Chapter 198: Machinations

I then asked: "Xiangu, you have given Mrs. Du a blow today, so what should we do next? Should we continue to stay here or go back to Beidi Mansion first?"

"I'll stay here for two days. I want to see how Mrs. Du will react."

After that, we practiced the Five Talisman Sutra again in the first half of the night, and rested in the second half of the night when our energy was exhausted. After that night, I gained a further understanding of the Muyu Blue and White Mantra.

In the afternoon of the next day, I was invited by King Fox to discuss with him in the courtyard the future contacts between Beidi Mansion and Qingqiu.

I could see that King Fox was interested in making friends with me, and he mentioned many times the kindness that Nie Jingnu and I had in rescuing Huang Shuai.

I was naturally delighted that he took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and immediately signed several friendly covenants with him.

The general meaning is that in the future, Beidi Mansion will take special care of Qingqiu regarding matters in the underworld, so that it will not be like before when the master of Taisha Palace wrongfully accused his own son, but it was difficult for him to seek justice.

Accordingly, Qingqiu will try his best to handle my affairs in the world from now on, which is equivalent to a win-win covenant.

After that, I discussed some other trivial matters with him, and unknowingly we talked about Huang Shuai.

According to Qingqiu's laws, the Fox King's life and death are determined, and they call it a great calamity.

The great calamity is different from the minor calamities he experienced when he ascended to the throne of Fox King. It is about his final destination.

When the great catastrophe comes, the Fox King may have two results, either he can transcend the catastrophe and ascend, become an immortal and no longer interfere with the affairs of the Yin and Yang worlds.

Or he failed to overcome the tribulation, and he was born and died like a mortal, and his soul returned to the six realms of reincarnation.

Based on past experience, it seems that no fox king in the past has successfully overcome the great tribulation.

In the past thousand years, there has been only one example of someone becoming an immortal in both the Yin and Yang realms, and that was the first generation of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Sect.

After he ascended, he left behind two things, one of which was the Lingxi, and the other was the secret skill of Qiankun Jue.

There are rumors that a special barrier appeared between heaven and earth thousands of years ago, isolating heaven and earth, and was blocked by a stone gate called the Samsara Disk.

This stone door communicates between heaven and earth and can reverse time, but no one knows where it is or how to open it.

Therefore, from then on, the gods could not interfere in world affairs, and it was difficult for all creatures to become immortals. Even the supreme commander of the underworld, Emperor Fengdu, could not escape this law.

It is said that only by becoming immortals can living beings abandon their passions and escape the pain of reincarnation.

Otherwise, even if you become a Yin God in the underworld, you will not be able to escape the torture of seven emotions and six desires. Nie Jingnu, Yang Yun, is a living example.

Therefore, the Fox King knew that his chances of becoming an immortal were slim, so he had to consider his own affairs.

I said: "Young Master Fox Huang Shuai is young and promising, and should be able to inherit your orthodoxy, King Fox, but..."

I only said half of what I said, but King Fox already understood what I meant.

"Shuai'er does have the qualifications, but the inheritance of Qingqiu has troubled me. Beidi should know that I received a lot of help from the underworld to ascend to the position of Fox King."

What King Fox said was a bit euphemistic. To be precise, it was Madam Du and her father, Palace Master Zhou Jue, who supported King Fox to ascend to the throne and later married him.

In this way, he and Mrs. Du's son was the unique successor, but unexpectedly the son they gave birth to was so virtuous.

Not only was he addicted to drinking and sex all day long, but he also had a habit that made his parents embarrassed.

Just imagine, if he and Mrs. Du insist on supporting Yiyan to ascend to power, and that guy becomes Fox King and ignores government affairs, and then relies on his power to recruit a group of men to build a harem, Qingqiu will probably become the biggest laughing stock in both Yin and Yang worlds.

It was precisely because of this consideration that King Fox wanted to support Huang Shuai, but Mrs. Du refused, so the couple was actually fighting overtly and secretly.

As long as Mrs. Du persists in her insistence, King Fox will not be able to decide the matter even if he has already made up his mind.

At this time, if the evil mirror girl was present, she might take the opportunity to fan the flames, but I don't really like doing this kind of thing, so I showed a wait-and-see attitude without judging.

The Fox King and I had been discussing from the afternoon until dusk, when suddenly there was a noise from the direction of the Fox King's Palace.

The Fox King and I hurriedly went out to check the situation. At this time, a guard came to report that an evil spirit had sneaked into the Fox King's palace and had kidnapped Young Master Fox Yiyan.

When the Fox King heard this, he was immediately furious.

"What kind of evil spirit is so bold, dares to break into the Fox King's Palace and kidnap my son!"

The guard couldn't answer.

"A fox fairy said it was a very weird black shadow..."

The fox king slapped him.

"Then go check it out quickly!"

Then the Fox Palace was in chaos, and Madam Du was so angry that she killed all the fox fairies who usually took care of Yiyan, and sent a large number of people to track down the whereabouts of the so-called evil spirit.

Seeing such a big mess in the Fox Palace made me feel uneasy.

I remembered what Nie Jingnu said to me last night. She said that she had already thought of a way to deal with Mrs. Du, and that yesterday was just the beginning.

So I came up with a guess, maybe she wanted Mrs. Du to completely lose the bargaining chip to fight for the throne, so she sent someone to kidnap Yi Yan.

Then I hurriedly returned to my bedroom.

The entire Fox Palace has turned into a mess, but Nie Jingnu is sitting leisurely in the room, drinking tea and studying the Five Talisman Scripture.

After seeing me, she arranged my clothes as affectionately as before, and said softly: "What's wrong? Look at the hurried look on your face."

"Something happened in the Fox Palace. Young Master Fox Yiyan was kidnapped."

She sat down disapprovingly.

"I know, it was quite noisy outside just now."

After speaking, he actually pointed to the Five Talisman Sutra and nonchalantly told me about the exercises he planned for me to practice tonight.

I said coldly: "Xiangu, you sent someone to do it, right..."

She raised her eyebrows and looked at me.

"Why do you say that?"

I swallowed and repeated it.

"Did you send someone to do it?"

She had already seen what I meant, but she still had a calm look on her face.

"If Young Master Hu Yiyan is really gone, it won't be a bad thing for you and me.

Madam Du has no son, so Huang Shuai must be the new Fox King, and his relationship with you is so good, not only will this solve Madam Du, but Qingqiu will also become our ally from now on."

I grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"But you promised me last night that you wouldn't hurt Yiyan, he saved my life before!

Without him, I would have died at the hands of Mrs. Du, how could I repay such kindness with hatred!"

Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
