Since Siyang was here..,
It also represented everything about Daji. To her sister Clove..,
She had done her best.
She wanted to take her away from this place of trouble.
Unfortunately, she didn't listen to her advice. If she forced her away..,
She would only fall into the mire.
Sisterhood..,
From the words that day, it could be seen how shallow it was.
Since that was the case, they could only be separated from each other.
They went their separate ways.
They only hoped that Clove would be in a dangerous place.
Leave her life behind.
It was night.
Tonight, the sky was clear.
There were stars in the sky, but there was no moonlight. It looked like a good time to do something.
The two eunuchs guarding the door.
They had been guarding the Fragrance Palace day and night. After a long time, they also became tired.
Originally, the two of them had to stand at their posts.
But today's weather was good. The first half of the night was fine.
It was almost midnight.
It was the most sleepy time.
One of them said that he was going to sleep.
The other person would be replaced later. This was something they had discussed among themselves. However, after the first person left, the other person who was left behind couldn't hold back his sleepiness anymore. He yawned and found a corner to sit down and take a nap. Anyway, the people patrolling this place at night wouldn't pass by, so no one would find out that he was slacking off.
The person living here was just a sinful concubine. Who would care?
The door of the Fragrance Palace was wide open. The wind blowing through the hall blew the curtains in the hall. A candle flickered, making Siyang's shadow on the ground blurry.
All the rare antiques in the empty bedroom had been moved away when King Zhou ordered Siyang to be locked up here. All that was left was the simple bed she was sitting on.
Siyang sat against the wall. Little Geek was lying on the side. He had already fallen asleep. This little thing ate and slept well.
"You're here."
Nine-tailed Fox appeared without warning. She suddenly appeared by the bed. She raised a pair of bewitching eyes and looked at Siyang. Her voice was soft and gentle. "You're waiting for me."
"That's right."
Nine-tailed Fox looked at her in surprise. She narrowed her eyes and probed, "You've thought it through."
Siyang smiled. With bright eyes and white teeth, she was as beautiful as the moon. She nodded her snow-white chin and said casually, "What if I say yes?"
Staring at her face, Nine-tailed Fox's heart itched unbearably. She had cultivated for so many years, all for the sake of having a good body. Now that it was right in front of her, she almost could not resist the urge to take it.
"That's right. I will help you take back everything that belongs to you. I won't let you suffer here anymore." As she spoke, Nine-tailed Fox slowly leaned forward. She placed her hands on the hard bed and inched closer.
Just as Nine-tailed Fox was about to touch Siyang, Siyang twisted her body and leaned against the wall. At the same time, she moved Little Geek, who was startled by the uninvited guest, into the room.
"But I don't want to be jealous of you in the palace."
"What did you say?" Nine-tailed Fox froze. She thought she had misheard.
The corner of Siyang's mouth twitched. She looked at Nine-tailed Fox and did not dodge. She slowly enunciated each word, "I said … I don't want to stay in the palace."
"Since you're here to help me, why don't you take me back to Ji Zhou? I don't think this request is difficult. After all, you come and go without a trace in the palace."
She thought of too many of Siyang's requests. They were all unbearable unfair experiences. She did not expect this answer.
Seeing Nine-tailed Fox's stunned expression, Siyang raised her eyebrows, "What, you can't do it?"
Nine-tailed Fox's body instantly turned into the Five Elements. However, in the next moment, she appeared beside Siyang. She pinched her chin and said with hatred, "Is this all you've got?"
"Are you willing to allow those people who humiliated you to continue to live freely?"
"I want to return to Ji Zhou. That's all." Forced to look up at Nine-tailed Fox, Siyang's eyes did not show any fear. She calmly responded, "You said you're here to help me. Naturally, you'll help according to my wishes. Or …" Her eyes darkened, "… your so-called help is just a pretense."
Her hand that was pinching Siyang slid down and grabbed her slender neck.
"Tsk tsk, you're really a beauty. If I kill you like this, how long will it take for someone to find your corpse?"
"You won't kill me."
"You're very confident?" Nine-tailed Fox's heart was filled with anger. Tonight, she came full of expectations. Now, she was resentful. Some things were out of her control.
Siyang looked at her. Her vital point was being pinched, making it difficult for her to breathe. However, her beautiful eyes were unperturbed, "Because … if I die …" She grabbed Nine-tailed Fox's sleeve and struggled to get close to her ear, "… where will you find a body as perfect as mine?"
In an instant, the fox's eyes glowed red. They were like two rubies, flickering with a demonic light. The sharp claws of her hand that was pinching Siyang's neck instantly popped out, "You …"
"Ahhh —"
A mournful scream resounded throughout the entire palace. It startled countless night birds that were perched on the trees outside. It also caused the inner servants that were deep in sleep to immediately wake up from their dreams.
The scream continued, but it did not sound like a human's voice.
The sound came from the Xiangxiang Palace in front of them. There was not a single light in this palace. At this moment, it was more like a haunted house. It was so eerie and terrifying that it seemed like it could swallow someone whole.
