Chapter 124: Goddess Xue Tong in Peril?
Inside the cave, the little Vulpix watched the rain of fire with wide, terrified eyes.
The tiny creature's heart couldn't take the stress; it scrambled out of the cave and buried its head in its mother's fluffy tails.
The poor thing was terrified.
The Alolan Ninetales, seeing such a massive display, deduced it was likely an illusion based on the temperature.
She possessed Psyshock and other mental moves herself, but her mastery was a joke compared to this.
However, she didn't underestimate the opponent just because it was a "trick."
The scale of the illusion was astronomical, far exceeding the range of her own blizzard.
The local wildlife had already been spooked into a frantic migration away from the mountain.
It was clear that the intruder's power was far above her own.
With a daughter to protect, Ninetales didn't dare to strike first. She waited to hear their demands.
"When I was a child, my mother's Zoroark was already suspected to be Master-class."
"Ten years have passed; I wouldn't be surprised if Mother has reached Elite Four (Heavenly King) status now."
Xue Yi watched the scene with a look of awe and realization.
Ever since her mother founded Snowhide, she had stopped appearing in official tournaments.
No one knew the current level of the once-famous "Evil Woman."
Seeing Zoroark today, Xue Yi finally understood the weight of her mother's strength.
Zoroark's mere "presence" carried the weight of a regional champion.
If this is just an illusion, how much power would a full-on attack hold?
No wonder even Goddess Xue Tong doesn't dare to disobey her...
Only Lorze is brave enough to disrespect my mother and defile her body all day long.
That bastard is the luckiest man alive!
"Impressive. Truly worthy of my Madam~." Lorze was also genuinely surprised.
Not surprised that she was strong—he never thought Auntie Xue was a pushover.
That Dark-type aura alone proved she was a Final Boss-tier character.
In any other story, she'd be the Queen of the Villains you only face in the epilogue.
Yet, this legendary figure, whom he thought would be the hardest to conquer, was already in his bed.
The sense of satisfaction from turning such a powerful woman into his mistress was incomparable.
In his excitement, Lorze couldn't help himself. He pulled Mother Xue back into his arms.
His hands slid under her heavy parka, kneading her breasts through her sweater~.
Feeling his touch, Mother Xue's lips curled into a smile of pure pleasure.
Excited, aren't you?
Good. Auntie Xue's body exists for your amusement. Eat your fill, little boy.
I want you to drown in my flesh until you can never leave me~.
She enjoyed the pleasure Lorze provided, but she wasn't a slave to it.
The reason she played along with his "marathons" for days on end...
...was to ensure he was biologically and mentally addicted to her.
Even if he wasn't a "Sex Puppet," making sure he could never forget her taste was a victory.
As long as this man stayed with the Xue family, she won everything!
"Auntie Xue believes you will surpass her one day, but for now, look—Zoroark is finished."
Mother Xue allowed Lorze to grope her, even pulling his head down into her cleavage.
She didn't miss a single second to provide "rewards" for his hard work~.
After their brief session of heavy petting, the illusions and the blizzard both vanished simultaneously.
The apocalyptic scene was replaced by a serene, clear blue sky.
It seemed Zoroark's "negotiation" had been successful.
How could it not be?
Zoroark's power was absolute, and Ninetales knew she was outclassed.
With a daughter to protect, she couldn't afford a real fight; she had to listen to the demands.
Zoroark's terms were simple: the Xue family wanted to adopt both of them.
In exchange for their freedom, they would get premium housing, unlimited food, and total protection.
They would never be separated, and they would never have to worry about predators again.
To seal the deal, Zoroark produced a box of high-grade Ice Pokéblocks.
While the mother Ninetales could resist the aroma, her daughter was a different story.
The little Vulpix poked its head out of the tails, drooling like a toddler being offered a giant lollipop.
Seeing her daughter already sold on the idea, the mother Ninetales finally compromised.
She decided to see what these humans were about before making a final choice.
Lorze and the girls approached. The mother and daughter pairs faced each other.
At first glance, Ninetales sensed the "Vixen Queen" aura on Mother Xue and knew she was dangerous.
However, the daughter (Xue Yi) radiated a friendly, welcoming affinity that put the Pokémon at ease.
Ninetales didn't block her path, allowing her to approach the little Vulpix.
Xue Yi was starstruck by the little creature.
The snowy white fur and arctic-fox features were a "Female-Trainer-Killer."
What is this Pokémon? It's even cuter than Eevee!
The little Vulpix sniffed her. The girl's Ice affinity felt like a warm blanket to it.
It felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to be held by her.
Xue Yi pulled out a box of Ice Pokéblocks specially prepared for this "kidnapping."
The fragrance was the final nail in the coffin.
Vulpix crawled out from its mother's tail. When the mother didn't stop it, it lunged into Xue Yi's arms.
It snatched a block from her hand and began to eat with a look of pure, unadulterated bliss.
A few blocks provided more energy than a day's worth of hunting.
It was so happy it began to purr in the girl's embrace.
Alolan Ninetales: "..."
She couldn't believe the daughter she had raised for months was sold for a box of snacks.
Fine. Since the human is kind, I'll entrust my child to her.
"Wufuuuu! (Fine. I accept your proposal.)"
The Alolan Ninetales saw the overwhelming force and the benefits and made her choice.
Besides, Zoroark's Trainer was strong. Following her wasn't an insult to her dignity.
The resources were too good to pass up for her child's future growth.
For now, this was the best path forward.
"Then, I look forward to our future together." Mother Xue smiled, understanding the creature's intent.
She pulled two empty Poké Balls from her pack.
She handed one to Xue Yi; mother and daughter were about to capture mother and daughter.
But just as they were about to tap the buttons, a disaster struck.
A cave that had served as the Ninetales's home suddenly erupted with a wave of oppressive energy.
A massive explosion followed, collapsing the entrance in a cloud of dust and debris.
As the boulders tumbled, a wounded female figure sprinted out of the smoke, flanked by six Pokémon.
The woman was covered in blood, but she didn't care about her injuries.
Her eyes were fixed on the collapsed entrance, terrified that "that thing" was still coming.
As she predicted, a slender, white silhouette with black-stockinged legs smashed through the rocks.
It lunged at the wounded woman with lethal grace.
Insectile and Fighting energy gathered in its hands; it was taking on all six of her Pokémon at once.
The commotion drew Lorze's group instantly. They turned to look, and their hearts stopped.
The wounded woman was a face they knew all too well.
It was Goddess Xue Tong, who was supposed to be in a different Secret Realm entirely!
How the hell did Goddess Xue Tong end up here?!
And that 'Pokémon' hunting her... is that a...
Pheromosa?!
