Chapter 700 – The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox

After hearing the Empress Dowager’s words (Note 1), Lin’an’s first thought was that the Emperor’s brother, in order to stabilize his power, was planning to compromise with the lords of the court and marry himself off to the heir of one of the princes.

This was not an unfounded speculation on her part, her mother consort had mentioned this aspect before, wanting to marry her off to Duke Ding’s second son.

The Empress Dowager’s voice was soft and light as she continued:

“After all, this palace is your mother in name only, your marriage affairs have to be handled by me.

“When the late emperor was around, he did not care about your marriage, and this palace was happy to steal time. And now that the new ruler has this intention, this palace is duty bound.”

The emperor s brother knows that I am close to the dog slave, although I have never admitted that I have a heart for him, but can t the emperor s brother see it ………… Linan s heart holds a breath.

His face instantly sank, and his tone was cold in its respect:

“This matter does not bother the Empress Dowager, Lin An will speak to the Emperor’s brother personally.”

The Empress Dowager gave her a somewhat surprised look:

“You don’t want to marry?”

Advent boarded up his face:

“I’m not marrying anyone.”

The Empress Dowager nodded, she didn’t care, and said softly:

“Also.

“I heard His Majesty say that you and Xu Yinluo are quite close and affectionate. It turns out that His Majesty had the wrong idea.”

……… Linan looked at her with a stupefied face.

There was probably a few seconds of petrification before Prosper stammered:

“Mother, what did Mother say?”

The Empress Dowager faintly said:

“His Majesty is going to give you and Xu Yinluo a marriage, if you don’t want to, just go back to him ………”

Before the words were finished, Prosper exclaimed:

“Since, since the Emperor’s brother has said so, then Lin An, even if he is a thousand times unwilling to do so, he can only follow.

“I am obliged to Mother to take care of it.”

The Empress Dowager stared at her for a few moments, revealing a small smile:

“You’ve matured quite a bit after all that.

“I’ve finished what this palace has to say, so stand down.”

“Prosper excuses himself!”

She saluted without changing her face and left Fengqi Palace with two of her personal palace maids.

Just after stepping out of the gate of Fengqi Palace, Lin An’s feet went soft and almost fell.

“Your Highness ……..”

Fortunately, the two palace maids were quick to assist her.

“Where is Your Highness uncomfortable? The slave girl will go and ask the imperial physician.”

The courtesan on the left hurried away.

Lin An leaned limply against another courtesan, dazed.

“Your Highness, Your Highness, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing this, the courtesan was in a great hurry.

Prosper listened to her chest, her heart thumping wildly, her eyes blackened in bursts, and she tried to pull up a smile, but tears raged down her face as she mumbled:

“I don’t know what’s wrong with this palace ………”

………..

Late night, south of the border.

On the outskirts of the 100,000 Mountains, there is a high mountain called “Clear Wind Cliff”.

The full moon was high in the sky, densely packed figures were busy under the bright moonlight, there were those with the form of human in appearance, those with human form but possessing beast-like features, and those that were purely in the form of beasts.

What they all have in common – porters.

Thousands of demon clansmen were throwing living things into a large pit, and these living things contained all kinds of living beings.

They are either dying or unconscious, unaware of their impending fate.

High in the sky, Luo Yu Heng had his feet on a flying sword, Xu Qi An was stepping on a Taiping sword, and Bai Ji was hanging on his shoulders.

“A grand, bloody sacrifice.”

Xu Qi’an looked down and spoke in a deep voice.

These beings were collected for the purpose of priming the limbs of Shinshu to regain their strength.

Shenshu had been sealed for five hundred years and his qi and blood had failed, which could not be recovered by just exhaling and practicing. In order to recover the power of the Transcendent Realm, one would necessarily have to ingest power of the same level.

In Xu Qi’an’s opinion, it is consistent with the conservation of energy.

Transcendent Realm blood pills were too rare, so it was only a matter of letting quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.

“What, the chivalrous Xu Yinluo can’t bear to watch the living beings underneath lose their lives for nothing?”

Luo Yu Heng smiled and flirted like an immodest demoness.

Xu Qi’an didn’t answer positively, but instead lamented:

“With the king, there is nothing to say about sealing the marquis, a general’s success is ten thousand bones.”

That’s when he responded:

“People know how to adapt and are bound to make trade-offs. Blindly following a certain principle is not for the wise.”

Luo Yu Heng smiled and raised her hand, her wide sleeve slipped down, revealing her snow-white white wrist and white jade-like small hand, and touched his brain:

“You were never pedantic.”

