Chapter 239: Chen Zhao's Recognition of Relatives
Everyone felt embarrassed that someone actually called himself a grandson. Even Uncle Big Ear looked at him as if he was a freak.
"We are all descendants of fox fairies, please don't try to establish a relationship with us." Uncle Big Ears said slowly.
"I'm not the descendant you're talking about!" Chen Zhaozhi quickly transformed into a white fox, but stood upright like a human, pulling his fur to show Uncle Big Ear, "Look, I have the same white fur as the fox fairy."
"There are so many white foxes in the world. Are they all the grandchildren of the Fox Fairy?" Uncle Big Ears impatiently grabbed him and threw him towards the stone gate. "Hurry up and go. If you keep talking nonsense, I will not be polite to you."
Chen Zhaozhi still didn't give up. He had finally come here and almost lost his life several times along the way. It was impossible for him to leave without seeing the fox fairy.
"I'm not lying!" he interrupted. "I'm the offspring of a white fox princess and a human. My mother's name is Hu Shanshan, taken from this 'Fox Mountain'. You must have heard of her name!"
When the name Hu Shanshan came out, Uncle Big Ear was obviously stunned.
"You're talking about Hu Shanshan..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone felt a shaking under their feet, and then there was a loud bang, and gravel kept falling on their heads.
"What happened?" Gigi asked nervously.
"Master Fox Fairy has awakened." Uncle Big Ear stepped back, bowing his head respectfully, "Welcome, Master."
Everyone looked around immediately and soon found a pair of red eyes on a protruding rock deep in the cave.
The stone shook and cracked, chips fell down, dust flew up, and then a huge, dusty fox head was revealed.
This head is much bigger than Uncle Big Ears’. It is hard to imagine how big its body is. It keeps shaking, shaking off the stone chips on its head.
The fox's eyes were red and its fur was dark, but you could barely tell it was once white.
This was the fox spirit. Even though it looked a little disheveled, it still inspired awe.
"Oh my god, why is it growing in a rock!" Big Orange was so scared that his legs went weak.
Xu Chuchu had never seen such a posture before. He heard his master sigh, "It's not that he grew into the stone. He has stayed on this mountain for too long and has become part of the mountain."
"Hu Shanshan?" The fox fairy spoke, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs and a voice like a dragon's roar. "I heard someone say, 'Hu Shanshan?'"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Zhaozhi bravely stepped closer, "Hu Shanshan is my mother!"
The fox fairy turned her head, and the cave shook again.
He looked Shen Zhaozhi up and down, and after a long while he said, “No, no, Shanshan has been dead for many years. She can’t have a child as old as you.”
"She's not dead!" Chen Zhaozhi shouted, "She's now imprisoned in the human palace! She told me about you, and I came back this time specifically to ask you to rescue her!"
Xu Chuchu didn't know whether Chen Zhaozhi came back with this purpose or just to seek refuge.
But she believed Chen Zhaozhi's words. When she had talked with the Grand Master before, the Grand Master had revealed that the emperor had ordered him to capture a sixth-level fox demon, hoping to use the demon's power to give birth to a child with dragon patterns, but he was unsuccessful.
Shen Zhaozhi still did not have the dragon pattern, and because of his special status, they were afraid of tarnishing the royal bloodline, so they placed him in the family of the great general Shen who died in battle, and gave him the identity of the young master of the Shen family.
Could it be that this sixth-level fox demon is the daughter of the fox fairy?
But now the Grand Master is gone. If Hu Shanshan is still alive, why doesn't she escape? Who is still controlling her?
"Don't joke with my Shanshan!" The fox fairy suddenly raised his head, shook his neck, revealed his bloody mouth and roared.
It bit Chen Zhaozhi's shoulder and tore a piece of flesh from him.
"Ah—" Chen Zhaozhi fell to the ground in pain. "I didn't lie to you, Master Fox Fairy, my mother is really still alive! She said she missed you and Fox Mountain so much, and she said she would never sneak out again!"
The fox fairy bared its big yellow teeth and ate the small piece of meat from Chen Zhaozhi, smacking its lips and savoring the taste for a long time.
"I tasted you...ah, you are indeed the descendant of my white fox clan, Shanshan's child, my grandson." The fox fairy became excited, causing another earth-shaking movement.
After hearing this, Uncle Big Ear walked over to Shen Zhaozhi, blew on his shoulder, and healed his wound.
"Grandpa!" Chen Zhaozhi was overjoyed when he finally succeeded in recognizing his relatives.
He was good at acting and disguising himself, so he endured the foul odor from the fox fairy's mouth and staged a heartwarming scene of recognition with it.
Unexpectedly, the fox fairy could confirm Chen Zhaozhi's identity by tasting a piece of meat. Now it was Xu Chuchu's turn to be nervous.
Although they had treated Chen Zhaozhi with all their heart and soul, including finding evidence to prove his innocence and persuading Taoist Tian to return the inner elixir to him.
But in the end, he didn't treat him as one of his own and rescued him, so he was always held hostage by the Five Drunk Brothers. Not to mention that Xu Chuchu had a grudge against him, and with his vengeful character, he would definitely bite back.
It would be troublesome if he induced the fox spirit to kill them.
Especially Taoist Master Tian, who stole his inner elixir, is now completely disheartened.
"...What did you say? They captured Shanshan not to make elixirs, but to give birth to offspring?!" The fox fairy was furious. "Outrageous! Outrageous! They are coveting the bloodline of my white fox clan."
"Yes, grandpa, let's go and rescue mother!" Chen Zhaozhi seemed very anxious.
Unexpectedly, the fox fairy's expression suddenly darkened, and she sighed deeply, "This matter... still requires further consideration."
His gaze passed Shen Zhaozhi and fell on Xu Chuchu and his group.
"Are these the friends who came back with you?" The fox fairy asked, "Big Ear, treat them well and don't neglect the guests."
Without waiting for Uncle Big Ear to agree, Chen Zhaozhi interrupted, "They didn't 'accompany' me back, they just happened to be on the way. And they were quite indifferent and didn't care whether I lived or died."
Daju was furious: "If we didn't care whether you lived or died, we would have asked Taoist Tian to burn you in the village and help you find evidence to exonerate you!"
Taoist Priest Tian huddled up behind them and said, "Stop talking, Mr. Cat, don't mention me!"
The fox fairy, however, was devoted to her grandson and didn't listen to Daju's words at all. She changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book: "In that case, Da'er, just kill him directly."
"Wait a minute." The master stepped forward calmly, "Master Fox Fairy, although we are traveling with Master Shen, we actually want to make a deal with you."
She took out a small bronze mirror from her bosom and said, "I would like to exchange this magic weapon for an old fox's inner elixir to heal my disciple."
