Chapter 15: Recruiting x Conquering.
"M..ma..master, I'm not so sure I can provide that much." She stuttered looking distressed.
" It's ok, I'll be helping as well." Su Ping's face turned serious. Seeing that, Ming Yao trembled her eyes unconsciously looking at his huge 5 meters body from head to toe.
" Master on second thought, I forgot to mention that in some cases, we fox demons make exceptions after all, who doesn't love their own species." The nervous Ming Yao forced a smile while trembling visibly.
" Oh, is that so? I didn't know."
" it really is master! Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find more of my species capable of meeting your requirements."
Ming Yao hurried to say. Seeing that she was now open to the idea and looked more eager, Su Ping let out an inward sigh of relief.
With that settled, Su Ping had Ming Yao lead the way. In no time, they made it to a small fox den. two fox demons, both black with red markings, sensed their intrusion and quickly cane out only to stop in their tracks when they saw Su Ping's huge form.
" Ming Yao, convey my words to them. I'd very much like to end this quickly so we can head to the other area's. If we can get this done before afternoon, that would be great." Su Ping couldn't converse with the fox demons so he had Ming Yao act as a translator.
Ming Yao didn't understand what he meant by afternoon but, she followed his orders without fail.
The two fox demons looked wary as if unsure to trust him. Unlike other demons they were more rational which was another reason Su Ping felt like he should recruit them.
Just when it seemed like the fox demons had come to a conclusion, Ming Yao stiffened as if recalling something and spoke to the two fox demons again.
Both fox demons stiffened, one retreated behind the other while eyeing Su Ping strangely while the male fox demon suddenly turned fierce, glaring at Su Ping.
[F rank skill: Fox Illusion]
[Warning: You've been hit by a skill]
Su Ping was at a loss, before he could ask Ming Yao what she had said, the male fox demons eyes glowed red while it simultaneously charged at him.
[Skill is in the form of a psychic attack]
[Dark Dragon Eyes negates psychic attacks]
[Skill effects negated]
Su Ping who knew it was trying to use it's abilities on him felt there was no more room for negotiation.
He remained still, the male fox demon felt satisfied, believing victory was at hand but, the instant he came within a meter of Su Ping.
Su Ping's maw filled with countless sharp fangs, lunged forward, bitting off the male fox demons entire head in a split second.
The scene was completely surely, even Ming Yao who had seen him kill before couldn't follow his movements, thinking to herself that he had gotten even faster.
Su Ping savoured the metallic taste of the demons flesh, he was at a loss when his tongue enjoyed the taste.
[Lvl 1 Fox Demon wishes to join you. Do you accept?]
[Y/N]
The system notification snapped him out of his daze, only then did he realize that the remaining fox demon was in a submissive position on the floor while trembling.
Su Ping accepted and the female fox underwent the same baptism as Ming Yao.
' Acquire territory.'
[Detecting a territory of 50 square meters.]
[Inducting Territory into your ranks.]
[Congratulations on acquiring a territory]
[Reward: Lvl 1 structure card]
' A structure card?, what's that?'
[A structure card is a Kings Game item that allows you to build structures to help your conquest. Each structure card varies in the structures it constructs, it's uses, levels and so on.]
' I see..., but why didn't I gain a structure card last time?'
[Achievement was insignificant. Moreover, the probability of gaining a construction card isn't 100%]
' I see... Then could you please enlighten me on the tiers in between levels and the skill levels.'

Su Ping went through them before memorizing the info, he was dumbfounded by the later parts of both lists but knew he didn't have time to waste around, geeking out[1].
He finished, at the same time, the system panel vanished. He sighed with relief then turned his attention back to the black fox demon
" From now on, you'll be Ning An." Su Ping had Ming Yao talk to her so that she could become knowledgeable about their plan.
Ning was sulking for reasons Su Ping could only match with it being because her mate had died, though he was far from the truth. but after talking to Ming Yao, Ning An calmed down as if digesting her words before becoming excited and eager.
" Well that's surprising. Just what did you tell her to make her this energetic." Su Ping called Ming Yao over and asked her.
