Emperor Wusheng stepped into the spatial passage before him and, in the blink of an eye, returned to the throne in the imperial city. He sat directly on the throne and looked at the cultivators from other sects, saying:

"The martial arts exercise is suspended today, but will proceed as scheduled tomorrow."

"Eek—"

Just as the Emperor Wusheng finished speaking, Su Yan, perched on her shoulder, couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

Emperor Wusheng's turn and seated was indeed quite elegant, but Su Yan, who was perched on Emperor Wusheng's shoulder and robe, was a stab in the back from the sharply defined throne behind him.

A curved, angular object struck Su Yan's snow-white fur-covered buttocks.

Su Yan initially held back her words, but as the Wusheng Emperor's figure swayed, the hooked tip was almost touching Su Yan's bell, and Su Yan, who had been holding back, subconsciously let out a soft moan.

Upon hearing Su Yan's scream, Emperor Wusheng seemed to notice Su Yan's embarrassment only then. He reached out, grabbed the back of Su Yan's neck, and lifted him onto the armrest of the throne. He placed one hand on Su Yan's snow-white back and squeezed it. Su Yan's body stiffened, and he immediately bent down and pretended to be on the armrest of the throne.

The remaining monks and officials present couldn't help but glance strangely at the white fox on the throne.

Su Yan remained silent. After Emperor Wusheng issued the order to expel them, the other sect cultivators also decided not to get involved in the conflict between the Xia Yu Dynasty and the Yanzhen Sect.

Emperor Wusheng didn't pay attention to those things. He placed his hand on Su Yan's back and stroked it, pondering some matters.

"Did the color fade?"

But as Emperor Wusheng touched Su Yan, he noticed that her touch felt a little off. He realized that white, fluffy things had appeared on his palm, as if they had fallen from a fox fur.

As he spoke, Emperor Wusheng extended his hand to Su Yan.

"Your Majesty, that was the powder I used to cover up the official seal of Princess Wuxi on my buttocks."

Upon seeing Wusheng Emperor speak, seemingly dissatisfied with his hand warmer service, Su Yan immediately began to explain. At the same time, he straightened his posture on the armrest, raised his front paws to wipe his snow-white belly clean, and then nervously wiped the water powder off Wusheng Emperor's hands.

"Oh"

Seeing Su Yan panic and lose his composure, using his fox forepaws to support the back of his hand and then cleaning his palm with his fox elbow, the Emperor Wusheng couldn't help but chuckle:

"I have no intention of harming you, so there's no need to panic. Just speak normally."

For most female demons, the presence of their own kind's offspring gives them more patience.

Moreover, when Xi'er returned, she carried the memories of her time with Su Yan. In the heart of Emperor Wusheng, Su Yan was not some wild fox, but a junior she knew.

Therefore, seeing Su Yan's panicked and fearful appearance, Emperor Wusheng couldn't help but chuckle.

"You know my secret, and I haven't executed you yet, so why would I care about getting my hands dirty?"

Emperor Wusheng spoke these words, but after pulling his hand out of Su Yan's hand, he slapped the fox's back and vigorously wiped the rouge and powder off his palm.

Just like when you pet a dog's head and feel its saliva, you instinctively rub it back onto the dog.

Clearly, Emperor Wusheng still had some reservations.

Chapter 129 Auntie! Let's keep a low profile from now on!

"Tell me about your background."

The Emperor of No Life raised his hand and gently patted Su Yan's forehead. An invisible breeze swept from Su Yan's head down his fur, and a wisp of white dust blew out from the tip of Su Yan's tail and fell to the ground.

Su Yan looked completely refreshed from head to toe, as clean as if she had just been washed.

Emperor Wusheng spoke calmly and asked Su Yan a question.

Although the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has a prestigious name, the total number of foxes in the three major clans does not exceed two hundred. Compared with other exotic beast clans, the number of individual Nine-Tailed Foxes is so small that it is worthy of the adjective "endangered species".

Although Su Yan is not a pure nine-tailed fox, you can tell from her fur color that she comes from the You Su clan. The entire You Su clan has only about forty foxes. How could a nine-tailed fox like Su Yan end up in Xia Yu's territory?

Emperor Wusheng was not very familiar with this, and Xi'er had no such information in her memories.

Xi'er never inquires about other people's identities. No matter what their identities or backgrounds are, there is absolutely no one in the world who can overpower her, so it is no need to care about their identities.

