I Got My Cheat Skill by Acting My Way into a Horror Protagonist Role Chapter 69

"Thank you, clan sister, for taking us in today..." the leading white fox spoke, its voice hoarse and unpleasant, like that of an elderly woman.

"Sister, just stay here peacefully, why bother searching elsewhere? Our paradise is a wonderful place..." The beautiful woman seated in the main position spoke softly, her voice sweet and melodious, her enchanting eyes like silk, every movement naturally captivating and soul-stirring.

"When our new brides arrive later, shall we let your young ones have a taste too?"

The white fox slightly frowned. As an ascetic fox, it naturally didn't quite agree with the other's cultivation methods that harmed harmony between humans and foxes. It also didn't want its younger generation to be tainted by these bloody matters. Although they provided temporary nourishment, in the long run, it was definitely detrimental to cultivation.

Though separated by a hundred li, as fellow fox clan members, even with long periods without communication, the white fox had heard some rumors about this crimson fox branch's practices.

Speaking of which, at that very moment, faint movements could be heard from afar. Not far away, a group of large red foxes were lightly carrying a bridal sedan chair up the stone steps from below.

Inside the sealed sedan chair was the young girl brought from the village.

The bone chairs beneath the red foxes' soft couches were likely the final resting place for the two girls who had been brought here.

Though it couldn't bear to watch this scene, intervening to stop it wasn't very realistic either.

The most it could do was collect the corpses at most, ensuring the two girls could be buried intact.

"Lower the sedan—" The foxes' sharp singing voices twisted and turned melodiously as the square-shaped bridal sedan was set down by them.

Foxes large and small, some transformed into human form, others still in their original shapes, all gathered around, their slightly aggressive and probing gazes falling upon the central sedan chair.

Several figures with twisted bodies, fox faces on human forms, dressed in groom's attire, emerged from the back surrounded by young foxes.

Despite being from the fox clan, which should be most skilled at transformation and renowned for beauty, these male foxes each had large, bulging bellies, their groom outfit belts stretched extremely tight, walking barefoot with fox tails drooping behind them.

Occasionally, their pupils flashed with an extremely disgusting, greedy, and lustful expression as they pretentiously bowed to the beautiful woman on the main seat. "Thank you, aunt, for finding us beautiful brides again..."

Some of their voices sounded warm and smooth like jade, some had pleasing youthful tones, while others had slightly hoarse, deep voices—each had their own charm.

If one didn't see their true forms and only heard their voices, it would be easy to find them appealing.

After a bout of pretentiously showing off their literary flair and lavishing extravagant praise on the old crimson foxes, the beautiful women on the seats immediately beamed with joy, waving their hands and laughing, "Stop with the glib talk, go quickly and welcome your brides..."

"Tap—"

Before they could approach, the curtain of one sedan chair was gently lifted, and a pale, slender hand reached out, the delicate fingers seemingly boneless, making the groom foxes' eyes go wide instantly.

Just from that hand alone, they could tell this tribute bride was likely excellent quality.

Only, she was too pale, seemingly somewhat malnourished.

Her fingernails were also dark blue, slightly marring the beauty.

The bride covered with a large red veil gently stepped onto the ground, immediately causing faint yin energy to subtly permeate the cave. The large red lanterns hanging around began swaying without any wind.

The candle flames inside flickered slightly, as if about to extinguish.

Some fox descendants with lower cultivation immediately felt unsettled.

Several male foxes, their lust overwhelming them—their cultivation wasn't high to begin with, and their danger awareness was weak—swarmed over together.

One with particularly bold lust even directly attempted to take the Ghost Bride's hand.

"Wait!—"

By the time the beautiful woman on the main seat noticed something wrong, her expression slightly changing as she tried to stop them, it was already too late.

The male foxes closest to the Ghost Bride were all decapitated by blades formed from yin energy.

Two red silk ribbons flew out from her sleeves, instantly shredding those male foxes into scattered flesh and blood, their misshapen, impure inner pills directly crushed to dust.

"Ahhhhh, where did this wild ghost come from? Watch as I directly strike you down!—"

The beautiful women at the main table immediately changed expressions. Those male foxes were all their direct descendants. Because of impure bloodlines, they had difficulty making progress in cultivation.

But since they knew how to please these women, they had naturally been indulged and spoiled, even having brides sought for them as nourishment.

After painstakingly raising them for several hundred years, now they were all killed in an instant?

Flesh and blood scattered everywhere, inner pills destroyed, even their spiritual consciousness directly pierced through by the Ghost Bride—I'm afraid not even the greatest immortal could save them now.

The beautiful women's aura surged dramatically, their originally slender, jade-like hands transforming into long fox claws, several thick fox tails emerging from their backs, directly attacking the Ghost Bride.

The Ghost Bride didn't fall behind either, her large red wedding dress fluttering, demonically beautiful like blood, her thin lips beneath the red veil slightly parting. "I'm killing exactly you damned beasts!—"

Several terrifying figures immediately entangled together.

"Fire! There's a fire!—"

"Fire, it's fire! Grandmother!..."

"Squeak— Run quickly..."

"Wuwu... Put out the fire, put out the fire!..."

Wave after wave of eerie ghost flames began burning from the cave entrance, almost every spot having been seeded with fire by the Ghost Bride, instantly connecting together into a raging blaze. Terrifying tongues of fire spread everywhere.

Clearly, the Ghost Bride engaging them alone was merely a diversion, meant to keep the crimson foxes occupied for a while.

By the time they realized what was happening, the entire mountainside was already a sea of fire. Though they had some cultivation, ultimately they were still beasts with a natural reverence for fire.

Coupled with years of smooth sailing, now caught completely off guard, most foxes couldn't avoid the rapidly spreading flames.

Many slower foxes had already been swallowed by the flames, rolling on the ground.

The white fox hesitated about whether to intervene, planning to take advantage of the chaos to protect some younger generation members and leave. Looking around, it wondered if that Blind Zhang fellow was here somewhere.

If he learned what the fox clan had been doing here, he would definitely intervene.

Its final gaze fell upon the other sedan chair—
