Lin Jingting frowned helplessly: "Does this have anything to do with the question I asked you?"

Chu Nian: "You don't even remember that I'm your master, yet you know me so well?" She paused for a moment, then continued: "Even if I don't want to bother managing the fox clan, I won't really stay in Qingqiu forever. But I have a hundred ways to make the fox clan as peaceful and prosperous as before. Didn't you think of that?"

Lin Jingting pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Chu Nian asked him, "Hu Tiantian is already dead, his soul has returned to the underworld, so why would your underworld send him back?"

Cui Yu said coolly, "Those whom the underworld wants to take, naturally no one can escape. Those whom the underworld doesn't want to take, no one can force upon the underworld." The key is that Hu Tiantian's lifespan is still long, not just a few decades, but thousands of years. It would be very difficult for the underworld to make up for those thousands of years of lifespan by having her reincarnate into a good family.

Chu Nian said, "Okay, I understand. This Hu Tiantian still has three thousand years of lifespan, right? Then I'll take her in and have her cultivate the land for me for three thousand years. After three thousand years, I'll hand her over to your underworld." As she spoke, she turned to Tuoba Hongyuan, pointed at Hu Tiantian, and said, "From now on, she's under your control."

"Alright! Master, rest assured, I will definitely train this little beauty to be very sensible and obedient, so that she will do everything to your liking." As Tuoba Hongyuan spoke, he had already arrived in front of the people of the underworld, ready to take over Hu Tiantian. He was overjoyed, thinking that Hu Tiantian was also a beauty. Although she had become a ghost, she could still be his fourth wife.

However, the people escorting Hu Tiantian in the underworld are at the mercy of Lin Jingting. If Lin Jingting doesn't give them any instructions, they won't hand him over to Tuoba Hongyuan.

Tuoba Hongyuan stretched out his hand for a long time, but the little ghost messenger still wouldn't hand Hu Tiantian over to him. Finally, he stretched out both hands to grab Hu Tiantian directly, but the little ghost messenger pulled Hu Tiantian behind him instead.

Lin Jingting said coldly, "Without my order, no one can take away a ghost."

Chu Nian asked, "So what exactly do you want?"

Lin Jingting: "Those who shouldn't die should be brought back to life."

Chu Nian: "There have been people who died before their lifespan was over, haven't there?"

Lin Jingting: "The deaths of those people have aggravated the sins of the person who caused their deaths. You should know better than anyone else what the witch's ultimate fate will be."

Chu Nian's lips twitched. She was the one who killed that old witch in the last world.

"Fine, I'll bring her back to life," Chu Nian said helplessly.

Cui Yu pointed at the pile of roasted meat on the ground and questioned, "It's cooked like this, tell me how she came back to life?"

Chu Nian said, "Why not just make an exact replica?" With that, she waved her hand, and a completely identical red fox appeared next to the pile of roasted meat, still lively and jumping around.

Lin Jingting's gaze narrowed slightly: She felt that she had seen this method before, but she couldn't remember where.

"This can be used?" Cui Yu asked in shock.

Lin Jingting stared at the newly appeared red fox, and the method of casting this spell flashed through his mind. It seemed that he had done the same thing before: in front of someone he knew very well.

He stared at the red fox for a long while.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty?" Cui Yu called out several times, and finally had to shake him to bring him back to his senses. He then asked, "What is it?"

Cui Yu asked, "Can this bring him back to life?"

Lin Jingting: "Okay." Suddenly, a modern classroom filled with students flashed through his mind. He found it strange; was this scene related to what was happening now? Was it related to that newly appeared red fox...?

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

Upon hearing his words, the ghost messenger immediately pushed Hu Tiantian's soul towards the red fox. However, Hu Tiantian didn't want to return to the living world just like that; if she did, the underworld would no longer interfere in Qingqiu's current troubles.

Regardless, she had to find a way to get the underworld to intervene and help her and Bai Jiuxiao reclaim the Imperial Seal. So, although she was pushed into the red fox's body by the ghost messengers, she popped right out of it again.

"No, I don't want this body, I want my own body!" Hu Tiantian cried and sobbed. "Think about it, if it were you, and your own body was destroyed, would you be willing to enter any body at all?"

Chu Nian stared at her with a deep look in her eyes and said, "Your own body can actually be used as well." As she spoke, she waved her hand toward the pile of roasted meat.

The roasted meat miraculously came to life, got up from the ground, and made strange "roaring" noises...

Zhao Feiyang saw that it looked exactly like a zombie fox and felt a little disgusted. He rolled his eyes and turned his head away, no longer looking in this direction.

Lin Jingting's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. None of the living creatures in this world could give him any peace of mind.

Anyway, Hu Tiantian now has a physical body that can be restored to life. If she doesn't want to return to life, then she can't blame anyone else.

Lin Jingting had no desire to stay any longer: Qingqiu was clearly in internal strife, and their Underworld absolutely could not get involved. So he gave a brief order to his subordinates: "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he turned around with everyone to leave, but the rumbling sound of the barrier in the distance suddenly stopped, and then with a whoosh, several people fell down in front of everyone.

Hu Tiantian was startled when he saw the beautiful woman in white covered in blood, and exclaimed in horror, "Your Majesty, you... how could you..."

The woman in white was Bai Jiuxiao.

Because Liu Ying was protected by her while inside the barrier, she was less injured.

As for Master Nanhua and Lord Yinshan, Chu Nian hadn't anticipated their appearance and hadn't included them in the design of the Imperial Seal. Therefore, they suffered less damage within the barrier, only being entangled and unable to rescue the Bai mother and daughter. Although they were also thrown out by the barrier, neither of them was injured.

Seeing Bai Jiuxiao lying on the ground spitting out blood, Chu Nian smiled alluringly and coldly, "Aunt Bai, you should thank me properly. If I had used the Imperial Seal to change the attack of Qingqiu's barrier on you to one hour, you would already be dead."

Bai Jiuxiao: "You can actually recognize the Imperial Seal as your master?" In fact, she had thought about this a long time ago, mainly because Jiuwei was Liu Ying's severed tail, and could be considered her bloodline, but she never wanted to face this fact.

Chu Nian smiled and said, "Why can't I?"

Bai Jiuxiao sneered and said, "You're quite the self-taught expert, actually learning to use the Imperial Seal to alter the Qingqiu barrier."

Chu Nian said, "I think even you, the former empress, haven't fully grasped the divine power of this Imperial Seal." As she spoke, she winked at Tuoba Hongyuan.

Tuoba Hongyuan immediately presented the imperial seal with both hands.

Chu Nian took it, made a hand seal in front of his chest, and chanted an ancient and obscure incantation while his mouth was buzzing.
