As soon as the incantation was uttered, Bai Jiuxiao felt a strange sense of submission welling up in his heart, and he wanted to immediately submit to the person holding the imperial seal.
As she was wondering what was going on, she noticed that Liu Ying had already knelt down first, and the rest of the fox clan members also knelt down and prostrated themselves, even Hu Tiantian, who had always supported her, was no exception.
Seeing this, Master Nanhua was surprised and turned to look at Lord Yinshan: Although he knew that the Fox Clan Imperial Seal was not simple, he did not know that it had this function.
Yin Shanjun sighed helplessly at Nan Hua, meaning: Look, it seems that this little girl is more knowledgeable and familiar with the use of the imperial seal!
Bai Jiuxiao ultimately couldn't resist the power of the Imperial Seal and got up to kneel down before Chu Nian.
Yin Shanjun felt that the situation was already settled, and whether or not he watched the show was irrelevant. He quietly approached Lin Jingting, blinked his gossipy eyes, and whispered, "Jingting-jun, what's your relationship with that little fox holding the imperial seal?"
Lin Jingting: "It's okay."
Yin Shanjun: "How is that possible? How did you get into Qingqiu? Weren't you stopped by the barrier? Nanhua and I were entangled for quite a while."
Lin Jingting remained silent: They didn't encounter any obstacles when they came!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Nian, who was holding the imperial seal and receiving the worship of the foxes, with some doubt.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shanjun asked out of curiosity, "Miss Liu Nian, why were we blocked by the barrier when we came, but not when Jingtingjun came?"
Lin Jingting retorted, "When did I say I wasn't obstructed?"
Yin Shanjun: "What's stopping you?"
Lin Jingting fell silent again.
Yin Shanjun: "I can tell from your expression that you didn't encounter any obstacles."
Lin Jingting was speechless for a moment, her face flushed as she turned to look at the void.
Chu Nian found it quite amusing, but she didn't want to embarrass Lin Jingting any further, so she said, "I think this barrier might only be for people in the mortal realm. That's why people from the underworld didn't encounter any obstacles when they came in."
Yin Shanjun: "Didn't you set it up?"
Chu Nian blinked her big, innocent eyes and said with certainty, "No!"
Cui Yu couldn't help but say, "What Yin Shanjun said makes no sense. Do you think that Miss Liu Nian was prescient and knew in advance that we would come, so she made this special arrangement?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingting was immediately enraged. She quickly coughed twice and said, "We, the people of the underworld, have finished our business here and should return." She vowed to teach Cui Yu a lesson when they got back—no one would think she was mute if she didn't speak!
Chu Nian quickly said, "I really didn't know that people from the underworld would come." She had made a special setting: the barrier would temporarily fail when Xiao Linzi and Xiao Xiao Lin arrived.
After saying that, she added, fearing that others wouldn't believe her, "This is ultimately a matter for Qingqiu itself."
Yin Shanjun glared at her and said, "You don't need to explain in such a hurry."
Chu Nian: "I'm not in a hurry."
Yin Shanjun stopped Lin Jingting, who was about to leave, and said helplessly, "Jingting-jun, don't you have anything to explain about sending someone to impersonate you at the three-person gathering before?"
Lin Jingting sighed helplessly and said, "It was indeed my fault. I was just considering what kind of crisis the abnormal movement of the soul might bring to this realm, and I was afraid that Zhao Feiyang was too weak to control the situation, so I resorted to this tactic."
Chu Nian laughed and said, "See, I told you he thought that was what he was thinking back then, and I was right."
Lin Jingting glared at her speechlessly: Can you please stop talking?
"Let's go!" Lin Jingting said to his subordinates, and led them away quickly. Who knew what kind of trouble they would cause if they stayed any longer?
Chu Nian had long since stopped activating the Imperial Seal, and its control over the fox clan had vanished. Seeing the people from the Underworld leave, Hu Tian floated over in a flash, shouting, "Your Majesty, please wait! I am not satisfied with the way you and Liu Nian have treated me. I want revenge! I want justice for my death..."
But the people from the underworld had already disappeared through the boundary stone.
She was already enveloped by a strange energy and was suddenly swept back into the body of the newly appeared red fox.
She tried to crawl out again, but this time she couldn't get out no matter what she said.
She tried it, and the red fox was exactly the same as her original body, still retaining its years of cultivation. She truly felt like she had been resurrected.
"How is this possible? This body..." Hu Tiantian said in astonishment, looking at Chu Nian in disbelief.
Chu Nian sneered and said, "I just added my fox fur inside. It can be used with the Imperial Seal to 'trace bloodlines and inherit in reverse'."
The red fox she created earlier was created using the same magic she used to create human bodies from magic beans to supply the Lake Star people. However, she has now added the reverse inheritance technique of the Imperial Seal.
Hu Tiantian stared at Chu Nian in utter shock.
Chu Nian turned to Tuoba Hongyuan and said, "Even if you like both of these women, you can only choose one," pointing to Hu Tiantian and Bai Jiuxiao, "because they are mother and daughter."
These words shocked all the foxes present.
Bai Jiuxiao was clearly born to the previous Fox Emperor and Fox Queen, so how could she be Hu Tiantian's daughter? Moreover, if she wasn't of royal blood, she would never have recognized the Imperial Seal as her master before.
Tuoba Hongyuan suddenly realized, "No wonder Hu Tiantian supported Bai Jiuxiao to the death; it turns out Bai Jiuxiao is her daughter."
Master Nanhua was extremely horrified. The reason he was on good terms with Qingqiu was because of his connection with the previous generation, especially the Fox Queen, who was actually the object of his true love all along.
However, the Fox Emperor was his friend, and after learning that the two were in love, he did not express his love to the Fox Queen, and maintained a very deep and appropriate friendship with both of them.
Master Nanhua asked Chu Nian, "What exactly is going on?"
Chu Nian: "I don't know either. However, through the Imperial Seal, I can know that Hu Tiantian and I are direct blood relatives. This is why I was able to use the Imperial Seal to perform the technique of 'bloodline tracing and reverse inheritance'. Although I am just a tail, I was also born of Bai Jiuxiao. Therefore, it can be determined that Bai Jiuxiao was born of Hu Tiantian."
Bai Jiuxiao asked in bewilderment, "How could the Imperial Seal have so many uses? Why have I never known about it? No, I should say that even my father, the previous Fox Emperor, seemed to be unaware of its uses."
Chu Nian sneered, "How do you know that the previous Fox Emperor didn't know it had these uses?"
Bai Jiuxiao: "If you knew, you would definitely have taught me. Regardless of whether I was born to the Fox Queen, I am still the Fox Emperor's biological daughter."
Chu Nian burst into laughter after hearing this, and said, "I am still Liu Tuan's biological daughter, but he still wants to kill me so that Liu Ying can gather the nine tails?"
