Chapter 200
Yuxun Ge shook her head. "I don't know, but I do know this shop..." She glanced at the surrounding oak owls, pressed her lips together, and said vaguely, "This shop is special. The Moon Emperor has instructed that if we encounter other strong ones during the collection process, we must not be rude."
Feng Cang made a gesture, and instantly, all the oak owls except her retreated. They passed through the formation without any hindrance, but unfortunately, the formation remained intact; even though the oak owls had left, it was still active.
**Chapter 259: Back to the Past, Escape the Present**
Yuxun Ge, who had planned to use the opportunity to escape with a shadowy movement, couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Feng Cang asked, "Did you and him have a dispute over that bone tile?"
Yuxun Ge looked down at the mahjong that had turned to dust on the ground and replied softly, "Yes, we both thought it was real. I didn't have time to snatch it away."
Feng Cang nodded seriously, seemingly convinced, but then suddenly looked into Yuxun Ge's eyes and asked, "Why are you wearing the four-season satin that our oak owls usually use, instead of the moon silk of the Moon Fox?"
Yuxun Ge's gaze flickered, and after a few seconds of silence, she sighed and reluctantly confessed, "Because I can use skills to disguise myself as an oak owl... I had to silence him because my disguise was seen through."
Feng Cang still didn't bring up the matter of contacting Wurou, but she asked, "How many have you collected for Wurou?"
Yuxun Ge replied without hesitation, "Seven tiles."
Feng Cang was momentarily silenced by that number. "Do you want to work for me?"
Yuxun Ge glanced at her own tail, looking at the oak owl in front of her with a complicated expression. What do you think?
To ease the awkwardness for Feng Cang, Yuxun Ge tilted her head and declared, "I would rather die than betray Wurou and the Moon Emperor!"
Feng Cang cleared her throat and nodded, saying, "Good." The next moment, she flapped her wings, and a seed shot toward Yuxun Ge's ear. Yuxun Ge didn't hide; she used the skill "Emerald Feast" to fully restore her health while instantly teleporting away from the seed.
**Happiness Returns**—modifying the luck of this oak owl royal, she began to use **"I want this, this, and this"** continuously!
After just two uses of the skill, Yuxun Ge was struck directly by Feng Cang's skill. The latter's casting speed and the speed of her skill were too fast; Yuxun Ge didn't even have time to dodge.
However, her health remained unchanged because this move triggered the **Fire Spirit Ring's** passive ability, **"This is called Royalty"**—when receiving potentially fatal damage, it triggers a holy light to shield you from the lethal blow.
Unlike when she faced Wurou with **40,000** in hand, the "Wujian" now held no value in Feng Cang's eyes. She wouldn't actually go to Wurou for compensation; aside from being mocked, she might even have the killer of her subordinate rescued by Wurou. Thus, Feng Cang's attack was lethal.
At that moment, Yuxun Ge confirmed one thing: the power and life levels of the Twelve Holy Clans far exceeded those of players from Blue Star.
She had explored many alien races between level 30 and level 80 in Zelan, and their attribute points were extraordinarily exaggerated. Yuxun Ge calculated that at the normal growth rate of Blue Star players, they would never match the attributes of the same-level alien races.
Even the alien beast bosses couldn't compare...
Now, Yuxun Ge's attributes were already equivalent to those of a 70+ level Blue Star player, yet she couldn't withstand even one move from Feng Cang. Although her equipment was lacking, it shouldn't be this exaggerated.
Just like when facing Wurou, even with the A-grade talent skill **"You're Too Weak" (Passive)**, she couldn't discern any weaknesses in Feng Cang.
Without hesitation, Yuxun Ge threw out the customized mahjong from her bag. Nearly a hundred tiles scattered everywhere, while she clutched a real bone tile in her palm. Instantly sensing the presence of a genuine bone tile, Feng Cang ceased her attack on Yuxun Ge, instead spreading her fingers and using an area attack skill to try to identify the real bone tile, while also attempting to crush Wujian.
After throwing the bone tile, Yuxun Ge, unwilling to give up, used **"I want this, this, and this"** a few more times toward Feng Cang, but all attempts failed. It seemed not all royals were as unlucky as Wurou.
When Yuxun Ge noticed the mahjong near Feng Cang starting to shatter layer by layer, she prepared to escape. However, her peripheral vision caught sight of a protective formation on a nearby cabinet being shattered by the residual force of Feng Cang's skill, scattering the items inside, which turned out to be skill books.
In that moment, the balance that had recently pressed down on the side of restraint quickly tipped toward greed.
Yuxun Ge instantly teleported over, dodging a massive wind blade while instinctively grabbing the two most appealing skill books. As she bent down to pick them up, she had already stowed away the genuine bone tile and put her pocket watch back on.
