"This is..."

Noticing the fluctuations in Nangong Luo's aura, Jiang Che's eyes were filled with delight. He knew that this was a sign that his third sister's realm was loosening, indicating that she was about to make a breakthrough in her cultivation.

"Good, good, good. This match really turned out well. It probably won't be long before I can experience a tenfold return again."

Jiang Che was very pleased, but seeing Nangong Luo deeply immersed in the understanding of overcoming her Heart Demon and the loosening of her realm, he didn't rush to disturb her, to prevent any accident from happening.

At that moment, Jiang Che heard a muttering sound in his ear, catching his attention. He immediately looked towards the Nine-tailed Fox.

He found that the defeat in the magical duel had quite a significant impact on the Nine-tailed Fox.

At this moment, the entirely charred Nine-tailed Fox sat on the ground, looking lost and murmuring to herself, "I lost... I actually lost to... I actually lost..."

She was the reincarnation of an ancient divine beast, carrying the great heritage of the Qingqiu Fox Race, with extraordinary talent and her cultivation speed reaching the pinnacle of the mortal world. Yet, even so, she still lost so completely.

In just a few minutes, they had exchanged blows countless times, but she hadn't hit her opponent even once, let alone causing any harm.

Thinking of the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell, the Nine-tailed Fox was filled with immense hatred for herself, hating her own incompetence. Even though the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell was just sitting there waiting for her to take it, she could do nothing.

According to her agreement with Thunder Tiger, if she lost, she wouldn't be able to obtain the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell.

This was, after all, a heritage treasure of the Qingqiu Fox Race, and now it was lost in her hands. How could she ever face the ancestors through the ages? How could she face them after her path ended?

She felt like she was a sinner of the Qingqiu Fox Race...

Thinking of this, the Nine-tailed Fox's aura became somewhat unstable, showing signs of decline.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Che was startled. This was heading towards losing her mind and having her Dao heart shattered!

Was it just a defeat? Was this necessary?

Such a fragile heart.

As a boss who cherished his employees, Jiang Che naturally couldn't just watch his employee harm herself, and quickly rushed over.

This was his binding target, if something went wrong, his heart would bleed with pain.

"Little Fox, what's wrong? Planning to give up after just a small failure?"

"You must know, failure is the mother of success. You lost this time, but you'll try again next time. I believe you will succeed!"

Jiang Che's voice was gentle as he poured motivational words into the Nine-tailed Fox.

Hearing Jiang Che's words, the previously heartbroken Nine-tailed Fox finally regained a glimmer of hope, lifting her head to look hopefully at Jiang Che and said, "Lord Thunder Tiger, are you serious? Can I try again?"

"That's right, I've never said this challenge was a one-time chance."

In the future, if you feel confident enough, just come again until you defeat my third sister and reclaim the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell!"

Jiang Che's expression was serious as he earnestly nodded his head.

His original intention was to find a competitor for his third sister; if it was over in one go, wouldn't his planning have been in vain?

The most important point was that the Nine-tailed Fox was special, she was the mortal enemy of his third sister from a past life, and had a surprisingly strong motivational effect on her.

Upon receiving Jiang Che's affirmative reply, the Nine-tailed Fox instantly felt revived, filled with immense excitement.

She still had a chance!

This defeat didn't mean she would fail in the future. As long as she could defeat Jin Hu once, she could claim the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell.

The Nine-tailed Fox realized that today's defeat was entirely because Jin Hu seemed to have seen through her moves!

So she made a firm decision in her heart to practice some new Divine Secret Techniques, especially those not involving Illusion Techniques, and then challenge Jin Hu again. The outcome was yet to be known.

Jiang Che thought the Nine-tailed Fox was silent for a long time due to an unresolved heart knot, so he pointed at Nangong Luo to encourage her, saying, "Believe in yourself, she's just like that, you'll definitely be able to defeat her and take back the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell."

Hearing Jiang Che's words, the Nine-tailed Fox nodded confidently. Thunder Tiger was right, next time, she would surely win.

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Che finished speaking, Nangong Luo, who had been silently experiencing the dissipation of her Heart Demon, opened her eyes.

Listening to her brother's words and his gesture seeming to point at her enemy, she was speechless, "So who exactly is your third sister? And why is brother being so nice to this Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, even comforting her?"

Though she had been deeply immersed in her reflection just now, she had heard everything that happened outside, every word from her brother fell on her ears.

Seeing his third sister suddenly open her eyes, Jiang Che was startled, feeling extremely awkward, he laughed dryly and said, "Third sister, you're awake! The little fox couldn't handle the defeat just now, so brother comforted her a bit."

It's really speechless, the timing of his third sister waking up was just too perfect.

Nangong Luo gave her brother a discreet glare, then ignored him, instead turning her gaze to the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox who had regained her spirits and said coldly, "I look forward to your next challenge.

But if next time you're still as weak as today, then the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell may forever be beyond your reach."

Nangong Luo was aware that this defeat was surely not something the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox would accept.

If that's the case, she would keep defeating her until she accepted it, once wasn't enough, then twice, twice wasn't enough, then three times...

Upon hearing this, the Nine-tailed Fox stood up, her body emitting a white light, giving a slight shake, the charred surface turned into black dust and drifted away with the wind.

Then, the Nine-tailed Fox snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, today's battle caught me off guard as I wasn't prepared. Next time, you won't have such luck!"

"Hehe, then I'll be waiting for you!"

Nangong Luo, now free from her Heart Demon, was filled with confidence in the face of the Nine-tailed Fox.

"The Nine Illusion Immortal Bell can stay with you a little longer!"

With disdain, the Nine-tailed Fox glanced at Nangong Luo, and then respectfully looked at Jiang Che, saying, "Lord Thunder Tiger, the little fox shall take her leave now!"

"Mm, go ahead!"

Watching the two of them face off, Jiang Che was busy trying to minimize his presence, and upon hearing the little fox's words, he nodded immediately.

"Jin Hu, it won't be long before we meet again. Wait for it!"

Before leaving, the Nine-tailed Fox said to Nangong Luo and then turned into a beam of white light, disappearing into the mountain forest.

"Even if we do meet again, you shouldn't think you'll defeat me!"

Nangong Luo paid no mind at all to the Nine-tailed Fox's harsh words, dismissing them completely.

At that moment, Nangong Luo noticed Jiang Che trying to sneak away.

"Wait a minute, brother, where are you going? You haven't explained what you meant by what you said to the White Fox King just now, and you're planning to run away?"
