Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 47 Father Was Chidi’s Pawn

“I heard that the Majesty’s younger sister is going to get married. And her husband comes from the northern desert.”

“Who did you hear from?”

“From the palace. It is said that the Majesty is going to marry You family’s daughter. Even You Hu himself didn’t dream of it. He will become the father-in-law of the Majesty.”

“That’s right. The Majesty is picking out his harems. You see, in the entire Imperial City, the official, junior or superior, are chiselling their ways in just to get some benefits for themselves.”

“They do not concern about whether people are alive or dead.”

When Phoenix was listening to them with great interest, they stopped the topic. This time, Phoenix came out for distraction. “I don’t know what the Imperial Palace looks like in the human world. I am eager to have a look.”

“Sir, this way, please.”

“A guest room. I need a comfortable one.”

“Sir, what else would you like?”

“A pot of wine and some side dishes.”

“Okay!”

The male voice sounded a bit harsh. Phoenix looked for the voice. When seeing the familiar back, she felt her heart still lurched. “How can it be that person?” When Su Shenyang followed the waiter upstairs, Phoenix could calm down herself. She did not follow up until the man disappeared into the stairs. “Su Shenyang must have something to do in the human world. I have to go and have a look.”

“The Young Master just now is living in...”

Phoenix smiled and held taels of silver in her hand. The waiter looked at the silver with glowing eyes. Phoenix deliberately shook the taels.

“The second room on the right.”

“Got it.”

The waiter was so anxious that he reached out his hand to get the taels of silver.

“Wait, I can give you more.”

Then, Phoenix clenched more taels of silver in her hand. The waiter was exultant inwardly, thinking that, “I come across a ‘God of Fortune’ today.”

“But lend the clothes on you to me.”

“Okay, here you are.”

The minute the waiter got the taels of silver, he took off the coat briskly. Phoenix took the coat and put it on. Now she was the waiter. She touched her long hair, finding it was inappropriate, so she quickly pulled up her hair into a bun. For Su Chenyang, Phoenix was willing to have a try, only hoping that Su Chenyang would not discover her.

“Young Master, your wine and dishes are here.”

Phoenix was carefully across the door and felt nervous, afraid that something would betray her which would let Su Chenyang disgusting. Even so, she could not stop thinking about Su Chenyang.

The door was pulled open from the inside. The person standing in front made Phoenix a little abstracted, since she had never seen Su Chenyang in such close distance. He was wearing a dark blue robe without any complicated stripes on it. His inky hair titled on the shoulders, which seemed to be disheveled but free. The Su Chenyang before Phoenix was totally different from the one on the city tower. That Su Chenyang on the battlefield had military dignity.

“The wine was heated just now. It tastes stronger. Young Master, enjoy it while it is heated...”

Phoenix’s voice sounded a little cracked, her throat trembling slightly and her heart jumping. It turned out that it would be so nervous in front of the favorite person. She tried to be calm, but her hands were out of control. The wine pot in her hands was so heavy that she seemed to exhaust all of her strength to hold it.

“Young Master, please enjoy yourself.”

When Phoenix turned around and was about to leave, her hand was grabbed. Su Chenyang’s face fell dark.

“Why are you tracking me? Does Nascent Soul have another conspiracy?”

“No, I just happened upon you.”

“It sounds like real. The moment I entered the human world, I encountered an acquaintance. I am not a three-year-old child. Moreover, you once took pregnant Commander in Chief away. For you, I might as well be prepared.”

“However bad I am, I will not do harm to a woman. You don’t know the reason. How can you slander me?”

“What I saw is not the fact? The people from the fire tribe are dirty.”

“Su Chenyang, in your eyes, am I so deplorable?”

“The fire tribe and the Fairy Kingdom are at daggers drawn. You’d better leave now.”

“Fine. I swear today that I will never appear in front of you. If I break my words, I will be like this pot.”

The crack of the wine pot struck Su Chenyang’s heart. Phoenix looked at the wine spill all over the ground, her heart aching. “I am a silly woman and imagine that he will love me. I thought as long as I try harder, he will fall in love with me sooner or lager. But...”

