The red fox stepped forward and shook its head, indicating that it did not know her.
âYou know me!â Feng Ruqing raised her hand and dragged the fox into her arms. âBut all the spirit beasts I know are already contracted with me, and youâre... Luo Liâs husband?â
The red foxâs eyes flashed in panic as it looked at the powerful Nan family behind it.
The look in its eyes had completely exposed it.
The Luo family of Tian Shen Manor had a red fox raised by Luo Li as her husband. The red fox had come out to save Luo Li on the day of the great disaster of Tian Shen Manor and had suffered many injuries.
However, the red fox back then was not as powerful as it was now; that was why Feng Ruqing did not recognize it in the beginning.
She was only teasing this fox just now. People said foxes were smart and cunning, but this fox was so naive.
When she was in Tian Shen Manor, she had helped Luo Li heal the red fox. However, the time they spent together was too short, so she did not correctly remember this foxâs scent.
âI donât know you. Youâve mistaken me for another fox,â the red fox said slowly.
âSo you can speak like a human? Whereâs Luo Li? Why did you come to Land of No Return alone? And how did you become so strong?â Feng Ruqing asked, ignoring the red foxâs denial.
The red fox stiffened, a little annoyed. âI told you I donât know you. If you donât want any trouble, let me go!â
âOh...â
Feng Ruqing smiled at the group of people that walked toward her. âIâve got my eye on this fox, so you all go back to your place.â
A yellow-robed old man stopped in front of her. He felt a bit furious after hearing Feng Ruqingâs words.
âYoung Lady, all the spirit beasts in the world belong to the Nan family. Do you want to rob others of their belongings forcefully?â
Feng Ruqing laughed. âBut my girl loves this male fox. She will cry if she knows youâve taken her fox. So, I cannot give it to you...â
The red fox stiffened. âThis woman... Do you still not understand?
âHow will I face Luo Li in the future if something happened to this woman?â
âHuh!â The old man snorted coldly. âThen, youâll become the Nan familyâs enemy!â
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Feng Ruqing.
This voice was familiar to the people of the Nan family. All of them stiffened and looked in the direction of the voice...
âSince my granddaughter likes this fox, you people of the Nan family should give it to her.â
The yellow-robed old manâs face sank as he looked at the old man in the red-robed with hatred on his face. âTian Ya, itâs you again! Why do we meet you everywhere we go?â
Tian Ya laughed. âThatâs just a misfortune for your Nan family. My granddaughter wants this fox. Iâll spare your life if you leave immediately. Go back and tell that bastard, Nan, he doesnât need to keep sending people to chase me. Iâll go to look for him myself later! And...â
He paused and continued, âTell him to clean his neck and wait for me!â
The others from the Nan family were filled with anger after hearing Tian Yaâs words. They tried to make a move, but the yellow-robed old man brought his hand up to stop them.
âWeâll let this fox go for now. Letâs go!â
