"What...what are you saying?" Aunt Liu asked in horror. "That Liu Ying is...a vixen?"
Chu Nian: "Liu Ying is actually a female fox born to Bai Jiuxiao, the Queen of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and may inherit the throne of the Queen in the future."
Aunt Liu: "What is the Qingqiu Fox Clan? And what is the Empress?"
Chu Nian: "Qingqiu is a kingdom, just like our Qingwu Kingdom. The difference is that our Qingwu Kingdom is a kingdom of humans, while Qingqiu is a kingdom of foxes. The emperor there is a woman, a female fox named Bai Jiuxiao, hence she is called the Empress."
Aunt Liu exclaimed in horror, "Niannian, how do you know so much?"
Chu Nian: "Because I remembered some things from when I was the Nine-Tailed Fox." How could she remember? Even the original owner couldn't remember, how could she? She was just making things up.
Aunt Liu said with a hint of sorrow, "Well, speaking of which, you are actually also the empress's child, I...I..."
Chu Nian: "She only wants to bring me back into Liu Ying's body, just like Liu Tuan, she only wants to kill me."
Aunt Liu cried heartbrokenly, "How could Master do this? You are his own flesh and blood! Besides, Master has already sent men to surround this place. How are you going to escape?"
"You don't need to worry about me," Chu Nian said calmly. "But you need to leave here as soon as possible. Jin..." As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a woman with a tall, slender figure and a sallow complexion appeared out of thin air.
Jin was Tuoba Hongyuan's first wife. After Chu Nian released her from his spatial artifact, she immediately bowed to Chu Nian and addressed him as "Master."
Chu Nian nodded and said, "Take Aunt Liu away from the Liu residence and find a nice and quiet courtyard in the capital to buy and stay there temporarily." After saying that, he gave her two gold ingots.
"Yes," Jin replied.
Aunt Liu was startled when she saw the gold ingots and said, "Niannian, where did you get so much money?"
Chu Nian didn't answer, but waved for Jin to take Aunt Liu away. She had traveled to more than one ancient world, and besides, gold wasn't only found in ancient times, so Chu Nian had saved up quite a bit.
Jin pulled Aunt Liu along and said, "Let's go!"
Aunt Liu said urgently, "No, I want to stay with my daughter."
Jin: "Your presence here will only be a burden to the master."
Aunt Liu looked at Chu Nian.
Chu Nian nodded and said, "That's right." She wanted to wait for the empress to arrive and see her strength.
After thinking it over, Aunt Liu finally decided to go with Jin.
Seeing the courtyard gate open, the captain of the guards responsible for guarding the place quickly raised his spear to block the entrance and shouted, "The general has ordered that no one may enter without his permission..." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind in front of his face, and the two women, one tall and one short, who had been standing at the entrance, had disappeared.
The captain looked around blankly and asked the guard beside him, "Where are those two women?"
The guards also noticed that the two women had vanished in a flash, and their faces turned deathly pale.
When the captain asked, Bingwei shook his head and said, "I felt a strange wind rise, and then they disappeared."
Another soldier asked, "Captain, did you hear the Fifth Miss singing in this courtyard just now?"
The captain, recalling the strange singing from before, looked quite grim. He sent a guard to report to Liu Tuan. They remained there, but each of them was somewhat terrified.
Liu Tuan heard that even with the heavy encirclement, two women had vanished like a gust of wind. One was Aunt Liu, but the other was not the Fifth Miss Liu Nian. The guards did not recognize the woman either. They only saw that the woman's face was ashen. Although she did not look ugly, her face looked like that of a female ghost.
Liu Tuan had never seen this woman before. He remembered Bai Jiuxiao telling him that the nine-tailed fox had reincarnated after it gained sentience, which meant it hadn't been very active before its reincarnation. So how could it have met other demons?
Filled with doubts, Liu Tuan stormed into Chu Nian's courtyard, kicking down the door to try and enter the bedroom. However, he was blocked at the bedroom door by an invisible force, and was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily at the doorway. He fell flat on his back in front of the guards, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the soldiers ate dirt and melons, they saw General Liu, who had once been so imposing in their eyes, lying on the ground twitching a few times. He was clearly injured. When they saw that he hadn't moved for a while, they were about to go over to see what was wrong when they saw him suddenly sit up.
"You unfilial son, how dare you set up a barrier to block and even beat your father!" Liu Tuan shouted angrily, pointing into the courtyard.
A woman's mocking voice came from inside the house: "Pah! You villain who wants to kill me, what kind of father are you to me!"
Seeing that the guards were looking at him strangely after hearing this, Liu Tuan quickly said, "You're a demon, am I wrong to kill you?"
Chu Nian laughed and said, "A demon? Speaking of demons, Liu Ying is the real demon!"
Just then, a cold, sharp female voice rang out from the void: "A lowly demon dares to slander my daughter! Die now!"
The one speaking was Bai Jiuxiao, the Queen of Qingqiu, who had received Liu Ying's message. Although Qingqiu was far away, Bai Jiuxiao's power would allow her to arrive in a short time.
As they spoke, a woman dressed in white, with an exceptionally beautiful face and an extraordinary air of elegance appeared before them. Because of the woman's powerful aura, everyone felt a sense of oppression and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her.
“Nine Flutes…” Liu Tuan called out with some sorrow, tears streaming down his face, as if someone had bullied his family and now they had finally found their pillar of support.
It was clearly the original owner of this body who was bullied by your family!
"You monster, come out and face your death!" Bai Jiuxiao shouted coldly, and then a powerful palm strike blasted towards the small courtyard.
The soldiers felt their breath catch in their throats, as if the wind was howling like thunder, with a deafening roar. They unconsciously turned to look at the small courtyard. But the courtyard stood motionless, as if protected by a deity.
Bai Jiuxiao sensed a powerful barrier above the courtyard that blocked her strong palm strike, which puzzled her.
Then, with a creak, the door opened. The door, which had been kicked open by Liu Tuan but had closed automatically after he was thrown back by the barrier, suddenly opened, and a person walked out of the door.
Everyone couldn't help but scrutinize him. He was tall and handsome, with a bald head and blue eyes. His clothing was peculiar. He smiled before even speaking, and his slender fingers formed an orchid shape as he pointed at Bai Jiuxiao and said, "Beautiful lady, my master asked me to pass on a message to you. You yourself are a demon, so stop calling others demons. It makes it seem like you, a demon, look down on your own identity. It'll only make you a laughingstock."
