Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 462 The Three Treasures of the Chai Family: The Fox Demon Protects Her Husband and Fights Two Snakes
When Chai Ziheng arrived at Baorentang, it was getting late.

Most of the people had left, and Baorentang was closing up shop.

He spotted the jade bottle with his sharp eyes; it was the very treasure hidden in the Chai family's treasury.

Seeing this, he hurriedly led Chai Baishi inside.

Xu Jingnian was startled by the situation and hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you here to get medicine?"

However, Chai Ziheng ignored the other party and focused his gaze on the other two treasures.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be their own Juntian Music Diagram and Bagua Time Incense Burner.

"Manager Xu, what is the origin of your three treasures?" Chai Ziheng asked, suppressing his anger.

Xu Jingnian didn't realize the problem and assumed the other party was asking a question, so he proudly said, "That was left by my father-in-law."

This immediately ignited Chai Ziheng's anger.

He was the only son of the Chai family; he had no sisters.

"Nonsense!" Chai Ziheng cursed as soon as he opened his mouth, then said, "How come I didn't know I had a sister?"

Xu Jingnian was puzzled when he heard this: "What does it have to do with me that you have an extra sister?"

“Nonsense,” Chai Ziheng said. “These three treasures belong to my Chai family. You thief, come with me to see the authorities.”

After saying that, Chai Ziheng grabbed Xu Jingnian by the collar and dragged him out.

Chai Bai quickly put away all three treasures.

This scene completely stunned Xu Jingnian. He struggled to break free and shouted, "How can you talk such nonsense?"

“These three treasures were my wife’s dowry, how did they become your Chai family’s?”

The commotion was so loud that it attracted a lot of onlookers.

"Ha, I'd even take you to the authorities," Chai Ziheng said coldly, then dragged Xu Jingnian out the door.

But just as he stepped out the door, a sudden gust of wind blew, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Chai Bai immediately realized that someone was casting a spell to prevent them from leaving.

Therefore, he secretly made a hand seal in his sleeve and pushed the gale back.

Looking back, I saw a woman in white with a maid in green following her down.

A glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and he immediately saw the true forms of the two people.

Chai Baishi immediately realized that the manager of Baorentang was probably also being deceived.

It wasn't Xu Jingnian who stole the three treasures from the Chai family, but these two snake demons.

"Young master, please release my husband first," Bai Zhenniang said.

Chai Ziheng's vision blurred, and he almost let go, but then he heard Chai Baishi's voice in his ear: "Husband, this man is cunning."

The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly broke through the illusion and restored everything.

He then pulled Chai Baishi behind him, his eyes fixed on the two of them.

Having encountered monsters before, and with Chai Bai's reminder, how could he not understand that the two people before him were either demons or heretics?

No wonder Chu Danqing told him to bring Chai Baishi over, otherwise his trip would have been in vain.

Bai Zhenniang was also feeling bitter. What kind of situation was this? How could she have run into the Chai family in the small town of Xuyang and recognized them at a glance?

Moreover, the other party was accompanied by a fox demon with higher cultivation than her, which made things really troublesome and difficult to resolve.

“These three treasures are indeed from my Chai family,” Chai Ziheng said.

It wasn't that he didn't want to confront her directly, but rather that Chai Baishi was pregnant with his child, and engaging in a battle of wits at this time would be extremely unwise.

If the other party is truly persistent, Chai Ziheng will also give up these three treasures.

Compared to his wife and children, Chai Ziheng could clearly distinguish between what was more important and what was less important.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding," Bai Zhenniang said softly. "These three treasures were left to me by my father."

"Perhaps it's just slightly similar to the one from Young Master Chai's family."

"Why don't we come in and talk things over, and clear up this misunderstanding?"

Chai Ziheng understood that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.

Therefore, he gave Chai Bai a look.

Although Chai Baishi was unwilling, she knew that the two of them were no match for each other in the situation.

There was no other way but to put these three treasures down.

"Let's skip the formalities, here's the stuff," Chai Ziheng said. "Just have Manager Xu escort us."

After saying that, he grabbed Xu Jingnian and left.

Bai Zhenniang dared not go forward, fearing that the fox demon would kill Xu Jingnian.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Xu Jingnian finally returned.

"What's going on here?" Xu Jingnian looked at the three treasures, feeling uneasy.

The other party clearly intended to take her to the authorities, so why was Bai Zhenniang frightened away as soon as she arrived?

"Don't worry, my husband. It must have been some thugs who came from who-knows-where, who were jealous of our three treasures, and that's why this happened."

"The so-called 'taking you to the authorities' is nothing but a lie to deceive you."

"Qing'er, go and seal these three treasures back in the box, lest someone else be jealous and cause trouble." Bai Zhenniang quickly settled the matter.

Xu Jingnian was confused, and after hearing Bai Zhenniang's words, he had no doubts.

"Yes, Madam." Bi Qing'er understood Bai Zhenniang's words; she just wanted to return it quickly to avoid any trouble.

After wrapping up the three treasures, Bi Qing'er went upstairs, then cast a spell and rode away on a cloud.

They had only flown three miles when they saw a strange wind churning in the clouds not far away.

"You little hussy, I've finally caught you!" Chai Baishi emerged from the demonic wind. "You stole my husband's family's treasure and dare to scare my husband."

