Then, she stood up, took light steps, and stepped down from the main seat.

She bowed slightly to Zhou Ye and then said.

"Please, Lord Zhou Ye, come with me to the backyard for a chat."

The courtyard under the moonlight is tranquil and beautiful.

Yasaka dismissed all the guards, leaving only her and Zhou Ye.

She abandoned her commanding presence and leaned lazily against the railing by the pool, her nine fluffy tails swaying gently in the moonlight, radiating an alluring sheen.

“Lord Zhou Ye, I have seen everything you did during the day.”

"We, the yokai of Kyoto, have no way to repay this kindness."

Zhou Ye stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the moonlight reflected in the pond, showing no reaction.

"so what?"

Yasaka suddenly turned around and walked step by step to Zhou Ye.

The distance between the two people is very close.

Her breath was sweet and fragrant, and her body almost pressed against mine. Her golden eyes shimmered with an irresistible allure.

"Repaying kindness is a tradition of us monsters."

"As the master of Kyoto, please allow me... to express my gratitude in the most traditional and sincere way of our fox demon clan."

The words have not yet fallen.

Her soft body nestled gently into Zhou Ye's arms.

The nine enormous tails behind them, like the softest and warmest feathers, slowly stretched out, completely enveloping the two of them and forming an ambiguous golden space isolated from the outside world.

A sweet, enticing aroma filled the air.

Chapter 287 Zhou Ye: A Wise Man Knows When to Adversity

The atmosphere inside the golden fox tail space was extremely ambiguous.

The sweet scent in the air was enough to evaporate the rationality of any male creature.

Zhou Ye didn't even change the frequency of his breathing.

He looked down at the soft, warm body in his arms, and at that stunningly beautiful face.

Then he spoke.

"Yasaka, are you offering yourself in return?"

His tone was so calm, as if he were asking about the weather today.

There were no surprises, no desires, not even the slightest ripple.

This reaction caused all of Yasaka's prepared seductive techniques to be rendered useless halfway.

She originally thought that if someone like her took the initiative to throw themselves at her, the other person would either accept it with great joy or hypocritically refuse.

But this complete calm made her feel a sense of unease.

But now that things have come to this, she has no way out.

Yasaka raised her head, and a hint of allure was forced into her golden eyes.

"Yes, benefactor."

She made no attempt to conceal her intentions, laying everything out on the table.

"The world is in chaos now. The remnants of the old Demon King's faction, the Calamity Gang, and the Heroic Faction that attacked me—if they dare to create riots in Kyoto today, they could raze this place to the ground tomorrow."

She pressed her body even closer, her voice trembling slightly, a fear and resolve she couldn't fake.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Kyoto is peaceful now; no one knows when it might become the next battlefield."

"Although I am the supreme commander of Kyoto, our monster power is utterly inadequate against an enemy of that caliber."

"Even if I don't consider the entire demon race, I have to consider my daughter, Jiuchong."

"She's still so young..."

"I can't let her live in fear of her family being destroyed at any moment."

"Therefore, I need an absolutely powerful protector, a backer that can make all enemies back down."

Every word Yasaka said came from the bottom of his heart.

This is the most helpless, yet most realistic choice a mother and a leader could make in a desperate situation.

She staked everything on Zhou Ye.

After she finished speaking, she waited nervously for Zhou Ye's verdict.

In her view, the price she paid was already high enough.

To serve as a nine-tailed celestial fox is something many powerful individuals dream of.

however.

Zhou Ye's response shattered all her expectations once again.

"That's it?"

Two words.

Light and airy.

But like two invisible mountains, they crashed heavily into Yasaka's heart.

Her whole body froze.

"……what?"

She suspected that she had heard wrongly.

Zhou Ye pushed her away and walked out of the warm, soft fox tail without the slightest hesitation.

He straightened his collar, his movements calm and unhurried.

"I said, is that all?"

He repeated it, this time with an undisguised mockery in his tone.

"You mean you're offering your body in exchange for my protection and the protection of all the power behind me for your entire Kyoto yokai clan?"

"This deal sounds..."

Zhou Ye paused for a moment, then uttered two words that made Yasaka feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"A huge loss."

"you!"

The color drained from Yasaka's beautiful face instantly.

Humiliation, anger, disbelief.

A mix of emotions caused her body to tremble uncontrollably.

Who is she?

She is the supreme commander of the yokai of Kyoto, the nine-tailed celestial fox Yasaka!

He stands at the pinnacle of all monsters!

She set aside all her dignity and pride, offering herself up, only to be met with the words "a huge loss" in return?

This is even more painful for her than killing her!

"Lord Zhou Ye! Are you humiliating me?!"

Yasaka's voice became shrill, and her nine tails danced wildly behind her, distorting the air in the courtyard.

"Humiliate you?"

Zhou Ye chuckled and turned around, approaching the nine-tailed fox who was already on the verge of going berserk.

"I'm just stating a fact."

"Yasaka, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about your own worth?"

His words were like a sharp knife, precisely piercing the most proud spot in Yasaka.

"Your beauty? Your body? These things mean nothing to me."

"Your power? A nine-tailed celestial fox, sounds impressive. But against me, how many seconds do you think you can last?"

With each sentence Zhou Ye spoke, he took a step forward.

Yasaka was forced to retreat step by step by the invisible pressure emanating from him.

"Everything you are so proud of is worthless to me."

"You're exchanging a bunch of worthless things for a chance to keep your entire tribe alive."

Zhou Ye stopped in front of her, looking down at her.

"Now tell me, was this deal a loss or a loss?"

Yasaka's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Everything she was proud of was belittled and rendered worthless by the other party.

What made her even more desperate was that she discovered that what the other person said... was all true.

Faced with absolute power, her beauty, her status, and her strength were indeed just a joke.

"Then... what exactly do you want?"

Yasaka's voice was tinged with sobs.

She was completely at her wit's end.

The other party doesn't play by the rules at all.

Beauty, profit, and personal connections—none of these are of any use.
