My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 37: Caught by a Snow Fox

Speaking of luck, Ely didn't know what to say because she got lost and didn't know her current location. She had split up with Jophiel a few hours ago to find the vitality herb.

It was a secret realm deep in the snowy mountains. Ely and Jophiel promised to meet back at their resting cave at dusk, but a sudden blizzard hit Ely.

Not to mention, the telecommunication talisman was disrupted in this blizzard. She had to leave this place first.

"Where am I now, and where should I go? We shouldn't split up... Blame me for coming up with this stupid idea." Ely tapped her head as she felt silly.

"Uh, I can't just stay here for long, or I'll get buried in the snow." Ely made up her mind and kept moving forward in one direction.

Ely didn't know how far she had gone. She couldn't even tell whether what she saw was still reality or a mirage. She could see nothing but snow in the blizzard.

She might be in the outside world or still inside the secret realm, but she couldn't tell the difference. Her mental exhaustion increased, and her stamina drained with insane speed.

Her multiple cold resistance artifacts blocked the cold perfectly, but they couldn't lessen the forbidden area's debuff.

*Rumble!*

An avalanche swept the sea of snow and ice from behind, but Ely failed to notice it. She realized her predicament when it was already so close to her.

"!?" Ely used her protective artifact to create a spherical energy barrier. Regardless, she was already buried in the deep snow and swept away somewhere unknown.

---

On the other side of the snowy mountain peaks, two Demi-God entities were fighting fiercely in a deadly battle. Explosions, avalanches, and catastrophic destruction ravaged the surrounding area as their superpowers clashed.

Several mountains were obliterated, but they were unaware of their impact on their surroundings.

One side was an ethereal cold foxy beauty clad in an icy white robe, and the other was the gallant bear-like man in full-body armor.

"I shall take you home as my wife, cold vixen." The Fiery Bear spat out a mouthful of blood, but his face still looked radiant, and his smile had not faded.

"Go away and don't bother me ever again." The snow vixen rolled her eyes. She considered killing this troublemaker once and for all but didn't feel it was worth it. It would just invite more trouble instead.

"Heh, I may still be far inferior to you. However, one day, I will definitely surpass you and conquer you. Even if you are the Celestial Fox, that day will come. I shall prove it and engrave my figure into your heart!" The Fiery Bear drew his greatsword, and an immeasurable cold qi surrounded him. He would defeat this cold beauty and bring her home this time with his new ultimate move.

"You will be half dead, at least. Don't blame me for this." The snow vixen brandished her ice sword.

The two said nothing more and soared for another fierce clash through the sky. The snow vixen held her true power back, but her opponent exerted his all for that one move.

*Swoosh!* *Boom!*

A super-hot sun arrow shot from the foot of the mountain into the sky at supersonic speed. A large hole was created amidst the blizzard, and golden flames exploded in the sky. It caused the temperature to rise significantly.

"!?" The two Demi Gods gasped and immediately backed away to a safe distance.

An attack of that class was far above their league, and it almost hit them if they had clashed a second earlier.

"I've had enough of this! Don't you dare swallow me up in a blizzard while I'm crossing this mountain range!" The shadow nine-tailed fox crawled out from the gigantic snow hole on the ground.

She complained about the dispersed blizzard while brushing the pile of snow off her body.

"Phew..." Ely breathed a sigh of relief. Solving the problem with a violent smart move was sometimes the best solution.

She put down her Sunfire Bow and cooled the flames with another artifact of water and ice. After securing her things, she walked away casually.

However, she suddenly felt a pair of gazes from the northeastern mountainside. She glanced in that direction and found two foreign experts floating in mid-air. The lady was enveloped in an icy elemental aura, and the man was burning in blue flames.

"So, the blizzard just now was because of your battle? Don't mind me, and please continue after I pass this mountain range." Ely waved her hand high, then quickly walked away.

It was like a fast hopping rabbit across the snowy region, but her movement speed was still so slow in the eyes of the two Demi-Gods.

