Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (32)

Chu Xiang immediately looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “So you knew the grievances between us and those damned Daoist masters from the beginning.”

Li Yufeng simpered and said, “Of course. Otherwise, it would be wrong of me to help two demons kill Daoist masters, right? However, so what if I don’t know? Haven’t I always been nice to you? Everything’s better now, and it will get better and better in the future, as good as it gets. How about it? Will you accept me?”

“Weren’t you talking about the different paths of mortals and demons now? Have you forgotten that you are mortal and I am a demon?” Chu Xiang looked at him, really wanting to know his thoughts.

Li Yufeng replied nonchalantly, “There are those who find the different paths of mortals and demons unacceptable. How could I be the same? I like you very much.”

“Shameless.”

“I can not not be shameless in front of you. Otherwise, I’ll never get a second glance from you for a lifetime.”

Chu Xiang said with a smile, “Then carry on with your shamelessness. Now let’s get my revenge first. Let’s go and figure out what the relationship between the Jiang family and those three Daoist masters is.”

Li Yufeng was familiar with the city, so he brought Chu Xiang into the Jiang Manor in no time.

One of the three Daoist masters was poisoned by the cold. His face was pale, and he was rather weak. He was ushered into a VIP guest room as soon as they entered the Jiang Manor. One of the other two happened to be good at medicine, so he was invited to see Miss Jiang.

The Daoist master frowned when he saw Miss Jiang’s face and eyes, “What a heavy demonic energy!!”

“Excuse me? Demonic energy?” The magistrate’s wife turned pale with fright. Although she obeyed the matriarch and invited a Daoist master, she didn’t believe a word of it deep inside. She merely took it as a last resort.

But the words “demonic energy” really scared her!

Where was the demon? Why did the demon come to harm the Jiang family? Were they in danger? How could they get rid of it?

She had a list of questions. The Daoist master was very familiar with the motions, so he didn’t give her a chance to speak at all. He said a long list of items while upholding his identity and asked the magistrate’s wife to prepare them.

Sometimes the more domineering a person was, the easier it was to convince others. The magistrate’s wife was of this nature. After listening to the Daoist master’s order, she immediately instructed someone to carry them out and entertained the Daoist master respectfully.

The Daoist master felt far from confident deep inside, so he excused himself on the grounds of practicing and went back to the VIP room. He said to the two others, “What’s going on? There is a strong demonic energy here. That concubine daughter fell into a fox demon’s enchantment. Brother, we haven’t heard news from the others. Don’t tell me… Has something happened to them?”

The Daoist master suffering from the cold poison coughed a few times and said, “It’s all my fault for dragging you guys into this. If it weren’t for refining an elixir for me, you wouldn’t have plotted against those two fox demons. Now… We also do not know what background those two fox demons have. Perhaps it is true that their companions have come looking for them.”

“Impossible. Before we dealt with them back then, Elder Brother made sure that the two of them depended on each other and had no relatives whatsoever. Although their cultivation base was strong, they were ignorant and naive. It was best to deal with them. If they really have relatives and friends, why didn’t they take them along to Snow Mountain?”

“That’s a valid point. However, who is responsible then for the concubine’s daughter in the manor? It couldn’t be those two dying fox demons, right? How could they recover so quickly?”

“But if their cultivation indeed recovered, then the disappearance of Elder Brother and the others can be explained.”

The three were a little uneasy but couldn’t come up with any ideas after talking for a long time. They only agreed that they should cure Miss Jiang first, and see what she knew.

Chu Xiang went to examine Miss Jiang. “Bai Yi did it. Why did she provoke Bai Yi?”

Li Yufeng rubbed her chin and asked, “How do you know that Bai Yi isn’t holding a grudge because of what happened last time and is making fun of her?”

Chu Xiang rolled her eyes at him. “Of course I know my sister. Bai Yi probably forgot about her after that encounter. If she hadn’t courted death and provoked Bai Yi, Bai Yi would not have troubled her. Let’s go. Let’s find Bai Yi first to know what’s going on. Let me check if she has gone out of her mind, wanting to marry that scholar and bear his children!”

Seeing her leaving, Li Yufeng hurriedly followed, and said with a smile, “With an elder sister like you, I don’t think she will be able to get married!”

“She can marry if she wants, but if she marries under the conditions she mentioned, she will be ruined sooner or later!”

Li Yufeng was in agreement. Bai Yi was too simple-minded. She possessed a lot of skills but still didn’t know how to use them. She might have adapted to using them in the Zhuang household but she didn’t have a clue about the rules of the mortal realm. If she really married that scholar, an accident was bound to happen sooner or later.

Coincidentally, when the two rushed to the Zhuang residence, they happened to hear Zhuang Liu’s slip of the tongue, letting Zhuang Yulang know that she had sold the foxes!

The mother and son broke out in a quarrel, and Bai Yi didn’t know what to do. Upon seeing Chu Xiang, she rushed to her.

“Xiang’er, you are back. They are arguing so loudly. Help me figure out how to stop them…”

“Stop what they’re doing? Let them quarrel. You, on the other hand, follow me. Let me hear your thoughts.”
