As they stared at Hulli Jing, who was currently in a standoff against Xu Huan, Xu Wei'er, Xu Chang'er and Xu Hao'er, couldn't help but feel sweat fall down their foreheads.

'Huan'er, using your nephews as bait to steal a treasure is not something that I expected of you,' said Hulli Jing as she looked at the brush that was floating above the latter, causing the small fox to suddenly let out a snort, causing her aura to become serious.

"You just want an excuse to take it for yourself," said Xu Huan, causing the Saint Ranked Fur Brush to fly closer to herself, as if it feared being stolen by Hulli Jing.

Unlike Hulli Jing, who spoke using spiritual sense, Xu Huan voiced out her thoughts, making Hulli Jing feel a little bit weird.

Hearing the words of her daughter and seeing the scene in front of her, Hulli Jing couldn't help but clench her sharp teeth, causing sparks to fly out of the mouth of her large fox form.

But even so, at this moment, Hulli Jing suddenly realized the trap that the latter was trying to place on her.

'She's trying to use these little guys as weapons against me, it looks like she really doesn't have any plans of surrendering this brush to me,' said Hulli Jing, as she debated using force to obtain this fur brush.

Of course, even though the cute fox face carved into the brush tempted Hulli Jing greatly, she did not let these thoughts stay in her mind for long, as she then turned her attention onto the three foxes that were silently watching the scene.

A moment later, under the eyes of Xu Huan, who was still guarding the fur brush with a serious look on her face, the three little guys floated over to Hulli Jing, who then flew away with them in tow.

It was only after Hulli Jing had flown quite a distance away that Xu Huan finally lowered her guard and turned her attention onto the brush in front of her.

This brush was created by a True Immortal with a Fox Dao companion before he ascended, as such, even though the True Immortal did not use any truly immensely powerful treasures in creating it, the brush still became a Saint Rank Treasure.

At the same time, that True Immortal seemed to have had a great understanding of foxes, as the cute little fox carved into the side of the brush made Xu Huan lay the brush down and stare at it for years straight.

Of course, Xu Huan had no time to do so, as the abilities of the brush made it even more tempting for her.

"I wonder how fluffy my tail will be after I brush it with this thing for a while," mumbled Xu Huan as she then dripped a drop of blood onto the brush.

...

As they looked at Xu Huan, whose already smooth fur had become even smoother, and who now had an extremely fluffy tail following her around, the eyes of both Xu Yanmei and Xu Xiaoqing became slightly bloodshot.

Even though the two of them had heard from Hulli Jing about the treasure that Xu Huan had obtained, both of them instantly knew something.

'I have to get my hands on it,' thought both Xu Yanmei and Xu Xiaoqing, causing the atmosphere in the room to become even more tense.

At this moment, the mission that Hulli Jing had given to them exited the minds of the two foxes, as the brush in Xu Huan's hands became of much higher importance.

...

"Seven Million High Grade Spiritual Stones," said Xu Xiaoqing as she looked at Xu Huan with a bloodshot look in her eyes, causing the latter to suddenly fall into thought.

"Half an hour of brushing done by me, that should be fair," said Xu Huan as she looked at Xu Xiaoqing, causing the latter to nearly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Yea, that's fair..." mumbled Xu Xiaoqing as she gritted her teeth.

Several hours later,

As she looked at Xu Yanmei and Xu Xiaoqing, whose already fluffy tails had clearly gotten over two times fluffier, and had reached near perfection, Hulli Jing couldn't help but become slightly speechless.

After a few moments of silence, Hulli Jing then disappeared, making the two foxes then stare at each other.

"How much do you want to bet that she went to Huan'er?" asked Xu Xiaoqing as she looked at her sister.

"I'm willing to bet all of my assets that she went to Huan'er," said Xu Yanmei with a clearly convinced look in her eyes, making Xu Xiaoqing, who really wanted to bet, to become silent.

...

As the four foxes, who all now even smoother furs and fluffier tails, stared at each other, a weird silence swept across the room, causing Xu Wei'er, who was currently grounded in a corner of the room, to feel a chill in her heart.

"Huan'er, it's really nice that you looked after those three little guys, if you left them on their own they would have caused way too much trouble," said Xu Yanmei as she let out a laugh, making the other three foxes suddenly speechless.

'She really inherited her mother's shamelessness, to throw your own children into the fire for some benefits,' thought Hulli Jing as she looked at Xu Yanmei.

"I couldn't bear to let them go out on their own, and I knew that even if I sent them to you, they would have found some way to sneak out, so I had to go with them, what kind of aunt would I have been otherwise?" asked Xu Huan, making Xu Wei'er nearly burst out cursing both Xu Huan, and those other two traitors who sold her out for a lesser punishment.

As she thought about Xu Chang'er, who had already devoured the Longevity Fruit that she had obtained before arriving back home, as well as about Xu Hao'er, who managed to keep some of the treasures she obtained, Xu Wei'er couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, making Xu Xiaoqing look at her with a sympathetic look on her face, aware of the feelings she was experiencing at the moment.

But even so, Xu Xiaoqing had no intention of involving herself in this.
