Chapter 624 - 371: The Tail Suits Me Better
The owner of that incessantly swaying tail was, of course, the Madam who had greeted Zou Feng when he first came in.
In other words, that cunning old fox.
After observing carefully for a while longer, Zou Feng became even more certain that all the Power of Emotion, deliberately drawn out throughout Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors, was ultimately converging on the old fox’s tail.
It was as if it wasn’t a fox tail at all, but a Magical Treasure capable of absorbing the surrounding Power of Emotion...
In fact, the tail might really be fake. It was most likely a Magical Treasure.
After all, the old fox was only in the Spiritual Energy Realm. Even with a special Secret Skill, she wouldn’t be able to handle absorbing the Power of Emotion from so many Cultivators.
Combining that with his previous failure to find any other anomalies, and the fact that he had lost contact with the Female Celestial Soldier acting as bait...
This Magical Treasure was probably much more than just a tool for absorbing the Power of Emotion!
"Master Zou, what’s wrong?"
Behind him, Cai Zuz’Er saw Zou Feng leaning over the railing for a long time and asked with concern.
But she quickly noticed that Zou Feng’s gaze was fixed on... Hua Jie’s tail?
"Master Zou, let’s go back to our room!" As she spoke, Cai Zuz’Er tried to hook Zou Feng away from the railing with her foot.
Zou Feng didn’t resist and let her guide him back to his seat in the private room.
"What for?"
"I want to perform ’Eight-Legged Lighting the Lamps’ for you as soon as possible..." Cai Zuz’Er said, her eyes full of seduction.
’Eight-Legged Lighting the Lamps?’
Zou Feng would be lying to himself if he said he wasn’t curious about the skill.
But unfortunately, he wasn’t really here at the brothel to enjoy the entertainment, especially not now that he had discovered something amiss.
Besides, this Cai Zuz’Er was also highly suspicious.
For someone with considerable strength to be working in a place like this, it would be strange if she didn’t have a special reason.
"You’re in a hurry?"
"Master Zou, aren’t you in a hurry?" Cai Zuz’Er’s eager expression made it seem as if she were the customer here.
However, Zou Feng waved his hand dismissively. "Actually, I’m not in a hurry at all... Go get that fox Madam of yours first!"
Cai Zuz’Er’s smile froze. "Master Zou, why are you looking for Hua Jie?"
"Just go get her!" Zou Feng said impatiently.
"Yes..." Cai Zuz’Er had no choice but to bow, her expression Tense, before leaving the private room.
Once Cai Zuz’Er had left the room, Zou Feng continued to drink while discreetly taking out his Token.
As quickly as he could, he sent out several messages in a row.
After three cups of wine, the vixen known as Hua Jie came scurrying over with Cai Zuz’Er, taking tiny, hurried steps.
Seeing this, Zou Feng calmly put away his Token.
"Master Zou, what are your orders?"
Business was good tonight, and the fox-woman was so busy she was practically swamped. A faint sheen of sweat was visible on her temples.
When a fox sweats, the scent gets stronger. But as the saying goes, those who get used to it actually find it rather special.
Zou Feng didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he slammed a high-grade Spirit Stone onto the table and said, "Actually, what my senior brother said earlier wasn’t entirely correct!"
"Ah... not entirely correct?" The fox-woman was naturally confused about what Zou Feng meant.
"It’s true that I have a thing for feet, but what I prefer even more... are tails!"
"Tails!?" The fox-woman finally understood. The large tail that had been swaying nonstop behind her finally came to a halt.
Zou Feng grinned at her. "Your tail is quite nice. Name your price. You’ll be the one to personally accompany me tonight!"
The fox-woman immediately looked troubled. "Master Zou, this old body is past its prime. I stopped entertaining guests long ago. If you really like tails, we have a big-tailed wolf who’s quite good..."
"No need. I specifically like fox tails..." As he spoke, he suddenly reached out directly for the fox-woman’s tail. "Let me have a feel!"
Seeing Zou Feng’s sudden move to grab it, the fox-woman’s expression changed drastically.
"Don’t!"
With a sharp cry, the fox-woman retreated in a flash.
Her reaction was clearly off. It would definitely offend a distinguished guest of the Dao Foundation Realm. For the Madam of Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors, this was incredibly unwise.
Besides, there’s a saying that you can’t touch a tiger’s tail, but for a fox’s tail, they’d be thrilled if a customer liked it.
And Zou Feng, of course, knew the reason why.
If the tail hadn’t activated its function of absorbing the Power of Emotion, he figured the fox-woman wouldn’t have resisted no matter how handsy he got.
But now, the tail was constantly absorbing the Power of Emotion. If he actually grabbed it, anyone would immediately notice something was wrong.
"Trying to escape?"
Zou Feng snorted. A thread of Spiritual Qi formed by his "Love That Can Stretch and Contract at Will" shot out, sticking to the fox-woman before she could react.
Zou Feng then gave a hard tug, and the fox-woman was pulled uncontrollably toward him.
Now, the fox-woman was in a complete panic.
She dropped the act, her fur bristling as she shrieked, "Let go—"
As she yelled, a cold glint flashed from her fingertips as she clawed viciously at Zou Feng.
Unfortunately, an attack of this level was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly overestimating her own strength.
Zou Feng couldn’t even be bothered to dodge, taking the attack head-on with his "Iron Block Gang".
With a few sharp CRACKS, the fox-woman’s gleaming claws shattered on impact.
The fox-woman was severely injured by the rebound force, letting out a series of miserable screams.
Cai Zuz’Er, who had been standing to the side, had originally intended to attack Zou Feng with the fox-woman to create a chance for her to escape his demonic grasp.
But all it took was a single cold glare from Zou Feng to leave her rooted to the spot, silent as a winter cicada and not daring to move an inch.
Next, Zou Feng got his wish and seized the fox’s tail.
But upon contact, he discovered that while the tail was very well-maintained, it wasn’t a Magical Artifact itself.