Xi'er could be indifferent, but Emperor Wusheng could not. Therefore, after finishing her work, she asked Su Yan how he got from the Eastern State to the Central State.

"Uh, my mother's name is Su Qing," Su Yan said awkwardly, revealing her mother's name.

Upon hearing the name Su Qing, Emperor Wusheng immediately understood why Su Yan had appeared in the Central Province.

The incident involving the North Sea Dragon Clan caused quite a stir back then, and Su Qing, as one of the main figures, naturally became known throughout the cultivation world. However, the North Sea Dragon Clan's order for rape and abduction only included a portrait of Ao Renlin, and did not target the Su Clan's Nine-Tailed Fox, Su Qing.

Therefore, the cultivation world only knew Su Qingming, and not many cultivators had seen her face.

"It seems that the elders of the Su clan don't like me. They shout and threaten to kill me whenever they see me. I had no choice but to flee to the land of Xia Yu overnight to avoid trouble," Su Yan explained to Emperor Wusheng with a sigh.

Emperor Wusheng frowned slightly, sensing a hidden meaning and loophole in Su Yan's words, and advised, "Execute the Deceitful Emperor."

The Su family fox population was already small, and even if they disliked Su Yan's background, they would never openly threaten to kill him upon meeting him. Su Yan's recognition of his ancestry was a foregone conclusion, so Emperor Wusheng was certain that the little fox in front of him was talking nonsense.

"!?"

Startled by the words of the Unborn Emperor, Su Yan dared not hide his experiences and recounted his encounter with the clan elders in a rambling manner, a bead of sweat appearing on his forehead.

The immortal before him was named Emperor Wusheng, and his nickname in the martial arts world was Holy Mother of the Ten Directions who nurtures all spirits. Su Yan had no idea whether Emperor Wusheng was joking with him.

Startled by the Emperor of No Life, Su Yan confessed everything.

"Pfft."

Upon learning of Su Yan's experiences, even the seasoned Emperor Wusheng, who had seen countless storms, couldn't help but burst into laughter, his eyes crinkling with amusement.

The elders of the Yousu clan were truly outrageous. Because they were worried that Su Yan, who possessed dragon blood, would turn into a nine-tailed lecherous demon after reaching adulthood and spread his love everywhere, thus ruining the reputation of the Yousu Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, they decided to kill him before he could experience sexual intercourse as an adult.

The clan elders vowed to defend the reputation of the You Su clan to the death and would never allow a nine-tailed lecherous demon to appear in the clan!

"Since Su was the most devoted in love, it's not hard to understand why they would have such thoughts."

Emperor Wusheng raised his hand and poked Su Yan's nose, speaking with a smile: "I don't think they were joking with you. If you fall into their hands, they might really send you to my palace."

Although this may sound like a stereotype, the Su family foxes were indeed very devoted to each other. Once they had chosen a partner, they never looked back. Empress Su, the mother of Emperor Wusheng, is one of the representative figures.

The clan also revered this kind of unwavering love until death, so in the cultivation world, one could often see the elders of the Su clan capturing foxes that had escaped from the clan's territory in search of their true destiny.

“The elders would not say such a thing,” Emperor Wusheng said. “Those who truly want to eradicate you are the Yousu clan, who admire infatuation.”

"My bell doesn't bother them," Su Yan said, quite indignantly.

After chuckling, Emperor Wusheng did not press Su Yan further about his background.

Having learned the names of both his parents, Su Yan's ancestral information was already in the mind of the Unborn Emperor, so there was no need to ask any further questions.

Emperor Wusheng reached into the void, fumbled for a moment, and took out a plate containing some snacks made from the meat of the Fei beast. He placed it in front of Su Yan, inviting him to eat something to appease him.

Judging from Su Yan's slightly chubby appearance, he must really enjoy eating these snacks.

………………

"His Majesty."

While Emperor Wusheng was feeding his kin's cubs, in the long-open space tunnel on the platform, Grand Tutor Jin, dressed in a crimson official robe, returned empty-handed and called out to Emperor Wusheng from afar: "The extermination is complete."

Emperor Wusheng glanced at the Grand Tutor and nodded slightly.

Grand Tutor's trip was to the location of the Left Protector. The Left Protector's Taoist name was Fairy Physician. Strictly speaking, she did not actually belong to the disciples of the Nightmare Town in the Central State. She should be considered as an assistant when the Emperor of No Life disguised himself as the Holy Mother of Nurturing All Spirits and Ten Directions.

The Fairy Physician is a woman of extraordinary talent in medicine and alchemy, possessing unparalleled skill in both.

