Chapter 269 Two Requests
Xu Chuchu also stepped forward. "Not only that, he'll soon be even more powerful. The Five Stars will align before us, and he'll use that day's fortune to absorb a massive amount of energy. By then, even if we join forces, we won't be his match. He'll no longer need Hu Shanshan and will likely kill her."
The fox fairy was furious, her eyes wide open: "No! I won't allow this to happen!"
"This is why we're here," Xiao Yu continued. "Fox Fairy, at this point, we don't want to discuss a deal with you. This matter concerns your relatives, Hu Shanshan and Shen Zhaozhi, and it also involves us. When the nest is overturned, no one will be left unharmed. This matter requires cooperation from both sides."
The fox fairy frowned and said nothing, as if questioning the truthfulness of Xiao Yu's words, but seeing Hu Da'er standing with his head down and not refuting, he didn't say anything more.
"What do you want?" asked the fox fairy.
Xu Chuchu made two requests.
"First, we want to ask if you have any method to restrain the Fox Fire, because the place where Hu Shanshan is imprisoned has a Fox Fire magic circle, and we can't break through it."
"Secondly, I want to take a few of my companions with me, because only they know how to deal with the Five Stars Conjunction and break the enemy's plot."
The fox fairy was naturally cunning and immediately refused the second request: "No, you take your companions with you. What if you all leave? You can only take the companions who can deal with the Five Stars Link. The others stay!"
Xu Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's keep the Taoist named Tian. Do you have any idea to control the fox fire?"
The fox fairy was silent for a while, and suddenly came up with a shocking idea.
"Really? Is this true?" Even Xu Chuchu stuttered.
Hu Da'er also tried to stop him: "Master Fox Fairy, please think twice. This is too dangerous!"
However, the fox fairy did not listen to the advice and insisted on doing it.
Hu Da'er couldn't argue, and Xu Chuchu didn't object either.
After the two sides reached a consensus, Hu Da'er took Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu to meet the few people who had been left here before.
Master, Jiji, Daju and Taoist Tian.
They passed through several mountain paths and saw several small thatched houses. Although they were all built with grass and wood, they looked very solid and not rough in appearance, giving people the feeling of a small garden in the forest.
Before I saw anyone in the distance, I saw a big orange cat lying outside the door, sprawled out in the sun. It seemed like it was living a very comfortable life, and the fox fairy hadn't lied.
As soon as Xu Chuchu saw her relatives, she was freed from the heavy burden on her mind and ran over like a child.
"Big - orange -"
When the orange cat heard the sound, it jumped up, turned over, meowed, and rushed into Xu Chuchu's arms like a bomb.
"Chu Chu! Chu Chu, you're here to pick us up! Woo woo, you're so nice!"
Xu Chuchu caught the big orange with great effort and rubbed it vigorously: "Big orange, have you gained weight again? Why are you rounder again?"
The big orange cat raised its tearful cat face and began to blame others: "It's all Gigi's fault for bullying me and forcing me to eat the food they couldn't finish."
Xu Chuchu held back her laughter, lifted the big orange up high, and rubbed it against her arms.
Hu Da'er behind him suddenly covered his nose and looked at Xiao Yu with horror.
Xiao Yu cleared his throat uncomfortably and stood further away.
Hearing the noise, Master, Jiji, and Taoist Priest Tian all came out of the thatched hut. They all looked very good and were even more excited to see Xu Chuchu back.
"Chu Chu." The master came forward to greet him and said happily, "You're back so soon. Did you complete the fox fairy's mission and bring the princess back?"
Jiji also praised happily: "Senior sister, you are so amazing!"
"Not yet." Xu Chuchu sighed, "It's a long story, but I've already convinced the fox fairy to take you out. We'll talk on the way."
Everyone did not waste any time and went back to pack up their things and prepared to leave with Xu Chuchu.
Taoist Priest Tian also followed happily behind, thinking that the miserable days were finally over - although the place he lived in was still quite comfortable.
Halfway through the journey, Hu Da'er stopped him: "You, can't leave, go back."
"Why?!" Taoist Master Tian was stunned.
"You don't need to ask about the agreement between Miss Xu and the Fox Fairy." Hu Da'er waved his palm and pushed Taoist Tian back through the air. "Stay here peacefully. Once Miss Xu completes her mission, you will be free."
Taoist Master Tian looked at the backs of the group of people in front of him who were talking and laughing, and shed two lines of sad tears.
If he hadn't suddenly helped others catch the fox demon that day...
…
The situation was urgent, so everyone did not delay in Fox Mountain for long and went down the mountain together at dawn the next day.
This time, Hu Da'er did not go with him. Instead, he entrusted a bamboo basket covered with thick cloth to Xiao Yu, asking him to keep it carefully and instructing him not to remove the cloth until the time was right.
Xiao Yu agreed calmly.
On the way, Xu Chuchu told everyone about the five planets in conjunction, and everyone lamented that this conjunction was a curse rather than a blessing.
First, the Grand Master wanted to use the five-star conjunction to revive the evil spirit, and then the Dog Emperor took this opportunity to change his fate. It was really annoying.
Not to mention that they have already had a grudge with the emperor, and with his vindictive character, he will definitely take revenge on them when the time comes.
"Then Chuchu, what are we going to do next?" Master asked worriedly, "According to you, the palace magic circle is difficult to break through. Do we have to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"This..." Xu Chuchu pondered, "There's no rush for this. We need to go to another place first."
"Another place?"
Xu Chuchu suddenly looked at Xu Jiji: "Jiji, your family heirloom sword is still with you, right? Can you show it to me?"
"Oh, yes." Gigi didn't expect to be called out suddenly, because usually it was not his turn to interrupt in these matters.
He drew a dagger from his waist and handed it to Xu Chuchu: "If you want to use it... just take it."
He had sold this sword to Xiao Yu at that time. Although Xu Chuchu told him not to mind it when he returned it to him, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
A good sword should be matched with a hero, not a loser like him.
Xu Chuchu took it and looked at the pattern on the hilt with Xiao Yu. She nodded and gave it back to Jiji: "I won't use it. Keep it well. It might be useful in the future."
She didn't say anything else so as not to upset Gigi.
When they arrived near the capital, they found an inn in the suburbs of the capital to stay in.
Because Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu had caused a disturbance in the palace and were seen by many people, they decided to keep a low profile, avoid the capital and take a long detour to Silver Moon Lake.
However, while everyone was resting and packing up, Xiao Yu disguised himself and went into the city, saying that he was going to buy some things.
Then, just as it was getting dark, they set off again.
Time waits for no one, the five planets in conjunction are just around the corner, and every day is precious.
