"Then, Sister Xi'er, can I still go home?"

Falling into the hands of the Nine Nether Fox Granny, Su Yan always felt a chill in his crotch, which was not a good omen.

"Of course we can, but not now."

Xi, whom Su Yan called Sister Xi'er, did not refuse to be addressed as such. Instead, she took a step and suddenly appeared more than ten miles away. She then stepped from the main city of Xia Yu to the courtyard of a farmhouse, and the light snow turned into a blizzard.

Sister Xi found a shady spot under a big tree, ignoring the snow or stains on the rocks, and sat down on it, placing Su Yan on her lap and kneading him.

Su Yan lay sprawled on Xi'er's lap, her tail instinctively covering her belly. This elicited a soft laugh from Xi'er: "Are you afraid of me? There's really no need for that. If I really wanted to harm you, no one could stop me before I did it. Don't worry."

"Is that legend true?"

After being reminded by Sister Xi'er, Su Yan felt that what she said made a lot of sense. He had already fallen into the hands of the Nine-Tailed Fox Granny, and no one could stop Sister Xi'er from doing whatever she wanted. He might as well die knowing the truth before he was caught in a flying snip.

Sister Xi turned her head slightly to look at Su Yan.

"It's the legend of the Nine Netherworlds, a legend that nine ghostly spirits linger in the main city of Xia Yu, protecting the nine-tailed fox royal family."

"The legend of the Nine Netherworlds? That's fake."

Sister Xi'er pinched Su Yan down with both hands, gently pressing Su Yan's soft flesh, her gaze occasionally glancing at the situation in the farmhouse courtyard, and said indifferently: "When you encounter a fellow clansman in distress, it is a very normal thing to save his life within your power, just like when I returned from the western part of the dynasty and saw you being brutally ravaged by the witch."

"Protecting the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family? It's just some royal family members trying to glorify themselves. A bunch of incompetent juniors are dead, so be it. They're not worth my pity."

The legend of the Nine Netherworlds is true, but not entirely true; only part of it is true.

From Sister Xi'er's words, we can conclude that there are indeed nine nine-tailed fox spirits in Xia Yu, but they do not only roam within the main city of Xia Yu, but rather wander throughout the entire dynasty.

If Xi'er encounters a nine-tailed fox in distress, she will lend a helping hand if she sees it; if she doesn't see it, it's simply because it's dead, a result of its own incompetence.

The legend of the Nine Netherworlds seems to be a rumor deliberately spread by some members of the royal family, a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Sister Xi'er really has the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Grandma Su! Thinking of this, Su Yan subconsciously shrank back.

“Turn around.”

After Sister Xi finished stroking Su Yan's soft flesh, she made Su Yan, who was lying sprawled out, turn over. Su Yan obediently lay on Sister Xi's lap, exposing his back.

Su Yan didn't dislike being touched. Some experienced fox petters stroked him, which felt like a free massage to him. Xi'er, who was also a nine-tailed fox, had an exceptional experience in petting foxes. She stroked Su Yan until he was completely paralyzed on her lap, his four legs dangling back and forth.

Xi'er even stripped Su Yan of her wariness, turning Su Yan into a nine-tailed fox who could only whimper.

"Waaaaah"

After a round of "oohs," Su Yan confirmed that the nine-tailed fox grandmother in front of her really wouldn't hurt her, so she cautiously asked, "Sister Xi'er, where do you rank among the ten witches of the Undying Kingdom?"

"Who knows?"

Sister Xi shook her head and said, "Anyway, before I became Jiuyou, I encountered a great wind and then killed it."

The Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom are interpreted differently by cultivators at different levels. For a powerful demon like Jiu You, who was already rampant in his previous life, encountering the Ten Witches might not cause any problems, but if a conflict were to break out, the so-called Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom would most likely become materials for refining weapons.

That was a long time ago. When she returned to Qingqiu, she encountered the Great Wind Demon, one of the Ten Witches, and then killed it to make clothes from its feathers, and used its beak and claws for crafting weapons.

Later, Feng Xi, with unparalleled defensive power, rose to power and became one of the legendary Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom.

Based on what Sister Xi'er has seen and heard, the so-called Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom are not a fixed number. They are all powerful beings from the ancient war between demons and monsters or the war between humans and demons. Most of them lost their souls due to severe injuries, but they have been wandering around because of the immortality of their celestial bodies.

