Chapter 786: Revenge
Pavilions and waterside pavilions are hidden among the flowers, trees, mountains, rivers and bridges. A majestic Cuiyun Tower stands out from the graceful and colorful scenery.
The anxious future son-in-law Cheng Sheng paced around Cuiyun Tower with a tormented look on his face, unable to sit down quietly.
"Mr. Cheng, just sit down and relax."
On the observation deck of Cuiyun Tower, a veiled girl was playing with the round and cute fox pill in her hand, and her words were full of joy.
Cheng Sheng stood still and said, "Xuehui...Miss, it's already so late and there's still no news. I'm really worried."
Xuehui is the youngest daughter of the county lord. On the day of the county lord's birthday, she invited all the men of marriageable age from the wealthy families in Haozhou to come.
In addition to celebrating his birthday, he also wanted to find a husband for his most beloved youngest daughter.
Xuehui chose Cheng Sheng among everyone, of course not because she and Cheng Sheng were in love, or because Cheng Sheng was a leader among the young people, but because Cheng Sheng had a treasure in his hand that she could not refuse.
Miss Xuehui never shows her true face to anyone. She always wears a veil when she appears, because of her flawed appearance.
A few years ago, the princess encountered an accident. At the critical moment, Miss Xuehui stepped forward and saved the princess from the disaster, but her appearance was damaged as a result.
In Haozhou, everyone also praises Miss Xuehui's reputation for filial piety.
The princess owed a lot to this daughter and doted on her in every way.
Cheng Sheng's average appearance and the Cheng family's sudden rise to wealth are actually not valued by the princess, and are not Xuehui's best choice.
But Cheng Sheng happened to have a treasure that the mother and daughter could not refuse, a sacred object for preserving youth that would drive all women crazy - that was the elixir in the belly of a fox fairy who had practiced the Purple Fairy Technique, also known as the Charm Pearl.
The charm bead can transform an ugly woman into a celestial beauty, and can even restore a flawed face. One who obtains this bead will be loved forever, and their marriage will be harmonious.
Cheng Sheng first presented a fox fur coat to celebrate the birthday, which outweighed all the other birthday gifts. He then offered the charm beads as a betrothal gift to ask for Miss Xuehui's hand in marriage.
Even though they knew that the fox fur and the charm bead would cause trouble, they still chose Cheng Sheng.
All this was originally what Cheng Sheng had expected. He was supposed to marry the beautiful woman with the charm pearl, get the support of the princess, and turn the Cheng family into a famous and prestigious family in Haozhou that would last for three or even ten generations.
Originally, this charm bead should have brought great favor to the Princess and Miss Xuehui, which could resolve the lifelong knot in their hearts. Such favor was enough to make Miss Xuehui bow her head in front of him and let him take the initiative after marriage.
But now he can only hide in Cuiyun Tower, constantly consuming the favor of the princess and the gratitude he owes to Miss Xuehui.
This shouldn't be the case. How could a group of foxes bring about such a huge disaster?
This feeling of losing control of everything and disrupting all plans made Cheng Sheng very uneasy, and even made it difficult for him to calm down and deal with Miss Xuehui.
Miss Xuehui clutched the charm bead tightly and said with a smile, "You don't know how powerful your aunt is, that's why you're worried. Your aunt has great magical powers and is friends with real immortals. With her around, you'll be fine."
Cheng Sheng forced himself to calm down and asked, "Master Wei is already one of the rare masters of the Tao that I have ever met. How could my aunt be even more powerful than him and even able to communicate among the gods and immortals?"
Miss Xuehui said, "I don't really know much about my aunt. She rarely interacted with us except during festivals. I heard from my father that my aunt once married far away in Beihai, but her husband's family suffered a disaster, and she disappeared. Many years later, my aunt was found again. By then, she had already become an immortal."
"What a wonderful encounter!" Cheng Sheng exclaimed, "I think my aunt must have been led away by the gods."
"That's what we all guessed. I even asked my aunt about it before, but she just smiled and refused to tell me."
"Then I have no doubts in my mind."
Miss Xuehui said, "Besides, Master Wei is very powerful. I think he is more than capable of dealing with future troubles. If all else fails, there is always the method of using someone else as a substitute. Mr. Cheng, just rest assured. It is getting late, so I will go back first."
Cheng Sheng stood up and bowed, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Xuehui."
Miss Xuehui just smiled and turned to walk out of the building.
But as soon as he turned his head, he heard a plop behind him, followed by the screams of the maid and Cheng Sheng's attendant.
"Master!"
Miss Xuehui looked back and saw Cheng Sheng falling to the ground, losing his mind, twitching all over, his body arched up, which was extremely creepy.
Cheng Sheng's attendant went up to hold Cheng Sheng down, but as soon as he touched Cheng Sheng's body, he also screamed and fell to the ground, covering his ears and wailing.
Xue Hui was shocked but remained calm, saying, "Go and get my aunt!"
The maid went in a hurry, but before she could get downstairs, her aunt had already arrived.
This was a very beautiful woman, with long hair covering her face, a gorgeous hairpin in her bun, clothes as light as clouds, and she walked as fast as the wind.
"No need to invite me, I'm already here."
"Aunt, something happened to Cheng Sheng!"
When my aunt came closer, she was surprised and said, "What a powerful trick! He saw through the trick of using someone else as a substitute."
"Aunt, what should we do?"
My aunt said, "Don't panic. This is a curse. I used Cheng Sheng's birth date and blood to perform a substitutionary spell, but he saw through it and used Cheng Sheng's birth date to counter the curse."
"The art of Yan Sheng aims to defeat the opponent by suppressing him. If you encounter a stronger opponent, you will be suppressed. I know who is attacking. He is just a wild fox. Once I call in the Heavenly Fox for help, he will naturally retreat."
My aunt immediately performed a ritual, picked up a brush and drew a talisman, chanted the mantra, burned incense and called on the saint, and shouted: "Please ask the heavenly fox to descend to the world and bring down this fox demon!"
After a while, there was a strong wind.
A beam of white light fell on the Cuiyun Tower, shining on Cheng Sheng. A ghostly figure with white hair and beard appeared in the white light. He took one look at Cheng Sheng and shouted angrily, "You bold fox demon, how dare you harm people with evil magic!"
As he spoke, the phantom of the celestial fox dissipated and turned into a stream of fairy air, which entered Cheng Sheng's nostrils and entangled with the method of winning.
