Chapter 15 Escape (1)
As soon as it approached the Tonglin forest, Ji Er quickly used its claws to lie down in the pit.
She put down the ash from her mouth, let out a sharp cry to signal Qing Shi to take the cub, and then flew inside.
Qing Shi stopped the children who wanted to go back with their mother. He quickly filled in the pit that Ji Er had dug, and then, just like Ji Er, buried the ash he was carrying in his mouth.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang buried it a little slower. Ji Rong saw a grain of ash sticking out of the ashes, so she curiously picked it up and put it in her mouth.
As they were still filling in the soil, they saw Ji Er, with a bunch of spirit sacks hanging around his neck, carrying Huang Pinjie, rushing down.
Huang Pinjie jumped off Ji Er, stomped flat the ash pit that Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang hadn't yet settled, and then jumped onto the back of the bluestone. She pointed in the direction of Jiming Mountain and told everyone to fly there as fast as they could.
Back at Jiming Mountain, everyone finally caught their breath. Ji Er said to Huang Pinjie with a heavy heart, "Sister Jie, after something like this, the higher-ups will definitely impose a large-scale blockade. If they start a massacre, none of us will be able to escape."
Huang Pinjie had no good ideas either; she was very worried.
Ji Er briefly explained what had happened to her, and she then directed him to flee here for his life.
This is because Chicken Cry Mountain belongs to the Fire Fox Clan, and its spiritual energy is sparse.
Those birds that have obtained the magic will surely seek out places with abundant spiritual energy for seclusion, so Huang Pinjie figured that the celestial maidens of the Golden Cauldron Palace wouldn't find their way here anytime soon.
But this is only temporary. The Fire Fox Clan has always worked for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Wangyue. Wangyue is a loyal subordinate of the Golden Mother Goddess. Once the Golden Cauldron Palace starts searching for the Rebellious Bird, the Fire Fox Clan will definitely be the first to respond.
Just as Huang Pinjie was feeling distressed, she heard a fox outside calling out, "Grandma Jie, are you there?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Pinjie immediately transformed into her half-beast form. She locked Ji Er and the others in the quiet room, then grabbed a handful of hair from her head, loosely draped a spirit hemp robe over herself, and yawned as she went outside.
Through the door, she shouted, "What is it that dares to disturb my peaceful meditation?"
The fox respectfully said, "Grandma Jie, the clan chief said that there are rebellious phoenixes in Luohuang Ridge and Qingluan Peak. We will no longer do business with them. Please go out and avoid them for a while."
Huang Pinjie was overjoyed upon hearing this. Her lips twitched, but she immediately suppressed her joy, leaped out of the cave, and roared, "What! Is Hong Tian impatient and trying to steal my peaches? Don't think that just because she's from the main branch, she can do whatever she wants. I'm not dead yet!"
As Huang Pinjie spewed forth her five tails with a burst of fury, they moved without wind. The four-tailed fox who had come was so frightened that it wet itself. It immediately knelt down and said, "Grandma Jie, the clan leader specifically asked me to inform you... to tell you..."
"What did you say?!" Huang Pinjie snapped impatiently.
The fox closed its eyes and whispered, "She said it was a reward for you. Look, this is the Fire Fox Token for going to Danzhou."
Huang Pinjie glanced at the token, then hooked it with one of her tails and played with it in her paws. But she still twitched her lips and said angrily, "Why is it Danzhou? Why are you sending me to such a desolate place!"
Are you suggesting I go to Hong Xiangwan's territory and be subservient to her? Tell the clan leader I'm not going!
"I'm going to die anyway, so what's the big deal? I just did some business with them. At worst, they can treat me like a traitor and beat me to death!"
The little fox was inwardly groaning and swaying uncontrollably. She knew before she came that although the job was well-paid, it would not be easy.
I heard that this grandmother had just perfected the clan's secret technique not long ago, but how long has it been, and she's already being asked to move to her enemy's territory.
Anyone would be unhappy in this situation, so I guess I'm lucky to have met such a kind-hearted Grandma Jie.
If it were any other grandparents with five or more tails, I would have lost at least one tail.
The little fox raised its mouth and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Grandma Jie, the clan leader will certainly not let you suffer any injustice. Grandma Xiangwan is indeed now in charge of Danzhou."
But the clan leader means to invite you to Danzhou Huanghai City. The Third Miss has been there for many years, and I heard that she has always missed you.
"Go there and clear your head. Once this storm passes, the clan will definitely want to bring you back."
"Hmph, they actually sent the Third Miss there. The wind and poison gas there must be very strong."
I'll go if you want, but only if you give me a cauldron of top-grade fire spirit mushrooms over a hundred years old. My poor Third Miss loves them!
The little fox thought to itself that the clan leader truly understood foxes' hearts, and that Grandma Jie was quite loyal; she agreed to go as soon as she heard that the Third Miss was there.
She immediately took out a leather bag from her fox tail and presented it with her paws, saying, "This is a travel permit prepared for you by the clan. The travel expenses along the way have been fully arranged. You can use the Fire Fox Token to pay the bill. You will definitely have a comfortable journey to the Desolate Sea City."
"You don't need to worry about the Fire Spirit Mushroom. Every year, the ship sends one to the Third Miss." However, most of the ones sent in the past were substandard products that were less than a hundred years old or had less than one-tenth of their medicinal properties remaining.
After she finished speaking, the fox didn't leave. She kept looking at Huang Pinjie, hesitant to speak.
Huang Pinjie said impatiently, "What else? Speak up, or I'll beat you to death!"
Little Fox carefully considered his words and said, "Grandma Jie, now that you've gone to Danzhou, Jiming Mountain can't be left without someone in charge. The clan's idea is to send a fox down to temporarily manage it while you're away."
Huang Pinjie was even happier to hear this. Her body and mouth trembled uncontrollably. She raised her head and laughed wildly, saying, "Good, good, good! You actually want to take back this place where we can retire."
"If you won't let me stay, I'm leaving right now!"
After saying that, she went back to her cave, flipped over the mountain token, and threw it to the little fox, saying, "Take it, I won't make things difficult for you."
Huang Pinjie lowered her head and endured for a while, then suddenly burst into wild laughter. Her five tails took flight, her Dharma form appeared in a huge form, and she trampled the outer perimeter of the cave to pieces with a few kicks, and then shattered the water veins inside the mountain with a claw.
Water gushed up like a sieve, splashing high into the air, soaking the little fox and chilling him to the bone.
Huang Pinjie flicked her tail and said excitedly, "Now you can go back and call your successor. Tell them to come and fix the water veins quickly, or it will be too late, hahahaha."
After saying that, Huang Pinjie swatted the little fox down the mountain with one paw and let it roll around. She then went into the cave, picked up Ji Er's family, lit fire with her four paws, and leaped towards the direction of the Jade Void Mountain Range.
