"That's because you think this is impossible," Pan Jiao wouldn't believe Xiaoyao didn't have such thoughts—she just felt Xiaoyao didn't believe this matter.

"I'm doing fine by myself. Why would I want to command the world?" Xiaoyao didn't refute, just asked a question.

"That's power. Power can give you everything you want," Pan Jiao said.

"What I want is a carefree life. Power would only plunge me into trouble—where's the carefree part in that?" Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"This..."

"People pursue different things. What you pursue doesn't mean everyone has to pursue it. You think this item can bring you everything, but to me it only brings trouble. So I'm returning this item to you," Xiaoyao said with a smile. Regardless of whether the other party listened, he prepared to toss the green jade flute to her.

Just at this moment, a voice came over, causing another change in the situation...

"Young man, don't give it to her. Either keep it yourself or give it to me."

This voice came very suddenly, but everyone felt it was very melodious, like heavenly music. Just this voice alone captivated everyone—except for Xiaoyao and Hei Xue.

"This seems to be..." Hei Xue's eyes brightened. She could tell that besides being naturally pleasant, this voice was mixed with something else—something similar to her demonic sound that could captivate hearts and souls.

"..." Xiaoyao didn't speak, just shook his head, thinking to himself: What's going on? Why am I encountering another acquaintance?

The newcomer was someone Xiaoyao knew. Her appearance surprised him, but thinking about it, it was also possible—she should also be here for the item in his hands.

Soon, she appeared before Xiaoyao. Her every movement immediately captivated everyone, and that soul-stirring feeling grew deeper.

"I say, sister, how did you end up here?" Xiaoyao said with a smile. This smile had a somewhat ingratiating meaning, simply because he didn't dare offend the person before him.

This person wasn't Qi Yanran. His "sister" was just a flattering form of address, and generally speaking, this would cause her displeasure. But she didn't have any particularly strong feelings about Xiaoyao using this address—it was acceptable.

Anyone who knew of her existence would definitely be shocked to see her accept Xiaoyao's form of address, and would definitely treat Xiaoyao with respect afterward, not provoking him unnecessarily. Simply because he could call her "sister" without being rejected.

This "she" was Heart Moon Fox, that mysterious Heart Moon Fox, an existence that could make even the Xuanwu Family tremble with fear...

However, not many people knew of Heart Moon Fox. None of the people here knew her, even Li Yihun, who had been tormented by her, had never seen Heart Moon Fox's true appearance.

"Why can't I be here? Do you know that the item in your hands belongs to me?" Heart Moon Fox said directly.

"What?" Xiaoyao looked at Heart Moon Fox, somewhat surprised. He believed Heart Moon Fox's words because she had no need to lie—all the people here together weren't enough for one of her hands.

This was unexpected for him. The important item everyone was fighting over actually belonged to Heart Moon Fox.

"What do you mean it's yours? Anyone can obtain this item. If you want to get it, ask us first," Zhao Boxuan immediately said. At this time, Heart Moon Fox's strength couldn't be discerned, so Zhao Boxuan felt his own strength could compete.

"Whoever gets this will eventually have to give it to me. Originally, I would help the person who obtained the item do one thing, but now it seems unnecessary—who told you to choose poorly and give it to this kid," Heart Moon Fox said with a smile.

If this item were given to others and she obtained it from them, she would have to help that person do one thing—something she would try her utmost to accomplish. This was such a significant condition, and Xiaoyao could understand this. Being able to get Heart Moon Fox to do something—that condition was terrifying. No wonder they were all fighting over it.

However, he didn't yet know that this matter wasn't just about getting Heart Moon Fox to do something, but getting the force behind Heart Moon Fox to do something—that was the key point.

"What do you mean by that? Could you be..." Zhao Boxuan looked at Heart Moon Fox with wide eyes. He thought of something, thought of someone. If this matter were true, if the person before him was that person, then this affair would end here.

In the end, all their efforts would be like drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain. The only consolation was that no one else had gained any benefit either.

"I'm called Heart Moon Fox. You should know what to do now," Heart Moon Fox said with a smile.

"So it's Lady Heart Moon Fox. Please don't take offense at any impropriety," Zhao Boxuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting this matter to really be like this. Now it would end here. Of course, he had to be polite on the surface so as not to displease her—otherwise, not only would he not get the item, but he'd also invite trouble.

"Heart Moon Fox? You're the Heart Moon Fox who tormented me?" Li Yihun looked at Heart Moon Fox and exclaimed, but soon broke out in a sweat, thinking to himself: Why am I running my mouth? If she's Heart Moon Fox, then I'm in trouble.

