Chapter 17 My Wife is a Vixen 17

Chizuru's longsword transformed into countless other swords, and the demon hunters were clearly being overwhelmed by these lesser demons.

Besides the fox, other demons also came out of the main barrier, clamoring for revenge.

Seeing that her junior brothers were struggling more and more, and some of them even collapsed, Qianhe looked up and shouted "Master!"

If this continues, they'll probably be torn to shreds by these demons.

As A-Yuan observed the battle, whenever a lesser demon was about to be defeated by the exorcist, she would use magic to knock the exorcist's weapon away or help the lesser demon.

"Who?" He was about to kill the rat demon when someone used a hidden weapon.

"Watch out, there are hidden weapons."

Chizuru looked around with her sword in hand and finally spotted A-Yuan and Ji Huaizhi not far away. The woman looked like a demon, but the man next to her, dressed in dark coarse linen clothes, looked like a human.

With both hands outstretched, the sword twirled in mid-air before thrusting straight toward A-Yuan's face.

A Yuan used her magic to stop the sword in mid-air, and with a "clang!" sound, the sword was flung away again.

"Your Highness," a fox servant called out worriedly.

If the young prince gets injured, the eldest prince will definitely be furious.

Upon hearing the address "Young Prince," Chizuru caught her sword and flew off to seize the demon.

Seeing this, A-Yuan raised her hands in an attack stance: "Husband, wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took off, she was grabbed around the waist, turned around in mid-air, and stood in the same spot again.

A-Yuan, leaning against the rough branch, turned to look. Her husband had already caught the white blade with his bare hands. Chizuru stared in surprise at the red-eyed man before her, her tone filled with astonishment:

"Are you Ji Huaizhi? The man who married a demon?"

Ji Huaizhi remained silent, but what he received in return was a heavy blow.

Chizuru's sword spun rapidly in the air before striking the ground with a clang.

Qing Shuang frowned upon noticing the disciples' condition: "You demons are indeed despicable."

"Hmph." Ah Ning found it laughable: "You think you're not despicable?"

The moment the magic was unleashed, Qing Shuang vanished from the spot, and A Ning's attack missed its mark. Turning her head, she saw that the person had already gone down to his disciple's side.

The aura emanating from Qing Shuang caused the other lesser demons to retreat.

Only Ji Huaizhi stood still, motionless.

"Master?" Chizuru lay on the ground, clutching her chest. "He killed Mumu."

Qing Shuang didn't care who killed Wu Mou.

He stared at Ji Huaizhi like that, his concern being for the child in A Ning's belly and the man hiding behind A Ning.

A Ning appeared next to Ji Huaizhi, and the two of them looked like a perfect couple.

That's him.

Without a second thought, Qing Shuang launched an attack. When Qing Shuang made his move, Ji Huaizhi's aura changed, and he quickly retaliated after receiving Qing Shuang's attack.

Both the demon and the exorcist suffered heavy losses.

They stared without blinking at the white-haired man and the red-eyed man, who seemed to want to kill each other.

"Husband." A-Yuan jumped down and was terrified.

"Don't go, you're too easy to get accidentally hurt." He wanted to go up and help, but A Ning stopped him. Then he saw her watching the two fight: "Your man is quite good at fighting after he transforms."

Ji Huaizhi was very fast, and he was able to dodge every attack from Qing Shuang.

Because she couldn't hit anyone, Qing Shuang's aura became increasingly unstable. Fallen leaves from the forest were scattered everywhere. Suddenly, many leaves appeared in front of her. After scattering them with one blow, she didn't expect to be attacked by Ji Huaizhi.

With a "bang".

Several large trees in the woods suddenly collapsed, and many lesser demons were frightened and fled in all directions.

Because she couldn't see anyone, A-Yuan shouted "Husband!"

After all the leaves had fallen, the two people could be clearly seen. A-Yuan quickly flew to Ji Huaizhi's side, with A-Ning following closely behind.

"Master." Qing Shuang's disciple also rushed to check on his master's condition.

But at that moment, Qing Shuang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her white clothes were instantly stained with several red patches.

"Master?" Chizuru came over, clutching her chest.

Everyone looked across at the other side, while Qing Shuang looked at them with a complicated expression.

The one who just called him husband wasn't A Ning.

"Husband?" A-Yuan's voice was full of worry. "Are you alright?"

Ji Huaizhi simply held her soft hand without saying a word.

Ah Ning kept sizing up her suddenly rising brother-in-law. She had really underestimated him; he was clearly no ordinary person.