If you encounter something, just cut it down and use the best refining materials.

The Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom should be correctly interpreted as the ten strongest individuals who perished during the ancient war of all races.

Countless powerful individuals have fallen, but the ten strongest will be ranked by those who love to gossip, and their stories will be passed down in the cultivation world as legends.

"Chopped it up!?"

Su Yan looked surprised and turned his fox head to look at Sister Xi'er with disbelief.

"Chopped."

With a slightly ethereal yet substantial form, Xi'er casually recounts her past glories.

Su Yan: "."

He was speechless for a moment. Su Yan really wanted to ask why the Nine-Tailed Fox Grandma, who was so domineering in her previous life, was now listed as a member of the Undying Kingdom. Legend has it that immortals in the Undying Kingdom can be killed at will. How terrifying and extraordinary must Grandma Fox's strength have been in her previous life?

Su Yan wanted to ask, but worried that she might become a fur coat after asking, so she didn't continue.

Because of Su Yan's silence, the atmosphere between the two foxes, one old and one young, was somewhat quiet, and an awkward silence filled the air.

Of course, Xi'er didn't care about this at all; she had originally planned to use a nine-tailed fox cub to celebrate the festival.

Su Yan said it didn't matter whether he spoke or not. He had a question to ask, so Xi'er answered the junior's question.

Su Yan didn't want to ask, nor would she take the initiative to start any topics to ease the atmosphere.

Su Yan felt embarrassed, but Xi'er didn't. After all, petting a fox is normal. Seeing the nine-tailed fox cub so comfortable that it was paralyzed and its four legs were wobbling, Xi'er, as the grandmother of the nine-tailed fox, found it amusing.

I'll update another chapter later.

Chapter 38 Moon Rabbit (Third update, please read and vote)

"Little fox, close your eyes for a moment."

Sitting outside the farmhouse courtyard, Su Yan, who was almost asleep from the comfortable back massage, suddenly heard Sister Xi'er behind her say something. Before Su Yan could react, Sister Xi'er had already covered her eyes.

In the midst of a blizzard, a group of people, dressed in thin clothing, walked through the snow despite the biting wind.

Step by step, they approached the farmhouse that Sister Xi'er was looking at. The biting cold and snow of the northern border seemed to fear this group of people, and they smoothly bypassed them, without any snow or wind falling on them.

Sister Xi'er stood up from the rock she was sitting on, raised her hand and put Su Yan on her shoulder. She covered the little fox's eyes with her left hand and held a lantern in her right hand. The orange-red flame gradually ignited inside the lantern, lighting up a ray of light in the hazy, icy world of the blizzard.

"You should get going."

Sister Xi spoke calmly, and the sky seemed to change because of her words. A demonic wind suddenly appeared in the sky and swept down to the ground, transforming into a blood-soaked, bone-deep, dark snowstorm tornado. Bunches of tornadoes appeared out of nowhere, forming an encirclement and attack on the pedestrians in the snowstorm.

The golden sword formation and crimson flames soared into the sky, seemingly preparing to break through the demonic wind formation. However, in no time, the all-pervasive yin wind seeped into every part of their bodies, and their flesh gradually weathered away and disappeared into the world, leaving only their primordial spirits, which had lost the protection of their physical bodies, to be attacked by the yin wind.

As Sister Xi placed the lantern and candle at the entrance, an attraction drew the soul into it.

The spirit that originally had a physical form was transformed into lamp oil and melted into the white candle by the ravages of the lantern-shaped spiritual artifact.

The lantern Xi'er was carrying was not a particularly valuable magical artifact, but rather a torture device created by the cultists of the Southern State. It was a lamp that used divine souls as fuel to generate flames, and its name was: the Sky Lantern.

Because of the power and spiritual energy of the double happiness symbol, the ordinary magical artifact evolved into a spiritual artifact, giving birth to a lamp spirit.

Xi'er summoned the dark, eerie wind to stop, and the raging blizzard also dissipated.

There were no pedestrians or houses on the road. Everything was still in the howling wind. Only an iron cage that remained in place was particularly eye-catching. A red-eyed rabbit with a white-pink body, a red stripe on its forehead, and a little yellow fur on its cheeks was squatting in the iron cage, watching Xi'er walk towards them carrying the Soul-Burning Lantern.

