    Chapter Index

    “Huh?”

    The little fox cocked its head, its black button eyes looking blankly at Xu Qi’an.

    After a few seconds, it exulted, “How did you know my nick name is Cutie, that’s what my sisters call me.”

    This is not the point! Xu Qi’an criticized harshly in his heart, smiling amiably:

    “So, is there a way to contact her?”

    The little white fox nodded and shook his head again, caution showing in his ebony eyes, saying:

    “The Queen’s whereabouts are confidential and I cannot initiate contact with her without permission.”

    Ma’am? Princess? Who are they talking about ah ……… Li Lingsu, who was listening, froze for a moment.

    Although he knew that the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror was the relic of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, he didn’t know that Bai Ji was a member of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox’s clan, much less Xu Qi’an’s intentions.

    Xu Qi’an looked sideways at Li Lingsu and Miao Youfang and frowned:

    “What are you waiting for? Have your assignments fallen on deaf ears? Hurry up and get to work, I don’t keep losers here.”

    Miao Youfang carried his sword and left with his ass in the air.

    The godmother and her son deserved to die, and those subordinates who aided and abetted the evil were doing the same thing of oppressing the people.

    If they think that by fleeing the City Hall, they will be able to write off the bad things they have done in the past, they are thinking too nicely.

    Li Ling Su’s mission when he went to the middle-aged man’s mother-in-law to see the doctor, to avoid dying because of a serious illness.

    Xu Qian, no, Xu Qi An This guy, since he confessed his identity, he has not pretended ……… Occasionally I still miss that Xu senior, at least he will not curse like Xu Qi An, not a bit of education, really a coarse martial artist.

    Xu Qian is more of a senior ……..

    Li Lingsu belabored Xu Qi’an while missing Xu Qian.

    Xu Qi’an closed the temple door, took the little white fox from Mu Nanjia’s arms and lifted it high, revealing a gentle and sunny smile:

    “Help contact the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox and I’ll buy you good food, lots and lots of good food.”

    Unmoved by the temptations of the white john, Bai Ji spoke serious words in a softly moistened childish voice:

    “No, rules are rules.”

    If Xu Lingyin were to do so, she would have sold her entire family by now. It is true that human cubs and fox cubs are not comparable………. Xu Qi’an added:

    “Do you know about the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror?”

    The little white fox answered honestly, “I don’t know.”

    It was a new generation of cubs in the fox clan, and the events of five hundred years ago were too distant for her to understand the general course of events only from word of mouth, unable to pinpoint a particular magic treasure that had disappeared for hundreds of years.

    Xu Qi’an spoke of the matter of the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror.

    “So it’s very important that you contact her.”

    Xu Qi’an took out his adult stance, posturing that this was a serious matter.

    As a rule, when children see this kind of stand, they are mostly hesitant and six-faced, because they are not yet in the habit and sense of being in charge.

    Of course, this trick would definitely not work on Xu Lingyin, who would listen to you in a serious manner and then not give a damn.

    But Bai Ji is delicate, crybaby, soft-tempered and reserved, like a little girl in a big family, like a little adult, sensible.

    “Okay, well ……..”

    It cocked its head in thought and softly answered.

    Because Xu Yinluo said it so solemnly, and because it was the relics of the country’s master back then, Bai Ji seemed to think that it was indeed a big deal.

    I can’t say that the Queen is in great need, and I can’t do anything bad myself.

    It whirled around and kicked its hind limbs, signaling Xu Qi’an to put itself down.

    Xu Baijun did as he was told, and Baiji ran over to the toppled sculpture with his furry fox tail up, glancing at the high pedestal and looking back:

    “You can put it up for me.”

    “Can’t you dance yourself?” Xu Qi’an asked rhetorically.

    The little white fox’s pretty eyes seemed to water for a few moments as she commiserated:

    “I can’t jump up.

    “The Maiden’s descent is going to be rowdy, and I’m going to have to go up there.”