Emperor Wusheng dispatched the Grand Tutor in person, not to hold the Fairy Physician accountable, but to have the Grand Tutor order the Fairy Physician to be brought under state control. Judging from the Grand Tutor's empty-handed return, the matter should have been settled.

After learning that Xia Chongming had been brought to justice, the Fairy Physician did not hesitate to report the Nightmare Suppression Sect and truthfully informed all the hall masters and incense masters of their locations.

The Nightmare Town Cult in Central Province is a sect led by Xia Chongming, which inherited the documents and records left by the former Emperor Wusheng. Xia Chongming has now been executed, and facing the questioning of the former Emperor Emeritus, the Fairy Physician naturally could not utter any foolish words of defiance.

………………

The purge of the Nightmare Town Cult continued into the night. Seeing that it was getting late, Emperor Wusheng opened a spatial tunnel to send Su Yan back to the brothel. Now that all threats had been eliminated, there was no need to worry about the Nightmare Town Cult launching an attack on Xia Yu's main city.

Su Yan no longer needed to worry about any danger, as Emperor Wusheng protected Su Yan as promised until he was safe.

Su Yan glanced back at Emperor Wusheng, then stepped into the spatial tunnel. He poked his head out from the spatial rift and saw the familiar Ruchun Garden Hall, where his aunt and her entourage were sitting on a bench chatting.

Su Yan's face lit up with joy, and she leaped up from the spatial tunnel and pounced on her aunt:

"Auntie! It's super scary!"

Su Yan threw herself into her aunt's arms, letting out a long string of whimpers before saying, "Sister Xi'er's identity is terrifying!"

"?"

The aunt looked at the whimpering baby in her arms, her face full of questions.

What's wrong with this little fox? Before, she was calling him "Sister Xi'er" so happily, as if she were seeing a family member. Why is she now talking badly about that ghost with the character "Xi" behind his back?

"We must show her respect when we see her in the future." After expressing her shock, Su Yan looked at her aunt and said with a serious expression.

Sister Xi'er doesn't have Empress Su as her grandmother, but is a fragment of the soul of the current Emperor Wusheng.

Emperor Wusheng!

That's the head of the Xia Yu Dynasty's branch!

Chapter 130 I'm Suffering! (Third Update, Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets: 66)

"There is no Nine-Tailed Fox Grandmother at all. Sister Xi'er and the other ghosts are none other than Emperor Wusheng himself!"

After cuddling in her aunt's arms for a while, Su Yan, with an exaggerated expression, told her aunt all the secrets she had seen and heard during her half-day absence.

Of course, Su Yan absolutely dared not reveal anything about the 'Holy Mother of Nurturing All Spirits and Ten Directions', as Emperor Wusheng had previously said for no reason that he would pardon Su Yan for the crime of spying.

At first, Su Yan didn't quite understand the meaning of those words. Later, when she saw Emperor Wusheng persuading Xia Chongming, she realized that Emperor Wusheng's earlier words about pardoning meant that anyone who knew Emperor Wusheng's nickname in the martial arts world would be severely punished!

Su Yan couldn't tell anyone else about this, but the Wusheng Emperor clearly didn't care too much about Jiu You's identity. The fact that she could summon Jiu You back in front of court officials and sect cultivators meant that the matter was probably public knowledge to some extent.

As soon as Su Yan said this, the aunt's expression gradually became subtle.

After learning Xi'er's identity, Hua Yu's eyes twitched slightly involuntarily. Both of them had some connection with Xi'er, so they were both surprised to learn her identity.

The disappearance of Empress Su, the ascension of Emperor Wusheng, and the appearance of Jiuyou were not far apart in time. The cultivators who knew of Jiuyou's existence always believed that Jiuyou, according to the rumors, should contain the soul of Empress Su. However, they never expected that Jiuyou, one of the Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom, would have such an explosive identity.

"Pfft, what? Jiuyou is His Majesty the Emperor?"

The bigwigs at the long table showed varying degrees of surprise at Jiu You's identity, but Zhou You, sitting in the outer area of ​​the hall, spat out his wine when Su Yan revealed Jiu You's identity, his face filled with a dumbfounded expression.

Zhou You's original intention in returning to Xia Yu's main city was that while traveling in the southern part of Xia Yu's territory, he learned that Jiu You had recently appeared in Xia Yu's main city. So he rushed back to Xia Yu's main city to find out information about Jiu You and wanted to record the characteristics of the nine ghosts in his book.