As he was talking, there was a loud rattling in the jungle below, and trees were falling in pieces.

From Xu Qi’an’s perspective, he could directly see a huge black-scaled giant snake slowly crawling, rolling down the trees along the way.

“Sizzle …….”

The giant serpent raised its head and spat its mail toward the full moon in the sky.

“It’s Protector Snake, Protector Snake is here.”

“The Snake Protector’s body is as huge as ever, no, isn’t it bigger again?”

The demon clansmen at the bottom were talking.

The snake’s abdomen wriggled and raised a ball, which slowly moved upward, and when it reached the snake’s throat, it was spat out with a “poof”.

It was a chakra-covered, gigantic ball of flesh.

“Hostile!”

The clear cries echoed through the night sky.

Two behemoths swept through the night sky, they were a huge crimson bird with a body length of two zhang, with feathers as red as flames, and an eagle with a body length of one zhang and three feet, with feathers that were brown with gold.

Each of the two giant birds grasped an iron cable in their claws, and in the center of the cable was a wooden cage two feet in length, width, and height.

The wooden cages held a motley assortment of animals, both herbivorous and carnivorous.

The two giant birds swept over the group of demons, their claws suddenly loosening and slamming down the huge cage.

The “snake guardian” flicked his long tail and easily wrapped it around the wooden cage, setting it down securely.

Immediately afterward, a long whistling sound echoed under the moonlit night, and a giant dog with a body length of three feet darted in, its limbs stepping into the air as if it were walking on the ground.

Through the chattering of the group of demons underneath, Xu Qi’an knew that this was the Canine Protector of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

In the next hour, the Demon Race Protectors chalked up eighteen, all of whom were Fourth Grade Demons.

The living creatures in the big pit also piled higher and higher.

“As far as the demonic mouth of the Demon Race is concerned, the percentage of strong people is very good ah, and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom must have more than eighteen Fourth Grade Great Demons, the Night Ji just didn’t come, there must be other Fourth Grade Demons acting elsewhere ……….”

For the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, which had been lurking for five hundred years, lying in wait, to have a force of this size, Xu Qi’an was not surprised at all.

“It’s a pity that the only Transcendent Masters are the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox and a bear.”

He said regretfully.

The number of Transcendent Powers is too rare.

At the peak of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the number of Transcendent Realm Great Demons was second only to the Buddhist Sect, and even the Great Fathers were somewhat inferior.

After all, the Southern Demon symbolized the orthodoxy of the Demon Race and gathered the entire Demon Race’s Qi.

And the northern demon race was far worse.

At that moment, he heard a small demon at the bottom call out:

“Elder Kiyohime.”

Xu Qi’an immediately followed the sound and looked at the top of the Qingfeng Cliff, standing a tall woman wearing a blue dress, her face covered with a silk scarf, a pair of fox charming eyes looking down on the group of demons below.

When did she appear to have a natural aptitude similar to the Dark Compass Ministry’s sneaking? Xu Qi’an heard Bai Ji cry out in surprise:

“Yah, Kiyohime-san.”

Almost forgot, this little guy is also a hallowed Bai Ji elder ……….. Xu Qi’an asked:

“This is your sister with the Night Hime?”

Baiji nodded vigorously:

“I haven’t seen Sister Qing Ji for a long time, and Sister Qing Ji’s cooking is delicious.”

How many sisters do you really have ………. Xu Qi’an tried:

“Is she pretty?”

Without waiting for Bai Ji to reply, Xu Bai Whorl stated the facts with a serious face:

“No more beautiful than the State Master.”

Luo Yu Heng nodded in satisfaction and withdrew the sword that was on his neck.

The lightly veiled young woman, overlooking the group of demons below, said in a loud voice:

“Please, Your Majesty!”

The voice texture is clear, not flirty or sweet, clean and clear as a silver bell.

“Please, Your Majesty!”

All the demon clans present chanted, their voices converging into a sea tide.

“Dingling ……..”

The crisp copper bell rang in the ears of every demon race member, as well as in the ears of Xu Qi’an and Luo Yuheng.

At that moment, the cool, full moon seemed to dim for a moment, as if covered by something.

Nine tailed sky fox is here ……….. Xu Qi’an’s heart stirred as he looked sideways at the full moon.

The Fox Clan was known for their beauty, and all of them were top-notch beauties.

The only nine-tailed fox in the continent of Kyushu, how will she be born?

……….

PS: The word count is a little low, so I’ll make it up in the next chapter.

Note 1: The Empress has been upgraded to Empress Dowager, and the last chapter was written incorrectly.