    Xu Qi’an then picked it up and placed it on the pedestal where the original temple god sculpture stood.

    The little white fox curled up, tucked in his fox tail, and closed his eyes as if he were asleep.

    Xu Qi’an and Mu Nanjian waited patiently.

    About half a quarter of an hour later, a will as vast as smoke and as majestic as the sea descended, no, to be precise, it was awakening from within Bai Ji.

    A second tail grew behind it, a third, a fourth …….. Until nine tails appeared, like peacocks with open screens.

    It opened its eyes, its ebony eyes replaced by a clear light that seemed to spill out of its sockets.

    The silver bell-like delicate laughter echoed in the temple, with the charm of compelling all beings.

    Here we go …….

    Princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, one of the peak powerhouses of the world.

    Xu Qi’an and she is also considered to have a “one-sided relationship”, but still do not dare to underestimate, body slightly tense, cupped fists:

    “Greetings, Mistress.”

    Bai Ji shook her nine fox tails and walked, step by step, her feet stepping into the void, stopping in front of Xu Qi’an, looking at him flatly and laughing:

    “What do you want with me, you little silver gong?”

    A big sister posture …….. Xu Qi An muttered in his heart, not saying anything directly, scrutinizing the little white fox and saying:

    “Shirahime is of your bloodline?”

    The way this Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox appeared was a bit odd, not as a will descending, but as an awakening.

    In other words, Bai Ji herself could be regarded as a sleeping Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and she could directly occupy this body as long as she wished.

    Xu Qi’an was now quite knowledgeable, and was clear that for this type of operation, in addition to the need for a specific secret method, the carrier that carried the consciousness was also very important, and it was usually the first bloodline that would be able to do so.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox laughed lightly:

    “Might as well guess.”

    …….. Xu Qi’an didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

    The Nine-tailed Sky Fox sidled his head and glanced at Mu Nanjian, who immediately glared.

    What to look at!

    She gently averted her gaze and proceeded to look at the Floating Pagoda.

    “Since you’ve already found Shenshu’s other arm, why don’t you release him?” The Nine-tailed Skyfox’s voice was soft.

    Is this questioning me …….. Xu Qi’an calmly said, “The prerequisite for releasing him is to be able to harness it, and besides, the tower spirit isn’t willing to release Shenshu.”

    “Stupid!”

    Even when she cursed, she gave off a feeling of a lover’s pout, and Xu Qi’an felt that this was probably the highest level of seduction.

    “If the tower spirit doesn’t want it, then forcefully destroy it, what’s the point of having a disobedient magic treasure? Shenshu’s severed arm is full of malice, but to put it another way, it is the best means of checking the enemy.

    “If you utilize it wisely, it can help you kill your enemies across the ranks. You’ve spent time with it, so you should be clear that it can communicate and deliberate, rather than being an evil thing that works purely according to instinct.”

    The little white fox walked and talked at the same time, and when it stopped, it was almost face-to-face with Xu Qi’an.

    Obviously a fox cub, but showing a very strong imperial sister attack.

    Xu Qi’an frowned and took a step back.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox froze and scrutinized him for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud and teased:

    “Beast Compulsion.”

    Beast compulsion is heart compulsion.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox smiled:

    “The fox clan has the least shortage of beauties, demure and loose, pure and lovely, charming and passionate, cold and colorful as ice ………. This palace can reward Xu Yinluo with a batch of fox tribe beauties for you to practice heart compulsion.”

    Niangniang, our fox clan should be a promise ……… Xu Qi an said in a deep voice:

    “Thanks for the kind words, but this Ginko is not a womanizer.”

    Mu Nanjian had a small face the whole time, and her heart was old and angry.

    As a woman, she instinctively resisted the flavorful Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, and what made her even more wary was that Xu Qi’an, who had always traveled with ease in the midst of all the flowers, seemed to not be able to curry favor in front of her, and was even vaguely suppressed.

