Chapter 63063 A Drop of Heart Blood
Shi Hua stood with his hands behind his back at the border of the fox clan's territory.
The teasing voice came from the king of the fox clan, Tu Xuan.
Her connection with the fox clan has lasted for at least thousands of years.
"You knew I was coming, but you didn't show up?"
"There are so many people around, I'll send someone to pick you up."
Soon, two women dressed as maids appeared, bowed slightly, nodded, and led them in.
Passing through the fox clan's barrier, space was distorted for a moment.
Wei Shizhou blinked and found that they were in a glittering palace. The man sitting above the palace had a handsome face, black hair and black eyes. If you didn't look carefully, you would think he was a human.
That person was Tu Xuan.
The fox clan has a long lifespan, and Tu Xuan has been on the throne for a thousand years. He felt that being the Fox King was too tiring, so he wanted to pass the throne to his son. However, Tu Xuan had five sons, and the original designated heir was the third son, Tu Chen, but his legs were crippled and he was unable to be king. The remaining sons fought each other to the death for the throne.
Shi Hua now has the appearance of Jiang Qingwu.
Before coming in, she told Wei Shizhou to talk less and watch more.
"Jiang Qingwu, long time no see."
Tu Xuan spoke first, watching the two of them sit down on one side, and gestured with her eyes to pour tea.
"I haven't seen you for a thousand years, and you look so well-maintained."
When Tu Xuan was young, she paid the most attention to maintaining her appearance. That is why, after a thousand years, her appearance remains the same without any signs of aging.
He subconsciously touched his face.
Tu Xuan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the method you gave me back then."
"You are my only child."
The deeper the magical power of a cultivator, the better he can maintain his beauty. Since that thing was of no use to Shi Hua, he gave it to Tu Xuan as a favor.
Glancing at the dazzling decoration.
Shi Hua looked helpless. "Thousands of years ago, this place was low-key and luxurious. How come it has become so dazzling in your hands?"
Tu Xuan glared: "Isn't it beautiful? Look at these colorful ones, how beautiful they are!"
It looks good, but it's tiring for the eyes.
Since entering the temple, Shi Hua has never seen any other members of the fox clan, not even his sons.
Shi Hua calmly probed, "Is your palace so deserted? Or are you afraid that your sons will know I'm here and turn your place upside down?"
"You know that too."
Tu Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Look at you, why are you bothering with a few juniors? It's not like you don't know that the fox clan is stubborn. How can they not chase you after you cut off their fox tails?"
Shi Hua was calm and collected, taking a sip from his teacup. "Have I cut off too few fox tails? I even dared to cut off your father's tail, so why would I be afraid of a few brats?"
The two chatted as if no one was around, their tone familiar, and between the lines one could tell they had a close relationship.
This was something Wei Shizhou had not expected.
Although he could predict what would happen next by taking the storybook, he didn't know that the vicious female character in the storybook was not Shi Hua herself. Shi Hua was just replacing this evil woman who disappeared for some unknown reason and following the plot arranged for him by Heaven.
The storyline does not reveal anything about Shi Hua himself.
For example, Jiang Qingwu’s identity.
Wei Shizhou looked at his nose and his heart, secretly keeping a watchful eye.
After a brief greeting, Shi Hua started the conversation.
"I just arrived at the Fox Tribe and you smelled it and came over. When did you care about what I was doing in the Fox Tribe?"
Given their friendship, Tu Xuan never asked Shi Hua why he came to the fox clan's territory. He believed that Shi Hua would not do anything to harm the fox clan. Of course, the incident of his sons' fox tails being cut off was all their own fault.
The little brats were so arrogant that they thought they were invincible. It was bad luck for them to run into Shi Hua. It would be good if they could learn a lesson.
"Ahem...I have something to ask of you."
Shi Hua raised eyebrows.
Tu Xuan winked at the maid to send her away, and then she began to tell the story.
His eldest third son, Tu Chen, lost his legs in a practice a hundred years ago due to his obsession with cultivation. Since then, he has been in a depressed state, immersed in the decadence of failure. At that time, Tu Chen was already the heir of the fox clan. The elders of the clan tried to persuade him but failed, so they completely lost their patience with him. The elders wrote a letter together to ask Tu Xuan to select another heir.
Tu Xuan also tried to comfort him, hoping that Tu Chen would get out of the haze, but Tu Chen said something that made him give up the idea of persuading him again.
There was no trace of desire in Tu Chen's dead eyes.
He said, "The Fox Tribe does not need cripples."
He has seen countless famous doctors for his leg, and they all said it was beyond saving.
He is Tu Xuan's most proud son. He has outstanding talent and a good character, and is the perfect choice for the Fox King.
"Now I haven't decided on a candidate yet, and those little brats are fighting each other openly and secretly. There are endless things for me to deal with every day. I'm really fed up. I was just having a headache when I saw you coming over, so..."
Shi Ping looked at him expressionlessly.
It must not be a good thing to make Tu Xuan beg her.
"Jiang Qingwu, please help me this time, considering our friendship that has been through life and death together."
The tea in the cup has been finished.
Wei Shizhou stood up and poured her tea.
The tea is boiling hot, and you can feel the heat through the wall of the cup.
"What do you want me to help you with?"
"Please help me check Tu Chen and see if his leg can be saved."
Personally, I think Tu Chen is the best candidate for the Fox King.
Tu Xuan knew Shi Hua's ability. If Shi Hua said he could save him, then there was still hope. As long as Tu Chen's legs could recover, this farce of fighting for the throne would come to an end.
Shi Hua didn't agree immediately: "I need to go check on him first."
