Chapter 61 – Will we meet again?
Cui Qing'er's eyes flashed with impatience as she hurriedly said, "Lin Hao, get out of the way!"
With that, she signaled the Demon Clan behind her, ready to forcefully engage in battle.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hao stood between them, spreading his arms like an immovable guardian.
"You cannot harm her."
Cui Qing'er said resentfully, "Lin Hao, what do you mean by this? Are you determined to protect that little beast?
Let me tell you, this is an internal matter of the Demon Clan. If you meddle, you'll only bring trouble upon yourself."
Seeing Lin Hao still refusing to move, she shouted sternly, "Have you developed feelings for that little beast, or do you really think she has feelings for you?
It's all fake, just a ploy to use you!"
Lin Hao remained silent, turning to look behind him. The little fox's eyes were evasive.
A voice transmission echoed in his ear.
"Cui Qing'er is right, there are no feelings between us, you should leave."
Lin Hao asked in return, "Are you sure you have no feelings for me?"
Seeing the little fox stunned and speechless, he slightly curled his lips and said dominantly, "As a man, it's only right to protect your own woman. Want to harm her? You'll have to get past me first!"
Cui Qing'er looked sorrowful and said, "And what about me? Am I not your woman too?"
"You are, so you two shouldn't fight each other."
"Impossible, the situation has reached a critical point. Even if I defy that one's will and stop, I'll still face the pursuit of the little beast's lineage.
I won't do something that pleases neither side!"
She shouted, waving her jade hand, ready to have her subordinates engage in battle with the opponents.
Lin Hao pointed behind her and said calmly, "Look behind you first, then decide whether to fight."

Cui Qing'er glanced back and saw thousands of streaks of light in the distant sky; reinforcements from the Xuan Yin Sect had arrived!
Her face turned pale instantly.
Although both sides were fighting fiercely now, she knew the Demon Clan was at a disadvantage, as this was the human's territory.
If another batch of reinforcements joined the human side, the Demon Clan would surely lose!
She immediately made a decision and led the demons to retreat far away.
The little fox struggled to get up, thanked Lin Hao, and was about to follow them, but was stopped.
"Are you stupid? Cui Qing'er left first and will surely be waiting outside for you. Isn't that walking into a trap?"
The little fox's face turned pale, helplessly asking, "What should I do then?"
"Take off your clothes!"
"Take off my clothes?"
...
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Lin Hao changed into the little fox's clothes and used a disguise technique to transform himself into the little fox's appearance, leading several demons determined to become death warriors, flying outside the sect.
Meanwhile, the little fox, wearing only a single garment, was escorted by two confidants in the opposite direction.
Outside the sect, Lin Hao indeed discovered the traces of Cui Qing'er and others. He quickly pretended to be panicked, like a headless fly, running around aimlessly.
Cui Qing'er, hidden from view, looked on with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Why did this little beast seem so strange? But if she didn't chase, the target would escape.
Helplessly, Cui Qing'er had to pursue with a belly full of doubts.
Lin Hao split his consciousness, sensing Cui Qing'er leading the demons in pursuit, a smile curling at his lips.
His goal was to buy time for the little fox to escape, so he didn't engage in battle, only focused on fleeing.
This was where his speed advantage came into play, utilizing the escape technique he learned from Shui Ling'er.
The more Cui Qing'er chased, the more puzzled she became. The Qingqiu Fox Clan wasn't known for escape techniques, so how could this little beast flee so quickly?
Worried that continuing the chase would yield no results, she bit her lip, spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and used the blood escape technique.
Her speed increased dramatically, catching up in an instant.
However, when she blocked the pursuer, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
"You're not the little beast, you're Lin Hao!"
The two had known each other deeply for a long time, and even with Lin Hao's disguise, Cui Qing'er could recognize him at a glance.
With his disguise exposed, Lin Hao simply revealed his true form.
Cui Qing'er looked at his handsome face with an incredibly complex expression.
"Why? Don't you understand that the fox clan is the most heartless? Why go to such lengths for that little beast?"
"Because she's my woman."
"Heh, you're truly a lovesick fool. If I had known it would come to this, I should have executed my plan earlier, letting the Xuan Yin Sect know that you not only consort with demons but also with beasts, sending you and that little beast to your deaths together!"
"You won't."
Lin Hao stepped forward, lifting her delicate chin with two fingers.
"If you were heartless towards me, why not let the demons cut me to pieces?"
"I..."
Looking into his passionate eyes, Cui Qing'er felt her legs go weak, quickly biting her tongue to regain clarity.
"Lin Hao, spare me your sweet words. I'll be honest with you, it's over between us!"
With that, Cui Qing'er pushed him away, intending to leave with the demons, but Lin Hao blocked her path.
"You can't leave yet."
Cui Qing'er was instantly furious, saying coldly, "Blocking me to buy time for the little beast, right?"
Lin Hao remained silent, holding his sword in front of her.
After a moment of stalemate, Cui Qing'er gritted her teeth and said, "If you keep blocking me, I'll really attack!"
She waved her hand, and the demons transformed into their true forms, their overwhelming demonic aura making one's hair stand on end.
But Lin Hao stood firm, like an unyielding wall.
Sigh... Cui Qing'er sighed heavily in her heart. She spoke of severing ties, but the emotions developed over time couldn't be cut off in an instant.
She smiled bitterly, her tone filled with resentment.
"You only know how to bully me!"
Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to well up with tears, misty and blurred.
Lin Hao saw this but said nothing, his expression suddenly changing.
"You can go now."
Cui Qing'er's eyes flashed with surprise, asking in confusion, "Why are you letting me go now?"
"Because the sect has launched a counterattack. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Hearing this, Cui Qing'er's face turned pale. She focused her senses and indeed detected countless streaks of light flying towards them.
She quickly led the demons away!
Before leaving, she glanced back, sending a voice transmission, "Will we meet again?"
"Probably not."
Lin Hao watched the purple figure, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
This woman had been with him the longest, helping him the most. Parting like this left him feeling quite melancholic.
