Chapter 265: Chapter 149: What Lies on the Shoulders Isn’t Necessarily Responsibility, It Could Also Be...
"This old fox."
After Lu Jin’an and the others left Taichu Hall, Zheng Dongliu, who was sitting in the chair, glanced at the letters on the table and shook his head with a chuckle, "Really knows how to make plans."
Ji Wenchang brought over a cup of clear tea and curiously asked, "What did Old Clan Chief Qiu say?"
Zheng Dongliu took a sip of tea, "Back then, the night before Qiu Miaoyu ascended the throne, she learned about the relationship between the King Court Master and the Upper Realm and decisively gave up the position of the Demon Clan Master. Although she gained the reputation of being the ’Crownless King,’ it also brought countless troubles."
He put down the tea, tapped the letters on the table with his bony fingers, "The Upper Realm wants to hold everything in the Lower Realm in their hands, on one side ’grazing,’ on the other side ’mining.’
The Human Clan, though currently not as strong as the Demon Clan, does not rely as heavily on bloodline during the cultivation process, and thus is not as severely controlled as the Demon Clan."
"The Qingqiu Fox Clan’s nine great families, although they currently all respect Qiu Miaoyu, she, who has yet to Transcend due to various old injuries flaring up, is at the end of her rope."
Zheng Dongliu tapped the letter, "She is now desperately seeking external help."
Ji Wenchang mused, "To save the Qiu’s Fox Clan?"
"No." Zheng Dongliu shook his head, "There have also been many within the Qiu’s Fox Clan opposing her." NovelBin
"Because she didn’t take the place of the King Court Master to bring greater benefits to Qingqiu?" Ji Wenchang sneered, "Do they not know the Upper Realm wants to raise them as livestock?"
"They know." Zheng Dongliu chuckled ambiguously, "But who doesn’t want to go to the Upper Realm? After all, there are more ways to Transcend there."
Ji Wenchang chuckled, "No one in the Upper Realm has Transcended for so many years... desires."
After a pause, he asked, "So all these Fox Demons sent to the Wandao Sect by Old Clan Chief Qiu are elites?"
"Not entirely." Zheng Dongliu laughed and cried, "She wants to protect Qiu Qingtang... the descendant she loves the most."
"Hm?" Ji Wenchang asked curiously, "Is Qiu Qingtang the Fox Clan’s ancestral bloodline?"
"I don’t know." Zheng Dongliu shook his head, becoming more amused, "She wants to marry... Qiu Qingtang and Jin’an."
"But she also hopes not to force it, let nature take its course. The Demon Clan and our Human Clan are the same; the older they get, the deeper their feelings. She truly loves Qiu Qingtang."
Ji Wenchang’s face darkened, "She harbors ill intentions; a marriage between the Human Clan and Demon Clan, not only will some in our Human Clan be unhappy, but the Demon Clan will also be more hostile to us...
If Qiu Qingtang truly is the ancestral bloodline, the Demon Clan’s Upper Realm Imperial Court will definitely meddle in this, does she want to divert the trouble eastward?"
Zheng Dongliu looked at the letters on the table, his gaze somewhat complicated, "She just wants to protect Qiu Qingtang... this old fox even pleaded with me in the letter."
Ji Wenchang was silent for a moment before speaking again, "But the marriage will ultimately make Wandao Sect receive more hostility."
"Are you afraid?" Zheng Dongliu countered.
"I’m not afraid."
"That’s good." Zheng Dongliu put away the letters, stepped to the door, and looked at the overcast sky, "If there are many lice, you don’t fear being bitten; if there are many debts, you don’t worry about them."
The old man smiled slightly, jokingly said, "If Jin’an and Qiu Qingtang really get together, maybe Qingqiu will have to change its surname in the future."
Ji Wenchang smiled at Zheng Dongliu’s back, his master always so optimistic.
He stepped forward to Zheng Dongliu’s back, "Do you think Jin’an will like a Fox Demon?"
"He will." Zheng Dongliu chuckled, "Don’t think this old man can’t see it, Jin’an is actually quite lustful."
"Is that so?" Ji Wenchang was taken aback, "Jin’an seems quite serious."
Zheng Dongliu glanced at Ji Wenchang, "Besides the trip to Mist River Cave Heaven, hasn’t he rarely left Taichu Peak?"
Ji Wenchang thought for a moment, "It seems so..."
"That’s it!" Zheng Dongliu stroked his mustache, "So the chance of him and Qiu Qingtang being together is quite high."
Ji Wenchang showed concern, "Sect Master, won’t you remind him a bit? As the saying goes, ’the land of gentle beauty is the hero’s tomb,’ Jin’an is just coming of age..."
Zheng Dongliu raised his hand to cut him off, "This child knows his limits, in this world, without strength, no one can protect him."
Ji Wenchang’s expression did not relax much, everyone knows how ’scary’ the Qingqiu’s foxes are, those enchanting fox spirits that ’suck the marrow of men.’
"But, Jin’an has undertaken Body Refinement..."
Ji Wenchang thought, saying no more.
······
"The weather after the rain is truly refreshing~"
"Young Master Lu, am I the first Demon Clan to come to Taichu Hall?"
Qiu Qingtang stepped over the threshold of Taichu Hall, untying her cloak’s fastenings while curiously observing the environmental layout around her.
Her face was charmingly beautiful, palm-sized with soft lines, cheeks like new peaches, skin like apricot plums, pure white and delicate, complemented by long feather-like eyelashes. Her fox-like eyes at the ends were both lively and captivating.
Below her small, elegant nose, her tender lips parted and closed, with small canine teeth adding to her liveliness.
A light green dress outlined her curvy and nimble figure, as the dress swung, it subtly revealed two slender legs hidden beneath her underpants.
From her light steps and the elegant muscle structures on her legs, she clearly possessed the agile strength of a Fox Demon, hidden beneath her delicate frame.
Lu Jin’an glanced at her, a strange glint in his eyes, this fox spirit’s waist is so slender... even more than Senior Sister’s.
Because of this slender waist, it emphasized her proud chest, resembling the alluring posture of a thin branch bearing heavy fruit.
It’s just... how can this fox spirit’s appearance and temperament be as innocent as a high school student?
"No." Lu Jin’an said, "My Master’s four maids are all demon beasts."
"Oh~" Qiu Qingtang placed her cloak inside the Universe Bracelet, "Then I’m the first to visit, right?"
