"Sanniang, no." The Fox King was afraid that Hu Sanniang would lose her mind and force her soul to disappear, so he quickly calmed her down with words: "Sanniang, the Queen Mother never thought of borrowing my son's body to be reborn. It's just that I don't want you to be enslaved by the cultivators, so I came up with this stupid idea."
"Are you serious, Mother?" After hearing what the Fox King said, Hu Sanniang was surprised and happy.
Hu Sanniang thought the Fox King hated her for not living up to her expectations and wanted to replace her. But when she heard the Fox King's words of care amidst his rebuke, how could she not be moved?
"Seriously. Sanniang, silly child, in fact, as long as you refine the soul of the Queen Mother, all the inheritance of our Qingqiu Fox Clan will belong to you, including the secrets of this secret realm." The Fox King sighed and said.
"Mother Queen, Sanniang is reluctant to let you die. Sanniang uses her own body to nourish your soul, thinking that one day, if Sanniang is lucky enough to meet the Nine-tailed Ancestor, she will definitely ask the ancestor to use his magical powers to resurrect you." Hu Sanniang told the Fox King what she was thinking.
"My daughter... is so thoughtful." The usually proud Fox King's voice was choked with sobs. Even if Hu Yue died, she would be happy to have a daughter as filial as Hu Sanniang.
"Sanniang, this secret realm is actually a retreat left by the Nine-tailed Ancestor for our fox clan..." The Fox King babble for more than ten minutes before telling Hu Sanniang the secret of the secret realm in one breath.
After finishing speaking, the Fox King added sheepishly, "Sanniang, our secret will be of great benefit to the cultivators. I believe your master will spare your life for the sake of the secret."
"Let the master let bygones be bygones? I'm afraid... that's not possible!" Hu Sanniang only thought about this in her heart and did not say it out loud to the Fox King.
Having followed Zhou Yuanyuan for so long, how could Hu Sanniang not know her temperament? Zhou Yuanyuan could be very stubborn sometimes. A betrayal was a betrayal. There was no way Zhou Yuanyuan would give up pursuing Hu Sanniang just because of the Fox King's "compensation."
Besides, the Fox King’s secret may seem very important to others, but to Zhou Yuanyuan? Hehehe...
The Fox King had no idea what Hu Sanniang was thinking. After giving instructions for his funeral, he hurried out of the small building to look for Zhou Yuanyuan.
The Fox King finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan standing with her hands behind her back, admiring the scenery not far from the small building.
"My lord, I have something to say." Hu Sanniang opened her lips slightly, but the words that came out were not from Hu Sanniang's slightly sweet voice, but from the Fox King's voice which was cold and a little superior.
"Fox King?" Zhou Yuanyuan frowned.
Had Hu Sanniang already given up her body? In that case, she wouldn't have to keep the Fox King hopping around in front of her. Zhou Yuanyuan felt murderous intent.
"Monk! You can't kill my son. I am willing to use the most important secret of my fox clan in exchange for my son's life." The Fox King's next words made Zhou Yuanyuan let go of the magic that was about to take shape in her hand.
"Sanniang is mine, her life and death are in my hands." Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at the Fox King and said lightly.
This guy, the Fox King, had already betrayed his daughter before, and now he is showing his deep love for his daughter. Isn't it too late?
"Monk, there is a road to heaven in this secret realm. I am willing to tell you how to open the road to heaven in exchange for my son's life. What do you think?" The Fox King came close to Zhou Yuanyuan and said to her in a flattering tone.
"Not good." Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head, her tone sounding desolate.
The road to heaven? If it weren't for the Fox King's motherly love for Hu Sanniang, Zhou Yuanyuan would have wanted the Fox King to go to hell.
"Why?" The Fox King was dumbfounded.
Didn't Sanniang mention that her master came from a prominent family in the immortal realm? How could he be unmoved by the path to heaven? Isn't the goal of cultivators to ascend to immortality?
"No reason, I'm not interested." Zhou Yuanyuan's answer made the Fox King anxious.
"You, you, you, are you still a cultivator? The road to heaven leads directly to the immortal realm. As long as you can walk through it, even if you are just a Qi cultivator, you will become an immortal in the immortal realm!" The Fox Queen's voice became a little sharper. This was the first time she had seen a cultivator like Zhou Yuanyuan who didn't take becoming an immortal seriously.
"I don't want to become an immortal for the time being, so this road to heaven is just useless to me." Zhou Yuanyuan retorted to the Fox King.
Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't lying. She truly didn't want to become an immortal. Her family was all well and truly here! Letting Zhou Yuanyuan become an immortal all by herself? What difference would that make her any different from the lonely person she was in her previous life? Was there something wrong with her brain?
"This, this, this... How can there still be a cultivator like you in this world?" The Fox King was at a loss for words. Aren't all cultivators supposed to cry out for immortality? Zhou Yuanyuan was someone who didn't play by the rules, and the Fox King really had no way of dealing with her.
"Mother Queen, please stop talking. I have said it long ago that the master is different from other cultivators. Please be quiet for a moment, Queen Mother, and let me say goodbye to the master." Hu Sanniang's voice sounded again.
"Hmph!" The Fox King snorted arrogantly and said nothing more.
The Fox King had always been a proud man. Anyway, things had come to this point, with Zhou Yuanyuan at the mercy of her mother and daughter, the Fox King no longer cared about his own fate.
"Master, this is the jade token that controls the secret realm. After Sanniang died, you only need to keep Sanniang's hair and blood. When the day comes that you want to go to the fairyland, you only need to drop Sanniang's hair and blood on the jade token, and the road to heaven will naturally appear." When Hu Sanniang gave her "last words", she was much more straightforward than the Fox King.
Zhou Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and finally looked Hu Sanniang straight in the eye.
"Master, I would like to thank you for your trust. I have been keeping the Secret Realm Jade Plate in your care. Unfortunately, I am too dull to comprehend its secret. It was only when the Queen Mother pointed it out that I was able to learn this great secret. It was not my intention to deceive you. May you attain immortality soon. I bid you farewell." Hu Sanniang's remaining words were disjointed. She was indeed afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan would think she was hiding something; aside from the Fox King incident, she had no second thoughts about Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Well, I believe you." Zhou Yuanyuan nodded.
As Hu Sanniang's master, Zhou Yuanyuan, if she had intended to eavesdrop on the conversation between her and the Fox King, how could she not have heard it? However, this eavesdropping technique consumed a great deal of Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual energy. Therefore, after hearing the Fox King's secret, Zhou Yuanyuan cut off the technique. She did not listen to the subsequent conversation between Hu Sanniang and her daughter.
Hu Sanniang and her daughter would never have dreamed that even if they wanted to keep it a secret, the secret of this road to heaven was no longer a secret to Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Thank you, master. Thank you, master!" Hu Sanniang cried with joy.
