The Empress looked at An Ge's retreating figure, opened her mouth with some reluctance, but swallowed the words of pleading.
"I only exchanged a few words with Xiaoge'er, how did this kid manage to drag her away?"
The Demon King embraced his wife and comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. Little Jiu is right. Time is of the essence, and this is not the time for idle chatter."
The Empress Dowager knew the gravity of the situation; she was only slightly disappointed. "Anyway, we'll see each other again next month, and then we can have a proper chat."
An Ge was pulled by Hu Jiu all the way to the side hall, and only breathed a sigh of relief after they were out of the sight of the Demon King and Demon Queen.
Hu Jiu found it somewhat amusing, but seeing An Ge's embarrassed and angry look, he quickly stopped laughing and said seriously, "I told you long ago that my father and mother are easy to get along with, so are you relieved now?"
"The Demon Queen is indeed young and beautiful, but you look more like the Demon King."
What Hu Jiu disliked most about his appearance was that he looked like an old man. "Old men only have one face to look at. If he wasn't good-looking, why would Mother have taken a liking to him?"
"I always feel like there's something strange about how you and your father get along." An Ge couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
"I have a pretty good relationship with the old man, but we often disagree on things, and occasionally we have a friendly exchange." When we disagree, we try to persuade each other, which leads to verbal attacks and eventually escalates into a physical fight.
Of course, Hu Jiu was very skilled in the art of language and selectively concealed some of the facts.
An Ge looked at Hu Jiu suspiciously, but after thinking about it, she felt that disagreement wasn't a big problem, so she stopped asking.
Much later, when An Ge watched Hu Jiu and the Demon King fight fiercely, leaving the entire palace looking as if it had been ravaged, she gained a profound understanding of Hu Jiu's so-called "friendship."
After finishing her meal, An Ge prepared to enter the Trial Tower amidst the worried gazes of Hu Jiu and the others.
"Oh, poor little Ge'er, if you encounter danger, don't try to hold on. Come out when you need to. If it doesn't work this time, we'll go again next time." The Demon Queen held An Ge's hand worriedly.
Hu Jiu was originally very worried, but seeing the Demon Queen like this, he was speechless.
If he remembered correctly, he entered the Trial Tower when he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, which is equivalent to human age. At that time, his mother said something like, "You better hold on well. If you don't pass, don't say you're my son when you get out."
It's true that different people have different fates! Hu Jiu could foresee that he would definitely lose his status in the future.
An Ge was deeply moved by the Empress's concern. "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself."
"Alright, alright, the Trial Tower is open now. It'll be too late if we don't go in now," the Demon King said, separating the two who were reluctant to part.
An Ge glanced at the concerned looks on everyone's faces, took a deep breath, and walked towards the training tower without looking back.
Once An Ge's figure disappeared, the Demon Queen looked at Hu Jiu with displeasure, "Why are you so calm? Aren't you worried about little Ge'er getting hurt?"
It would be a lie for Hu Jiu to say he wasn't worried, but thinking about what he had given An Ge, he felt much more at ease.
The Demon King glanced at Hu Jiu sideways and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "I didn't expect that little fox to be such a lovelorn person, actually putting such an important thing as her inner core on someone else."
Hu Jiu felt listless at the thought that An Ge wouldn't be out for a while, and he was too lazy to argue with the Demon King.
The Demon Queen looked at Hu Jiu in surprise, never expecting that Xiao Jiu could go to such lengths for An Ge.
The inner core of a demon is extremely important. By placing the inner core on An Ge, Xiao Jiu was essentially entrusting her life to her. Moreover, the inner core of the nine-tailed fox clan has an important function: it can transfer the damage and danger suffered by the other party. No wonder Xiao Jiu was so calm.
"You two really are father and son." The Demon Queen remembered that the Demon King had done the same thing before, so she couldn't blame Hu Jiu for his recklessness.
An Ge stepped into the Trial Tower, feeling a little nervous. She had asked Hu Jiu about the Trial Tower, but Hu Jiu said his experience wasn't very helpful because the Trial Tower would automatically adjust itself based on each person's situation.
This is one of the reasons why the Trial Tower is so important.
Suddenly, everything went black before An Ge's eyes, and she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she found herself in a bustling city.
An Ge had considered all the possibilities and prepared for battle, but at this moment, looking at the bustling street, she was stunned for a long time.
"This is a letter of annulment. From now on, you and my young lady have nothing to do with each other. Get out of here."
Suddenly she heard murmurs coming from not far away, so she quickly went over to see what was going on.
A man was seen lying on the ground in a disheveled state, his face obscured, but the way he tightly gripped the annulment letter revealed his extreme resentment.
"Isn't this Wu Yong, the young master of the Wu family? Why does he look so disheveled?"
"Haven't you heard? The good-for-nothing young master of the Wu family was kicked out of the house a while ago, and just a few days later, his marriage to Miss Wang was also ruined."
"That's perfectly normal. The young lady from the Wang family is a famous genius in our Tianhe City. She's only fifteen years old and has already reached the Xuanling Realm. It's a pity that she's paired with this good-for-nothing. They should have broken off the engagement long ago."
Listening to everyone's comments, An Ge roughly understood the whole situation.
He arrived just in time for the classic scene of a broken engagement.
Wu Yong clutched the annulment letter, wishing he could tear a hole through it. His eyes blazed with anger as he glared at the Wang family gate, then stood up to appear less pathetic. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Never underestimate a young man's potential! I, Wu Yong, will remember this humiliation and repay it tenfold in the future!"
"Cough!" An Ge almost choked on her own saliva. Good heavens, those familiar words, that classic scene—had she accidentally written it into a novel?
For some reason, she could even sense Wu Yong's anger.
An Ge quickly shook her head, trying to shake off the strange feeling. She looked at Wu Yong speechlessly, her eyes somewhat glazed over. It was a pity she couldn't contact Xiao Qi right now, otherwise she could at least have some understanding of her surroundings.
However, Xiaoqi once said that some novels, through resonance with people's consciousness, may form small worlds, and unsurprisingly, she encountered this situation herself.
Thinking of this, An Ge's gaze towards Wu Yong became strange. This man shouldn't be called Wu Yong; he should be called Long Aotian!
An Ge knew without even thinking that the following plot would unfold: this Long, no, this Young Master Wu, would definitely show his talent and slap those who looked down on him in the face.
After everyone dispersed, An Ge hesitated for a moment, then decided to stay away from the protagonist to ensure her safety.
From the moment she came into this world, An Ge realized that her spiritual power was sealed, and now she was just a mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken.
She hadn't gone far when she suddenly felt a powerful attraction that stopped her from leaving.
"What happened?"
An Ge was startled, and the next second, she was dragged backward. She resisted the force strangely, but to no avail. What puzzled her even more was that the people on the street seemed not to see her at all, and even walked right through her.
An Ge then realized that she had been transported to a different dimension and seemed to have become a soul.
