood.
The two girls looked at each other and
excitement crept up on their faces.
Nine tails suddenly appeared on Violet's back, and they disappeared in the next second.
"Well, you... You..."
The girl trembled with excitement so much that she couldn't speak properly.
"Yeah, we are from the same race!"
Violet exclaimed.
Finally, she had found her own kind.
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.
