“Gained 5 Source Power Value.”

As Ashiya Doman’s body was completely turned to ashes by the Fire of the Seven Emotions, Qing Ji reverted to her human form. She turned to Su Ziyu, a bit embarrassed, tidied her clothes slightly, and gracefully walked to his side.

“Husband,” Qing Ji turned to look at the Three-tailed Fox not far away and said softly, “that Dog Demon has been burned by me.”

Of course, I know.

Su Ziyu looked at the ashes of Ashiya Doman’s body, and couldn’t help but recall the scene of himself being burned to ashes in the True Dream Realm.

If Qing Ji flips out, it’s really a terrifying thing.

The Source Power Value dropped by the Dog Demon wasn’t as much as encountered before. Su Ziyu walked over and used Spiritual Energy to lift Ashiya Doman’s ashes, glancing through it without finding any valuable loot. Anything of value might have been burnt by Qing Ji.

“Thank you, Lord Su, for your assistance.” The voice of the Three-tailed Fox came distantly. She slightly bowed and said, “It’s still early. How about coming to my place for a sit?”

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, “Let’s go.”

The Three-tailed Fox heard the words and smiled, showing her teeth. She gently waved at the bamboo forest behind her, and a very slender and graceful fox jumped out, landing quietly in her hands, appearing very docile and obedient.

Pipe Fox.

A relatively common demon.

It can hide its slender body in bamboo pipes, and many Yin Yang Masters carry them around.

This Pipe Fox seemed to be Ashiya Doman’s Shikigami. It was quietly lying in the hands of the Three-tailed Fox, and when Su Ziyu’s gaze swept over, it timidly hid behind her.

“This child is also quite pitiful.” The Three-tailed Fox showed a hint of sympathy and compassion and said softly, “Ashiya Doman fed other Shikigami to the Dog Demon, and it survived because it had some use.”

Su Ziyu nodded slightly. Naturally, he wouldn’t trouble such a small demon.

As long as it’s not a Pollution Entity, it’s fine.

The hot spring inn run by the Three-tailed Fox remained the same, but it seemed to have few guests, with only a large green toad lying at the entrance. Upon seeing the Three-tailed Fox, it quickly scrambled up in a flustered manner and respectfully said, “Boss. You’re back.”

“Tell the kitchen to prepare some food,” the Three-tailed Fox nodded slightly and instructed.

Then, she turned around with a smile and said, “Lord Su, please come in.”

This hot spring inn is a fox den.

This was Su Ziyu’s second visit. He glanced around slightly, puzzled, “What about those little cats?”

“The Nine Lives Cat took them away.” The Three-tailed Fox was kneeling in front of Su Ziyu, making tea, and said softly, “They were only temporarily boarding here.”

Soon, fox demons came out, carrying some delicacies.

Su Ziyu motioned for Qing Ji to sit beside him, then chatted casually with the Three-tailed Fox in front of him, whose conversation skills were excellent, with flattering remarks that were seamless and extremely comfortable, making Su Ziyu linger until dusk before leaving.

Outside the Cyan Bamboo Forest.

Su Ziyu had just left when he stopped and turned to look at Qing Ji beside him, asking in a deep voice, “Did you feel something was off about that Three-tailed Fox?”

“Huh?” Qing Ji looked bewildered and cautiously asked, “Husband? Is there something wrong with her?”

“I don’t know.” Su Ziyu shook his head slowly and said, “It’s just that I purely feel something is off. She’s changed quite a bit since the last time we met.”

Qing Ji slightly furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, “I didn’t notice anything.”

“She just looks like an ordinary fox spirit.”

This time, the Three-tailed Fox didn’t mention seeking revenge for her. Though she still flattered, her demeanor was much more composed compared to last time. Su Ziyu used Spiritual Vision to observe her but didn’t find anything abnormal.

“Forget it.”

“As long as it’s not a Pollution Entity, it’s fine.” Su Ziyu shook his head, turned around, and headed back to Kyoto with Qing Ji.

Meanwhile.

Inside the hot spring inn of the Cyan Bamboo Forest, in a room filled with light water vapor, the Three-tailed Fox walked in, dressed in a pure white bathrobe. She gently waved to dismiss the others, then sat at the dressing table, her eyes falling on the bronze mirror in front of her.

“You actually wanted to resist today?” The Three-tailed Fox elegantly spoke to her reflection in the mirror.

“I didn’t.” A slight change occurred in the Three-tailed Fox’s expression in the mirror, somewhat frightened, “I… I was just a little scared…”

“Rest assured. I won’t take your body.” The Three-tailed Fox extended her slender fingers, picking up a comb to tidy her long azure hair, with an elegant and composed look, “I am only borrowing your body temporarily. I will return it to you after some time.”

“And you want to deal with Jiutun Tongzi; I will also think of a way to help you.”

“But the premise is that you don’t cause trouble for me again.”

The expression of the Three-tailed Fox in the mirror was frightened, “I… I won’t dare…”

The Three-tailed Fox stood up gently, then shed her bathrobe in the misty water vapor, stepping into the hot spring. She let out a whispering moan of comfort, slowly saying, “Indeed, having a body is good.”

In Kyoto.

Su Ziyu had just returned to his residence when he saw Abe Yoshimasa not far away, along with six Snake Princesses standing forlornly together. Nearby was a half-burned house, with the fire seemingly recently extinguished, some embers still emerging from the ruins. Some Yin Yang Masters in the distance were pointing but dared not approach, even the son of Abe no Seimei showed considerable caution.
