Chapter 949 “Mountain (6)”
Not far away from the main body of humans, Hu Bud Wei could see the others are keeping their distance from himself and decides bring up his thought. “Mei’er, is what you said really true, that jade token is yours and she stole it?” he asks with a tinge of worry in his voice.
The fox demoness didn’t give any hint of deceit from her end and answered promptly: “Father, you know I’m not quip to lie. That jade token really is mine, I carved it some time ago and only wore it once. Maybe that’s why you don’t have any recollection? As for the part that she wanted to seduce the king….” Hu Mei took a second to organize her story, “That happened while you were in closed door training. She thought we are close to the palace because we are foxes and could connect her with the right people. Furthermore, did you see that weapon in her hands?”
Hu Bud Wei’s eye flashed meaningful at that reminder. He’s not blind, he could tell Bai Yan was only a lower leveled Saint Rank. However, through the support of that frosty bone quill, she’s able to stay on top of so many stronger cultivators. It’s not hard to image how valuable that weapon was if it’s used by another.
“She promised me,” the fox demoness bites her lip like she’s aggravated by her own decision, “if I help her then she will give me that bone quill. I naturally refused her of course! I’ve always been a free minded soul so how can I betray the king for the mere sake of a divine weapon?”
That finally relieved the fox chief. Making a long sigh: “That’s good to hear. I was really afraid this woman would be the real demon queen herself.”
“What do you mean by that Father?”
“Nothing to worry about my dear, it just so happens that I’ve learned of the queen visiting the border city and will be here any day now. I’ve never met Her Highness before so I can’t be certain of her face or identity. It’s good that your story is true, now we have nothing to worry about.”

While the fox chief was smiling on the face, the daughter on the other hand wasn’t so calm in the heart anymore. She’s shuddering from shock and nearly fell over backwards.
It can’t be…. that woman really is the queen?
No! No, it can’t be! Even if she is the queen, why would she come to this border city? There’s no way she can prove herself. What’s more, a human entering the demonic mountain range will only die at the end. She will never come back, never!
“You need to stop worrying all the time Father. Maybe the queen herself is still on the road and won’t be some time before she arrives. There are so many shameless women in this world, I’m sure this one is only an imposter. Do you really believe an outsider over your own daughter?”
“I of course believe in you my dear,” the fox chief breaks out into a happy smile, “you are much smarter than your older sister so I’m very confident you won’t make the same mistake she did in the past.”
Perhaps it’s the parental bond, or just this family of foxes are just that dumb, but Hu bud Wei didn’t take notice of that split second of worry in the girl’s face when he said that.
……
Inside the spooky and dark forest.
Bai Yan had just landed on the ground and stopped running when she confirmed there are no more pursuers in the back: “Dragony, how are you feeling now?”
“It’s much better than before, but my tummy still feels uncomfortable.” Hanging her head, the little missy sounds uneasy, “Mother, am I useless? If it was Brother here, he will certainly be able to help Mother solve the problem.”
Smiling at how sensible her goddaughter was being, Bai Yan could only smile and nothing else: “You silly, he’s already seven this year. Compared with you who only had your mind opened last year, you are already doing extraordinarily well. Wait some more, you will definitely be able to help me like he does, okay?”
