Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 117 A Back Figure in the Darkroom

Finally, Madam Hou Qing agreed with the marriage. However, courtesy was still indispensable. The matchmaker should come to propose a marriage, and Shenzong decided to be the matchmaker in person. Madam Hou Qing felt extremely flattered. Changxi even sent betrothal gifts to her. Although she was in Kunlun, courtesy could not be neglected. Han Chiyou hoped the 6th day would come soon.

In the meantime, Wuyou felt her husband acted cryptically. Wuyou asked him several times but he avoided answering her questions. One night, Xu Linghe saw his little woman sleeping and left Ao Ze in the moonlight. Wuyou followed him. Recently, she felt he appeared and disappeared mysteriously. When arriving at Teal Hill’s mountains, Wuyou realized that her husband did not forget her wish.

Here used to be a Fairyland in human society and homeland for foxes. But now it was reduced into a state of devastation. Wuyou felt guilty of her people. The things were still there, but men were no more the same ones. Streets in Teal Hill were cheerless and desolate. Three devil soldiers got drunk and slept on the street. Wuyou landed off the clouds and stepped on the bluestone path. She closed her eyes to feel the homeland’s fragrance. The slate under her feet rang rhythmically. The moonlight extended her lonely figure. The candlelight behind the stone house lit dazzlingly. The familiar streets were full of strange scents. Devil army had invaded her homeland, drove away and exterminated the fox tribe. So the prosperity here was covered up by desolateness.

Wuyou spread her divine consciousness to search for her husband. Today, Teal Hill was extraordinarily strange—besides devil soldiers on the streets, there were no vendors from Baize who were often seen in Teal Hill. Wuyou transformed herself into a plume of smoke and floated into the devil army’s barrack. Viewed from afar, the barrack was well illuminated. Wuyou flew to the barrack and ran into several little soldiers. Her spiritual fingers flipped, and then those soldiers were reduced into a pool of blood. Her divine consciousness told her that her husband was not far away. Wuyou kept searching. When arriving at the Commander-in-chief’s camp, Wuyou came across an acquaintance—the last person she wanted to see. How could Xiao Qi be in Teal Hill? Although he had paid allegiance to Chidi, why did he come to Teal Hill? Was it related to Yu Xuanji? Wuyou followed quietly. When almost getting into the camp, the black shadow charged at her. Wuyou ducked it and was about to condense spiritual power when a familiar voice rang.

“Do you want to murder your husband?”

“How is it?” Wuyou jumped a few meters away when seeing the black shadow. How could it be Xiao Qi.

“Little woman, it is me. Xiao Qi is there.”

Xiao Qi did stand not far from the camp. There must be a certain reason why her husband disguised himself as Xiao Qi. Did Chidi have any plot?

“Tonight, it is bustling.”

Xu Linghe held Wuyou’s little hands and hid in the corner. Baize’s government officials were busy in and out. Wuyou followed in quietly. Xu Linghe popped out suddenly and scared a government official of Baize.

“Linghe, do you want to take him away?”

Wuyou asked in a low voice. The Baize’s official was scared to the ground, and then picked himself up when seeing clearly the acquaintance.

“Your Excellency.”

Xu Linghe seemed confounded a moment, and then became calm. Now he was Xiao Qi. “Why do I do things stealthily?” Xu Linghe thought. If he wanted to know the military layout map of Baize and Chidi, he had to bypass Xiao Qi. Baize’s government official fawned on him and led Xu Linghe into Baize’s barrack. Wuyou changed herself into a little attendant and followed closely. In the military camp, Xu Linghe remained silent. Baize’s government official asked Xu Linghe several times, but Xu Linghe just nodded his head. Wuyou looked around and did not find any superior Baize’s government officials.

“This is Mr. Xiao...”

A junior government official introduced. Afraid of being discovered, Xu Linghe just kept nodding his head. Baize’s government official enthusiastically let Xiao Qi sit at the main position and handed Baihao Tea. Steaming tea scent drilled into the nose. Xu Linghe was very cautious. After all, he was not Xiao Qi, so he felt a bit guilty. Baize’s government official saw Xiao Qi did not like the tea scent and was rather disappointed. Wuyou was on alert. Because her husband’s safety was foremost. And She would get the Teal Hill back one day.

