It was the voice of the Fox King, Bai Xi.
Lu Qing and the others were just worried about not being able to find the Fox King's palace when Bai Xi's shout pointed them in the right direction.
The four of them walked in the direction the Fox King had pointed out.
Before long, they saw the entrance to a cave.
"Why is the Fox King's Palace a cave?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
In her imagination, the Fox King of Qingqiu should at least live in a palace or something.
How could it be a cave?
Gu Xicheng chuckled and said, "Even if it's the Fox King, it's still a fox. Living in a cave is its nature."
As they were talking, two fox demons who had already taken human form came out.
"Please come in, everyone!"
The four followed them inside.
Once inside, Lu Qing discovered that although the fox den looked unremarkable from the outside, it was actually a hidden paradise inside.
The space inside is very large, with murals carved on the walls and the path underfoot paved with bluestone. So although the cave is a bit damp, it is clean and refreshing all around.
To Lu Qing's surprise, the cave was lit by light bulbs.
Moreover, there are refrigerators, air conditioners, and even a Xiao Ai smart speaker placed on the cabinet not far away.
If you hadn't told her this was a fox den, she would have thought it was a modern human settlement!
"Is Qingqiu really that progressive?" Lu Qing muttered.
Just then, a voice came from ahead, answering her:
“Little girl, you don’t need to be so surprised. We are foxes, not ancient relics. It’s true that many things are more convenient in the human world.”
Lu Qing looked up and saw a young man in a white suit sitting in the chair in the center of the room.
He is the Fox King Bai Xi.
Because of its high level of cultivation, it now looks no different from a human.
She was dressed very fashionably.
She wore the latest high-end suit and leather shoes, a watch on her wrist that matched Gu Xicheng's, and a red earring in one ear.
After observing him for a moment, Lu Qing curiously pointed to the electrical appliances and asked:
"Those things all need electricity. Do you have a power plant here?"
"With thunderfoil power generation, there is no need for a power plant."
Bai Xi waved her hand gently, and a small fox with lightning bolts all over its body jumped out to show Lu Qing.
Lu Qing chuckled dryly twice:
"The fox clan is really... impressive!"
"Please have a seat, everyone!" Bai Xi gestured for them to sit down.
This living room is quite similar to an ancient banquet hall, with a table and chair for each person, placed on both sides.
The Fox King sat in the master's seat at the very top.
Fresh fruits and vegetables were laid out on the table, especially grapes, and the desserts looked quite exquisite as well.
Gu Xicheng, Lu Qing, and Qin Yuebai all sat down as instructed, while Helian Shi walked straight toward Baixi.
Amidst the puzzled looks of the three, Helian Shi walked straight to Bai Xi, pointed to his location, and said:
"I think I should sit here, right?"
The three were greatly surprised.
That's the Fox King's position. What is Helian Shi doing?
What surprised them even more was Bai Xi's reaction.
Upon hearing Helian Shi's words, he smiled helplessly, then stood up and stepped aside.
"Helian, you actually still remember?"
Helian Shi sat directly in his seat, frowning as he said:
“I don’t remember, but my gut tells me I should sit here.”
Bai Xi chuckled softly, her tone seemingly indulgent as she said:
"This is the Fox King's position, and it belongs to you. If it were anyone else, I would definitely kick them out!"
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes immediately, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
Helian Shi said he knew Bai Xi, but it seems that his acquaintance was more than just that!
Their relationship is rather complicated!
No! I need to talk to Third Brother about this later and keep some evidence first.
Lu Qing quietly took out her phone, opened the camera, and pointed it at Helian Shi and Bai Xi.
Click!
The flash went off.
Lu Qing was embarrassed.
Helian Shi frowned and looked at her: "What are you doing?"
Lu Qing quickly put away his phone and said with an embarrassed smile:
"This place feels quite novel, so I'm just taking some photos."
Helian Shi seemed to have realized Lu Qing's purpose, and directly reached out and pulled her phone away.
Hey! Helian Shi, what are you doing?!
Helian Shi opened her photo album directly.
Upon seeing the photo of Bai Xi and himself, he was immediately speechless.
What are you trying to achieve by filming this?
Lu Qing pouted: "I didn't mean anything by it."
She certainly didn't doubt Helian Shi's feelings for her third brother, but Bai Xi's gaze was anything but innocent.
With her third brother away, she had to be careful.
“Helian Shi, although you were my brother in your past life, Chu Qianjin is my brother in this life. If you dare to betray him, you’re dead!” Lu Qing glared at him fiercely.
"What do you mean by that? How could I possibly betray A-Jin!" Helian Shi asked, puzzled.
Lu Qing looked at Bai Xi:
"Just look at the way he looks at you, it's not much different from how he looks at my third brother."
Upon hearing this, Helian Shi glanced at the photo and realized something was amiss.
He looked at Bai Xi, frowned, and asked.
"You like me?"
The blunt question startled Gu Xicheng so much that he choked on his tea.
Lu Qing quickly handed him a tissue.
Qin Yuebai's face was also stiff, and she didn't know where to look, so she could only look down at her nose and her mind.
The person in question, however, showed no shame whatsoever, and looked Helian Shi straight in the eye as he answered:
Yes, I like you!
"But to be precise, I want to sleep with you."
Now, all three of them were numb.
How could such private words be spoken so openly in front of so many people?
Helian Shi took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Bai Xi.
"I only love Ah Jin, and I will never have a relationship with anyone else!"
Bai Xi: "I'm not human, I'm a fox!"
Helian Shi: "Even foxes won't do!"
Bai Xi: "What if I said that if you sleep with me, I'll give you the Mirror Flower Water Jade you want?"
Everyone froze for a moment.
Bai Xi lowered her eyes and chuckled softly:
"Just because I haven't left Qingqiu doesn't mean I don't know about human affairs."
"If I don't agree, even if you possess divine bones, you won't be able to pass through the barrier and arrive at Qingqiu."
"I can give you the Mirror Flower Water Jade, as well as the fox clan elder you want to see, as long as you give him to me for three days. Do you agree?"
Bai Xi asked everyone with a smile.
Lu Qing immediately said, "Impossible!"
No matter how much she wanted the Mirror Flower and Water Jade, she would never exchange it for Helian Shi.
Bai Xi: "Little girl, think it over before you answer. I only want him to stay with me for three days."
Three days later, I will not keep him, and I will not tell anyone about this.
"As long as you don't tell, and I don't tell, Ah Jin won't know..."
Before Bai Xi could finish speaking, Lu Qing angrily said:
"Stop talking! I can't possibly agree to that!"
The smile on Bai Xi's face vanished abruptly:
"Have you thought this through? Without the Mirror Flower Water Jade, your friend won't survive!"
Lu Qing: "I want the 'mirror flower' and 'water jade,' but I will never exchange them for Helian Shi's innocence!"
Innocent?
Helian Shi felt that these words sounded a bit strange, as if he were a young woman.
Bai Xi turned to look at Helian Shi:
"Whether she agrees or not is irrelevant; it depends on you."
"Helian Shi, will you agree?"
Bai Xi curled the corners of her lips into an extremely alluring smile.
Helian Shi frowned: "I agree..."
Bai Xi's eyes lit up, but before he could get excited, Helian Shi blurted out two more words:
"...bullshit!"