A few palace servants that passed by were trembling in fear and huddled together.
"Ahhh, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!" A person in front of them frantically ran over while shouting loudly.
"That, that seems to be the Xiangxiang Palace's gatekeeper."
"It can't really be a ghost, right …"
A few palace servants looked at each other in dismay. One by one, they ran away in a panic. At this moment, they only wanted to get as far away from this place as possible.
Nine-tailed Fox howled in pain. She clutched her chest and lay on the ground. At this moment, she no longer had the arrogance from before. The nine tails behind her were all exposed. They were furry and spread out on the ground. Some of them were waving wildly. Her hands had all turned into fox claws. She could no longer maintain her human form.
Siyang stood a few steps away from her, holding a sword in her hand.
It was a peach wood sword. The sword was three feet and three inches long. The golden runes on the body of the sword were faintly flashing, restraining the demonic aura that filled the room.
Everything in the world had a counter to each other. Peach wood was good for warding off evil and repelling demons. This peach wood sword was especially good for dealing with Nine-tailed Fox.
"You, you dare … hurt this lord …" Nine-tailed Fox's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She glared fiercely at Siyang. She wanted nothing more than to immediately pounce on her and eat her. However, when she touched the peach wood sword in her hand, her eyes were filled with deep fear and dread.
Siyang curled her lips and smiled like a blooming poppy. She raised her hand and casually waved the sword. Seeing Nine-tailed Fox backing away in fear, she mocked: "Why can't I?"
"What are you planning? Do you really think I don't know?" Step by step, she walked closer and pointed the sword at Nine-tailed Fox. Her gaze was sharp and her voice also became cold: "You tried to seduce my mind and take over my body. You should be aware that you will be counterattacked."
"You, you found out?" Nine-tailed Fox was still in disbelief and continued to back away.
"You were too impatient." With a light snort, Siyang didn't want to waste any more words with her.
"What do you want to do?" Nine-tailed Fox realized something was wrong.
"Of course I want to kill you." In response to her words, Siyang's hand didn't stop moving. She raised the sword and viciously slashed at Nine-tailed Fox's body.
If she didn't use this opportunity to kill Nine-tailed Fox, she would only be looking for trouble in the future. As for whether Nine-tailed Fox was destroyed or not, Siyang didn't care. After all, if Nine-tailed Fox died, there would be something else to replace her. Just like Daji, they were all just pawns.
"No —" The peach wood sword with golden runes slashed down at Nine-tailed Fox. She only felt that all the Daemon Qi in her body was about to surge out uncontrollably, and her body felt like it was on fire.
Bang —
After the loud noise, Siyang's vision blurred as a layer of white mist flashed past. By the time she waved her hand, Nine-tailed Fox's figure had already disappeared. Only a pool of blood was left behind.
"It still won't work." Looking at the peach wood sword in her hand that had already dimmed with runes, Siyang couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
When she first came here, Siyang only thought of one way to deal with Nine-tailed Fox, and that was to use the disciple of the Chanism, Cloud Neutron.
Cloud Neutron was the disciple of the Primeval Lord of Heaven, but he wasn't one of the Twelve Golden Immortals. It was only during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation that he managed to escape, unlike the Twelve Golden Immortals who had their three flowers on the top of their heads cut off and their cultivation scattered. Therefore, he was also known as the Blessed Immortal.
Cloud Neutron was the first one who wanted to get rid of Nine-tailed Fox. He once wanted to reverse the fate of Yin Shang, but unfortunately, King Zhou was unable to help, and Nine-tailed Fox managed to escape.
How could Siyang let go of such a great help? She couldn't leave the palace, so she asked Bo Yikao to go to Mount Zhongnan to find Cloud Neutron. She originally thought that he would come in person.
However, she didn't expect that he would only deliver a peach wood sword in the end.
Perhaps Nine-tailed Fox wasn't fated to die yet.
The mahogany sword was imbued with the spiritual power of the runes. After stabbing the nine-tailed fox with the sword and slashing her with the sword, the spiritual power collapsed and could not support her anymore. She took advantage of the loophole and escaped.
"Then I can only hope that we don't meet again in the future." After putting away the sword, Siyang looked at the ground again. Only then did she realize that Nine-tailed Fox had left something behind when she fled in a hurry.
A severed tail.
"I actually cut off one of her tails." Siyang picked up the big furry tail on the ground and smiled.
Nine-tailed Fox needed five hundred years of cultivation to cultivate one of her tails. Now that she had cut off one of her tails, she only had eight tails left. Her power had been damaged, so she would have to think twice before stirring up trouble. Siyang was relieved. If Nine-tailed Fox wanted to take revenge on her, she would have to wait until she recovered first.
"Wuwu …"
Something furry was rubbing against her feet.
Siyang squatted down and picked up the little thing. She scratched its chin and whispered, "Little Geek, you will come with me, right?"
What answered her was a soft cry and a finger that was wet from being licked.
"Then let's leave here."