He raised his finger as if to say something, but then hesitated and swallowed it back down.

“He is not your husband,” Qing Shuang said with certainty. “And you are not the one who is pregnant.”

Chizuru was about to vomit blood. What was Master saying?

Does he still remember what they, the exorcists, were here for?

Ah Ning realized he was talking to her, blinked, and then suddenly laughed, as if she had thought of something particularly funny.

"You think he's my husband?"

Ah Ning felt like she was about to laugh until tears streamed down her face. After rubbing the corners of her eyes, she said in a coquettish voice, "You really are getting more and more like a novice. You're saying you regret it for no reason and talking nonsense here."

Suddenly his expression changed, and he angrily flung his sleeves, saying, "Do you think Qingtai Mountain is a place for sightseeing?"

As soon as they finished speaking, a number of foxes appeared and surrounded them.

The demon hunter quickly stood back-to-back protecting his master, warily looking around.

Qing Shuang was being supported by Qian He, her face full of melancholy, which made A Ning feel a little disgusted.

The snake demon glided over in an S-shape, her face full of ambiguity: "Sister A Ning is really amazing~ She made the demon exorcists abandon their original intentions."

She slid to the other side of A Ning and asked, "Won't Qingtai Mountain and Jiutai Mountain become in-laws in the future?"

The snake demon, who had been joking and laughing, suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted: "You..."

A Ning put her hand down and said coldly, "You're still half asleep and not thinking straight. You can sleep a little longer in my illusion."

Then he looked at the snake demon's tribe: "Aren't you going to take her back? Let her stop talking so much."

"If you treat our king like this, she will definitely come for revenge when she wakes up." After uttering these harsh words, the snakes carried the snake demon away in an S-shape.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just watch the show, why are you meddling in the fun?

Now look what's happened; we can't even watch the show, and we've offended that stingy fox again.

"Master, don't be bewitched by this demon." Chizuru tried to bring her master back to his senses.

"When did I bewitch him? You shameless thing!" After saying that, A Ning slapped Qing Shuang from a distance.

Her white hair fell loose, her ribbon slipped down, and a handprint instantly appeared on Qing Shuang's face.

It looks broken and innocent.

This slap struck the hearts of the other disciples even more deeply. Their respected and powerful master had actually been slapped by a demon.

This is exactly the effect Ah Ning wanted.

Because he's the person I know best, I know how to make him feel even more pain.

Ah Yuan held her husband's waist and didn't ask anything else, only staring intently at the white-haired demon slayer.

"You vixen, how dare you treat our master like this! I'll kill you!" A man in white had a ferocious expression, as if something inside him had collapsed.

Just as he was about to die with her, Ah Ning struck out, ready to kill him outright.

Unexpectedly, Qing Shuang directly shielded her disciple, saying, "Let's not involve others in our feud."

"Oh?" A Ning suddenly appeared and grabbed Qian He, her fingers gripping Qian He's neck: "So you admit now that we have a grudge?"

"You, the greatest demon slayer in the world, and me, a mere fox demon?"

Qing Shuang closed her eyes upon seeing this: "Release my disciple."

A Ning's face suddenly filled with hatred, and Qian He knelt down in pain: "How dare you speak to me like that?"

Do you know how much I hate you?

Qing Shuang couldn't ignore it, so she took two steps forward and said, "I know, you let him go, and I'll bear the consequences of my own actions."

"I came down the mountain this time just to see you."

"Smack!"

Another handprint appeared on Qing Shuang's other face.

"What do you think you are?" The lines around A Ning's eyes became more and more obvious: "Even killing you wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in my heart."

Chizuru's expression grew increasingly pained, and Aoshiro's face became even paler.

His gaze fell on the tail behind her, and he closed his eyes with difficulty: "Release my disciple."

"I'm at your disposal."

Qing Shuang's words were unacceptable to the other disciples: "Master, you can't!"

"No, Master!"

"master."

A Ning was not happy at all seeing this scene, so she struck out with her palm, and all of Qing Shuang's disciples entered the barrier.

Qing Shuang turned her head and said, "Don't hurt them. I already said I'm at your mercy."

"Of course I'll deal with you." A Ning curled her lips, her voice long enough for everyone to hear: "But Qingtai Mountain isn't a place you can come and go as you please."

"If you can get out of here alive, that's your own skill."

Then, looking at Qing Shuang with a flickering gaze, he said, "If you can't get out or die on the way, you'll have to blame your good master."

Meeting the woman's gaze, Qing Shuang closed her eyes and said, "Don't make things difficult for them."

"I've already stayed here."

