The general and his wife mainly felt that this concubine's daughter, Liu Nian, was too outrageous. If they, as the masters, did not step in, it would inevitably lead to Liu Nian, and even the other concubines and illegitimate children in the entire mansion, looking down on them.
As for Liu Ying, she was convinced that Chu Nian would not fare well with Bai Jiuxiao's arrival, so she naturally followed along to watch the spectacle.
When Chu Nian saw Bai Jiuxiao walk in aggressively, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Oh, Aunt Bai, you have such a strong aura. But no matter how strong your aura is, aren't you still just a concubine in this Liu family? No, it seems you haven't gone through the marriage ceremony yet, so you can only be considered a maidservant."
Bai Jiuxiao was so angry at those words that he almost fainted. He shouted, "How dare you!"
Chu Nian sneered, "Although I am a concubine's daughter in this household, a concubine's daughter is still a daughter. According to the rules, you, as a maidservant, should pay my respects!"
Bai Jiuxiao raised her hand and slapped Chu Nian across the face. However, the slap wouldn't land no matter how hard she tried, as an invisible force blocked her hand.
Chu Nian laughed and said, "There are rules for concubines!" As she spoke, she raised her hand and knocked the teacup on the table away, which hit Bai Jiuxiao right in the back of his knee.
Her knees ached, and her legs went weak, causing her to kneel down in front of Chu Nian with a thud.
"Mother!" Liu Ying was startled and rushed over to help Bai Jiuxiao up. But she couldn't get him up no matter how many times she tried.
Cold sweat poured down Bai Jiuxiao's forehead as he gritted his teeth and demanded, "Who exactly are you?"
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You should know best who I am. I am the ninth tail that your daughter Liu Ying lost!"
Bai Jiuxiao: "That's impossible. I know my own daughter better than anyone. Her ninth tail doesn't have such a powerful ability."
Chu Nian said, "That's right. But the ninth tail not only awakened its intelligence and gained its own soul, but it was also able to reincarnate and become a real person. She is no longer the ninth tail that fell from a nine-tailed fox."
The more Madam Li listened, the more uneasy she felt. And what was going on with Concubine Bai kneeling there? She glared at Liu Tuan fiercely, her voice stern, and asked, "Niannian, what exactly is going on?"
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Madam still doesn't know what's going on! Well then, as her daughter, I'll tell you the truth: the Third Miss Liu Ying, whom you've always cherished, is Bai Jiuxiao's daughter."
Our Aunt Bai Jiuxiao is quite a remarkable figure—no, I mean, a demon. She is the Empress of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Presumably, Liu Ying will inherit her throne someday.”
Li: "The fox clan?"
Chu Nian: "Yes, they call themselves fox spirits, but they are actually fox demons, fox spirits."
"A fox demon?!" Li Shi turned her head to look at Liu Tuan in extreme fear and anger, then fainted, whether from anger or fright, it was unclear.
When the young ladies and gentlemen saw that she had fainted, they rushed over and hurriedly carried her away.
Li wasn't truly unconscious; she simply felt that staying in this situation would only cause her trouble—trouble she couldn't handle—so she pretended to be. However, as her children carried her away, she secretly opened her eyes a crack and discovered that Liu Ying hadn't even given her a second glance, sending a chill down her spine.
Over the years, she had treated Liu Ying very well, if not like her own daughter, raising her from a toddler to adulthood. Now that she herself had fainted, she acted as if she hadn't even seen her. She used to find Liu Ying obedient and adorable, truly likable, but she never imagined that Liu Ying could be such a heartless person.
Liu Ying acted as if she hadn't seen Li Shi faint. Now that her mother had arrived, she knew she wouldn't be staying in the Liu family for long. Besides, after today, everyone would know she was a fox spirit, not a human, and no one knew how they would treat her. She had no need to please the Liu family anymore.
She shouted angrily at Chu Nian: "You're not even a vixen, you're just a tail that fell off me!"
Chu Nian laughed again and said, "Yeah, so what? You want to destroy me, then turn me back into your tail and stick me back to you? You're dreaming! You fell from your mother's body, why don't you go back into your mother's body?"
Liu Ying shouted, "How can that be the same?"
Chu Nian: "How is it different? Now that I have awakened my intelligence, I am an independent spirit. None of you have the right to demand that I give up myself. You also have no right to destroy me to fulfill your own desires."
"You..." Liu Ying wanted to argue, but Bai Jiuxiao stopped her.
Bai Jiuxiao transmitted his voice to her: "Arguing with her is pointless. Go and invite Master Nanhua quickly."
This Master Nanhua was a patriarch of the Taoist sect, highly skilled in exorcising demons and monsters. He had always been on good terms with Qingqiu and held a very important position in the immortal realm. Bai Jiuxiao, unable to subdue Chu Nian, thought of Master Nanhua.
The Taoist arts of Master Nanhua are naturally effective against demons. With his arrival, this fox-tail demon will likely have to reveal its true form immediately, at which point Liu Ying will be able to easily reclaim it.
Because of his good relationship with Qingqiu, Liu Ying had been secretly taken care of by Nan Hua Zhenren since she was a child, even though she had lived in the human world. So when she heard Bai Jiuxiao say this, she immediately got up and used the fox clan's immortal magic to ride the wind and leave.
Chu Nian knew they would call for reinforcements. Honestly, the more people who came, the better. What was she afraid of? With so many foreign tribes present, it would be perfect for them to give a good judgment.
Moreover, Chu Nian felt that he rarely traveled to the cultivation world, so it would be quite difficult for him to meet a true god.
Speaking of Lou Qianzong, whom she met in the interstellar world, and Lin Jingting, the Northern Emperor, whom she met last time, she felt that they had already formed divine bodies. However, apart from these few, Chu Nian had not encountered any other gods, and she was really curious about this: she subjectively ignored that "little donkey".
“Aunt Bai,” Chu Nian said calmly, “you can kneel here and reflect on your mistakes for now. You can get up when you realize your wrongdoing.” With that, she walked towards the bedroom.
Upon seeing this, Liu Tuan roared, "Liu Nian, what are you doing? Jiu Xiao is your elder..."
"How dare you, a man, enter the women's quarters so casually! Get out!" Chu Nian's voice suddenly turned stern as she spoke, and at the same time, an invisible magical force burst forth, throwing Liu Tuan away.
Liu Tuan was once again thrown out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Chu Nian returned to her bedroom.
Bai Jiuxiao remained kneeling in the outer room, completely unable to move. She was horrified, not knowing what kind of magic could keep her, the fox queen, trapped indefinitely.
