Bai Xiaobai led a group of fox cubs to participate in the ceremony.
Upon entering, the Zou family members looked panicked and said that there had been a car accident when they came over that morning, and Qingqing was unconscious in the room and was being given emergency treatment.
In its haste, without thinking twice, it immediately rushed into Zou Qingqing's room to check on her.
Once inside, there was a magic circle that firmly trapped it inside.
In fact, it could break the Zou family's magic array with some time.
However, the Zou family likely considered this as well.
Soon, Zou Qingqing entered with a blank expression.
She looked at it coldly, cut open her wrist, and dripped her blood into the array.
It formed a soul bond with Zou Qingqing, and Zou Qingqing's blood contained half of its magical power. In this way, it was as if it cursed itself, and the power of the magic array was suddenly strengthened.
The magic array exhausted all its power, and a thousand years of time were superimposed on it in that instant, making it age and die instantly.
Afterwards, he was skinned alive by the Zou family, never to be reincarnated.
The fox cubs were also brutally killed, with countless deaths and injuries.
It was furious and, on its deathbed, cursed the Zou family.
May the Zou family be cursed to perish for generations to come.
After reading it, Mingluo stared in deep thought.
"You cursed the Zou family to perish forever? Then what about all these Zou family members in this courtyard?"
Bai Xiaobai glanced at Mingluo and said listlessly, "I cursed the disciples of the Xuanmen. Once a disciple of the Zou family enters the Xuanmen, he is cursed to have no offspring. Later, the Zou family split into two branches. One branch engaged in business in the secular world, which is Zou Jinnian's branch. The other branch selected some good disciples from the collateral branches to enter the Zou family and inherit the Xuan arts."
Mingluo pondered.
Then many things make sense.
No wonder Zou Jinnian knew so many people in the Xuanmen sect; it turns out he had a connection with the Zou family.
His business success is probably partly due to the influence of the Zou family.
However, if that's the case, why was Zou Shengshui able to get Fan Yanran pregnant? Although the child later died, Zou Shengshui did indeed get Fan Yanran pregnant.
There is probably another reason for this.
"Have you ever considered that Zou Qingqing might have been forced into this?"
Bai Xiaobai glanced sideways at Mingluo.
"I've lived for a thousand years, so I still have this much insight."
Minglu shook her head and remained silent.
That's not necessarily true.
She lived for tens of thousands of years but never understood Yan Zhen, and in the end, she was betrayed by her own disciple.
Now, she has probably become a laughing stock in the divine realm.
Sometimes, one shouldn't be too confident.
Nie Yuchen paused for a moment, then said, "Is it possible that Zou Qingqing has been blackmailed?"
Bai Xiaobai closed her eyes.
It also wondered if Zou Qingqing had some close relative in the Zou family being blackmailed, forcing her to do this.
It watched Zou Qingqing grow up, and although it had some close friends, none of them were people it would trade its life for.
There's only one possibility: Zou Qingqing doesn't like it.
Playing along with it is just a pretense to kill it.
The three of them stayed there for a while.
A boy of about twelve or thirteen tiptoed over, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and quickly knelt down in front of Zou Qingqing's grave, saying, "Fox spirit, fox spirit, I beg you for a favor. My mother is about to give birth. Please bless her so that she can give birth to my younger brother and sister safely."
After he finished speaking, he quickly took a steamed bun from his pocket and stuffed it into the grass in front of the grave.
There was no movement in the grass.
He got up dejectedly, his face full of regret.
"You brat, so you're here! I told you not to come, why didn't you listen?"
An elderly man in his sixties looked at the boy in front of the grave with a look of horror, grabbed him, and quickly walked away.
The boy playfully stuck out his tongue, his face full of innocent fearlessness. "There are no fox spirits! It's a lie!"
The old man flew into a rage, raised his hand and slapped the boy on the neck, yelling, "Spit! Spit! Spit!"
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" the boy said, covering his neck and laughing, completely unconcerned.
The old man bowed respectfully before Zou Qingqing's grave, muttering something under his breath.
He spoke very quickly, as if afraid that others might not hear him clearly.
Mingluo understood.
He said, "Grandma, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against the child. The Zou family wronged you in the past, but this child did not wrong you. Please don't blame him and let the child go."
The grass rustled.
The old man stared intently at the direction of the grass, too frightened to move.
Suddenly, several red threads flew out of the grass and wrapped around the old man's neck at great speed, throwing him far away.
The old man fell to the ground in pain, rolling several times before stopping.
His eyes were filled with horror, but also with the joy of surviving a disaster.
He said to the terrified boy, "Go quickly, the fox spirit has let us go. Go quickly and don't come back again."
The boy was terrified and quickly helped the old man up. The two stumbled and walked outside.
Mingluo noticed that Bai Xiaobai was staring intently at the red threads, her gaze unwavering.
She immediately stopped the old man who was about to leave.
Upon seeing this, the old man was greatly alarmed, but then seemed to understand and was about to shout.
Ming Luoyu slightly raised her wrist, which had already landed on the old man's neck, while Nie Yuchen also controlled the boy in that instant.
The old man's eyes widened with apprehension: "What do you want?"
Mingluo said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I just want to know, how did you wrong Zou Qingqing?"
The old man's eyes were filled with fear and unease. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Minglu frowned slightly. If she were in the God Realm, she could use the Soul Searching Technique to see everything in the old man's mind, but she felt somewhat constrained at this moment.
Nie Yuchen said in a deep voice, "Leave it to me, I'll do it!"
Mingluo: "..."
She didn't say much and calmly handed the person over to Nie Yuchen.
Nie Yuchen dragged the person into a corner.
Mingluo only heard a muffled groan and a sound like kicking a sack.
Soon, Nie Yuchen brought the man over. The old man didn't have many injuries, but the fear and resentment in his eyes were impossible to hide.
Mingluo looked at Nie Yuchen thoughtfully, recalling Nie Yuchen's gentle and refined appearance in the God Realm.
Suddenly I feel like there's something I can't see through...
Perhaps, she never truly understood her disciples.
Just when she thinks she knows them well enough, someone always manages to surprise or shock her...
That's outrageous!
Under Nie Yuchen's watchful gaze, the old man recounted everything he knew about Zou Qingqing.
It's roughly the same as Bai Xiaobai's.
However, from the perspective of the human race, it's a different story.
The thousand-year-old fox demon had coveted Zou Qingqing's beauty since she was a child, and would send her gifts every now and then.
When Zou Qingqing grew up, it beat up her boyfriend and drove him away, then took the girl for itself and even wanted to openly propose marriage.
