Lin Jingting frowned as she looked her over, guessing, "You possessed them, didn't you!"
Mentioning this, Chu Nian couldn't help but feel a little lost, and said helplessly, "I didn't use magic to enter their bodies myself. Besides, I wouldn't stoop to such a thing as possession, and there's no need for it. If I don't have a physical body, I can just cultivate as a ghost."
"I don't know what's going on with this situation. How did your underworld determine my condition?"
Lin Jingting remained silent: All systems in the underworld are showing data errors!
This matter baffled him. Even the magic pen in his hand couldn't make any judgment about this woman.
"Little Lin," Chu Nian's voice carried a hint of earnestness, which caught Lin Jingting's attention, "It's better for you to forget me. But how could you forget Little Lin?"
Lin Jingting frowned slightly in exasperation and said, "I've already said, I don't know any Little Lin." After saying that, he stood up, put his hands on Chu Nian's shoulders, and turned her around so that her back was to him.
Chu Nian asked in bewilderment, "Little Lin, if you don't know me, you don't know me, why did you push me?" Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her buttocks, and then her body was thrown into the air like a kite with a broken string...
Lin Jingting clapped his hands, feeling relieved to have sent this troublesome thing back to its original state, when suddenly he heard the computer on his desk make a sound.
He sat back in his office chair, pinched his temples in exasperation, and muttered helplessly, "Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?" Then he clicked the mouse.
He wouldn't usually be approached for ordinary matters; if he were, something serious must have happened. So, even though he was incredibly annoyed, he still had to hear what his subordinates wanted from him.
Cui Yu's voice came from the speaker: "Your Majesty, the soul of Hu Tiantian, an elder of the Qingqiu Fox Clan in the Spirit Realm, has just been automatically transferred to the Underworld."
"What?" Lin Jingting was shocked upon hearing this. "Doesn't that Hu Tiantian still have a lifespan of three thousand years?"
Since the soul was automatically transported to the underworld, it must have died. Without the special magic of the Northern Emperor, it would not be able to be brought back to life.
Cui Yu said, "Who says otherwise? However, after investigating the cause of her death, I discovered that she was actually killed by the Fox Clan's Imperial Seal..."
Lin Jingting was even more surprised: "The Imperial Seal? Bai Jiuxiao?"
“No.” Cui Yu said, then fell silent.
Lin Jingting asked in bewilderment, "Who else could it be but Bai Jiuxiao?"
Cui Yu remained silent for a while before saying, "That Hu Tiantian insists that the paper doll you sent killed her with the Imperial Seal. It seems that no one in the Spirit Realm knows this paper doll technique. No, just now, there seemed to be a display on the Spirit Mountain in the Spirit Realm that someone had used a similar paper doll technique..."
While they were discussing the case, Chu Nian's body had already broken through the boundaries and returned to the spirit realm that the two officials of the underworld had mentioned. The landing point was the location that Lin Jingting had set for her before she traveled to the underworld.
So, while Liu Ying was discussing the poem written on Chu Nian's paper figure with Nan Hua and Yin Shan Jun, she heard a still somewhat childish girl's voice coming from afar: "Ah..."
Everyone looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a small figure rapidly enlarging before their eyes. Since none of them were ordinary people, even though the little figure flew in very quickly, they all recognized it as Liu Nian, who had just left.
Liu Ying asked in surprise, "Why did she come back again?"
Yin Shanjun immediately noticed something was off and, suppressing a laugh, teased, "It's just that the way you ride the wind is a bit unusual!"
Chu Nian saw that the four people below were all looking up at her with their big, blinking eyes, staring at her like curious children. She couldn't help but mentally curse Lin Jingting's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Fortunately, Chu Nian had already been flying for a moment after being thrown out of the underworld, and she was already able to release her spiritual power to control the wind. Therefore, she stopped herself in time just before landing and landed steadily.
Yin Shanjun laughed and said, "May I ask, Miss Liu Nian, where have you been? You actually flew back like this!"
Chu Nian said irritably, "I went to the Hengdian Palace. That's where it's fashionable to fly around horizontally. Is it any of your business?"
"Oh," Yin Shanjun said with a curious look, "I have lived for a thousand years and have never heard of such a place. Would you be so kind as to take us to visit that Hengdian Palace?"
Chu Nian: "No."
Seeing that Yin Shanjun was quite enthusiastic towards Chu Nian, Bai Jiuxiao became angry and asked Liu Ying, "Yingying, now that everyone in the Liu family knows that you are a fox spirit, are you going back to Qingqiu with me or to your father?"
Liu Ying said with a wronged expression, "Mother, Fifth Sister has announced in the Liu family that I am a fox spirit. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to stay in the Liu family any longer." After saying that, she glanced at Chu Nian with red eyes and a very aggrieved look.
Chu Nian said, "The Liu family also knows that I am a fox spirit's tail. I'm afraid I can't stay in the Liu family any longer. It just so happens that I have something to do in Qingqiu. I'll take my leave now."
Bai Jiuxiao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, and he asked, "What are you going to Qingqiu for?"
Chu Nian retorted, "Is it any of your business?"
Bai Jiuxiao: "I am the Queen of Qingqiu."
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "You're the Empress of Qingqiu? Do you have any proof?"
"I..." Bai Jiuxiao suddenly remembered that his imperial seal had been swallowed by that lecherous man under Chu Nian, and shouted: "Liu Nian, don't think that just because you took my imperial seal you can go to Qingqiu and do whatever you want."
Master Nanhua exclaimed in shock, "Nine Flute, what do you mean by that?"
Bai Jiuxiao said helplessly, "This Liu Nian has a demon under his command whose true form is unknown. He swallowed my imperial seal."
Master Nan Hua said urgently, "Don't you know what the Imperial Seal is? It's not something that any demon can just swallow as it pleases!"
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Judging from how anxious Master Nanhua is, he must know the secret of the Imperial Seal."
Master Nanhua was speechless for a moment.
Bai Jiuxiao said, "Nanhua, you don't need to be anxious. Apart from my Fox Clan royal family, no one else can use the Imperial Seal. Holding it in your hand is just like having a piece of waste stone."
Nan Hua sighed and said, "I don't want to see Qingqiu, which has stood for thousands of years, change in your generation."
Bai Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Nanhua, what are you saying? You make it sound like I'm an empress about to lose her country."
Chu Nian pursed her lips, then took to the air and headed towards Qingqiu. She had just received messages from Tuoba Hongyuan and Lan Dian, saying that several elders of the fox clan had disobeyed and had been killed by them.
Unexpectedly, this attracted interference from outsiders, and these newcomers seemed quite formidable. Tuoba Hongyuan and Lan Dian might not be able to handle them.
Therefore, Chu Nian decided to go there and see what was going on.
