Ever since learning that the Black Dragon was that woman, Bai Qingnian has been living in fear for the past two days.

“Your Highness, several other princes visited you a couple of days ago, and they have been missing for two days now. You need to come with us to the Grand Palace to explain the situation to the Fox Emperor.”

On this day, a group of fierce-looking demon soldiers broke into his courtyard and immediately pinned him down.

Bai Qingnian was shocked. His half-brothers had disappeared? How could that be? Just two days ago, they had come to cause him trouble.

"How could my half-brothers have disappeared? How come I didn't know?" Bai Qingnian tried to struggle, but his shoulders were held down firmly.

"Your Highness should go and tell the Fox Emperor about this," the demon soldiers said, dragging Bai Qingnian out of the courtyard.

A red palace stands atop a hundred steps, surrounded by blooming red spider lilies, a beauty that is both alluring and dangerous.

Enveloped in mist, Bai Qingnian was escorted by demon soldiers up a hundred steps. As the mist dissipated, the true face of the palace was revealed.

Bai Qingnian dared not struggle and obediently allowed them to escort him into the main hall.

"You are my nineteenth son?" A red figure sat in the main seat.

The middle-aged woman was dressed in a black and red brocade robe. Her face was cold and beautiful, and when she looked at Bai Qingnian, her eyes were filled with coldness, as if she wanted to see through him.

Bai Qingnian knelt in the center of the main hall, not daring to raise her head, and replied in a trembling voice, "Nineteen greets Mother."

Bai Fengfu curled her lips into a cold laugh, then gently raised her hand and pointed, forcing Bai Qingnian to look up and meet her gaze.

"A couple of days ago, your half-brothers disappeared after seeing you. Are you aware of that?"

Bai Qingnian was forced to look at her. The powerful pressure emanating from her made Bai Qingnian extremely uncomfortable, and he could only shake his head with trembling body.

"I don't know"

Bai Fengfu's face darkened, and he slapped Bai Qingnian away. Bai Qingnian's back hit a pillar, and he slid to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth.

"Don't know? Do you think I'm a fool? They bullied you like that all the time, you must have held a grudge and killed them!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingnian's eyes instantly reddened. His mother clearly knew that they were the ones who bullied him, yet she blamed him for the disappearance of his half-brothers.

He couldn't possibly beat them, so how could he possibly have the ability to kill them!

Bai Qingnian gave a self-deprecating laugh, stubbornly looking up at Bai Fengfu, "Mother, how could my meager magic possibly kill my half-brothers? You know they bullied me first..."

Why didn't you seek justice for me first, instead of attacking me without even knowing the facts?

"Are you questioning me?" Bai Fengfu's eyes turned cold.

"I dare not..." Bai Qingnian lowered his head, bloodstains still hanging from the corner of his mouth, looking extremely pitiful.

Shouldn't he still have expectations of his mother? Didn't he realize long ago that his mother disliked him?

That's enough. From now on, his father will be enough for him.

Long Qianling, inside his consciousness, looked at the woman sitting in the main seat, his eyes red with anger.

That old fox is really getting better and better at showing off his power.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Fengfu felt even more disgusted and raised her hand, wanting to get rid of Bai Qingnian just like that.

A good-for-nothing illegitimate son, he's dead, so be it. Anyway, she has plenty of descendants, so one more won't make a difference.

As for those who disappeared, she was just putting on a show to appease the men in the backyard.

If we're talking about valuing her, then she only values ​​her legitimate children.

"Mother!" A pleasant male voice rang out, and soon a red figure appeared in the hall.

Bai Fengfu withdrew her hand, her cold face softening with affection. "Why is Shao Heng here?"

Bai Shaoheng glanced at Bai Qingnian on the ground without showing any emotion, then gave Bai Fengfu a slight bow, "Mother, what did this younger brother do wrong to anger you so much?"

Bai Fengfu glanced at Bai Qingnian with disdain, then smiled at Bai Shaoheng, "It's nothing, he just made a small mistake, so his mother punished him and taught him some manners."

"Someone, take him back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingnian was helped up. He looked up at the scene of motherly love and filial piety and felt only irony.

They are both her sons, yet they are treated so differently. Is it simply because his bloodline is not good?

Bai Qingnian lowered his head in disappointment, letting the demon servant drag him out of the main hall.

When he reached a secluded spot, his body trembled, his eyes closed, and he lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, her body was now under the control of Long Qianling.

Before the two demon slaves dragging him could react, Long Qianling pulled her hands back and then stretched them out forcefully, plunging them into their chests. With a forceful squeeze of her palms, she crushed their beating hearts.

Long Qianling withdrew his hand without changing his expression, raised it to his lips, stuck out his tongue and licked the blood off his fingers, revealing a wicked smile.

What kind of thing is worthy of touching the prey she has set her sights on!

With cold eyes, he looked at the two corpses on the ground. With a flick of his blood-stained hand, they instantly turned to ashes and disappeared.

Long Qianling wiped the blood off his hands with Bai Qingnian's handkerchief, burned the handkerchief with demonic fire, and then turned and walked back.

She was going to avenge the little fox for the slap Bai Fengfu had just delivered!

That damned old fox! How dare he lay a hand on her fox? If he kills the little fox, how will she get revenge on him later?

Long Qianling returned to the main palace without anyone noticing, just as Bai Fengfu had seen Bai Shaoheng off.

At this moment, Bai Fengfu was the only one in the huge palace. Long Qianling raised his foot to go in and beat her up, but then he thought better of it.

If she were exposed now, the old fox would definitely join forces with the other old fogies to strengthen her seal.

That makes her chances of getting out slim.

As Long Qianling was thinking about how to get closer to Bai Fengfu, he saw Bai Shaoheng walk out of the main hall.

Long Qianling only emerged from the shadows after he disappeared around the corner.

At this moment, Long Qianling had changed her appearance and transformed into Bai Shaoheng. She raised her hand and looked him over with satisfaction.

Sure enough, it's easier to swap faces with someone from the same clan. Her transformation was undetectable to anyone except those with higher cultivation levels.

Long Qianling stood there for a while before walking into the hall.

Bai Fengfu looked up and saw that Bai Shaoheng, who had just left, had returned. She asked with some doubt, "Shaoheng, do you still have..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw 'Bai Shaoheng' give her a playful smile, raise his hand, and send a beam of red light hurtling straight toward her face.

Long Qianling had planned to put on a good show of motherly affection with her before taking action against her, but unfortunately she overestimated her patience.

When she saw Bai Fengfu's disgusting face, she couldn't help but take action.

Bai Fengfu raised his hand to block her attack, his face instantly darkening.

"presumptuous"
