After transplanting the flowers, Chen Zhi had to water them. By the time she finished, it was already dark.

Jiang You and Feng Ruyu waited from morning until afternoon. Later, Feng Ruyu went to Old Fan's place first, leaving Jiang You alone to continue waiting outside the small villa.

As darkness fell, Chen Zhi and Xi Lang were still nowhere to be seen. Jiang You wondered if the two had already left Beijing. Just as he was hesitating about whether to leave, Chen Zhi returned.

Seeing Jiang You, she looked surprised. "Why are you here at this time?"

Jiang You wanted to cry, "You're finally back! I've been waiting since this morning!"

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat. "Who's in trouble?"

"It's Old Master Fan's niece. She's having some health problems. Get in the car quickly, I'll tell you on the way."

Chen Zhi was in charge of riding the bike, while Jiang You sat behind her. He brought up the matter of Old Fan's niece, saying, "Old Fan recently recognized his niece. She had spent most of her life wandering. When Old Fan learned that he still had such a niece, he was moved to tears and brought her home. Everyone thought that Old Fan was getting old and it would be good for him to have such a niece to keep him company. Everyone was happy for Old Fan."

Chen Zhi: "Is there something wrong with this niece?"

"Yes, there's a problem, a big problem." Jiang You's expression was indescribable.

Chen Zhi became interested. "What's the problem?"

Jiang You hesitated to speak, but gritted his teeth and said, "She...she moved into Old Fan's house a few days ago and slept with every man in that alley."

From those in their fifties and sixties to teenagers, I don't know how they manage their time, but they haven't worn themselves out.

Chen Zhi: "..."

That's really impressive.

"If she hadn't gone to the man's house demanding money, this wouldn't have come to light so quickly." This was what Jiang You couldn't understand. "Old Fan isn't short of money; he could easily support her. Why would she sell her body?"

Thinking of Old Fan's age, Chen Zhi asked curiously, "How old is Old Fan's niece?"

"Forty-two." Jiang You's expression became even stranger. "Those men really aren't picky."

Chen Zhi didn't rule it out completely, saying, "Maybe she's still quite attractive."

Jiang You: "...You'll see when you go see it."

This is Chen Zhi's second time visiting Fan Lao's place. The last time she came was because of a white jade bottle, and she didn't get to see the place properly.

Master Yang was here last time I came, and he is here again today.

The house was brightly lit, and a woman was tied to a chair in the middle of the yard.

Chen Zhi was stunned when she saw her. If Jiang You hadn't mentioned beforehand that Old Fan's niece was forty-two years old, she really wouldn't have been able to tell that this woman with a weathered face and thinning hair was only forty-two years old this year.

The water in their Sandong Village nourishes the people, so everyone is a bit dark-skinned, but it's rare to see someone look this old.

The woman in front of me could easily pass for fifty or sixty.

"Old Fan's niece has suffered a lot over the years. She's been married several times, but because she can't have children, she was divorced by her husbands each time. She suffered terribly in her husbands' homes, enduring beatings and hunger, which ruined her health. The last time she was divorced, she vaguely remembered that she had relatives in Beijing, so she came all the way here," Jiang You explained in a low voice to Chen Zhi.

"They walked here?" Chen Zhi couldn't believe it.

"She traveled all the way from the south for more than half a year. At that time, she had no money, so she probably used, uh, her body to exchange for food, which is why she didn't starve to death on the road." This was Jiang You's guess.

Chen Zhi didn't know what to say.

"This morning, the neighbors were cursing her so rudely, saying she was shameless and that she had slept with and ruined their little green onion, defiled their child, and demanding compensation." Jiang You only picked out a few of the sentences to say; he couldn't bring himself to say the more offensive ones.

Chen Zhi was stunned. She grew up in the countryside and had heard many strange things, but this was the first time she had encountered something this bizarre.

"You've finally arrived." Feng Ruyu greeted them, followed by Old Fan, who looked distressed.

Old Fan had no impression of Chen Zhi. The two met twice. The first time, Old Fan's body was controlled and he was not in his right mind. The second time was in the ancient tomb. Old Fan was unconscious the whole time and did not see Chen Zhi at all.

He only knew that such a person existed, but he didn't know the specifics.

Upon seeing Chen Zhi, a hint of surprise flashed in Old Fan's eyes, but he dared not underestimate her. Instead, he looked solemn and said, "Thank you for making this trip, young lady."

Chen Zhi: "You're too kind."

Master Yang also came over at this moment, saying, "There is the spirit of a fox demon living in her body."

This was the first time Chen Zhi had heard of this thing. "This thing can possess another's body?"

"Generally not, unless it's a powerful spirit. The one inside Ms. Fan's body is of moderate power; it can enter Ms. Fan's body, but it can't completely control her." Master Yang paused, "It's likely that Ms. Fan made some kind of deal with it."

Chen Zhi asked curiously, "Does she even know what she's been doing?"

Master Yang nodded, "She should know, otherwise she wouldn't have chased after them to ask for money."

Uh--

Chen Zhi remained silent.

Old Fan looked ashamed.

"The most urgent thing now is to find a way to get this fox spirit out of her body." Master Yang looked troubled. "Ms. Fan made a deal with that spirit, and the entanglement is too deep. Unless the spirit is willing to let Ms. Fan go, there is nothing I can do."

Chen Zhi: "Forced separation won't work."