Originally, he had thought about getting revenge on Heart Moon Fox in the future, but now it seemed Heart Moon Fox's status was extraordinary. He already felt powerless facing Zhao Boxuan and his group, and Zhao Boxuan treated Heart Moon Fox the same way he treated Zhao Boxuan. The gap was self-evident—he believed he could never catch up in this lifetime.

Being able to catch up to Zhao Boxuan and his group would already be quite good. For someone like Heart Moon Fox, he could only look up to her.

"Who are you?" Heart Moon Fox looked at Li Yihun with some confusion. She couldn't remember when she had tormented Li Yihun, which made Li Yihun feel very sad—he held no weight at all in her heart.

"I'm Li Yihun..." Li Yihun said reluctantly.

"Oh, so you're that Li Yihun. I remember now. I did seem to mess with you. Do you feel like you want more?" Heart Moon Fox remembered. She still recalled this name, just not the appearance clearly.

"No, no need! Is everything fine now? Can we leave?" Li Yihun immediately shook his head and asked something everyone wanted to know.

"All of you go. Don't disturb me and this kid catching up," Heart Moon Fox waved her hand. For everyone, this was like a great amnesty, and soon everyone had left, leaving only the three of them at the scene.

"Tell me, who was that kid just now? How does he have such a close relationship with Heart Moon Fox?" Yang Xiu, Pan Jiao, and Zhao Boxuan discussed this briefly after leaving. Now that the matter was over, they were no longer opponents.

"He can call Heart Moon Fox 'sister,' and she didn't object. Moreover, she seems to treat him like one of her own. In the future, when we encounter him, we should be respectful. Otherwise, if we provoke him, we might provoke Heart Moon Fox. Fortunately, none of us did anything to him just now," Zhao Boxuan said. Thinking about it made him feel a bit scared, because he had also considered doing some "examination" of Xiaoyao earlier.

"Who exactly is this Heart Moon Fox you're talking about?" Li Yihun couldn't help but ask. At this time, he was also following Zhao Boxuan and the others. Since they weren't enemies anymore, it would be best if they could become friends.

"You don't need to know this. With some matters, the less you know, the better," Pan Jiao immediately said, and the other two had the same opinion, which made Li Yihun even more curious.

Although Li Yihun didn't know the specific situation, he knew one thing: Heart Moon Fox absolutely could not be provoked!

If Heart Moon Fox had such status, then why was Le Xiaoyao a servant? And what kind of existence was his boss?

These questions also swirled in Li Yihun's mind, but he never got the answers because Xiaoyao and his group wouldn't have any intersection with him—his status was completely insufficient.

If Li Yihun knew this now, he would definitely be depressed to death. The first time he met Xiaoyao, he was high and mighty, but now he discovered that the other person was the truly high and mighty one.

On the other side, Heart Moon Fox sat down with Xiaoyao to drink and chat. Of course, regarding this jade flute matter, Xiaoyao was also curious and casually asked about it.

"I say, what exactly is this short flute?" Xiaoyao asked. The short flute was still in his hands. Heart Moon Fox hadn't immediately taken it back, and he had played with and observed it for a while without discovering anything special about this item.

"This is the Azure Dragon Token," Heart Moon Fox said.

"What? Azure Dragon Token?" Xiaoyao asked in confusion. He had never heard of what the Azure Dragon Token was. Matters related to the Azure Dragon Token were all passed down orally with no written records, so naturally he couldn't have seen it in books.

"Yes, the Azure Dragon Token—a token that can command the Azure Dragon. If someone who isn't from the Azure Dragon obtains it, they can make the Azure Dragon do one thing," Heart Moon Fox nodded.

"Azure Dragon? Right, your name is Heart Moon Fox, belonging to the Azure Dragon constellation. Could it be that the force behind you is this Azure Dragon?" Xiaoyao asked.

"Correct," Heart Moon Fox nodded. "This Azure Dragon has no relationship whatsoever with the Azure Dragon Empire, although the Azure Dragon Empire also has Azure Dragon forces."

Generally, when people heard "Azure Dragon," they would think it was related to the Azure Dragon Empire, but in fact, the Azure Dragon didn't belong to any country at all and was more formidable than any country.

"You're called Heart Moon Fox, one of the Azure Dragon's seven stars. Your status shouldn't be low," Xiaoyao tentatively asked. Now he seemed to somewhat understand Heart Moon Fox's position and the force behind her.

"Correct, my status isn't low. But you might be thinking wrong. I'm called Heart Moon Fox, but that doesn't mean there are six other constellations together. Each generation of Azure Dragon has only one constellation designation. The person with this designation is the Azure Dragon's leader, and I happen to be Heart Moon Fox in this generation," Heart Moon Fox said with a smile.
