"Thank you for your kindness, godmother, but a forced melon is not sweet. This time I will listen to my elder brother."
Joining forces with Fox Two, it is not a question of whether Taifu will have children or not, but a question of how many children to have. However, this woman is not a pushover. Dual cultivation is fine, but double cultivation is not. It is better for everyone to keep a certain distance.
"My dear brother!"
Fox Three jumped up on the spot, hugged Lu Bei, and was so excited that he spoke incoherently, patting his back.
"Go away, I told you it has nothing to do with you."
Fox Two slapped Fox Three with his backhand, grabbed Fox Three with his giant blue claws, and threw him aside.
"Good boy, speak with your conscience. Is the Master annoying? Is he hateful?"
Mr. Fox was tireless in trying to guide Lu Bei to take the initiative. After all, he was the one who had the power to do things. If he didn't get involved, no matter how good the plan was, it would only be empty talk.
It was a familiar scene. Leziren had used this trick to provoke someone before. Lu Bei learned from his mistakes and didn't fall for it at all. He threw out a trump card and said with a meaningful smile, "I don't know whether Taifu is annoying or not, but she was quite cute when she was little. If I punch her, she will cry for a long time."
"When you were a child?" Fox Two was stunned when he heard that.
"Godmother doesn't know?"
Lu Bei was surprised and said happily: "Zhu Xiushi didn't tell you. I thought she dared to tell anyone anything. It turns out that she also has the time to admit defeat."
After saying this, he chuckled and took out a jade slip from his arms.
"It's New Year's Day, and I don't have anything to give to my godmother. This small token of my appreciation is a token of my respect. I wish my godmother a happy and cheerful life."
The above records the dark history of the Grand Tutor, which he has never spread to others until now. After all, the Grand Tutor is a cruel and ruthless person, and he cannot afford to eat this melon because he does not have the strength to overcome the tribulation period.
"It's so mysterious. I want to see what it is..."
"Huh? Huh! Huh—"
Fox Two took the jade slip, and immersed his mind in it. His expression changed from curiosity to shock, and finally to ecstasy.
"Great! Great!!"
“Hehehehe—”
The hearty laughter echoed over the garden, scaring the little foxes away in all directions.
"I also wish you a son soon!"
Fox Sanxiao was always talking, and he came close to his mother and said, "I knew my second brother was the best at making people crazy. Mother, show me what this good stuff is. I almost made you laugh to death."
As expected, he was slapped aside by Fox Two again.
"Do you have the right to interfere in matters between elders?"
Fox Er glared at the loser, stood up and walked to Lu Bei, hugged his godson and said, "Good boy, I am very satisfied with this gift. I thought that with your help, the Grand Master would be one generation behind me. I never expected that you are even more ruthless than me and made me rise two generations higher."
"Godmother, don't be like this. Your filial piety will become corrupted." Lu Bei was under great pressure and felt powerless to complain.
The vixen's charm was amazing, so he told her the truth and only asked her to be more restrained in the future.
"It's okay, your elder brother will take care of it."
Fox Two clenched the jade slip tightly, his pretty face still full of joy. The more he looked at his godson, the happier he became, and he rubbed his head hard several times.
I rubbed it and felt a little regretful.
Lu Bei is too fast!
If she had come to the capital to pay New Year's greetings last year, she would have used a little trick to lock her two sons in a room and then given them a secret drug that would make them infatuated. She would have had a lot of fun.
It’s not possible now. Lu Bei changes every day and his growth rate is amazing. She is unsure and can only take advantage of him by relying on her status as an elder.
"Good boy, tell me the truth, is there only one jade slip?"
"Godmother is resourceful and wise. I can't hide my tricks from you..."
Lu Bei flattered her, struggled a bit and forcefully unlocked the seal, then took out two jade slips from his arms and handed them over: "There are three in total, all for godmother, there will be no more."
"Is it really gone?" Fox Two asked suspiciously.
"How dare I lie in front of mother? I'm not the eldest brother who has to think about hosting a banquet all day long." Lu Bei shrugged. He had more than ten coins in stock, but he couldn't give them all to Hu Er. He had to keep some as a handle.