"With my level of cultivation, I can't do it. Where is Fellow Daoist Xi? Why didn't he come?" Master Yang placed his hopes on Xi Lang.

"He's not in Beijing right now," Chen Zhi replied, adding, "There's nothing I can do about it."

Master Yang grew anxious, "When will he be back?"

"It will take at least one or two weeks." Taking the train takes four or five days round trip, and with the added task of finding suppliers, it would be considered fast if it could be back in one or two weeks.

"Besides that Master Xi, are there any other powerful masters? Money is not a problem, I'm willing to pay," said Master Fan.

Master Yang thought for a moment, "Yes, there are some, but their skill level is about the same as mine. Never mind, I'll go call and ask them."

Mr. Fan's family already had a telephone installed.

Master Yang went to make a phone call, and Master Fan went with him.

Feng Ruyu brought a chair for Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi sat down without hesitation.

"I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing," Feng Ruyu said apologetically.

Chen Zhi didn't mind, "I'll just consider it an opportunity to broaden my horizons."

Just then, Chen Zhi's stomach growled.

"There's a small restaurant nearby. I'll go get some food to go," Jiang You said. "There aren't many dishes to choose from at this time, so please make do with this."

Chen Zhi isn't picky; "As long as there's food, I'm fine with it."

There was no moon tonight, and only a few stars. All the lights in the house were on, and the dim yellow light illuminated the entire house.

Chen Zhi leaned back lazily in her chair, looking quite relaxed.

"Looking at a beauty under the lamplight, the more you look, the more you can't take your eyes off her," Feng Ruyu exclaimed.

Chen Zhi glanced at him lazily, "You and Jiang You aren't bad looking, so why aren't you married yet?"

"I have no job, no house, and I'm living at Jiang You's house. What girl would want to be with me?" Feng Ruyu said frankly. "As for Jiang You, he seems clueless. He only has those stones in his heart."

Chen Zhi seemed thoughtful, "It's not impossible for the two of you to live together."

"Huh?" Feng Ruyu didn't understand what Chen Zhi meant.

Chen Zhi didn't speak, and had already closed her eyes. She had gotten up early today and was feeling a little sleepy.

As Chen Zhi's consciousness gradually blurred, she didn't notice that the niece of Old Fan opposite her had quietly opened her eyes, her slender eyes slightly narrowed, staring straight at Chen Zhi's face.

A very soft murmur escaped her lips, "You are so beautiful!"

This was the first time it had ever seen such a perfect appearance.

It was more beautiful than any human form that the elders of the clan had ever conjured.

If it were to acquire such a body—

Ms. Fan's mouth watered, and she looked extremely eager for the food.

Feng Ruyu glanced at Chen Zhi, who seemed to be asleep, then turned to look at Ms. Fan, who was drooling. She frowned; Ms. Fan's condition seemed to have worsened.

No, I have to inform Master Yang.

Only Chen Zhi and Ms. Fan, who was sitting opposite, remained in the courtyard.

Under the warm yellow light, a shadowy figure slowly emerged from Ms. Fan's head; it was actually the appearance of a red fox.

The red fox nimbly leaped and landed in front of Chen Zhi. Its nose twitched. "What a fragrant smell."

This woman is not only beautiful, but she also smells amazing. Her body is practically made for her!

The red fox grinned, its sharp snout revealing a greedy yet satisfied smile.

"It has revealed itself!"

Feng Ruyu gasped in surprise, her legs went weak with fear.

Master Yang was also startled and hurriedly threw out a yellow talisman.

However, it was too late. The red fox glanced back at them, revealing a provocative smile, and then it flashed and entered Chen Zhi's body.

The fox entered Chen Zhi's body!

Feng Ruyu was stunned.

Master Yang was also stunned.

They stood still, and compared to the 42-year-old Ms. Fan, the powerful Chen Zhi was even more difficult to control; no one on the scene was her match.

Now that the Red Fox has Chen Zhi's body, whatever kind of man she wants is just a matter of beckoning her.

Feng Ruyu felt like the sky had fallen. "It's all over!"

"What's over?"

Jiang You returned carrying several lunchboxes, looking puzzled.

Feng Ruyu was on the verge of tears, "That vixen has run off with Chen Zhi."

Jiang You: "..."

How could someone cause such a huge disaster?

How is he going to explain this to Xi Lang?

"Master Yang, do you have any ideas?" Jiang You looked at Master Yang with hope.

Master Yang shook his head. "Elder Mu and Elder Liu are on their way, but even if they come, they can't defeat Chen Zhi. Never mind, I'll call Commander Song again and see if he has any ideas."

"Ugh—"

Chen Zhi opened her eyes.

"Master Yang, don't go! She, she's awake!" Feng Ruyu exclaimed in fright, grabbing Master Yang's arm.

Master Fan was so frightened that he hid behind Master Yang.

Jiang You, standing at the door, backed away step by step, goosebumps rising all over his body.

Is this Chen Zhi, or a vixen?

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Chen Zhi seemed even more beautiful than before.

It's not that Chen Zhi's appearance has changed. Before this, Chen Zhi was already stunningly beautiful and unforgettable at first glance. But now, in addition to her beauty, Chen Zhi also has a seductive charm. She is alluring in every way, and just one look from her can make people's bodies go weak.

Is this still the same Chen Zhiyao?
