Chapter 160 Made a Deal with the Fox Spirit

Before Yun Shu could explain, the pregnant woman walked out from the Xu family's main gate and looked in their direction.

"You Shuqing, what are you doing here?"

Xu Huan's second wife is named Zhuang Hongmei. When she saw You Shuqing, her face turned ugly, and she subconsciously covered her stomach.

Seeing her actions, You Shuqing sneered, "I'm here to find Xu Huan and tell him to get out here."

What do you want with him?

Zhuang Hongmei's expression grew even more displeased. "You can just tell me what's on your mind. He's not home."

Seeing the way she looked at him as if he were protecting some precious treasure, as if she had come to snatch Xu Huan away, You Shuqing couldn't help but find it amusing.

“You’re a heavily pregnant woman, what am I supposed to say to you? If I scare you and cause you to lose your baby, then I’ll feel terrible.”

You Shuqing said indifferently.

Yun Shu said that the child in her belly was long gone, and it was a strange yin fetus.

You Shuqing dared not have too much contact with Zhuang Hongmei. If the Xu family found out the child was missing, they would blame her, and then she would have to pay compensation.

Based on her understanding of this family's character, they were very likely to do such a thing.

After You Shuqing finished speaking, he led Yun Shu towards the Xu family's residence. Xu Huan's mother saw this and went inside to call Xu Huan out.

Upon seeing Xu Huan, Yun Shu frowned, then her eyes turned cold.

"Your daughter's situation is indeed related to him."

Yun Shu whispered in You Shuqing's ear, "Let's go to the Fox Temple first and see what's going on. Ask him where the Fox Temple is located."

"good!"

After You Shuqing finished speaking to Yun Shu, she went directly to ask Xu Huan, "Where did you build the fox temple last time? I want to go and pay my respects."

"What is there to worship?"

When Xu Huan saw You Shuqing, his eyes looked somewhat guilty, and he turned his gaze away, not daring to look at You Shuqing.

He said impatiently, "Anyway, you asked me to build a temple, and I've already done it. Don't bother me anymore."

You Shuqing's daughter was still in the hospital, and she was too lazy to argue with Xu Huan. She just said, "I'll give you 100,000 yuan. Tell me where it is. I'll go and pray for my daughter."

Xu Huan paused for a moment.

His second wife was looking at him and kept giving him meaningful glances.

Xu Huan, thinking about the fox temple, was reluctant to let You Shuqing go and investigate. A few days ago, something strange had happened at his home, and even the fox temple hadn't solved the problem. In the end, he had to find a master who helped him make a deal with the fox spirit to resolve the family's problems.

If You Shuqing found out about the deal he made with the fox spirit, he would definitely cause a huge scene and wouldn't let him off the hook.

However, after Xu Huan and You Shuqing divorced, Xu Huan was left with nothing. In addition, his earning ability was not as good as You Shuqing's. His second wife stopped working when she was pregnant, and now the family is struggling to make ends meet.

This sum of 100,000 was not much to You Shuqing, but it was a large sum of money for him.

Xu Huan then realized that the matter of the fox spirit had already been resolved, so even if You Shuqing went to the fox temple, he probably wouldn't encounter the fox spirit.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally made a decision: "Okay, transfer the money now and I'll take you to pray."

Seeing his expression, You Shuqing laughed sarcastically, "It seems that you're getting worse every day since you left me."

Hearing You Shuqing's sarcasm, a hint of anger flashed in Xu Huan's eyes.

“You, Miss You, have your family's support. How can an ordinary person like me compare to you? If you hadn't insisted on going to pray, I wouldn't have bothered to earn your little bit of money. I don't need it.”

Yun Shu: "..."

This man is such a liar. Judging from his appearance, his family is struggling to make ends meet and is in debt, yet he dares to say such things.

You Shuqing transferred the money and then urged Xu Huan to take her to the Fox Temple.

Yun Shu followed.

When Xu Huan saw that You Shuqing was with such a young and beautiful girl as Yun Shu, he didn't treat Yun Shu as any kind of master at all and took them over without worry.

The Fox Temple stands on a nearby mountain, and Xu Huan's family ancestral graves are also on this mountain.

Before long, we arrived at the Fox Temple.

The Fox Temple is located at the bottom of a small hill. It is small and only knee-high, and at first glance it looks a bit like a local earth god temple.

However, inside the temple, the clay sculpture enshrined is a small fox, and there are some offerings placed in front of the sculpture.

"Right there, I'm leaving."

Xu Huan pointed in the direction of the Fox Temple, then turned around and went down the mountain.

"Xu Huan, don't leave!"

You Shuqing called out to him, "We're not familiar with this area. After I finish my prayers, you'll have to take us back."

Xu Huan's voice drifted over from afar, "You only gave me the money to bring you here, and you didn't say you wanted me to take you back. Go back by yourself!"

"you……!"

You Shuqing was furious. She tried to pull Xu Huan back, but he was so fast that he had already disappeared into the woods.

She clearly harbored resentment towards You Shuqing and deliberately abandoned her and Yun Shu in the mountains, hoping they wouldn't be able to find their way back.

"He definitely did it on purpose! This mountain path is so winding, how are we going to get down? And there's fog up on the mountain!"

You Shuqing was furious, but Yun Shu calmly pulled her back, "It's alright, I know how to get down the mountain. Let's rescue your daughter first."

"What!" Upon hearing about his daughter, You Shuqing stopped chasing after Xu Huan and asked, "Isn't my daughter in the hospital?"

Yun Shu pointed to the fox temple, "I mean her soul. Her soul has left her body and is trapped inside this fox temple."

You Shuqing's face turned pale and then red. "My daughter's soul is imprisoned here, but the little fox's soul is inside her body. Is this an attempt to let the fox possess a human body?"

"right."

Yun Shu nodded.

You Shuqing angrily said, "This fox spirit is too evil! We even built a temple for her, and she still wants to harm my daughter!"

Yun Shu looked at the fox temple and frowned. "Foxes that cultivate the Tao are generally of good character. Setting up a fox temple to worship them would resolve the karmic debt. They shouldn't do such a thing."

She crouched down and took out the little fox sculpture from the fox temple; You Shuqing's daughter was trapped inside the little fox sculpture.

Just as Yun Shu was about to smash the sculpture, a commotion came from the bushes not far away, as if some animal was running over quickly, accompanied by a roar.

"roar!"

You Shuqing was startled and looked at the bushes in horror. "Wh...what is that? Yun Shu, could there be a tiger here? I think I heard a howl."

"no."

Yun Shu calmly said, "It's a fox imitating a tiger's roar, trying to scare us away."

She also looked towards the bushes. "Come out, stop hiding, I see you."

A furry head popped out of the bushes, and a red fox ran out, its bright red fur shining like flames as it ran.

It transformed into a blur and instantly appeared beside Yun Shu, its sharp claws reaching out to scratch at her.

"lay down!"

At the same time, a warning sound rang out.
