Just as Su Man was about to close her eyes and open them again in joy at having an eight-tailed fox, a gentle voice rang out, "Chief, this child is not yet at the stage where he needs to have his tail cut off."
Zi Xiangli turned around and saw the person coming, and asked in a surprised tone, "Elder Lanli?"
When Su Man heard the name, she felt it sounded familiar.
Lan Li, Master Lan Li.
By the way, she is Shi Hongyu's mother and Shi Man's aunt. When Shi Man was first driven out of the fox clan, she was the only one who gave her a bag of food to prevent her from starving to death.
Zi Xiangli was surprised to see Elder Lanli. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox lineage lived in the hills like the Fox Clan, they were a separate faction. Younger children like Shi Hongyu were fine, but elders like Shi Lanli rarely socialized. Why did he suddenly show up?
Hearing Zi Xiangli's question, Elder Lan Li smiled slightly, "Yu'er told me when she got home, so I came to see if I could be of any help."
"Is that so? Elder Lanli is thoughtful." Although Zi Xiangli said this, she looked at Elder Lanli with her eyes, obviously not believing it.
However, Long Junling couldn't wait any longer. He stepped in between the two of them and asked, "What did you mean when you said Shi Man wouldn't be cut off? Do you have a way to save her?"
Facing Long Junling's questioning, Elder Lan Li said in a good-tempered manner, "Yes, I have a way to relieve the evil spirit in her body."
As soon as these words came out, Long Junling's brows relaxed immediately, but he didn't express any gratitude. He just asked, "What do you want?"
Elder Lan Li smiled and said, "I want you to go out."
Long Junling???
Elder Lan Li added, "No one should be present during the rescue. Please move outside and wait."
Zi Xiangli and Qingli left happily, but Long Junling was a little unhappy. However, thinking that Elder Lanli could activate Su Man, he endured it.
...
Su Man closed her eyes and couldn't see, but she could hear the room become quiet.
Then, a delicate touch touched her cheek, and at the same time, a sigh sounded, "Ah, poor child."
Poor child, are you talking about her?
Before Su Man could figure it out, Elder Lanli began to cast a spell.
Soon, the restless ghost energy and demonic power in her body calmed down.
Su Man felt as if her body was wrapped in soft velvet, soft, warm and safe, as if she had returned to the mother's womb.
In this state, Suman fell asleep easily.
Elder Lanli also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the restless ghost energy in Su Man's body had subsided.
"Go to sleep, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Elder Lan Li spoke softly as she pulled down the quilt to cover Su Man. Suddenly, she saw the ring on Su Man's hand.
She was stunned for a moment, then carefully took Su Man's hand. When she confirmed that this was Shi Qingwu's relic, tears flashed in her eyes.
"Qingwu, why are you doing this?"
This sentence sounded like a lament, and in the end, only a sigh remained.
-
Su Man slept very deeply and her head was still a little dizzy when she woke up.
Just as she was about to move her numb arm, she discovered that there was another person in the room.
Shi Hongyu was sitting on the ground beside a stone table a few steps away, cracking melon seeds. The crisp "crackling" sound of the melon seed shells splitting came one after another.
Not only was she eating melon seeds, she was also muttering, "Let me take care of her? Ha, she doesn't deserve it. If it weren't for marrying into the Celestial Clan, I wouldn't take care of her."
Suman???
Are you sure you are taking care of me and not melon seeds?
Just as Su Man was about to show some respect, another person came in from outside.
Seeing the person coming, Shi Hongyu swallowed the melon seeds in her mouth and said, "Chief."
Zi Xiangli looked at the melon seed shells stuck to Shi Hongyu's lips and said angrily, "I asked you to work with Long Junling to take care of Shi Man and improve your relationship, but you're just eating melon seeds here."
"He's not here, if he were here I would do as you taught me."
After hearing this, Su Man understood and finally knew who taught Shi Hongyu all those skills.
Zi Xiangli looked around and asked, "Where is Long Junling? Where did he go?"
"Oh, he said he had something to do and had to leave for a while."
"Okay, since Shi Man is still here, I don't have to worry about him not coming back."
"Click"
Shi Hongyu said while eating melon seeds, "Yes, I will get close to him when he comes back."
Seeing her like this, Zi Xiangli was both angry and amused. She stretched out her finger and poked her forehead. "You said you wanted to marry into the Celestial Clan, but look at you now. You don't have even a bit of the Fox Clan's charm. You're not even as good as Shi Man."
"Huh, how can she compare to me?"
Shi Hongyu said disdainfully, "Besides, since you, the clan leader, have passed on the fox tribe's charm technique to me, I can naturally make Long Junling bow down to my fox fur."
“…”
Charm.
Su Man's heart moved. She was worrying about how to control Long Junling. If she had the help of the fox clan's charm, it would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.
It is said that foxes are naturally charming, but that is only the most superficial carnal desire. As the leader of the fox clan, Zi Xiangli must not have taught Shi Hongyu common ways.
Sure enough, what the two said next also confirmed this.
"I'm just passing on the technique to you, but whether you can find an opportunity to use it depends on you."
"I know."
It happened that Shi Hongyu had finished eating the melon seeds in her pocket. She touched her empty pocket and said, "Chief, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
"Ruby!"
Zi Xiangli didn't call out to Shi Hongyu, but frowned, "This kid."
Just when she was about to go out and ask someone to look after Suman, she suddenly heard a voice.
"Chief."
