Chapter 402: Change the Method
The master said, "The fox spirit left for something. He said someone asked for his help and he was going to save the souls of some...dead soul. He left in such a hurry that I don't know for sure."
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu looked at each other tacitly again. They both knew that it was the fox tribe that asked for help because the green dragon was injured by the black dragon.
The Black Dragon Prince also mentioned it that day, saying that the chosen one split the mountain and rescued the fox fairy, so the extradition of the Green Dragon clan did not stop.
...The timeline has changed, but it seems to have not changed.
"Then forget about him. Where is Gigi? Let's go find him."
With Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu around, everyone felt much more at ease. Daju was even more proud, walking in cat form with his head held high and chest puffed out, attracting everyone's attention.
The place where Jiji and the demon tribe met was outside the city gate, but it was not the gate where the people entered and exited. Instead, it was in the opposite direction to avoid causing unrest.
When they got closer, they saw the emperor, the second prince, and Gigi were all present, as well as several fortune tellers they had never seen before.
Directly in front of them, a few feet away, there were also several well-dressed "humans".
But these "people" were emitting a strong demonic aura at this moment.
Daju flashed his claws and shouted angrily, "They are rat spirits! Chuchu, let me teach them a lesson!"
"Are you sure?" Xu Chuchu asked.
"Sure!" Daju hates mice the most because his tail was bitten by a mouse when he was a child.
"Do you want a one-on-one fight or a group fight?" Xu Chuchu rubbed its cat head. "Look at their cultivation levels. Which one is lower than yours?"
Daju said awkwardly, "Then let's just beat them up in a group."
The rat demons on the opposite side are all level seven. This is a big deal for a clan of demons. They must have come well prepared.
Xiao Yu waved his fan—since the Cang Yun Sword was gone, he started waving his elegant fan again—and walked forward.
"Your Majesty, Second Brother. Xiao Yu has returned." He gave the emperor a simple bow. "I heard that my two brothers were negotiating with the demon tribe here, and Xiao Yu was worried about them. I hurried here hoping to offer some small assistance."
"Fourth brother!"
"Xiao Yu!"
When the emperor and the second prince saw Xiao Yu, they were both shocked. Of course, one was surprised and the other was frightened.
"Fourth brother, your hand is really healed!" The emperor looked at him, sighed, and felt sincerely relieved.
When fighting against their father, the previous Dog Emperor, Xiao Yu pulled Miss Xu Chuchu out of the terrifying water ball with his bare hands, which left a deep impression on him.
Brave, affectionate, fearless of life and death, and selfless.
It was also on that day that the emperor became certain that Xiao Yu would never compete with him for the throne in the future.
He is a man who prefers beauty to power.
The second prince was naturally the opposite. He was at this critical juncture in the negotiations and was about to convince the emperor, but the fourth prince came to disrupt the situation again.
Every time he comes out, nothing good happens.
When Gigi saw so many "reinforcements" coming, she was so happy that she almost did a 360-degree roll on the spot.
But he has been an official for some time and represents the Shen family. He is wild inside but calm on the surface.
"Fourth Prince, Master, Senior Sister." He bowed.
The emperor said, "Well, since Fourth Brother is here, you can review the current situation. Second Brother, you brought up the matter, so you can start."
"Yes... Your Majesty." The Second Prince was unhappy, but he did not show it.
"Everyone, our Xia Dynasty is now facing enemy forces both to the north and south, ready to attack. We are short of food and soldiers. How about cooperating with the demon tribe and asking them to help repel the enemy?"
He lowered his voice again, "Furthermore, I have heard that the northern barbarians are also closely associated with the local demon tribes. Your Majesty, this is the general trend of the times. If we do not cooperate, we are doomed to be at a disadvantage."
While they were discussing this, the rat demon over there was very quiet.
They waited quietly and peacefully, without interruption or impatience. Their demeanor and graceful manners made it impossible to imagine that they were the rats that everyone wanted to beat.
Perhaps the emperor was also deceived by this illusory appearance.
But isn't it that the emperor is at odds with the second prince? They have been fighting each other since they were princes. Will the emperor listen to the second prince's advice now?
"The demons won't help us for nothing. What demands have they made?" Xiao Yu asked.
Jiji rushed to answer this question: "They asked the emperor to allocate a piece of the city to them so that they can live like human beings."
"That's right." The Second Prince continued, "The demon race has always longed for life in the human world, but they are not tolerated by the human world. This is a good start for humans and demons to coexist."
It sounds really good, no wonder the emperor was tempted.
But this is not the case in reality. Humans and demons may be able to live in harmony, but it is impossible for humans and demons to coexist harmoniously.
Especially the rat spirit who is cunning and loves darkness.
Logically speaking, Xiao Yu could deal with those evildoers with just a wave of his sleeves, but this would not help Jiji's career at all, and might even make things worse.
It would be better to try a different approach.
Xiao Yu walked forward, fanning himself, passing the middle and approaching the rat demon.
"Fourth brother!"
“Brother-in-law!”
The emperor and Gigi were both very nervous. The emperor had no idea about the levels of cultivation, while Gigi knew that his brother-in-law had only a fifth-level cultivation level when he left, so how could he defeat several seventh-level cultivators on the opposite side.
What if you are taken hostage or injured?
Gigi turned around anxiously to ask her senior sister for help.
Looking closely, he saw that the senior sister was hiding behind and secretly sharing melon seeds with Daju. The two of them were fighting back and forth for a handful of melon seeds, both of them were snarling at each other, and they didn't even bother to care about Xiao Yu.
What a dear, dear daughter-in-law.
"My name is Xiao Yu. May I ask what your name is?" Xiao Yu stood directly in front of the rat demons.
One of them sensed that Xiao Yu had no cultivation at all, and said with relief, "My name is Shu Yi, Shu for Bashu, and Yi for artistic conception. These are my two brothers, Shu Biao and Shu Bei."
Xiao Yu pondered their names and nodded slowly.
It turns out that it takes eight hundred years of practice to come up with a good name.
"Brother Shu, do you mean to be willing to live like my people in the city allocated by our emperor?"
"That's right." Shu Yi remained calm.
