Chen Xiaobei was right.
Deep into the night, Kitagawa Heya sent him a text, informing him that they had finished chanting the incantations 8,100 times.
That would have meant that Demonic Fox was now officially brainwashed.
But what the Emperor God and the others did not know was that Demonic Foxâs consciousness was awakened by Chen Xiaobei. All the hard work they put into chanting that invocation over 7,000 times was all but a waste.
â¦
In Sovereign Divine Sect.
Demonic Fox was locked in a room heavily guarded by about a dozen Sovereign Divine Sect disciples. Even the walkway was heavily guarded.
These were all the True Nirvana cultivated elites.
They would notice if there was even a slight disturbance inside and outside the house! Even a fly would not be able to get in!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In a secluded corner from afar, Kitagawa Heya and Chen Xiaobei who was in a disguise stood watch.
âBro Bei! Youâve already seen it for yourself! Thereâs no way we could get her out of that house!â
Kitagawa Heya was on tenterhooks.
âThese disciplesâ cultivation may not be high but thereâs a lot of them! If you fight them, they will immediately send out a warning and the Emperor God as well as the other three Grand Elders will come!â
âDonât worry, I will not attack!â Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, âI am still waiting for Nikkawa Uchu and Tenshou God to complete their transaction!â
âWhat is your plan?â Kitagawa Heya asked. âIf you donât attack them, how are you ever going to even get near the house?â
Chen Xiaobei shot a smile at him and took out the Nightstalker Outfit from the Infinite Space Ring. Putting it on, he was immediately camouflaged with the dark skies.
âMy god! Bro Bei! You can become invisible?! Now thatâs incredible!â
Kitagawa Heya rubbed his eyes and blinked.
âDid you think I came here as a joke? Of course, I have something up my sleeve.â Chen Xiaobei replied.
âThatâs true! Bro Bei is a legend; and simply could not be measured by human standards!â
Kitagawa Heya thought for a while then asked, âBut, how are you going to get Tochigi Hyokitsune out? Does she know how to become invisible too?â
âShe doesnât. But, Iâll come up with something. Since Iâm here, I can get her out!â Chen Xiaobei said, full of confidence.
âEven so, I still have one reservation!â
Kitagawa Heya said, âThe big wedding is tomorrow. If you take Tochigi Hyokitsune away, who is going to take her place and marry Nikkawa Okazaka? Without the Holy Lady of Divine Sovereign Sect, the deal between Nikkawa Uchu and the Tenshou would be void!â
âThat is not something you have to worry about. I already have a plan for that!â Chen Xiaobei did not want to waste time explaining so he prodded him, âHurry up! All you need to do is figure out how to get Little Foxâs room door opened. Thatâs all you have to do!â
âYes⦠Yes masterâ¦â
Kitagawa Heya nodded quietly.
Even though he obeyed Chen Xiaobeiâs orders, he was still disconcerted. How was Chen Xiaobei supposed to leave with the Demonic Fox when he did not have the ability to become invisible? How was Chen Xiaobei able to find a replacement for Demonic Fox?
These two problems were not easily solved. It could even affect the events that were supposed to take place after!
But, with everything else considered, the final decision was still in Chen Xiaobeiâs hands. Since Chen Xiaobei had already made up his mind, Kitagawa Heya would just have to go along with it.
â¦
âGrand Elder, why are you here? After chanting for so long, you should be getting a good nightâs rest! The wedding tomorrow will be another long day of work!â
The two disciples standing at the door asked politely.
âIâm a little concerned so Iâve come to see the Holy Lady.â Kitagawa Heya then ordered invoking the authority of a Grand Elder, âLet me in!â
âErâ¦â The disciples at the door looked uncomfortable.
âThe Emperor God had decreed that no one was allowed to enter without his permissionâ¦â
âWho says I want to come in?â Kitagawa Heya retorted, an obvious agitation in his voice. âOpen the door so I can take a look! Are you suggesting that a Grand Elder like me will do anything to harm the Holy Lady?â
âNo! No! No! Thatâs not what I meant!â
The disciples shook their heads as they opened the door, trying to salvage the situation.
âGrand Elder has always been loyal to the Emperor God. You will never do anything like that! Go ahead and look! You can even come in if you want to! We will not stop you!â
âHmph! Donât even try! Iâm not going in!â
Kitagawa Heya peeked into the house and then said, âSheâs still in there. You can close the door now!â
âYes!â
The disciples grinned widely at him and then closed the door, both thinking that this Grand Elder was indeed loyal to a fault. He obeyed the decree and did not enter the room. What a rare breed!
Little did they know, when they opened the door earlier, another person had secretly snuck in right under their noses!
The layout of the house was simple, like those in the ancient times. There was a simple bed and table, and no sign of electronics or communication devices.
Demonic Fox was wearing the same white outfit, sitting by the window with her chin in her palm, her long dark hair cascading down her back as she looked out into the dark, deep in thoughts.
She looked like a snow lotus blooming in the dark. Quiet, elegant, and pure.
âLittle Fox! What are you daydreaming about? Were you thinking of me?â
A flippant voice rang inside her head. A leery smile flashed across her mind.
âPftt! Please! Who would be thinking about a creep like you?!â Demonic Fox said told herself as to avoid those who were guarding outside from hearing her.
âDonât you miss me? Oh, how sad! Does that mean that you wonât try to stop me if I leave?â Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
âAre you here? Where? Stop joking around! Come out!â
Demonic Fox got up abruptly. Her large beautiful eyes widened as she searched her surroundings.
The truth was, she had been thinking about Chen Xiaobei the whole night, waiting for him.
She knew that everything she worked so hard for the past twenty years amounted to nothing.
Bieng reliant on her own strength did not help her get out of this hellhole nor avenge her family!
She had completely given up on her future and had even lost the slightest hope!
There is no greater sorrow than a heart that never rejoices. What is the difference between the dead and a person who has no hope for tomorrow?
If Chen Xiaobei had not spoken to her yesterday, she might have had chosen to end this wretched life by committing suicide.
It was Chen Xiaobei who given her a sliver of hope!
Hope that this dynamite of a man would be able to do what Nikkawa Okazaka and the Emperor God were unable to do!
âChen Xiaobei! Please stay! Iâm begging you⦠Please donât leave me⦠Please donât abandon meâ¦â
Chen Xiaobei was nowhere in sight. Her eyes reddened and large droplets of tears streamed down her cheeks.
âSilly fox! I was just teasing you! Whyâd you cry?â
Realizing Chen Xiaobeiâs heart had softened, he quickly made himself visible.
âChen Xiaobei!â
A wide smile spread across Demonic Foxâs lips as she leaped onto Chen Xiaobei and hugged him tightly!
She hugged him very very tightly.
