At this moment, she was just an ordinary little fox. As a candidate fox spirit, she had a wish: to save her own life.
She had already promised herself to Jinxian and Yunluo.
At this moment, she was powerless.
In this world, there are many men who, on the surface, like obedient and docile women, but in reality, they just haven't met women with strong personalities.
Yunluo was able to capture Jinxian's heart, and naturally, she could also impress Xuanyuan Lie.
He took a deep sniff of her dark hair, the fragrance stirring his heart, and laughed: "Are you sure you'd let me do whatever I want with such a beast?"
Upon hearing this, Yao'er shook her head frantically.
Having been around the world for so long, how could she not understand what Xuan Yuanlie meant?
Yunluo is Jinxian's wife. Even if she dies, she must leave cleanly and without being defiled.
She frantically pounded on the iron cage, wishing she could just die inside.
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak; we could only tell her with our eyes that we couldn't agree.
Yunluo had made up her mind. She was wise and clear-headed. Now that Xuanyuan Lie was in power, no one in the General's Mansion could escape.
She couldn't save anyone but Yao'er; perhaps there was a glimmer of hope.
Yao'er is spiritually intelligent. Having witnessed what happened to the General's Mansion, she will surely rush to the battlefield and tell Jinxian in her own way.
As long as Jinxian survives, everything will be worthwhile.
He immediately nodded: "Let it go, I will not resist."
Xuan Yuanlie laughed mockingly: "Heh, you and that brat Jin Xian are exactly the same. You'd do anything for a beast."
Yunluo couldn't bear to watch Yao'er banging her head against the cage and bleeding profusely, so she looked away and said, "Xuanyuanlie, just like you said, it's just an animal. Releasing her won't do you any harm."
Xuan Yuanlie laughed wildly, filled with joy, and lifted her chin.
Looking at her stunning beauty, a flame ignited in his eyes: "Very well, let Jinxian watch closely and see what price he paid for a beast, that even his beloved can only submit to me."
Although Yunluo was a courtesan, she had always maintained her chastity. She suppressed her repulsion and her eyes reddened: "Let it go."
"Since the beauty has spoken, I naturally won't make things difficult for that little beast anymore."
After speaking, he looked at the guard, who then opened the cage.
Then, Xuan Yuanlie picked up Yun Luo and carried her into the house. He could hardly wait, and as he walked, he tore at her white dress.
Yao'er chased after them, trying to stop them.
Yunluo looked at her with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with determination: "Yao'er, run quickly, go find Jinxian."
After saying that, she raised her hand and swallowed a poison pill, and blood immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Yao'er was stunned. She hadn't expected that Yunluo's act of saving her was real, while her agreement to Xuanyuan Lie's indecent acts was fake. And just like that, she died in front of her.
Xuan Yuanlie threw her to the ground, drew his sword from the side, and angrily plunged it into her chest: "You wretch!"
Yunluo is dead.
For her, and for Jinxian.
She knew that if she didn't find Jinxian, he would die too...
She ran desperately, dodging countless arrows, recalling the map Jin Xian had looked at on the eve of the campaign, and headed south until she finally found Jin Xian's camp on a battlefield where blood flowed like a river.
Everyone knows that there is a fiery red fox in the General's mansion, who is deeply loved by the General and his wife.
No one dared to stop them.
By the time it reached the commander's tent, it was completely exhausted.
Upon seeing this, Jin Xian's brow twitched, and he quickly stepped forward, picking her up from the ground. His phoenix eyes were filled with shock: "Yao'er?"
He knew that Yao'er was a clean freak; she loved her snow-white fur the most and would clean it several times a day. Unless something major had happened, she would never allow her fur to remain so dirty.
She jumped from his arms onto the table next to him.
All of them are available: writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Unable to hold a pen, she could only use her paws to step into the inkstone and draw the current state of the General's Mansion on the paper.
Those watching were stunned by what they saw.
No one expected that a fox, just an animal, could actually communicate with humans.
Although the drawing on the paper was not very clear, it depicted a simplified general's mansion, with a person lying on the ground, biting their claws and covered in blood.
Anyone can see the meaning behind this abstract painting.
Something happened at the general's mansion; everyone is dead.
Yao'er thought of Yunluo's death, lay on the painting, tears welling in her eyes, overwhelmed with grief.
Upon seeing this, Jin Xian's expression changed drastically. Looking at the little fox's pained appearance, one could imagine that the General's Mansion was now a living hell.
He stepped forward and picked up Yao'er: "Where's Yunluo? Where is Yunluo?"
It shook its head, nestled in his arms, and fainted.
Jin Xian sent someone to the capital to inquire, and everything became clear.
Xuan Yuanlie found the body of the Thirteenth Prince in the General's Mansion and convicted the entire mansion. All the dozens of people in the mansion were killed, except for General Jin Xian, who was fighting outside.
Xuanyuan Lie declared that as long as Jinxian returned victorious and relinquished his military power, he would be treated leniently.
At the same time, the emperor fell ill, and Xuanyuan Lie took over the reins of government.
However, the emperor died within ten days, and Xuanyuan Lie ascended the throne.
Jin Xian was brave and resourceful, and there was no way he would serve the person who killed his entire family. He secretly went south and stirred up a bloody storm in the capital.
In just one night, the dynasty was overthrown.
Xuanyuan Lie assassinated the Thirteenth Prince and framed the General's Mansion, and also drugged the late Emperor in an attempt to seize the throne. His crimes deserve to be punished by death.
As a Pillar of State General, Jin Xian was granted a token by the late emperor, which gave him the power to remonstrate with the tyrannical ruler and execute treacherous officials, including the execution of Xuan Yuanlie.
Supporting the Second Prince Xuanyuan He, ten days later, Xuanyuan He ascended the throne, appointing Jin Xian as Assistant Minister and Protector General, and posthumously granting Yun Luo the title of First-Rank Lady.
Jinxian still lives in the General's Mansion, where she and the fox stay together for the rest of their lives.
Finally, at the age of thirty, Jinxian was granted immortality and became a fox spirit.
The Jade Emperor wanted to bestow a name upon her, but she politely declined and told him that her name was Yao'er.
She descended to the mortal realm to find Jin Xian, while he frantically searched for her throughout the capital, posting notices about the Red Fox everywhere.
She then realized that over the long years, Jin Xian had long regarded her as an indispensable part of his life.
She transformed back into a little fox and ran to the general's mansion.
Only then did she realize that a day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth. In that year, Jin Xian fell seriously ill and no longer recognized anyone.
When the imperial physician saw her return, he excitedly said to him, "General, Yao'er is back, she's back!"
Jin Xian seemed to come back to his senses, looked at her, and said, "Come here, come into my arms."
Yao'er jumped into his arms, hating herself for leaving, which dealt him the final blow. She lay on his chest, afraid to move, using her immortal energy to sustain his life.
But he was determined to die, and she was powerless to stop him.
Even so, Jin Xian remained stunningly beautiful, her inherent elegance undeniable.
He pinched Yao'er's ear and spoke of what would happen after his death.