**"Furious Moon"**—**"Time-Space Stride"**!!
In that fleeting moment, she thought of a better escape plan!
That was to return to the timeline of the past, escape the dire situation, and then return to the present.
She raised her gaze to Feng Cang and chose to go back three hours—at that point, she was still in the library.
A bright light shone, and Yuxun Ge met Feng Cang's astonished and furious gaze, her wings behind her seeming to bristle slightly.
In that half-real, half-illusory moment, Yuxun Ge raised her right hand, holding up her index and middle fingers, lightly tapping her right earlobe. This was a gesture of acknowledgment that the Moon Fox royalty would return when worshipped by their subjects. She believed that Feng Cang, being of royal blood, would understand; even if she didn't, she would surely look it up.
Feng Cang: !!!
As the light faded, Yuxun Ge remained in place, the corpses on the ground, the dazzling Feng Cang, and the shop door sealed by the formation all vanished, replaced by a quiet and tidy shop, with her oak owl boss looking at her in surprise and caution.
Yuxun Ge directly used shadowy movement to leave the place. She didn't return to Yasi City; the identity of **"Wujian"** would surely be wanted again. In this situation, she couldn't bring the last clue to Yasi City, and now that she was in a "red name" state, she couldn't even enter Oak Owl City, let alone use the teleportation array...
She also couldn't turn back into a little oak owl. Not to mention, she still didn't know what loopholes the little bear cookie had, why it could pass the library's checks but not fool an oak owl shopkeeper.
The most critical point was that Pujiao was ineffective against oak owls; there were no red-skinned oak owls in the city. She could only use shadowy movement to get as far away from Feng Cang as possible, reaching the edge of the map that hadn't been lit up, and then transforming into a bird to fly to a nearby small floating island.
Just halfway through her flight, her timeline returned to the present.
Yuxun Ge looked back at the floating island where Xiangcao was located, and there appeared a massive acorn phantom, enveloping the entire island.
Without a doubt, it was the work of Feng Cang.
As she pondered how to get home, she heard Tulan's voice in her mind: "When are you coming home? I've already had my third late-night snack, and I've fed the cat many times."
Yuxun Ge replied, "I ran into some trouble and can't come back for now. By the way, do you know a royal named Feng Cang in the oak owl clan?"
Tulan responded, "Feng Cang? The 'Cang' in 'Cangsheng'?"
Yuxun Ge asked, "Do you know her?"
Tulan replied, "She's the most outstanding descendant among the many heirs of the Feng Owl Emperor. She even came to give gifts on the day I was born. Now that the Feng Owl Emperor has passed away, she is undoubtedly the next in line. There might be some twists with Tao and Song, but for the Feng clan, it's definitely her—there won't be any surprises."
Yuxun Ge: ... This is bad.
**Chapter 250: Two New Skills**
Tulan asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuxun Ge replied, "I just met her, and we hit it off and became friends."
Tulan chuckled, "That's good! I thought you had offended the Moon Emperor Wurou and the next generation of the oak owl emperor. Haha, that would be too unlucky!"
Yuxun Ge: ...
This time, it really wasn't her fault; she had been cautious enough...
Tulan asked, "Why aren't you laughing? Not funny?"
Tulan: "…………"
Tulan: "…Okay, you don't have to say anything. I get it."
Tulan: "…Promise me, don't mention my name out there."
Tulan: "You can mention my father's name; he’s called Beisui."
Yuxun Ge asked, "Can he save my life?"
Tulan replied, "He can help you leave with some dignity."
Yuxun Ge: ...
Life is tough, Yuxun Ge sighed.
She tirelessly flew toward the nearby floating islands, landing when tired, transforming into a cat to rest at the edge of the island, while also exploring the map so she could teleport directly next time.
During this time, she also spotted the two skill books she had risked her life to collect.
**"Thunder Prison" (A-grade)**: Weaves a net of lightning to create a six-sided prison that traps the target. When the thunder prison forms, A-grade and below teleportation skills are disabled, and each time the target touches the lightning net, they will enter a brief state of paralysis (no cooldown time, minimum cost of 800 mana per use, mana cost and casting time depend on the size of the prison).
**"One Hundred Thousand Volts" (A-grade)**: Instantly releases a massive surge of electricity, dealing indiscriminate electric damage to all targets within 100 meters of you. Damage is influenced by intelligence, and each attack has a 5% chance to paralyze the target (no cooldown time, casting time of 0.1 seconds, duration of 2 seconds, each use requires 1500 mana).
Yuxun Ge stared at the second skill for a long time and, feeling quite satisfied, learned both skills.