"Another nine-tailed fox? Is she your little sister? She is pretty young, but her beauty is not inferior to yours, cold vixen." The Fiery Bear rubbed his chin as his mouth curved into a meaningful smile.

"!!!" The cold vixen widened her eyes.

The previous deadly move made her wary of that shadow fox, but her inner self said something different.

The coldness in her gaze instantly melted away as she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Nevertheless, she didn't feel sure about the truth because that shadow fox was shrouded in an unsolvable mist of mystery.

She felt a familiar aura and sense of belonging from that shadow fox, but that fox was not someone she had been looking for all this time.

Even so, she had no intention of letting that shadow fox getaway. They were from the same kin, but the other party might hold valuable clues regarding the person she sought.

Therefore, she immediately grabbed the Fiery Bear with immense spiritual energy and threw him into the distant sky. She was afraid that the lecherous bear might make his move to that young shadow fox.

"Aaahhh!!!" The Fiery Bear disappeared into the sky like a shooting star.

No one knew how far he was sent flying or where he would land. The cold vixen didn't hold back her true power at the slightest bit because of her sudden excitement.

"Please wait." The cold vixen hastily chased after the running away shadow fox.

"!?" Ely was shocked because the Demi-God lady suddenly targeted her. That lady was also a legendary nine-tailed snow fox!

Her fur was purplish-black, but the other party was snow white. Perhaps, there was a bit of conflict? Whatever it was, Ely didn't want to take the risk and immediately blew the emergency whistle.

Her whistle's sound was inaudible to any living beings. However, it could be heard as a distress call to the nearby nature or elemental spirits. There was no more blizzard, and she could call for help now.

*Poof*

The snow spirit popped out from the nearby pile of ice to answer the distress call from the sacred lady favored by heaven.

"I didn't offend you or cause any trouble, but why are you chasing me, lady snow fox!? I was crossing this mountain range to pick herbs!" Ely hurriedly climbed into the snow cloud.

*Swoosh*

The snow spirit shot out at an impressive speed, carrying Ely away. However, the Demi-God snow fox continued to chase after it like there was no tomorrow.

"Please wait! Just for a moment... I don't mean any harm." The snow fox was agitated when she saw the shadow fox anxious to escape her pursuit.

"No!" Ely was frightened by that lady's predatory gaze. She felt like a lamb before the wolf, and she couldn't believe that snow fox's words easily.

"Ugh!" The snow fox didn't know what to do. She desperately wanted a proper conversation with that shadow fox, but that snow cloud flew so fast.

She might lose her precious clue at this rate. With that in mind, she used her secret technique to catch the other party. That way, they could talk peacefully afterward.

"Eh?" Ely was stunned when her first layer of defense suddenly shattered into pieces. She fell from the snow spirit and rolled on the snow.

The snow fox caught her and gripped her arms tightly with both hands.

"You can't run anymore now. Please hear me. I mean no harm. Eh?" The snow fox gazed at the shadow fox's mesmerizing purplish-blue eyes. It was like she was looking into a starry night sky, but there was a hidden endless abyss within.

Her consciousness seemed sucked in, and she couldn't help but go pensive and enthralled. This sense of familiarity was not her gut feeling but something from her spirit.

Her lips trembled, her spirit shook, and tears filled her eyes. Upon closer look, she thought this shadow fox was the one she had been looking for all this time.

However, she brushed that thought aside because her spirit connection was not connected to this young shadow fox. Might it be just people with similar appearances?

"Bad. Don't move." Ely pressed a sealing talisman onto the snow fox's forehead.

She was safe for now but couldn't free herself from the snow fox's grip. The other party's movement was sealed for several minutes, but she had no physical power to break free!

"I can't move? You, who are you? Why, why are you so much like someone I know? But, you're a nine-tailed shadow fox..." The snow fox embraced the shadow fox tightly before her movements were completely sealed. She had no intention of releasing this shadow fox.

"What's wrong with shadow fox? Let me go, pervert! Is that your pickup line to trap an innocent young fox like me?" Ely struggled to free herself again.

However, her fate was already sealed, just like the fish gripped by a cat. It was difficult to break loose.
