At that banquet, Patriarch Zhong ordered someone to drug Mr. Mo’s wine and food. After Mr. Mo fainted, he brought him to his daughter’s room and pretended that they spent the night together. The next day, he deliberately let the young lady serving Miss Zhong ‘accidentally’ see this scene. Then, he brought all the guests to his daughter’s room to see the scene in order to force Mr. Mo to marry his daughter.
He had a brilliant plan.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Mo refused to give in. In a fit of anger, he actually activated the wrath of the Thunder God, struck the entire Zhong Clan, and successfully escaped.
Because of this, the Zhong family became the laughingstock of the entire continent. After the Zhong family’s patriarch’s father found out about his son and granddaughter’s actions, he was enraged.
Filled with hatred and anger, Patriarch Zhong didn’t hesitate to expend the entire clan’s financial resources to invite all the Prime Emperor powerhouses in the world to pursue Mr. Mo. It was said that Mr. Mo’s cultivation level was so powerful that he actually severely injured nearly ten Prime Emperors all alone.
That battle was earth-shattering and almost destroyed a fifth of the Divination Continent. After a few days of battle, since the heavily injured Mr. Mo would rather die than submit, he jumped into the Divine Lock Abyss.
Since then, the story of the Demon Fox Moran had been passed down.
On the Divination Continent, Demon Fox Moran had become the representative of Homme Fatale.
Because Demon Fox Moran was too famous, the entertainment and literary world on the Divination Continent even used him as a reference to film many classic movies and television dramas.
Jing Jiaren had even seen those movies and television dramas before.
Therefore, when she heard Yu Huang mention the Demon Fox, Jing Jiaren’s curiosity was piqued. “Why are you mentioning the Demon Fox?”
Yu Huang told Jing Jiaren, “The Demon Fox’s real name is Mo Xiao. Back then, after he jumped into the Divine Lock Abyss, he didn’t die. Instead, he went to the Holy Spirit Continent by chance. Because he learned divination in the Divine Moon Empire, he also became the Grand State Master of the Holy Spirit Continent’s Divine Moon Empire. He was my adoptive father and taught me divination.”
Yu Huang glanced at Jing Jiaren and explained, “This is why I have the power of divination in my body.”
When Jing Jiaren heard Yu Huang’s explanation, she refused to believe it and said, “The Divine Lock Abyss is a place where one can never return from. Even my father almost died in the Divine Lock Abyss. The demon fox, Moran, jumped into the Divine Lock Abyss back then, so how could he still survive?!”
Jing Jiaren didn’t believe Yu Huang’s words and thought that she was lying.
“You don’t believe me?” Yu Huang’s waist flashed, and nine black fox tails suddenly appeared behind her. “There’s only one black nine-tailed fox in the world. The black nine-tailed fox beast form in my body was personally given to me by my adoptive father! I can fabricate lies, but not my beast form!”
As Jing Jiaren stared at the nine incomparably huge black furry tails behind Yu Huang, she was instantly speechless.
“In that case, you and Yin Mingjue really are not father and daughter?” Jing Jiaren was actually hesitant to confirm Yu Huang’s relationship with her aunt. Her attitude seemed firm when she exposed Yu Huang’s true identity earlier, but she actually wasn’t that sure.
Therefore, after seeing the fox tail behind Yu Huang’s waist, she believed Yu Huang’s explanation.
Yu Huang shook her head. “I said I wasn’t, but you didn’t believe me.”
Jing Jiaren knew she was in the wrong.
“I’m sorry, I was too paranoid.” After Jing Jiaren apologized, she said, “Yu Huang, don’t get too close to Ye Qingyang.”
Yu Huang smiled and asked, “What’s the reason?”
Jing Jiaren said, “Ye Qingyang’s lifeline is only 17 years old. No one knows how he survived, but he’s a ghostly cultivator, so it’s not good for you to be too close to him.”
Yu Huang’s gaze suddenly turned cold when she heard this. “Miss Jing, the Jing family must be proud to be able to nurture an heiress like you.”
Yu Huang sounded like she was praising Jing Jiaren, but Jing Jiaren knew that Yu Huang was mocking her. She frowned slightly and asked her in confusion, “Yu Huang, what are you talking about? Why are you so hostile to me?”
The smile on Yu Huang’s face disappeared and she said, “You’re very smart, since you know how to weigh the pros and cons according to the situation. As expected of the successor of a qualified large family. When you found out that your fiancé’s lifeline only had a lifespan of 17 years old, you left your fiancé in the lurch.”
“To the Jing family, you’re indeed a qualified successor. However, you’re not a qualified person.” Glancing at Jing Jiaren, who was biting her rosy lips a little angrily, Yu Huang sneered and said, “I’m not interested in befriending someone who leaves her fiancé in the lurch.”
Jing Jiaren’s expression was ugly, but she remained silent.
Clearly, she knew very well that Yu Huang was right.
Yu Huang returned to her bedroom and packed a few things. Then, she quickly left the room and went to Sheng Xiao’s temporary dormitory.
When she arrived, Ye Qingyang’s illness had already acted up. He raised his head and looked at Yu Huang with a gloomy gaze as he asked in a flustered voice, “Why are you so slow?”
After Yu Huang placed the toiletries in her hand on the bedside table, she walked behind Ye Qingyang and summoned the Purifying Spirit Scepter while saying, “Ye Qingyang, what kind of horse do you think is a good horse?”
Ye Qingyang was stunned and felt that this question was somewhat baffling.
But he still thought about it seriously and said, “A fast horse?”
Sheng Xiao walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. As he dried his hair, he said, “You’re wrong. A horse that doesn’t backtrack is a good horse.”
When Yu Huang heard this, her lips curled up slightly.
Ye Qingyang immediately understood and asked Yu Huang, “Did Jing Jiaren cause trouble for you?”
“It’s not troublesome.” Yu Huang pressed her hand on Ye Qingyang’s head and said, “Close your eyes. We’re starting.”
Ye Qingyang quickly closed his eyes.
When endless psychic energy surged into Ye Qingyang’s body like a spring and washed away the ghost energy in his body along his meridians and bones, Ye Qingyang understood for the first time what it felt like to be saved.
He subconsciously let down his guard, and like an innocent child, he sat in front of Yu Huang obediently and cooperated with her Spirit Purification.
This Spirit Purification lasted for two and a half hours.
When it ended, Ye Qingyang felt unprecedented fear. His bones, which had been burned by the black flames for more than ten years, felt as comfortable as if they were soaked in hot spring water. When he raised his head and saw Yu Huang, who had a tired expression, he immediately felt grateful.
“Thank you.” His tone was filled with unprecedented sincerity and humility.
Yu Huang waved her hand. “For the spirit stones and the villa, it’s all worth it.”
Ye Qingyang was speechless. “You’re quite straightforward.”
“Get lost. I’m going to sleep now.” Then, Yu Huang fell onto Sheng Xiao’s bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
Ye Qingyang was too lazy to go back. He saw that Sheng Xiao’s dormitory was quite spacious, so he said, “I’ll lie on the floor for the night.” Then, he laid on the floor and closed his eyes with the bone sword in his arms.
From his calm attitude, he didn’t seem to treat himself as an outsider at all.
As Sheng Xiao stared at the woman on the bed and the man on the floor, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
Before he even had a child, he started the life of raising a child.
The next morning, the new students woke up early to head to the announcement hall and see the results immediately. When the new students saw Ye Qingyang following Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang out of the same dormitory, they were baffled.
What was the relationship between these three people?
It didn’t seem like they were in a love triangle.
They couldn’t be family, right?!