"I see."
Tu Xuan was about to call someone in, but then she remembered something and looked at her again.
"What are you doing here in the Fox Clan? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Shi Hua thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing I don't know if you are willing to give up."
Tu Xuan was curious, was there anything he couldn't bear to part with?
In the past, he never batted an eye when asked for something from Shi Hua, and this time was no exception.
He made a promise with a wave of his hand.
"Just take whatever you want!"
Shi Hua was waiting for him to say this.
After all, what she wanted to take was Tu Ying's hard-earned blood. If something really happened later, she wouldn't have to do anything with Tu Xuan as a guarantor.
*
In order to conceal the purpose of coming to the fox tribe.
Tu Xuan thoughtfully gave the fox clan the status of guests of honor and allowed them to live in the palace. His sons all lived in the palace, which made it more convenient for them to do things.
Shi Hua was not in a hurry to go to her residence, so she asked the maid to take her to see Tu Chen first.
"Master...Awu, you and the Fox King seem to have a good relationship?"
Haven't the immortals and the demon clan always been incompatible? Why is it that when it comes to Shi Hua, it's different from the rumors?
Shi Hua looked up at him and did not correct his address. Given her current status, it was indeed better to address him that way.
Even Tu Xuan didn't know that Jiang Qingwu's real identity was the Immortal Master Shuyu.
"We've been friends for thousands of years. He couldn't have ascended to the throne without my help."
No wonder, no wonder Tu Xuan was so polite to her.
Wei Shizhou became more and more curious, curious about more unknown things about Shi Hua, and how much truth there was in the rumors about the discord between the immortal sect and the demon clan.
"My lord, the Third Prince is inside, and I cannot accompany him."
"Wait for me here."
Shi Hua signaled Wei Shizhou to follow.
The fox clan's palace was like many other sects, with lush grass, chirping birds, and fragrant flowers. In the pavilion in the courtyard, gauze was fluttering. In the hazy sight, a figure was sitting in the pavilion.
Tu Chen dismissed the attendants beside him and wanted to be alone to calm his mind. Suddenly, he sensed the presence of a stranger and his face instantly darkened.
He pinched a leaf between two fingers and threw it out.
Shi Hua easily intercepted it.
With slightly curved eyebrows, he walked into the pavilion with a smile.
"From the look of His Highness the Third Prince, he doesn't seem like a decadent person."
Tu Chen has the same black hair as Tu Xuan, but his eyes are golden, which is a very uncommon eye color among the fox clan.
Shi Hua held the leaf and leisurely looked at his legs as he sat in the wheelchair. However, they were covered by his robe and he couldn't see clearly. It seemed that he had to touch them with his own hands to make a conclusion.
"Who are you?"
They are two unfamiliar faces.
Ever since his legs were crippled, Tu Chen has been living in the palace, not caring about what's happening outside and keeping himself out of the public eye.
"It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that I was hired by your father to help you with your legs."
"No need."
Tu Chen withdrew his gaze.
One of these two has an unfathomable cultivation level, and the other is in the late Nascent Soul stage. No matter how you look at it, they are not important people, and there is no need for him to bother investigating them.
Since they are the people invited by my father, let them do whatever they want.
Tu Chen turned his wheelchair and wanted to go somewhere else.
Shi Hua gave Wei Shizhou a look, and he strode forward and grabbed his wheelchair.
Tu Chen looked at him unkindly: "Let go!"
Shi Hua strolled up to him, a wisp of light blue spiritual energy flowed out from his fingertips, swirling around his legs.
Tu Chen's face changed drastically, and he shattered the spiritual energy with a palm.
"You are my father's guests, not my guests, Tu Chen. Don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The person who spoke so arrogantly last time had one of his tails cut off by her.
Tu Chen's attitude towards treating his leg was so bad that it was obvious that he was unwilling to treat it. Even if there was hope of curing it, he didn't look like he wanted to cure it.
Unlike what Tu Xuan said, that he lost his heir qualification due to his disabled legs and was depressed all day long, Tu Chen's health has recovered well, but the fact that he is reluctant to seek medical treatment is a bit problematic.
Shi Hua hates patients who refuse to be treated the most.
Because of her friendship with Tu Xuan, she agreed to come and take a look at the situation.
A terrifying pressure suddenly came down.
Wei Shizhou was no longer surprised by this power.
But Tu Chen felt uncomfortable.
His face was as pale as paper.
He gritted his teeth: "You!"
Shi Hua didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she just covered his mouth and told him to shut up.
Spiritual power slithered into his robes like a snake.
Shi Hua lowered his eyes and took a good look at the condition of his legs before he withdrew his spiritual power.
He waved his hand to let Wei Shizhou let go.
Shi Hua clapped his hands and sat down, leaning against the pole. "Your leg can still be cured, but it will take some effort."
"I don't need you to heal me!"
Tu Chen doesn't want to be saved by such a rude person!
"Be more polite!"
Wei Shizhou couldn't stand his stubborn attitude and slapped him on the back of the head.
Do you really think Shi Hua can be so kind to everyone? If it were someone else, it would be difficult for her to take action.
He also couldn't bear to see Shi Hua being bullied by others.
Although no one can bully the Immortal Master Shuyu.
Thinking of this, Wei Shizhou felt like there was something stuck in his throat. He felt more and more that his cultivation level was not good enough and he had to practice harder to catch up with her.
"presumptuous!"
Tu Chen had never been treated like this before, and he was so angry that he wanted to take action.
Shi Hua only slightly raised his eyelids.
He was fixed in place.
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
"Stop! What are you doing?!"
