After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 18: Poor Fox Demon
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuheng's expression suddenly darkened and his eyes became as gloomy as water.
He didn't believe that Liu Yayi had the guts to do such a thing, but it was very likely that bastard Qiu Mingxuan was the one who did it.
But Liu Yayi can't escape the connection either.
"I think so. No one would do such a stupid thing except my cousin."
Huo Lingchuan sneered.
He admitted that he didn't achieve much, but at least he wouldn't cause trouble for his family.
But my cousin is simply a brainless person.
Qiu Mingxuan has been flirting with other women all year round, and she doesn't dare to say a word except asking the old man for support every time.
Not only that, every time Qiu Mingxuan tried to coax her, she wouldn't know her last name and would instead blame the old man for meddling in her affairs. There were several times when she almost gave the old man a heart attack.
The Liu family is a noble family after all, but I don’t know how they raised such a stupid daughter.
Huo Lingchuan was indignant and didn't care whether Liu Yayi was his elder or not. He revealed all the good things that Liu Yayi had done.
Huo Qinghuang was speechless after hearing this.
This brainless woman is really weird. She is even worse than the little demon in the demon clan who has just awakened to intelligence.
At least the little demons know what is right and wrong and will not offend the backers behind them, otherwise they will die without knowing how.
"Without any evidence, I'm afraid she won't admit it. Is there any way to make her confess?"
Huo Yuheng took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and continued to ask.
“No need for a handle.”
Huo Qinghuang said calmly: "The poisonous insect is dead, and the person who put the poison on the person will definitely suffer a backlash. You just need to pay attention to whether anyone around you suddenly gets sick or dies suddenly, and you will know for sure."
Hearing this, the Huo family's father and son suddenly understood.
That’s right, if the poisonous insect is destroyed, the person who put the poison on the person will definitely not have a good ending.
But everything is unknown now, and we can’t just focus on Liu Yayi’s family in case we miss the real murderer.
"So the plots in the novel are all true. So, are there really people in this world who have become immortals?"
Huo Lingchuan murmured.
"What are you dreaming about?"
Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes and sneered mercilessly: "This world is devoid of spiritual energy, how can you become an immortal? At most, you can only cultivate some true energy and strengthen your body."
"So that's how it is."
Huo Lingchuan's face became visibly depressed; his dream of cultivation was completely shattered.
Huh? That's not right.
How did this girl practice without any spiritual energy?
He looked at Huo Qinghuang suddenly, and his eyes almost suggested that the other party was fooling him.
Huo Qinghuang was too lazy to pay attention to him, but walked straight to the painting of the lady and said calmly: "Do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want me to invite you out?"
Hearing this, the faces of the Huo family's father and son suddenly changed, and they all took a few steps back.
Huo Lingchuan took a step forward and rushed directly behind Huo Qinghuang. He stuck his head out and stared at the painting on the wall with a vigilant look on his face.
After waiting for a long time, the painting of the lady did not react at all, as if it was just an ordinary painting, hanging quietly on the wall.
"Qing Huang, you are not mistaken, are you?"
Although Huo Yuheng knew that his daughter had some abilities and was different from ordinary people, she was still young after all, and it was possible that he was wrong.
"I've said before, there is nothing in this world that can hide from my discerning eyes."
Huo Qinghuang said lightly.
Just as he finished speaking, a whirlwind suddenly blew up in the room, making the scrolls rustle.
Instantly, a chilly aura quickly spread in the room, enveloping several people. The cold air penetrated into their bones, making them shiver uncontrollably.
Huo Lingjun had just been tortured by the poisonous insect and his body was still weak. He couldn't help but shiver. His face was as pale as paper and he couldn't even speak.
“It’s so cold!”
Huo Lingchuan folded his arms and huddled behind Huo Qinghuang, his face showing fear. He trembled and said, "Could there really be a ghost?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and shrill voice sounded, as if it came from the underworld, or as if it was floating from a distance.
"Hahaha, you little girl are so arrogant. You think you have a little vision and dare to offend me. Today, I will let you have a taste of life worse than death!"
As the sound rang out, the scroll suddenly shook, as if a strong wind had been blown up.
A white shadow leaped out from the scroll like a ghost and rushed straight towards Huo Qinghuang!
"careful!"
Huo Yuheng was horrified and anxious, sweating coldly, and wanted to rush forward to stand in front of Huo Qinghuang.
However, at this moment, his feet felt like they were filled with lead. Not only could he rush over, he even had difficulty moving.
"Humph! You don't know how to live or die!"
Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly, raised his hand and slapped the white shadow.
"Bang!"
The white shadow hit her palm like hitting a hard stone wall.
Then, it flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
“Plop!”
The white shadow fell to the ground, making a dull sound like a heavy object hitting the floor.
Everyone looked closely and took a deep breath.
I saw a white fox lying on the ground, spitting blood, which was stained on its hair. It looked extremely miserable.
Obviously it has been hit hard.
"This, this thing is hidden in that painting?!"
Huo Yuheng's eyes widened, he could not believe what he saw. After he came to his senses, his blood rushed to his head, he rushed over and kicked the white fox hard in the stomach several times.
"It was you, a bastard, who killed my wife. I'm going to beat you to death!"
His movements were so fast that no one could react and the white fox was howling from being kicked by him.
The Huo Lingjun brothers were dumbfounded.
When did the old man become so fierce?
This white fox can speak human language, and it obviously has some magical powers. We can't let it hurt the old man.
After the two brothers reacted, they hurried forward to hold Huo Yuheng back.
Then, Huo Lingjun and Huo Lingchuan looked at each other, raised their fists, and beat the white fox violently.
"Damn you humans, you dare to attack me! When I get away, I'll make sure you're in trouble!"
The white fox had already been injured by Huo Qinghuang's palm strike, and its internal organs were severely damaged. Now it had no ability to fight back. Being beaten by two young and strong men, it felt extremely aggrieved and could only make verbal threats with gritted teeth.
"Damn it! It's you, the beast, who caused my mother to lie in bed for eighteen years. I must kill you today!"
Huo Lingchuan punched like the wind and kept shouting.
Don't be fooled by his young appearance. In fact, this guy has loved martial arts since he was a child. He learned some kung fu from his family bodyguard. Now he started fighting and directly knocked the white fox unconscious.
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched, and he sighed in his heart, what a pitiful fox demon.
However, this white fox has been practicing for hundreds of years, and it may have a backup plan, so it is not so easy to kill it.
She was about to open her mouth to remind him, when she saw Huo Lingchuan grab the chair next to him and smash it down on the white fox: "If I don't kill you today, my Huo family will never have peace. Come and die!"
The white fox was also a ruthless character. Seeing that he would be beaten to death if he didn't fight back, he suddenly became ferocious. He opened his mouth and spit out a black mist, spraying it towards Huo Lingchuan and Huo Lingjun.