"I just said it." Turning to leave, he asked, "Who do you think you are?"

Seeing her sister so angry, A-Yuan knew she must have suffered a great injustice.

Seeing the man staring intently at his sister's retreating figure, he shouted, "Lock these two in the water dungeon. We'll deal with them after my sister remembers them."

"yes."

Chizuru, who had fallen to the ground, was lifted up.

"I'll walk myself," Qing Shuang said first when she saw them preparing to tie her up.

After entering the cave, Ah Ning drank a cup of water, which extinguished some of the fire in her heart.

A-Yuan, who was supporting her husband from behind, was trying to catch up with her sister when her husband suddenly collapsed.

"My husband, my husband..."

Before A Ning could even process her emotions, she had to find a fox doctor to examine her brother-in-law. Just to be on the safe side, she also asked a snake doctor, a rat doctor, and a bird doctor to take a look.

After a while of arguing and chattering among the demons, Ji Huaizhi woke up.

"Husband." A-Yuan jumped onto the bed again.

Seeing her sister like this, Ah Ning rolled her eyes.

Several demons questioned Ji Huaizhi for a while and found that he indeed did not remember what had happened. He only knew that A Yuan went up to help halfway through watching the play.

In his mind, defeating the world's number one demon slayer was simply impossible for him.

Ji Huaizhi remained expressionless, reverting to his previous frail appearance.

It broke A-Yuan's heart to see this.

"Your Highness, after our discussion, we concluded that the Prince Consort must have had opportunities in the past, but because he is human, he couldn't have handled those opportunities as an ordinary person, which is why his health is in such poor condition."

"And this opportunity will come in a time of crisis, to replace the prince consort."

Ji Huaizhi suddenly nodded: "I seem to remember that my mother dug up a jade bottle in the farmland when she was pregnant."

All eyes turned to them.

"What kind of jade bottle?"

Ji Huaizhi chuckled: "I wasn't even born then, so I didn't know what kind of jade bottle it was."

“My mother told me that after my father opened the jade bottle, a wisp of black smoke came out and swirled around her stomach. At that time, they thought they were seeing things.”

"Because the black mist dissipated very quickly."

"But afterwards, my mother and father's health deteriorated, and I was even more frail after I was born."

"That's right, that's probably it." The rat doctor hopped around. "That jade bottle is definitely not simple, and your whole family can't withstand what's inside it."

The snake demon twisted its body and continued, "But so many years have passed, and you and what's inside have become one. So when you or someone you care about is in danger, your subconscious will awaken what's inside you."

The fox doctor stroked his chin and nodded: "That makes sense."

Ji Huaizhi: "......"

A Ning: "...Really? Something feels off."

"Will my husband be in danger? My husband was already weak, and he takes a nap after he becomes stronger. Will that affect his lifespan?" A-Yuan felt touched.

Her husband's two changes were both because of her; he felt she was in danger.

"Um..." The fox demon cupped her hands in greeting, "The examination so far shows that the prince consort is simply weak."

"No other questions."

After speaking, he looked at the other doctor.

"Neither do we." The two demons shook their heads, but the snake doctor hesitated to speak.

Ah Ning glared at him and said, "Speak."

"Your Highness is a bit weak; you can take some tonics," the snake doctor said, chuckling twice.

"......"

Seeing that everyone was staring at her silently, she quickly shut her mouth again: Damn it, what was I saying?

A-Yuan blushed slightly and gently hooked her husband's palm with her index finger: "I think my husband is quite amazing, don't listen to her nonsense."

Ji Huaizhi coughed lightly: "It is my fault."

"What about the jade bottle?" A-Ning asked, still somewhat curious.

He's just bragging; where's the bottle?

"I don't know, maybe my parents thought it was unlucky and broke it." Ji Huaizhi glanced at his wife and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"I see." A Ning said with some regret, "You may leave now. The fox doctor will keep a close eye on the prince consort's condition. If anything happens, just ask A Yuan."

Don't bother me anymore, it's annoying to hear about me.

"Fox Demon Lord, Fox Demon Lord!" The Snake Doctor twisted and turned, transforming into human form. "Our Queen is still in an illusion. I wonder if..."

Upon hearing the wave, Ah Ning noticed that the snake doctor had a small bottle in his hand.

"Tell her to watch her mouth, or she'll die from it sooner or later."

The snake doctor left immediately after getting the item, completely ignoring her instructions.

Without the demon exorcists, the two races will still fight each other whenever they meet.

The rat doctor was also incredibly fast; she and snakebites were natural enemies.