Maybe it will come in handy someday.
"Three is enough."
Fox Er held three jade slips in his hand, immersed his mind in them, smiled coquettishly, and reached out to grab Lu Bei who was beside him.
Not caught.
"Tsk, the child has grown up and thinks his mother is ugly."
"It's good that mother knows."
"Second brother is right."
Bang!
Hu San asked for a hammer and got it. Since it was not important, Lu Bei did not feel bad at all and continued the topic they had started with: "Mother, when are you going to survive the tribulation?"
"Don't worry, I want to rest for two more days now that my mother has regained her freedom."
Hu Er held the jade slip, as if thinking of something happy, and said excitedly: "The palace of the Grand Tutor is in the secret realm. Xiaobei, get ready and accompany your mother to visit him."
"Uh, my child is not feeling well, can I not go?"
"That's right. After all, you are the elder. You should let the Grand Tutor come to ask for an audience."
"… "
In the end, Lu Bei agreed to go to the Taifu's mansion with Hu Er to find fault.
But before that, he still had two more prisoners to deal with.
"Mother, do you recognize this thing?"
Lu Bei took out a scroll. The magic weapon was broken and the imprint of the soul was in danger. It was Huanhuan from the nine-tailed fox clan.
Fox Er frowned, took it, identified the soul mark, and let out a light exclamation.
"This demon's name is Huanhua, can you recognize her, mother?"
"Seems familiar, maybe I know him."
Fox Er frowned, paused, and said, "Where is she? I want to see her."
Lu Bei's face straightened and he said solemnly: "Not only her, but also..."
"Let's talk somewhere else."
…
The dark underground palace is gloomy.
Lu Bei followed behind Fox Two and saw him waving his hands to cast a talisman barrier. He quickly explained the origins of the two nine-tailed fox captives. One was captured by him for blocking the road and the other was captured in the human race's holy land.
There was another one that was wanted by the elders of the holy land. It was said to be an undercover agent of the human race. The messy relationship made Lu Bei confused, so he simply told them all.
Fox Two had little interest in the undercover agent hidden in the nine-tailed fox. He only asked about the situation of the two monsters, Huanhua and Huansi, and followed Lu Bei into the black and white door and into the small dark room.
"This magic weapon is of good quality and can be used for dual cultivation. If I'm not mistaken, Master was robbed here, right?"
"It's a rebellion, and I'm the one who got robbed."
"Tell me in detail how she treated you so that I can seek justice for you."
Hu Er's eyes lit up. There were not many people in Wu Zhou who could make her lose face, and the Taifu was one of them. It was mainly because people of the same sex repelled each other, so she just couldn't stand the Taifu's dark history.
The more the better.
Lu Bei was too lazy to say more. The black and white fish were spinning, the sound of chains rustling made its way up, and the two nine-tailed foxes were lifted up.
His clothes were torn and his shoulders were disheveled, and he looked in a miserable state.
Because of the suppression of the two mysterious treasure maps, Huanhuan and Huansi are in extremely bad condition and are now in a sealed state, similar to the former Xinzunjun. On the surface, they don't seem to have any major problems, but in fact, their souls are severely damaged and they can only be slaughtered.
"Tsk tsk, what a magic weapon."
Fox Nods repeatedly, turns to look at Lu Bei, and teases: "What pretty beauties! Even I am moved when I see them. No wonder you deceived others and kept them here."
"Mom, please stop making a fuss. I'm just worried that I might kill one of my own by mistake."
"They are not our own people, at least not the two of them."
Fox Two murmured, and then said: "You are thoughtful. This year, I received two great gifts, each one more surprising than the last. I want to talk to them both alone."
Lu Bei nodded and dodged into the black and white portal.
After he left, the chains that bound the two nine-tailed foxes loosened, the seal was lifted, and the two demons were able to catch their breath. Their sleepy spirits awakened, their eyelashes trembled, and they slowly opened their eyes.
What came into view was that Fox Two was standing with his hands on his shoulders, blowing on his nails.
"Oh, the two beauties are awake!"
