Chapter 51 Ah Que, stop trying to trick me... I've found the pattern to the illusion...
Jiang Yuemian observed the fox calmly, but the fox was so cunning that it didn't reveal the slightest impropriety.
She found it interesting and asked Xiaodie to leave so she could speak with the fox alone.
After Xiaodie left, Jiang Yuemian changed her expression and said, "Alright, stop pretending."
The fox still didn't react to her words, so she had to ask directly, "Nine-tailed fox?"
Hearing her say this, the fox finally reacted, and he finally spoke in human language: "What do you want?" The voice was clearly that of an adult male.
At this moment, after he finished speaking, the entire fox became alert, as if ready to flee at any moment, and its fur stood on end.
Jiang Yuemian almost laughed. How could A Que's father be so different from him? A Que was gentle but sensitive, but this fox, how to put it, had both Gong Ziyu's pride and Qian Shanxue's coldness. What a strange fox.
Moreover, it was Gui Ci who saved his life. How rude of him! Thinking of this, Jiang Yuemian changed her tone: "I saved you, why didn't you even say thank you?"
Upon hearing this, the fox turned away and curled itself into a ball, clearly saying, "What can you do to me?"
Jiang Yuemian couldn't do anything to him after all; it was Gui Ci's business. She wasn't a true saintess. Jiang Yuemian sighed, stood up from her seat, and left, deciding to ignore him.
Only after she left did the fox open its eyes, a dark glint flashing in them.
......
"Holy Maiden! You're out! I told you, why were you looking at it? It's just a fox, and it even hurt you." Xiao Die kept nagging in Jiang Yuemian's ear, making it clear that she would not let her off the hook if she did it again.
Jiang Yuemian could only helplessly try to comfort Xiaodie and take her away with her to prevent the fox from doing anything to her.
The next day, when Jiang Yuemian woke up, she heard someone calling her, but it was only: "Xiaodie? Why are you so late?"
Xiao Die? Jiang Yuemian was in front of the bronze mirror in an instant, only to find that her face had turned into Xiao Die's appearance. She looked at her hands and immediately realized that she had really become Xiao Die.
What exactly is going on with this illusion? Does her soul inhabit different people every day?
Jiang Yuemian pondered for a moment, while the person next to her frowned when he saw her lost in thought: "Xiaodie, why don't you go and check on how the Holy Maiden is? We don't know when she will wake up."
Jiang Yuemian's thoughts were interrupted by his voice. She responded and then went out.
On the way, Jiang Yuemian sorted out her situation. She had now become Xiaodie, and the person had said that the Holy Maiden hadn't woken up yet. This meant that the date she was in was clearly before the Holy Maiden first opened her eyes. So, by the time she arrived, it would be the time when the Holy Maiden had just opened her eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yuemian stepped into the room, she heard the Holy Maiden's voice. However, she didn't know if the Holy Maiden was really the Holy Maiden.
Jiang Yuemian's eyes darkened for a moment, then she quickly got downstairs. Seeing the Holy Maiden about to get out of bed, she was shocked! How could this be?
She cried out, "Holy Maiden! Don't move!" Then she quickly supported the Holy Maiden, preventing her from moving around any further, and carefully helped her to continue lying on the bed.
Once everything was ready, just as she was about to take the medicine the saintess was supposed to drink, she heard the saintess speak: "Who are you?"
"......"
Jiang Yuemian hesitated for a second, then met the Holy Maiden's gaze, and tentatively asked, "A-Que?"
The Holy Maiden remained silent. Just as she was feeling disheartened and thought she hadn't found Ah Que again, the Holy Maiden spoke: "Master?"
Very good, it's Ah Que.
Now she no longer had to worry about where Ah Que was hiding. She quickly brought the medicine over and fed it to Ah Que spoonful by spoonful. Then she wiped the corner of his mouth and learned about the situation of the two of them over the past few days.
Shen Que said that he was enveloped in a white light as soon as he stepped into the cave, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his master.
In other words, Ah Que came in a few days later than her, so all her worries in the past few days were for nothing. But that's alright, it's better than Ah Que actually being trapped somewhere.
Jiang Yuemian continued to tell Shen Que about what had happened in the past two days. The two then decided that the first thing they should do was to see Shen Que's father, who was also the fox, to confirm their guesses.
This time, Jiang Yuemian, now Xiaodie, was still keeping watch outside, while Shen Que, now the Holy Maiden, went inside. After about fifteen minutes, Shen Que came out, and the two of them went back to the Holy Maiden's room.
"How is it?" Jiang Yuemian asked impatiently as soon as she entered the room. She was really eager to know what the fox was thinking.
"Master, don't be in a hurry, sit down and rest for a while." Shen Que gently patted Jiang Yuemian's shoulder, then helped her sit in a chair, poured her a cup of tea, and then began to tell her what he had seen.
"Father...father is cold to me, as if he doesn't see me as his mother."