    It’s not a suppression in terms of cultivation, but a suppression in terms of master and guest.

    Xu Qi’an took a deep breath, “This time, I’ve asked the Empress to come over for an important matter.”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox smiled and waited for him to continue.

    “I’ve found the remnants of the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror.” Xu Qi’an didn’t sell the story and got right to the point.

    The nine tails that the little white fox was gently stroking, suddenly stalled, and after a few seconds, the nine-tailed sky fox’s soft voice rang out, transmitting a little thirst and surprise:

    “Are you sure it’s the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror?”

    Without any nonsense, Xu Qi’an beckoned and summoned the Floating Pagoda, communicating with the Pagoda Spirit.

    The door to the first floor of the Floating Pagoda opened, and golden light wrapped around the Hun Heavenly Divine Mirror flew out and landed in Xu Qi’an’s palm.

    The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and the eye without eyelashes no longer protruded from the mirror.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox’s gaze followed it, the clear light in her eyes slowly converging, revealing a pair of ebony eyes, the same pair of eyes, but in Xu Qi’an’s opinion, its demeanor was very different from that of the little white fox.

    Bai Ji’s eyes were watery and innocent, the cleanest child’s eyes.

    Now these eyes have so many complex looks, remembrance, sadness, joy, disappointment …….. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and they hold such complex emotions.

    “The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror was the vanity mirror of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in the past?”

    Xu Qi’an asked as he played with the bronze mirror.

    “Any piece of magic treasure has its own unique abilities, but during the weekdays, mother does place it on the table to act as a vanity mirror.”

    The complex emotions in the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox’s eyes converged, and clear light once again overflowed and filled the eyes.

    Xu Qi’an smiled and said, ”Then, what does the Empress intend to trade with.

    The host and guest positions were reversed, and Xu Qi’an took control of the initiative.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox sighed and snapped:

    “You thin-skinned man, I gave Bai Ji to you as a child bride, isn’t that enough? How dare you be so insatiable, that’s just it, Night Ji is your old lover anyway, so I’ll give you White Ji and Night Ji together.”

    Munan Gardenia’s eyebrows jumped.

    You want to whore me out for nothing? Xu Qi’an let out a “heh”:

    “My Lady, don’t joke about that.

    “Dharma treasures are rare in the world, and although the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror is broken, I can use my dragon’s qi to warm it and keep it by my side to defend against the enemy.

    “If you are not sincere, then I will take my leave.”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox laughed:

    “Mother is right, when men are ruthless, they are really half-hearted.

    “Just as well, since Xu Yinluo can’t look at the Bai Ji and Night Ji sisters, then this palace can only think of another method.”

    She seemed to have a mind of her own, and said without pause:

    “Two Demon Sealing Nails!”

    Xu Qi’an’s eyes lit up as he said, “Four!”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox snapped:

    “Why don’t you just let me help you remove all the seals.

    “Although I have a method, I can only pull out a maximum of two, and I can do nothing if there are any more. You should already know that the Demon Sealing Nail is a magic weapon made by the Buddha, and apart from Him, only a Bodhisattva can remove as many as possible.

    “In addition, I am now overseas and unable to return to the continent of Kyushu, and it will take some time to pull out the Demon Sealing Nail.”

    Exchanging a crippled magic treasure for two Demon Sealing Nails is definitely a big profit for me, and in the current situation, there is nothing more cost-effective than unlocking the seals ………. Xu Qi’an frowned:

    “How long?”

    “Three months!” She said.

    “No, I’ll only give you a month’s time, the deal will be voided after the expiration date.” Xu Qi’an was quite forceful.

    Three months is too late.

    “Yes!”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox obliged.

    After the deal was struck, Xu Qi’an said, “What is the Empress going overseas for?”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox laughed, “Looking for clansmen that may exist.”

