Who is the master?
he's ever said in my mind.The blood curse on his chest, the mandala flower, the insignia under his neck, and the speck of cinnabar in his palm... these are all marks he left on me, etched into my bone...Little Ni rushed back into the courtyard with a low growl. I heard a woman's trembling voice: "Don't come any closer! Or...don't blame me for shaking!"
This sound——
I almost died of anger!
Xi Lingzhou!
What on earth does this little witch want to do!
At first, I wanted things from Jiang Qiyun, now he even dares to collude with the Yin Marshal to take hostages!
The talisman Jiang Qiyun left behind was a protective spell to ward off evil and demons, but unexpectedly it was Xi Lingzhou, this "person", who scaled the walls and got in!
Xi Lingzhou quickly retreated under the menacing growl of Xiao Ni, holding a three-pronged thorn in her hand. The sharp end was pointed directly at You Nan, who she held in her arms.
Yu Nan was obviously taken by force - he wasn't even wearing any clothes, just a thin cotton jacket.
Grandma is quite old, she can handle some minor issues, but against a young person's snatching, where could she possibly protect two people!
On such a cold day, Younan is wearing a tight little jacket and being kidnapped by Xi Lingzhou, this little witch. I'm heartbroken to the point of bleeding.
"Xi Linzhou..." I was so angry my chest heaved, gritting my teeth as I reminded him, "You have such guts... Don't you know who this child belongs to!"
Xi Lingzhou's condition was off. She was stimulated by the yin qi swamp on the ground, causing her whole body to swell and itch from an allergic reaction. But there was no previous ferocity in her eyes, only palpable fear and panic.
What's going on My eyebrow twitched.
Although she is brave, she wouldn't dare to do something like this!
If even a hair on these two children is harmed, let alone the punishment of celestial beings and gods, the Mu family and the Shen family alone would make her pay dearly!
"Mu, Mu Xiaoqiao...you, you quickly hand over the fox head!" she stammered. "That fox head was originally promised to me! Give it to me quickly!"
Fox head
How important is that fox head to this point
"Xi Linzhou, what you've done... is this your own audacity, or is it the fox spirit inside your master, Ma Lao Tai's, body!" I asked in a low voice.
Xi Linzhou's mouth twitched, revealing a knowing smile—a smile that appeared on her face more horrifying than crying.
She took a step back, retreating to the side of the beautiful woman, and said in a slightly rushed tone, "Master Yue, I have captured the hostage—"
"Slap!" A crisp sound of a slap echoed.
The female general, who Xi Linzhou called "Master Yue," slapped her across the face, stunning her.
"What a pathetic excuse for a person! I thought you were going to find the fox spirit, but since you couldn't, you resorted to taking a child hostage" she scolded coldly.
I quickly calculated in my mind, this Yin Shuais a person from the underworld. Even if Fu Ling Mingwang, the unique "old King" of the entire world, had ulterior motives, claimed his territory, and acted with hypocrisy, he was ultimately still within the underworld and would have some fear of Jiang Qiyun.
Jiang Qiyun has now gone to the Purple Micro Palace in the Ninth Heaven, that powerful figure in the underworld is...
"A fox-headed one, worthy of you committing such a treasonous act" I looked at that female general.
Her face emerged from the heavy darkness. She was a young woman, with eyebrows like distant mountains and delicate features on her oval face. She wasn't the kind of ghastly, pale ghost one might expect.
She glanced at Xi Linzhou, her eyes filled with blame. She probably didn't want to make a big mess either.
Who knew that Xi Lingzhou would risk his life to get the fox's head, even daring to provoke both the Mu Shen and the two families, and even offending the revered gods!
Given her expression, she must have been given a death order by the fox spirit inside Old Mrs. Ma!
“ …The fox head is on me, it safely entrusted the child to me, I will give the fox head to you.” I stared at that Yin Marshal.
She raised an eyebrow and replied, "Fine. I didn't expect this fool to actually kidnap a child... Hmph, the fox demon head is meaningless to you... Just bring out the fox demon head first!"
So, are you afraid I'll deceive her
I pulled the fox head out of the space inside the sandalwood box.
It was previously kept inside for the mother fox spirit to cultivate herself. Now that the mother fox spirit has entered Qi Ke Xin's body, she is acting as if she confessed, got imprisoned, and died mysteriously, so it's not in the box anymore.
When this fox head appeared, Xi Lingzhou was almost moved to tears.
I wonder how her master tortured her! She used to be like a porcupine, but now her master easily reversed the spines on her body, sticking them all back into her! He must have used some very powerful methods.
Grandma cursed anxiously at the door, “You bunch of heartless devils! If my child gets hurt or catches a cold, you won’t live to see the sun rise! You'll be skinned alive for taking our children hostage! You are scum, worse than dirt – completely rotten!”
Feet festering, head covered in sores
I looked at Xi Linzhou's red rash, huh, she really fits this saying.
"Bring me the child first, or you won't get anything."
That Master Yue looked at Xi Lingzhou, his tone laced with a hint of disgust as he said, “Little monster, go! Exchange the child for the fox head! Be careful, if anything happens to the child, I'll take your life first!”
She gritted her teeth and whispered in Xi Lingzhou's ear.
Xi Linzhou, under the dual pressure from her master and this month's senior uncle, trembled and looked flustered and at a loss.
"Shh..." she whispered quickly in Xi Linzhou's ear.
Humph… Trying to scheme against me, are you
I silently recite the Bao-gao in my heart.
Xi Lingzhou walked over, holding You Nan in both hands. Her hands trembled slightly because of her nervousness and fear.
I stared coldly at her: "Xi Linzhou, be careful. If this child falls once, you won't be able to leave this alley with all your limbs intact!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Mu Xia Qiao! If you had given me the fox head earlier, I wouldn't have been forced to this point! It's all your fault for being greedy and taking things by force! We agreed that the fox head was mine! You actually snatched it away!"
I shook my head. "Xi Linzhou, let's be reasonable. This fox head belongs to someone. If it were a skull without an owner, you could take it, but I wouldn't have given you that sheep skull, would I"
"But, do you want to kill for treasure I'm sorry, I can't help you with such a wicked deed!"
"You—" The three-pronged spear in her hand was just an inch from You Nan's neck.
I thrust the fox head forward: "…Quickly return my child!"
A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly threw the child into the air, causing us all to look up in alarm!
She reached out and tugged at the fox's head, trying to escape!
At the same time, Master Yue flung his sleeve, and two black silken cords wrapped around my arm to intercept You Nan's hand!
"Little Empress, why not go to Old Wangye's place for a cup of tea I would like to offer you tea and apologize for my previous behavior!" she chuckled.
She still wants to take me hostage and retreat smoothly
I have to catch my child first! Little Ni's teeth are too sharp now, they might hurt the child!
As soon as he uttered the words, a gust of wind whipped up from nowhere.
A white flowing sleeve, with the force of a thousand catties, swooped in and pulled Younan, who was about to fall to the ground, up.
"Tut tut... Who ate a bear's heart and leopard's guts~~ To dare bully the little empress and the little emperor Oh... The little emperor pouted—"ith Mu Wanchen. Even though he knows I'm in his palace, he just looks displeased."Eating vinegar isn't good... ah..." I said seriously, and as soon as the words left my mouth, he forcefully pinched my...