Jiang Yuemian stopped drinking her tea and said, "Then let's wait until tomorrow." Tomorrow, the rules of this illusion will be revealed.
......
Jiang Yuemian woke up again, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Shen Que's expectant gaze.
"......"
Who am I now?
Shen Que: "Xiao Die."
Jiang Yuemian finally breathed a sigh of relief, then was surprised to find that Aque was actually her original appearance? What was going on? Could it be that after being in the illusion for a long time, one would be able to see people in their own appearance? Then, would the others notice anything unusual?
Shen Que guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Master, I have already tested it, and no one has been able to detect it."
Jiang Yuemian thought for a moment, and realized that it meant they could all show their true selves.
Jiang Yuemian: "What is A-Que's current identity?"
Hearing Jiang Yuemian's question, Shen Que was a little embarrassed, her face turning slightly red, but she still managed to say, "Master's fiancé, A Tong."
Jiang Yuemian paused, then quickly realized that A-Que was shy. However, given the current situation, it was inconvenient to tease him. But A-Que was just too cute, so Jiang Yuemian couldn't help but kiss his lips before starting to organize the information with Shen Que.
After yesterday's test, the two finally figured out some of the rules of the illusion.
First, no matter who it is, no one can change the original course of events in the environment. For example, when Jiang Yuemian became a saintess, she went to see the fox, and when Shen Que became a saintess, she went to see the fox. In the end, their marriages made the fox realize something was wrong and return to the original state.
Secondly, the two will only change their identities once, taking Jiang Yuemian as an example.
Thirdly, if the direction of the illusion is unchangeable, then the direction of the Saintess's return and the fox's love must be very important. In other words, she and Aque only need to let things take their course and they will be able to find out how they break free from the environment.
Jiang Yuemian felt that this matter must be the key to obtaining the Phoenix Bone.
Having sorted out the clues, the next step was to advance the relationship between the Holy Maiden Gui Ci and the fox.
The two didn't interfere too much with their relationship, but rather played a supporting role. For example, when their clan leader forbade Gui Ci from taking the fox out to play, Gui Ci insisted on doing so. So, this is when Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que would step in. While they played, Shen Que and Jiang Yuemian would keep watch nearby.
Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que sat on the grass, enjoying the warm breeze. For some reason, Jiang Yuemian felt that the air in the place where the Qingyin tribe lived was exceptionally fresh.
As she breathed in the fresh air, she chatted with Shen Que: "Que, I think the Holy Maiden and Senior Shen Gui are mutually attracted and just one step away from getting together." Shen Gui was the fox's name.
After listening, Shen Que looked at his mother and his father, who had transformed into human form, not far away. Both of them were surrounded by pink bubbles. He said, "Hmm."
"Master, after we've resolved the matter with the demons, shall we truly be together? Not as the Demon Lord and Demon Queen, but as your Immortal Lady."
The Immortal Lady...
How can Ah Que be so soft?
Jiang Yuemian couldn't resist any longer and pulled Shen Que into her arms. She lowered her head and tasted his sweet lips. When Jiang Yuemian kissed him, Shen Que's lips parted slightly, as if inviting her. How could Jiang Yuemian restrain herself? She first glanced at Gui Ci and Shen Gui, who had gone from playfully fighting to embracing each other, and then relaxed and continued to talk with Shen Que.
How could she say such sweet words? Jiang Yuemian wished she could swallow Shen Que right there and then. However, the occasion was not right, and the environment was not suitable. Moreover, there were A Que's parents not far away, her parents-in-law. If they were really here, even if A Que agreed, she could not agree.
Therefore, Jiang Yuemian could only endure it, pressing her strength into Shen Que's mouth until Shen Que was breathless from the kiss before she finally let go of him.
Shen Que was also panting heavily, his wet eyes gazing tenderly at Jiang Yuemian, as if to say, "Master, I want more."
“............”
Ah Que is really too greedy.
Jiang Yuemian warned helplessly, "A-Que, be mindful of the occasion."
Shen Que was taken aback at first upon hearing this, then his expression instantly turned aggrieved: "Master...it was clearly you..."
It's clearly because you can't control yourself, how come all of this comes to him?
He said this, but he couldn't help but smile. So what if he seduced his master? Can seduction by someone you like really be called seduction? His master clearly wanted him to seduce her so that she could be unrestrained. He wanted to see his master swayed by him and fall deeply into his honey trap.
Jiang Yuemian also realized what was happening, and then said evasively, "A-Que, don't always seduce me."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Shen Que's eyes had darkened, and she couldn't bear it any longer, so she said, "However, it's okay in private." She decided against it in public, afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist.
Sure enough, upon hearing her say that, Shen Que's eyes instantly brightened even more than before, and he cheerfully hummed in agreement.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Yuemian's eyes darkened again: "Don't stare at me like that in public, or else..."
“Ah Que, you know, I want to grow something.”
