Jing Yi trusted Fang Qingdai, while the red fox's eyes sparkled.

How did she break free from such powerful mind control in an instant?

Was she naturally powerful, or did she utilize the tree spirit's abilities?

Even if it's through the tree spirit's power, the fact that the tree spirit is willing to stand up for her means that the tree spirit truly only likes her.

The red fox was unaware that at that moment, the way it looked at Fang Qingdai was like that of a naive young girl who had just fallen in love and met her sweetheart, filled with a mixture of passion and adoration.

Fang Qingdai manipulated the space to chase back, intending to let the red fox sense whether it was still being monitored by that thing outside, so as to judge the situation of that thing.

To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw the red fox looking at him with a lovesick expression, as if it were drunk.

It startled her!

Only then did she take a moment to sense the red fox's emotions. After feeling that the red fox had developed a bit more admiration for her, Fang Qingdai, though completely bewildered and unaware of the changes in its feelings, immediately seized the opportunity!

"Red Fox, would you be willing to form a permanent pact with me, become my partner, and help me in battle? We will forge this pact with our lives, and never betray each other!"

The red fox was satisfied and cleared its head for a moment. Just as it was about to shake its head to refuse, it stopped halfway with its head tilted to the side!

Fang Qingdai was unaware that she had just received a gift from the tree spirit and that the tree spirit's power still lingered in her body.

That's not all. The most crucial point is that this time is different from the past. This time, when the tree spirit dealt with that thing, the energy fluctuations were huge, and it had an undeniable divinity compared to the past!

The energy fluctuations had not yet dissipated and were still entangled in Fang Qingdai's consciousness. With a thought, the residual energy of the paulownia wood emerged along with her contract, causing the red fox to tremble and waver in its refusal!

Should I really refuse? She's the woman the tree spirit has chosen!

There is definitely some special bond between her and the tree spirit. After making a contract with her, she and it become one, which means that it also has a special bond with the tree spirit!

It tried for a long time but could not obtain a gift from the tree spirit like Fang Qingdai did.

Perhaps it's because I didn't form a bond with the tree spirit?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the red fox's eyes lit up!

"Eek!" A loud fox cry rang out, and it accepted Fang Qingdai's contract!

With the phoenix as witness and the parasol tree as proof, both sides have forged a pact with their lives, vowing never to betray each other!

Fang Qingdai opened her eyes, her joy almost overflowing. She looked at Jing Yi and couldn't help but express her delight: "It has made a contract with me!"

Jing Yi slowly came to his senses, looked at the man and the fox, and said, "Congratulations!"

No one knew the shock Jing Yi felt inside!

When Fang Qingdai made a pact with the red fox, he watched from the sidelines and felt the entire space instantly boil over, the rich vitality making his soul tremble!

The moment the contract was reached, he even faintly heard a majestic, mysterious, and melodious cry.

He didn't know what made the sound, but the overwhelming sense of pressure that made his soul tremble and almost made him want to kneel down and submit made him realize that what he had just experienced was definitely not an illusion!

He once again directly experienced the magic of Fang Qingdai's space!

But he didn't feel any greed; instead, all sorts of complex emotions uncontrollably arose within him.

There was envy, there was inferiority, there was disappointment, and there were also blessings.

After the contract was signed, Fang Qingdai sent the red fox to investigate the situation outside the space.

The red fox guessed correctly. After forming a contract with her, the red fox felt an intimate connection with this space. It could even sense the barrier exit of the space and cover the barrier with more precision and with very little energy!

This time, when it's needed to block that thing, it can easily last for a long time!

It probed the space with its spiritual power and carefully examined it before giving feedback to Fang Qingdai.

Upon learning that the thing was no longer capable of comprehensive monitoring, Fang Qingdai was overjoyed!

She was right; that thing had been severely damaged by the paulownia tree!

She manipulated space to quickly return to the palace, heading straight for the room where the memorial tablets had been enshrined.

She believed her hypothesis and always wanted to find something to verify it.

Originally, Fang Qingdai could only search with her naked eyes, but now that she and the red fox are of one mind, the red fox knows what Fang Qingdai wants to find and takes the initiative to extend its spiritual power, covering the entire palace inch by inch!

Soon, the red fox found the thing Fang Qingdai had described amidst the layers upon layers of intertwined vines and mutated plant webs.

A perfectly square stone?

"Well done, Xiao Hong!"

The red fox's tail instantly exploded into an umbrella shape, and it looked at Fang Qingdai with an expression of disbelief and pain.

Fang Qingdai paused for a moment: "You don't want to be called Xiao Hong?"

She named the cat and Xiaoteng without thinking, and neither Xiaoteng nor the cat objected.

This is the first time she's faced such strong opposition when naming someone!

But Fang Qingdai couldn't care less about the red fox's feelings right now; it had gone on strike. Fang Qingdai could only summon Xiao Teng: "Xiao Teng, go and drag that thing in!"

She manipulated the small vines to retrieve the jade seal from the vine net, while simultaneously creating a barrier space with a wave of her hand.

As soon as Xiao Teng pulls the jade seal in, she immediately uses her spatial dimension to trap the supplies!

If, as she suspected, the Imperial Seal is the thing that can control people's minds, then locking it in with a spatial barrier from all sides is the safest option!

A small vine peeked out from the space; it was also a mutated plant, and its appearance did not provoke any resistance from the other mutated plants.

The vine easily reached the dusty object, then rolled it up and pulled it into space.

Just as Fang Qingdai's eyes lit up, an unexpected event occurred!

The originally dull and unremarkable jade seal suddenly flashed with light, and the dazzling golden light illuminated the dark hall as bright as day!

Fang Qingdai was blinded and couldn't see the situation in the hall, but she sensed Xiao Teng's pain in her mind!

Fang Qingdai was startled and quickly summoned Xiao Teng back.

"Never mind it for now, let's retreat!"

The little vine quickly retracted into the space, and Fang Qingdai then saw that the front half of the little vine's body that had been extended had been burned and carbonized, and even the burning without sparks was still spreading down its body!

But its carbonized vine still managed to pull the jade seal inside!

Fang Qingdai acted faster than she thought, immediately using the barrier space to lock the jade seal. Just in case, Fang Qingdai also threw that barrier space under the paulownia tree!

The paulownia tree is not afraid of burning, nor is it afraid of psychological attacks.

Since the imperial seal cannot control external objects, it cannot deal with the paulownia wood. Placing it under the paulownia wood to let the wood suppress it is the most suitable solution.

After resolving the threat of the imperial seal in two seconds, Fang Qingdai immediately grabbed the section of Xiao Teng's body that hadn't been burned yet and dragged it into the stream!

The continuous pain emanating from Xiao Teng made Fang Qingdai's heart tremble. She never expected that the Jade Seal could use such methods in addition to mind control!

Jing Yi quickly helped, and the two of them pulled the little vine into the stream, watching it intently to see if the burning sensation on its body would continue to spread...