“No matter how my heart hurts, what can I do? He does not love me. He does not love me!” Phoenix wiped the corners of her eyes and walked out of the inn. Looking at the receding woman, Su Chenyang shook his head with resignation. He had something more important to do tonight. Xiao Qi asked him to explore the fact of Chidi and told him that Chidi’s lair was under the Imperial Palace. Besides, Su Chenyang came to the human world for another purpose— to see his friend, Xu Linghe. Although they had just met once, Su Chenyang thought they were on the same wavelength.

Phoenix walked slowly, and her previous mood to enjoy was ruined indifferently by Su Chenyang. The human world was very lively, people hurrying to and fro and carriages passing by. People in gallant garment looked for their own joy. Phoenix bypassed the bustling city and trudged, her heavy footsteps echoing in the alley. Wind passing through the wall made her heart colder. The high walls in front of Phoenix isolated her from the prosperity of the city.

“Elder brother, why did Chidi ask us to find two boys? Isn’t there a Blood Pool in the palace?”

“Rubbish. Just find. Otherwise, we will get into trouble.”

“But in such an alley, it is hard to encounter a mouse.”

“Well, you don’t know it. Perhaps, a homeless child is hiding in the alley.”

“Elder brother, we are so wicked to do this. And we will not end well in the future.”

“It seems that you are tired of life. If Chidi knows it, I am afraid we cannot be alive till the daybreak.”

“But...”

Phoenix in the darkness could hear them clearly. It seemed that Chidi was going to be resurrected at the cost of numerous boys’ lives. “Father is so stupid that he does not listen to my dissuasion. If he becomes Chidi’s pawn, how should I react to him? For father, I have to stop Chidi from killing people.” Even if it would take her life, Phoenix was also willing to do so.

Looking at the two black shadows in the alley, Phoenix had a plan in the heart. She waved her spiritual fingers, and then a man came out in the floating light. Phoenix touched the cheek with satisfaction.

“Please, let go of my brother.”

There was a child’ cry from the alley. Phoenix traced after voice and found a kneeling child at the corner. Phoenix gestured her spiritual fingers and chopped it at the man in black. And the man ducked her attack.

“Let go of the children and I will spare your death.”

The man in black hit a palm, and Phoenix jumped up to the roof.

“Leng Cang, scoot! If there is something wrong, Chidi will eat us!”

“I know...”

“It’s not so easy to escape.”

The phoenix flew to block Leng Cang’s road and spread her Spirit Power to erect a foggy wall. Leng Cang held the child and leapt up to the roof. Phoenix charged her whip at him, and then Leng Cang’s shins were twined. His body was forced to rise upside down and slid down the eaves. The child in his hands was free from the bondage and fell along the eaves.

Seeing the situation was not good, Phoenix spread her wings to catch the child. Leng Cang transformed into a Spirit Power and gave out another palm. Phoenix swayed the wings, and a strong wind blew in the alley. The flying rubble thrust straight to Leng Cang. Glowing wings lit the alley, and the suspending Spirit Power pounced on the black shadow. Under the heavy blow, the black shadow was severely wounded, and Leng Cang rushed to him immediately.

“Elder brother.”

Leng Cang picked up his elder brother, his anger burning. He gathered Spirit Power with his hands and charged it at Phoenix. The evil spirit in the small alley soared to the sky. Spread-out Phoenix’s wings erupted with flames, which pressed Leng Cang nowhere to hide. Then, Phoenix took a cold glance at him.

“We have no animosity against you. Why do you press us hard like that?”

“You are aiding an evildoer to do evil...”

“It is the order of the Majesty, Chidi. How dare we disobey it?”

“Chidi’s lair... Lead me to take a look.”

“I dare not. I only beg for death.”

“Do you? I would like to see how deep your brotherhood is.”

Phoenix condensed the Spirit Power secretly and lunged toward the black shadow, and the blazing heat like magma dashed to the black shadow. In a blink, the black shadow was engulfed by the flames. Looking at the elder brother rolling on the ground, Leng Cang had to succumb to Phoenix’s Spirit Power.