    Xu Qi’an didn’t listen much, or, perhaps, didn’t realize the importance of the information contained in those words.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox explained:

    “After the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, the human and demon races rose to prominence, and a portion of the descendants of the gods and demons traveled far overseas, never to return.”

    Far away overseas ……… Xu Qi An suddenly thought of the “White Emperor” divine beast in the legend of Yunzhou, which is a foreign beast suspected to be the offspring of a qilin.

    Once came from overseas and stayed for a long time in Yunzhou in the coastal area, this beast exhaled into wind and inhaled into thunder, and appeared accompanied by wind, rain and thunder, which happened to solve the drought in Yunzhou at that time.

    “The Nine-tailed Skyfox is descended from gods and demons and possesses a unique spiritual essence, but the clan has always been scarce. Now I’m the only one left in the entire Nine States.”

    Nine-tailed sky fox sighed, self-hatred: “This palace a living for hundreds of years of yellow flower big girl, also want to marry, so out to sea to find the future husband cackle.”

    ……. Xu Qi’an couldn’t tell if she was telling the truth or not for a moment.

    To be honest, the character of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox made him a bit overwhelmed, shelved in the previous martial arts novels, it was the ancient spirit, temperamental demoness.

    Well, she was supposed to be the Demoness.

    Why must we find the same race, is it not good to find a different race …….. Xu Qi’an said:

    “I think heart compulsion suits you.”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox choked and stared at him slyly:

    “Your provocation was spot on.”

    Xu Qi’an let out a dry laugh and digressed:

    “Why did the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror stray into the Central Plains?”

    “In the past, the Demon Race was defeated, and the remnants scattered and fled, lurking all over the Nine States. After I rose to power, I subdued most of the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, but a small portion of the Demon Race was still scared out of their wits by the Buddhist Sect.

    “Choose to integrate into the human race and live in peace. Or live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, no longer participating in the affairs of the two races. And they more or less have the legacy of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in their hands, and the treasures that are lost and not found are not the only ones in the Hunting Heaven Divine Mirror.”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox said.

    “Hold your horses for a moment, ma’am, I have a few questions I’d like to ask.”

    He asked as he put the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror into the Floating Pagoda:

    “What was the real reason why the Buddha Sect destroyed the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom back then?”

    The history books say that it was because the demon race was in rebellion and brutalized the people, and the Buddhist sect exterminated the demons for the sake of the human race.

    But after all he’d been through, he’d be a fool to still believe what was written in books.

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox was silent for a long time, her mature and soft feminine voice carrying a few hints of coldness as she asked rhetorically:

    “Why do the Buddhists covet the Middle Kingdom territories?

    “If you can know the hidden truth behind this matter, you will naturally understand why the Buddha Sect wants to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.”

    If I knew, why would I ask you? Xu Qi’an said:

    “Please, Mistress.”

    The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox bristled and hummed petulantly, “The value of this information is not enough even if you were sold. What a beautiful thought, stinking man.”

    The tone was soft, like pampering.

    You’re a widow haunting the night! Xu Qi’an, who didn’t get an answer, angrily bellyached and turned to ask:

    “How does Your Majesty view the situation in the Central Plains? As far as I know, Xu Pingfeng has joined forces with the Buddhist Sect to invade the Central Plains.”

    The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Buddhist Sect were mortal enemies, and Xu Pingfeng had joined forces with the Buddhist Sect, so naturally he was also an enemy of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

    “I will give some help.”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox stated bluntly, “What else is there to ask?”

    How old are you foxes when you reach adulthood ah ………. Xu Qi’an shook his head, “No more.”

    Shirahime flew back to the pedestal, her tail diminishing secondarily in the process, and the clear light in her eyes narrowing.

    The four little short legs landed on the pedestal just as the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox left.

    “The Queen has gone ah?”

    It looked left and right knowing nothing about it, and cautiously walked to the edge of the pedestal, looked down, and after eyeballing the height, cautiously jumped.

    Took a fall.
