Upon hearing this, Xue Qingyi squatted down and examined carefully.
She used her spiritual power to probe into Yunxiu's body, scanning around in circles, and soon found a round bead in Yunxiu's dantian.
"receive!"
Xue Qingyi immediately raised her hand, and the bead flew out of Yunxiu's mouth and landed on her palm.
This is a transparent bead like glass, with a layer of spiritual power fluctuations around it, like some kind of sealing spell.
And inside the bead, there was a white fox cub that was only the size of an adult man's thumb.
I saw its small body curled up into a ball, its pointed chin resting on a furry fox tail, and it was sleeping with its eyes closed, unaware of anything happening in the outside world.
“I see…I see!”
In Dantian, Xiao Guan saw the little white fox sealed in the bead, and couldn't help but exclaimed in shock, "That Yunxiu is not the child of the nine-tailed fox at all! This little white fox is!"
Xue Qingyi was also shocked when she heard this.
"If my guess is correct, this little white fox is from the Sky Fox clan! Sky Foxes have long been extremely rare due to the constant hunting and capture by human cultivators. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox must have sealed its child in the body of a human girl in order to protect it from being discovered by humans. And just now, she intended to self-destruct her demon pill in order to protect the little white fox! Only by self-destructing the demon pill and killing everyone, the secret of the Sky Fox cub sealed in Yun Xiu's body will not be exposed!"
Xiao Guan said quickly, "But little kid, you are in big trouble! The nine-tailed fox has placed a restriction on Yun Xiu. Once she dies, it will be triggered, and the biological father of this little white fox will realize that his child is in trouble. You have just touched another layer of tracking magic on this restriction, and you will be hunted down by the biological father of this little white fox in the future!
"It seems that what the nine-tailed fox said just now was clearly a lie. The father of her child is not an ordinary mortal man at all, but must be a great celestial fox demon, who could have bred this cub!"
As Xiao Guan spoke, his tone could no longer conceal a hint of gloating.
After all, as long as Xue Qingyi is in trouble, that would be his chance to escape!
Of course Xue Qingyi also heard it.
"Don't worry, senior. If I am really being hunted and encounter any unexpected events, I will definitely take you with me before I die!" she said in a cold voice.
"...You little kid! You are so cunning!"
Xiao Guan was immediately angered. He rolled his eyes and simply stopped talking.
Xue Qingyi ignored him. She held the glass bead in one hand and looked at it carefully again and again, while touching her chin with the other hand, she thought, since it is a seal, then this little celestial fox should be able to continue to grow after breaking the seal.
However, she had no experience in raising cubs, and could not figure out how to break the seal.
It seems that I can only study it slowly in the future.
I was just about to put this glass bead away.
At this time, Prince Qi suddenly came over, stared at the beads in Xue Qingyi's hand with a pair of dark and sharp peach blossom eyes, and slowly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, can you ..."
“No.”
However, Xue Qingyi didn't even wait for him to finish his words. She quickly and decisively put the beads away, and then handed him a porcelain bottle containing the spirit of a fox demon.
Don't make this rejection too obvious.
Prince Qi touched his nose in dismay, but stopped arguing and raised his hand to take the porcelain bottle.
He thought to himself that this woman was quite perceptive and actually knew that he wanted to exchange the fox spirit for this bead.
At this time, the guests had already fled in fear during the commotion.
Only the Prince of Yanping, the imperial concubine from the palace, and the human cub Jiang Youer had not left.
Jiang You'er saw the chaos and simply hid under a table.
Now that she was out of danger, she quickly ran out to Xue Qingyi's side, and clutched her clothes tightly with her little hands, as if she was afraid of being abandoned by her. However, her big dark eyes couldn't help but secretly glance at the imperial concubine.
As for the imperial concubine, she looked at Jiang You'er with a complicated expression.
Xue Qingyi had long realized that the mother Jiang Youer was referring to was the imperial concubine from the palace.
However, Jiang You'er had said before that his mother did not know him, which was obviously not true.
The imperial concubine recognized Jiang Youer the first time she saw him.
I don’t know how many times this mother and son have encountered this before. They only dare to look at each other secretly.
"My Lady, I have a lot to say to my father. Could you please take care of my...son first?"
At this time, Xue Qingyi suddenly looked at the imperial concubine and said.
"Me? Okay, of course. After going through so many things today, you naturally have to discuss many things with your father. As for the child between you and Prince Qi, I am also responsible for taking care of it." The imperial concubine smiled as she curved her eyes.
Jiang Youer's face lit up with joy when she heard that.
However, he did not move immediately. Instead, he raised his little face and looked at Xue Qingyi, asking for her permission.
It was just as he said before.
Well-behaved, sensible and obedient.
"Go." Xue Qingyi smiled, gently patted Jiang Youer's little head, and blinked at him.
"Thank you, mother!" Jiang You'er was very smart. He immediately said sweetly, let go of Xue Qingyi's sleeve, and ran towards the imperial concubine with his short legs.
The imperial concubine watched him stumbling towards her, feeling both happy and sad, her eyes turning red.
When the imperial concubine held Jiang You'er in her arms, Prince Qi tactfully stepped aside.
However, he did not leave at this time, obviously he still had something to say to Xue Qingyi.
Xue Qingyi walked towards the Prince of Yanping who was waiting for her quietly and did not dare to speak easily.
Then, she raised her hand and released a soundproofing shield to prevent her conversation with him from being overheard by others.
"Rou'er, you... these years..."
It seemed as if Prince Yanping was a little afraid to speak to her, perhaps because he felt guilty or something else.
After stammering out a few words, he suddenly sighed and asked, "Are you really Rou'er? Rou'er..."
"Miss Yunrou is dead."
Xue Qingyi didn't wait for him to finish his question before directly answering his question, "Although the one standing in front of you now is still her physical body, the soul inside has changed its owner. To put it simply, after she died, I took over her body."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yanping's face turned pale.
In an instant, he seemed to have aged several years.
However, he was obviously not surprised at all about Yun Rou's possession of another's body, which meant that he knew about the jade pendant.
So did he know that his original wife and eldest son had died and were possessed by other bodies?
Xue Qingyi noticed this, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Prince Yanping became even colder.
"It's me, it's me as a useless father..." At this time, he covered his face in pain, obviously feeling extremely guilty.
"You don't have to act like this. Yun Rou will die. At least Tu Shanyou is right about one thing. If anyone is to blame for her death, you are the one who should be blamed the most." Xue Qingyi saw him like this, but was too lazy to look at him any further and just said in a cold voice.
"Yes, I don't have the ability to protect her..." Prince Yanping did not deny it and said with a wry smile.
"No, you are not incapable."
However, Xue Qingyi denied him again, as if she was determined to expose his true face. "Although the charm technique did control your mind, there is a big premise for it to be successful, that is, you really wanted to abandon Yunrou, your biological daughter."