"Snapped--"

Xi'er picked up the lantern and smashed it against the iron cage. The restrictions and array formations attempted to retaliate, but in the face of absolute power, the restrictions on the iron cage were smashed by the lantern and scattered into pure spiritual energy, escaping without leaving any trace.

"All right."

Xi'er released her hand from Su Yan's eyes and the secret technique that sealed his five senses. When Su Yan opened his eyes, he saw a very fancy pink and white rabbit squatting in an iron cage with a terrified expression.

"Having afternoon tea?"

Su Yan leaned on Xi'er's shoulder, looking at the terrified rabbit with a puzzled expression.

Xi'er did not let Su Yan see the battle. A battle that cuts flesh and bones and destroys the soul is not suitable for underage members of the demon race to watch, even if a parent is present.

Therefore, in Su Yan's perception, he only felt that Sister Xi'er stood up from the rock, walked about a hundred steps, and then let go of her left hand covering her eyes, revealing a very fat little rabbit.

Su Yan assumed that Xi'er was covering her eyes because she had discovered the silly rabbit in the mousetrap and was teasing him like a child. He had no idea that a high-level battle between cultivators had just taken place here.

"It is a rare moon rabbit and cannot be eaten."

Sister Xi reached out and pinched the rabbit's ears, lifting it out of the iron cage. She glanced at the moon rabbit sideways and said, "If it doesn't behave, I can give it to you as a source of nutrition."

Upon hearing this, the moon rabbit trembled even more violently.

"The Moon Rabbit?"

Su Yan looked at the punk rabbit in Xi'er's hand, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Sister Xi glanced at Su Yan, then lifted her foot and walked back towards Xia Yu's main city, smiling as she spoke:

"Yes, the Moon Rabbit is on good terms with our Nine-Tailed Fox. I came here specifically to meet it. The Nine-Tailed Fox and the Moon Rabbit have a deep connection. The Nine-Tailed Fox, the Moon Rabbit, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow once belonged to the same camp and were under the command of a certain innate being."

"The Nine-Tailed Fox, clad in sharp armor, stands guard beside the goddess, serving as her close protector to vanquish evil spirits. The Three-Legged Golden Crow governs the affairs of the ancient eastern state. The gluttonous Moon Rabbit, skilled in alchemy, remains under the goddess's command. Based on our past friendship, we cannot ignore the Moon Rabbit's situation."

"Oh, I see."

It turns out the nine-tailed fox isn't alone; with the help of the Su clan, she can also find the moon rabbit and the three-legged golden crow to come and provoke her.

Su Yan's expression suddenly dawned on her:

"I feel like my situation is getting worse and worse. Do I really have to do what my aunt said, and if there's really no other way, sell my dad and hide him in the Black Dragon Clan's territory?"

………………

...............

Just as Su Yan was using Grandma Fox's hand warmer, the crowd inside the brothel was already in chaos.

The entire railing was turned over, and Jiao Nanwu dived into the riverbed but couldn't find any trace of Su Yan.

The aunt's face had turned completely black, while Hua Yu explained the situation to the talented women.

The disappearance of Su Yan is not Hua Yu's fault. The entire brothel was under Aunt's surveillance. Unlike Hua Yu, who used drugs to conceal her scent and smell beforehand, the person who stole Su Yan simply carried her off Hua Yu's shoulder.

Even her aunt couldn't detect the intruder, let alone Hua Yu, whose cultivation was inferior to her aunt's.

"Uh, Master Huayu, please don't move."

As Jiao Nanwu emerged from the river and wrung out the water from her skirt, she seemed to catch something out of the corner of her eye. She quickly called out to Hua Yu Zhenren, who was communicating with the girls of Wan Hua Ge through her communication jade pendant. She took a few steps forward and brushed aside Hua Yu's long hair, which had been draped over her shoulders and reached her ankles, revealing her fair back with its captivating lines.

After her light chestnut hair was swept aside, everyone immediately saw the black characters that appeared on Hua Yu Zhenren's back.

The sign read: "The fox is temporarily borrowed; it will be returned to the brothel before dinner."

— Signature: 囍 (double happiness)

Everyone: "."

"Damn it, just borrowing it temporarily! We're a legitimate company under the Ministry of Rites, we never do prostitution!"

Auntie felt a surge of anger rush to her head and slammed her hand on the table repeatedly. Hua Yu turned her head in astonishment to look at the writing left on her fair back, a look of horror on her face.

Despite their anger, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief now that they knew where Su Yan was.