“Your Excellency, this is the thing you want. There is a layout map about thirty barracks and ten night-attack units.”

Xu Linghe took the map and clasped into the palm. His middle fingers tapped the table rhythmically, his knuckle clear. Wuyou jerked the corner of her mouth and thought that her husband was really doughty, even in the enemy’s military camp, he could remain so calm and easy. In the lamplight, Xu Linghe had the inherent imposing air. Wuyou looked at him obsessively. And her hands were clenched heavily and then, Wuyou collected herself. Xu Linghe could not help but let out a sigh. It was a pity they were in the others’ military camp. Otherwise, Xu Linghe would comfort his little woman well. However, Wuyou did not know her man’s thought, but just felt remorseful and angry about her anthomaniac behavior.

“I heard that the Teal Hill’s remnants are going to attack Baize. Is it true?”

Xu Linghe was sounding the government official out. After all, a number of militaries had been deployed in Teal Hill. If say they did not have any military intentions, it was impossible. So there was only one possibility that a secret force was resisting, and if Baize wanted to occupy Teal Hill, the secret force must be eradicated to achieve the merge finally. Reminded by her husband, Wuyou could not stop thinking. Who would be the secret force? Uncle Jiefei? Ning Shang? They were impossible! And those elders with superior cultivation had been killed by the Wolf King when they came out to save Wuyou. And the rest were the old, the weak or the disabled. So who was helping Teal Hill in the dark?

“Your Excellency, you’re well-informed. To tell you the truth, recently, a Teal Hill’s secret force keeps disturbing the barrack. It does make me unable to sleep with worry.”

“Chidi sends me to the army to rectify the devil army and reorganize the military discipline so as to get the Teal Hill on the right track.”

“His Excellency is really thoughtful and thinks for Baize.”

“We are family. You’re a member of Madam Xuan’s family. So His Majesty is always caring about you.”

Baize’s government official was more proud at the two words “caring about” and kept praising his Goddess profusely. However, Wuyou heard the name with teeth gnashing, thinking that the robbers and killers killed the Teal Hill’s people and even smuged about their evildoing. At that moment, Wuyou had a desire to kill them. But Xu Linghe coughed lightly to remind his little woman not to take a reckless move. After all, they were outnumbered by the enemy. No matter how powerful their spirit power was, they could not fight against tens of thousands of soldiers and had no advantage over it. Why Xu Linghe came there was to know Teal Hill’s current situation and find out the breach to win. But now he knew there was a secret force in Teal Hill, and things became easier to handle. And how to find the secret force to give the Baize-and-Chidi military layout map to them? Xu Linghe could not think a way out. Baize’s government official fawned on him desperately and even let the Commander-in-chief’s camp to Xu Linghe to rest. In the Chidi’s barrack in the distance, the real Xiao Qi was not so at ease. After meeting Xiaoyao, Xiao Qi became more envious of Xu Linghe. The evil spirit was released from his body. In order to fight against Xu Linghe in Kunlun, Xiao Qi had to take a plunge. He took advantage of Yu Xuanji and let her devoted herself to paving the road for him. Meanwhile, Chidi met Yu Xuanji’s every requirement. With Yu Xuanji’s help in the dark and Xiao Qi’s own strength, Xiao Qi could get Chidi’s trust easily. And many of Xiao Qi’s trusted followers had won Chidi’s favor. When Nascent Soul realized the crisis, everything had been definitely settled. To help Xiao Qi, Yu Xuanji had informed Baize to treat Xiao Qi with due respect, and Xu Linghe was treated as a distinguished guest. Because Xiao Qi was engaged in official business, he, as the true Xiao Qi, missed the superior treatment. And now, Xu Linghe had got the layout map and he did not want to stay there any longer, because he had something important to do tonight. He planned to use some tactics to draw the Teal Hill’s dark force out. When things were settled, they turned into smokes and left the barrack. But before leaving, Xu Linghe played the deception technique—to conjure a fake figure in the barrack and the layout map was also on the tea table. And the fake figure would disappear after two hours. Baize’s government official guarded outside the camp with the fear that something wrong would happen and the Goddess would blame him.

