The sect was deserted, and even the spirit beasts in the spirit beast garden had all been taken away, making it look rather desolate.
Feng Xiao stood on Qi Yu's shoulder, carefully sensing the aura emanating from afar.
"Xiaoyu, there's a fox smell over there, it's really stinky."
Qi Yu: "..."
It turned out to be a fox spirit.
The Demon Emperor Hua Liu is a celestial tree, yet it is unknown why it received the title of Demon Emperor.
Judging from the name, the Demon Emperor should be a willow tree spirit?
A very special willow spirit.
It's anyone's guess who will win in a battle between a willow tree spirit and a fox spirit.
Before long, she arrived near the sect's forbidden area.
The forbidden area is protected by restrictions; only those with a pass from a sect elder are allowed to enter.
But last time, Wei managed to slip through the loophole and float in smoothly from the river. I wonder if this small flaw has been fixed.
Qi Yu arrived at the riverbank outside the forbidden area, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water.
She swam along the current, and soon everything went dark as she entered an underground stream blocked by a mountain.
There is indeed a mountain in this forbidden area; it seems we are heading in the right direction.
Qi Yu held her breath and squinted to adjust to the sudden darkness.
The light shone on her body again, and Qi Yu raised her head from the water, about to observe her surroundings, when she unexpectedly met a smiling face.
Qi Yu: "..."
The young man in the fox fur coat had narrowed his fox-like eyes, his smile handsome yet carrying an eerie aura.
A fox spirit appeared.
She froze, unable to move, and hurriedly summoned Fengxiao to fight the monster.
"Feng Xiao, save me!"
A man with silver hair and red eyes, whose appearance surpassed that of the fox demon by three points, leaped out of the water, summoned a ball of pale flame in his hand, and threw it straight at the fox demon.
The fox demon's expression changed; sensing something strange about the fire, she quickly retreated several steps.
Qi Yu just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a hand pat him on the back.
Strangely, the moment that hand touched her, the immobilization spell immediately stopped, and she was able to move freely again.
Qi Yu quickly jumped out of the water and turned to look at the owner of the hand.
A woman dressed in a light green robe, with her hair tinged with a faint dark green, stood there gently and smiled slightly, saying, "Xiaoyu, you've finally arrived."
Qi Yu stared wide-eyed at the woman in green in disbelief.
"you……"
The woman in green took two steps closer, smiled, and said, "What? You've changed your clothes and don't recognize me?"
Qi Yu's lips parted slightly, and with a dazed look in her eyes, she took a few steps to stand in front of the woman, reaching out as if she wanted to touch her face.
"How...how did you see through me..."
The woman grasped Qi Yu's hand and placed it on her face, her voice unconsciously trembling slightly.
"Xiaoyu has grown up and is indeed very beautiful."
Qi Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
"Mother……"
She choked back tears and threw herself into the woman's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
The woman in green was none other than Liu Hua, her mother who had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills long ago in her world.
Liu Hua lowered her head and gently patted the girl's back, coaxing her softly as if caring for her young child, "Little Yu, Mommy's here..."
After a long silence, she sighed, "Thank goodness you're here. It wasn't a waste of my time to wait for you."
Qi Yu looked up at her with teary eyes and asked, "Mom, what exactly happened?"
Liu Hua stroked her hair and said, "Xiao Yu, if you want to know, Mommy will tell you later, okay?"
Before she finished speaking, she flicked her sleeve behind her, and a strange purple foxfire was trapped by several branches and extinguished instantly.
Liu Hua stood up, held Qi Yu protectively in her arms, and coldly looked at the other fox demon that had suddenly appeared to the side.
"You filthy fox, how dare you lay a finger on my daughter? You're asking for trouble!"
Not far away, Feng Xiao, who was fighting the fox demon from the beginning, suddenly turned serious and flashed back to Qi Yu's side.
The intention was to give Xiaoyu and the woman in blue who looked somewhat similar to Xiaoyu some space to be alone, but they never expected that someone else would take advantage of the situation.
He stood nervously behind Qi Yu and Liu Hua, tidying his hair, trying to make a good impression on his mother-in-law.
However, at this moment, Qi Yu and Liu Hua's attention was drawn to the suddenly appearing fox demon, and they did not notice his actions of tidying up his appearance.
Qi Yu frowned and asked Liu Hua, "Mom, what are they here for?"
Upon encountering his long-deceased mother in this strange world, he was overwhelmed with joy and almost lost his head before he began to observe the situation.
No wonder the system acted so strangely when detecting her and the Demon King; it seemed like it was malfunctioning.
Logically speaking, she and the Demon King were indeed unrelated.
But in another world, they are blood relatives, bound by blood.
I wonder why my mother became the queen of the demon race in this world; there must be many stories behind it.
The two fox demons opposite were quite surprised to hear Qi Yu address Liu Hua.
Their gazes darted back and forth between Qi Yu and Liu Hua, as if they couldn't believe that the Demon Emperor Hua Liu had suddenly acquired a human daughter.
Liu Hua looked impatient. She stood in front of Qi Yu and said to the two fox demons, "Get out of here! Can't you see I'm catching up with my daughter?"
As she spoke, she fanned her nose with her hand and said with disgust, "It smells like a fox, it's awful."
The two fox spirits: "..."
This is intolerable!
They exchanged a glance and then leaped up together.
Liu Hua flicked her hands, and several vines flew over to bind Qi Yu, then threw her toward Feng Xiao, who was standing quietly behind her as a background figure.
