Chapter 868: Chapter 867 Remember to Drink More Warm Water

The fox spirit ran away, and Lu Bei watched it happen, acting as if nothing had occurred.

It was part of the plan.

Now, joining forces with XiangLiu and Gu Diao to march directly towards the Nine-tail King City would have a certain element of surprise, making the battle relatively easy and reducing losses.

Correspondingly, the experience gained would also diminish.

Lu Bei had already made a disadvantageous deal with the Xiangliu Royal City once, and there was no reason to suffer a second time. Letting the fox spirit escape was to give the Nine-tail King City ample time to prepare for war, so the fight would be more satisfying with strong and healthy soldiers.

This move was also made with Fox Er in mind.

Lu Bei had said he wanted to bring his foster mother back to his hometown with honor. If this battle ended hastily, where would the glory come from?