It seemed that Xiao Qi came to the Teal Hill for inspection, but he also had his own plot secretly. The Teal Hill was Xiaoyao’s hometown, and Xiao Qi never forgot it. Although it was Chidi’s annexed territory, Xiao Qi decided to get it back sooner or later and that Xiaoyao would be the master of this land.

Xu Linghe clenched her little hands, and the land beneath his feet was the little woman’s homeland. He held a firm belief that he was bound to take the little woman’s thing. The two walked toward the candlelight.

After Baize’s citizens moved into Teal Hill, taverns appeared on the streets. Xu Linghe held his little woman into a tavern. The moment they entered the tavern, two stewards came up to greet them. Xu Linghe came there not to drink the wine but to know more about the Teal Hill’s inside story, as miscellaneous people would like to haunt in taverns. So it was a pool of various information. Since they wanted to know where the dark force hid, it was a necessary step to fish for information. The steward arranged seats for them, and served two dishes. The two just sat there quietly.

Teal Hill had been deserted for a long time, so the newly opened tavern was crowded with customers, and most of them were soldiers. Xu Linghe was more cautious. Wuyou held the cup to taste the wine slowly. Though it tasted light, Wuyou could feel a strong flavor of her homeland. Take a swig and Wuyou covered her mouth. The burning feeling spread from the throat and she even could not open her eyes. Tears dropped and burned the back of her hands. Wuyou wanted to withdraw the hands but was wrapped by a pair of big hands.

“It used to be a private house of Jiefei where various good wine of the human world was placed. But now it is changed into a tavern.”

Wuyou talked about the story of the past. In the darkroom sat a man who kept looking at the things and people outside. Xu Linghe, though having concealed his true look, was still outstanding with his elegant demeanor. The man measured Xu Linghe with the eyes and found that since the dish and wine had been served on the table, Xu Linghe did not drink any wine while the woman behind her kept drinking.

“Yan, take that man in.” The man in the darkroom pointed at Xu Linghe. And the man called Yan pushed the darkroom door open and approached Xu Linghe slowly. Then, an iron chain flew out. The man in the darkroom shook his head and thought why the reckless Yan fought against others again, and he was not the match at all but still tried to stagger on. Then, the spiritual fingers flicked in the darkroom, and the wine and dishes were bounced up and splashed to Wuyou’s face. Yan was stunned, wondering whether the leader did it on purpose. Xu Linghe would not tolerate it and ran to the darkroom immediately. Wuyou even had no time to stop him and was puzzled about what was going on to her husband.

Xu Linghe would not turn hostile to others over such trifles. Apparently, someone was drawing his attention. Xu Linghe clang to the darkroom door carefully. The door opened. Wuyou was hard on his heels. In the dark, Wuyou could only see a back figure.

“Young Master, you’re a stranger here.” A hoarse voice sounded in the corner, which cheered Wuyou up.

“Revisit the old haunt.” Xu Linghe was probing.

“Yan, tell Lv E not to be traced...”

Though hoarse, Wuyou could hear clearly the words “Lv E”. Her little hand clenched Xu Linghe, and her fingers drew something gently. Xu Linghe got his little woman’s intention—she was trying to tell him, the back figure might be one of the Teal Hill’s remnants.

Lv E, the messager of the Teal Hill, was only known to the Spiritual Master and a few elders. Lv E was Jiangyu’s messager with high reputation and respect. The person that could order Lv E was not a common one. So Wuyou was pretty sure that the person must be her friend. Wuyou used the Pangu sound transmission to tell her husband. Xu Linghe’s purpose was to find the dark force, because it was too hard for Kunlun to fight against Chidi and Baize, and Kunlun should take advantage of other forces.

“Your Excellency, do you know Jiangyu, the great God?”

It was asserted that the back figure was a remnant of the Teal Hill. So Wuyou revealed her identity. If he was an old acquaintance, he would show his true look. Xu Linghe knew the little woman’s intention. There was a dreadfully silence. The back figure felt a shock but became calm again. Yan, who came to report broke the silence.

“I will show you something.”

Xu Linghe took out the devil army distribution map in Teal Hill from his chest. Yan took the map and cast a glance at Xu Linghe. Such an important thing, how could the strange Young Master give to the leader so easily?