Lu Bei stood next door, expecting a good show to start. To be fair, judging from the beginning, the teasing Fox Er was not a good woman at all.
Oh, never, that's fine.
"Who are you?"
Yan Si spoke in confusion, and sensing the aura that Fox Er had released, she said in a cold voice, "So that's how it is. No wonder the Holy Land of the Human Race knew about our plan in advance. It turns out that there was a traitor in the race."
"Don't frame a good demon. I've been away from the Demon Country for a long time."
Fox Er smiled coldly, stepped in front of Yin Si, looked down at her, stretched out his giant blue claws, and held Yin Si tightly. The moment their eyes met, a faint green light flickered in his eyes.
"I ask questions and you answer them."
"As you command."
Xiu Si's eyes were lifeless, she murmured and nodded, her soul being controlled by others, allowing Hu Er to do whatever he wanted.
"Nine-tailed Fox lineage, who is in power now?"
"Yinyu."
"Where is the bloodline of the Xi clan?" Fox Er narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"All exiled."
"… "
Fox Er was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "What is the current level of cultivation of Yingying? Has she obtained the blood of the Demon King?"
"No, I don't know."
Speaking of the Demon King, Xiu Si's facial features were distorted, as if she was enduring great pain, so much so that her speech was a little intermittent.
"Think about it again, how far has Yingyu gone?"
"No... I don't know..."
Xiu Si's voice became hoarse, and she cried out and groaned in pain a few times. Then her soul fell into a deep sleep, and she lowered her head and became motionless.
Fox Two threw it down, and grabbed Yinghua in his giant blue claws. Yinghua's face changed drastically, and he said in shock: "These fox eyes, you are from the bloodline of the Ying family, weren't you exiled to the wilderness, why are you still..."
Halfway through the conversation, Yuan Shen was controlled by Fox Two and obediently entered the question-and-answer session.
Like Yingsi, Yinghuan didn't know much about the current clan leader, and was completely unaware of the bloodline of the Demon King, which Fox Er cared about the most. Facing Fox Er's strong questioning, her head felt like it was being stabbed by needles, and she screamed and fainted.
"Yinyu..."
Fox Two's face was gloomy and unclear. He held Huanhua in front of him with his giant blue claws. He activated his secret technique and the shadow of a nine-tailed fox appeared behind him.
She pursed her thin lips and took a slow breath. A blue light emerged from her body and merged into the shadow of the nine-tailed fox.
Fox Two seemed to have taken some great tonic, his facial features softened and he slowly began to enjoy it.
After a moment, Yinghua's eyes turned gray, saliva flowed uncontrollably, and her delicate body twitched occasionally, which was very suitable for the style of the small dark room.
Fox Two followed the same method, using Jiusi as a cauldron and calmly harvested the two women, leaving behind the two ruined dregs.
She moaned softly in her throat, stretched comfortably, raised her hand and tapped the air: "Come out, the beauty is still alive, and you can use her after raising her for a while."
After a cup of tea, Lu Bei poked his head out and asked curiously, "Mom, have you finished asking? My brother is getting impatient."
His acting is outstanding, but it doesn't fit his character, and it's even less logical, and he can't fool Fox Two at all.
She didn't say anything, just sighed: "Why, after seeing my mother's method of collecting and replenishing the furnace, you think I'm not a good person?"
"Mom, you're joking. You're not even human like my brother."
Lu Bei pointed out the mistake, then raised his thumb and pointed at himself, saying proudly: "As a human being, I am qualified to call myself not a good person."
Fox Er chuckled, raised his hand and beckoned Lu Bei, and seeing him take a step back, he said helplessly: "Don't worry, this method of collecting and replenishing the furnace can only be used against people of the same race. You are not a fox, and your mother cannot eat you."
"No, I'm just afraid that you will do something to me, mother."
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't tease you anymore."
Fox II smiled sweetly: "You may not be a good person, but in my eyes you are a good child, much more filial than your useless elder brother."
"Then do you still want these two foxes, mother?"
“No.”
"That's good. I can't bear to see beautiful women suffer. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. I will send them off now."
