She stared at the burning red candle, still patiently waiting, her bare white feet untouched by the cold. The candle wax had dried up. She rubbed her eyelids, and suddenly a puff of white smoke filled the air outside the window. In that cloud, she saw the man's purple robe and his cold silhouette. He hadn't entered the room yet. Could it be that he had a surprise waiting for her?
Jiuxi put on his shoes and socks, put on a robe, and excitedly opened the door. However, the purple shadow seemed to have noticed him and quickly flew away. Jiuxi was secretly annoyed, "Wait for me!"
She gathered her strength and followed behind Mingye. The cool wind whistled across her face. Jiuxi gathered her outer robe tightly around her. She felt that Mingye was acting very abnormally today. She said angrily, "It's so late, where are you going?"
The man turned around, his eyes showing a warm and cool expression, yet with a hint of frivolity. He slowly approached Jiuxi, gently stroking his fingers across Jiuxi's face, and said, "Axi, I have stationed all the fox tribe members on this mountain."
Jiuxi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Why did he suddenly get involved in the affairs of the fox clan...
The man played with her hair, a sly smile on his face. "The fox tribe eats the essence of mortals, so I trapped them in this mountain..."
Although his eyes were full of warmth, Jiuxi sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.
In fact, for Jiuxi, what happened to the fox clan was really none of her business. She had been leaving it alone just because she was afraid that Fu Jin would resent her. But now, Mingye's approach was really good. Imprisoning the fox clan in this mountain not only prevented the fox clan from causing harm to the world, but also made her feel at ease.
His slightly rough fingertips slid across her delicate skin, and he said softly, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Let's go back."
Jiuxi nodded, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. When she turned around, bits of fox fire bloomed in front of her eyes. With the help of the clear light of the cold moon, she saw the fox demons around her, as well as Mingye who was standing not far from her.
Ming Ye walked towards her step by step with a smile in his eyes. As Ming Ye walked, the fox fire behind him was guided by magic power and floated towards the sky. It looked extremely beautiful, like a thousand-foot-high flame burning in the sky, attracting one colorful ribbon after another, which was extremely gorgeous.
Jiuxi chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful!"
Mingye held her hand and said, "Do you like it?"
Although she liked him, she didn't like him getting so close to the fox clan. Xiao Shuang knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Sister Xi, brother-in-law, I was blinded by greed in the past. I hope Sister Xi will forgive me."
There was a hint of sincerity in Jiuxi's small eyes. The corners of his lips moved as he looked at the faint light of the barrier around him and said, "As long as you stay here quietly, I will not pursue the past matters."
Jiuxi and Mingye returned to the underworld together. When they entered the ghost gate, Mingye said, "You go back to your room first. I'll be back soon."
Although Jiuxi was confused, he still walked towards the bedroom with a sense of loss. The ghost messengers along the way saw Jiuxi and thought they had seen a ghost. They said, "Sir, the king is back. Aren't you going to be with him?"
The ghost messenger was not very good looking to begin with, and he also made faces, making his eyes look like they were not eyes and his nose looked like it was not a nose...
Jiuxi felt that he was too easy to talk to, even the ghost dared to tease him.
