Lan Hua looked embarrassed; it always sounded a bit strange for her to say "birds of a feather" like that.

"So, you're at least three hundred years old?"

The white fox said with an arrogant expression, "Not bad, I'm old enough to be your ancestor!"

Lan Hua was speechless. This white fox was quite assertive. Wasn't she afraid he would find someone to take her in?

"Did you find a way to save your father when you went to the Demon-Suppressing Tower today?"

The white fox said with a hint of resentment, "No, that Demon-Suppressing Tower is too powerful; I can't get in!"

Lan Hua thought to herself, "Of course." "Then how is your father?"

"This is very bad. When he was arrested, he was still at the Dan Shen Realm, but now he has fallen to the Dan Xia Realm!"

"In a few decades, I'm afraid even the Danxia Realm won't be able to be preserved!"

Lan Hua felt it was a pity. Cultivation was much more difficult for demon beasts than for humans, and it was indeed pitiful that they ended up like this.

He placed the bow on the table and sat down.

"My name is Lan Hua, what's yours?"

"Bai Yunyun!"

Lan Hua asked curiously, "How was your father captured?"

"That was a long time ago!"

It turns out that when Bai Yunyun and her father went down the mountain to travel, they were ambushed by several powerful figures when they passed through the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the Demon Suppression Tower had just been built and urgently needed a demon beast at the Core Formation Realm to support it and ensure its operation.

Bai Yunyun's father was so unlucky that he became the first demon beast imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Fortunately, Bai Yunyun escaped safely under her father's protection and was not captured.

In recent years, besides diligently cultivating her skills, Bai Yunyun has stayed near the capital, waiting for an opportunity to rescue her father from the tower.

Lan Hua was somewhat moved and looked at Bai Yunyun, "I sympathize with your situation, but you'd better not act rashly. If the commander finds out, you'll also have to go into the Demon Suppression Tower!"

Suddenly, a red light flashed in Bai Yunyun's eyes, and Lan Hua immediately felt a little confused, his eyes filled with the sight of the beautiful woman.

Then, it was as if the things in front of me began to become ethereal and indistinct.

Lan Hua shook her head to clear her mind, quickly grabbed the Cloud Piercing Bow, condensed an invisible arrow of light, and shot it at the white fox.

boom!

The white fox dodged with a swift movement, and an invisible arrow of light shot into the Buddha, leaving a clear hole.

"Bewitching spell? You actually took advantage of the situation to ambush me!"

Bai Yunyun was taken aback. "You're alright? Why was my mind-controlling technique ineffective against you?"

Over the past three hundred years, Bai Yunyun has been able to escape danger time and again mainly because of her bewitching technique, which has never failed her.

Bewitching magic is an innate ability of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, something they are born with, and female foxes are particularly skilled at it.

The key to bewitching magic lies in the caster's eyes.

Once outsiders see that red light, they will be unable to resist it, fall into a dreamlike state, and be completely manipulated.

Lan Hua thought to himself how close he had come to disaster. If he hadn't cultivated the art of clairvoyance, which gave him a certain immunity to other people's gazes, he would definitely have been tricked.

"Hmph, if I didn't have a little skill, I would have fallen for your trick by now!"

Bai Yunyun said coquettishly, "You rascal! I almost hooked you!"

She intended to confuse Lan Hua and then let Lan Hua find a way to open the Demon-Suppressing Tower so that her father could escape his suffering.

Lan Hua snorted, "It seems I'll have to subdue you today and lock you up in the Demon Suppression Tower as well!"

Just as he was about to fire another arrow, Bai Yunyun cried out, "Wait!"

Lan Hua snorted, "You stinky fox, what are you up to now?"

Bai Yunyun said, "First of all, I don't smell bad. Also, I'd like to remind you that I'm not slutty either!"

Lan Hua found it somewhat amusing; this white fox didn't seem to be quite authentic.

"I want to make a deal with you. If you help me rescue my father, I can do a few things for you. What do you say?"

Lan Hua said in a deep voice, "To save your father, you offended the entire Demon Suppression Division, and even the Great Zhou Dynasty, and were hunted down by them. Do you think it was worth it?"

"Besides, your fox clan is cunning by nature, and the Nine-Tailed Fox lineage is no exception. What if you turn your back on me after using me? I would be at a huge loss!"

Bai Yunyun asked, "How can I gain your trust?"

"Hmph! Your fox clan is not worth trusting at all!"

Bai Yunyun seemed taken aback by Lan Hua's words, and after a long while, she said, "I can sign a life-and-death contract with you!"

Lan Hua had also learned about this life-and-death contract; it was a contract unique to demonic beasts.

Any demon beast that has made a contract with a human will have its soul obliterated if it harbors any disloyalty or plots against them.

Therefore, this contract is the most cruel and dangerous kind of contract for demonic beasts.

Lan Hua was taken aback, wondering why Bai Yunyun was in such a hurry to sign a life-and-death contract; she could have waited another hundred years.

For her, she had already waited three hundred years, so what difference would waiting another hundred years make?

Lan Hua put away her bow and smiled, "Let's talk about this later. I'll go and find out how to open the ninth level of the Demon Suppression Tower first."

Bai Yunyun nodded. "I'll wait for you. You can come find me at this temple if you need anything!"

Lan Hua left the dilapidated temple and returned to the Demon Suppression Division.

At this time, the sky in the east was already turning a pale white.

Lan Hua planned to go back to sleep, but in the corridor, she saw Shen Yuyan, who had gotten up early.

"So early, Miss Yu Yan!"

Shen Yuyan yawned, "Always cooped up in the Demon Suppression Division, I'm getting sick from all this!"

Lan Hua smiled slightly and pulled Shen Yuyan aside.

"Miss Yuyan, do you know how the ninth level of the Demon Suppression Tower was opened?"

Shen Yuyan was startled. "Lanhua, what are you trying to do? Are you going to cause trouble again?"

Lan Hua shook her head vigorously, "You're overthinking it, I was just asking!"

Shen Yuyan said, "When the Demon Suppression Tower was cleared out a while ago, you saw it yourself. Many people in the department know how to open the tower below the seventh floor!"

"Only the eighth and ninth floors are known to the commander and deputy commander!"

Lan Hua was speechless. Finding the commander was impossible, and the deputy commander had already been killed by him. It seemed there was no hope.

Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "However, I also know that!"

Lan Hua's eyes widened. "Could it be that Long Yifei intends to groom you as the next commander?"

Shen Yuyan shook her head and smiled mischievously, "No, I overheard it by accident!"

She suddenly whispered, "If you ever want to do something big, remember to take me with you!"

After saying that, Shen Yuyan told Lan Hua how to open the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Lan Hua saved Shen Yuyan twice, and as a result, she owed her two huge favors.

Therefore, in Shen Yuyan's opinion, it wouldn't hurt to tell Lan Hua, since she would leave the Demon Suppression Division sooner or later anyway.

Lan Hua was taking a nap when a man entered the Demon Suppression Bureau. He was dressed as a palace eunuch and wanted to summon Lan Hua to the palace.

"Who would summon me to the palace?" Lan Hua asked sleepily, her face full of suspicion.

"Since you've come to me, I'll brave even the tiger's den!"

Lan Hua followed the little eunuch and wandered around the capital for a long time before finally arriving at a vast palace garden.

"Hmm? This isn't the palace!" Lan Hua said in a deep voice.

"How could I kill you in the palace!" a shrill voice rang out.