Inside the palace, Su Chenyang move with caution. The Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. To go to Chidi’s lair, he had to pass through the Imperial Garden. What’s more, the path to the Blood Pool was riddled with mechanisms. Looking at the towering Imperial Palace, Su Chenyang flew to the roof. The Imperial Garden in the moonlight was extremely quiet. But no one could think that the magnificent underground palace buried innocent wraith.

“Leng Cang, do not play any tricks.”

Phoenix noticed Leng Cang gathering his Spirit Power secretly. “This guy is really cunning.”

“Under the Imperial Garden.”

“Lead the way.”

Leng Cang jumped into the lotus pond and pressed the mechanism. The pool water slowly dispersed. When the bridge surface made of the cable was exposed, Phoenix flew on the bridge. Leng Cang took the lead all the way, while Phoenix followed. Seeing the water wave spread in all directions, Su Chenyang on the roof was happy in his heart. He flew down by wind and followed them quietly. “It seems that someone is more anxious than me.”

Phoenix walked cautiously for fear that Leng Cang would play some tricks. When the iron bridge fell to the bottom of the lake, Leng Cang flew down. Phoenix looked around and found no suspicious person.

Su Chenyang hid in the darkness and remembered all the mechanism on the bottom of the lake. When the two black shadows entered the stone gate, Su Chenyang pressed the mechanism, and then stone gate hummed. Su Chenyang snapped his spiritual fingers. After a wisp of light smoke, Su Chenyang disappeared.

It was dark and damp in the underground palace. Phoenix lit up candles with her spiritual fingers. Beneath her was a puddle of bloody water. Obviously, someone had suffered the calamity just now. Phoenix stopped, and a sharp pain came from her back. When she turned around, she could not find Leng Cang’s figure any longer. Not until then did Phoenix realise that she had fallen into Leng Cang’s trap. Her arms and legs were confined by iron chains, and the floating iron chains became tightened and locked Phoenix firmly.

“This is what you got to threaten me.”

“Leng Cang, did well. It seems that this man’s blood is delicious.”

“It’s father’s voice.” It seemed that father had followed Chidi, and only Phoenix herself was not in the know. Despair swallowed her again.

“Supervisor Yuan, when will Chidi ascend to be Devil God?”

“It is coming soon. If there is nothing wrong, Chidi will become the real Devil God after passing the tribulation tonight. You must be careful and do not allow any miscellaneous person to enter the underground palace. The day when he ascends successfully is the day when we can command the whole three realms. And take this robust man to the Blood Pool for Chidi’s cultivation.”

“Father sends me to the Blood Pool. To resurrect Chidi, father is doing things offensive to nature and reason.” With the thought, Phoenix kept weeping, extremely disappointed with her father.

Su Shenyang hid in the corner, waiting for the appearance of Chidi. But the emergence of the fire-tribe. Nascent Soul was out of Su Chenyang’s expectation. “What will happen if Xiao Qi knows it? It seems that I do not come to the human world for nothing.”

“Who?”

Someone discovered Su Chenyang, though Su Chenyang clung to the wall closely. It seemed that Chidi had experts as common as the clouds and his invisibility was in vain. Spirit Power bound Su Chenyang tightly like vines. Su Chenyang condensed his Spirit Power and chopped at the moving vines.

“It’s not so easy to escape.”

A more powerful Spirit Power penetrated Su Chenyang, and then he felt his arms were tingling and his chest was as uncomfortable as being squeezed.

“Congratulations, the Majesty! The Spirit Power goes up to a higher level. He can be kept for Chidi’s practicing.”

“Supervisor Yuan, you are right.”

Su Chenyang was lifted by the Spirit Power. When seeing Su Chenyang, Nascent Soul was surprised first and then showed more hatred. “Xiao Qi is haunting everywhere. I just came to the human world for a while, and now is followed by the people from the Fairy Kingdom. Pity on him. He will lose his life for nothing.”

“Supervisor Yuan, do you know him?”