"Today I'm going to skin you alive and use your snake meat to make a big soup for my husband." As she spoke, Chai Baishi opened her mouth and spat out black flames.

The black flames and demonic wind combined, and Bi Qing'er ran right into them.

Although Bi Qing'er's cultivation level was not high enough, she had learned a lot of profound skills and magic from Bai Zhenniang, so she quickly cast a fire-avoiding spell.

Despite the scorching heat, no one was injured.

But the next moment, the black flames and demonic wind were split open by a bright light, and Chai Baishi came running with a long spear.

Caught off guard, Bi Qing'er was stabbed in the shoulder.

As soon as the pain started, the bundle containing the three treasures immediately loosened.

Upon seeing this, Chai Baishi quickly drew her spear, rode the demonic wind, and chased after them, bringing back the three treasures.

When she turned around again, Bi Qing'er turned and rode away on a cloud.

"Trying to escape? Hmph." Chai Bai was born into a wild fox sect, and her profound skills and magic were indeed inferior to those of Bi Qing'er, who had been taught by Bai Zhenniang.

However, Chai Baishi's cultivation was far superior to Bi Qing'er's, not to mention that Bi Qing'er's background was just as ordinary as hers.

A gust of wind swept through, and it caught up in just a few steps.

He raised his spear and thrust it towards Bi Qing'er's back.

In that critical moment, a white light suddenly flashed by like lightning.

Chai Bai hurriedly withdrew her hand, but she was a step too late.

The white light struck her right hand, which was holding the spear.

He heard a cracking sound of bones breaking, and his right hand lost its grip on the spear, falling into the demonic wind.

The intense pain in his hand caused cold sweat to pour down Chai Baishi's forehead.

Upon closer inspection, the white light returned to Bai Zhenniang's hand, which was not far away; it turned out to be a round bead.

"You fox demon, you still don't know what's good for you!" Bai Zhenniang rushed over and protected Bi Qing'er: "It has already been returned to its rightful owner, why do you still want to harm my maid?"

These words infuriated Chai Bai. How could they, who stole things, have their victims come knocking on their door and still act like they're in the right?

But looking again at the beads held in Bai Zhenniang's hand, Chai Baishi was still shaken.

If that bead had hit my right hand instead of a vital spot, I would be dead right now.

Chai Baishi understood that she was no match for Bai Zhenniang.

As for arguing? There's no need.

She herself is a demon, and knows that spreading falsehoods can mislead the public.

“I’ve really messed up today,” Chai Bai said. “Tomorrow my husband and I will move away and never set foot in Xuyang Town again.”

Chai Baishi is not afraid of Bai Zhenniang, but she is pregnant. She will take revenge on her after Bai Zhenniang gives birth.

This matter is certainly not over yet.

After saying that, he swept the evil wind away and quickly fled.

Seeing this, Bai Zhenniang simply assumed that the matter was settled.

After checking Bi Qing'er's injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The injury on my shoulder is a superficial wound; applying some medicine will do the trick.

After the other party left, he rode back on a cloud, comforting Bi Qing'er along the way.

After all, it was she who asked Bi Qing'er to handle this matter, and now that something has gone wrong, she definitely has to step in to comfort her.

Meanwhile, Chai Baishi also returned home.

Chai Ziheng immediately noticed Chai Baishi's swollen right hand.

"Madam, how did your right hand get injured like this? I'll take you to see a doctor." Chai Ziheng's heart sank.

Previously, Chai Baishi said she was going to get them some wine, but she ended up going to retrieve the treasure instead.

"It's nothing serious, I'll be fine after a few days of rest," said Chai Baishi. "It's just that the white snake demon is highly skilled, and I'm no match for her."

"I can only take back our family's three treasures; I cannot harm her."

“Husband, we should move out quickly, lest they come knocking on our door,” said Chai Baishi.

As for Chu Danqing, he had already gone back, so only the couple remained in the house.

Chai Ziheng looked gloomy; his wife was a white fox spirit with two thousand years of cultivation.

"Husband, husband," Chai Baishi thought, her heart pounding, wondering what Chai Ziheng was thinking.

"I'll accompany Madam to the doctor to have her hand injury checked first," Chai Ziheng said, paused for a moment, and then added, "Then we'll go back to the prefectural city."

"Ah? But..." Chai Baishi knew what Chai Ziheng wanted to do; he was preparing to go back and use the Chai family's influence himself.

"There are no 'buts'," Chai Ziheng said angrily. "Baorentang is going too far!"

Stealing treasure is one thing, but they even plan to kill us at our doorstep.

It's absolutely abominable.

"I refuse to believe that hiring ten or so monks and Taoists wouldn't be enough to subdue a snake demon." Chai Ziheng knew how wealthy his family was.

They wouldn't even blink an eye if they threw thousands of taels of silver at them.

"But I'm a fox demon," Chai Bai said helplessly. When they returned, the first person they would eliminate would be her.

"Don't worry, I've already made up my mind about this." Chai Ziheng smiled. "If my parents don't comply, the two of us can simply use the emperor to command the feudal lords."

As he said this, Chai Ziheng's gaze fell on Chai Bai's small belly.

“If they don’t want the lineage to end with me after three generations of only sons, they have no other choice.” Chai Ziheng dared to go back because he was confident.

Otherwise, if they take Chai Bai back without children, Chai Bai will definitely be exorcised and demonized.
